A meeting for the formation of a cyoling club in Greytown, was held in the Fixe Brigade Station last night, which was adjourned for a fortnight, in order to allow Mr S. Roodwell, who is going to the South Island this week, to inspect thn. various Woycles there, and enquire as to prices, eto, The plana for tho proposed publio pump and drinking trough to bo erected by a resident of Masterton near tho bell tower m Queen-street have neon prepared. A trough six feet long is to be constructed for the übo of 'horses, underneath which will bo one for dogs. Both are to be supplied with water troin a'Douglas pump, to which will be attached an enamel mug, The'whole will be a great public convenience!' Tendera for the erection of the pump and troughs are invitod through our columns.

A very handsome and hiahly finished specimen o! the coaohbuiidois' ait has just ooen completed at Mr Queon«St faotory, to the order of a Masterton resident. The vehicle under notice is an Enehsh two-wheeled buggy, with chair back panels, the most fashionable style of build at the present; time in London. The lines throughout are particularly harmonious and graceful,' and the buggy only requires to be seou to bo admiied. Mr Muir may expect orders for vehiolos of like pattern to flow in as Boon aB this stylish and comfortable machine loaves the maker's shop to begin its travels, Thu following changes in staff of the Public Trust Office wero carried into effect on the 31st March—Mr E.' P. Warren, the examiner in the office has been appointed accountant; Mr f. S» Ronaldson has been promoted from senior ledgerkeepor to the .position ol examiner; Mr T. Stephens : Ins been made senior ledgerkeepor; Mr fiuckland and Mr Small liavo retired on compensation, Mr Bucklaud has gone to the South, and Mr Small has taken passage for England. Both of thtso gentlemen havo been in indifferent health for many months past. Since the silting of the Royal (Jommissibn on the Public Trust Office thore have beeu eight retirements or transfers of officers of the old staff, The following is what one of the Wellington papers say about tho cash railway at To Aro House, Wellington ; Mr James Smith, of Te Aro House, Wellington, habitually keeps hia eyes pretty wide open, and on his recent trip to England ho combined business with pleasure, as his late importations ol "things now and strange," attest. While in New York, Mr Smith was very much struck with the system of cash railways in vogue in tho.large stores, and he spent a whole day in examining theso latest of labour-saving deyices, The result of this inspection was that ho decided to fit up To Aro House with a cash railway system, This has now been effected, and there is in operation at that popular mart, a "railway " of the very newest patent. It was brought into operation on Monday morning, and the employees are just beginuing to get iised to it. The cashier's do : k is cen-

tmlly situated in tho establishment, and from this ceDtre •■' slender stool witea radiate from the cashier's doak to the sales stations, all coming in overhead. ThecarajwßsnoiselesslyalongtheseMrea until they reach their destination at either end, where they automatically interlock with a fixed spring ; motor and come silently to rest, By a eimple turn of the handle to right or loft of about, half an inch, the cash box is instantly detaohed from the car and emptied of its contents, An easy downward pull of a few inches upon a cord pendant from the rrachine, puts the spring in operation, and automatic cally releases the car, which glides swiftly and silently fofivard, as if impelled by a magical force.' The speed of the car, as well as > the distance to bo traversed by it, are repulatod by simply adjusting the releasing device. A Bpeed of 100 feet in from three to four seconds ißeasily attainable. The usual' plan is to run the tracks horizontally, and place a spring motor at each end, but these cars will moutit'an incline just as easily as they will run on a level, and- where parties wish to elevate their cash desks, tho cars are propelled up tho iucline'and allowed to return,by Gravity. Such is the official description of the system, as furnished by tho "Lawson Store Service Company," of New York and a dozen other cities of the United States. :The beauty of the' thing is its regular land easy working, and the saving of labour which it effects. The salesman at his counter takes the money from ; his customer, uu'screws the'bottom of,' the little car or, box overhead,: puts in tho money, aiid with one tbuoh of the finger sets the car in morion. It proceeds rapidly,to the cash desk, where: the cashier detaches it, takes out the money and it necessary puts change back, aiid in any case sendß the caraway again to the', Balesmin, Thus the salesmen need not. as of old, bo running backwards'and forwards to the cash desk. The system oxtends to all tho departments and works admirably, as by the way does every v thing in'Te Aro 'House. The railway was erected by Mr Thomas Ballinger, Willis-street, and Mr James Wilson, builder, and their work has been most efficiently performed. Our reporter was shown a good'deal of tho inner working of this establishment 'yesterday, and tie was profoundly Impressed iwith the method and organisation exhibited everywhere, and with the generalship required for the effective management of the concern. rU the least noticeable feature of the establishment is thoevident'effioiericy of the'employes and the discipline they display in their working. Passing; through the establishment under the guidance of *Mr Sihjth, one observes tljat everybody is bt)sy, either gerying customers; arranging the stock, oraotiyely engaged jn somejnjiuner... A glance into the a glance is /all an ordinary.! nerved man can venture to take with the eyes of so many young ladies immediately brought to bear on him—reveals a wonderland. This room and its appointments would be bard to'surpass anywhere. ; - ...•{•-'> ,■
