On Saturday next,MrF. ; E :W,Oos--an 'entirely unreserved sale of draper; and clothing at the Oddfellow' Sail, Featheraton, under instructions fromMrl). M.Ford, of Auckland, ' An eicitiuß incident occurred Masterton yesterday morning. A couplb of youDf! ladies had juat started out. for a drive when their horse made'a sudden turnfor the door of a liyery stable, and tripping on the korbing of the footpath, came a cropper. - Ooe of tho fair ones was unseated and accomplished a clever aorobatid 'feat,' whilst the' other, being less fortunate, screamed for .assistance. The stablo : keepor Vs promptly on the SDot; and made a pallant young lady who remained in thi) ; buggy, The shaft of the vehicle was broken,, .but ' no other damage of a serious nature was sustained,' During thenar photography enabled the ■ French Poßtmaßtor • General to send 50,000 dispatches on a piece of paper not larger than a thumb nail, fastened under a pigeon's wing. Messta : Doan and Symonda were successful in their ascent of Mount Holdsworth',' despite '.' the extremely unsuitable state of tho weather for bill climbing, of &ny kind. They, left Mastorton on Good Friday at eleven o'clook 1 in, the morning, and arrived at the v Lower Camp, where Friday night' wipjV passed, at lialf past threß o'clock, Thaf i summit, they Bay, is easily reached from , this spot in one day, and tent and swags . may confidently bo left there without the necessity of laboriously carrying ' them to the Upper Camp. On Batutday ' morning a start was made at half past I eight o'clock, theUpperOamp was passed ' at ten o'clook, and the topmost point of i Mount Holdsworth was rained at exactly , half past twelve. Here it was extremely , wet Bnd windy, and after a fow minutes had been spent iu examining the wood*. 1 work of the trig station 1 and the carved 1 signatures of. Lord Onslow and other notabilities, the homeward and down- , ward journey ;jaa commenced. The i Lower Camp was welcomed at 3.15 pm, , where at Saturday night was spent. On . Sunday morning travel-was resumed at ten minutes to eight o'clock, and Master--3 ton was reached just before 2 p,m, Both gentlemen and tb'ajreuide of course got ! thoroughly wet through ! repeatedly l during their, journey, and they were | barely able to get back at all, for all the 'streams rose rapidly'as the rain increased in its downpour. The only view obtained. ' was about half way up the mountain/J' " when a wide expanse of country, incWr* ■ ing Lake Wairarapa, became visible, 1 after which the outlook was obscured. B The atmospherio effects were, however, | very grand. Itmightbe interesting'to , add for comparison the altitudes of ' several mountains —Mount Cook, I 13,000 ft i Mount Egmont, B,oooft, 1 Mount Holdsworth, 5,700 ft. 8 Captain William .Jackson Barry, wlo • is announced to lecture in Mastertcn one b evening this weok in really anoteworthy , man.

Notmany B years ago,, Sir George Grey sent him to i Eng!»nrl on a'lecturing tomv There lie bed the honour of an audience with the Queen, and was introduced to many 1 nobleiricn'-who woro greatly in'his'careor..
