Major Kobinsoa visits Masterton to-morrow. ■ Amongst the recent accessions to the t ranks of the business people of Welling- , ton is that of the firm ot Messrs Cook & , Gray, accountants, trade assignees and , financial agents, Messrs Cook & Gray are also located at Auckland, where^they have a nwstextoiisive connection, and it must be taken as a compliment to the business possibilities of the Einpiro City that they deoided to open in Wellington also. The Brin has undertaken the most important transactions, and to show how they are regarded, we may mention that owintf to the Government Audit lnspeo- . tor in Auckland hnvina hie hands fntl 3 over a recent umbbzzlemenlciiee up there, < the fiim was specially selected by the Auditor and to audit the Local Bodies accounts in the district, 3 Messrs Cook & Gray act as trustees in ) estates, agents for absentees, negotiate * loans, sales of businesses and properties, I and make a speciality of collecting B accounts, as well as undertaking all descriptions of accounting. We would direct attention to their notification In e another column, y An architect named Campbell , anaddress at Wellington showing thß \ * advantages of improved sanitation, ancP describing the leading features of a * healthy house, he stated the chief re--1 quisites to be (1) that it should be dry; il (2) that it should be warm in winter, and il cool in summer; (8) that it should be well ventilated ; (4) that it should bo efficiently drained, These were, in fact, imperative'necessities it the health of the inmates was to be considered, if Wo draw attention toan announcement in another column from Mr A. H, Cook, of 227, Lambton Quay, Wellington, who is so well and favourably known iu , the Wellington district as a first olaas " cutter and tailor. The firm has now r been in existence for the last fifty years, the business having been successfully r carried on by grandfather, son, and Y grandson, Mr Cook employs none but „ firso- class outtors, and the work turned ; out from hii establishment cannot be approached in Wellington for excellence * of workmanship and finish. Country ordora ate speoially attended to, and 0 goodß are forwarded to any address by y parcel post. . ■ j.'-. Telegraph communication, whioh^lj 1 usually affected in stormy weather, was * very hard to maintain during the storm now just over, and Masterton had to be made a repeating station for all telegrams between Wellington, Napier, and Auoki land, thus nectssitating many extra hours of duty on the part of Mr. Aitkeni a the officer in charge, and his assistants. - The Bignsls at times were exceedingly feeble, the " leakage" probably being caused mainly by the sea-spray dashing s through the wires far up mi the East e Coast and by the contact of wet trees' in the bush districts, ilo doubt most people arc familiar with the fact that water is a very sympathoticai. conductor, and that a medium, such as a a treo, whiolwn dry weather, if hot re* ,a pellant, is quite poworlcss over'the l. superior attiactibi, the wire possesses for the current, in Wet weather becomes quite an active, agent. The sea Water, too, it is said, carries the electricity away " to some extent as it blows through In n sheets of spray. On Saturday morning Mr F, Hi Wood ,B sold by auctinn the balance of provisions remaining after' the Grey town Hospital (■ Ball, Notwithstandit.g the very severe weather there wasa large attendance at the Palace Hall, where the sale tootar' place, and the sum of £l3 IDs 9d m& realized. This will give some idea of. the liberality of the settlors in South Wairarapa, as it must be. remembered that nearly three hundred guests had sat ' down to supper, the supper room being , "' opoufromlOp.m. to 4 a.m. As the ie amount realized,is subsidised by.tho r. Government at 24a in the pound, tho I, Hospital will benefit by the »alo of ~, surplus provisions alone to the extont of e £3olos6d. ■ , , S, The pump and drinking troughs pre--1 sented to the Borough of Mastertonby , Mr G. S- W. Dalrymple were completed ir to-day. The water is conveyed from the e pump, which is situated near the firebell,' into the troughs by means of pipes in* 6 geniously arranged.. Underneath the e horse trough is a dog trough filled by y means of pipes, the overflow passing e down the street gutter. The pump and b troughs are neatly enstruoted and in t the summer months will be a great boon lto the public ■■''•' ' 0 .The .ollowing conversation was overheard ir , in the street the other day, but for obvious reasons we shall omit the name of one of the parties; the other was tho well know e draper, Mr L, J, Hooper.

Mr T. Thompson's horse " Lancer" cut the tendon* of his off fore foot rather . : seriously a diy or two since, and iB now in slings and canvas, with every prospect of oompleto rooovery of the injured limb. Mr Thompson was fortunate in the skilled aid he called in, for Mr 0. W. Langstono, M.R.0.V.5., who attended •to tlie horse, has few equals m his profession in the Colony, and he was eminently successful in the steps he took to restore unity of 111.' severed sinews and membranes, Mc Joseph J, Freeth, who for tho past . twenty-eix years has acted as clerk to the various R.M. Courts in the Wairarapa, haß been Clerk to the District Court since • Its inauguration, and for ten years has filled the office of Clerk to seven Licensing Committees, has received instructions to proceed to Wanganui to i , take up tho position of Clerk of the <» A, Court there. Mr Freeth is an energetic and capable officer who has always displayed tho greatest attention to duty, and his many friends will bo pleased to hear that his transfer means promotion It is loped also that the change of air ut 111 be bonefioial to his health, which for tho past few years has been very indifferent. ■ Mr Freeth, who leaves in about a fortnight, will bo succeeded in Masterton by Mr ibbetson, of Greymouth,
