The first consignment of wool this season from Pahiatua, was delivered at the Eketahuna railway station on Tuesday. One of the new things in agricultural "fixings" at yesterday's Show was which attracted some attention was Gray's patont cast iron canisters for broad cast sued sowers, shown by Messrs Beidand Gray.

The oldest of existing English county crioket clubs is Surrey, founded in 1811, the youngest of those now reckoned first class is Gloucestershire, founded in 1870; Derbyshire began in the same year, but though once in the highrr oircle it has dropped into the 6econd group, Kent, though often appearing as a county, and from 1842 to 1854 playing England in tho Canterbury week, dates its county club from 1859 ; and although Yorkshire played many county matches prior to 1868, yet her county club was not formed uutil 1863, in which year Middlesex also started its club. Sussex dates its club beginning from 18&7 i and Lancashire from 1866. A miTßßitiQ verdict.—Speaking of one of the moßt noted of colonial specialities, the pres3 says' 'Sharland's Baking Powder deserves more than a passing notice,for the "Moa" Brand Baking Powder onjoya a reputation second to none. From ono end' of New Zealand to the other, large orders are received for this popular brand. Evon in the most out of the way districts the careful house-wifey possessed with the laudable ambition to make her bread and her scones better than her neighbours' buys .Sharland's Baking Powder, and triumphs over the few of her less sensible sisters, who, from a mistaken senso of ecouomv, buy apparently oheaper brands. The recipe of a good Baking Powder is anything but a secret bnt how very few manufacturers use, as Messrs Sharland k Co. do, the best only of materials, carefully tested before mixture and exactly proportioned. 1 Readers, who require an economical satisfactory and healthful Baking Pow« der, cannot do better than use the Moa" brand..-ApvT .* "

Captain Harry Field, of tho Masterton contingent of the Salvation Army, ffisheß us to express his thank-B to the people of this locality for their' very liberal contributions to the Self Denial Fuud of the Army, lot which appeals havo been made during the past week. Altogether no lets than 125 was collected in Masterton alone during sevsn days, and that mostly in small sums. The |Bame effort under the auapicea of the Cartfrton-Groytown-Foatherston corps produced about £lB, or a total for the Wairaiapa of £4B. Last year the aggregate donations of tho district towards the same fund wore only £l7 altogether. The improvement, therefore, goes to indicate that experience of tho Army and its works strengthens tho good opinion held of them by the many people who have a knowledge of their methods.

Visitors to tho Carterton Show are enjoined to pay a visit to Mr A. L. Whyte's commodious and well-ap-pointed luncheon booth on Thursday and Friday next.

That informs the evil-disposed that sooner or later they must pay the penalty of their crimes, and even as one man is bound to respect another man's rightß and not lay violent hands on other mens' proporty, so is everyone who cares for his own well-being and for tho well-being of the country of his birtli or adoption, bound to take cave ol his own, to Bhepkerd his own resources, keep a watchful eye on his own property, and safeguard his own interests, The citizen who has a sovereign to spend and who spends it so that ho only gets ten snillings' worth for his money, is practically as bad as the man who puts his hand into his neighbour's pocket and takes out hall a sovereign j nay, he is worse, because, in allowing himself to bo imposed upon he'robs his dearest friendthat is himsolf, Therefore ho should buy everything at Hooper's Bon Marcho, and no matter what he wanls-a coat, a suit of clothes, a pound of tea or a bag of sugar* a large parcel of groceries or a small item of haberdashery, ho will find it the same.
