LOCAL AND GENERAL.

lhe Mayor of Carterton has invited the inhabitants to observo a holiday to-monw (Thursday) onaccouut of the Mastcrton Show.

Mr I. P. Ayson informs us that the I Fish Ponds will be open to the public' all day to-morrow. .Visitors to tho ohow will probably take advantage of i this fact.

Tho KovA. C. Yorke lectures in St Matthew's Sunday Schoolroom on Tuesday next, the subject being "The Origin of the Alphabet, or tho Eomanco and Mystery of AJ.C."

Several Mastorton residents left by the afternoon train on Tuesday en mute for Pnlmerstoii to attend tho annual show.

.4 Masterton baking firm has reduced the price of the lib loaf to sixpence.

The llev. J. D. Eussell will address the boys of the Blue and White League tins (Wednesday) 'evening at Oxford ! House, in the unavoidable absence of thelicviCYorke.

Hie machinery and implement exhibits for the Masterton Show have been arriving in large numbers dnily by the train, and are m advance of those exhibited last year.

Messrs Chamberlain Bros are offering a.cwt of flour as a prize for the best home-made bread exhibited at tho next Show of the .Maslerlou Horticultural and Industrial Society. One evening a month is to bo observed by the St Matthew's Club, as a '•' social evening, "when members will be at liberty to invite friends.

Forty-eight applications to be placed on the Burgess Jioll, were accepted by the Borough Council last night, somo of them from porsons on the Defaulters' List, although rates have since been paid. A legal opinion is to be taken as to whether these latter can vote at the next Mayoral election.

The following misleading telegram appears in tho Evening Pod:- "Tho Hon W. I'. Kccvcs, and Messrs Collins, W. Hutchison, Kelly, and Hogg, arc to bcinvited by the New Zealand Workers' Union and the North Wairarapa Liberal Association to address a public meeting here this week. Mr Hogg is to be presented with a testimonial at a social gathering next month." The North Wairarapa liberal Association has refused to act with the New Zealand Workers' I Union,

Among the machinery which will be exhibited at the Mastcrton Show tomorrow, will bo the Masscy-Harris Company's reaper and binder, steel cultivator etc. The Massev-Harris Binder lias a reputation as a prize winner in a large number of field trials, and will be found to be a good, durable, and satisfactory implement. The cultivator is, perhaps, one of the best implements in the market for cleaning ground and preI paring a good seed bed. Before leaving ■the district Mr Young, the Company's l representative, will give a public trial of the cultivator.

The St. Matthew's Club has once more started upon n linn footing, and if the Club was not all that could bo desired towards the latterend of last term when the members were left to themselves, failing the promised assistance of outsiders, they will in the future endeavour to regain the former confidence placed m them, and make themselycsa power in the land under the new and revised management. It is very probable that the St Matthew's Club will have their gymnastic apparatus and appliances placed iu tho , Drill Hall. A new feature of tho Club will be that no outdoor games of any description will be countenanced in the Club's rooms, such asfootball or hockey. This has been one of the standing complaints against members
