CORRESPONDENCE.

THEY'VE GOT 'EM ON THE LIST. [to thk KDITOR.] Sir,-Before the football enthnjiasm for a season wanes and dies, let me remiud Wairarapa enthusiasts of a transaction which concerns them not too creditably. Perhaps they will take the hint, put their hand's in their pockets, and settle up promptly and honestly, who knows ? In the year 1890, the Wairarapa representatives visited Napier, and as even footballers will somotiraos do, ran short of funds. They might have arrived here in " frosty " weather, and the gate money may have become watered by the after drip, but this I cannot of a .cortainty say. Anyhow, they wanted money, and the good Samaritans of Hawke's Bay lent them £35 on tho understanding that when tho latter went south next season, the money should be repaid. In 1891 the northerners visited Masteiton, aud the Wairarapa treasury being in its ordiuarily ohronic state of leanness could only afford-notwithstanding * full

pressure squeeze—the sum of | £22, From that day to this, the I Nnpieritoa havo whistled with more or less vehemence for the outstanding difference, £l3, but it has not been forthcoming. The Treasurer of the local union has sent a number of huniblo requests this season fora refund, butuptodate has nothad evon the courtesy of a reply. Thesame fate has attended my own efforts in the same direction. Perhaps tho tireless football critic of your staff, would feel inclined to stir up this matter, till the sporting public of Wairarapa became tired of seeing it mentioned.—l am, etc.,

One ol the sights of Wellington, at au; time is undoubtedly tho magnificent cstablislimeat.knmvn as Te Aro House, nnd now that every department within its walls is filled to overflowing, with a bewildering variety of the season's novelties in millinery, mantles, dress-s, etc., it is more than ever a pleasure and profit to visit the wholesale family drapery warehouse, Te Aro House.

Particular attention has been paid this year to the requirements of country customers, aud the result is to be seen in the immense and varied stock of calicoes, shirtings, flannels, llannelleltes, strong wearing dress materials, men's and boys' clothing, &c. The choice in each depart, meut, is almost unlimited, as may be imagined, when it is stated that ot flannelette alone, over 50,000 yards havo this season been imported at Te Aro House, Wellington.

A specially organised department, has been established t<i deal with country orders. Patterns of any materials in stock, will lie forwarded to any address, post free. Country residents ore invited to write for prices, or any information regarding goods wonted. It is confidently asserted that nowhere can such o wide selection, or such sterling value bo obtained, us at Te Aro House Wellington,-Anvi.
