In consequence, of the leuth of the ptfper on horse breeding, read at the Cambridge Farmers' Club, and the lengthy report of the Bankruptcy Court, the report of last night's Hamilton Borough Council meeting, letters to th« Editor, and other matters are necessarily held over. A Dissolution Moomro.~The «,N. Z. Herald's .' Wellington Correspondent telegraphing on Saturday, says :— " There are whisperings to-day about dissolution, and some members of both sides of the House are somewhat excited thereby. Not that, I believe, the Government are favourable to such a consummation, but, of course, if obstructive opposition is offered to the Government measures, and this is threatened, there seems some probability of this result, notwithstanding the distaste with which it is viewed, especially by new members; The Cambridge Farmers' Clot Annual Show will be held on Thursday, the 24th proximo," as most of our readers must ..be aware from the supplement recently issued with the Times, containing the full programme of classes,. &c, for which prizes will be offered. The Show will be held, as on the last occasion, m the ground adjoining the Club House. In horses there are twenty-nine classes, for which fbst and second prizes are offered, and m cattle, the same number, while for sheep there are eleven. There will be a shearing match for men and boys. For pigs, there are seven classes ; for poultry, . nineteen; for dogs, eighteen. Bacon,' cheese, and butter, will be represented under the head of dairy produce, and local industry encouraged by the giving of prizes to the best collection of locally made bricks, harness, and saddlery, and any other articles of local manufacture. Champion cups of the value of £10 each will be given for the best horses, mares, bulls, and cows on the ground. Bemueba Faib.— Mr Alfred Buekland's September Fair will be he'd at Remuera on the 23rd inst., when some 500 head of mixed cattle, a large proportion of which are two year old steers, will be yarded. Library ano Beading ReoM foe Mobrinsville. — A public meeting was held m a room kindly lent by Mr W. G. Harp, on Welnesday the 11th inst. with a view to establish a Library and Beading Roomr, m the rapidly increasing little town of Morriosville, but, unfortunately, for want of sufficient notice, the meeting was poorly attended. Business however, could not be postponed, as thoße who attended were determined to be supplied with reading* material, ss speedily as possible, consequently, a secretary was appointed pro tern., who drew out a subscription list m the room, and the sum of £5 was promised by those present. A managing committee, to act pro. tern. was also elected, whose duty was to draft out rules and regulations, for the guidance of the member*, these have been done, and are now to be seen together with the subscription lists at the varions places appointed for that purpose. Intending subscriber?, who were not at. the first meeting, will do well to visit Mr H»rp, who is empowered to collect subscriptions and afford further particulars, and possibly Mr Harp will receive some assistance on behalf of the infant institution at Morrinsville, from friends m Hamilton. Rewi, it is said, will visit the Waikato before March. Some of his tribe have asked him to do so to settle some tribal matters. He has had some difficulty about his steamer, which was intended to open the Kawhia trade. It appears that the Customs officials objected to the steamer running from the Manukau, because it had not conformed hi some way with the Customs rules, and ridiculous red-tape interfered, notwithstanding that such a gravely-important question as the opening of the Kawhia was concerned. Rewi telegraphed to Mr Sheehan, and early on Sunday morning the Commissioner of Customs telegraphed to Auckland^to pass the steamer, so that no further difficulty m that respect wilj arise.
