A bevolvkk lias been lost, it will bo teeu by udvertisen.ent else whore, on the road between Hamilton and Cambridge, ' and a rew^d^of £1 will be given to any •tparj^njh^nain'g it over to Mr OJ wynno, n.t Hamilton.

Cambridge JpjUßTiic Halt.,. — Tlie Managing. Committee, being desirous of making the *Hall thoroughly suitable for concerts and various other entertainments, have effected several improvements since its erection. The .most recent and important is the erection of a proscenium and stage fittings, calculated to meet the canveni enoe of performers, and by tasteful decoration' (which, -Howevenf is- riot yet- quite completed) 'add *itd the pleasure of the audience. To-ni ght's cdrtcert^wMcbyAvill include the principal musicrtVtalent of 'the district, is: for, the purpose of supplying a fundii for the above desirable improvements, and to reduce the. debt still remaining on the building. After the concert, dancing will, as usual, take place for a few hours. . . Cambridge Church Bazaab. — It will have been seen by the advertisement which, appeared.in our issue of Saturday last, that the Cambridge Bazaar has been iixed to be held on the 23rd and 24th of the present month. We are requested to give notice that the Ladies' Committee will meet at the Parsonage, to make final arrangements on Friday, the 18th instant. Contributions intended for the Bazaar, should, if possible, be sent to the Parsonage, or, to Colonel Lyon, before that day. What with the longer days, warmer sun, and the efforts cf the local Board, the road from Hamilton to the Railway Station has bsen got into a thorough state of repair, though the open ditches between the roadway and the footpaths m the portion belonging to the Hamilton Highway ■District are, to some extent, objectionable, as being dangerous, especially at night, lhere is a considerable amount of traffic, both of vehicles and foot passengers along this road, for Frankton, ihdependently of tne' railway traffic, has sprung into quite a little hamlet or subburb of Hamilton, and will, doubtless, soon be seeking to be incorporated iiito the borough.! Jijr Harris' convenient and well appointed. Hotel, a short distance from the station yard, is very liberally patronised, and forms quite a feature m the new village. So, also, does the new residence built by Mr Thorpe, for the proprietor, Mr Thus. Jolly. The house is a handsome speciment of the cottage residence class, with stables, coach-house, and complete offices, and built entirely of kauri, and reflects most creditably on the contractor, Mr Ihorp, who, m every detail, has most faithfully carried out the specification of the architect. The building is one of the most thoroughly finished and most substantially built of any we have seen for a . long time, the best material and the best workmanship only having been used. ..It is prettily situated, and the grounds around have been planted m a manner which will render it a pleasiug object m the landscape m a few years. The brick,additionsto Mr J.D. HilTs.house have also, after waiting a long time for bricks, been re-started, -md the workmen are making considerable headway. We hear of two more private residences as likely to be started at an eaoiy date, aud, doubtless, FrankUm will hononie a favorite suburb of Hamilton to those who desire to live outside the town, and yet have the facilities of the omnibuses running past their doors, between Hamilton and the station three times a day. We understand that Mr T. Morrin has purchased. Mr James Dil worth's wellknown entire horse Prince Arthur. Mystery Ceeek^ — Three tenders for the construction of the brick culvert Avere opened by the Hamilton Highway Board on Saturday, and were as follows : — T. Gr. Sandes, £366 ; Kay, £340 ; Steadman, £279. The latter tender was accepted. Land SaTiE, Piako. The report that Mr Studholme had purchased 10,000 acres of land m the fiako for £40,000 is not quite correct. The facts of the case, we believe, are these : Mr Studholme has purchased a half interest, or equal partnership, m Messrs T. & S. Morrin's estate m the Piako far the sum of £38,0U0. Cambridge Magazine Club. — A,meeting of the members of the Cambridge Magazine Club will be he.d on Saturday next, at 3 p.m., to re-organise the Club aud fill up vacancies m the membership. Members are requested to pay their subscriptions into the Bank of New Zealand, at Cambridge, before that date, as the money is required to be transmitted to London by the mail, which leaves on the 14th inst. Hamilton Brid&e : Clerk of Works. — The time for receiving applications for the office of Clerk of Works during the construction of the Hamilton Bridge has been extended until noon of Monday, the 1 4th instant. . . St. Peters' Sunday School. — Tomorrow is the day on which tenders for the erection of the new Sunday Schoolhouse at Hamilton will be received by Mr White. Tenders for four sections of work on the Piako road will be received until noon to-morrow. A meeting of the Katepuyers of the Kirikiriroa Highway District will be held on Saturday, the 19th inst., to elect a trustee m the place of Mr Isaac Coates, resigned. Plans of the four bridges to be erected ' for tho Tamahere Highway Board may ' be seen on and after to-morrow, and further information obtained on application to Mr W. C. Breakell. I Sale ok Farm Stock. —We would draw attention to the important sale of live and dead stock, the property of Mr H. Johnson, to be held ou Thursday next by Messrs Hunter and Nolan at Well and Farm. The cattle are a choice dairy lot ; the furniture is nearly new, and of a superior description. Tne sale, indeed, is one of the most important which has been held m Waikato for some time pasfc. A luncheon will be provided. Tenders for alterations and additions to the Whatawhata Hotel, for Mr J. S. Bernard, are called tor by Mr T. . H. White, architect, and will be received until noon of Monday next. • A select dance will be held m the Victoria Hall, Hamilton, to-morrow evening. Cricket.— The members of the Kirikiriroa and United Cricket Clubs will meet on Thursday evening, at the ltoyal Hotel, Hamilton, to concert measures for the amalgamation of the two clubs. The Hamilton Choral Society hold their first concert to-morrow night, at Le Quesne's Hall. The programme, which appears m our advertising columns, givos promise ef a s?ood evenings entertain- i ment, for it is but reasonable to suppose that now that the society has been some six months m working order, tho glees and other concerted piece will go oft 1 with effect an harmony. Mr Culpan has been indefatigable m his efforts as leader and instructor of the Society, and m his hands tho concert cannot but be well and c. • litably carried out. A verdict of accidental death was returned at the inquest, held by Mr Searaiicke, at Ngaruawahia, on the body of the late Mr (J. Thompson, drowned m iho Waipn,
