ENTRE NOUS.

— There wan a very large attendance at the Harvest Festival Services afc'S. Peter's on Sunday.

— And the church was very nicely decorated with fruit, &c.

— I noticed that a large portion of the congregation appeared in a fog as regards the closing of Evensong

— It was not till the parson left the Chancel that the congregation felt confident they were to make their exit.

— I must admit I like the Benediction to be the ftnale.

— Mick Gallagher looked immense at the Ohaupo R»ices in his brand -new Auckland suit— ready-made.

— The fit was immense.

— I noticed Captain H and the Y. B. doing the block within the Grand Stand enclosure.

— And I noticed field-glasses much used by the ladies in the Stand.

— The waltzing- marker looked an yr&B to be expected at the late races.

— Quite afc home waiting at the table.

— And his black beaver (one of Fenton's best) suited him all to a T.

— The Queen Bee declined to patronise the Waikato Turf Club's Summer Meeting.

— Nevertheless, the Committee imagine that the racing wus as good as ever.

— I should like to make the acquaintance of the piouß gentleman who went on a trip to the Waikato Heads. I think I know him ; but have seen him oftener at whiskey than at prayers.

— The youthful and killing T looked well in his shandery-dan at the races. I should recommend a policy in the Accident Insurance Company or a pair of new wheels.

— Our Anglo-Indian friend, of Col-lingwood-streec, on his thoroughbred "Jack," looked immense at the races. He came home with a bevy of fair ones.

— John D can testify that Ben can drive from the shoulder, if anything, better than from the box of his coaches.

The Waipa County Council offer, on and after the Ist day of March, the sum of £1 for every conviction under the DogRegistration Act.

— This is a chance for the unemployed.

— ' I waß, in common with many others, pleased to observe that Mr T had acted on ray suggestion, and < hanged aides in S. Peter's choir on Sunday.

— Tho effect was pleasantly manifest.

— Talk about ecclesiastical order. This is good enough.

— The Bishop of Auckland telegraphed to the littlo Parson, from Wellington: " Best congratulations to all three. Threaten all visitors with excommunication."

— And— will you believe it?— the telegram is pasted on the front door of S. Peter's Parsonage !

— The races on 1 hursday and Friday were passably good.

— But, taken as a means for providing amusement, they failed to accomplish their purpose.

— The best event was undoubtedly the Consolation' Handicap, between Lone Hand, Ratcatcher, and Mr Storey's bay— the latter being jockeyed by his owner, who, after starting the other two on the square, " went in" himself.

— And the best of the joke is, that he went very near winning the race.

— But the weight was too much, and the unfortunate animal caved-in after the first half-mile.

— The Grand Hand was but poorly patronised by the ladies of Waikato.

— And, in consequence, an elegant little Tarn o'Shanter stood out conspicuously amongst the half score of nondescript head coverings.

— Host Pearce hit the proprietor of th 3 " Bird Sweep " heavy on the racocourse.

— It'B just like his luck.

— By-the-bye I was asked if the host of the Commercial ever had the " globes " on.

— I can't Pay. However I think it be as wellfco keep out of his reach.

— Training is good for man and beast, but when an animal is brought out like Moonstone was for the Derby, how about Martin's Bill ?

— His owner ought to go round the course at the same pace with the same weight on a similarly hot day.

— Poor Feve ! I hear he nearly fainted ■when told of his eon's condition.

— And Feve's owner went near attempting to drown his sorrows.

—-Uncle John ia about "flittin" to Cambridge.

— To " nettle doyen " in the old plaoe.

— Just 80.

— It's a pity there is not a Free Library in Hamilton, where the papers could be read gratis.

— A lady in Collingwood-streefc borrow* the Wahato Times everj morning it is published. ~ '"

— Perhaps the individual would like to, be placed on the free list.
