Tuesday is the day advertised foi the sale of the privileges of the Cam bridge Jockey Club Autumn Meeting, and not to-day, as stated in our issue oi Thursday. Messrs Clark and Gane an the auctioned s. The Cambridge Road Board have taken prompt measures to repair the damages caused by the Lite rains.

The following entries received by Mr Percival have sincccome to hand : — Minnie for Cup and Publicans' Puise ; Rakau for Hurdles on the first day, and Hurdles and Hteeplechase on the second day. The interior of the Cambridge Public Hall after the depaituro of Taubiao and iolloweis, ycaterday, presented a most curious, though certainly not pleasant appearance. The seats of the hall bad been converted to many purposes never intended by the makers, and the floor was picturesquely strewn witli mussel shells, potatoes, and flax kits. A concert in connection witih the Band of Hope, Presbyterian Church, Hamilton, will be held in the Oddfellow's Hall on Tuesday evening next. The progiaminc is \aned and good, nncl includes the , names of some of the best amateuis in Hamilton. Addresses will also be delivered by ministers and others.

The Auckland .diamond seekers, have not yet given up all hopeot success.. We learn from yesterdaj r 's ller,ald that on Tluusilay afternoon Mr Y. H.

The place to be, examined by Mr Bursle-n, is not the, same as that visited by Messrs Courtney and Douglas. , ,
A movement to close all houses of business in Cambridge at six o'clock in the evening during the winter months is now under-way. The principal business men of the town have concurred in the movement, and others, we believe, will follow their example and do likewise. This is a step in the right direction, and one .which will give great satisfaction to c employe's. , .The uew arrangement is not likely to come into force until the beginning of next month.,
An extremely instructive thing | has (says Vanity Fair ) becomes pretty generally known. A clerk in a Government office wrote an anonymous letter to the Standard, making certain complaints., A' t high official, from the office called ,on the editor of the Standard •. and gently required to know the writer of the letter. The editor sent down for^ two-full-grown' compositor*, and the high official was conveyed from the premises hi a most' undignified manner. This is the most useful political proceeding for which !we have lately had to thank the Standard, i
