We would draw the attention of tlip police to the carelessness displayed by some of the natives at present staying at Cambridge in the matter of leaving lights burning in places wheie there is e\eiy possibility of a fire originating. On Sunday evening a number of gentlemen, on passing a shop tenanted by smuo natives in Dukestieet, observed a candle burning in the middle of the floor. There was nobody about, and the candle having burnt almost to the end, the flame was flickering about in the dry fern and bedding material, and had it ignited, a serious fire might have ensued.

Mr Allwill, of Redwood, Cambridge, announces thai the well-known thoioughbied sire Feve will stand in Waikato this season ; also, the puiebred Clj'desdale Bonnie Prince. As a sire Feve gave eveiy satisfaction last year, Mr Dougliis having secured four foals, Mr W. K. Gaiter tour, Mr Allwill seven, Mr J. R. S. Richardson three and Mr Bond three, together with many other equally satisfactory results. Out of about GO mares last season over 50 threw foals to Feve. As a foal-getter Bonnie Pi ince, notwithstanding his recent arrival in the district, has given satisfaction to all paities.

Our Raglan correspondent writes : —When giving judgment last court-day in the cattle stealing case, the Resident Magistrate took occasion to correct an iir.pvession which Constable Bnlford. stated existed in the minds of several of the settlers ; that because a beast was wild and unbranded they were at liberty to claim it as their own, and shoot it. He would wish to inform those who harboured such an jdea that it was an erroneous and dangerous cop, and if they acted upon it they would rim the rink having to appear in the Supreme Court under a charge of felony.

If they could not prove a beaat to be their own they had no right t«\ touch it, and he would warh both Maoris and Europeans against doing so. Numerous complaints hud, so Mr Bulford said, been made to him by settlers that they were afr.ud advantage had been Uken at times of this opinion, and ho only hoped that what he said would be the means of pi eventing the progress of this foolish idea.

A very interesting football match wis played at Cambiidgc on Satin day last, between the Hamilton West and the Cambiidgc School, and resulted in a victory foi the former by fourteen points to nothing. The points weie secured by E. Jones, C. Vmsini, .T. Made and F. Murray. Home very Rood pl.vy was exhibited on both sides. Tine cheeis were given for Hamilton and thiee for Cambridge by the boys. Owing to the weather the ground was in a very bad Rtnte, but there was a good attendence. On the leturn of the Hamilton t3ara Mrs Gaudin entertained them at tea at the Waik.ito Hotel, to which full justice was, done. Before hopaiating three cheera were given for Mrs Gaudin, whose kindness will long bo remembered by the juvenile footballers. This makos the third win for the season. The return match will be played on Sydney Square.
