Wk have been asked to draw the attention of milk suppliers in the Cambridge district to the fact that the cheese factory is now ready to commence operations for the season, and the manager would be glad to receive the necessary supply immediately. In fact the manager has been waiting for some time past to commence operations, but owing to the indifference of suppliers he has been unable to do so. As the minimum supply has been fixed at 150 gallons, a very reasonable limit certainly, se\eial suppliers who h.ive been ready for some time have been greatly inconvenienced through not being able to dispose of their milk. The dilliculty, to all appearances is this, that some of the suppliers have been doing very well out of their butter, and so long as it pays them to make butter and they can get about a shilling a pound for all they can produce, they are quite indifferent as to the factory and the consequent. loss to the unfortunate shareholders. This is a very one-sided view to take, and unless suppliers co-operate with the directors and w ith each other in promotingthe interest of the factory, they will soon find themselves deprived of an industry which has already done much for them and from which much more may be expected. The position is simply this, the factory has been erected at very considerable cost to both the business and farmingpublic, who, though they may not look for anything like a direct return for their outlay, ccitainly do not want to see the money they In ye invested ruthlessly wasted, and without doing any good to the district. The success of the undertaking lies entirely with the fartm I>, and if they continue indifferent diid -supply milk only when and to what extent it ple.ises themselves, then they aio responsible for failure, if such a thing should happen. The people who complain most at the end of the year, when the directors announce a loss, are the very people who are responsible for the loss ; but instead of looking at it in this light all they think of is how they can abuse the directors for what they are pleased to term palpable mismanagement. How can a body of directors he expected to show successful results, or make arrangements to ensure success when they are thwarted in every attempt and deprived of the means wherewith to carry on ? If the farmers therefore wish to see the factory a success they must he leas indifferent, less selfish, and see that* nothing is wanting on their part to place the cheese-making industry on a satisfactory footing.

As a result of their recent entertainment, the Cambridge Druu.itio Snooty hnvo h.atidpd to thp Cambridge T<mti Honrd tlie «urn of t#l2t # 12 towtirdi tho Public gall |tenovjition Fund.

The usual sitting of the Hamilton Legislative Association will tike this c\ cuing, when, tho debate on the Financial Statement will be resumed. At the Supreme Court, Auck1 md, on Saturday, J. H. Wakeham, for niiiick-tou-ly assaulting bis wife, was sentenced to two yeart' jnipn.soninent with haul labour. The quantity of milk received at the W.uk.ito Chci'x 1 F.ictoiv \<>steiday was 4;>o gallons. Tin- butter made dining the fiist thiee da\s <«f th- si.a-.oii was of q »>d nuility, .md lias been satisfactory disposed of in Auckland. The manager of the Cambridge Cluv-c Factoiv is still waiting for the nt'co-.s.iry supply of milk w In row ith to com inence opriations. Only 1 ~»0 gallon-, aie n» ([\ined to make a ht-ii t. Suppliers •hould at once scud in their names and probable amount of supply. Mr T. G- Sandes addressed a well attended meeting of settlers and others at To Vioha on Fnday night, on the subject of tlie moat slaughtering business for W.ukato. The meehng was a great success, and Mr Sandes got ten new shareholders for the Co-operative Association. His Worship the Mayor of Hamil ton, through our ad\ei Using columns, piocl.ums Wednesday tlin maiket day for Hamilton. The need f»r such a day has been felt, and the borough authorities are in communication with the railway depart nient with a new to getting cheap fares on tho day named. A meeting of the shareholders of thr- Pnoiigia Miiiei.il Association is called f.n the 3rd November, at Alexandra, for the puipose of taking steps to increase the capital, to .sanction the action of the dnect<>is m forming the Association into a joint stock company, to elect directois, and foi ! othei oidm.uy business. The Piako County Council holds its usual monthly meeting at Cambridge on Thin sd.iy. Among the business <et down foi hearing is the election of a incmbei of the Ho-pital and Charitable Aids Board, Thames District. It is expected that the tiamway letuins foi the month will come well up to those of the previous month, showing ft smphis on tho cost of woiking. The steeplechase horse Bric-a-Brie has chrnged hinds, having been pur chased by Mr Muiiro, of Cambridge, in whose name he is entered for the pnncipal event-, of the forthcoming Hunt Club meeting It is quite possible, however, owing to his accident when out with the hounds on Friday last, that he will not start next Saturday. The annual meeting of the Hamilton Cricket Club was held on Satur thy night. The accounts for the last jeai were p.issed, showing a debit balance of 3s 4d The officers elected were : Present, Mi J. B. Whyte, M.H.R. ; Yicc-Presi dent-, Mi K. Lake, M.H.R, and the Mayor or Hamilton ; committee, Messrs F. Foriest, P. E. Stevens, .1. Edgecumbe, T. Kirk and T. (Jonuolly ; secretary and trcasiuer, Mr.T. Veiekei Bindon. It is likely that steps will be taken at an early date by the Cambridge Jockey Cl".b to secure a new course on Mr Allw ill's property near the H.iutapu ml way station. This step has been under consideration for home tune, and now that Mi Cartel has bought the present course it is not likely to be used for racing purposes after the existing anangeinents expue, A company will in all probability be floated to take ovei the new couisc which will have the guMt advantage of being on the line of railway. A little boy, two years of age, a son of Mr T. (!. Sandes, of Hamilton, w<is neverely bitten m the f.ice by u pointer dog on Sunday afternoon. The child meiely put its hand on the dog when the animal turned round and attacked it in tho most ba\ago tiuinnei, and but for the interposition of Mi Sandes the little fellow would undoubtedly have been killed. The wounds were dressed by Mr R. 1\ Sandes, and the little patient is now getting on well. The dog, which was a veiy valuable one, was subsequently shot, with the heaity concurrence of the owner. The Pakuranga hounds met on Mr J. S. Buckland's pioperty near the racecourse on Saturday afternoon, when these was a good attendance of hor.semen. A drag had been laid off, staitingon Mr Buckland's property, and leading over the racecourse property back to Mr Buckland's. As there were some very good horses out, the run was a great siicccm, and the jumping was remarkably good. Mr (Joodmanled throughout, and came in tiist. Amongst tho otheis who got round successfully was Messis J. S. Buckland, Pickering and Rhodes. A meet lunch was prov ided by Mi Buckland at his residence. James McCornish was brought up at the Police Court, Cambridge, yesterday morning, on a charge of drunkones*. Constable Brennan stated to tho court that accused was perpetually dunking his earnings, and when drunk was a nuisance, and as ht had a family he asked that a prohibition order be issued against him. Accused was fined "is and costs, and an order was issued prohibiting his liquor for twelve months. Accused on being liber ated made good use of his tune by hurrying up to une of the hotels and obtaining a judicious supply before the constable had tune to post him. It is expected that Mr Rich, of the Thames V r alley Land Company, willarnve in Waikat 1 ) to morrow, and will proceed to Lichfield, when, he will succeed Mr Hal combe in the in magpment of the company's riropcity, and the piomotirm of settlement in that truly promising district. We have every reason to belli ye that in the course of afewyeais the Pateteie lands, from one end of the block to the other, will be undei cultivation, cinying an abundanro of stock, and well studded with thrivinghomosteads. Several contracts have recently been let foi ploughing, fencing, itc, and a large quantity of woik is now being earned out. The newbranch tramway, connecting Feiguson's battery with the main tramway at Te Aroha, is likely to be the subject of some difference before long. The contiactnD,, Messis Gallagher .md McCabe, have thrown up their lenpective contracts on the giound that tho tiamway is not being made in the right place, and consequently cannot stand. It is maintained that the tiamway should have been made down the middle of the spur instead of the hide, and tliercfoie that the money now being spi nt is being thrown away. If this be true, it may be expected that the bianch tinmway, about which so much has been said and written, will co«t more to construct than was oiigmally expected. The following special messages to tho Press Association, dated London, October 11th, have been published -.—The crisis in Turkey is causing acute excitement, resultant upon the Poweis being so divided in opinion regarding the settlement of tho Rouinehan dilhculty. —hi a speech at Blackburn, Lord Derby expre<sed doubt"! whether the colonies would strongly caie for closer relations with England than those at present existing.— Wheat is dearer. Ex- warehouse is 375. Three ofT-w.wt caigoes have been told, the latest of them being disposed of at 3T» (>d. Holders of shipment* are asking 3(!s. New crop shipments of December and January are quoted at :Ws. The improvements to the Cambridge Public Hall have been completed. The interior of the building now prosrnts a very pleasant appearance, and is picturesque in the extreme. The medallions include a number of local and distnct scench, amongst others Rally's flour mill on thp bank of the Waikato river, LakeTe Ivoutu, Ateainmi, the Pink Terraced, tho Crow's Nest, Oysei Taupo, scene at To Arolm, Wmtakerci falli, the bridge, at Ngaruavvfthi*. and Dover Cliffs. The coiling and walN hay« alno been becomingly painted. The hall in now ono of the prettiest in the North Mind. Mr Brtgqr* is entitled to great credit for the highly satisfactory manner in which he has carried out Ins contract. A labouring man, named Zaccheus Sleeman, died very nnddenly at Bach's Royal Hotel, Hamilton East, yesterday morning. Tho deceased, who waH about 45 years of age, mid well known in the locality, had long suffered from apoplexy, and yesterday morning ho had a couple of tits in quick succession, the second, from which he never recovered, taking place about half-past eight. Medical aid was summoned, and Dr. Bealo wan prnmptlv in attendance, but thero was nothing for him to do but to pronounco life to bo extinct. RJeeman had been working out at the Pinko, on Mr Jenkins 1 farm, and only cattig into Hamilton on Saturday. Ho was without meann, and so far as is known had i no relatives in the colony. An inquest wis held yesterday after noon before Mr Searancke, coroner, and a jury of .six, of whom Mr Connolly was chosen foreman. A verdict of death from natural causes w«h j returned.

The imported pure-bred Ayrshire bull "Kir Count," by "Ctmut," which Ins been the property «f Mr Caltler, of What iwhata, for the last three years, paused through Hamilton yesterday on his way to Kfti(?hton, having been purchased t>y Mr S. T. Seddon, with .1 view to thn improve ment of his dairy stock. Mr Heddon purchased several pint; Ayrshire cows .it Mr Pollock's salt 1 at Alexandra, recently, .nid ho h.ts now, bv the purchase of "Sn Count," laid tho foundation of a use fill and \.ilu.il>l»» dairy herd. Wo have repeatedly ur^ed the necessity for iinprov mjf the bleed of stock intended for butter and chee-,0 pioducinß purpose", pointing (Hit th.it it U oiih by tliis ineaii-. that the industry ctn bo expected t<> prove reiuiiiier.itne. We li >pc other milk suppliers will follow the good «-\ mipli' set by Mr Srddon. If the\ do we shall cease to hear coinplunts aliont our factories bcniff unrcmuner.itne. "Sir Count" is one of the be>t bulls of his l)i ced in the colony, a fact amply attested by the quality of the stock reued on Mi Calder's farm during the pabt two years.
