We are so pressed for space this i-;s\ie that a quantity of matter, together with our leading article on the Star's objections to Mr Bryce's candidature, are unavoidably held over.

The newly-created Musical Society at Te Awanmtii, will give their first performance in the Public Hall, on Bth November. The society promises to bo a tremenduous success. At the Hamilton Police Court on Thursday, W. White was sentenced to six months' hard labour for larceny as a bailee in selling a horse obtained from Mr Windsor. Messrs Seddon and Knox wero tho justices. An inquest was held at Ngaruawaliw yesterday as to tho cause of the death of William liitley at Huntly. A verdict of "Accidental Death" was returned, with a rider censuring Dr. Murch fi,r not attending to the injured man. The Diocesan Synod has definitely fixed the boundary of the Hamilton parochial district, to include Hamilton, Whatawliata and Tauwhare. T.imahere is attached to Cambridge, and Ngaruawahia to the vi.-iting clergyman of the Homo Mission. We hear very good accounts of tins stock got by Billingsgate, when he was in Waikuto the year before last. Some of the youngsters are very promising, and will be heard of in the course of a year or two, or many of our local judges of horseflesh will be much mistaken. We invite those who may be visiting Cambridge to-day, to inspect Mr R. Diivie*' stock of siddlery, &c. He has his window dressed in a Hrstclas3 stylo with goods that he has just opened up. Mr Davios' work is well known throughout Waikato, and like all Rood things " recommends itself." During the discussion with reference to tho gravel at the Hospital Board on Thursday, Mr Brunskill said he hopod that if the Council were taking tho Board's gravel, they would use it on their road*, as they were in a shameful condition, in fact, worse than the road through the " Seventymile Bush (?)." The dance given by the bachelors of Cambridge in tho Public Hall on Thursday evening was a most unqualified success, about fifty couples being present. The waltzing competition was won by Miss McKcriion and Mr J. Uavitt, who were loudly cheered for the manner in which they performed the dance. Six couples competed. We would direct attention to the Rev. C. H. Garland's lecture on " Character, 1, to be delivered in the Wesleyan Church on Monday evening next. The lecture, when deliverer] in Auckland and at Cambridge, secured capital audiencse. It is of an interesting and popular character, and the proceeds are to bo devoted to the Hamilton Boy's Welcome. The Hamilton Light Infantry will μ-irado at mi early hour on Wednesday i morning, in full marching order, to proceed I to Auckland by <--pe=i il train, for inspection by General Ed'warda. We trust there will be a full muster of the Corps, so that they I may mako a good display and mr.intain I their reputation for being ona of tho smartest companies in the colony. There will bo no parade on Tuesday evening next. The Cambridge Library has been closed for a few days, while the new books, 150 in number, havo been added, and the catalogue made afresh. This is now done, and business has commenced again. We trust the new books will cause an influx of new subscribers, as tho loss of the. Government subsidy is severely felt. The library is one of tho best in thn province, and should be encouraged by all who have any interest in the township. The Hamilton creamery started yesterday morning with "»00 gallons of milk. The machinery has been fitted up in firstrate order by Mr W. Reid, engine-fitter and mill-wiight. There are two improved separators running 7000 revolutions a minute and putting through 300 gallons of milk an hour. In a few weeks Mr Reynolds expects to receive 1000 gallons daily. At each factory the butter will bo made and forwarded in bulk to Hamilton, being the most central place, and tlinu it will bo tinned and packer) for export. The Wlintawhata factory is the most perfect in Waikato ; being erected on the edgo of a gully with a sufficient fall to arrange the buildine so that the milk is delivered into tho receiving-vat, runs through the separator and the skim milk passes outside.
