We have been compelled to hold over several letters from correspondents this issue. A fancy bazaar, in aid of St. Mary's School, will be held on Boxing Day, in the Oddfellows' Hall, Hamilton. The boar pig which we referred to in a late issue as being at large in Hamilton has not yet been captured, and complaints as te his depredations are becoming numerous. The Hamilton Borough sale yards got pretty well knocked about by tho bulls on Thursday. Some of tho gentlemen thought nothing of walking through the gates and lifting the caps of the rails was splendid fun for them. The Freezing Company having space for the shipment of one thousand sheep or lambs, about the 15th January next, intending shippers may register the numbers tliey intend forwarding with the 1 Secretary of either branch of the Waikato Farmers Club. The news of Mr Bryce's election was received in Cambridge on Thursday afternoon, and gave great gratificatiiin. Great disgust was expressed when it was announced that lie was to bo opposed. Most people thought it was done out of pure "cussedness," as no-one would have stood any show against him. Old Mac, the successful tenderer for tho mail service between Hamilton and Cambridge, has mado a start in providing suitable plant for the road. Yesterday and the day previous ho was to be seen passing to and fro in Victoria street Hamilton, seated in a brand-new waggonette built to his order by Mr Meachem. Passengers to Cambridge will find this a very comfortable conveyance to travel in. In the C«unty Councils of Piako, Waipa and Waikato the old chairman in each instance has been re-elected. All of these gentlemen have held their respective positions for some years and we think the Councils acted wisely ill again choosing thorn as chaiunen. Few men are better up in local government than Messrs Chepmell, Lang and Primrose, and few men would devote so much of their time to public business as these gentlemen do. At the meeting of the committee of the South Auckland Racing Club hold on Thursday evening, it was rosolvod to give tho necessary guarantee for special train services from Auckland, Te Awamutu, Cambridge and To Aroha. A largo concourse of people is expected in view of the exceptionally good entries the Club has this meeting been favoured with by horse owners, not only as regaids numbers, but in the superior class of racehorses entered. The Piako County Council, as at present constituted, held its first meeting at Cambridge, on Saturday, and celebrated the occasion by establishing a record. A motion was made and duly seconded, after which a lengthy discussion on the matter took place. Several amendments were proposed and withdrawn, but at last one was tabled that fitted the case, and on its being put to the meeting it was carried unanimously.
The Trinity Presbyterian Sun-day-scholars of Cambridge having beon so very successful in obtaining certificates at tho Industrial Kxhibition at Auckland, has created such a flutter amongst the juveniles attending the Cambridge Sunday schools that tho Church authorities intend exhibiting the articles when they have been returned. A children's entertainment will be given in Trinity Church on Tuesday evening at 7.30 p.m., when the articles above referred to will be on view.
In the report of the meeting of the Cambridge branch of the Waikato Farmer's Club, appearing in this issue, reference is made to the letter written to the Government by the Hamilton branch re securing limestone land in the King Country. The secretary of the Hamilton branch wrote to the Native Minister, not to the Minister for lands. This will probably account for the reply from the latter Department, thit no such application had been received, and which naturally appeared so unaccountable to the meeting.
A number of settlers in the Whatawhata district, who were attending the sale at Hamilton on Thursday, met Mr Bryce and suggested his deferring his visit to Whatawhata, at which place he was to have addressed them that night. These gentlemen pointed out that as there was every probability of n wet night hefore theiri, and as many of them would not reach homo till late, it would suit them better if the meeting were postponed. In another part of this issue Mr Bryce has a notification expressing his regret that lie had not an opportunity of addreesing the settlers of Raglan and other centres before tho election. lie will, however, return in March for the purpose of making np for the omission, and if so desired, lie will give pre-sessional addresses.
