The train arrangements in connection witli the South Auckland Racing Club's Meeting on Saturday next, are published in this issue. We regret to learn there is a case of typhoid fever in Cambridge. This, like tho Into Maori case, has been imported, hut every precaution has been taken to prevent the disease spreading. We yesterday received a communication from Auckland notifying us that the committee had decided to postpone tho presentation of the testimonial to Miss Arnaboldi till the middle of April. The census takers are round again, Constable Kavannah being busy last Friday collecting the agricultural statistics in the Newcastle district, and leaving the census papers to be tilled up on the sth of April. The following volunteer officers had the honour of dining with His Excellency the K?.rl of Onslow at Government House on Saturday evening—viz., Colonel Shepherd, Major Harris, Major Goring, Captain Miller, Lieutenants Grcsham, Haultain, and Parker. Mrs John Arnold, of Cambridge, met with a nasty accident yesterday morning. She rose about 5 a.m. and went to open the outside door, when she unfortunately fell into the cellar, through a trap door tint had been left open. No bones are broken but Mrs Arnold is considerably bruised. Notices in Post Offices cannot be be too explicit. Owing to the detective wording of a notice re tho Easter holiday mail arrangements, one of our currespondents had yesterday to pay IDs to have his matter conveyed to Hamilton, whereas, if tiie notice had contained the information it tihould have done, a penny stamp would have been the sole expense. The entire plant and leases of the To Arolia Silver and Gildmining Company's property at Waiorougomai are advertised for sale in the Auckland pipers by order of Lhe mortgagees. The sale will take place on Monday next. It was generally supposed that this pronerty had changed hands some time ago, and tint Mr M. H. Adams had secured the same for £3500The bathing season at tha Hamilton Public Baths closes to d ly, and we arc afraid that the caretaker has not had a very prolitable one. The weather up to tho last week or <hj has been very unseasonable, and there was a small percentage of bathers as Compared with previous seasons. Mr ITintou is tu be congratulated on the excellent state in which lie has kept the baths, and during the season there has not been a single accident, a laet which of itseit" testilies to his carefulness. The Hon. John Bryee, Member for Waikato, arrived in Hamilton by train yesterday. On this occasion his time will be principally taken up in paving visits to his friends and constituents at Raglan, Paterangi, and various other centres which he was unable to reach in the time at his disposal before the last election. In all probability he will leave for Raglan on Wednesdiy, so that his friends in that locality may be on the look out for him about that date. Captain Jackson Barry, through some misunderstanding about the Hamilton Public Hall, will not deliver his famous lecture in Hamilton until Friday, when His Worship tho Mayor (Isaac Coatcs, Esq.), will take the chair. Captain Harry's lirst lecture in Waikato will Ins delivered at the Cambridge Public Hall on Thursday next, A. Clements, I-:-,,., presiding. The prices of admission have been made low in order that everyone may have an opportunity of hearing this famous travoller before he retires from the platform, which lie purposes doing on the completion of his Waikato tour. In another column will be found an advertisement announcing that a sale of work and an entertainment consisting of songs, tableaux and other forms of amusement will bo held in the Public Hall, Hamilton, on Monday the '25th May (Queen's Birthday). The object of tho entertainment is to provide funds for repairing St. Peter's Parsonage, of which the older pari is in considerable need. The work for the salo has been promised by the young ladies and " bees" will be held now w'eckly. From entertainments which liavo hitherto beeu provided by this body we eau guarantee that nothing will be vrautiug in this department.
