Cambridge is to the fore with a fancy dress rink carnival and ball that will be held in the Public Hail un Thursday, Sej)teinber 24th. The Hon. John Bryce having declined to stand fur tho vacant Waikato neat a requisition to Mr E. Lakei.sin course of signature throughout the Dirtrict. Messrs H. M. Salmon, B. F. Sarnies and C. Tlppin, the successful catidinates at the borough election on Thursday, return thanks to tho bur(?e3ses for returning them. Another event, tho Flying Stiikes of Ji'2s, has bneu added to the programme of the Waikato Hunt Club's races, to take place at Olaudelands on Saturday, October 3rd. Captain Edwin predicts very •toriny weather, with heavy gale and rain from north, changing by west and southwost, between midnight ol 11th and midnight of 13th, with very low barometer. The new sale yards at Ngarua wahin were opened yesterday, when Mr W. J. Hunter held a vory successful sale. There was a full attendance of buyers, and a large muster of stock was yarded, for which good prices were obtained, especially for young cattle. The Farmers' Club will meet at Cambridge on Monday evnning, when Mr Henry Reynolds will be present, so those who wish to learn his views about disposing of New Zealand produce in England cannot do better than attend the meeting and have a " korero " with him. An extraordinary general meeting of the Waikato Dairy Company (Limited) was held in their offices on Thursday afternoon. The business before the meeting was to consider a motion proposing to wind up the company. This was passed, and Mr A, Swarbrick was appointed liquidator. A telegram from the Bluff last night informs us that at a meeting of the Trades Council a resolution was carried chat in the interest of Trades Unions it is advisable to publish a Liberal newspaper in each of the four centres in the colony and a committee was appointed to ascertain what measure of support its proposal is likely to receive from the various Unions.

In the interm sheep return, lately received, we find the greatest increase during the year ending April 30th, 1891, occurs in the Wellington district, where it has reached 372,470; the Auckland district comes next with an increase of 118,577. iho total increase in the North Island stands at 570,174, whilst the increase in the South Island is but Gfi,4oo. The Canterbury district is the only ono showing a decrease, which is set down at 34,735. There is an old adage which says:—"lt takes nine tailors to make a man." But Mr O. J. Philips, of the New Zealand Tweed Company, 170 Queen-street, Auckland, gops one better than that, for he can make even a hunchback a perfect manlier—quite a Beau Brummell in fact, as the result of his skill and deftness as a cutter and fitter. His materials and charges arc all that could be desired in the matter of excollonco and cheapness. We direct attention to his advertisement referring to hi-i business generally and of that portion referring to his having opened his Spring goods particularly. Wβ can confidently recommend him aH a courteous business man and a capito il tradesman assisted by a numerous and highly qualified staff. In our advertisement columns appears a notico of a Bazaar which the Wesleyans of Cambridge have arranged to hold on Friday and Saturday in next week, at tho time of the horae parade and subsequont sale. Wo understand that preparations have been going on for several months past, and from previous exporienceof the energy of the CumbridKO Wesleyuus and of the sue-

ces-s of their efforts in similar directions, we are warranted in expecting that all who may attend the Bazaar will find their respective tastes fully met and sutialied. In addition io refreshments and afternoon tea in the bazaar itself, we notice that the committee is wisely catering for the needs of the visitors to the town by providing an excellent and economical luncheon and meat tea at specified hours on each day. This will no doubt meet with wide npprocifttion.
