The Waikato hounds meet at Hamilton ut 11 a.m. to-day. The Board of Reviewers for the County of Piako will sit at Cambridge at 10 a.m. today. The Tauwhare school was reopened yesterday by Miss Biggs, no doubt to tlio extreme gratification of parents living in that district. We would draw the attention of our re iders to Mr T. Wells', of the Cambridge Co-op., advertisement in this issuo. In tho drapery department, Mr Wells is offering special job lines at about half the usual prices. Bishop Cowie will hold confirmation service in St. Saviour's Church, Alexandra, on Sunday, June sth, afc 11 a.m. Candidates for confirmation will attend class meeting on Saturday, 4th, at 7.30 p.m. in the church. From the Ohinemuri Gazette we learn that it is likely that a football match will shortly ba arranged between a team representing; that district and the Hamilton Club, which has been the premier club in this district for the past three seasons. There was a full attendance at the meeting nf the Hospital Board yesterday, the very lmportmt questions of the appointment of a resident medical officer and the treatment of out-patients coining up for consideration. A tull report of the meeting will be found in another column. The farmer of Pahiatua who has harvested a hundred tons of potatoes this season is A.v George Avery, who is well kn:iwn in the Wairarapa. The hundred tons were taken from six acres of land. A better demonstration of the fertility of the soil in the Forty-Mile Bush could not be desired. A local appeared in our last issue that the poultry show would be held in Auckland on the ICtli, 17th, and 18th inst. This is a mistake, as the dutes fixed for the show are the 14th, 15th, and llich July, and we have been requested to call the attention of intending exhioitirs to this alteration. It is expected that the show will be a most successful ono. On Tuesday afternoon the pupils attending the Hamilton K i.-t public school presented Mies Biggs, on the occasion of her be.ing transferred t> the Taiuvharo school, with a gold bracelet and juwel case. The presentation was made by Misses K. Coates and F. Steadman, and the address was read by Miss Mason. Miss Riggs acknowledged the present in suitable terms. At S. John's Church, Te Awamutu, to-morrow evening, the 3rd June, at 7 p.m. the Rev. John Haselden will hold a confirmation class. On Sunday next, the sth June, at 7 p.m., His Lordship Bisohii Cowih (assisted by the Ryv, John Haselden) will conduct divine service. Hi.< Lirdiihii) will then confirm thoso candidates who are eligible for confirmation, Mr J l . W. Lang's motion with, reference to the treatment of out-patients at the Waikalo District Hospital w;is brought forward yesterday, a>id, after considiMa'»l« discussion, lost by a majority of 7 to 5. This question excited considerable attention in Hamilton for the pa«t four weeks, and a petition signed by 11 ratepayers, mostly residents in Hamilton, was presented in support of it, but without avail. The number of admissions to the Waikato Distiiet Hospital during the past month—nineteen—is the largest since the establishment of that institution. Affer tho appointment of Hie additional probationer nurses, the staff were put on to eight hour shifts-an alteration that was grdiitly appreciated by the nurses. Owing, however, to the re-opening of the fever ward on Friday last, two nurses have been in charge uf this department, and the staff has to go back to the twelve hour arrangements. The quarterly meeting of the Raglan County Council iviw held at Raglan on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday last. Mr S mierset, who has liuld the office of clerk since the establishment of the Council, tendered his resignation as from September next, it being necessary for him to leave for England at that time in reference to matters in connection with tlm deasli of some of his near relatives, which took place lately. A full report of the meeting will appear in our next issue. The Cambridge Salvationists held tht-ir anniversary tea meeting on Tuesday, and tlix iitt-iiid iuce was L'oud. Some of the army big guns were present in the persons of Colonel Bailny, Stxff-C-ipt. Edwards, nnd Ensign Jackson. The C"linel touched upon tho General's social .scheme, and appeared to think that the v.inous reports that have appeared in tlio col inial press of l,it", re the acquiring »t land frmi thf> Maori* w«re canards. Hβ .mid when i lie Geuei'il sent a party of the "submerged tenth" nnr. to NVw Zealand the whole business would b>! curied out in tiivt-class style, thut the colonials could depond upon. The natives assembled at Mangakiiwa are in a groat state re Tawhiao'n pension, and since his return from meeting Mr Cadman in Auckland he lias been fairly mobbed by his followers with questions on the matter, and numerous telegrams from chiefs in the South have been received by Tawlmro demanding to know if Tawhino had accepted :i pension. A largely attended meeting of Ringatiris w-is held ami Tdwhiao was questioned. Heoinnhaticallv de.niwl having received any portion or of having arranged to accept a pension. The natives now are anxious to know the exact position re his reputed pension. If the j Ivine has accepted it, they will jnced-) frmn fojlowif;* Ijiiri and will doubtless loasa and soil their fiimls, ' '

A Brisbane (Q,.) parson was i-e----cntly presenifd with a valedictory " purse of sovereigns " liy n congregation, nf whom i.ver 200 turned up to tlm ceremony. Tim " purse " contained rx.ietly £5. The adjourned meeting of heads of familifK and ..thers was held in Tiik Waikato Timkh B'lildinga 1-st night. Tlii'M wasagood attendance, MrL. Ciisicn hintiy in thu chair. A du.iiilt'»ry discussion t.iuk place ns t'i oht lining the services t,f a iiinrrieri uiatyis iruitiy tinnight that although Dr. Brewis, who is starting practice, i< a H'fll q mil i find in.-in, fin if tio youus;, ;uid they would prefer a married man. It was pointed out thiit thfl first defect was been ri-iiu-iliod every day, and no doubt Dr. Brnwis himself would see to tho other. In the end, a motion, propound hy .Mr 0. Barton, that the meeting adjourn sine die was carried, and tho meeting broke up after passing a vote of thanks to the chairman. The following massage was re ciived from Pohepohe Kingi, tho contractor for carrying tho mails ti Raglan, by Mr Logie, postmaster at Hamilton, yesterday : " Main road to Raglan is fenced up by Mr Bruce ; passbngers cannot paps. What am Ito do going to Raglan to-morrow ? " No doubt this is the piece nf road to which the following resolution was paired at the meeting of the Raglan County Council list week, that Mr Bruce be informed that the Council have received a letter from the Survey Department, and that they offer him £40 for the lot* taken. We understand that this road Dear the lime kiln runs through Mr Bmcm's property, and although it ha* been surveyed for the purpose of dedication, the proper stops have never been takeu. Mr Bruce's action, no doubt, is taken to bring matters to a completion. At St. Peter's Church, Hamilton, at 11 a.m. to-day, Mr W. N. von Stunner, eldest son of Mr F. J. von Sturmer, of Hamilton, is to be united in the bonds of to Miss C. 0. Searancke, the third daughter of Mr VV. N. Searancko, of Claudelands. The ceremony will be performed by the incumbent, the Rev. R. O'C. Biggs. Mr von Stunner has been in the Bank of New Zealand at Hamilton for some year 3, and is well-known and liked throughout the district. Hβ has always taken an active interest in athletic matters— formerly in all branches, but latterly chiefly in tennis and cricket —last season being captain of the Hamilton Cricket Club, and champion of tho Hamilton Lawn Tennis Club for a numher of years. In the afte-r----noon the young couple will leave for Tβ Aroha, en route for Auckland. We wish them every happiness. Dr. Kenny having received the appointment ae resident medical officer to the Waikato Hospital and his private practice being stopped, an opening fora medical practitioner was caused in Hamilton, The vacancy has not remained long as Dr. Brewis, M.D., has decided to commence practice 'n Hamilton, and may now he consulted at all times at) Mrs Gwynne's cottage. Although Dr, Brewis is a comparatively young man he is one more than usually qualified, and the residents should feel pleased at securing his services, as medical men with his qualifications are not to be got every day. Dr. Brewis was a student at St. Thomas Hospital, London, and graduated at Durham University with honours in 1886. He then went over to Germany where for some time he rnadn a special study of surgery, Subsequently Dr. Brewis was Resident Medical Officer at n lunatic asyl'im for a year and House Surgeon at the Newcastle Infirmary, Monkwearmmith Accident Home, and the Durham Hospital, and for the last 18 months has been in private practice with Dr. James Anderson, one of the leading physicans in Melbourne. Hβ has thus attaining his degree had nearly seven years' experience in various responsible positions. Dr. Brnwis was a candidate for the position of Resident Medical Officer for the Waikato Hospital and was accessit to Dr. Kenny, a position which he attained by his high qualifications alone.
