However, voters can poll e.irly, and then get away in time to see the first race.

A resident in one of the outdistricts.who sympathises with the half-holi-day movement has sent us the following extract from the speech of the Rieht Hon. Joseph Chatnberlin, M.P., at the Early Closing Associations' meeting, at Birmingham, September 14th, 1892 :—" One single cantankerous ill-conditioned fellow acting entirely for his own selfish interests is able to spoil an arrangement which may be agreed upon by everybody else in the trade."

Yesterday a youngr man, named John Whitten, from Te Aroha, was readmitted into the Waikato District Hospital yesterday, suffering with an injury to his ankle, for which he was previously treated, but which has not healed.

The monthly meeting of the Waikatn Farmers' Club will be held at Cambridge on Monday evening. Mr J. A. Pond was to have been present and deliveivd his lecture on Lime, but he wired the Club secretary last evening that he cannot attend Monday's meeting owing to his having to devote 30 much time to the inquest at Waikomiti touching the decease of Mr Thomson of that place. Notwithstanding the absence of Mr will plenty of business to transact at "the;meetBarlow again gave one of his popular diawing-room and character entertainments, in the Volunteer Hall, Hamilton, on Thursday evening, and was listened to by a very appreciative awlience. The programme presented was almost entirely different from that Riven on the previous evening, and amongst new items was a clever imitation of the Scutch bagpipes on a harmonium. His nld favourite "De Blue Tail'd Fly," in which he makes such a big hit, was of course given. Hβ shows at Cambridge, upon dates which will be duly announced, and will be doubtless welcomed with big houses.

S. Andrews' Cambridge Anniversary Festival, is advertised in this issue. We learn that no efforts are being spared to make this a hearty celebration. The parishioners have been invited from all parts of the district, and also visitors from other parishes. There will be an out-door social in the parsonage grounds, on Tuesday evening, and choral evening, on Wednesday. The Rev, G. MacMnriMy. the new incumbent of the Cathedral Church, Parnell, will preach on Wednesday, and give an address at the social. The Cambridge banrl have also kindly promised their attendance.

In another column we publish the programme, of the newly-tormed Waikatn Trotting Club's Spring Meeting, to take place on Wednesday next, the 30th inst., at the old race-course, Gwynnelands, Cambridge. There aro seven events for decision, and £140 to be distributed in prizes, and should the weather prove tavourable there is no doubt but a large gathering of the gnneral public will patronise the inaugural metting of this club. By Tuesday's train the Auckland horses are expected to arrive in Cambridge, and also many of the racing fraternity. The first race is timed to start at one o'clock.

At the committee meeting of the South Auckland Racing Club held on Thursday, the report of the Financial Committee was received and a'lopt-jd. In referring to tho position -.>f the Club the Chairman suid he was pleased to report upon the exceptionally satisfactory position the club was in. The liabil'ties of the club nra insignificant and are amply covered by its assets. Ths secretary was empowered to arrange with the Hamilton Volunteer Band to play at tho forthcoming meeting, and other matters of detail as regards a few necessary works about the course were left in the hands of Mr Slade and the secretary to carry out.

There are at present in Auckland two exceedingly clever phrenologists, and physiognomists and gifted lecturers, viz.. Professor and Madame Borreson. It is not ofton that such a combination of talent and ability is found in the persons of man and wife, but in this case it is undoubtedly so. Professor B.irreson is a phrenolagist of

undoubted talent and a capital lecturer, and in Madune Borresou is a lady of d»-ep knowledge of both of these sciences, and is possessed besides of considerable lecturing ability, and her delineations of character ore most correct and true to life. A great treat is in stnre for Waikato people, as Madame Borreson will be in Hamilton and lecture next Saturday evening, December 3rd, in the Volunteer Hall.

-nstead of the soiree which has been held in connection with St. Peter's Church, Hamilton, for several years past, it is intended that this year the entertainment shall take the form of a social in tho Volunteer Hall,the date fixed being Wednesday. December 7th. The first portion of the evening will be taken up with a concert the items of which will be given by all the leadins , lortil amateurs and some friends from Cambridge have also consented t>> assist, the general management being in the hands of Mrs Whitaker and Miss Newell. Refreshments will be handed round during the interval after which the "Trial Scene from the Merchant of Venice will be read. The price of admission has been fixed very low,one shilling to all parts of the Hall.so a crowded houoe may therefore be expected. The proceeds are to be devoted towards paying off a portiun of the loan on the Sunday-school site. i We are in receipt of the catalogue of thoroughbred yearlings, bred by Mr Morrin at Wellington Park, that will

be sold by auction without reserve on Wednesday 4th January next. This will be the seventh annual sale of Wellington Park yoarlings, and the list comprise.? thirty-one youngsters got by the celebrated sues Nordenfeldt, Hotchkiss, Castor, Tasman and Tetford. We eincerely trust that this season's sale may be no less satisfactoy to Mr Morrin than its predecessors, for it cannot be gainsaid that to Mr Morrin and his late brother Mr S. Morrin. is iue the pre-eminent position Auckland now holds for the raising of thoroagbred stock. The credit of the purchase of the celebrated mare Sylvia and Onyx and the grand horse Musket, whose progeny were the first to bring notoriety to the Auckland province belongs to the aforesaid gentleman, and there is no one but must rejoice in the prosperity of the proprietor of the Wellingto Park Stud.

We have to acknowledge the receipt from Mr C. Hndwn, District Traffic Manager of railways, a copy of the new time-table, which will come into operation on the Auckland section on and after December Ist. The principal alteration which affects Waiknto is that a fait passenger train leaves Auckland at 8 a.m. every Saturday, arriving at Oxford at 1.30 p.m., passing through Frankton Junction at 11.30 a.m., and Morrinsville at 12.10 I) m The return train leaves Oxfori at 3p.m. on Mondays, arriving in Auckland at 8 30 p.m., passing through Morrinavillp at 4 -20 P.m., and Frankton J unction at fi pm. This train will take the place of the fast train which ran three times a week last yenr and will connect with a coach service, so that the trip to and from Rotorua and Auckland c.in be completed in >ne day. We think that this sprvice will prove more remunerative to the Department than that of last year, a* the tourist traffic is not large enough t > require thro? trains a week. Tl.p. cattle train wll leave Huntly at 1.10 p.m. instead of 1.40 p.m., as at present.

Consequent on the .• uocees if the Went Australian loan, Australian'stocks gonei-itlly are buoyant.

Dr. Brewie has requested us to state that the disappointment to the mothers of Huntiy on Tuesday last, as mentioned by our correspondent in last issue, wan occasioned by his being called away on an urgent case *o the other end of ih» district. He notifies in our columns the dates on which he will attend for public vaccination .ree, viz., Ngaruawahia first Tuesday in each month; Huntly, third Tuesday on each month and he will endeavour to keep to those dates if possible.

A pair of horses with a waggon belonging to Mr Hirwood bolted from somewhere near the Hamilton West station yesterday afternoon. Tho head-tall of one of the team gave way and off fell the winkers, with the usual result of a bolt. The runaways passed up Victoria-street, t.irned down Hood-street, and shortly after they were pulled up in Anglesea-street by Percy Emerson und another young man who happened to be on horseback irc the. street at the time. Fortunately, no accident occurred and there was no datr.asre done to the waggon.

Early this year the public resented the rude way in which the Ministers treated Sir Francis Bell on his return t-> this colony (s*ys the Wellington Press). Recently two boorish pieces of neglect happened in thia city. A French man-of-war entered our harbour, but Ministers took no notice whatever; never called, never paid the officers any attention whatever. The Miayor did his duties right well, bwt the Ministers itterly shirked theirs. Again, the intercolonial Stock Conference, with representatives from Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, and Tasmania, met in Wellington, and Ministers altogether slighted aud neglected them. The delegates landed on the wharf; no one met them ; no one looked after them. The Conference opeofcd; no Minister was present. Very different this from the generous open handed way in which our delegates to Sydney were treated. On the last day of the Conference a Minister did go up and show a little civility, for he actually •'shouted n drink all round." Truly a noble way of looking after distinguished guests. .
