Hamilton, Monday. At the ordinary meeting of the Waikato County Council on Friday, the only business of importance transacted was relative t_ riding or driving over the county bridges at other than a walking pace under a penalty of £5, and that a special meeting be held on October 28th to confirm the same.

The song, " The Old Brigade," by Mr Chambers, was exceedingly well rendered.
