Hares and rabbits are becoming very scarce about Tauranga, hares especially so. As this is the breeding soason it is to be hoped that all trus lovers of sport will refrain from huating them and take steps to prevent others who ruthlessly slay them from doing so.

Mr Charles Holloway has been suffering from hoarooaoss and the doctor advises a rest s and rather than send the Company short j handed, hjs has determined to postpone the a opening date here to Monday, October loth. I The Registrar of Electors notifies that the l electoral rolls can be inspected at the Post Offices in the district and that names sent in 1 subsequent to the oth of Q ■tober will be < included in a supplementary roll. ( As the time for the County Council e.oo- J tions draws nearer the interest is becoming keener and ..already some candidates are busy canvassing. As all who intend to stand have ■ not yet declared themselves, voters will do i well to withhold promises of support until f the nominations are made. y >■ ;?<4«fext month iriill be a busy one politically forTafrranga, for not only will the electora bo called upon toj select a member to represent them in Parliament, but two local elec/tions take place, tl^at of the Mayor and County Councillors. So far as is known at present the probabilities are that all will be contested, and should suqh be the case much interest will be taken hi tho results. v ~ We learn that an organising meeting will Jh&-~ held in connection with the proposed formation in Tauranga of a branch of the Liberal Association. If matters eventuate a delegate will come from Auckland to show the local members the. way they should go to carry on operations successfully. Now that Parliament has - prorogued members will be on the way to their constituencies, that is if they seek re-elections, and no doubt shortly the good people of Tauranga will receive an account^pf its Member's stewardship from his own li{iis. Intending candidates s are somewhat late in "announcing themselves, though there is little\ doubt that three at least will be candidates in this electorate. Mr R. Bainbridge has finished his contract of clearing and ploughing 50 acres of land for Mr W. Douglas of Otumoetai. On Friday morning a number of natives arrived from Motiti to purchase stores, and stayed here till next day, when they again set sail for the island. The land lately purchased by Mr Crawford in Te Puke has been cleared and laid dowu in gras3. A substantial fence consisting of puriri posts and four barbed wires has been erected around it. The Racecourse Domain Board has accepted the tender of Mr A. Comes "for a lease of the reserve for a period of one year for the sum of ,£32. Mr Comes to cut all the gorse, and give up his tenancy with all the fences in good repair. Last week a large quantity of sulphuric acid was sent to Auckland from the Sulphur Works. / Yesterday, October Bth, was memorable as the anniversary of the day on which Captain Cook first landed in New Zealand, the pioneer of thousands of his countrymen j who have made of these islands a second Britain. The spot on the East Coast on which he landed, he called Poverty Bay. Mr J. D. Faulkner is busy ploughing the paddock of land he has leased from Colonel Roberts, R.M., opposite the Judea sale yards. Two teams are engaged on the job. We learn that ten boxes of butter were shipped to Auokland on Saturday last from Messrs Reynolds and Co's Creamery. On Saturday some fat sheep were shipped to Auckland by the Clansman from the bank station under the management of Mr Crump. Very little trouble was experienced in getting them on board* The large pool of stagnant water, whioh was formerly seen in a hollow on the south side of Hamilton Street, complained of in this paper some time ago, has now .disappeared, the water having been carried away by pipes that have been put in for the purpose, and the place is now quite dry. . We learn that Mr Burrows has been busy lately surveying Robert Street leading from Cameron Road to Hairini Bridge for the purpose of drawing up plans and specifications for the Borough Council, who intend', calling tenders for reforming this street. The supply of milk at the Te Puke cheese factory is daily increavig, and lately more settlers have sent their milk. Some of the settlers at Te Puke seem to be going in extensively for cattle, as a large mob \» ant out on Satr: 'day, which had been, purchased at Mr Lusdon's sale the previous day. On Saturday last Mr H. Berridge arrived from Te Puke with a load of dressed flax from the Keri Keri Mill, consisting of some twenty bales which were shipped to Auckland. This is the second load of flax from Te Puke within the last week. Yesterday a large fire was noticed burning on Minden Peak beyond the Wairoa river. It Beems to be an extensive tract of fern land set on fire, as fern ashes were carried by the wind over the town ail the afternoon. Mr Jenkins who lately purchased a farm at Waitaha intends ploughing 300 acres and he is going to let the land lie fallow for a time. Mr H. Knowlos had a large yield of oats on a small plot of ground near Hairini bridge having some 37 bags of oaten chaff off no more than a quarter of an acre. Mr Brown, of Welcome Bay, has ploughed a large area of land on which intends growing oats and maize. Some time ago Mr Leonard Harris of Te Puke took a fine mob of cattle t6 the Thames market, about thirty in number. He considers the Paeroa route a much better one than via Waikato to Auckland. Wo regret to chronicle an accident to Mr W. Meehan. As he was passing behind the Mechanics Institute on his way home on Saturday evening be slipped and broke his leg. Messrs Kiely, Whelan and Tanner took him home where Dr Bullen did all in his power to make the sufferer comfortable. Mr John Munro and family arrived from Taranaki via Auckland per Clansman on Saturday last. We understand that Mr Munro has secured some COO acres of good land at Te Puna in addition to that purchased at Ornokoroa. He being a practical farmer with plenty of capital should be an acquisition to this district. We wish him every success in his new home. Mr P. Munro reports the sale of lots 220, ! 221, 222, section 2, to Mrs Maurice. No less than 142 sections of Crown Lands have been taken up in the Bay of Plenty district since the commencement of the year, j showing the increasing popularity of this lofi&lity. . : /Some sportsman have taken offence at- our stating that good day's sport could be had at the Mount shooting piers' and declare that shooting them is nothing \ better than wholesale slaughter as when \shot they are quite unfit for anything. Tljey recommend catching them alive and dai-y feeding them" for a while, when they miy then be converted into baoon, Tho creamery is now progressing favourably, the butter this week being equal to that of Auckland creamery which is a. good sign for ttie milk suppliers of this district, Probably people who are in the habit of stick ; lg bills are unaware of the fact that it is contrary to tho Po3t and Telegraph Regulations to attach the same to telegraph poles. Tim is frequently done here, and on occasions by persons who certainly should know better. Enquiries are being receivfd by people here as to tho prospects offered to settlers from other parts. Most of the enquirrs come from Ta.-anaki where it- seems ,the fame of Tauranga has at last reached. Something should be done by Tauranga folks in the direction of publishing a sheet or pamphlet setting forth all facts pertaining t© the Bay of Plenty district for the benefit of intending settlers. Staff-Captain Edwards, of the Salvation Army, arrived by the last trip of the Clansman. On Saturday ni<*ht the Army attracted a large number of po Ac to their meeting by the music from two b -ass instruments and a drum, while yesterday a.ll meetings were well attended, that of the evening being so crowded that many could not gain admission. The senior officer will probably remain here for a a week; visiting Greerton on Wednesday aad Xc Pttke oa Thursday,

The furze have been cleared off %he eastern aide of Cameron Road near Captain Kerr's place, and when the willow trees planted along the hedge here and at Mr Darragh's property grow up the road will present a more pleasing appearance. The Tauranga School pupils can congratu* late themselves of not having been deprived of their annual Michaelmas holidays on account of the schools being previously closed owing to the measles as was the case in Opotiki. Several ladies and gentlemen indulge in fc practice of Lawn tennis nearly every evening at tho co«rb3 on Third Avenue, though the summer season has not yet commenced. ' Both rifle butts on Sulphur Point now lie buried in tho sand. It is a pity someone could not look after them, as the iron stays and other easily moveable pieeas are sure to get lost, and it is quite poss.ble they will again be required at no distant'' date." They are wo understand vested in the Borough Council, having been handed over to it some years ago at the instance of the Local Rifle » -Club, j Tho stono wall below the cemetory is in a very dilapidated condition. The top tier is broken in seven places, one of |hem being a gap of several yards. Near the northern end tho whole wall has given way for a similar distanca and tho earth from above has filled up the breach. It is quite evident that it will not brave tho storms of another winter sue- ■ cessfully. ' Already several bathers, both ladies and gentlemen, have been enjoying, a refreshing ; dip in the briny doep. We hope the Borough | Council will hasten to open the baths for the convenience of the public. ; At Te Puke on Thursday Professor Lichtwark will give a free lecture on educating the horse. . In another part of to-day's issue we publish, ', by request, a testimonial from a number of his pupils. The Professor holds another class lesson in Mr Fenton's stables on Wednesday i afternoon. ' Mr Charles Voss, the celebrated Australian T ventriloquist, will pay Whakatane a visit next week. This gentleman is well known I all over the Colony, and should meet with a 1 good reception down the Coast. Intending pupils are reminded that Mr 1 Galbraith's short-hand class starts to-night. Tenders are invited by the County Engineer ' for work on Otumoetai and Cheese Factory | roads. * i Messrs Mann and Co. call special attention 1 in this issue to their corn planters, and Planet Junior implements. At Te Puke on Friday and Saturday Mr r Riley and company appeared in the Public Hall, good audiences greeting th^en} on both occasions. All the items were w£ll received s and Mr J. Linton established a reputation. a Mr Riley desires us to mention that he r picked up a purse containing a small sum of 8 money in the passage of Kenealy's hotel, 6 and, that the owner can 'have the same on > application to Mr Kenealy, with whom it has been left. \ On Friday evening the Government steamer [ Hinemoa arrived at this port. She has oome here to inspeot the buoys, and on Saturday the ovew was busily engaged fixing them. c Some of the omoers, including 1 Captain Faira child, came into town on Saturday afternoon. We hear that the Hinemoa is to make a t:ip to i Raratonga "early next year with the Governor k and Lady Glasgow ; she will probably: leave i. Auckland for Raratonga in January. o A pleasing incident occured at the Presbyterian Church last night -When Miss Maxwell s was presented with a handsome family bible, if duly inscribed, in recognition of her valued r services as organist and Sunday-school teacher c of that church, and on the occasion of her t coming marriage. The presentation was made c by Mr Badger, in the absence of the Rev. Mr Scott, who in a few well-chosen wtfrds thanked Miss Maxwell, on behalf of the Committee, for her long a id valuable services, also referring a to the good work-done by her father as choire master. Mr Maxwell briefly responded, thanks ing the Committee for their gift and kind ? wishes for himself and daughter. TheKatikati left for Maketu at 10 o'clock c this morning, where she will load with flax.' On Saturday a number of milk-cans arrived from Auokland for the Rev. S urley Baker. k This enterprising gent'einan intends- milking .. fifty cows for the creamery this season. s A slight shock of earthquake was felt at 4.5 yesterday afternoon, the direction being from -i east to west. Q A meeting of the Trustees of the New Cemsy tery was held in Mr J. A. .Clark's office on a Friday, and new Trust'oe3 waro appointed for c the next seven years. Mr C. A. Clarke wa3 appointed chairman, Mr J. M-xxv/01l treasurer, and Mr J. A. Clark secretary . No freeholders 6 put in an appearance. rf.- The best medicine known in Sander and S ons <j Eucalypti Extract.
