There was not much interest taken in the cricket match at Petane yesterday, Rovers v. Petane Club. The game was a hollow one throughout, being- won by the former by 40 runs. The following - additional subscriptions have been received by Madam Politz in aid of the Schacfflcr family:—F.Adrian, 10s; F. Fischer, os; J. Pcttcrscn, 10s ; G. Bains, 5s ; Dixon, 5s ; 0. Nikolaisen, 5s ; C. Christofforsen, ss. "We are requested to eall.'atteution to fresh fenders having been invited for the construction of approaches to the Mangataratara bridge, on the Redelyife-Omalm road. Tenders must be sent in to the clerk of the Hawkc's Bay County Council by noon on Saturday next. The Egyptian War Gift Exhibition, which has been doing a good business ut Hastings for several days past, will open at the Oddfellows' Hall, Waipawa, to-morrow evening. There will be the usual liberal distribution of presents, as well as the other many attractions the show contains. Mr. J. Goddard, of the Havelock Nurseries, has shown us some very fine samples of Italian yellow peaches grown by him. They arc all of large growth, and very mellow and juicy. This evening and to-mor-row the' samples will be exhibited in the window of Mr Frcbblc, fruiterer, Hastingsstreet. It was quite a busy day at Petane yesterday, for, in addition to a. good many visitors from town—Soindc Island Rovers and private tennis parties—there was a constant stream of Maoris travelling from Wai-o-hiki to Petauc/w. In the afternoon Tawhiao, accompanied by his wife and secretary (':), drove up in a closed carriage. The king alighted with difficulty, and was assisted Into Mr Yillers' hotel; at the door lie feebly shook hands with one or two Europeans who were gracious to take any notice of him, and after partaking of a slight refreshment he proceeded on his way to the pa. An occasional correspondent from Woodvillo informs us that, at a meeting of settlers held at that township on "Wednesday evening last, it was decided to establish a cheese factory. As this district is acknowledged to be "second to none for grazing purposes, the establishment of a factory, if properly managed, must be a great loon to the district. The same correspondent, in referring to the land sale of Mr Townshend, states that these sections arc being anxiously enquired after, as the formation of the land around Woodville is such as to almost make it a certainty that the railway station must be in close proximity if not on these sections. A false report was spread in town last evening to the effect that Lady Emma had won the C.J.C. Autumn Handicap, and in tine or two instances at least money changed hands under the assumption thai the news was correct. One young speculator had the product of a private sweep handed over to him, and in the exuberance of his heart dealt liberally with his friends in the way of providing them with liquid refreshment. When the. truth leaked, out this morning, however, and that young man was requested to disburse " those stakes you know," ho felt differently about it, and declared the real winner of the race was to him anything but a "Welcome Jack." Professor Hugo resumed his lectures on Physiognomy in St. John.-: schoolroom last evening, when the attendance was larger than on any previous nights of the season, showing that the imblic interest in the subject° treated upon is still increasing. The lecturer last evening showed how much of a man's character can be read in the furrows of his face, and explained the causes that lead up to the formation of wrinkles in the countenance. At the conclusion Mr Hivo --avo practical illustrations oi his ability to read facial wrinkles, ha\ing for his subjects six gentlemen and four ladies, who were each shown their inner self in a clever manner. This evening '' l< oreheads will form the subject of discourse. Mr Amesbury lias arrived from Wellington and may be consulted during the week at Percy House. Mr Amesbury, has shown us some of his artificial teeth, which are remarkably light, thin, strong, and highly miished. Wo were, however, more interested in his patent —no false-palate dentures —the chief feature of which is the comfort it must ensure to the wearer. The full-set plates have no artificial palates or spiral springs, but arc attached to the gums, taking the exact position of the natural teeth, and fixed in a very ingenious and simple manner by perfect contact with a small portion of the depression generally existing over and outside the molar teeth. It is additionally fixed by the muscles of the cheek, thus producing a very natural effect.' The plate is small, light, and elegant, 'reflecting great credit on the inventor, indicating skill and a perfect knowledge of scientific dentistry, at the same time showing ari advance in the higher

branches of the profession. Mr Amesbury's patent will doubtless become generally adopted.

In the Resident Magistrate's Court this morning, before Captain Preece, R.M., John Smith was charged (1) with, having been drunk and disorderly at Hastings yesterday, (2) with the wilful destruction of Government property valued at ss, and (3) with having damaged a window in Mr Kelly's hotel to the extent of £1. The prisoner-admitted the charge of drunkenness, but denied the others. The evidence of Charles. Ayers and Constable Lawless, however, sheeted home all the charges to the accused, who was fined £1 and costs, or three days imprisonment for the first offence, 5s and costs or 48 hours imprisonment for the second, and £1 and costs, together with £1 damages, for the third, or in default seven days' imprisonment. The fines not being forthcoming the prisoner " went up " for twelve days.—Elizabeth Wyatt, on remand charged with lunacj', was dismissed.
