A "bolt" oecunod tins morning in Clyde road, resulting , in the smashing up of Mr Heron's baker's curt. The first of the cup cricket matches of tho season will bo played at Petane on Saturday next between tho Potano and Taradalo Clubs. M. J. P. Maxwell, general manager North Island Railways, arrived in Napier yesterday afternoon, and proceeded up the line this morning. The disbursements of the borough, in charitable aid for the quarter ended September 30th last were more by £50 than in any previous quarter, reaching no less a sum than £389 Ms. Telegraphic communion lion with Wellington is still very imperfect, there being but one wire working. The consequence is that wo cannot supply our readers with tho usual quantity of news from the southern portions of tho colony. Hegarty's Court Minstrels were again highly successful in their second entertainment at Waipawa last night, and won tho frequent and hearty plaudits of a largo audience. To-night they open at Hastings, where they are certain to be received with a bumper house. The Petano Jockey Club are to bo congratulated on the nominations for its November meeting. For the Publicans' Purse there are nino entries, and for the Plying Handicap seven, and all good horses, as good as are to bo found in Hawke's Bay. Tho weights will bo declared on Wednesday. The Napier Young Men's Mutual Improvement Association hold their last ordinary meeting for the present session to-night, when two essays will be read on "Lord Clive " and "Charles Dickens" respectively. A good attendance of members is requested, as there is business of importance to bring before the meeting. At a meeting of tho Napier Rowing Club, held last evening, it was decided to hold tho opening jn'ooession of the season next Saturday at 2.30 p.m., members to meet at the Tutaokuri sheds at 2 o'clock sharp. The procession will be followed by a competition for trial fours, in which throe crews will start. We expect to see a largo attendance, should the weather not upset tho club's plans, as was tho caso last Saturday. The Artillery and Riflo Volunteers paraded for inspection opposite AtlieiKeum last evening, when there was a fair muster of both companies. After inspection the Rifles were exercised in sections, also in company skirmishing drill. Tho Artillery corps had also half-an-hour's drill, after which a private meeting of tho company was held. Tho Volunteer Band, under Bandmaster Tankard, was in attendance at inspection and drill. Amongst other resolutions passed at tho meeting of the Borough Council last night was one instructing the Inspector of Nuisances to furnish a return of all tho houses connected with the main drains. Wo hope that this return will result in something more than the satisfaction of more curiosity. There are less than 200 houses connected with the drains, and it is high time, in the interests of sanitation, that connection, wherever possible, should bo made compulsory. In making the remark that tho Municipal Council could not be expected to contribute any more money to tho hospital, Cr. Cohen forgot, apparently, that it is only by virtuo of the animal grant that tho town and Council have the right to elect members to tho Hospital Committee. If tho grant is discontinued tho hospital would be placed under the management of Government nominees, and what is now regarded by all in Napier as an institution to be proud of would soon cease to command the slightest interest. The final rehearsal for tho concert on Friday night will bo held at tho Theatro Royal this evening at 8 o'olock punctually, 1 and no excuse should be made for absence thercform. We hear that tho subscriptions have been coming in rapidly during the last day or so, consequent, wo presume, upon tho time drawing near for the concert. We again urge all those wishing , to subscribo to do so without dolay, so as to avoid disappointment. Books of the words of all the vocal music to bo given at the concert may bo purchased from Mr Craig or Mr R. C. Harding, or in the concert room. In the Resident Magistrate's Court this morning, before Captain Preece, R.M., four persons "were charged with lunacy, as follows: —John Symons (whom the surgeon of the asylum described as being a deaf' mute), was discharged, and tho R.M.re-: commended that application should bo made by his parents to have him admitted to a deaf and dumb institution. . Martha Smith, on remand, was further remanded for a fortnight. Julius Mattawig, on remand, -was discharged on tho medical certificate of the examining oflicers. Naomi Chase (a native woman) was remanded to the asylum for eight days for medical examination. To avoid all mistakes, ask for Wolfe's ScirxArps, and by a continuous use of that celebrated cordial, secure for yourself an -* extended lease of lifo.—[Advt.]
