TOWN EDITION.

The first and second prizes for silver Wyandotte pullets at the Masterton Sow were won by Mr J. A. Burtenshaw, of Napier. From enquiries made it now seems certain that the D. Lang drowned at the wreck of the Lizzie Beti was the brother of Mr J. Lang, of tho Napier Cafe. The senior f< o ball match City v. Te Ante, p'a,6ii on, tho Recreation Ground this aftei noou, was won by the former by 16 points to 6. The temperature readings at the principal places in the colony at 9 o'clock this morning were as follows : —Auckland 58, Gisborne 45. N'ipiev 49. Wanganui 45, Wellington 49, By&le-v 32, Christohurch .48, Dunedin <M, luvercargill 40, Bluff 43. Fanciers of pigeons, poulfy, aud dogs who ititeii i exhibiting at the Hawke's Bay Kennel and Poultry Club's annual show, are- retrinded that nominations are due to-night; with the secretary, who will receive entries at the Masonic Hotel. The success of tho complimentary social to be rennet c 1 to trooper R. Griffin by the Union Rowing Club in the Foresters Hall next Wednesday evening seems already assured. Tickets have been selling"freely, aud judging by the interest taken by all concerned, it bids fair to beat all previous ones, The music is in the hands of Mr S. Storkey and the catering in charge of the ladies' committee, sufficient guarantee that nothing will be lacking in these departments. Those interested in the formation of a branch of the Farmers' Union here are notified tJiat d iTi-veliiig »vi!l be held at the A. and P. Society's rooms, Tennyson street, at 11 a.m. next Thursday. Mr Glass, organising secretary, will be in attendance. The Health Department are considering the matter of framing an amendment to law so as to prevent injury to jurymen on coroner's inquests through decomposing dead bodies. The annui 1 ball in aid of the prize and picnic fund of the Spit school promises this year to eclip«e all previous records. Mr J. H. Goudy, local manager for Messrs Dalgcty and Co., Ltd., has kindly offered the use of that firm's new large wool store at the Spit for the occasion, and the committee intend to take advantage of his splendid offer. The Spit people are noted throughout Hawke's Bay for the manner in which they carry out anything of this kind, and it is expected that as practically all the residents of the Port will once again "rally round" the reputation already gained will not suffer. Besides dancing there will b9 several other attractions, foremost of which will be selections by Mr S. Charlton's lately imported phonograph, which that gentleman has generously placed at the service of the committee.
