Miss Henry, who was seriously injured through being thrown out of a buggy on the Karori-road, continues to improve. A large crowd assembled at Tame &, Co.'s auction rooms this afternoon to witness the snle of Hayes' Circus. In the yard were the various performing horses, looking sadly dingy in their ungroomed condition, a hand waggon, a luggage waggon, and a smaller vehicle, a couple of trick ponies, and varions properties. Mr. Hayes and his men were alfso there, standing among tho borFO.s and looking regretfully on their vanishing properly. The auctioneer said ho was anxious to giro the late proprietor an opportunity to resume possession, and so offered the circus at a going concern — tent and plant included. Bids camo slowly from £25 until they reached £00, and there they stopped, und the lot was withdrawn. An interested bystander asked what was the reserve, and was told J8125. but presently the auctioneer offered to tako .£l2O. That elicited no response, and so the fepara'e items were taken. The first was the performing horse Darkey, which fetched a beggarly .£3. After Darkey went his mate?, but nmall prices were realised, nnd the auctioneer promised that when ho had got thru"?!' the list thero he would proceed to tho Drillshed, and there sell the tout and t-eal-<. A civil cose was heard in the Ma«ri>-trato's Court to-day in which B. Birnbattra & Son (Limited), waterproof manufacturers, sued G W. Mnart, pawnbroker, for .£34, being the value of certain goods belonging to the company which were pledged with defuno.'' ant by Mr Birnbaum, iunr. . fomo time uinoe. Mr. Brown appeared for the plaintiffs, and Mr. £kerrott for the defendant* The plaintiffs' case w s that Mr. Birnbaum, junr., was manager of tho company, and in that capacity had do right to pledge tho property of the firm, and therefore tho goods or their equivale itshoujd bo restored. Mr.Skerrett, on belialf of tho defendant, contended that tho company could not su<<, because its articles of association stated distinctly that before the company could ptoceed in any aotion at law the power of attorney to do bo must bo signed by the manager and a director jointly. As the manager was away from the colony, and liar! not loft the necessary power of attorney, the case must fall through. Mr. Mai tin, S.M., said he should rcsorvo his judgment on the point raised. Only the question of law wrb considered today, the question as to facts being held ovtr, to bo determined ut a future day. Miss M. K. Page, first assistant at tho Kilbirnio State School, was yesterday presented with a very bindsome afternoon teatable, from the late School Committee. Thr gift was accompanied by a letter acknowedgiDg the active interest which Miss Page has always shown iv tho scholars, both as a teacher and as a friend, and hor constant readiness to further any movement for the benefit of the school. Mr. Donne, wbo has just returned from the Wairarapa, reports that red deer are very plentiful about the Gladstone and Marjnborongh districts, stags with good heads being fairly numerous, but very shy, and difficult to etalk The Mess-s. Strantf, of Greenside Station, Mr. James Cooper, of Taipo Station, Mr. Donne, and others, scoured 14 heads during the first week, one having 18 points, two 13, eight 12, and three ton. A largo number of young stags were seen. The Wellington Acclimatization Sooiety's request that no stags carrying | fewer than ten points bo shot is generally regarded by sportsmon. Large numbers of deer have settled ou Mr. John Martin's Purutangi estate, whero shooting is prohibited. The conservation of the deer on this property is very generally approved, as it affords the animals a shelter from the sportsmen not otherwise obtainable. While on the Hinewaka mountain en Tuesday last Mr. Donne found a nnmber of large legboues of the moa. Sir James Heotor intends to exhibit them at the next meeting of the Wellington Philosophical Society. Tn connection with the forthcoming Chrysanthemum l?how, Mr. J.
