Hi 9 many friends in Wellington will be very pleased to ltarn that Dr. Cahill was able to ge* up on atnrday for the first time afte. his severe attack of favor. He is now progressing^ welj towards recovery. The doctor's serious illness has turned him quite grey. There are now (Captain Edwin writes) strong evidences of the approach of the northerly gales indicated on the 12th mat , and itl <o that the cyclone centre indicated on the 13th, is now abont 450 milea from the North Cape. Mr G. W. White, the Secretary of the Pioton Bogatta, held on Baiter Monday, has by direction of tho Committee, addressed a letter to Mr. A. G. Johnson, conveying a hearty vote of thanks to that gentleman for tbe manner in which he carried ont the duties of umpire at the regatta. The Committee express the hope tbat Mr. Johnson will consent to net in a similar capacity at future Pic con regattas. A mission room in connection with St. Mark's Church is about to be erected near Mr. F. Sidey's residence in Kilbirnie. The cost is estimated at .£l5O, and more than half the amount is already in hand, .£75 representing a bequest, and .£2O having been collected by the residents of Kilbirnie The building, which is to be erected in accordance with plans pratnitously prepared by Mr. W . Heginbotham, will be 3uft long and 18|ft wide. , A very enjoyable match was played lost Satnrday on tbo Clifton) Tennis Club's Conrt in Hobson-»treet between a combined team from tbe Petone and Lower Hutt Clubs and a team from the Clifton Club, resulting in a win for the lattor by 65 point*.

Tsitfc will to-night deliver his popular lecture on " William Lloyd Garrison " in Wesley Church. This is the only opportunity the public will have, for a considerable time at least of hearing Mr. Isitt in Wellington, as, after visiting Auckland to hold a debate with Dr. Bakewell on the Prohibition question, ho will go on to Sydney to attend the Australian General Conference aa one of the delegates from the Wesley an Church in this colony. Some widely spread bat erroneous impressions prevail regarding Mr. laitt's present rolationahip to the Wealoyan Church. Tho facts are that in order to carry out a colonial temperance campaign, Mr. Isitt. with the permission of bis Church, resigned the pastorate of East Belt Church, Christchurch, early last year He, howpvor, though drawing no stipend bjnoe that time, still retains hia full ministerial status, and is amonable at all times to the Conference.

James Smith did well for his customers at tEe great drapery sale held in Auckland last week. His two special buyers managed to aocure tho very cream of the lota ont of the -£85,000 stook. The»e bargain lota are now offered for sale at Te Aro Houae. James Smith likes to do the thing well, and in conjunction with this bargain lot sale he offers a bonus discount of 10 per cent, on all his new winter imports while the sale lasts at To Aro House. This week some 80 cases of winter dresses, millinery, and mantlet) havo been opened, so that customers at tbe sale can secure their new season's purohases and reap the benefit of 2a in the £ discount at Te Aro Houae. — Advt. Where haß tho money gone ? This certainly is a very pertinent qnestion ; but when people find that they get value for their outlay, there is no uncertainty hs to what brand they will buy next time. The '" Matchless " Brand Teas are growing in public favour daily, and the increase in the demand for them is notorious. Their fine flavour and exceptionally good qualities are unequalled. — Adyt. Recognising the growing demand for a better class of gun in this market, Messrs. Wilkias & Field have thii season imported a few of W. W. Greener's famous " Foresters " and " Dominion " guns The maker's certificate and paper targets showing- the pattern and number of shots placed in a 30in circlo by each barrel accompanies each gun. This maker's weapons are too well known to every sportsman to require any comment. They have also a few copies of W. VV. Greener's lwteEtbook, •' The Ureecb,loader, and How to Use It," prioo 2s 6d. As the supply of the above is limited, we would advise our sportine readers to make an early call. Their stock of guns and sporting goods is, as usual, large and well selected. — Advt.
