1 he Karori Church waa crowded to excess on Friday, when the fourth daughter of Mr. S. Lancastpr, of Karori. waa married by ihe Key. A. DaEunt to Mr. \V Newcombe, storekeeper, of the saiue township. The bride was attended by her two younger sisters, and -was attired in cream serge, with the Customary wreath and orange blossoms, and the bridesmaids wore " pile green," -with black and cream hata. A brother of the groom acted as best man, and, in the absence of Mr, S. Lancaster on the Grand Jury, the bride nas given away by her brother, Mr. T. Lancaster. A large number of guests enjoyed afternoon tea at Hillside Villa, after ■which Mr. and Mrs. Newcombe left araidct a hail of rice for M'Nab's Gardens at the Lower Hutfc. Tho presents were both numerous and valuable. Mr. Ralph Levoi was to-day returned unopposed to represent the Thorndon Ward in the City Counoil. He was nominated by Messrs. Archibald Hall and M. K. Samuel. No fewer than 50 tenders weie received by Mr. H. B. Parsonage, of Thorndon, for the construction (labour only) of a woolshed at Te Kainera Bay, Terawhiti, for Mr. M'Menamin. The amounts ianged from .£57 to .£l7O, and the contract was iet to a party who tendered at .£79, that being considered a fair price for the work. Important changes in tho New Zealand coastal servioe are mooted by tho Ucion Steam Ship Company. If carried out they will considerably benefit the travelling public. It is probable, too, th.it the s.s. Wakatipu will be despatched from Wellington to Albany and Freinantle, should ?ulhcient inducement offer, to take intending diggers to the West Australian goldfields. While the Union Steam Ship Compuny's a.s. Moa has been undergoing the repairs necessitated by her recent stianding at Gisborno, some needed alterations to her p.a-i-senger accommodation have also been carried out. A new skylight and companion now gives direct access to the cabin from the bridge deck, in the place of the old passage through the alley way. A new four-berth cabin has been fitted up in the saloon, and the saloon itself has been renovated and redeoorated. In the steerage two new bertha have been erected. The vessel and her machinery have been thoroughly overhauled, under tho supervision of Mr. John Daniel, the company's local foreman The Moa sails for Napier at 10 a.m. to-morrow. Tha Wellington Harriers' Five-mile Crosscountry Chainpiouship comes off next Saturday atternoon at 3.30, on tho Itutt Park steeplechase course. The first prize will be a medal and President Bell's challenge enp ; a medal will also be given to tho second man. The challenge cup is to bo won twice in succession, or threo times at intervals, before it becomes tho property of any oue man. The oup is a beantiful trophy, and one well worth winning. C. 1)^ Morpoth will not be ruuning, and this will serve to make the event much more open. Any member of the club is eligible to run, and members are reminded that entries should bo in with the Secret iry by Wednesday. We are requested to iniimate to the members oi the cborus of the Musical Festival that tho meeting will be held on Thursday, at 8 o'clock, in Thomas' Hall.

Bethune & Co. are to sell on Thursday next, a valuable collection of Masonio works. There are some rare and valuable books and documents in the catalogue. We notice that Mr. J. Chorlesworth, architect, has returned to this city, after an absence of five years in Melbourne. He has been successful in several architectural competitions, aud carried out many important buildings in tho Victorian capital, having recently finished the Australian Club's fine building there. Mr. Charlesworth was formerly a resident of Wellington, and has had many years' New Zealand experience, with a very good record for architectural successes. He came over on a visit a few months ago in connection with his claim against tho New Zealand Government Life Insurance Department for not entrusting him with the carrying out of his own i designs for the new buildings on Customhouse- j quay, as to which a writ is being issued, and having resolved to settle down here, resumes practice at No. 12, Grey-street. Saturday's New Zealand Graphic contains illustrations as to the Napier Bowling Tournament (trroup) ; Albert Pork, Auckland ; a portrait of Lord Glasgow, and views in connection with his recent trip to Barotonga, &c.

George Thomas & Co. will sell to-morrow, fruit, Ac. W. F. Shortt will sell to-morrow, stout. James Smith did well for his customers at tho great drapery sale hold in Auckland last week. His two special buyors managed to secure the very cream of the lots out of the £85,000 stock. These bargain lots are now offered for sale at Te Aro House James Smith likes to do the thing well, and in conjunction with this bargain lot Bale ho offers a bonus discount of 10 j*r cent, on all his new winter imports while the salo lasts at Te Aro House. This week some 80 cases of winter dresses, millinery, and mantles have been opened, so that customers at the sale oan secure their new season's purohases and reap the benefit of 2s in the £ discouut at Te Aro House. — Advt. Whore has the money gone ? This certainly is a very pertinent question ; but when people find that they get value for their outlay, there is no uncertainty as to what brand they will bny nexttime. The " Matchless " Brand Teas are growing in public favour daily, and the increase in tho demand for thorn is notorious. Their fine flavour and exceptionally good qualities are unequalled. — Advt. The latest invention — Mrs. Hamley's oyster-opening apparatus. This simple contrivance fills a long felt wantr It may be used either in the diningroom* or kitchen, and by using it there is no danger of injury to the hands, and what has hitherto been a most difficult, dirty, and dangerous job, is made almost a pleasure. The selling price is 7a Cd eaoh, and they may be inspected at Messrs. Wilkins & Field's, Manners-street— Advt.
