To-morrow is the last day upon which the income-tax can be paid without the addition of 10 per cent. The Athemeum has added that wellknown illustrated dramatic authority—The Sketch to its table literature. A fresh election will take place for Wellington Suburbs on account of Mr Wilford's election being declared void this afternoon. Information was received by the police yesterday that a swagger's kit had been found at the back of the river running through Maraekakaho. Constable Butler proceeded to the spot, but found no trace to identify the owner. A comb, brush, and other things were lying about, but it is not thought that any one has been drowned. Lesna, the French bicycle champion, who has just broken Parson's mile record, and has recently lowered the five and ten mile records, rode a Gladiator each time. Intending purchasers will do well to inspect samples of this machine at the local agency. Mrs E. Brown, the well-known draper, is nothing if not thoroughly up-to-date in all things connected with her extensive business. In this issue she announces an immense clearing sale during which she intends to sell off the greater portion of her stock at an immense sacrifice. Ladies and gentlemen who desire to secure sound goods at a cost considerably below the usual market price should not fail to visit Mrs Brown's establishment. Mr W. R. Peene, who lately managed Mr Goddard's fruit shop in Heretaunga Street, has now taken over Blytlie's Billiard Saloon which is being renovated and appointed in the latest style for the comfort and accommodiation of his patrons and will be open next Saturday, 18th inst. Mr Peene, who has a long and varied experience (English and Colonial) iu the fruit business intends opening a fruit and fancy shop iu conjunction with the saloon where he will be supplied with fresh fruit daily from Mr Goddard's nursery. Mr Bernard complains, and we think with justice, that before he is allowed to open his circus in Hastings he is mulcted in £5 by the Borough Council. If the Council gave anything in return, say liberty to use any of their reserves, there might be some reason for the high figure charged, but nothing is given. It certainly does appear strange that a high sum should be demanded from a circus owner, while theatricals are allowed to play scott free. The only civil case so far as known at I present to be brought before the next sitting of the Supreme Court at Napier is one from Hastings, in which Edward David Jarvis, by his mother Mary .Tarvis, sues George H. Eoach, draper, for the sum of £BOO, for injuries sustained by plaintiff, who was oil horseback and collided with defendant's cart, which, it is alleged, was being driven without lights lij" F. J. Gibbs, defendant's employee. Mr E. 11. Williams appears for the plaintiff, and Mr P. S. McLean for defendant. To-morrow night is the opening night of Mr John Fuller's talented company. His entertainment is of a class quite new to a Hastings audience, and has caught on in a remarkable manner wherever the company has as yet appeared. This is due no less to the Myrioraina portion of the entertainment than to the musicians who compose the company. Mr Howard Chambers has not been heard by a Hastings audience, but he is an immense favorite wherever he has as yet appeared. Mr Ben Fuller is a humorist of a refined type, who enlivens proceedings as only he knows how. Miss Lydia Walters is an elocutionist who has charmed many by her great dramatic power, and Miss Hetty Warden is a young lady who has achieved a reputation as an exceptionally clever entertainer. Of Mr John Fulier himself there is no need to speak as he is now known all over Australasia, and has sung in Napier with the Albu sisters with enormous success. Bishop Julius, the delegate to the Lambeth Conference, was entertained at a very large gathering at Christchurch last night prior to his departure. Commandant Booth, of the Salvation Army, was accorded a hearty reception by a crowded gathering in the Opera House, Christchurch, last night. The Mayor welcomed him on behalf of the citizens. Our Wellington correspondent writes '• A divorce suit of a particularly piquant character is pending, and rumor has fixed upon a leading politician as the co-respon-dent. If the caso does really get as far as the courts, it will have a very serious bearing on the future of the political parties.'' Mr Brown, president of the Wellington Exhibition, lias written to the Hon ,1. A. Cadmaii suggesting that the tlovermnont arrange for a New Zealand court at the Brisbane Exhibition, and grant a sufficient sum to pay the expenses of sending exhibits and placing someone in charge. There were a large number of delegates at the annual meeting of the Grand Lodge of Druids of the North Island held at W'anganui last night. The report showed that during the year and nine- mouths of its existence 10 lodges had been opened and the membership number 1200. There were no funds in hand when the district was formed, but now then- is a credit balance of £7<>o 17s. Wellington warehouse prices are in every instance charged by the D, 1. ('. wiiftl executing orders received by post. Those of our residents who want really nice fashionable goods need nut hesitate about communicating with the D. 1.C., Wellington. Complete furnishing is now a special feature of the I>. 1. and those who anticipate requirements in this direct tiuit will be supplied with catalogues and estimates post free.—Anvr.
