On tlio fourth pago will bo found oar special correspondent's " Wellington Gossip," letters to the editor, and our Waipawa and Hastings correspondent's letters. In oonseqence of the numerous attractions this week the promoters of the Muri9t Brothers' concert have very wisely decided to postpone it to Thursday, Bth September. A committee meeting of the Napier Rowing Clnb was held at the Criterion Hotel last night, when id was decided thai) the annual meeting should be held at noon oq Wednesday, the 7th September next. Mr Tarnbnll, R.M., was well enough to transact) some Trust Commissioner's bnslness yesterday, and hopes to be well enough by next Monday to resume his customary duties in the Resident Magistrate's Conrt. A man who had given the name of Michael James, but "didn't look it," was called at the Court yesterday to answer a charge of drunkenness. Ho did not appear, and hia bail of £1 was estreated for the use of Her Majesty's Government. The dust was blowing about yesterday as though there had been no rain for mgnths. This is one of the advantages of Napier, thab even the dampest spell docs not leave the place sloppy longer than a few hoars after the sun gets a chance. In onr yesterday's issue appeared an advertisement in which, by an Incomprehensible prlnter'sjerror, it was stated that the performance of "Alone" and " Dream Faces" would take place at the Gaiety Theatre. This should have been, of course, the Theatre Royal. The long-established baker/ business carried or by Mrs Lang has been purchased by Mr Philip, of Auckland. Mr Philip is a practical tradesman ol many ye&rs standing, and will consequently bring to bear a useful experience that should be satisfactory to his patrons. There i» some talk of forming a club to hold " Plumpton " meetings several times a year. The promoters look with favor on the old Meanee racecourse as a site for their operations, as providing drab-closa natural advantages in connection with coursing, and offering exceptional facilities for always having a supply ef strong hares available. The concerts now being givon io the South Island by Signor Foil and his company appear to be remarkably successful. The great basso has with him Mi« Bertha llossow, whose talents are highly appreciated in Napier; Madame Tennyson Cole, an artiste new to the colony, contralto; Miss Emilia Wood, pupil of Monsieur Kowalski, pianisto ; »nd Mr T. Leslie Miduleton, tenor. At the Resident Magistrate's Conrt yesterday, before Mr Wardoll, K.M., Alexander Gillies, charged with disobeying an order of the Court, agreed to pay a lump snni for arrears due and to pay £2 a month regularly in future. A Maori named Atarn, for furiously driving while drank, was fined £3 and costs. J. Jensen was fined Os and oosts for allowing several head of cattle to be ac large. There was a special meeting of the Borough Council last night, to pass n special order altering the boundaries of , Beach-road. There were present the Mayor and Crs. Faulkner, Neal, Wols- j man, M'Vay, Cohen, and Cranby. The object of tho alteration was to out from < :hu road the strip of gronnd in front of the Hawke's Bay Club and the properties of Messrs Hlndmarah, Curlyou, and Holder. It is proposed to cell this strip, which is between the bouses nnd the road , proper, to tho owners of tho properties fronting it. The special order was pissed, * and a meeting to confirm It was ordered c to be held on September 27th. We have received from the publisher, f Mr J. W. Craig, of Napier, a copy of a r little work entitled "Aids to Expert- j mental Science," by Mr Andrew Gray, oi Anckland. This is Intended an n guide a to those preparing for tho class D examln- r ation of the New Zealand Education Department. It contains notes on a very 2 complete Beries of elementary experiments p on the fundamental principles of matter * and energy, the varions physical forces, chemistry, physiology, and health, which * soeni to afford the itudenb every help for K prosecuting his studies, and include a ti good deal oi information not accessible in i 1; tho ordinary manuals. The book is suf. ; ficlently illustrated, and should prove eminently useful to those for whom it is specially Intended, as well as to those 2( interested in the teaching of physical scieace.
