Acceptances for all handicaps and entries for other events in connection with the Hawke's Bay Caledonian Society's meeting must be in the hands of the secretary by 9 o'clock this evening. The annual picnic, aports, and disfcributiOQ of piizD-i in connection with the Taradale dlatrlcb school will take place tomorrow iv the Blnegnm Paddock, Qreenmeadows. A piize will be awarded by ballot to the moat popular girl, and also one to the most popular boy.

The Napier Rowing Club may be said to have made a considerable eplash yesterday. We congratulate the membora on the enthusiasm shown by the public— and especially the ladlea— at the opening. We bope to see the day shortly when Napier oarsmen will wrest tho laurela from the very best that the colony possesses. They are going the right way atoufc it at any rate.

The Napier bowling green never looked better than it did yesterday, when the Napier and Hastings teams tried conclusions. The players displayed the utmost enthusiasm, and the interest transferred itself to the spectators, who watched Oho progress of the different rinka very keenly. Excellent afternoon tea wbs dispensed to visitors, and was heartily appreciated.

The Hawera Star complains that the local Hoaplbol JJourd is nob doing Its duty, and recordß the fact that when a man was admitted on Saturday in an uneoneoious state, suffering from concussion of the brain and serious injury to one arm— a compound fraotnre— there was not a complete aeb of splints available, nor any of the commonest drugs required for the treatment of such, a case. Auckland Star contains the following: — It appears that acoording to clause 8 of the Shop Assistants Act, assistants employed in hotel bars are entitled to a

half holiday on one afternoon In eaoh Mr B. Forgnßon, the inspector, Ims made a tour of inquiry, and finds that Uiis clause Is being f?eaeral/y ignored, lie Instructs us to atuce in cases where proprietors of hotels do not comply with the clauso he intends to tako proceedings. Mr Hall recently offered the Seventy, ruilo A. and P, Society £1 as a prize for

tho best oabbage. The committee, after very mature consideration, decided that the award be spread over three cabbages, which will no donbt occasion immense satisfaction to the settlers of the locality named. Mr Hall also returned a member's ticket which had been sent him, on tbe Rronnd that it would be of no use to him, as none of his iamlly would be able to attend tho show. The committee thereupon ordered the secretary to return the ticket, as everyone who gave a prize was entitled to a member's ticker.

Owing to tbrbte crewa having unexpectedly forfeited for the Union Rowing Club's double 'scnlls there was no race last evening. The final heat of the first round will ba decided this evening, when Malcon and Ringland will try conclusions with Nortbe and Marshall. Drawing for the remaining heata took pi bob nb the shed last evening, nnd resulted In Fisher and Kenny being marched against Fnlford and Maeill, and Bedford and Hodd ngalnat the winner of tbe heat Malcon v. Northe. Norths nnd Malcon Will race at 5 o'clock and Fisher and Fulford at 5.30 o'clock this evening. Onf HastiDgß correspondent writing yesterday Bays :— The annual picnic in connection with St. Matthew's Sundayschool was held to-day, when a large number of children and their friends had a mosb enjoyable outing on the racecourse grounds. The Rev, J. Hobbs and Mrs Hobbs and the teachers were indefatigable in their efrortn to help the children to thoroughly enjoy themselves, The various sports for tlie bjys were Organised by Messrs Fraaer, Martin, and A. Hyd», wbiltt the Misses Williams kindly officiated In a similar manner for the girl-. To n'dd to the pleasure of the picnic the Hcsjines Town Bind, conduce 1 by Mr Loe'i'! Fowler, Rave several selections. Our \Valpa*a '6 irres'pontfent writing yesterday Bays x— An accident occurred yesterday to a fon of Mr T. Parkinson, of the Exchange Hotel. It appears that he accompanied Mr Beachen, who wns hawking fish at Homewood with an express. Being left in 'charge for a few minutes during Mr Beaohen's absence, the horse from some unexplained cause bolte'o, upsetting the oart, and Parkinson fell on his head and was unconscious when picked up. Another boy who was in the trap escaped without any hurt. A messenger was sent to Mr Parkinson, who fetched hU son home, and he la now doing as well aa could be expected.— Again several of the ahopa kept open in defiance of the law this afternoon, althongh some dosed at 3 o'clock, The team to retttecent the Napier Cricket CJpB against the United Cricket Clnb at Farndon on Saturday will be chosen from the following players, who are requested to attend practice to-morrow afternoon with the club's professional, Mr Mills, and to get ac much fielding practice as possible >. — Hill, WolstenhoJihe,. White, J. C. Marblo, J. H. Martin, H. Swan, Gardiner, Freeman, Edwards, Laws, Chapman, Fulton, and Ityan. As id is estimated that more matches bave been lost through catches being dropped than from any other cause, it is, we are requested to say, hoped the team will brighten up in this most important department and take the chances in future, otherwise long sßJres are sure to be bile roault. The Sorlnort \A the Free Association met at a. 3D p.m. yesterday in the Chamber ot Commercp, Mr B. PuQett in the chair. Four cases of acoident were reported, but one was thrown out owing to the unfavorable nature of the reports received. One (a seriouß case) bad already been voted £3, and the meetlug granted another £3, and £2 and £3 were, voted to the other two Oases respectively; The secretary reported he had filled eight nitftatlons slnfce last meeting, vll,, one cook, one married cptip'te 1 , ana\ sis station hands> making 4 total of SO elnce the annual Keeling; Some general correspondence and a few accounts having been dealt with, the meeting proceeded to oonaider some very important business, which was eventually left over until Friday morning next, when a special meeting will be held. In this morning's issue will be fonnd sale plana of sections at West dive and Waitangl to be sold by Mossrs Baker and Tabateaa, in conjunction with Mr Henry LftscQilcs, on the Sth February. This property Is commonly known as "Giffard's Estate,' 1 but Is the property of Lord Halsbury. Mr Henry Lascellea has acted in this capacity of agent tor the estate for some years, and many Inquiries Bave been made to him for small holdings In the WaltaDgi distriot. Most of the sections offered in this locality are close to the Farndon railway-station, and not only are above all flood levels, bat have ' soil of the best. Lord Halsbury havlDg consented to dispose of a portion of the most valuable part of the property, it la to be hoped that good prices will be realised. Messrs Biker and Tabuteau or Mr Henry Lasdelles are prepared to give eil ioformation or to show intending purchasers over the sections. A corresdondent thus writes to the London Standard: — "I enjoyed for breakfast the other morning an epgg imported from Australia, a sample of a contlgoment s»nt from the pnshlng colony of Victoria. It was sound and sweet, equal to the fresh egg which costs 2Jd at this 1 season of the year. I claim a Diche in the Standard to record thiiv When fresh eggs come to us from far distant Australia, we may make up our minds that onr colonial cousins are in earnest in the determination to have their share in supplying the food wants of Great Biitaln. I hold that la a standing disgrace to onr rural population that four millions sterling should be paid away yearly fnr our egg bill (Is it that the cottager and farmer are negligent in overlooking this industry, or is the system of distribution to blame ?) ; but, if we must import the wholesome necessary egg, by all means let ns have it from our own people in tbe colonies. " Oar Ormondville correspondent wrillDg under date of the 22nd saya :— The sacred concert given by the Noraewood choir was repeated hera this evening. A previous performance took place on Thursday, December 20, but as that was tbe day before the school concert, and the weather wr •> very wet, there was not so large an attendance as was expected. The pro. ceeds were devoted to payirg off the debt on the organ recently purchased, and as an insufficient mm was raised the membera of the Norsewood choir consented to repeat their programme later on. The weather to night was perfect, and at 8 o'clock tbe ooncert began. Tbe Rev. E, Randerson occupied the chair. Tbe programme was slightly altered and added to. It consisted of eolos by the Misses Braokley, Pebersen, and Maycock, Messrs W. Parsons, M. Gribble, H. Smith, and L. Wright ; a duet and quartette by members of the Norsewood ohoir j several instrumental solos by Mr Ssholes, of Kopua, and a large numt jr of anthems by Ohe choir. Mrs W. Parsons played most of the accompaniments. There was a fair attendance, and the event was one of tbe moat successful from a musical point of view ever given in this district. We have not heard how much was taken at the doors, but hope that a good amount was realised.
