Carlyle, Tuesday.

The ordinary monthly meeting of the Harbor Board was held yesterday; the chairman, Mr. G. F. Sherwood, gave an account of what he had done on behalf of the Board during his visit to Wellington. His endeavors, not immediately fruitful, are likely to have good results in the future. A vote of thanks was unanimously accorded tojhim. It was decided that the chairman call a special meeting, if necessary, on completion of the breakwater contract, which is likely to take place shortly. Under the auspices of the Patea District Agricultural and Pastoral Association, a parade of entire horses will take place here on Saturday first. A gooi show is expected. The Patea Cadets' ball came off on Friday evening, in the Town Hall, and proved a grand success. The hall was crowded to excess by children, with their parents and friends, and dancing was carried on with spirit until about 12 o'clock. When the young people retired, the dancing was kept up by their seniors till an early hour. The decorations were tasteful, the supper sumptuous, and the arrangements altogether reflect great credit on the Cadets.

The Clyde arrived here yesterday afternoon, fetching a further contingent of twenty of the Wellington iinemployed, to be engaged on the main line of railway. They were sent forward to the camp at Manutahi, on Mr. J. Burkes farm. There are" about fifty men stationed there now. At the monthly meeting of the Town Board, Mr. Sherwood proposed the formation of a street from Taranaki road to the river — through the hospital paddock, his object being to plant a belt of timber the whole length as a protection to the town against the prevailing winds. There was no seconder, and the motion fell to the ground. It was decided to take the gradients off- Dorset street from Taranaki road to the hospital. Mr. Owen McKittrick'a application for » license ior the new Central Hotel, from Ist October, was granted by the Licensing Bench.

At the R.M. Court last week, Mr. John Whelan, secretary of the Ancient Order of Foresters, was summoned under the Friendly Society's Act for neglecting to send statistical returns to the RegistrarGeneral, as required by the Act, and was fined the minimum penalty, 20s. and costs. Mr. G. D. Hamerton defended. The Lodge was re-constituted in March last. It had previously been in an almost abnormal state of existence, through falling off in membership. Mr. W. Dixon has removed to his old shop, opposite the Courthouse, having disposed of his ironmongery business to Mr. Foreman, Manutahi. Mr. Dixon will carry on the painting and paperhanging business as usual.- •
