Mr Qradcock has sold out his business as j a boarding-house keeper to Mr Hawkings, j of Mitohelltown, near Wanganui, who en- j tevs into possession on the first, of next i month. Mr Hawkings has had previous experience in this line of business. The tram was over two hours late on Friday, having been detained by a truck getting derailed near Lind's mill. So many young men are carting and driving now, who seem wholly unaware of the Aot relating to their trade- that it may save them some bother and expense if we quote it for their benefit. In England there is what was known as the " rule " of the road, in this colony it is set out in the Police Offences Act, 1883, and is as follows: — "Who drives any vehicle Whatever or rides any animal and, when meeting any other vehicle or, animal, does not keep on the left or nearside of the road or street, or, when passing any other vehicle or animal going in the same direction, does not go or pass, or does not allow any person desirous so to do to pass, when practicable, on the right or off side of suoh other vehicle or animal, is liable to a penalty not exceeding ten pounds. It is very likely that one of tbe owners of the «• Ajax " mill will reside in this district, 60 as to take a more active part inthe ; superintendance of his property. Mr Daniell has parted with all his interest in the Soho hemp mill to Messrs McMillan, Rhodes & Co, who will for the future undertake the finance of the muTJfor the benefit of the other shareholders in .this property. The Wellington Racing Club have decided to have only five days racing eaoh year, holding a spring meeting of two days in November, a summer meeting of two . days in February, and a steeplechase in ■ July. The Club appointed Mr J. 0. Evett as their handicapper. We remind our readers that Messrs Stevens & Gorton hold a sale of stock at the Sandon sale yards on Friday next. The twin contractor is contemplating running a train on Saturdays to connect with the midday Government train at Carnarvon, thus enabling settlers all along th. line being able to visit Foxton. The Wanganui herald furnishes a copy of the cost of sending 382 fat wethers to London by Messrs Freeman Jackson & Co. The sheep netted 15s 9|d each. .....The accused McNanghty, in what is - known as the Bulls abduction cave, was committed for trial, the Bench being of opinion that' a clear prima tocie case had been made out. Th. school at Manakau is growing, and the Wellington Education Board are calling for tenders for the erection of an additional class room. The ontting up ot the Oroua Down estate is already providing work, as Mr McLennan ia calling for tenders for felling and stunip- ' ing 164 chains of bush for a road' line. '• enderers Will be shown over the work on Friday, and tenders most be in 'by noon of , Monday next. We mentioned, aome months ago, that a , * tag was seen in the Fitzherbert district. It may be interesting to knew tha.t he was 1 Will satisfied .With his visit- of inspection, - and has decided to take up a run in. that . part.. A week, or so ago he left for the WairaraMy l^j l?as^now re^orpfld with a doe. 'we are not surprised at his selection, ; astb^eoimrry ifteYCellenf; but had he to pay rates he would find them heavy. 1 An assistant cook, who must he a steady -■ man, is wanted at the Oroua Downs estate. 1 A good ploughman is wanted by Mr J.

The, customs authorities therefore prohibited their landing here, and the oases were taken on to Sydney. Mv Kivkwood has taken four very nice photographs of the s.s. Huia as she laiq stranded on the river beach last Sunday* The views show the steamer in different positions and at different state of the tides. On Sunday crowds of people went down to the beach, some riding, some driving. | others walking. Foxton is undoubtedly fortunate in having such a grand outlet, as ; on a beautiful day there is nothing so bracing as an hour or two on the beach. The Pahiatua Star learns on good an* thor ity that another special settlement, is, about to be established in that 1 district. The block will Comprise 2000 aoresi and |t is situated at the, back of : the WoodviUe, Maugabao., extending to the Forest Beserve. Mr" Hartstone is the promoter, km : the > holdings' are intended exclusively for Akaroa men. Special settlements so far havo not been a success in this district, but the one under notioe promises to be an exception, inasmuch aa the land will be allotted only to those who require it for immediate settlement, Already there are a sprinkling of Akaroa men in the district, and they are of; the right stamp. .
