It is rather too early for the Jubilee Celebration Committee to make definite arrangements for the disposal of each day of the Jubilee week. When tho time comes, however, it will be well to take into account that there are various tasteß to be consulted, and it may be wise in some cases to double-bank the amusements. Eor instance, there is to bo racing during two days, and there is certain to be a large attendance on the course. But thero are a great many people who do not care for racing, and some who have an active dislike to it. In addition there are children and others who cannot be expected to go to races. Ib is nob likely thab the city will be entirely deserted on the race days, and perhaps the Committee will see the •wisdom of providing some amusement

for those who choose, or are compelled, to remain in town. In other cases it will be proper, as far as possible, to consult diversity of tastes, tt will bo a considerable time before the details of tho celebration can bo settled, but no doubt the Committee will do its best to secure as wide a diffusion of enjoyment as its means will allow.

Owing to tha illness of tho Ray. F. W. ißitt, tha next debate of tha Nelson Debating Sooiety has been adjourned until Friday, the 19th inst. Mb R. I.

The Westport Nens sr.ys :— Captain Leech received a cable message from Glasgow, announcing the dis'ressing news of the death of drowning of his son Josias.
