Oct. 28 was observed as Labour Day. The Government offices were closed, and in Wellington and Dunedin processions took place and sports were held. The Eight Hours' Demonstration will not come off in Auckland until Nov. 9. The National Insurance Company - ."? balance-sheet shows that the available balance, including £6953, brought forward, is £23,461, out of which the directors recommend a dividend at the rate of 10 per cent, per annum, and a bonus of 2J per cent, for the year, and carry forward £11, At a meeting of the Cabinet at Wellington on Friday, the 21st October, it was decided to recommend the Governor to remit the remainder of the sentence of the prisoner Jones, who is at present undergoing a sentence of 14 years' penal servitude for shooting a man at Onehunga. Jones has already served about eight years of his term, and during that period his conduct has been of a" very exemplary nature. Mr. James Jones, who is at present in Auckland, claims to have made a number of extraordinary inventions, many of them in the way of perfecting machinery of war. He has had two interviews with Admiral Lord Charles Scott, and he has also seen his Excellency the Governor, Sir George Grey, Colonel Goring, Commandant Fox. Some of these gentlemen have recommended Mr. Jones to proceed to England, where alone he can get his inventions tested. The delegates of the Women's Christian Temperance Union of the United State?, Mrs. Elizabeth Andrews, M.A., and Miss Kate Bushnell, M.D., of Chicago, addressed a largely-attended meeting at the Pitt-street Wesleyan Church on Oct. 26. The two ladies spoke clearly and forcibly on the topics of " Temperance p.nd Social Purity," and created a very favourable impression. They were the guests, at the Pitt-street parsonage, of the Rev. Joseph Berry and Mr.-:. Berry. The long-pending divorce proceedings in which Mr. and Mrs. Joshua, of the Spa, Taupo, are concerned, commenced at Napier on Monday, October 17, in the Supreme Court. Mrs. Joshua seeks for judicial separation, on the ground of her husband's adultery with Miss Keep, of Birmingham, England, and a servant named Tuft, who was in Joshua's service at the Spa and Farndon. Joshua seeks a divorce on the ground of his wife's misconduct with two young men named Kennedy and Anderson. Mrs. Joshua's petition was-taken first. Some letters were put in, written by Tuft to Joshua. They were torn up by him and thrown into the waste paper basket at the Spa, when he left, with instructions that they should be burned. This was nob done. Mrs. Joshua got hold of the pieces, pub them together and gob some fairly complete letters. The hearing of the case occupied the Court several days. The jury found that Joshua had been guilty of adultery with Annie Tuft. A decree was made for judicial separation, and Joshua's petition for divorce dismissed.

There was a good attendance of members and visiting brethren at the monthly communication of Lodge Manukau, No. 24, N.Z.C., held in the lodge-room, at the 1.0.G.T Hall, Onehunga, on on November 1. The routine business included a passing to the F.C. and a raising to the M.M. degree, the ceremonies being ably performed by the R.W.M,, Brother Dunwoodie, assisted by P.M. Brother W. C. Walker and the officers of the lodge. The election of officers for the ensuing twelve months subsequently took place, as follow : —W.M., Brother E. M. Page D.M., Brother W. A.

Hill, During the evening the R.W.M. made a touching reference to the somewhat sudden death of Brother Gabriel Smith, of Mangere, that day, from Bright's disease of the kidneys. The recently-completed annexe to the Museum buildings, Princes-street, was for'mally opened at a conversazione on the evening of Oct. 29, by His Excellency the Governor, in the presence of a very large, fashionI able, and representative assembly. Over 600 invitation cards had been issued, and fully 500 ladies and gentlemen responded. The Council of the. Auckland Institute had made every provision for the comfort and convenience of the guests, and they are to be congratulated upon the complete success of. the opening function. At half-past eight the vice-regal party arrived. They were met by Professor F. D. Brown (president), and the Council of the Auckland Institute,.and conducted to the platform. The party consisted of His Excellency, Lady Glasgow, Miss Hallowes, Lady Augusta Boyle, Lady Alice Boyle, Captain Clayton, and Mr. Gillir.gton. There were also on the platform Professors F. D. Brown, A. P. Thomas and Pond, and Messrs. Cheeseman, J. Martin, T. Peacock, and J. Stewart. Speeches were delivered by Professor Brown and Mr. Thomas Peacock, and after the annexe was declared formally open by Lord Glasgow, the company walked round and inspected the exhibits. The first exhibition of the Waikato Agricultural and Pastoral Association opened on October 26 on the Clandelands racecourse, and was continued on the following day, when there were fully 3000 people on the around. About a-quarter to three the Governor arrived on the ground, having been met with a coach-and-four at Frankfort Junction, and been driven through the town to the Claudelands racecourse. The members of his suite and others came on to the Hamilton East station by the special train. The great event of the day was the Ladies' .lumping Match, over three fences, 3 feet 9 inches high. Three trials were allowed. The first prize, & bracelet, valued at five guineas, given by the gentlemen of Waikato, and second prize, two guineas, given by Mr. H. Howden; third prize, jewellery to the value of one guinea, given by the gentlemen of Waikato. The leans were all taken without a spill, and the ladies were loudly cheered when they took the jumps in good style. The first prize was taken by Mrs. Edward Palling, who rode Laverock ; the second prize was won by Miss Jenny Dykes, on Opawa; and the third prize fell to Miss Walker, who rode Muscatelle. Taken as a whole, and considering that the executive committee were new to their work, this being the first show held in Waikato for the last 12 years, the affair was in every way a great success. ___________________
