October 15.— Since hvt week the weather has

been foil jwirg Mr Paulin's forecasts with startling regularity -ct^le 1 - by no means gentle, he*vy hail ihowers, lir-hming, Ac. To-day it is better, although still rough E.\tertainment6. -The Dobson-Marechel Company have given "The Murder in th« Octagon" und " The Wearin" of the '-Jreen." It is seldom we have a visit from so roo 1 a dramatic company as this, the pieces being pl-iyoo with much evenness and spirit. They dehcive cio wded houses on their tour. Kacinu. — The fcprin r > meeting of the Gora Racing • lub proKiibe-i to l)o :i meit tuccess The number of entries is lms<; (sj), nnd mrvly the weather will have settled down before the 30th. i Pound. — Twice during the past month the serious and unu&ual offeuce of breaking into the public pound and r. moving c.ittle ha* taken place. The perpetrators of thi lawless proceeding may rind thc-m-elves in a more unpleasant position th»n they imagine should they be discovered. Tardy Reward —An oH couple uamed Grace have for some time been reading in a little place en the r.ver bank, and getting a living the best way they could. Last week old Mrs Gmci died rather suddenly, leaving her paitner, who had been apparently the weaker of the two. •■Jracc served through the Crimean war, and then through the still more awful [ndj-in mutiny, and for year* has been in almost daily expectation of an allowance from the compas«ionate fund. S i all as this allow*. ance waß, fourpence rt day, it has never reached him yet. In these days of telegraphs, telephones, 25 knot steamers, railway races aud bicycles, thin seems v bit slow. And it leaves the nasty suspicion that the shameful if not crim : n >l bungling and incompstency which char-act. •■< d the miserable Russian campaign may still exi:t in the public departments responsible. Horse Parade. —The blustering weather had thy offect of making the parade smaller than usual, but 11 horses turned up on the A. and P. ground. The public could take little part in the proceedings owing to the weather, but some horses of undoubted excellence were shown. , There were 21 entries.
