The Wuirarapa Crick®! Association in now nn accomplished fact. There are \ matches are handicaps. Some of the clubs have 15 players allowed them by the match committee. The first match lakes place ou November 17th. It is scarcely necessary to remind our readers that Hobson’s now famous Hoyal Navy Panorama will be shown at the Public Hal), Pahiatua, to-night. The large now stage which lias recently been built will enable Mr Hobson to make a much grander scenic display than hi»* previously been possible. The scenes, of which there are nearly a hundred, will till the . tags from top to bottom, so that ihe ships and guns will appear of goodly proportions, and as the colors are both brilliant and natural, the exhibition will be an artistic treat. Mr Hobson is now well-known as a thoroughly elficient j lecturer and is well up in ins subject. As ] the entertainment is undoubtedly genuine, 1 the prices low and the subject novel, as well as beiug suited to young and old, there should be no dilliculty in securing a packed house.

At the Pahiatua Band Ball on Friday

evening a very pleasing ceremony too* place, advantage being taken of the oonsion by the ladies wiio have been attending the weekly dances to present Mr 1 . Holder, the energetic secretary, with a couple of very choice presents, consisting of a gold scarf pin and a photographic album. Captain Pickering made toe pit entation, and said it gave him great pleasure to make the presentation, as he fully appreciated the untiring energy displayed by the recipient, to whose efforts j was due in a great measure the su'-cesa of the assemblies. He had much pleasure in handing the presents to Mr Holder (applause). Mr Holder replied in very suitable terms, saying that he was taken by surprise, aud that lie would value the presents, which would remind him of very many enjoyable evenings spent with the ladies and members of the band. He ex pressed a hope that he would have the opportunity of being present next season, when an endeavor would be made to have the entertainments on a more extensive scale (cheers). Mis Yaks, Mayor of Onehuaga, has definitely decided to make a lecturing tour of Australia. The Waihi mine, Upper Thames, obtained £785 worth of bullion from 2100 tons ore for 28 days’ work. The gate receipts at the Master ton Agricultural and Pastoral Society’s show last Thursday amounted to over £lO2 odd. The French Chamber oi Deputies is ’being specially guarded, owing to the repot: d attempt of Anarchists to destroy it

by dynamite. A boiler exploded on board the French ■ cruiser Arethuse during a trial trip at Greet, and 20 oi the crew were killed and several wounded. The Wellington Acclimatisation Society has received about £193 for fishing licenses issued up to 'late this season, of which £BS worth were taken out in Mas terton. The Sterling Cheese Factory in Otago p.iid i.*4,711 for milk last year, being at : 1 • rate of td per callow. The factory ilso paid a dividend of 10 per cent to its reholders.

W rites th - Martin borough correspondent of the Wuirarapa Standard:—Mr lee oar uew schoolmaster is likely to become very popular here as he evidently liken to be amongst the people ” and not hold himseli aloof. We see by the Pahiatua papers that when he was leading that place tiie ch«*« and oraughts club made him a presentation, the Literary and Debating Society elected him n life member and tendered him * farewell social, the cliildren of the school presented him with a teapot and rervietle r.ng*. and the boy scholars cheered him to tbs eche. while girls struck up Auld Lang Syne. The members of the Anglisan Church gave h:m and Mrs a farewell social, when the lUv H. Davis, the Hev W. Phillip, and oilier* spoke most highly of them, expressed the deepest regret at parting from them. A presentation was also made to Mrs Lee by the ladies of the district. With such * letters of introduction.’ Mr and Mrs Lee should be warmly welcomed by any community. We understand. however, tnai the Board purposes housing them in n kind of s inerior dog fennel, with enough room in r. to twra about and knock things off the shelves. Surely it is an unwis# policy to be so economical in hoase room. It must he added to at a later date, and at greater expense. If a teacher s rea deaee ia to be erected, in the name of common sense wuy net put up a structure fi; for people to live in. iu the first instance ? The total revenue on the Government railways for the four-weeld|j period trading September 16th, 1894. was AT 1.465 9e 6d. aad the expenditure A5b.806 6*. The figures for the corresponding period last year were : Revenue. ATT.I4O 13s 5d ; and the expenditure. £54,567 4s lid. The revenue on tht Wellington section for the period was £4,579 19* Bd, and tnsexpenditure £3,898 4s 7d.

So well are the Nuie grass hats mads that the Maoris tLenise*ves are deceived by them. They are light, coni, and the most comfortable hat for hot w»ather. and only cost a tithe cf the price of the Ms on hat*. Trewby Bros, have a large selti non of Panama. Nuie grave, aad straw hats. Hats in fact to suit everybody. Wbat is thought of n man who pays 25 per cent more for an article that come* from a large centre than be could get the same for in hit own village. We think tht- general verdict would be that he hae more money than he knows what to do with. If you want te save 25 per rent and jet a well-fitting suiteqnal tcanything you have had the pleasure of wearing, go to Trewbv brothers. You will get as good a suit there for £3 3e a* other tailors sharge £5 5s for. Support local industry.
