The monthly meeting of the Borough Council will be held to-night. There was a clean sheet at the Police Court this morning.

It has been truly said that "in the multitude of counsellors there is wisdom" therefore it may bo safely inferred thero is much wisdom we so often hear expressed, and by so many, to tho effect that there aro few teas which equal and none which excel thoso of tho Empire Tea Company.

Mrs Goldwater, on behalf of the committeo who managed tho Fancy Dress Ball on Friday evening last, requests us to thank all thosh who so kindly contributed in money and kind to tho supper table and in other ways ; also tho press, and Mr Avcry, and Mr W. A. King for gratuitous advertising and printing ; also Major Ellis, who, on behalf of the trustees, allowed tho free uso of tho Drill Shed for practices.
