She or Eacing Stock. — We observe that Mr : Pelham Jones purpoßbsto dispose of all his . . we. 11-kno wn race horses .and hunters.: They are. to be. submitted ,to public .auction by Mr Rickman, at, ,Studholiae Junction, on the 3rd March. ' •■ The VxrßTijc AxTDTSsm. — Mr John Olliver, Provincial District Auditor, is now m Timaru engaged ' in ' examining the accounts of ] the . Harbor Board for ; the last' year-. 1 ' On completing this work he will go tbrough.the boots of fche^ Education Bor<rd. : : ' • -.'tt&i'- BEBAKWATEB.^-Me3srs Jones and Peters started filling m 'an6ther monolith y'eaferclay . at ternoon and, : finished it Jate, last night. This will bo the lost that can be laid on the blocks now down, andias soon, as if is set the work of laying foundation blocks will ,be again proceeded with. ■ ' . Ope, Waterworks.— By the s.a. Beautiful Star, which arrived from Dunedin yesterday morning, tho Timaru Borcugh Council received tho water pipes, connections, etc., which were ordered a few . nonths ago from Messrs Laidlaw, ,Sons and Came, of ; Glasgow.

These districts are Orari Bridge, Waihao, Hook, and Opihi. Nbw Buildings. — Good progress is being iEade with the erection of Messrs Moody and Ziealor's buildings opposite the Postro(Rce. The scaffolding has been removed, and 'tho front presents a very ligh; and pleasing appearance. The end views, however, are poor. A parapet, even a. low one, to hide the junction of tho high roof with tho end walla would have made a great improvement. A Pnj-pbooi? Fence.— Messrs Stansell Brothers, who are now the proprietors of the Acme Barb Wire Factory, are turnings put amongst other samples :i galvanised b,arbeu wire specially, adapted for mating pig r proof fencjfi, by putting on the vires twice as, many barW as usual, so that tfyey are only about threo inches .apart. The extra cost is only about SA a ton, or between 3s ahd.4s a chain. A pig doe's net stop at (arifles, but two or threb of these wires would be no trifle to rush through. : Grain Asbnoy.— Mr A. iff.

After going •through their usual contortions, they freely indulged m tho waipero. We' noticed a -ntttaber-of-ytnmg-girls drinking freoly." We need hardly say that it if quito illegal to sell drink to Maoris ; but. jt ii a: curious fact. that while there is a tremendous fuss made about tho i moat trifling breaoh :of tho liquor laws m the Middle Island, they aro practically a dead letter m the North Island, where thefre is much more necessity tot a strict application of (hem. i Kksidrkt Magistrate's Court, TisiAßr;. — rAt this Court • yesterday the following casas wore dealt with by i;he Kesident Magistrate :—&. : E.
