CARTERTON.

From Our Own Correspondent. Thursday. A meeting of the Carterton Volunteer Fire Brigade was held in the Brigade Station, last evening, Captain Lumley presiding over a good attendance of members. The committee appointed to consider the purchase of a piano for the social room at the station reported that one had been purchased for Ml. The committee also reported the purchase of furniture for the men's quarters. The resignation of Fireman E. Hall, who has left Carterton, was accepted. Letters were received from the Marton and Martinborough brigades thanking the local brigade for its hospitality at the opening of the new station. It is Mr Angove, of Belvedere, who has entered the Wellington Hospital to undergo an operation, and not MiEagle, as previously stated by me. Two more cases of scarlet fever were sported to the authorities today. The patients reside in Anderson's Line. Horses are to be seen in training on the Taratahi-Carterton Racing Club's course at Clareville every morning. The meeting this year will doubtless eclipse its predecessors. One new member was initiated into the Order of Foresters at the fortnightly meeting held last evening.
