The Hamilton Rifle Cadets arc requested to parade at the Volunteer Hall this evening, at 7 30 p.m. The Premier has telegraphed to Mr Groenslade that before leaving Wellington ho had approved of a loan of £OOOO for the Ngaruawahia-Raglan road. The poll for the loan of £1.0,000 taken on Wednesday at Cambridge, was carried by a majority of 70, tho voting being : —For, 162 ; against, 90; informal, 1. Mr G. Day, of Tamahore, the well-known Jersey breeder, loaves for Wanganui on Monday next to judge the Jersey' and dairy classes in tlie forthcoming show to be bold at that centre. Messrs Davis and Co. have a large entry for to-morrow’s sale of household furniture. As the owner is leaving tho district, everything is for sale without reserve. Details are given in the usual column. To enable the Hamilton public to hear the address of the Premier this evening. Father Darby bus decided to delay the opening of tho fair till 10 p m., when, we understand, it will bo visited by the Premier. The art union will be drawn to-morrow evening. Those N.C.O.’s and men of the A Squadron who are attending the local school of military instruction are reminded that the class will bo continued on Saturday next, when Captain Bell will give instruction in tho use of the theodolite at 2 p.m., and will lecture on “Mathematics as Applied to Military Surveying ” at 8 p.m. A wire received this morning states that the loan of £909 for tho Fencourt Drainage Board has been approved by the Government. This will enable the board to get to work provided a vote of £OOO is available from the Lauds tor Settlement vote, as no special vote for the purpose has been put on the Supplementary Estimates. On Tuesday next Messrs McNicol and Co. will yard upwards of 700 bond of well-bred cattle at their Obaupo sale, including 200 three and three and a-half year steers, also 50 well-bred bulls from local breeders. On Wednesday and Thursday, 15th and IGth inst., tho firm hold their annual Hamilton horse fair and will offer 400 horses representing all classes, amongst them being some really good draughts. Tho Taupo Totara Timber Com pauy’s railway lino, extending 52 miles southward from Putaruru to the Mokai forest, was formally opened on Saturday. Tho directors returned to Putaruru on Wednesday by a special train loaded with 70ft piles. The journey from Mokai occupied a little over four hours, and in many places a speed of over 22 miles an hour was attained. Everything in connection with tho ceremony worked smoothly, and the directors are highly pleased with the result. Mr Taylor, M.A., the third candidate for the Waikato seat, was present on the showground, Hamilton, yesterday, and addressed an open-air meeting. Ho made no secret of the fact tbat he and Mr Greenslade were the best of friends ; “ And why should we be, anyhow?” lie asked; for every vote 1 get is iu his favour.” Ho caused great amusement amongst the boys, whom he invited to a second address to bo given on Saturday night. “Come and hear me speak, boys ” said ho, with the utmost good humour, “and we will have a good time afterwards.”

At Waiapu on Wednesday Mr David Lang had a somewhat sensational experience. Ho, with several others, were driving a mob of cattle to the saleyards, when a Jersey bull became obstreperous and dashed into some thick scrub by the roadside. Mr Lang dismounted in order to dislodge the animal, when it charged him and bore him to tho earth. The other men immediately wont to his assistance, but it proved a matter of considerable difficulty to attract the beast’s attention from its victim. When Mr Lang was eventually extricated it was found that he had sustained several broken ribs and was much bruised. Our To Kowhai correspondent writes:—lt is surprising to think how this district has grown and changed since the last election. Fully half the farms have changed bauds and there are about 30 more voters on the electoral roll than there were three years ago. The school is filled to overflowing, and, no doubt will soon have to bo enlarged ; and whereas throe years ago tho school was largo enough for our socials and dances, now it takes our now hall all its time to accommodate the crowds that come. Great preparations are iu hand for our bazaar and gift auction on tho 22nd inst. If it turns out the success we fondly hope our hall fund will benefit to an appreciable extent. A BLESSING UNAPPRECIATED One of the greatest blessings a modest man can wish fur is a good reliable set of bowels. If you are not tho happy possessor of such an outfit you can greatly improve the efficiency of those you have by the judicious use of Chamberlain’s Stomach and Liver Tablets. They are pleasant to take and agreeable in effect. For sale by AV. Dcy (Hamilton), Thos. Wells (Cambridge i, Geo. M. A. Ahier (To Awamutu) Green and Colebrook (Ngaruawahia) L. do L, Ward and Co.
