NAPIER NOTES.

(by telegraph.) (own correspondent.) This Day. MiM Bogle, of Hastings, has received a letter of thanks from Dr Barnardo for the eheqne for £92 recently sent home from Hastings as a contribution towards the Home for waifs and strays. The weather still continues fine, and it is expected there will be a very large attendance at the inter-provincial football match Wellington v. Hawkes’ Bay, which takes place in the Recreation Ground tomorrow afternoon. The visitors arrive by t r ain to-night, will bo entertained at dinner on Saturday evening, and return home on Monday morning. It is very bard to say what the probable result of the match will be, a great many fancying Hawkes Bay. Ths Sports Committee appointed to mske all necessary arrangemeDts for the Demonstration Day, intend to offer £IOO is prizes. This should induce great competition amongst athletes, who generally go into training when there is anything worth going for. I hear that it is intended to form a Farmer’s Club in Hastings shortly. The date of the preliminary meeting has not yet been fixed, bat due notice will be given. Many advantages will accrue to farmers through the establishment of such a club, which will have for one of itß objects the advancement of agriculture in all its branches, and the securing of markets for locally grown produce. Two laboring men named Georgo Hnrloy end John Roche get into trouble last jight. Hurley was arrested for drunken,o»e, and violently resisted. His companion obstructed the constable, who thistled for another policeman, and two afficera of the law with great difficulty pot their men to the station. This morn iig one was fined 29s and costs, and the direr £3 and costs, or a month. ■ The Railway Commissioners have forlaardedI aarded a circular to the mechanics and logineersof the Napier Railway Work9drops, to the effect that owing to the I patent unsettled state of labor in New ■filland, they cannot afford to give them ■i fall week’s work, and that in future ■hay will only be required to work four ■fays in tho week. In consequence of ■tb, ell the men employed in the shops ■hocked off work last night until Monday ■horning. Mr W. C. Smith is advocating lb the House that firewood be used as ■hr! on the Napier line of railway instead Id tool. ■ k special meeting of the Napier Wharf laborers' Union is convened for three I'rlock this afternoon, but I do not know ■hit business is to come up for transac■oo. It is probably in connection with ■kitrike. I lire members of the Railway Servants ■holy, numbering 200, have decided to ■thdraw all support from the Daily Tele--1 Irap/i newspaper on account of its persis--1 i Intopposition to tho cause of unionism.
