There was a very large and representative attendance at the Carterton bhow Grounds yesterday, the occasion being the sale of Mr 1) McMaster’s herd of pure bred shorthorns, the whole of which weie disposed of, the competition fur some being particularly keen. The sale commenced with the young bulls—the first offered, a ten months old calf, Glenroy by Count U nderley being knocked down at 32 guineas ; fair prices were averaged throughout the sale. Heifers going up to 28 guineas, top price for cows being 28 guineas. Both Mr McMaster and Mr Wood (the auctioneer entrusted with the sale), are to be congratulated ou the result, not more so, however, than the purchasers, who had at a comparatively small outlay, been enabled to secure some of the best and purest strains of shorthorn cattle to be found in New Zealand. It is also a grand thing for the district, the effect of which will be seen in a few years by the improvement in the class of stock reared. Mr McMaster has certainly done more in this direction than any other settler, Doctors Gave Him Up.—“ Is it possible that Mr Godfrey is up and at work, and cured by so simple a remedy?” ‘I assure you it is true that he is entirely cured, and with nothing but Am.

The amateurs do not wish to make any money by their performances, is ml ore only 100 pleased to gratuitously render their services for the entertainment of the public during the dull and uneventful winter mouths, but all they expect is that these entertainments will be self supporting and that the members do not plunge their hands too deep m their pockets, us well as give their t lurgios towards the matter. The Club has come fotw ird on many occasions for the benefit of loe d institutions and if an entertainment or two is unnnged for the nuipose of milking up deficiencies surely they can rely im the support of their fellow towns'people, providing they cater for public at popular prices. At the recent meeting a very hearty vote of thanks was passed to the ■ inly amateurs for their valuable assistance.
