The Banks in the Wairarapa will be closed to-day. _ The Thistle Lodge S. C. meets this evening at the Empire Hotel. Mr W. Kibblewhite advertises the Temperance Hotel to let, or for sale. Messrs lorns and Fergusson announce a general sale of furniture to be held in the Town Hall on Saturday next, at 2 p.m. We notice Mr R Donald, the contractor for the Waingawa Railway Bridge, has commanced work, and has already" a row of piles driven. To-night the Carterton Volunteers give a soiree, which, we expect, will be largely attended. They have made every possible arrangement for tho comfort and enjoyment of patrons, A grand soiree, in connection with the Masterton Borough Cricket Club, is announced for Friday 28th inst, The Greytown Volunteers fire a match on Saturday next, married v single, single are the favorites so far.

A meeting of the Greytown Horticultural Society will be held on Saturday at 2.30 to appoint judges, stagers, and others for the forthcoming show. The contractor for the extension of footway m the Greytown Borough is making progress, and will soon set the Kising Sun off to greater advantago (if possible) than hitherto.

Publicans beware (and sinners, too). Un Saturday night two overcoats and two waterproofs were taken from an hotel in Greytown. One waterproof was subsequently found, but no trace of the other has been discovered,

An accident happened at the railway works at Woodside on Saturday last to an engineer named Chapham. It appears that while working the engine the flywheel suddenly flew off, striking the man on the knee, arm, and face, breaking his arm, and otherwise injuring him ° He was conveyed to the Wairarapa Hospital, Greytown, where lie remains, and is progressing as favorably as possible, Strangers going into Greytown cannot be very much struck with the care bestowed upon the main street by the Borough Council or their overseer' in the matter of keeping the waterway clear of weeds. We have some faint recollection that the last clearing cost the Council some eighteen or twenty pounds. The next is likely to cost as much or more, whereas a few hours labor now and then would keep them down. A meeting of the Masterton Botwh Cricket Hub was held at the Club Hotel last evening. Present-Messrs Wardcll J llhams, Hawthorn, Hogan, and Jowitt. The following team was chosen to play Featherston on Saturday :-Mcssrs Ward Hawthorn, Harrison, Johnstone, Edmunds, Green, Iggulden.
