A. Atkinson, H. F. Morris, W.F Willis, T. G. Williams, E.Codfieldjß. L. Roche], and W. G Malone. Tho local representatives at the late N.Z.R A meeting are loud in praise of tho kind treatment leceivod at tlio hands of members of tho Napier Working Men's Club. The building is not only commodious, but ornamental in design, and is fitted up with every convenience. Tho weights for the Wanganui Cup and Flying Handicaps aro duo on Tuesday next, February 3rd, with tho Secretary, Mr Freeman R. Jaclson. Nominations for first and eecond Handicap Hurdles, the Welter, and Nursery Handicap*, aro duo the same evening, Mr Jiuios Cat tell, local manag«r of the N«w Zealand Insuranco Company, received yesterday a copy of the largo photographic group presented to Mr G. P. Pierco, tho general manager at Auckland, at tho recent annual meeting. The card meaames three feet by about two feet three inches, and on the contie is a first-class photo of tho recipient, while at the head is the inspector, and artistically grouped arc tho twolvo Now Zealand branch managers. As a work of photographic skill, the picture will compare most favourably with anything dono in the colony, and although the photos aro only copies of the originals they aro really excellent. A clever little combination entitled " the Midgets," who have been performing with success along the coast, commences a season at the Oddfellows' Hall on Monday evening. Criticising a late performance, the Manawatu Standard says :— Great interost was as usual centred in tho Midgets, tho General keeping the audience thoroughly amused by his songs, etc., which wore vigorously encored. To give the audience an idea oC their actual size tho Midgets promenaded the whole length of the body of tho hall, and astonished a great many, as they appeared lo bo much larger when seated or standing on the stage. Tho next part of tlio performance was taken up by Dr Canaris, Greeklllusionist. Many conjurors have at various times paid this colony a visit, but none have shown greater ekill than Dr. Cauaris. His tiicks aro neat and the new ones especially are both skilful and interesting. Although labouring under tho disadvantage ofibeing a foreignor, he ban the facility of keeping his audience thoroughly amused, both. ;n; n conversation and lepaitce. Songs were contributed during the evening by Miss Oliva Berkloy, her double-voiced singing being loudly applauded. Wo must noc forget to mention tho pianoforte selections played in a supeiior manner by Miss Spillcr, of Wellington, a clever httte artisto aged 12 years, who bids fair to become a thorough inistrets of the instrument. Wo can honestly recommend the performance to all those who havo not yet 6een it. Mr Frank Ashley, business agent, arrived in town this morning to make all arrangements for tho appearance of the Midgets on Mond.iy. j? few things worth Snowing : — That borax and brown sugar are one of the best cures for Cattarrh j a strong lemon squash, taken at bed-timo, is one ot the best things in the world for Colds j a dose of qmniua will cure the Colic or Cramp at any time; that a roasted onion poultice on the throat j and chest is a sure cure for *'roup and Bronchitis ia children ; that tho common bhek (dark green) field thistle will euro Neuralgia when all other remedies fail; Hint a syrup made from the prickly pear is one of the best cough syrups known, and has no equal for Whooping Cough,; that common baking soda applied to Burns and Scalds gives instantaneous relief ; That an eminont physician cures every case of scarlet fever with nothing else but warm lemon squash and gum arable; that anyone suffering from Corns oi Bunyons will find a certain cure by wearing CrichtonandNewman's Boots and Shoes. — Aevj. Wolfe's schnapps 40 years before the public. Buy original unopened bottle. — Abvt. The importance of being photographed should be recognised by both young and old. Evoryone should bo photographed, not necessarily for themselves, but for the sake of relations and friends. It is desirable, too, that tho picture sbould be a good likeness, as well as a permanent photograph. It is important, therefore, to employ a photographer on whom reliance can be placed. In order to produce good work, not only experience and skill are requited, but a number of costly instruments are necessary. Mr A. Maitin, of Wanganui, can, with confidence, undertake work in any branch of photography. — Advt.
