The Waikato Beukje need only wait for the erection of the Hamilton townships into a borougi. as the sum, of -.3,000 is at once available towards the work as the contribution inF aid.^fot^fttovernment.' A sum of -3300' has likewise been sec aside for a contribution m aid- of the proposed bridge at the Narrows between Hamilton and Cambridge. Tub Whata Whit a Sfobtb will be held on Tuesday next, the 7th iaet.^ As wiU be seen by advertisement elsewhere, an excellent programe of both -torse and foot sports nas been -provided for,, the occasion. The P. S. Waikato , 7 leaves' -tfgaraawahia on Tuesday moniing at 8 o clock, returning from Whata 'Whata after the races.. Thb Gbeat Vabiety Teootb, whioh numbers amongst its -'members' some comio and instrumental singers' of colonial celebrity, made its. oppearanoe last night to a full house m Le Quesne's Hall, Hamilton, East, and will perforin 1 again 'to night m the same place. Mr. J. Tennarde was great m his negro dilineation^i, and fairly convulsed the audience. The troupe will play on Friday and Saturday m West Hamilton, and go on to Cambridge for Monday. Petty Pufeeino from goods placed upon the wharf at Haniilton has for some - time past been carried on with impunity. One reason why Hamilton "has been so 1 badly supplied with firewood has been ' that persons have given up the specula- * tion of getting up barge loads for retail, as the quantity taken away by night from the wood stacks more than eat up the ' profits. Mr. J. K. McDonald has, we see, ■ advertised a reward of five pounds for any > one giving suoh information as wiU lead [■ to the oonviotion of the thieves. The Tb Awamutu __J_fi-BRTAnra_-_OT of 1 to morrow night is being looked forward ' to by the residents of that locality with i considerable interest, as the remainder of , the goods left over from the late bazaar \ and gifts auotion will then be disposed of, and the debt on the Public Hall be still ' further appreciably lessened. The enter* * tainment will consist of both concert and ' > dance, and as it is the only entertainment of the kind taking place this week m 1 Waikato, is likely to be most successful, ' . the more so perhaps as oome firat-olaiß . musical ability has been secured for the occasion. At the meeting of the Education Board, held on Friday, there is only one matter of interest to the Waikato, relating to the ■ Paterangi School. The report says "In ' chis case sums of money had been voted for fencing the ground round the school and other purpgs§B, It turned out, how--3 ever, that the school building was not on * fche property of the Board, hut on pro- > perty which was under the control of trustees. Hie position was very much the same as that of Woodside. The Board , * had come to a decision that no further assistance should be given for alterations, \ &c, m suoh oases. Sbbious Gunshot Accident.— Dr. Waddington returned yesterday from the Piako, to wHoR'-place he had been hastily. •■■ summoned on Monday- to attend the little son of Mr. McGlashan, who had been , accidently wounded by his brother that morning. It appears that. Master John * McGlashan fired at a fowl, and did not * know that his brother and Mr; T. G. - Sondes were m a line with the bird, at a , distance of only a dozen yards, hidden from his sight by the drooping .branches of a willow. .The prinoipaLpart of the ■ charge waa received by the Uttle brother, taking effect over the face, chest -and . stomach. Several of the pellets, number \ eight shot, hit Mr, T f G f ..gaj_des upon the head and face and aim, being buried ■ deeply m the muscles. Dr. Waddington * has formed a favourable opinion of the , little hoys' case, f or -althottgh very seriously injured ahd suffering from the shock given ?o the nervous system, it would appear that none ;bf -the shots have perforated the lungs or stomach. The spitting of blood reported on Tuesday was caused by some two or three of the pellets striking the ek^eek and taking a downward course into the mouth., C__-i_B__-rQEFAEMB-t- , C-.yß. The foliowi ing notices of motion, made at the meeting of the Cambridge Farmers' Club, on the 18th inst,, and report of other business were crowded out from last issue. Mr. H. A. C, Fergusson gave notice that he would move at the next meeting that this club hold its monthly meetings at 2 o'clock on the Saturday afternoon before the full moon, Mr, Brooks gave notice that at the next meeting he would move ; that a committee be appointed to revise the rules. Mr. Clarke gave notice that at the next meeting he would propose that members having candiates to propose for membership submit their names to the committee before 5 o'clock on the evening of the monthly meeting. The names of several new members having been approved by the Committee, notice was given that they would be balloted for at the next meeting, A rather desultory discussion then arose as to the advisability of erecting a shed for members to put their horses m, and whether some "one should be got/to live on the ground, and take charge of the plaoe * also, as to what was to be done with the yards, from the show. This discussion was postponed till next meeting, and the. President left the chair. . . " ; . ' .
