The only business transacted at the Resident Magistrate's Court held at Hamilton yesterday, before Captain Jackson, R.M., was the taking of the evidence of Mr A.

W- Slade will preach the annual missionary sermon at Hamilton Weslcyan Church 011 Sunday next at II a.m., and lecture on " Fiji Mission Work" on Monday evening at 7.30. Such a lecture from one engaged in the work should draw a large attendance, and call forth a good collection in aid of the mission funds.

Our cable news last night points to a very decided upward tendency m the wheat market. The Resident Magistrate (Captain ( .Jackson) will hold a sitting of his court at Raglan on Monday next. Mr W- S. Allen, Annandale, will return to New Zealand by the middle of <■ October in time to take part in the ensuing r elections. s A general meeting of the mem- » bers ot the Hamilton Football Club will be i held in The Waikato Times Buildings on I Tuesday evening at o'clock sharp. a The annual election of three coun- ' cillors for the Borough of Cambridge will take place on Thursday, 11th September ; •- nominations to be in by Monday week.

We clip the following from the Thames Advertiser, as it might be a hint to those footballers in Waikato who play so roughly "At a meeting of the Thames Rugby Union last (Tuesday) evening, A. Gerraty, captain of the Nelson II Club, was disqualified for the remainder of the season for rough play during the Nelson IIRover contest on Saturday last. R. Nicolai, for the same offence, was oautioned. a The attention of those requiring dairy cows of a first-class stamp is directed to the list of cattle to be offered on account of Mr T. K. Dodd by Mr W. J. Hunter at the Hamilton Borough Yards on Wednesday, Seplember 17th, and which will bo found in Mr Hunter's usual column. They comprise a large number of pure and half-bred Ayrshire stock, and cows of this breed are especially suitable for factory work, being notoriously heavy milkers. On Tuesday night, Mr Hyatt, of Cambridge West, brought to a close the first session of his " Chemistry and Agriculture" Class. The members, Rev. C. H. Garland being spokesman, expressed their gratitude to Mr Hyatt, for his profitable lectures and interesting experiments, and regretted that the membership had been so small. Mr Hyatt announced that the next session would open about April next. It is to be hoped the young men of the district will appreciate this coming opportunity for self-culture. A son of Mr Cameron, the wellknown railway guard, met with a nasty accident yesterday, at Cambridge, but fortunately serious consequences are not anticipated. The lad attends the Cambridge public school, and during the dinner hour was playing a game called stag hunt, in which he was running, minus his shoes and stockings, when he trod on a broken bottle, which lacerated his right foot in a terrible manner, laying bare the bone. The wound bled a great deal, which made the lad very taint, but fortunately no ligaments were cut, and last night he WHS progressing favourably. We would call special attention ' to the night upon which the next of the series of popular lectures is to bo delivered ill Cambridge. Thursday is the day upon ' which it is customary to hold them, but on ! this occasion it is altered, and on Tuesday , next Mr McCallum, a gentleman who has been a great traveller, will lecture on "California the Golden State ; its climate, scenery and industries. The musical , selections will be provided by the Misses ' Bell, Stratford and Webber and Mr W. 1 Chambers, and are therefore sure to be well rendered. Mr McCallum is a very popular lecturer, and the subject hejias chosen is an interesting one. 1 We regret to record the death of • Mr Sumuel Young which took place ut i Mackelvie-street, Ponsonby, on Tuesday evening. Mr Young, who was an en- ' tlmsiust in all sporting matters, was well ; known throughout the colony and lately he was brought more closely in connection ' with this district as proprietor of the 1 Waipa Hotel. Ngaruawahia, which he had - to give up owing to failing health. The I deceased gentleman who married a Miss Lynch, leaves a young family to mourn his : loss. In Masonic circles Mr Young was a | prominent brother and a number of the members of the craft assembled on Thurs- ; diy afternoon to pay their last token of re- ! spect to their deceased brother.
