LOCAL AND GENERAL.

The Waikato Fancy Fair wa* concluded on Saturday evening, when the marquee was brilliantly illuminated. The attendance wa< good throughout the evening, and tho stall holders dil excellent business. Tee Government Insurau '.a Recorder for November is a special y got up Kxhibtion number, containing souie exc- lleut views of Chrutchurch, and plans of the Exhibition buildings. The number is replete with reading matter of interest to policy holders. Tne lirst award for a grade shorthorn cjw or heifer, milking, with calf at foot, or vißibly in calf, at the Waikato Show, went to Mr Geo. Mayes' exhibit, and not to that of Mr J. (J. Alieu as would appear from the prize list published in our columns on Saturday. A man named Robt. Sims, an employee of Mr J. Jackman, tailor, of Hamilton, was admitted to the W'aikato Hospital last night Buffering from ooncussion of the brain as the result of falling off a horse on the road between Whatawhata and Hamilton. Enquiries this morning elicited the fact that he was progressing favourably. At the Hamilton Police Court this morning, before Mr K. J. Paull, J.P. the following by-law cases were disposed of: Frederick O'Hara, Edward H ill, J. Taylor, and F. H. Tuck were fined 5s and costs for riding bicycles without lights; Haruld Peace, for riding a horse on a footpath, 5s and costs; and George Wishart, who did not appear, for driving without lights, was fined 10s and costs. The Thursday half-holiday last week attracted a number of payers to the Hamilton Bowling Green, and the following games were recorded: Mitchell, Mayo, liateman and Warren (skip) IS, v. lieavac, ! Uyd*, Uodle, and Manning (skip) 16; | Seddon, Forteeque, Sandes and Fortesque ! (skip) 22, v. Phee, Dark, Wilson and Chap pell (skin) IS; Wilson and Chappell (skip) 14, v. Fortesque and S. Fortesque (skip) 7. On Saturday several games wore j played with the following results: Snell, j Ferguson, Fee, B jdeli (skip) IIJl l J v Forlescuf, i Fowst, T. Duiby, Browning (skip) 18; i Fortescue, Biteman, Hyde and Jaeobi (skip) 21 v Manning, (i. Warren, Atkins j and J. W. Warren - j day next th« first " Stir" mitch of the sen- i son will be j 1 >yed, and a start will be made j with the first year players' match. A dw-lling house at Gam' ridge owned by Mr Robert Morse, was completely destroyed by fire shortly after midnight on Friday. It was occupied till Monday last by Mr and Mrs Crighton aud f unity, who were removing the furnituie gradually. They lost a few articles of furniture, which remained in the i house. Tne house was an old une, and j burnt rapidly, being aluußt consumed by I the time the Brigade arrived. Tuere was j an insurance on the house. The Sydney mail sto*m>r list week sailed at noon on Friday, instead of Saturday (says the New Zealand Times). Tuis i will ennble Home mails seut by the Hieraki to connect with next week's Sue/, mail j from Sydney. J.t is hoped tiiat this ari rangement will become of a permanent I charae'er and so compensate business j people for the frequent delays in the Sin , I Francisco service. One of the Premier's j I missions in the south is to c insult with 1 the general manager of the Union Steam Ship Company on this matter. Toe Go- ! vernment has made certain proposals to j the company which it is believed will i !be viewed favourably. A previous offer ! mado tc the Government by the company I was not accepted because it v/as cmaidered ' j that the terms aaLed were too high. j Everybody's Magazine for October has ) j reached us froui the publishers in New j York. Its 130 pages are full of interesting i articles, stories and illustrations, which we may single out " soldiers of the | Common (.food," descriptive of the work of j i the governments of the Australian States ' in their endeavour to forward the general I welfare. The author, Mr Kussell, gives I an interesting account of the rise and ! p >licy of the Labour party in Australia, ! ; and shows how the annual revenue from : the State railway h,*s steadily increased. Mr Kussell promises a similar article on : New Zealand in the November issue. "The j Burning Insurance ls«ue" is a further article from Mr Thomas W. Lawaon, whose j startling exposures of the mal administrati n of the great American Insurance Companies raised such a storm of indignation a year ago (and incidentally raised the ! circulation of the magazine to a million a month). The, other artr.h: end stories are | of high average merit. I We cater lor wedding parties, birthday ■ parties, picnics and balls. No catering job j is too big or too small for us. —Tidd and i | Stanton, Hamilton. 0 j " Are you going to the Exhibition eoerns to lie the burning question of the day.

It is during the w&rm mouti.s of sv.mmer I that mothers have to be most careful or j their little cnes, and at the first unusual \ looseness of their bowels should give the little suiloter sdose of Chamberlain's Colic, j Cholera and D.i*rnioe«.

Tb-se in sea - ch of second hand furniture are n minded that Messrs W. C. Davis and Co. will ho'<d a sale at the Baden Powell bo irding house at Cambridge on Wednes day. The contents of somo twonty rooms will bo submitted. A fire broke out in the bar parlour of i the Masonic Hotel at Cambridge botween J 3and lo'clock this morning, but fortunately the inmates wore aroused before the fire got a hold, and it was ■(aickly extinguished. The Brigade appiared on the seen • nuicky, and provented an extension of the outbreak. Some urco had made a ne?t of kapek which gives a clue as to the cause. At the Otahuhu Police Court on Saturday, a man named William F. Clasen, a laboier, was charged with the manslaughter < f his intant child, who died on October 27th. The medical evidence showed th*t hid the child been kindly treated, i its life would have been prolonged, and possibly it woud have recovered. The | body was badly nourished and unhealthy, I and at the bottom of the back was a bruise, j The Magistrate said the medical evidence j was not suttkiert to sustain a charge of mauslaughier. Tne charge was therefore | dismissed. The police then charged accused with ci minon assault on the child, to which accused pleaded guilty. Toe magistrate characterised accused's conduct as simply brutal, and sentenced him to six months' imprisonment, the full penalty the law allowed him to give.
