HASTINGS.

{Delayed.) Dear Bee, June 2. Mr Ben Nicholls, MR SPENCER GOLLAN’S PRIVATE TRAINER, has returned from Melbourne, and has brought over with him a couple of sets of a new patent horse-shoe, which seems a most desirable one, as the new patent shoe absolutely prevents any jarring while horses are galloping at exercise. OUR PEOPLE. I am sorry to say that Lady Whitmore has been in very indifferent health for some months past. She has thought it advisable to go away for change, so she has left for Sydney in company with rtir George Whitmore. Mrs and Miss Green will occupy Lady Whitmore’s house while she is away. Mr and Mrs and Miss J. B. Brathwaite have gone a w’ay fora change ; Mr Harry Brathwaite is taking care of their house meanwhile. Mrs Robert Brathwaite has returned from the country and looks all the better for the trip away. Miss Seale is at present on a visit to Mrs Lowry, from which place I hear she is to go on to Mrs Carl yon’s. I hear that Mrs and Miss Hamilton are likely to be with us again before long. We Hastings folk will be so glad to welcome them after their long absence. I believe they are both very well and have enjoyed their trip Home very much indeed. At present they are staying in Dunedin with Mrs Hamilton’s son. Mrs Norman Beetham is stopping at Frimley. She is looking very stylish in a grey tweed gown, biack boa, and black velvet toque with velvet bows in the shape of ears. I noticed Mrs Kinross White, of Napier, in a very pretty green cloth gown handsomely braided with black, black boa, stylish little black and gold bonnet: Mrs Howard wears a very pretty grey gown, light fur boa. and small bonnet; Miss Amy Seale looks nice in dark skirt, pale blue blouse, sailor hat: Miss Hewson looks nice in fawn gown, fawn hat with brown tips.
