Personal Paragraphs.

THIS week we give photographs of the wedding party of Colonel and Mrs Fox (serf Miss Cara Russell), whose marriage was lately described in these columns. Unfortunately the picture was too late to be reproduced with the account of the ceremony. The Colonel, who is the greatest authority on military matters in the

colony, is seemingly enjoying a peaceful honeymoon. He and his bride were last heard of as looking very bright and happy at Christchnrch, their intentions being to proceed farther South, their future movements not being divulged at present. Mr George Jameson, who has left Christchnrch for England to take charge of the interests of the Farmers’ Co-operative Association in London, was entertained at a luncheon on Saturday, when about fifty gentlemen met in the rooms of the Agricultural and Pastoral Association to wish him bon voyage and every success in his new sphere. Mr Jameson has dwelt in Christchurch for the past thirty-two years, and has earned the good will and respect of all classes. Moreover, he is considered by those who ought to know, to be the right man in the right place in his present appointment. It is with the deepest regret I have to record the death of Lady Wilson, of Cashmere, and her nnmerous friends received a great shock when the tidings became known. Though Lady Wilson has been somewhat of an invalid for some years, she bad been rather better lately, and was always so interested in everything and fond of society when well enough that one forgot how narrow the path was that divided her from the dark valley. Her name will long be remembered in Christchnrch where her many acts of kindness are known to not a few. The officers and members of the Christchnrch Masonic Fraternity at their lodge meeting on Monday night presented Mr John Chynoweth, their late secretary, with a secretary’s jewel prior to his departure for England, eulogising the work he had done and wishing him success on his return to the Old Country. Mrs Chynoweth has been the recipient of a neat little case containing silver pen, paper, knife and pencil from the Merivale Gnild in remembrance cf the many afternoons spent in a good canse, though often times perhaps at personal inconvenience.

Mr Sydney Hoben, of Napier, the talented young pianist, whose letters from Leipsic, published some years ago, shewed that Mr Hoben had literary as well as musical talent, has accepted the conductorship of the ladies’ Lieder cranz recently formed in Napier.

AT the opening of the deer stalking season in Nelson, Mr T. Andersen of Whakapuaka, Mr Cross, Dr. Gibbs, Mr Percy Adams, Mr George Sbarland, and Messrs Thornton and Lunn were among the successful shots.

The death last week of Mr S. W. Goldsmith, of he firm of Manchester and Goldsmith, Wai mate, is deeply regretted by all who knew the gentleman in business or as a friend. Mr Samuel Entrican, son of Mr Robert Entrican, of P. nsonby, Auckland, has gained further honours in his University studies in Ireland by carrying off a senior scholarship, and taking his B. A. degree with second class honours. Dr. Collins, the honorary surgeon of the Wellington Hospital, who has resigned that position, expects to leave for England shortly on a visit. The Misses Ide, daughters of Chief Justice Ide, were passengers for Apia by the mail steamer Arawa, which left Auckland on Saturday. The resignation on account of ill-health of Mr F. Battley from the onerous position of general Manager of the New Zealand Loan and Mercantile Company was not altogether unexpected. Mr Battley has been in very poor health for some yeais, and must have found his well-filled duties extremely irksome at times. His loss to the Company is much regretted, as he has been in their service twenty eight years. Mr Faithfull Begg, who was formerly a resident in Dunedin, intends to contest the St. Rollox division of Gias gow in the next general election. Mr Begg will stand in the Unionist interest. He is a son of the late Dr. Begg, of Edinburgh, and a brother of Mr Walter Bentley, the actor. Dr Gore Gillon has returned to Wellington from England completely restored to health. During his absence he has taken the degree of M I), at Glasgow University, and has won the Fellowship of the Royal College of Surgeons, Edinburgh.
