Be just and fear not; Let nil the ends thou aim's! at be thy eountry's, Thy God's, and truth’s.

An ordinary meeting of the Borough Council takes place to-night. Holy Trinity Church was nicely decorated for the Easter services, which were very impressive. The annual Easter Ball at Patutahi was held last night, This popular gathering is always successful.

Owing to pressure upon our space this morning a leader, imports and exports, and other matter is crowded out.

The social gathering at the Theatre Royal this evening should be one of the most successful affairs of its kind ever held in Gisborne.

The Gisborne Fire Brigade representatives are having a'jolly time in Auckland, and speak in high terms of the kindness of the brother firemen there. What with junketings, picnics and other attractions, the representative firemen have been made exceedingly happy. Notwithstanding the lateness of the hour (if p.m.) at which the Hauroto left Auckland on Friday, there was a good crowd on the wharf to give the Auckland rowing representatives a send off on their trip to Gisborne. As the steamer moved off three cheers were called for and heartily responded to.

The injured horse to which allusion was made in our last issue was the wellknown mare Dinah. An action against the Borough Council is talked of, as it is alleged—whether upon good grounds or not we do not pretend to say—that it Was the fault of a man who sometimes acts as ranger that ..the tMre got hurt by the barbed'wire.

Jones, and Carrington. The annual match between the Poverty Bay Rowing Club and the Auckland representative crew came off on Saturday morning last. The Gisborne crew were the favorites, odds of $ to t being freely offered, but meeting with little response ; howeverit must be takenintoconsideration that the Auckland boys were somewhat handicapped, having only landed from the steamer about two hours before the race, and most of them having the appearance of having suffered from sea sickness. At the start the visitors caught the water first, and maintained the lead for about a mile ; then the local boys went to the front, and the result was never in doubt, they winning easily by two lengths and a half amidst loud cheering

The s.s.

She left again for Auckland in the afternoon, taking—Mrs Marshall, Mr and Miss McGuire, Constable Sefton. Review of Reviews :—Eighteen hundred and ninety was cruel and remorseless to the last. Seldom has one twelvemonth been so fatal. A year ago the Church of England counted Lightfoot among her bishops, Liddon among her preachers, and Dr Church as Dean of St. Paul’s while Newman, the greatest among her spiritual children, was still living though he had wandered to another fold. Dr Westcott sits in the see of St. Cuthbert, a stranger occupies the pulpit of Liddon, Newman has been gathered to his fathers, and St. Paul’s has a new Dean.

The steamer Janet Niccol arrived here at 6 o’clock on Sunday evening, from the South, and left during the night for Auckland.

It will teach you that you amount to precious little and that there are hordes of fair women and brave men in the same boat. In your own home or office you may splursp around as though the bud ooul.l >ot rise without your sanction, but when you travel you will find that you have a very soft p ace under your bat, and that the sad o'd earth can get round on schedule time without you. You will find that there are dozens of other towns that can do your town up after giving it points ! that there are other men who know m much more than you do that you Could not even make out the debits and credits on their thoughts. And when y u are lucky enough, dr have sense enough, to quit travelling, you will hoist your feet upon your own mantle, sit by your own fireside, and cheerfully and willing y admit that one unlucky traveller named Payne had a great head, and that there really is no place like it.
