meeting, and electing stewardfl »nd other officers for the coming season. AH persons inferes'ed in local horse-racing are invited to attend. It, will be seen br our report that the Golden ifltece Extended Company will have a cleaning up nboufc Ihe 25th instant, when a dividend will be declared. There » not likely now to be any interruption to crushing for a length of time to come. We understand that definite proposals will be made at the County Council meeting to-day for proceeding with the formation of the Big Biver track. We learn from Wellington that a staff of surveyors will chortly be despatched by the Government for the purpose of laying off lie road work to complete coach communication between Nelson and Reefton.and instructions have been given to push the survey ahead with all possible despatch. The Nelnon peos pie seem to be fully alive to the importance of. the work, find will no doubt keep ft watchful eye that the Public Works Deportment does not slumber over it. As the communication through io Greymouth can never be complete until the Little Grey is bridged at Devery's Terrace. We trust that timely step 9 will bo taken by the Council here to urge the necessity of pnshirg on with that work. An interim cleaning up wns to hate taken ploce at the Golden Treasure battery on Monday afternoon, but a« the gold had not reached town up to yesterday morning, it is believed that the scraping did not take place till the following day. The first pile of the Inangalma bridge was j driven yesterday— a large number of persons gathering upon the scene to witness the operation. The engine and gear appeared to work well, but the driving seemed to be rather hard. It is the intention, we believe, after awhile to force on the pile-driving d«y and flight, so as to take the greatest possible ndvintngo of the fine weather. The buzz in? of the engine sounded a little unpleasant in the town, but there is no doubt the ear will soon grow accustomed to the noise, We learn that, the. secretary of the Hospital, Mr Boyd, has written to tho offices of the various Friendly Societies, making a B;>eci-il appeal to them to turn out in proc.esB ; O'i on the night of the forthcoming concert in aid of the funds of tho institution. Should the request he complied with, there is little doubt it will very beneficially effect the receipta of the evening. The hat make." the man, says Berthelier. a popular French humorist. A man without a hat or a hat without a man, is an unfinished pillar— a lid without a jar. When you see a man running in the street without a hat, Berthelier continues, you take him for a lunatic or a thief; and if you find a hat by itself on the bunks of a river, or on the corner of a drawing-room table, you instantly guess at a suicide, or that a man is hiding somevhere. Man and his hat are two elements that — apart — represent folly and chaos, and ! together make up an individual. Show me your hat, cries Berthelier, and I can tell you who and what you are. He describes the hat of the Spanish priest, which leaves the eaTS free so that the priest may hear everythink, but which throws the face into deep shade ; the hat of tbe dashing mousquetaire, raised boldly and brave'y from the lace, nnd making no attempt at hiding ; the famous rocked hat of Napoleon ; the French kepi, &c, and in the course of his descriptions he makes some admirable observations. Men always retain, he says the habit of a style of hat they have worn for long when young. Some men wear their hat on one side to their last day ; others tilt it forward ; the louts ram their hats down over their eyes, while the men of geniu9 are often compelled, he says, to wear their hats somewhat on the back of their heads, because of the bumps representing all the noble qualities that rise up on the forehtad and prevent the hat being pushed on The man of intelligence i' forced by bumps to wear hi* hat on the back of his head ; the man whose intelligence is overpowered by his animal qualities is forced to wear it forward. If a man's character can be guessed at by the appearance of his hat, how much ewe is it true of a woman. A youthful hat upon the head of a middle-agerl woman makes her appear frivolous, while a sedate honnnt placed upon the head of a young girl nges her, apparently, mnny years. A very liirpe bonnet or hat gives an air of boldness to the wearer, a very small one insignificance. Tho Ijpad-eovering, therefore, should be cliOEen with great care. The Grey \rgus Fay 3 :--At th.f.
