An advertisement elsewhere in our columns notifies that a bank cheque, finwarded in payment of tickets Nos. 127, 745, and 1452 in L«ila Montes' Melbourne Cup Consultation, having been presented and dishonored, the tickets in question have been cancelled. We learn that there is every prospect of this eveut tilling up to the full advertised limit, the number of tickets already taken up being very large, and intending subscribers should therefere lose no time in making application. Shareholders in the North Eureka lease are notified that unless they pay their share of the overdue lease rent before the sth V ovember next their interests will be forfeited. In referring to the case of Dickenson v. Card in our Wednesday's issue it was stated that the former held the prior bill of sale over Mrs Irvine's premises. This was incorrect. -Miss Hewston's bill of sale, under* w-hich Mr Jones acted was the prior one, Mr Dickenson not having obtained his lien until some time after. The meeting of the local committee of f the Christchurch Exhibition, which was B fixed for Friday evening last, at the Council Chambers, lapsed. Several members were in attendance, but through 9 some mistake possibly the room was not 1 lighted, so the meeting was postponed, i A Swede named John Peterson, who t had been an inmate of the Reefton Hosa pital for about eight months past, suffer- ,. ing from consumption, died on Saturday, r Deceased was 59 years of age, and in a n destitute condition. The funeral is ane nounced to move from the morgue at 3 h p.m. to-day. ;," We remind the public that the " wash- -, ing up" in "Nugget's" Westland Mcl- " bourne up Mining Company will take n place on the sth November, when the • "dividends" will be declared. Mr C. 6 Cohen is the agent for the allotment of ■ shares in Reefton, and the list will only 0 be open for a day or two longer. 8 A man named James Montgomery was brought up before Messrs. Bowman and 3 Brennan, J.TVs, on Saturday last, charged with drunkenness, and fined ss. 1 and costs. We have been requested to announce „ that "Robin Hood's" event on the Melbourne ('up closes in Reefton to-night, the returns going off by mail to-morrow morning. Mr Salmon has still a few shares on hand. c Mr G. C. Bowman held an auc'ion sale fy of mining interes's on Saturday last, i- when a parcel of 250 Inkermans were placed in lots of one hundred at 3s 6d and y 3s. A small parcel of Keep-it-Darks were s bought in at £2 17s 6d. c The Fiery Cross Extended will have a s general cleaning up at the end. of this c week. The mine is reported to look c splendid, and stone is coming forward as h freely as it did at the commencement of 8 the crushing. c A match at cricket between elevens of v the State and Catholic schools was played c on Saturday last, victory falling to the 8 former. The State school eleven developed a veritable young Grace, who scored no less than 125 runs for his side, and C this against tolerably good round-arm jf bowling. A piece of mountain hirch limber, forming portion of one of the bed-logs of the old Westland battery, Murray , Creek, and which had been buried in wet 0 ground for about twelve years, is to be „. one of the local contributions to the c Christchurch Industrial Exhibition. The 3 log has been brought down by Vr J. c Connolly, and is as sound as the day it c . was first used. We notice that one of the t l Westport shipping companies have unn dertaken to convey all exhibits to Lyttel- ( { ton free. The Union shipping company, on the other hand, announce that they r will convey all West Coast exhibits free ,f one way. c The launch of the Tongariro was an c event of considerable importance to New 11 Zealand, and seems to have passed ofl tl with great eclat. Mr Coster is evidently s determined to start the service on the ■s best possible footing, therein following the r example of our Union Company Many of us have read with some amusement that Mrs Langtry was present at the trial s trip. There is a flavour of Pear's soap i- about this, but no doubt Mr oster was 1 able to secure the presence of a good '. many influential personages, who would c not otherwise have been present, through r being able to announce that Mrs Langtry o was amongst his guests. People may A laugh out here; but there can be no c doubt that it was a piece of really good n ' generalship, onlysecond to gettingH.R.H.

;o visit the lonic. Mr Coster should now i persuade Mrs Langtry to make her trip [ mt to the Colonies by the Ton^ariro. It j would pay as a matter of advertisement | for the company to give her a free pas- < Bage for herself and maid, and a premium into the bargain. Otago Times. The Timaru Herald, writing about. Baron Hubner's p;issage through Timaru, says :-•-." Wheti the train was starting the station-master touched ht3 hat to his Excellency, just as he would to one of our Ministers— Mr Dick or any of those fellows ; but Baron Hubner raised hia hat with a graceful flourish, and made Mr Jones the sort of bow that we seldom see in this part of the world. Mr Jones, we were pleased to see, was quite equal to the occasion. He, too, removed his hat in true courtly style, and showed the famous diplomat that we colonists know how to behave when we meet a man who cm appreciate good manners."
