We remind our readers that applications for the land m Forty«M~ile Bash to be sold on decried payments must be sent m to the Land office, Wellington, to-m rrow. The auction sale of land to be soli for cash takes place at the Institute, Masterton, at noon on Thursday. We are informed that "the indefatigable Secretary of the M,R.O. m the course of his periginationa round' the cornera where the talent congregate, met a metalicean who gave him the most liberal terms, viz. 12 to 1, and the pick of the. basket, for the doable. Hurdles and. Plate. This amatenr is expected to come to grief on Boxing Day. ' A member of a large firm m "Wellington informed the-Feilding Star that the advertisements m the local papers are accepted as a good criterion as to how business men m the country towns are pushing their trade. It is considered that the man who keeps his business, and what he has to sell continually before the public, is the best man for the large importer to do busines with. We have to acknowledge receipt from the publisher, Mr W. Park, of a copy of his " Manawatu and "Wellington Almanac and Directory for 1885". A large amount of valuable ard interesting infoimation is contained m the book, wkich numbers about 400 pages, and is sold at a shilling. It contains all information likely to prove useful to the settler or tho business man, together with a well-compiled and complete direct tory. We have no doubt Mr Park's supply . will soon be exhausted, and those who desire to obtain a copy should lose no time m doing so. The Borough Banger made a raid on Sunday and was successful m securing a number of cattle. In connection wi;h this Mr Bochnig who is one of the owners of the cattle impounded,called atour offi c this m rnirig and expressed his opinion that if this course was continued tbe - Borough would soon be able to take steps to prevent water flowing from the load on to his property. He say &he intended to summon the Council and the Road Board for damage done, but now hopes that his cause "f complaint will be removed. At present the water, he saiyo, occasionally prevents him from ' keeping bis cattle off the road'as he cannot get them to his property. , A meeting of the Branch Association of the Wanganui Teachers' Institute was held m the.

The president intimated , that he would, at the next meeting, read a paper on *' Class Man* .agement." /A vo'e of thanks was accorded to the Rev. F, t Pa rkes for the great exertions he had used m bringing about the formation of the institute, — Advocate, ; - "We regret so soon to have to record another act of piracy on the part of our local literary buccaneer. To a c ertain ex • tent we cannot blame him for extracting material from our columns some days after publication, but when he filches material on the day of issue we must really draw the li le, A case of this kind occurred on Saturday. We published at the usual time on that date,- find the issue 'orttaine'd the handicaps for the Fi ien dly Societies Sports; which were supplied to us only. 'Our contemporary had applied to the secretary for these, but they were refused to him by express m traction of the Committee, who intend showin.' that, as the spo r ts were a grand success last' year m spite bf the viru-lent-opposition of the Standard, so they can be mnde still more successful this year without any assistance from it, presuming of course' that it is able to affect the matter one way or another. " Being met with a direct refusal to fiirnisa the information desired the manager or editor of our con* temporary (we do riot know which, a9 two now claim to govern) ground up the scissbrs took the han.lid.ips from the Times, and delayed publication nearly two hours later, than usual to get fcbem m the same . day,' Journalistic fraebobting of this kini is cert a : nly not deservi'g of encouagement. We have no bbjeclinn to our contemporary following bur lead so c'osely as he has done this last six month c , as imitation is the siu'eerest flattery, besides which he is always a long way behind. ; Time and again we: : have watched paragraphs which have been! retouched by us wander along through tbe ; press; nnd finally find a last resting place m the co'umns of the Standard, where they ! have delighted the' few who'r'sk their sanity by reading it, rind who, without ths relief afforded by us,; would long ere this have -gone via Wanganui:': We have hot complained of this, iand even when we have seen bin -original paragraphs reappear 'iv the: Standard we have borne it with meekness, On some occasions our very, leaders, have: been adapted by this genius, and our ideas stolen; but, recognising the danger that might ensue' if bur contemporary' were to venture t". exercise his' own brain, we have remained silent' But wemust claim a fight to our news fbrlone day at least, and hence our protest op this occasion. : — Tenders are invite"*"!
