A special four-horso ooaoh will leave the Club Hotel, Masterton, for the Car terton Show on Friday morniop at ton o'clock. Mr W, flawko's notification in connection therewith appears in onr adveitising columns elsewhere. We aro asked'by Mr W. Vile to siy that his coach will run between Maurice-

villo and Masterton on the first Sunday in oaoh month, and not every Sunday as previously .stated. This, it should be noted, is adapted to suit tho ser\ices/ at the Roman Catholio church. The tot il number of fishing licenses taken out in Masterton this soason, up to tho present date, is 138. This is iu excess of the number issued during any previous season; and it is safo to say that several will yet be applied for. The total iB mado up as follows:-Men's licenses, 81 j boys', 66; ladies', 1. The amount received is £95 ss. A prominent Masterton business man was roported last night to havo drawn tho third horse in tho Molbourno Cup, in Tattersall'e Sweep. The rumour turns out to be a falso one.
Mr W. E, Woods, tho well kuown chemist of Cuba street, Wellington, has just perfected an ingenious electric light installation upon a Bmallscale, by which his shop is brilliantly illuminated. We lately had the pleasure of ceeios; tho light in full working order, and can honestly say that it is a va'st improve* ment upon the dull illuminant supplied to the corporation of Wellington by tho Qulcher Company. Mr Woods has already tho reputation of being a clever chemist (his various specialities are mcst favourably known in . tho Wairarapa), ahd his latest achievement has attracted considerable attention in town.
