Windsor & Richmond Gazette, Saturday, March 10, 1900 - page 3 Town Gossip Miss Long is back again after a fortnight's holiday in Sydney. Mr. T. R. Smith's picnic races take place at Penrith to-day (Saturday). Mr. M. McMahon, son of Mr. James McMahon, was in Windsor for a few days last week, from Albury. Mr. C. G. Hatte has closed his Windsor branch, and the stock was removed to the metropolis this week. Mr. W. Cupitt met with an accident on his bike the other day, colliding with a buggy near the R.C. burial ground. The bugle call used "at the front" in South Africa is the first six bars of the Rev. T. H. Taylor's patriotic song "Australia." So Pitt Town is represented at the war. A party pf Windsor residents, Messrs. F. Hannabus, W. Upton, J. Armstrong, and J. Busby, have had a week's fishing down the river. Mr. T. Collison is making headway with his new building in George-street. When completed it should prove an ornament to the town. Mr. Harry Forrest, of Killarney, advertises for sale improved incubators of his own make. We will refer to them at length next week. Mr. Robert Buttsworth, J.P., arrived from Coonamble on Tuesday evening, and will spend a couple of weeks in the Hawkesbury district. The grandstand luncheon-room in connection with the forthcoming Show will be sold by Messrs. Guest and Skuthorp at the showground on Wednesday. Mr. A. Hannabus will shortly give up the farm on Pitt Town Road known as McKenzie's to Mr. P. Vaughan, who has recently purchased the property. We understand that Mr. Reuben Greentree has purchased from Mr. J. Wood the cottage next to Mr. Fitzpatrick's residence, the Peninsula. Mr. J. C. L. Fitzpatrick, M.P., was sworn in as a Magistrate for the colony before Mr. Justice Gibson, at the Quarter Sessions at Darlinghurst on Monday last. Mr. G. McCauley journeyed to Sydney on Wednesday last to conduct a case on behalf of a Richmond resident. The matter was eventually amicable settled. As yet no start has been made with the additions and alterations to the Windsor School of Arts. We understood some time back that the mortgage had been completed and that the money was in hand and available for the purpose. The Police Magistrate and several of the local Justices came into conflict as to the interpretation of certain clauses of the Fines Act, lately passed by the Legislature, on Friday last. The opinion of the local justices eventually prevailed. A cable this week says that the N. S. Wales Army Medical corps, Surgeon-Major T. H. Fiaschi in command, were among the first to enter the trenches after the attack on Cronje's laager. Surgeon-Major Fiaschi achieved many medical successes. Mr. W. Boxhall was married in Sydney on Wednesday. Mr. Boxhall has earned the respect and goodwill of all with whom he has come into contact in this district. He is an unassuming man, and as straight as a gun-barrel. We trust that he and his young wife will have many years of happiness and prosperity. There was a large array of magistrates on the bench on Tuesday last. No less than nine J's.P. sat and adjudicated in the different cases before the Court. If there are many more appointments made in the district it will be necessary to have the platform enlarged and the seating accommodation double banked. We know a Windsor man who was caught in a heavy shower on Tuesday, and to avoid getting his clothes wet he divested himself of them and poked them in a hollow log. Then, so that he would not get wet himself, he jumped into South Creek and stayed there till the shower was over. He says that's a wrinkle he learnt from the blacks.
