HBH 1892 May 13 Local 1 Mr ALEXANDER, agent in advance for Wirth Brothers' Hippodrome, is in Napier making arrangements for a short season. With the exception of the Wirth Brothers and Mr MONTGOMERY all the artists are new to this colony. Mr A.B. GIBSON, who has been for many years past in the Napier Office of the Government Insurance Department, has been appointed to represent the Colonial Mutual Assurance Society in this district in conjunction with Messrs BAKER and TABUTEAU, district agents for the society. In losing Mr GIBSON the government will miss the services of a very zealous and efficient officer, to whom we hope the new appointment will mean well deserved advancement.
