Great interest is taken in the match as the WAIPATU team includes 10 of the County players, while PAKI PAKI will have the assistance of JAMES, the TE AUTE crack. The anniversary of the HASTINGS WESLEYAN Church was celebrated last evening. There was first a tea meeting in the hall adjoining the church at Hastings. The attendance being very large and filled to capacity.more. An adjournment was afterwards made to the church, where a public meeting was held, Mr LAWS presiding. Rev C E BEECROFT read toe report for the past year. Solos were then sung by Mrs PRIME, the Misses MARTIN and KESSEL, and Messrs PRIME, J and H MARTIN, ROBINSON, and EDWARDS. The Revs: Messrs Mc NICOLL, COWIE,, and BEECROFT gave interesting though brief addresses. Hastings readers reminded polling day for the Hastings Borough Council election and urge those who wish to vote for Mr Joseph H WILLIAMS to attend and record their votes. It is almost superfluous to advert to his qualifications for the office of councilor, they being so well known, but I may point out that he is an old resident here, a clear-headed practical man of business, and popular with all classes. If, therefore, he be elected, we may reasonably hope that he will not be either a dummy or the mere mouthpiece of any clique, but will hold a board and far-sighted policy, recognizing the fact that the interests of the town and of the borough are identical. I may therefore add that Mr HUGHES is a popular townsman, who has a great many friends, and has, I understand, been canvassing diligently, so that Mr WILLIAMS will need every vote that he can get. The Napier School Committee meeting last evening: - Present: - Messrs J G GILBERD-CHAIR M HEBDEN, T M MURPHY, H NAPHTALI, J GRIFFIN, S SPENCE, and T SIDEY A disputed account from Mr J HUGHES for the erection of swings was considered. The committee thought the charges excessive and referred the question to Mr R HOLT. Miss MONTEITH reported the average attendance at the side school to be 135, and Mr A B THOMSON reported the average for the main school to be 768.

HBH 1890 July 2 Mc GRATH-Bus-PREBBLE Last evening the 6.30 o'clock bus from the Spit got into trouble. Coming down the Shakespeare hill the brake did not act, with the result that the four horses attached to the vehicle bolted. Mr Mc GRATH, the driver, pluckily stuck to the reins and managed to avoid collision with the traps he met, but when opposite Mr PREBBLE's shop the near shaft horse fell, dragging his mate on top of him, and of course bringing up the whole concern short. The traces had to be cut to liberate the horses. The passengers got off with a fright.

They are the work of a youth entirely without art tuition, and who has had to evolve his methods from his own intelligence.......more..These pictures are to be disposed of by art union, the tickets being fixed at a very low figure, and the proceeds are to be devoted to obtaining instruction for the young painter, a Mr A BEDINGFIELD, at present residing at MAKATOKU. Mr BEDINGFIELD is a cousin of THACKERAY, and his father's name will be remembered by all readers of the correspondence of DICKENS and THACKERAY, and of all the early numbers of All the Year Round, to which Mr BEDIGFIELD was a frequent contributor. An elder brother was an exhibitor at this year's Royal Academy, and judging from those specimens of Mr A BEDINGFIELD's untutored skill he possesses a talent well which well merits culture.

Clive - An inquest was held at the Faradon Hotel this-afternoon, before Mr TURNBULL, coroner, on the body of the man found in the Ngaruroro. The body was identified as that of Richard LUCAS, a man well known in the Pakowhai and surrounding districts, and until some little time ago in the employ of Messrs NELSON Bros., at Tomoana. There was no evidence to show how deceased got into the water, and a verdict of "found drowned" was returned by the jury. A man named George William HALLAM was yesterday arrested on a charge of criminally assaulting Ethel BURLEY, a girl of thirteen years of age. It appears that the complainant was sent from Dickens-street yesterday afernoon with a message to her married sister, who resides on the Marine-parade. The little girl had with her a baby sister who can walk, and the pair were playing together as they went along. When on the Marine-parade HALLAM accosted the elder girl, and talked to her of her little sister, to whom he promised to give an orange. They were walking along the pathway while the talk went on, and Ethel BURLEY had nearly reached her sister's residence when the alleged assault took place.........her cries were heard by her married sister and her aunt, who were in the house adjoining........HALLAM was afterwards confronted with the girl and her sister, and identified, and then was locked up. HALLAM, who will be brought before the Court this morning, is apparently about 26 years of age, resides with his parents, and till his arrest was in the employ of the Gas Company.

The funeral will leave her late residence to-day, at 3 p.m., for the Taradale cemetery. Friends please accept this intimation. Some time ago complaint was made to us (by a subscriber who did not wish to appear in the matter) to the effect that bereaved persons were frequently put to annoyance and inconvenience by inability to find the cemetery grave-digger, Mr FORREST, who lives at Greenmeadows. We are now asked to state that arrangements have been made by which a letter-box will be at Mr FORREST's late residence in Carlyle-street, now occupied by his son, so that persons who wish to communicate with the grave-digger can do so by that means. Mr RUDYARD KIPLING, the young Indian journalist, who at the age of 26 has made himself famous as an author wherever the English language is spoken, arrived in Napier last night......Mr KIPLING was highly delighted with the country he hurriedlyh passed through in the train. He put up at the Criterion Hotel, and expressed himself as surprised at finding such a large and well- conducted establishment in a town the size of Napier. Mr KELLY, a well-known half-caste, keeper of an accommodation house on the road between Kuripapanga and Moawhanga(?), had a most miraculous escape from sudden death on Wednesday. He had been to Kuripapanga, and in returning to Moawhanga he found, upon arriving at the top of the hill known as "Gentle Annie," that an immense landslide had taken place. A waggon driven by Mr KELLY's nephew was endeavoring to get round the cutting on its way to Kuripapanga, and Mr KELLY and four or five roadmen assisted to get the team round the cutting. While so engaged, Mr KELLY by some means fell over the cutting, dropping a distance of 40 feet sheer, and then rolled headlong to the bottom of the hill, ovder 500 feet from where he pitched after his first fall. He was picked up insensible and carried to the Kuripapanga Hotel, where Mr and Mrs MACDONALD kindly sat up with him all night.....Mr MACDONALD will bring the injured man into the Napier hospital to-day, when, if he recovers, as w! e hope will be the case, he will be able to boast of having fallen 550 feet without killing himself.
