HBH 1890 April 1 S.S. WANGANUI The s.s. WANGANUI, which arrived at COOKTOWN on the 19th ultimo from DINNER Island, brought news of the murder in October, by natives at WOODLARK Island, of two beche-de-mer fisherman, Albert RICKBURY and the mate belonging to the cutter ALBATROSS. RICKBURY went ashore to shoot pigeons. The natives made a fire to cook the pigeons, and they then treacherously murdered him with a tomahawk. The natives went off to the cutter, presumably to trade, and wounded the mate, why was lying sick on the deck. The mate frightened away the natives, lifted the anchor, and set sail, but ran the boat on the reef. The natives followed, and found the man dead, with his foot on the helm. They looted the boat, took the dingy, and divided the spoils.

HBH 1890 April 12 Dr Barnardo's Home Our Hastings correspondent writes under yesterday's date: - The bazaar at the Town Hall in aid of Dr BARNARDO's Home for destitute children was opened this afternoon by Canon St HILL, who in a short address urged the claims of the cause, and pointed out the many attractions of the bazaar. Certainly the result of the hard work and good taste of the promoters is most attractive. At the entrance is a grotto and a fishpond kept by Misses HAMILTON and Mc GUNN. On the right side and at the end of the hall are fancy stalls well furnished with plain and fancy needlework, and a thousand and one nameless trifles and pettinesses, which ornament a drawing room and get in a visitor's way. One noticeable feature is a stall at which Miss BOGLE's pupils, assisted by Miss TANNER, Mrs BOGLE, and Miss A St. HILL, only sell children's work. Mrs BLYTHE and Miss BOGLE keep the end stall. Miss A PERCY and Miss LUCKIE manage the Christmas tree. On the left side of the hall are a fruit and flower stall presided over by Mrs ROACH and Miss M GALLIEN, and a refreshment stall which is loaded with all sorts of niceties, and at which Miss PERCY and Miss Ada Mc LEOD officiate as attendant Hebes. Art is represented by a shield "Mount Cook," and a plaque "Wet Jacket Arm" (both very effectively painted by Miss BOGLE), and two attractive water color paintings by Mr LYNDON-one "The Otira Gorge," noticeable for the delicate coloring of the sky, and the other "Stirling Falls," in which the effects of the falling water and the reflection are well given. The Dram is represented by Mr PUNCH-who has taken up his quarters in a side room, and is well patronised. Tomorrow (Saturday) evening there will be an exhibition of magic lantern views. With all these attractions there ought to be such an attendance as to reward those who have worked so hard for a good cause, and to materially aid the cause itself.

HBH 1890 April 12 Visiting Bowlers The social concert, which was held in Wellington on Monday night in honor of the visiting bowlers, was an appropriate finish to a highly successful and interesting tournament, one of which is calculated to give great impetus to this popular pastime in the North Island. There were about 150 present, including many of the leading citizens of WELLINGTON Bowling Club (Mr BARRAND) was in the chair, and amongst the company were the Minister of Education (the Hon Mr HISLOP), the Hon John BRYCE, M.H.R., and Dr MACGREGOR. Mr HISLOP apologised for the absence of the Premier, who was invited to the gathering, but was prevented by the state of his health from attending. The toast of "The Visitors" was eloquently proposed by Mr Kennedy MACDONALD, and responded to by the various Presidents of the visiting teams, namely: - Mr GORRIE (AUCKLAND) Mr BALFOUR (NAPIER) Mr PAUL (NEW PLYMOUTH) Mr WILLIS (WANGANUI) Mr WIX (NELSON) Mr BALFOUR in the course of an admirable little speech, in which he tendered the hearty thanks of the Napier team for the kindness and courtesy shown them by the Wellington club, suggested the formation of a North Island Bowling Association, and the proposal was received so heartily that at a later stage Mr BALFOUR was requested to move a resolution to that effect, with the result that the proposition was carried amidst cheers. Several other gentlemen delivered appropriate speeches ................more...........

HBH 1890 APRIL 10 Local News The police authorities at NAPIER yesterday received information of an affray at the AKITEO hotel, which is about midway between DANEVIRKE and HERBERTVILLE, on Monday night, which resulted fatally.
