HAMILTON.

BAZAAR, CAVALRY REVIEW, AND RACES.

•viTrx-T WPP v the good folks in thia part of the wo* d So going ta heavily for fun and froiic and theatnusements provided oughttobe enough to satisfy the most fastidious. First of all, on. Wednesday, politicians will put their a>mour on and do battle for their respective candidates who aspire to municipal hours as Chief Magis trate of the Borouah. On the same day the bazaar opens, the inaugural ceremony being presided over by that abla veteran, the Hon. Jf. Whitaktr, M.H.H., than whom none better could have been selected to carry out what •must be allowed to be a delicate mission, viz.,. to please the lad e-'. Forsometime past all thelaaies in and around Hamiltonhave been hard at work, andther-su'.tis such, a show of pretty pretties as it seldom falls to man's lot to see in one place. The committee have erected a temporary stpc ture for the occasion"72 x2l feet, and fitted it up in first class style; the counters measuring aoout 120 feet in length, and all these are expected to be filled to over-flowing. Besides the ordinary run of bazaar articles, the agricultural and pastoral interest will be well represented, pro .duce and live stock having come tq hand pretty freely: and thoae who wish it will be able to take home, besides the proverbial bahy-s' Jackf, a fat sucking pie. a lamb, or even a thorough;y broken wolf-bred pointer, &c. All goods have been m irked down, and the sum total is a very .respdetib c amount; the only thing necessary to thorough success now being well-lined purses and owner* willing to empty them. A bevy of the fair sex are to come from Auckland to assist, which will, no doubt, be an attraction to our numerous bachelor friends ; but the local belle 3 will, I feel sure, hold their own with their sisters from the metropolis. The purpose for 'which nil this is to take place is to raise funds to assist in the erection of the Public Hall, the use of which will, in return, be granted (in per petuity) to the Anglican Church as a Sunday school To sum up, the committee have deter mined that the bazaar shall be a success, and it is accordingly so to be dons. Next to thebaz*ar. on the '29th. (Friday), come the cavalry review and races on the Ohaupo Flat, which will draw a very large number of people together, and as the*energetic Manager of the Kailway has so arranged time tables and fares to suit the million, we fully anticipate a large number of town visitors coming up—the trip being an enioyable one at tlm season of the year. The Cavalry too are well worth seeing, and as there will be about 170 troopers on parade, nearly all wel mounted, and certainly very well drilled, the sight will be a gallant one. The bazaar lasts three days, 27th, 28th, and 29th instants, and as there is some talk of a citizen's ball as we'l,l am sure your readers will agree with me in thinking that v;e country folk have good pluck to face all that amount of dissipation in the one week. I had forgotten to state that one great attraction at the bazaar will be the gift auction on the night of the race 3, when there will be a distribution of prizes won. " All prizes ;no blanks. Roll up ! roll up!"— [Correspondent.!

THE MAORI VOTE AT HOKIANGA.

(To the Editor). Sib,—The election of Councillors for this •- d4strict took place on the 13th November amidst " great excitement. Messrs. Bates, Lundon. and Yarborough (Europeans), Cochrane and Bryers (half-pastes), ilauiera and Hapakuka (Maoris). were the successful candidates. The whole of the foregoing, except A. C. Yarborough.secured their teats through a block Maori vote. Although Hokianga natives nominallypay rates ,in the proportion of £10 for every £100 paid by Kuropeans, they have nearly • double as many votes. Unfortunately they were pursuaded to vote in mcisse. Tee result is that out o£ seven men elected, only three can read and write English. Perhaps your readers will be surprised that one individual should have so much power amongst our natives. The : reason is apparent when I inform you that Sir >■ George Grey, evidently not knowing the p"erson he was recommending, recently introduced him with a letter to the following effect:—"The c bearer of this letter is my great friend. Be kind to him, because I wish this man tobeacom . panion for me." The Maoris, in response, have - been kind to Trim by electing him with _a ' majority of six against one in the Council. ■ Allow me to give a mild hint to the present Go vernment : If they wish to secure a supporter in ■': the House from these parts, let them send another political agent here, instead of the individual who at present claims to be their • representative, and if he is a man whom ;we can respect, they may rest assured of having universal support, both from Europeans and Maoris. The result of the - late eleoti&n is being viewed with feelings of alarm by the -yhite population. The fact o£ the Maoris giving ahlock vote against every candi . date nominated V»y Kuropeans shows that dis trust is being engendered amongst them. For many years past Maoris and pakehas have lived together here as one lar^e and happy family, ! but since the advent of Sir George Grey's self nominating friend the natives have shown signs •of discontent. It is to be regretted that affairs have assumed the aspect they hare, but it is sincerely hoped, for the prospect of the district, that mattere will not grow any worse Yours> etc, A Supporter of Sir Geor&e Grey.

To the Editor: Sir, —Can you tell me ■why Queen-street is not watered from the fire-plugs during the day ? la Melbourne, where the streets are crowded, this is done, and is productive of no inconvenience. Here, the system in vogue is a mere apology, and when the wind is strong, an hour's fine weather produces clouds of dust.—l am, &c, A SUFFEEEE.

GENIUSES HAVE BIG V JT HEADS, so you needn't wonder at my ig Belltoppera are all sold. I have, however, icceeded in finding a few more, from size 61 to which will be large enough for very clever ien, who do not profess to be great geniuses, at le same old price, Bs. Any man who can show lea Satin Scarf that he has paid 4s Gd for of iperior quality to my beauties at Is. ahal aye one of mine for nothing, until further otice. You see. Ladies, how I try to sharpen p some of the married men. It seems a pity to it them have such splendid wide and narrow rim Felt Hats for the low price of 2s 6d, but ou know I must let them have a bargain when ;is thrown in my way. I don't see any chance a prospect of their ever getting such another iargain again in Waistcoats as I am now Belling ,t 4s each. Since writing the above. I lwvo lought a lot of fashionable White Hard Jea; iats, the wholesale price of which was 6s Bd. I •ought them for—well, never mind what .1 >ougbt them for. The proper price of them is ibout 103. Well, I will sell them for the ridicu ous nrice o£ 4s each. I have also iU9t bought 10 lozen Fashionable Hard Black Hats, and win sell them at tbo same price, namely is: also o lozen splendid Plaid Shirts, which I will sell at 5s 6d each; aLo a lot of White Y^ntilator Bell ioppers at 7s. When you tell them I have splendid Unbleached Socks at 6d; and superior Lead Pencils at 9d a dozen; Spectacles, Is; Hair Oil, 6d a bottle; Barry's Tricopherous at Is Id, and good Tooth Combs at 2d. You will have told them about all I think it necessary for them to know. And now, Ladies, I have polished off the men, I will devote myself to your service. My word, I have some nice bargains for you now. First of all there is Ribbon Velvet over one inch wide at dd a yard; another lot of lovely Feather Kdge Ribbon, beautiful colours, includ ing blue and pink, 5d a yard; also another lot or the lovely did Ribbon, and I must say it is going so fast that I was thinking of raising the price. I wish my 6d Dres3 Improvers wei\J going halt us well as myls6d Crinolines have been doing lately. Men's Leather Slippers (before I forget it)! 2s 6d a pair. I have just bought over.lß doz. more Stays (white ones this time), and am selling them, well at 4s. They are the same kind as the last lot, only white, and not a spot on them; coloured Silk Fringe, 3d yd: Black do., dd to 6d. I am doubtful if there will be a pair of my S. \\. Prunella Boots (without toe caps), left by Christmas, as there has been a great run on them lately; and no wonder, when lam selling them at 8s 6d, and in Queen-street they are Us 6d. Come and see my other .prunella Boots from 53 to 7a 0d; wide black Hercules Braid, 2d a. rard; nice lot, but not many.

Men's very largo Cotton Handkerchiefs, id each. Come and see my Ruffling at 6d a yard. I have just bought over 30 dozen more Black Lace Falls, better than the last, but I will sell them at the same price, namely, Is each; Mantle Ornbments, dd each; White Scarf Lace, 9d a yard. Stout Ladies can now obtain superior large sound Stays at 3s a pair, and I have also large old fashioned ones that lace behind, at the same price. I am going to let you have a nice bargan for a little while in Towels, at 6d each; a few pairs of Women's and Children's damaged Boots left, at 2s and 2s Cd a pair; Sheath Knives, dd each; superior do., 6d. I have Butchers' Knives, over 10 inches long in the blade. Is each; Shoemaker do., 3d e'leh; White-handled Knives and Forks, 9d a pair. Tell your friends, ladies, about my splendid Stays I mentioned in my laatadvertisa ment, many of which have scarcely a spot on them. I have sold as many as about 2| dozen pairs of Stays in one flay since I bought them and I very much doubt if any other shop in Auckland ever sojd as many in one day. Now mind you ladies don't lose them, as I certainly never had such a bargains in Stayß before. Since I have taken to show my Infants Coloured Boots ; they go flying at 18 9d.
