CAPTURE OF WINIATA, THE MURDERER.

[by telegraph.] Auckland, To-day.

Winiata, the murderer of a fellow* v . servant named Parker, at Cleghorn’s farm, Epsom, in January, 1876, who !,, has since been a refugee in the King : ' country, was captured to-day and brought into Hamilton by Constable Gillies. Plans for the capture were laid by the police at the Whatiwhatihoe meeting. Winiata was then living at Te Kuiti, 45 miles inland. The police enlisted the services of a half-caste named Barlow, who went to Te Kuiti . tirading for pigs with Winiata, supplying •' him with grog and making himself generally agreeable, and having in gtabated himself in this way, in Wini ata’s confidence,he induced him tocome V mto his (Barlow’s) settlement, twenty . hve miles distant from Kikikihi. Here Barlow, who is a very powerful man, • seized him and conveyed him single-

handed to Te Awamutu, where he de livered him to the local police. He will be brought up before the Bench at Hamilton to-day.

HANLAN’S SECRET.

The Newcastle Daily Chtonicle of April 4, writing in regard to the great sculling match which had occurred the preceding day on the Tyne, says of the winner : —“ Hanlan demonstrated to day that he sculls.as no other man ever seen on this river has done, and we are bound to admit that he has dethroned the traditional monarchs of the oars. His great reach, the machine-like . movement which he displays when in action, the generalship in rowing, his ' singular personal strength, and his high intelligence, all join to make him such a rower as, in our opinion, has never . hitherto been known, and many years

may pass over before another proficient ' of such surpassing excellence is seen. , It would appear as if all those who have studied his style of rowing have

•yet failed to secure his secret, which, - after all, is the combination of the ,'.whole of the excellencies of style and power which we have just men tioned.”

rjpHE FUTURE OF NEW ZEALAND. As the future prosperity of these sunny isles depends in a great measure on the support which is given to colonial manu fonfnvoei A. Craighead & Co., MERCHANT TAILORS, Tancred street, Have determined to encourage the manufacture of Colonial Tweeds as much as the requirements of their business will permit. By following this course they will be enabled not only to foster the growth and development of the internal resources of New Zealand, but will alsc be enabled to offer to their friends, patrons, and the general public a very SUPERIOR ARTICLE AT A MODERATE PRICE. To carry this idea to a practical issue they have just been favored with a large consignment of the CELEBRATED KAIAPOI TWEEDS, Manufactured to their special order for the coming season. As these Tweeds are equal, and in some respects superior, to anything of the same class that can be imported, they feel confident that, by strict attention to business, and by the exercise of their usual care in cutting and fitting, they will continue to give that satisfaction which their rapidly increasing business warrants them in believing they have given in the past.
