TEMPERANCE MEETING AT REMINGTON.

[FROM A CORRESPONDENT. 1 Ona of the most enj yable Q-spei Temperance meetings we ever remember took place at Flemington on Friday evening last, and was well attended. The Rev A. Blake presided, and after devotional exercise, delivered a capital address, basing his remarks on a temper ance stst a ment which appeared in the JLehburton Guardian. The rev ger.t'eman pointed oat the success of the cause they advocated, at the same time showing that there was still work to be done. Amongst other efforts which might be put forth, Women’s Temperance Unions might bai formed with pr«t advantage. The hymn, “Yield not to Tempt tion,” was then sang, after which Mr Dunn read •* Another Glimpse of Home Life.” Florrie Prebble (a child of four years) sang “ Mary had a little lamb ” surprisingly well, and Mr B* m’ey’s ] reading “ Fcr A aid Lang Syne.” which followed was a masterpiece. Mr James Osborne was encored for h « song “The Happy Temperance Army, afterwards singing to the amusement of the Juvenile portion of the audience, “ Wee-wee Wee wee ” Mr K. Gilmour as usual created much fua by his reading “The Scotchman’s mistake on the under ground railway.” Mr G Gilmour’ssorg “ Falling hard against the stream, was well sung and highly appreciated by the audience'. Master S. Anderson recited a capital piece, “I am but small.” The piece which took the most during the evening was “ The Professor of Physic, acted by Messrs H. Steel and Marten, from Ashburton. Too mush praise can not be accorded these young g.mtlemaß for the way In which their various parts were taken. Mr Wheeler sang In a most taking manner “ Joe Perkins,” the audi ence taking op the chorus. A reading by the Chairman brought the meeting to a close, when the people dispersed to talk over the enjoyment they had experienced.

A FOOTBALL DISPUTE.

Auckland, September 9. A s meeting of the Auckland Rugby Union to-night, the following resolution# •wore unanimously carried re tha embrogiio over the Auckland aod Wellington match: ««m That any. bonus promised to the Wellington football team be at once forwarded to them (£2O voted). (2) That •a the Wellington team, when in Auck land, did not question the ruling of the Auckland umpire, and freely acknow ledged that they had lost the match, this Union fails to understand why the Wel lington team should have aiaited until they reached Wellington before they dis covered they had reason to find fault with the Auckland umpire; seeing that the umpires have no p war to interfere m the game without the concurrence of the referee, anything that required to be said should have been said in Auckland, when the statement’ could have been at once met and con futed. (3) The resn't, then, of the 4 searching enquiry’ and the rajort of the three (Wellington) gentlemen, referred to In the resolutions of the Woffington Bugby Union, will be a matter of entire Indifference to this Union. (4) That t -, is Union insists, in a spirit of fair play to their umpire and to the referee chosen by both teams (who is also blamed by implication), on having an emplo apology for the gratuitous insalt offered to these gentlemen. (5) That until snob apology is made, this Union, in justice to itself, will decline to allow any matches ‘to be played with representatives of the Wel lington Union. (6) That a copy of the above resolutions be forwarded the several Rugby Unions of the co’ony.

VILLAGE SETTLEMENTS

The systen of village settlement: inaugurated by the present Minister fo Lands promises to be thorough!] successful, and to assist largely ir solving the problem of colonisation. Ir the Wellington and Hawke’s Bay pro vincial districts hundreds of families have found homes for themselves undei this system, and thriving townships are springing up where only a year or two ago there was nothing to be seen fqi miles and miles but apparently inter minable forest. Indeed, the progress made in some localities is so marvellous as to be incredible to those who have not seen it; as, for instance, at Pahia tua, situated between Woodville and Wellington. Little more than twelve months ago two or three small build ings, a country hostelry, and a few acres of clearing were the sole evidences of civilisation, while, thanks to the village settlement scheme, there is row quite a populous township, with its newspaper, its puolic school, its places of worship, and its Bank agencies, in short, all the elements of an embryo city. As a consequence town sections have risen in value enormously, and allotments which would not have fetched a ten pound note two years ago are now valued for ten or twenty timee that sum. All this because all round Pahiatua village settlements have been established, so that it is or will soon be the centre of business for many hundreds of fancies thus settled on the soil. And what has been done in that locality is, we are pleased to see, being repeated in Auck land also. In several parts of that provincial district areas of land have been brought under this system, and

thrown open for application, and (to quote from the Herald) “ it is very gratifying to all those who have looked on the vil’age settlement scheme as the most important new departure made for many years in the actual placing of people on the lands, to learn that as the day draws near on which appli cations must be received the interest in the scheme has been growing. Already some hundreds of people, apparently of the requisite stamp, have called at the Lands Office examining the surveys and eliciting information ; and it is believed that on the date at which applications will be made, there will be applicants far more numerous than the lots avail able. In anticipation of this contin gency Mr London has already renewed his application for additional lands for settlement, and a telegram from Mr Ballance expresses the Minister’s readi ness to promptly meet the requirements of the people, so that nothing may stand in the way of their settlement on the land.” All this is as it should be, and we congratulate Mr Ballance upon the success which is crowning his honest efforts in the sister island. But while doing so, we earnestly call upon him to take means to extend the benefits of the village settlement system to all parts of the Middle Island also. Something is, we believe, being done in this direction down about Gatlin’s River, and in some parts of

this provincial district, but in many parts of this island, in Canterbury in particular, there are no Crown lands: available in localities in which it is especially desirable that the village settlement scheme should be brought into operation, as for example in the immediate neighborhood of Oamaru, Waimate, Tiraaru, and Ashburton ; though were village settlements esta blished in these localities a speedy end would be put to the unemployed diffi culty, and a great fillip given to the progress of the places named. What is needed is that some system should be devised under which the requisite land may be acquired by the Crown, and there is no subject to which the atten tion of Ministers can be more profitably devoted than to the working out of the necessary legislative measure to bring such a scheme into operation. The efforts of private members in this direction and the discussions which took place last session on the subject will supply many useful hints and ideas, and although the subject is necessarily surrounded by difficulties, a workable plan can, we feel sure, be developed if only the task be gone about with energy and determination. During the last hours of the session the matter was brought up by a ques tion put by the hon. member for Lincoln, Mr O’Callaghan, and the members for Waimate and Waitaki deputationised the Minister of Lands with reference thereto. In both instances a reply was given that careful attention should be devoted to the subject during the recess, with a view to the preparation of a Government measure to be sub mitted next session, and we are glad to observe by a recent Press Association message that steps are already being taken to give effect to those promises. We trust that Mr Ballance will succeed in producing a satisfactory and workable measure, and that so soon as the sanction of Parliament is obtained no time will be lost in extending to all parts of the colony the advantages which already various portions of it are deriving from the operation of the village settlement system, .

RUGBY FOOTBALL.

This Is what the Sydney Bulletin thinks of football under Rugby rules —“ For right down brutal sport commend us to a dog-fight, Grseco-Romsn wrestling, and last, bat by no means least, a game of Rugby football. In the intercolonial match on Saturday one of the Queensland team was carried off the field with a broken collar-bone, and another with his head open. We presume that the authorities put their foot on prize-fighting on account of its alleged brutalising tendency. If such Is the case, then why allow Rugby football as a lawful game ? In a prize fight a blocdy nose and a black eye are usually the worst iojuries. If a man is thrown during a fight he has but one man to fall on him. In Bugby football it is • saoks-on-the-mill,’ and God help the undermost, who is lucky vjf he escapes with a broken collar-bone. We don’t object to the young ’uns maiming them selves if it pleases them, but it seems a farce for tho law to make fish of one and fowl of the other, on the score of bru t silty, as there have been far more per manent injuries between the goal posts than between the posts of a prize ring.

The ordinary hi monthly meeting of the above Board was held on the 6th inst. at Longlanda Cottage. Present Messrs Wright (in the Chair), Dowdiog, MoKesge and Withell.

It was decided to scoop out 35 chains of ditch on Brogden’a roid, and fill up holes in the centre of the road with the material.

It was also resolved that about 20 chains of road near Windermere be re formed.
