Ashburton Guardian Magna est Veritas et Prævalebit. WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 22, 1890. THE PROPOSED SWIMMING CLUB.

Though when there is anything good in the market commercml men are anxious to be "in the swim," and though it is the ambition of everyone to get along " swimmingly," it is surprising how very many more people can take part in the swim figurative than in the swim actnal. Probably not one man in ten, and not one woman in a hundred, but would drown if by accident they fell into water much over knee-deep, their capa-1 cities for natation being only in one direction, that is toward the bottom. Even ia the navy—in the merchant service at anyrate—sailors who can swim are the exception, not the rule, notwithstand ing that their lives' business is to "go down unto the sea in ships," and they are constantly exposed to the risk^of being washed' or blown overboard, of being capsized in boats, and the thou sand-and-one accidants which mean very frequently "either swim or drown." Yet there are populations in the world where swimming is as general,an accomplish ment as walkingorrunoing, eating, drink ing or sleeping; as for instance among the natives of the South Beas, who disport in the water like mermaids from their very infancy, and whom it is scarcely possible to drown. The natatory art is, therefore, one which it is easy to acquire, and it is surprising that it is not more generally cultivated. Were it so the "New Zealand death," as it has been termed, would be shorn of its long roll of victims, and instead of being the most common, drowning would be the most rare cause of accidental dissolution. Dut as in Mrs Glass's celebrated recipe it is necessary first to catch your hare, so is it a first necessity to learning to swim that there should be water to swim in, and that of a Bui table breadth and depth and in a conveniently accessible locality, and it has doubtless been to the absence of these conditions that hitherto there has been but little attention given to the natatory art in Ashburton, But we have "changed all that," thanks to the enterprise of the Borough Council, and there is now an excellent swimming bath in the Domain within easy access of everybody. Those then who can swim —and we have some well known experts, one or two of whom wear medals won in swimming contests elsewhere—and those who desire to learn have now the oppor tunity afforded them, while all and singular when the hot weather comes (as it will, no doubt, presently), can in dulge in that luxury of all luxuries on a hot dusty day, a cool refreshing bath. But it would be well if some pains were taken to ensure that rowdiness and larrikinism shall be excluded from the baths, and in order to this some super vision is necessary. This has been al ready thought of, and we are glad to notice that a public meeting is called for to-morrow evening at the Council Chambers with a view to the formation of a Swimming Club for Ashburton, the heads of which shall, it will be proposed, co-operate with the Council in this direction, and assist, not only in furthering an interest in swimming by holding competitions, but also in secur ing the good management of the baths and the comfort and convenience of bathers and swimmers. We hope that all who take an. interest in this healthful, useful and graceful exercise will attend, and that the result will be the formation of a strong and successful Club.

It is not often a driver can boast of having smashed two drays in one day. A Rangiora man can do this.

The " Advocate" hears, on reliable authority that, despite the favourable reports which indioate that Sir Harry Atkinßon's health is rapidly improving, his condition is suoh &s to preclude the possibility of his resuming the duties of his position at the coming session of Parliament. It is, in faot, unlikely that, for a considerable time, if again at any time, he will be a prominent factor in New Zealand politios, his collapse has been bo general and complete.

Mr Stratford informs the " Auckland Star " that he is very well satisfied with his pros pects in the Eermadecs, and speaks in eulogistic terms of the olimate, soil, and productiveness of Sunday Island. There is, he says, a living there for many more families in addition to the people already settled at Ddnham Bay. Sub-tropioal fruits especially grow luxuriantly, and in this branoh of culture he believes the immigrants will do, exceedingly well. Of course just now they' are roughing it on the island, working hard and living very plainly in tente or wbaires, but they expect before long to be thriving and comfortable.

The Eev J. J. Lewis bus been eleoted President of the Weßleyan Conference for the ensuing year. Mr Lewis (sags the Lyttelton Times") arrived in the Colony in 1870, together with the Bavds J, S. Smalley, F, W, Isitt, and W. J. Williams. He entered the ministry in England in 1868, and spent two years at Biohmond College. He has labored in some of the most important circuits iv New Zealand, and bas been particularly suc cessful in evangelistio work. He is also a diligent student. His firut station in the colony was Auckland, whence he removed to Wellington, where bis health failed, and necessitated a visit to England. Sinae his return he has labored at Mornington, Waimate, Napier,' Ohristohurob, and St. Albans, where he is at present stationed.

During the reoent trip of the Governor and party to the interior (says the "Dunedin Herald") several shooting expeditions were organised. Hie Excellency proved to ba a phenomenally craok shot. Forty goats are said to have fallen before his rifle, and when rabbit shooting he used instead of a fowling pieoe a Franootte pea rifle, and with that he never failed onoe to bring down whatever bunny he fired at. On one of these expedi tions near Hyde—after a specially stiff climb— His Excellency, doubtless with bis mind fixed npon the glorifioation of the " garden of Otago" by the genial Vincent on a reoent oooasion, was heard to observe, as he wiped the perspiration from hia brow, " Humph ( This may be a garden wall, bat it's the broadest' garden wall' I have ever seen."

Dr Sprigg, a visitor from Viotoria, writes as fnliows in a letter to the "Otago Daily Times ':—" A glance tha visitors' book at the various places of interest shows bow few, comparatively, of Australian tourists make trips hitherward; with our love of travel one would have thought otherwise. But the reaßon is not far to seek; it lies in the exor bitant and well nigh prohibitory fares charged by the Union Company, owing no doubt to there being no competition. More's the pity* If the steamer fares were reasonable, with all your facilities for comfortable travelling by rail, coaob, or lake steamers, hundreds of tourists would revel in your island beauties where now but one or two oome. Your Exhibition does you infinite credit, even after the impression left on one's mind by our monster chow in Melboure last year. One thing surprises me, that is, that you do not give your Bohool children greater facilities for seeing the Exhibition, You should imitate Viotoria, and bring them from all parts at a merely nominal rate."

The annual general meeting of members of the Ashburton County Hunt Olub was held at the Commercial Hotel last night There waa a good attendance of members : and the ohair was occupied by the Depaty ' Master, Mr G. H. Alington. j BEPOBT AND BALANCE SHBBT. • The Committee's report aud balance • Bheet were read. The report was as ' follows :•— In presenting the annual balance sheet . for the pact year, the Committee have again great pleasure in congratulatiug ' the members upon the highly satisfactory ' financial potition ot the Club, viz., £110 14s 6d Burplns of Assets over liabilities, ' bein< some £71 0s 8d more than last year, notwithstanding the extra sum paid Mr. , Sannders for hunting the hounds, viz, f £125, as against £110 paid to Me Worner for the previoai period. When taking ; the above particuiars into consideration . your Committee trust that members will feel satisfied with the position of the Olub. The year was commenced with credit,' balanoes amounting to £29 8s lOd, and; now, after payment of all liabilities in' connection with the Olub, your Commit'ea; are able to report having £102 lie 6d: standing to the credit of their acoounti i with several good subscription* fetill to come in.

The hunting accouni eho^s a eurplua of receipts over expenditure , of £30 2s, steeplechase eocount shows I a -urpluß of receipts over expenditure of £36 16b 9d (after deducting £4 15a 4d net expenses of Point to Point Steepleohna c), and the Jtiuot Olub ball account also shows a surplus of receipts over expenditure' of £6 3i lid. The number ofjmnmbers this year is 153 with subscriptions £173 2s as against 107 members with subscriptions i £121 10b 6d for the previous year, showiing an increase of 46 members with subscrip tions £51 11s 6d more than the sum re ceived from the same source last year/ and it is anticipated that out of the six subscriptions still outstanding three may be considered perfectly good; On reviewing the banking seusoa It will be noticed that the honada ware honied fegolatly threa days a fortnight by Mr Edward Saanders from the mlddie of: April to tbe end of July and a number o t really splendid dayi sport were enjoy el by those who took part la them.

Yoat Committee have not purchased anjr hounds, /but have a few couple under offir whioh if suitable ther would recommend por-.i chasing In order to keep up the strength' of tbe pack, aa several of the older hounds may prove rather ulow, and will probably have to be destroyeu, 'tluo bail iv con nection with the Oiub waa held la the Oddfellows' Hall, on 16 h August, with mos;; satiifaotory results, leaping a surplus of £6 3a lid. Farmers whose properties had been bunted over daring the season, received complimentary tickets, and your Committee ate pleated to report that a greater number availed themselves of the invitations to the ball than to the previous complimentary dinners^ The thanks of tbe Olub are certainly due to the many ladles and gentlemen who so ably and Hberally^rendered thalr aislstanee,in many oases at great expense and personal iuoon veaience. It is entirely owing to thete co operation that the ball was such a Boooess; the ladles oonneoted with the hunt supplying the supper gratuitously.—' Tho loason was brought to a oloee by the Point to Point steeplechase, which was held :lu the Wakanol distriot on 14.h August. Sevan entries were rsoelved, and all the horses starting made a very pretty taoe. The ocursa was nearly the same as that of the previous year, and being a remarkably good one for apeota tors was very largely attended, the greatest interest apparently being taken In the event, whioh your Committee feel sure will now beoome an annual one ; and if held earlier in the season would greatly tend to,make the Olub more popular than It is, even at tbe present time. The preions whose country was crossed deierve the best thanks of tbe members for placing their properties at the disposal of the sub Committee.—The other busi ness this evening will be the eleotion of officers and the consideration of routine and othon business. la oonoluslon, your Oommiitee beg to thank tbe farmers and othern who have so cheerfully forwarded tbe interests of the Oiub, by plaolng coun try at their disposal i also to thank Mr F.

The Chairman moved the adoption of the report and balance sheet, which were, he said most faisfactory. Tn regard to the work of the last season he said that the hounds were ia better condition and ran better than ever before and conse quently there had bean a greater number of kills. Be regretted to notice that I there had been a disposition on the part of some of the members to themselves hunt the hare instead of leaving that 1 to the hounds. It was not sportsmanlike, though, no doabt, ttiose he ieferred to were not aware that they wete doing anything they should not. fie hofoed, there would be no ocoadqa |o refer to, Oils matter again.

We produce them in plenty, and o*p place' them in London at a aoaaon when the welcome tabor Is scarce and dear tbera;, and gives a common-sense metaod of packing and stowing, with a proper tem perature and ventilation during the voyage, there la no reason why the venture should not leave a fair margin of profit. But the idea la not a novel one, by any means. : I know a group of Islands situated in the middle of the. Gutf stream, and about 700 mflea from lifew Yv;rk. Although, geographically tpeaklng, the olimatea of tha two puces should be about the aame they are quite different opltg, to the warm water wnloh aarrounds tbe gioup for ouo hundred miles lo every direction. And the consequence ia that the Islanders can , place potatoes In New York, and dispose of the whole crop newly a mouth earlier *ih»n they can be got oven from the Southern States. They used to be sent In ordinary Ametioan flaur barrels, and wera readily sold at aevea dollars to the barrel. The farmers who Rie* theae potittoea, rarely thonght of eating any themselves. They were content with the ordinary iriah potato, alwaya imported from America. A good story was * once told me by a farmer there.; 1 The profit to be made! out of an acre of arrowroot was the

sobjeot. I forget what the aumuai; but it appeared to leave a Urge nWrpln- over expeasoH. " Bat yon see," said the mm, "I think 1 spoiled It.": "Iv what way."

11 Why, yoa see, It takes eighteen months

for the arrowroot tj grow, and we oan easily get three crops of most thlnga In twelfe < months. My rowa of arrowroot

*ere pretty wide apart, to I thought I would haye lome potatoes while it was eomlng npi" "Ahl lace. So you put potatoes In between the arrowroot." "fee, that's jait It* I got two oropi of potatoes that way, but the lest crop was not a heavy crop." "No wonder, how muoh did yon make by the potatoes!" " Well, I forget now—a tidy bit though. But there was a trlfla of something else."

'•What mother crop?" "Why, yei; while the potatoes wa:e coming up, I sprinkled In a few onion seeds, and in a week or two there wu a fairish lot of what you In England oall iprlng onions. The fleet happened to oome In from Halifax jast when they were ready, and the little onions went off aa fait aa I could tie up the bandies and tend them along side, They pretty well p»W the labor expended on the. whole acre. Bat you see, I don't think \ got the beat out of the arrqwoot^V These, rldlaulona ■■ aa they appear, ate faota. The same thing Is done now; The soli la a natural forcing-bad.

EMIN PASHA

Colonel H. G. Prout^ in, the November ♦' Scribner," gives the following pen, picture of Emm Pasha, whom he knew about thirteen years ago :—" In person Emm is-a slender man of medium height and tough and wiry figure. He is swarthy, with black eyes and hair. His face is that of a studious pro fessional man,, and that impression is heightened by the glasses he always wears; His attitudes and movements are, however, very alert. - -He stands erect and with his heels together, as if he had been trained >.as a soldier. He was always reticent about him-, self, and bis history was kjiown to no one in the Soudan or tfce provinces of the Equator;. He was supposed to be a Mohammedan. I am not sui;e that he ever said that he was, but I am quite sure that he did not deny it when I knew him. It has become known later that he is a German, of university educa tion; but there were many at that time who; thought he was a Turk, of e^!faof<Jina>T acquirements. He is certainjy a man of great abilities in many, ways, and cf strong character.," ;
