purposes of spore in the Domain, and those who enjoyed sport in the grounds were not confined to ratepayers or resi dents in the Borough. He thought the soale of fees was a liberal one. Mr Paul was also of opinion that the 1 clubs had.little reason to complain of the amouno they were required to give in re turn for what they enjoyed. Mr Cuthbertson supported Mr Thomas in his contention that the division was not equitable. , Mr Scaly, defending the position of the Caledonian Society, said Boxiug Day was not the only holiday available, and besides it occurred at a time when people wenf out of the district holiday making, where as they stayed at homo at Easter. The Caledonian Society had paid towards the first cost of the track, and at once, while there had been trouble for some time in getting the Cycling Club's contri bution. The track as it stood before the cyclists touched it at all was perfectly satisfactory to the Caledonian Society, who, for that matter could rua their two or three races on a grass track. \ considerable amount of free dis cussion took place, and ultimately the Committee's report was adopted, against an amendment by Mr Thomas to refer the report back to the Committe for considera tion—Mr Thomas and Mr Cuthbertson osly voting for the amendment.

Photo graphic groups of the survivors were taken; also groups of colonists of fifty years standing. The meeting in the Choral ; Hall to-night was crowded. Dr J. Logan I Campbell (1840) presided. Letters were I read from the Governor, Lord Glasgow, I and joint congratulatory telegrams from I Sir George Grey and a number of Auck [ land members. Such a collection of old I settlers will never probably be seen again lin Auckland. Some dated their landing I from 1823.

Co-operative Wool Selling

Thfi following will speaK for itself to all who are interested in the question of wool. It is the summary ot a circular issued privately by Mr J. W. Hainsworth, of the tirm of Cameron, Hainsworth, and Co., Coleman street, E.G., in June, but now, having received gratifying support from many interested parties, Mr Hains worth is anxious that his scheme should be more widely known and discussed in the colonies. He suggests the formation of a wool union of producers and im porters, to deal with wool and sheep !>kins on the same lines as at present I worked by the London wool brokers, and (if thought desirable) to have their own warehouses for the housing of produce. It is pointed out that in 1891 more than ! 1,500,000 bales of wool were catalogued in London, representing, at £13 lO.s per bale (the average computed price for last year, and the lowest recorded in the whole history of the wool trade), a total sumof ±120,200,000, on which commission!* I and chaiges were paid by the importers. A company with a capital of half a million, in £10 shares (tirst issue to be of 10,000 fully paid-up shares), is voted sufficient to work 300,000 bales a, year ; and it is assumed that the income would give a gross profit of £30,800, and, after deduct ing necessary charges, realise a 15 per cent dividend, and allow of about £10,000 being carried forward. It is claimed by the promoters of the union that buyers, having no preference for any one broker, would attend in full fcrce throughout the series of wool sales and compete for each not on ita own merits.
