The Governor's Arrival.

ENTHUSIASTIC RECEPTION.

[PEE PRESS ASSOCIATION.]

Wellington, June 7. Th" Hinemoa, with the Governor and Lady 3 Glasgow and suite, arrived early this morning and lay m Worsor Bay until the dine came for moving up to the wharf. As soon as communication could be ob tained with her it was ascertained that she had met with a heavy sou'-weater and beam sea on Thursday, and had to be hove-to for two days. The vessel behaved excellently and took very little water on board, although Captain Fairchild said the seas were the heaviest he had met with for twent-eight years. The Gover nor, as an old naval officer, highly appre ciated the behaviour of the steamer, and complimented tha captain on his handling of her. . About noon, the Pukaki. Waihi, Huia, Kahu, Stormbird, Mana and other steamers moved down the Harbor, crowded with people, and circled round the Hineamoa, dipping their ensigns m token of welcome. At the wharf the lonic was reserved for ladies, who crowded the big steamer, which towered abovo the other vessels. There was a short delay after the Hinemoa arrived at her berth, and the Governor then stepped on the wharf to the accom paniment of salutes from the men-of-war, the volunteer battery, and the guard of honor. He was received by Mr H. D. Bell, the Mayor, who was supported by a band of municipal and other dignitaries, Consuls, and volunteer officers. After Mr Bell presented the civic address, the Harbor Board followed with their address, arid then came the Friendly Societies and the N«w Zealand Conference of the Wealeyan Church. All the addresses were brief, and Lord Glasgow replied still more briefly, though warmly to the words of welcome. Mr .Bell then read telegrams of welcome from the corporations of Auckland, Wanganiu, Invercargill and Gisborne, also from the Freemasons and Orangemen. The Maoris then had their turn. Puketo, of the Ngatirakawa tribe, and Kitaroa, of Te Aro, spoke a few words, and a Maori, dame, the wife of one of these chiefs, to , her great delight was introduced to the Countess of Glasgow, who welcomed her , kindly, and evidently took much interest j m her first acquaintance with the Maori race. This portion of the proceedings ( finished with hearty cheers for Lord j and Lady Glasgow, and the Volun teers who lined the gangway saluted. ( The procession of Friendly Societies and trades, etc., which had formed up outside ( the wharf, then moved off, headed by the Maori band from Otaki, and followed by , carriages containing the Governor, Lady Glasgow, members of their family, house- ( hold and officials. The Volunteers lined the main road, and a detachment of blue jackets from H.M.S. Ringarooma and : Goldfinch formed a guard of honor. At , the Seprerae Court a dais had been erected, where the procession stopped, and the oath of allegiance and official ; oaths were administered by the Chief Justice, upon which the guns thundered . forth a salute proclaiming that the go vernor had been formally and finally invested with office. More cheers were given, including seme for the Mayor, and Lord Glasgow's party were then driven to Government House. The Governor made no speech, aa had been expected. The Earl of Glasgow's assumption ot the Governorship of New Zealand is pro claimed m to-night's " Gazette."

MOUNT SOMERS.

The quarterly (annual) meeting of the Mount Somers Licensing Committee was held on Monday. Present — Messrs Andrew McFarlane(chairman), Alexander Harvey, John Hood, W. T. Chapman, and Win. Edson. The license of H. W. Felton for the Mount Somers Hocel was renewed. T J. Green applied for renewal ot his license for the Alford Forest Hotel. The police opposed the granting of the license on the grounds that drunkenness had been permitted upon the premises, and that the house was not properly conducted. Evidence was heard for the police and for the applicant, and the Committee decided to granfc the application, but kid down a certain rule of conduct for the licensee to follow, any deviation from which would render the license liable to forfeiture at any quarterly meeting of the Committee.

[per press association.]

Dunedin, Juneb. The Maori Hill Licensing Committee to-day refused to grant the only license m the district. The Boslyn Licensing Committee re fused the application for all three houses m the district, which is now without a hotel, on the ground that they were not required. One licensee oomplamed that at the suggestion of the former Committee he had spent about £600 m enlarging his premises. >_ Dunbmn, June 7. The North-East Valley Committee granted a renewal of all existing licenses. The chairman mentioned that there had not been a single case of drunkenness m the district during the year. Wanoanui, June 7. At the annual meeting of the Licensing Committee to-day, four old licenses were refused, reducing the number of houses* to fileven. All applications for extension of time to 11 p.m. were refused.

/^|Pt^V V. BLACK, watch& clock: i^^^py^ east street, ashburton UNDER THE MANAGEMENT 1)F MR ANDREW BLACK. Bronze Medallist for Watchmaking, London, 1887. Certificated from the City and Guilds of London Institute. Certificated from the British Horological Institute, London. First Award of Merit as a Workman frcm the People's Palace Exhibition, London MR ANDREW BLACK was a student at the British Horological Institute and passed through all the different Branches, making two watches, one a key winder and one keyless ; he is therefore thoroughly competent to repair properly any watches that may be entrusted to him. He has noticed, white m the colony, that watches are very often entirely spoiled through being entrusted for repair to men who lack the necessary training. No one but a practical man can understand how to repair a watch properly, and as there is no royal road to watchmaking, good teaching and years of practice are necessary before a man can (with truth) call himself a watchmaker. Anyone possessing » valuable watch cannot therefore be too careful to keep it out of the hands of un trained men. All work will now be done peTso^Uy by MR BIAOK.
