previous meeting made use of tha remark that if the booths were bought by the temperance people the intemperate men would have to go without The Chairman brought the discussion back to the point. He had answered Mr Thomas. Mr James Brown, Netherby, Wakanui, asked if it was compulsory on the buyer of a booth to sell intoxicating liquor ? The Chairman said the advertisement spoke for itself. If a publican's booth was bought, it was bought for the purpose of selling liquor. Mr Brown said that though the temper ance party bought the booth they could not deprive them of liquor. He was a temperate man, so far as the personal use of liquor was concerned, but he thought this proposition had not been brought forward at the proper time. The best thing for these forty-six gentlemen to do was to join the Association at once, and organise and muster their forces so that they may b« able to carry their point at a future time. He had seen enough of human nature to know that if liquor were* stopped bhab way, men would take it on the ground m a bottle and there would be a little family luncheon on the ground with the liquor accompanying. He would much like to see steps taken to get good liquor sold, instead of running it off altogether. He had been at all the Ashburton shows that had been held, and he could say the Ashburton people had been well behaved indeed, and were very far from drunken. A man could do worse than take a glass of good brandy on a hot day at a show. He had been recently on a visit to the Mildura irrigation colony. (A Voice—Only water tthero.) That was a prohibition place, but he had seen more drunkenness there than anywhere. Twenty-six cases of sly grog selling had been dealt with there m one day. The sort of temperance he: would like to sea was that proceeding from the education of the young people as to the evil that followed excess. He would, of course, submit if the motion were carried, but he would like to see those gentlemen members of the Associa tion. Mr A. W. Randell pointed out that if he bought the confectioner's booth, and the lessee of the publican's booth was permitted to sell tea, he would have a claim on the Association lor breach of contract. Mr Ldadley said the publican sold tea now, for he had had luncheon m the publican's booth with tea, and had paid his half-crown. Mr Max Friedlander thought this petition should be held over till next general meeting. Ihe temperance people were too late m the field. Besides, he failed to see why m a free country like this any number of gentlemen should see fit to step m with a petition like this to atop others from procuring on the ground what refreshment they wished, or felt they stood m need of. He had been at all the shows held m Ashburton and had only seen one or two drunken men. The people took too much interest m the. stock to get drunk. Publicans said the booths did not pay them, as the quantity of liquor consumed was not sufficient to yield a profit on the outlay and trouble taken, and the amount received for the booths by the Association was less and less every year. He would move as an amendment that it be an instruction to any buyer of the booth privilege to provide all classes of spirits and beer. The Chairman supposed that only good classes were meant. Mr William Jamieson, Wakanui, seconded the amendment. Mr Leadley pointed oub that there had been an increase last year on the amount of money received from the sale of privileges. Mr Max Friedlander said that was true as .regarded the privileges as a whole, but publicans' booths had decreased ; it j wasV.'ie other privileges that sho wed an increase*- Mr Leadley asked Mr Max iriedlander to withdravT his amendment, and let the voting take place on the main issue, .so that that it could be settled once for all tiiis year. Mr Thomas contended that the question could not be dealb with this year. Rules 15 an<i 16 of the Association's code pro vided that no regulation or by-law could be altered without notice given, adoption at one meeting, and confirmation aba a second. The Chairman ruled that these clauses did not apply, as the selling of liquor was neither a regulation nor a by-law. Mr C. Reid urged seeing that the liquor solti was the best, and the price of refresh meata of every kind reasonable. Mr Phin«as Roberts, Maranui, said they had heard thab day that some of the mem bers would desert if thers were no grog, ■said that others would desert if there were grog. [Mr Leadley—The temperance men never said they would desert.] As Mr Max Friedlander had said, it was a free country, and men ought to be allowed m this matter some freedom of choice. If th.ere were no liquor sold on the ground, those who wished it. would carry it there ia a flaskv He hoped the Chairman would confine the meeting to the business m hand, because some of them from a dis tance would haw to go soon. The Chairman stated the amendment was __" That- the petition he held over till the first general meeting next year, and that whoever buys the publicans' booths must sell beer and spirits of good quality." Mr Bullock would prefer to see the amendment withdrawr;, as there were gentlemen who ffould vote against both ft and the morion. He would for one. Mr Max Friedlander would not with draw, as the amendment, if passed, would <*ive the gentlemen whose names wore on 'that document a chance to join the As sociation and thresh out the question. Mr Chapman said the promoters of the petition made no threats of desertion or Otherwise. They only asked the Associa tion to give a vote, and would rather see a straight out vote upon the question. They did not want to carry the motion right over their heads, by bringing a crowd m simply to oub vote. That would smash the Society. He was pleased to see so large a meeting, as it showed great interest was taken m the decision of the question. Temperance people took the highest ground m this matter, Jt was an excellent Society, but they wished Jo see it more excellent still, by driving-froip their mids,* one «f the greatest curses of the age. They did not require to go far Ito see the evil effects; of drink. It comd be seen m their own afreets. When they countenanced fche sale et donk they helped by that countenance to degrade their fellow men. The time was when he would have been amonggt those who opposed this motion., but he had seen enough of the evils of drink himself, without any temperance lecturer, to enlist Ijis sympathies on the side of temperance. If they lost this motion now, they would ®om> again and again with it, forfchey were i •as persistent as worms ; and it may be that; anany of those who were its opponents Sow would be m favor of it another tirn^ They did not caro to come m with forty new "men and swamp a meeting. Membef would .then say they had been ridden over, and the temperance people did not wish h? ride over them, but rather that they should .«ee the .question i» tjie same light as they u'd* . Dr Tweed said it ivTW absurd for tha temperance people to tij to prevent , people from doing wjiat they themselves had found out they could not do. -H-6 advised that the motion and not the amendment should be withdrawn. X Jbhe former were carried, he, who did nob like bun?, nor tea, nor shooting galleries would be as much justified m moving for •fclie abolition, of theae things jr? thf

temperance people were m trying to prevent him from having a glass oi whisky if hu liked to have it. The amendment was then put, and the voting was —for, 31 ; against, 13. $ or the motion there voted, 9 ; against, 33. ( The proceedings clwsed with a vote of f thanks to the Chairman..

♦ [per press association] Tli« Triiili Party. Wellington, October 12. At a meeting of the Wellington branch of the Irish National Federation it was resolved that a fund be raised for the Irish Parliamentary Party m Great Britain.

Mr Elston has made arrangements with Mr Snazelle, the popular entertainer; to appear in Aahburton at an early date. In the list of handicaps for the Timaru trotting races, published yesterday, Miss Isabella Button's b g Star, 22secs start for the 1£ Mile Dash Handicap, was omitted. Messrs Tucker and Bean advertise that they have on hand a stock of (Main's manures. These have gained a high reputa tion, and their genuineness is established — which is a great point in these days of adulteration. At the usual parade last evening the members of the Ashburton Rifles decided to parade for Divine Service on Sunday at ten o'clock. Service will be conducted in the Oddfellows' Hall, the Rev T. W. Newbold being the preacher. The, monthly meetings of the Ashburton and Hampatead School Committees were held on Tuesday evening. At each the reports of the Inspector on the recent examinations were received. Our reports of the meetings are held over, but will appear to-morrow. The Ashburton Masonic Lodge, at their monthly meeting to-morow evening, will be visited by the R. W.M., officers and members of the Thistle Lodge. Other visitors are invited.

His worship the Mayor will preside. The last of the social gatherings for the season, in connection with St. Stephen's Church, was held in the church schoolroom oa Tuesday evening. The gathering was a very successful one, the attendance number ing nearly 200 persons, The room was prettily decorated, the walls hung with pictures and the small tables dotted about the room occupied with photo albums and engravings (among which we noticed some beautiful Art Union etchings lent by Mr J. M. Cambridge). Th« programme of music was most excellent, and included songs by Mrs Brooke, Miss Lovegrove (of Timaru), Mr W. B. Dixon (of Rakaia), Mr Horace Gates j a vocal duet by Mrs Denshire and Mr Dixon.; a piano solo by Mrs Maybe ; a violin solo by Miss Simmonds. Songs too were given .by two the of choristers of the church — John Kempthorne and Arthur Purnell — both of whom with care and diligence will make good vocalists. Miss Shirtcliffe contributed a recitation with her usual ability. An exceedingly pleasant evening terminated at 10.15 with the Natioaal Anthem.
