The Gambling Evil.

[PER FEESS ASSOCIATION.]

ArcKXAND, June 12. At a public meeting, convened by the Ministers' Association, to consider the best means of putting a stop to the grow ing evil of gambling, resolufcima were passed, asking the employers of labour to prohibit betting on their premises ; ask ing the Press to use its influence to condemn the spirit of gaming ; disapprov ing the practice of holding raffles and art unions and bazaars held for Church and charitable purposes, and petitioning the House of Representatives to abolish the totalisator. It is also recommended that circulars promoting betting and gaming should not be allowed to pass through the Post Office, and that it be made criminal for a bookmaker or anybody else to bet with a youth under seventeen years of age. Auckland, June 13. At the Baptist Church yesterday, the Rev. Mr North preached a powerful sermon against gambling, Referring to the totalisator he said it was a shame that the national sanction was given to such a national scourge as betting, and the shame was intensified by an instru ment of betting being made a source of national revenue. He urged that the legalisation of the totalisator ought to be annulled, and that a law should be enacted prohibiting newspapers from publishing betting quotations.

The New Zealand Athletic Team.

FIRST APPEARANCE IN ENG LAND. London, June 11. At the Tuffnell Park Amateur Athletic Sports to-day a cordial and enthusiastic welcome was extended to the New Zea land amateur athletic team, The grass track was m first-class condition, and capable of fast time being registered.

In the 100 Yards scratch event J. H. Hempton was second, the time of the winner being lOsecs. In the 440 Yards Hqrdles H. W. Batger, from scratch, finished second, the time being 61sec.

Fire at Palmerston North.

£4000 DAMAGES.

(per press association) Palmersxon North, June 13. A disastrous fire occurred m the Square at 3 a.m. yesterday, resulting m losses amounting to upwards of £4000. The fire broke out on the premises of Mont ague, auctioneer, and Sorrall, cabinet maker, and within half an hour those were completely destroyed. None of the stock was saved. The premises of Colville and Derrington, saddlers, were gutted and those of Salmon, tailor, partly des troyed. The stock from the last was saved, but greatly damaged by removal and the rain which was falling at the time. The stocks of Cook, cabinetmaker, Olsen, tailor, and Wickett and Co, drapers, m the block, were also removed and suffered damage m the same way. The Bank of New Zealand had a narrow escape, being considerably scorched.

EAST STREET, ASHBURTON UNDER THE MANAGEMENT OF MR ANDREW BLACK. Bronze Medallist for Watchmaking, London, 1887. [Certificated from the City and (ruilds of London Institute. Certificated from the British Horological Institute, London. First Award of Merit as a Workman frem the People's Palace Exhibition, L«ndo 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. s* He has noticed, while 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 ia 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 a valuable watch cannot therefore be too careful to keep it out of the hands of un trained men. \ll work will now be done personally by MR BLACK. Stopping and Troublesome Watches THOROUGHLY CURED. Chertsey, June 7, 1892. Mr Andrew Black, Ashburton. Dear Sir,—ln reply to your enquiry about the watch lam now wearing, I always like to give " honor to whom honor is due," and I am glad to state that ever since you repaired the watch it has given perfect satisfaction. The watch is a Rotherham and a good one, I left it with two different watchmakers m Ashburton and one m Christchurch before taking it to you, but none of these gentlemen were able to repair ib and make it go satisfactorily.—Yours truly, Nicholas Welsh.

We have to hand " Baby " an illustrated monthly magazine for mothers and those who have the care of children, edited by Mrs Ada S. Ballin, and published by J. Flack, 112 High Holborn, London, W.C. It contains an article on " The Nursery," by the editress; others are on "Infantile Con vulsions and their Management," by Dr Althous; "Outlines of Physiology and Hygiene," by Mrs Scharles, M.D.; "Songs for Children," "Children's Fashions," " Re wards and Punishments," " Nursery Cookery," " Unhappy Children,'' and " The Vocation of a Kindergarten Teacher." In the latter case the writer, says the first quality to be looked for m a teacher is h.igh moral principle, next a bright and pheerful nature, and ihjrdly ths sense and faculty of method and order. Another point is culture; for it is partly a mistaken notion of the lines of Kindergarten teach ing that has given rise to the absurd idea that because a student is not fit for teach ing m the higher or older classes of a high school, she may take her limited facul ties into the Kindergartan, The editress complains, m an accompanying circular that the contents of her magazine are pirated wholesale by an American publisher—Very unsatisfactory m one sense, though a high tribute to the excellence of "Baby."
