TO-DAY'S TELEGRAMS.

: «i [PBR PaBSS ASSOCIATION.] The Oil! CkUiih'. Marton, October 30. Mr J. Ivess addressed a lai-ge meeting at Ohinigati on Saturday evening. He commented strongly on the Premier naming Mr Stevens as a Government candidate, as against an old and faithful liberal like himself, and threatened, if Mr Seddon dared to come between himself and his supporters, he would appeal to them against such unscrupulous conduct. He also charged *ome one occupying a high position in the county with endea voring to bribe him by an offer of £250 to retire from the contest, and said he would rather commit suicide than accept a bribe. The question of his candidature was sub mitted to the meeting, and he was re quested by a resolution, carried by a large majority, to allow himself to be nominated. This he consented to, and he is now definitely out in opposition to Messrs Stevens and Lethbridge. Murray's Handbooks. Wellington, Ostober 30, With regard to the complaint that certain maps promised to Dr Pennefather by the Surveyor-General for "Murray's handbook of New Zealand" have been del*yed, to the serious inconvenience of the publishers, the Lands and Survey Department state the fact really is that neither Dr Pennefather nor Messrs Murray received a promise of any maps from the Surveyor-General. When Dr Pennefather arrived in London he asked that certain maps might be printed in New Zealand and sent to him, but he was told the woik con'd not then bo undertaken, but might bo at the close of the sestion.

TO STAND afc Methven and TRAVEL in the Rakaia and Methven Districts, THE PUREBRED AND HIGH-CLASS CLYDESDALE ENTIRE AWAMOA. AWAMOA. is by the champion horse Young Banker (1, N Z. Stud Book) imported from Scotland by the Hon Matthew Holmes. Dam, Lena, imported from Scot land, by Luck's All; g.d. Jessie Brown, imported, by Old Times, dam by Lochfergu Champion. AWAMOA is therefore a horse of great lineage; in fact he is one of the best bred horses in the world On one side he is sprung from Prince of Wales, and on the other from Lochfergus ; and anyone wko pretends to knowledge in these matters understands that these two sires were the most successful stud horses that the world has ever known. Awamoa has been a most successful breeder. The colt Regent was never beaten in the ring, and lowered the colors of the famous British Lion when only two years old, and was sold at 350 guineas The filly Nonpareil 11. has never been beaten wherever shown. It would occupy too much space to enumerate and comment on priaetakers that have sprung from Awamoa Besides being a great breeder, Awamoa had a good career in the show ring. As a yearling he took first prize at Oamaru, firs at Christchurch, first at Timaru, and first at Dunedin ; as a two-year-old,- first at Christ- ■ church and second at Oamaru; as a three year-old, first at Oamaru and champion of the yard ; following year second at Oamaru and second afc Timaru ; and when seven years old was chanif.ion afc Oamaru. It will thus be seen that Awamoa has been successful in the ring ; he has been very successful as a breeder; he has proved himself a sure foal getter ; honoe his value as a sire, and breeders should not miss such a chance, as they have not had auch a stallion in the district before.
