AUSTRALIANS v OX?OBD UNI VERSITY.

' London, June 1. In the match against Oxford, Graham 64 and Gregory 40 were the principal scorers for the colonials. Bathurst took five wickets for 40, and Arkwrighb five for 30. At the close of the day Oxford had lost five wickets for 128. Fry 37, Leveeon- Go«rers9. (Received June 3, 10.40 a.m.) London, June 2. The Oxford men are all out for 208. Arkwrighb Jscored 38, and Bat hurst was ■ not out with 33. In their second innings the Australians are making an excellent stand, and have scored 61 without the loss of a wicket. Trott is the principal scorer with 39 not out.

During May nineteen estates were placed under the charge of the Public Trustee. The Arawa, from London, via the Cape and Hobart, arrived at Wellington at 10.30 this morning. In Chambers yesterday Justice Denniston gave a decision confirming the resolution passed by the shareholders of the New Zea land Shipping Company, making certain changes in the articles of the incorporation of the Company. The effect of the altera tions is to enable the Company to trade in meat. The Ashburton Fire Police and S*lvage Corps met on Friday evening at M r Braddell's office—Mr Cambridge in the chair* The rules were considered and carried* The following officers were elected :—Super" intendent, Mr J. M. Cambridge; Senior Foreman, Mr Thomas Birch; Second Fore man, Mr T. E. Kilworth; Secretary, Mr Charles Braddell. It was decided to fix the subscriptions at 5s per annum per member, j and to increase the menberahip to twenty men. A Home paper states that the story by Mr Christie Murray, which is being adveitised for publication in " Lloyd's" newspaper, is probably the last that will proceed from the hands of this popular author for some time to come. Mr Murray has been undergoing the hydropathic treatment at Matlock in the hope of recovering from the effects of brain-fag. He can now eat and sleep, which, he explains, is a vast improvement on his former condition; but the doctor is far from satisfied, and Mr Murray has been ordered to take a sea-voyage, and to write nothing more for a period of six months. He will proceed by the next large sailing ship for Australia. From the report submitted to the Grand Lodge of Australia of the United Ancient Order of Druids at its meeting in Melbourne on May 3, we learn that the distress in Australia had to some extent told upon the membership, as it has done with most other friendly societies, and a slight decrease in the number of financial members has been experienced. But against this there was shown the marked increase in the funds of £5990 16s 2d, and that too in the face of £2560 (4s s£d per member) paid for funeral benefit; 49381 18s 8d (I6s 4fd per member) for sick pay ; and £13,155 2a 41 for medical attendance. The total number of members throughout the order was 58,702 and the total funds £304,563 17s 4d. Of this sum £99,945 11s 8d was held by the Grand Lodge of Australia- There is on view in the window of Mr S. Salek, jeweller, the prizes presented to the Ashburton Cricket Club and won by the members thereof. They comprise three bats bearing a silver plate on each with an in scription that one has been won by Mr W. B. Denshire (presented by Mr J Lane) for the highest individual ssore, 74 not out; one by Mr A. W. Line (presented by Mr L. E. Pritchard) for the best fielding; and by Mr A. J. Buchanan (presented by Dr Tweed) for the best averages-all for the season 1892-93. There is also a very nice specimen of jeweller's work in the stand that has been made for the cricket ball presented by Dr Tweed for the best bowling average for season 1892-93, which has been won by Mr D. T. Todd, |with an average of 5-8. The stand is made of two solid silver cricket bats, crossed, supporting the ball, which is a fixture on a silver pipe running down to a turned wooden bottom; fixed on the ball is a silver Bhield bearing a suitable inscription. The whole of the silversmith's work, as well as the plates and inscriptions, is the design and handiwork of Mr Salek.

Aahburton Hlj;ti teQhool. . : +. A meeting of the High School Board took place yesterday afternoon at tin I County Council Chambers. Prasent iThe Hon. W. C.Walker, His Worship the Mayor, Major Steward, the Secretary, and the Headmaster. The minutes of the previous meeting were read and confirmed, and the action of the Chairman in passing certain accounts for payment was approved. THE SCHOLARSHIP. The following report of the Headmaster was read:— Ashburton High School, June 2, 1893. Gemtxemen, — I beg to hand you herewith my report re scholarships. In accordance with advertisement, I set the papers and conducted the exami nation in the Boys' Schoolroom or Thursday and Friday of last week. Twenty-five candidates sat for examina tion, viz., twelve boys and thirteen girls, On the whole the papers were dis appointing ; but a few of the pipers in arithmetic and also a few in geography were excellent. The history and English i language were in no casea of more than average merit. Having to prepare more than one hundred papers for the use of tha candidates, I borrowed a cyclostyle f^om Mr Frizzell. of the Hampstoad school, and by this means greatly facilitated the preparation of the copies of questions. In order to prevent any undue prejudice each candidate drew a r umber, which was that candidate's nu.liber for the examina tion. I kept myself in complete ignorance as to the names of the candidates using the various numbers, t>nd have thus been able to examine every paper without the possibility of any bias or favor. I enclose copies of questions Bet, and maiks gained by the candidates. I am, gentlemen, Yours obediently, J. E. Buchanan, Headmaster. To the Chairman Board of Governors, High School, Ashburton.
