CRICKET.

The match between the Geraldine Cricket Club and the Ashburfeon Cricket Club for the premier cup (the second match for the Ashburton Club) was played at the Domain on Thursday, and an excit ing match resulted in a win for Geraldine with five -wickets down in their second innings. The weather was very good, and the wicket fair. Good all round play was shown by both sides, but the Aahbur ton team was handicapped by losing the services of F. Wilding, who, though an old member of the club, was objected to on the 'ground that he did not reside in the district. The visitors drove up in a drag and four driven by Bob Scott. Lunch was supplied on the ground, and afternoon tea was provided for the players on the ground by Mrs Mainwaring and Mrs Denshire, assisted by Misses Mainwaring, Steward, Fooks, Koberts, and Strouts.

THE ASHBURTON ELECTION.

TO THE EDITOK. I Sm,—The result of the election, so far as Mr Furnell is concerned? urprlsed no one save his zealous Acliburton sup porters. Big attack upo: • myself, who eulogised his personal /fierits, shows a lamentable want of goo**; taste, tact, and control of temper. \^hy he made the attack passes Jiy understanding, unless it was thatjlis^&i Ene Sl'st I told his friends - andj^itfer persons he had no chance of My visit to Ashburton con vinced me that if Mr Wason withdrew, Mr John "MoLachlan would win by five hundred votes, Thia I told Mr Purneli's friendp, but I did net ask them to try to get him to retire. Tha matter was left to their discretion, and -they decided to run for a place they could not win. Their ZBal for the individual exceeded their desire to be successful. My anticipa tions, they must allow, were more than fulfilled. Mr Purnell polled ahoufc one half the votes polled by Mr Wason. It seems he was lowest, on the po)l with only 542 votes out of 3441. It is to be hoped this election will teach us the lesson that those whose political views are akin should cordially work togethei, and look rather to the success of that cause than to fur thering the ambition or interests of any individual, however worthy. Mr Pur neli's last speech, sneering at people who shook hands with their fellow citizens and greeted them pleasantly when they met, is not calculated to procure for him the good-will of those derided by him or to improve his prospects oi being elected should he offer himself again. Familiarity may breed contempt, but stand-offishness or coldness is often taken for snobbish ness, and that is not the kind of manners relished in a democratic: community, or likely to assist a man needing and anxious for popular support. —I am, etc., John Holmes. Methven.

OUTSIDE COMMENTS.

Commenting on the general elections in New Zealand, the "Daily Tele graph " says they have resulted in the solution of two points. They have shown that the women exercised the franchise with intelligence and en thusiasm, and unmistakeably expressed the decided approval of the whole j colony of the course followed by the Government in the past and the policy outlined for the future. With such a following Mr Seddon should occupy an impregnable position, and how far he will use his chances, and avail himself wisely of them, will be a matter of profound interest to the whole of Aus tralia.

THE CHILD MURDER CASE.

Prisoner, turning to the gallery, where Thompson was sitting, said— " God help your sins, Ted, and God help my mother and my baby."

Declaration of the Poll.

The official declaration of the poll for the Ashburton seat took place at noon to-day and consisted in the nailing up on the Courthouse wall a document announcing the number of vote 3 polled by each candidate, and the return of Mr McLichlan. The figures were — Messrs McLachlan, 1117; , Wason, 1091; Waby, 714; Purnell, 544. * This gives Mr McLachlan a majority of 26. No speeches were made, some chaff was exchanged, and a laugh was caused by a lapsus on the part of the clerk who trans cribed the document from Mr Ward's M.S. The transcriber returned Mr McLachlan as member for the electorate of the "City of Christchurch" instead of the electorate of Ashburton. Ths error was soon corrected, i however, by the Returning Officer.

The Side of Bush Life.

Every spring there arises a versifior who sings in tuneful jingles the beauties of the bush, and at the time nearly everybody agrees with him. For in early Ssptember the bush is very, very beautiful. There is the wonderful honey scent of the black wood and sensuous smell of the musk tree, arid to all men who are not blind there ars beauties in the s^ar-shaped flowers of the supple-jack, and the grace ful curve of the fern frond, and iti the heath bell, red and whice, which grows best when the land is hungriest. It looks very weli then, does the country, turf underfoot, and scent in the bush on your flank, and aloft the cloudless blue, But like everything else ife has its faults. A few months hence and we will see the bush in the arid summer —the turf of the spring is the du*t of the summer, and the heat shimmers and trembles whenever it strikes a white stone. There ia no water in the land, and the face of the sun-bakad country is horrible, and everything but the sun is dead—sound, air, motion. And with all its drawbacks there is a miahty charm in the bush, a chirm which the most luxurious city can never possess. Despite the bad food of the bush, the food which invites dyspepsia and all its kindred ills—the loneliness, the miserable wage, there are men who have stood by their beloved buvh for a decade or so, and who are still ready to stand by it through good or evil repute. The bushman has few luxuries, and wants r.o more. Bufc he insists that Warner's Safe Cure is a3 greafc a necessity to him as hi 3 blanket and billy—and that the euro ia the one corrective of the bush dyspeptic. Mr C, Mulholland, of Charters Towers (Qid.), writes: — 11 Charters Towers, Queensland, Dec. 2, 1892. —Warner's Safe Cure is a boon to men like myself who spend their lives in the bush. I have known it to cure cases of liver complaint and bush fever. I suffered for ten years with diseased liver and kidneys. On two occasions I was under the care of a dooter, I have spent much money on doctors fees and medicine, only to find myself very little, if any, better for it. My constant pains had made life miserab'e, and I even longed for death at times. Thanks to Warner's Saf* Cure and Safe Pills I am now able to do a day's work with any man. For since taking the Safe Cure nearly two years ago I have enjoyed the very besfc of health. My mates, to whom I have recommended Safe Cure, all speak well of it, and say there is no medicine that can come up to \t. 1 O. Mulholland.
