The Bank Tax.

(per prkss association.)

Wellington, November 11, In banco at the Supreme Court to-day judgment was given in favor of the Bank in the case Commissioner of Taxes v Bank of Australasia. The Bank claimed that, in assessing the tax on, the bank income, the Commissioner should allow a deduction in respect of the interest paid for money received on deposits at interest in London, but the Commissioner re fused, in making his assessment, t® allow any deduction whatever on this account. The question the Court was asked to decide was whether the defendant bank was entitled to claim, as disburse ment in respect of New Zealand business, interest paid in London upon the propor tion of the deposits used in New Zealand in carrying on business, and to deduct the same from the gross Income when estimating gains and profits in respect, ot which the said bank is to be assessed for the purpose of ascertaining its liability to income tax. .

The Christchurch Show.

Christchubch, Novembeer 10. There was magnificent weather for the second day of the Canterbury A. and P. Association's Show, Twenty-four thou sand people were present, and the sum of £957 was taken at the gates. At the luncheon speeches were made by the Hons W. P. Reeves and W. Rolleston, The light horses were judged to-day. In a few classes the competition was not very good, but in others it was keen, and, taken »11 through the section, better than j »t the previous show. Chainshob and Ahua were the only entries in class for thoroughbred stallions, the former receiv ing the first prizu Weight carrying hacks were a splendid class, the harness horses very fair, and the hunters good. Tkere was an excellent show of polo ponies and trotting horses. In the section for crossbred sheep the silver medal given by the Association for the beet peD in the crossored sheep representing the most useful cross, went to a fine pen of five sheep by Hampshire Down ram—half-bred ewes, bred and shown by Max Friedlander, of Ashbur ton. The sheep were well worthy of the the award and reflected credit on tta judgment of the cross-breeding. ' Among local exhibitors, or stock with a local history may be mentioned in the 1 light horse sec ion—blood stock and hackneys—Mereworth, a three-year-old son of Perkin Warbeck 11, f torn a Lothair mare, a neat brown, which showed much of the character of his grandsire. Ho was the only one shewn, but ihe judges considered him of sufficient merit to award him first honours?. In carriage horses a yearling colfc by Camel, shown by Mr IStxingfellow, of Ashburton, beat eleven others in ihe carriage class, General Washington, by Kentucky from Jenny Tracy 11, being second. In polo ponies, Mr W, F. M. Buckley's Lavuiia, Mr G. A. M. Vuckley's Buvjo, and Mi- George Palmer's Woodford were placed 1, 2, 3 in order out of fourteen shown. In boys' ponies there were some fine stamps. In ihe polo tandem teams Banjo and Tommy were attractive, the latter, a &kewbald being especially sd. The following are among the local prize-takers in the official prizs list :- HORSES. BLOOO lIORSKS.

Owing <o a misunderstanding as to the engagement of the tchool, Mr E. G. Wright was advertised to speak at Hinds on Mon day. The school will be used for another purpose on that evening, and Mr Wright speak at Flemington School on Monday and at Tinwald on Tuesday. Mr Maslin speaks at Tinwald on Monday. The Lynch Family of kelliiogers are to appear in the Oddfellows' Hall on Monday and Tuesday next. They are old favorites here, as indeed they are every where, for they are the very best campano logists travelling, and much blame to them if they were not, seeing that, born with an endowment of natural musical talent, they hayc been practising musical bell-ringing aver since they could crawi, and therefore were in a position to almost command suc cess. Certainly they have deserved it. In addition to Lynch Family the company has been strengthened by a contingent, of other entertainers, who bring with them a full repertory of good things new and old. One of the greatest attractions of the Lynch Family's entertainment is ihe glassophone playing—musical glasses played by a "full band," the glasses being tuned to cover a range of se.ve;ai octaves, so that the players are able to give to their audience a class of music such as the soloist glags player would never attempt, and as only an organist could hope to be able to produce irom an instru ment ot a very high class indeed.
