The report of the Privileges Committee, on the question of the control of the officers of the Council was adopted. THE RAILWAYS BILL. Sir Patrick Buckley, in moving the second reading of the Government Rail ways Act Amendment Bill, said that it was in no party spirit that the Govern ment were endeavoring to make the changes proposed in the Bill. Sir George Whitmore opposed the Bill. Mr Reynolds thought that the country ought to give its voice at the General Election before anything was done in the matter. Mr Oliver would support the second reading, with a view of amending the Bill in Committee. Mr Stewart said that as the Bill had been carried in the House of Repre sentatives really by a minority, the Council would not bo justified, on the eve of a General Election and at the end of the session, in sanctioning a radical altera tion in the existing law. He would, however, support the second reading, and move an amendment in Committee re appointing Commissioners for one year. Mr Richardson generally supported the Bill but advised the Council to he exceed ingly careful what it did in the matter. Mr Bowen opposed the Bill. Mr Kelly, Mr McCullogh, and Mr Jenkinson supported it. The debate was interrupted by the dinner adjournment.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.

The House met at 2 30 p.m. GOVERNMENT BUSINESS. The Premier stated, in reply to Mr Rolleston, that the Government would not proceed with the ad j >urned debate on Colonel Fox's report, or with the follow ing Bills :—The Arsenic and Cyanide of Potassium Importation Bill, the Sale of Poisons Bill, the Noxious Weeds Bill, the Auctioneers' Act Amendment Bill, and the Imprisonment for Debt Abolition Bill. He said that there was no reason why, if the House got on with the work, the business should not close by the end of this week. THE HEW ROILS. Mr Rolleston said that he hoped the Premier would not adhere to October 7 as the date for compiling the main rolls. In view of the new developments that had occurred, owin^ to the female franchise, the time proposed by the Government was entirely insufficient for the purpose of putting people on the rolls. The Premier said that the Government had considered that point, and they had decided that after October 7 three weeks would elapse before the rolls were printed, and during that time a supplementary roll could be compiled. TUB END AITKOACHING Sir John Hall said that it was an abso lute tare 3 for the Premier to tell the House that they could dispose of f jrty bills in a week. After considerable discussion it was decided to suspend the Standing Orders, so that new bu-dness could bo taken after 12.30 a.m. A large number of local bill* were put through their final stages. The House rose at .5.30 p.m. The House resumed at 7.30 p.m. CONFERENCE REPORT. The Pramier moved that the report of the Conference with regard to the Alco holic Liquors Sale and Control Bill be greed to. Sir Robert Stout moved as an amend ment that consideration of the question i b postponed for a month. He moved n this direction in order to shovr that he ob jected to the compromise which had been made. The amendment was lost by 3,0 to 91. j The Premier defended the action of himself and the other members who com posed the Conference with the Legislative Council on the Liquor Bill. They hid acted for tha best. The motion was agreed to. LEGISLATIVE OFFICERS. The Premier moved that the report of the Privileges Committee with reference j to the control of legislative officers be agreed to. He spoko strongly in favor of the control of these officers being placed in the hand)? of the Government instead of the Speaker as at present. Sir Robert Stout warmly opposed the preposal, which he regarded as a retro grade step, and moved as an amendment that the control of officers should remain with the Speaknr, as had been the custom since 1862. Sir John Hall pointed out that the Privileges Conim|btee was a p*rty one §ud that the report had been earned only py a majority of one. Mr McKengie said lh_at the point was whether the colony would consent to support a whole army of officers to work four months of the year and go idle for eight months. After a long debate, in which a large number of members took part, Sir R. Stout's amendment was put and lost by S3 to 22.

jet Stud Notice. >P TO TRAVEL in the Ashburton district, n THE THOROUGHBRED STALLION ■° Q- ° R T ON, c (By Thunderbolt—Dyra, by Thormandy Clotilde by Touchstone.) Foi further particulars apply to G. A. M. BUCKLEY, 9'MBS Lagmhor. TO STATS D at Methven and TRAVEI in the Rakaia and Methven Districts, THE PUREBRED AND HrGH-CLASS CLYDESDALE ENTIRE AWAMOA. AWAMOA is by the champion horsi Young Banker (1, NZ. Stud Book) imported from Scotland by the Hon Matthev Holmes. Dam, Lena, imported from Scot land, by Luck's All; g.d. Jessie Brown imported, by Old Times, dam by Lochfergus Champion. AWAMOA is therefore a horse of greai lineage; in fact he is one of the best brec horses in the world On one side he is sprung from Prince of Wales, and on th< other from Lochfergus; and anyone wkc 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 all prizetakers 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 Oatnaru, first 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 at Timaru ; and when seven years old was champion at 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; hence his value as a sire, and breeders should not miss such a chance, as they have not had such a stallion in the district before. Terms—Guarantees, four guineas. Season mares as psr agreement. Groomage fee ss, payable first service. All marea changing hands in any way, first owners will be held liable.

He also used to drive Berlin's lull brother, Mambrino Dudley ; and Mr Woodruff says in. his book on trotting—" If ever there waa a horse which could trot a mile in 2 minutes Mambrino Dudley oould before seeing so much sbud duty. !So it is plain that Ken tacky and General Tracey contain the very besc strains of American trotting blood.
