Welsh moved a vote of thanks for th» address, and " that this meeting has no confidence in Mr Waby as a representa tive, and that he was not a fit and proper J person to be a member of the House." ' Seconded by Mr Saundeva. Mr Uxley moved and Mr Dixon seconded an amend ment that a hearty vote of thanks be accorded for the address. The amend ment was carried almost unanimously, and a vote of thanks to the chairman brought the meeting to a close.

MR WASON AT LAURISTON.

On Saturday evening the Laurisfcon S3hool was well filled to hear Mr Wason's views, Mr Dent wa3 voted to the chair. The speaker was listened to for an hour and a half, and after answering a number of questions Mr Johnston moved a vote of thanks to Mr Wason and confidence in him as their representative.

Ou being put to the meeting the motion was carried, A vote of thanka to the chair closed the meeting, after which a number of ladies and gentlemen stayed to found a committee to work in Mr Wason's interest.

MR WASON AT WAKANUI.

On Wednesday evening, Mr Wason addrecsed a large meeting of the Ash burton electors at the Wakanui school, the audience including a number of ladies and Rangitata electors also. Mr James Brown was chairman, and Mr Wason spoke for about one and a half hour on the lines of the Ashburton address, ex plaining fully the great differences in the Government policy Bills as brought down, and as they were when they ultimately left the House. Mr Wason concluded his address by an appeal to the electors not to forget the old liberalism, euch as was fought for in Scotland and America, but to beware of the present so-called Liberal party, whose measures were all on the Bide of compulsion and against the freedom ot the individual. Referring to prohibition he said a gentleman in Ashburton kindly gave him a copy of the " Prohibitionist " of October 21, which " contains a most unfair and unjustifiable attack upon myself. I pass by as be neath contempt the reference "to this gentleman," but it goes on to specify "Mr Wason referred at Ash burton to Rev. Frank Isitt's scurrilous | assertion that no publican could mska his business pay if he ran his house on the square." All that in inverted commas to show that they were the exact worda I used. The "Prohibitionist" then goes on to assume that I knowingly and wilfully attributed to Mr Isitt a state ment which was never made. Now, will you believe it, that although both the "Press" Company and the /shburton " Mail" had shorthand writers at my meeting j that although Mr Saunders pre pared a very careful resume of my speech ; in neither the "Lybtelton Times," the *• Mail" nor the " Press " do the words appear, and I challenge the reporter of the " Prohibitionist" to produce his shorthand notes and compare them with the fhorthand writers of the " Press " and " Mail." Mr Isitt is indeed an ungenerous opponent. To point my argument that if people wished a Btimu lani'lihey would have it, I read an extract -from the "Prohibitionist" —"Substitute for brandy"—and proved that it was an infinitely worse and more intoxicating drink than brandy itself. I met Me Isitt shortly afterwards, and ha told ma that in the very next number of the "Prohi bitionist " an apology, retractation, or ex pression of regret appeared, I am not Bure of the words he used, and I do not want to be again accused of wilfully mis quoting anyone, but that certainly was the expression he left on my miad, but as the question has been raised, I shall be very much obliged if any elpctor reading the " Prohibitionist " will kindly send me a copy of the number of the paper in which Mr Isitt's apology, retractation, or expres sion of regret appeared. God forbid I should sneer at any one —of all forms of attacks the most contemptible and un worthy. Least of all would I sneer at a body of men who, however, mistaken from my point of view, are striving to effect re form. Ido not suppqsq there is one of us here tonight who has not had some relative, friend, or acquaintance who has gone under in the battle of life. Public houses are not the cause of all the crime and destitution ; immorality and and drink do not go hand and hand. Gambling, speculation, the robbery of the fatherless, lying, evil speaking, arid slandering are not engendered in public houses." In reply to questions, Mr Wason was of opinion the number of hotels should bq on the basis of population, with com pensation for those closed up. Bellamy's should not be a tax on the public funds ; if the Government had paid a deficiency of £600 there, be believed it of them— they were capable of anything of the sort. Was in favor of ministers going out of office on a want of confidence vote, and did not agree that members of parlia ment should be elected on a majority of all votes at an election. A hearty vote of thanks was unani mously passed for the address, on the motion of Mr F. Cass, seconded by Mr J, Choak and the usual compliment to the chair concluded the meeting, which was a very orderly and attentive one.

CYCLING.

The ten mile road race of the Ariel Bicycle Club was run yesterday, and, favored with weather which, though dull, was suitable for racing, was a decided success. The public evidently take great Interest in these road races, as over three hundred persons were present to witness the finish of the race, and the police are to be congratulated on the manner in which they kept the course clear for the competitors' start and dash home. The handicappers must have felt satisfied at witnessing the close finish of the race, especially as the handicapping of some of those " dark warriors " from Longbeash with no previous (known) performances was no easy task. Following U the re sult of the race :—T, Hawkins, llmin, 1; R. Couch, 9min, 2 ; J. Burns, 9imin, 3; T. Clarksonscr, E. March 9min, E, Capron 12/nin, C. Henry 9|min, James Wilson 6min, John Wilson 6min, Ford 9mm, F. Taylor 3min, A. Anderson 7|min also started. Time—3smin 13|sec. Hawkins soon passed the limit man, and riding well right through finished a short , distance in" front of Couch, V/ith Burns c|ose up third. Unfortunately for Clark son, on the word "Go" being given, evidently Jover anxioua to be after his men, he shoved too hard on the pedals, and broke hh machine. He immediately mounted another, but the fact of having thus to ride £ machine geared to 60 irqhes instead pf his own, which was g eared to Q8 inches, was in itself sufficient fcp preclude any chance he miy have had of winning. X, March, who was beaten on the tape by Burns for third place, came to grief in a water race. ■■ ' ■ • I

MELBOURNE NOTES.

PER PUKSS ASSOCIATION. Meiboukne, November 1. Badgeree was scratched for the Derby fco-day. At Caulfield this morning Tim Swiveller covered two miles in excellent style in 3 minutes 4 3-sth seconds. Aspendale Park Haces took place to-day. Tha principal event Aspendale Park Handicap, l£ mile, resulted as follows :•— Pulvil, Bat 51b, 1; Tridentato, Bit 71b, 2 j Ilobunte, 7at 3. Six others ran. ' Pulvil won in a common canter by two I lengths. Time —- 2mins 14secs. The I Beach Handicap of five furlongs also fell to Payten'a stable by aid of Moorongi. who won all the way from seven others. Time —lmin s|secs. Melboukne, November 2. 1 here was a nasty drizzle at 4 o'clock this morning, making matters extremely disagreeable on the training tracks. A large number of owners were present, in cluding John Crozier, of Adelaide. Patron and Portsea traversed the mile and a half in 2min44§secs, the Derby colfc finishing well. Trenchant ran a mile and a quarter in 2nain 15j.«cs, displaying great brilli ancy, Sulanum did a mile and a half in 2min 47£ sec, and Light Artillery took half a second longer, but neither was ridden out. Loyalty should have accom panied Yakeil in. a two mile gallop according to. arrangement, but O'Brien failed to put in an appearanse. Vakeil negotiated the two miles wide out on the sand track in 3min 42sej without app' rant effort. This was a very fine perform ince, and so was Realm's in 3min 44secs. Quality went eleven furlongs round the sand track in 2min 28|secs, which is the season's record.

LATEST BETTING.

Last night, after 1000 to 90 had been taiten about Camoola for the cup, 1300 to 130 was accepted. 1500 was laid against Tim Swiveller at 100 to 11, and then 900 to 100 in one pop. All the money in the market between £6000 and £7000 was taken about Sainfoin at 100 to 6, and 100 to 7 is now the beat offer. The following wagers were also accepted— 1500 to 90 Vakeel, 1500 to 10 Portsea, 1500 to 87 Oxide, 1000 to 70 Loyalty.

RICCARTON TRAINING NOTES.

Christchetkch, November 1. Clanranald went wrong after his work this morning, and ia a very unlikely starter for the Cup. 100 to 2 against him is on offer to-night without takers. Beadonwell has been well backed at 100 ito 12. November 2. At Riccarton thia morning Tha Work man beat Pegasus over the Cup distance, which no doubt accounts for the latter's ■withdrawal. Response covered two miles, going in a splendid style, but she was not stretched out. Prime Warden and Lady Zetland covered a mile and a half, but going well, good time being registered. Au Revoir ran six furlongs under 1.20, and Vogengang pulled over Companion in s gallop over the sanHfl&ftlistance. Melu sina, Inez, Busybody, Empire, Justice, and Bell Bird did useful pace work. Clanranald, after cooling down from his gallop yesteiday morning, was found to be lame, and the horse was not on the track this morning. He is reported to have thrown off a lot of his lameness, which was the result of his striking him self. The stoppage in his work lfcay, however, prevent his starting at the meeting. The course proper being open for two year olds, a lot cf work was per formed. Lady Lear was better than Pompom over the four turlongs, while there was little to choose between Philson and King Wai. Neroli and the Dum crambo colt finished together in their half m le spin, and over that distance Nixie seemed better than Golden Fleece, Watch ward and Cleopatra. Pegasus is scratched for the New Zea land Cup. _

ASHBURTON NOTES.

The training track is now in good order and a large number of horses are daily being worked in view of the C.J.O. Spring Meeting. This morning the Derby candi date, Erringfcon, was sent a good striding gallop once round, his stable companion, Warrington, doing a similar distance faster. Frivolity and Jess jumped oft'at the mile post, and were taken along at top speed, the mare holding her own to the turn into the straight when Frivolity drew clear and Coinage joined in. The former finished about a length in front of Jess, who was all out, Saracen, Wheed ler, and others were given steady canter ing.

PER PRESS ASSOCIATION. (Received November 2, 10 40 a.m.) N.S. WALES POLITICS, Sydney, November 2. The N.S.W. revenue for the last month shows an increase of £60,000 as compared with the corresponding period of last year. Speaking in the financial debate Mr Joseph Cook, leader of the new labor party in the House, said the proper plan for dealing with the deficit was to ask a fair contribution from the big interests and the real wealth of the country. He advocated mining on private property, the introduction of a Bill to tax land values, and the en couragement of labor settlement. In the Legislative Assembly, Sir George Dibbs stated that the colony was not committed to any liability in connec tion with the French cable beyond Noumea, and no further liability would be incurred without the sanction of Parliament.

At the Lyttelton R.M. Court yesterday, Edwin Robert Curtis, a boy employed aa messenger by the Union Steamship Company was charged with having uncustomed goods in his possession, namely a travelling bag containing certain fancy goods. Ths Col lector of Customs sued for three t ".,es the value of the goods, viz. £38. Defendant pleaded guilty to having the goods in his possession, but denied any intention of fraud. It appeared that accused came ashore from the Wakatipu with a package containing bicycle gear and trophies won by New Zealand riders at the cycling cham pionship meeting in Australia. The Bench said they had no alternative but to convict accused on a charge of having goods in his possession. In reply to the Bench, the collector said the winners of trophies nould apply to the Commissioner of Customs to return the goods, which, in the ordinary course, in the event of a conviction, would be forfeited. The Bench inflicted a fine of £36, and reduced the amount to £9 under section 250 of the Act.
