the tax this year. Under the heading District Magis trates and Wardens' Courts some discussion took place as to the ill sufficiency of the salary paid to District Judge Kettle, of Wanganui. The Premier said that this matter had not been lost sight of by the Cabinet. Two offers to better his position had been made to Judge Kettlt, but he had refused them. The total votes for the Colonial Treasurer's Department £26,722, Justice Department £122,574, and Postal and Telegraph Department £312,503, passed without alteration. During a short discussion on the latter department Dr Newman asked ■whether any steps had been taken to establish a mail service with Canada. Mr Ward said that the Government had offered a subsidy of £10,000 if steamers would call at New Zealand, but so far nothing definite has re sulted. In reply to another question Mr Ward said that the San Francisco mail service would be continued as at present. In the Legislative Department vote, the item Sergeant-at-arms (4 months) was reduced by £16 on the Premier's motion. The whole vote for this department, amounting to £16,028, was agreed to with this alteration. Customs and Marine Department,: £64,845, passed without alteration. On the Lands and Survey De-J partment estimates, m reply to Mr Pirani, Mr Mackenzie said that the Government had no intention at present to provide for elective land boards. The whole vote amounting to £133,091 was agreed to without amendment. The Defence Department estimates, which were the' next considered, pro voked much discussion. On the item, *700, salary of the Commandant, the Premier said m reply to a question that there was no Commandant at present, but negotia tions were pending which he hoped would be satisfactorily arranged. The item of £950 for Commandant, travelling expenses, etc., was retained on a division by 33 to 18. On the item, permanent militia and volunteers, £50,629, Mr Hogg moved to reduce the vote by £3000. The Premier objected t© the reduc tion, as the defence estimates were actually reduced this year by £3000 m spite of the fact that the number of volunteers was increasing. After considerable discussion the motion was lost by 37 to 11, aud the whole vote passed without alteration. On the Police Department vote Dr Newman said that it would be very advantageous if the police were moved round more than they were at present. The Premier said that he quite ap proved of the removal of constables to 1 other districts from time to time, but the question of cost would have to be considered, and he would look into the natter. The whole vote of £98,138 passed without alteration. j Progress was then reported and the House rose at 1.20 a.m.

An Impudent Impostor.

At the Police Court to-d'y —before Messrs Alfred HarHson and Robert Alcorn, Justices of the Peace—Duncan Frasec was charged with having obtained by false pretences from Mr John Henry, the sum of 16; m cash, and board four shillings. Mr John Henry gave evidence that accused came to him on Saturday and asked him to pat tip bis dogs, as he was driving sheep, which were over at Tinwald. Accuied afterwards borrowed 10a, saying that he had money to come to him from Mr Thomas, and would then pay it back, fle also borrowed smaller sums, stating that he had seen Mr Thomas, but that gentleman had been too busy to attend to him. At night he wanted | to borrow £1, but witness refused, and made enquiries, which proved contradictory to accused's statements. Witness then locked up accused's dogs, but next morning they j were gone. Accused, who elected to make a statement on oath, flatly contradicted the whole of Mr Henry's evidence, and, though admitting having borrowed the 10s, said that he had agreed to repay it on Monday week, and had not referred to Mr Thomas m any way. When asked by the Sergeant if he had not called at the Star of the South Hotel on his way up and had a drink which was to be paid for on his way back, he seated that he had not been m that hotel for about eighteen months, and with regard to the Sergeant's enquiry as to whether he would admit having been previously con victed for vagrancy—receiving m one in stance two months and m another six months—he declined to reply, saying that it had nothing to do with the present charge. The Bench refused to balieve accused's version and sentenced him to two months' imprisonment with hard labor.

Ashburton Trotting Club

The annual meeting of the Ashburton Trotting Club was held at Mr Kelly's hotel last evening There was a good attendance, ■ and Mr J. 0. Duncan occupied the chair. I NEW MEMBERS. Twenty new members were elected. BALANCE SHEET. The treasurer laid the balance sheet be fore th< meeting. It showed the receipts* for the year to have been £379 7s, and the expenditure £376 12s 6i. The principal item of expenditure was £235 Is 9i for stakes, against £152 5s received for nomina tions and acceptances, £95 13s 9d totalisator receipts, gates aod paddock £33 143 6d, and £15 17s 6i for booths. The treasurer stated, Jor the benefit of new members, that the Club had at present liabilities to the extent of £11 12s 3d, an amount owing as a ten per cent temporary deduction from stakes, against which there was £2 15s 6d m hand, and outstanding assets to the amount of £iO. The chairman, m moving the adoption of the balance sheet, stated that three meet ings had been held, at which, owing to bad weather, losses were sustained; but as an instance of what a good district Ashburton was for trotting, he had only to mention that the one meeting held under favorable circumstances had more than recouped the loss of three. It was scarcely likely that m the future three bad seasons m succession would happen, and the Olub had every reason to expect a prosperous future. The district was a good one, as the number of trotting horses m it was legion. The motion was carried unanimously. ELECTION OF OFFICERS. The election of officers then took place and resulted as follows :—Patron—Mr G., A. McLean Buckley j President- Mr Donald McLean j vice-presidents—Messrs Daniel McKeadry, F.

A. and P. Association.

A committee meeting of the Ashburton A, and P Association was held m the Arcade rooms yesterday. There wa« a good attendance, and Mr W. M. Lybtel« ton, President, occupied the chair. PROGRAMME FOJ. THE SHOW. The revising Committee recommended the adoption of last year's programme with certain alterations and additions. These were considered at great length, and various amendments wera made. The committee suggested that; a dog trial should be held about the time of the ram and ewe fair, and that it would be better to have more particulars wilh re gard to a milking machine before placing a prize for that purpose on the pro , gramme Mr Reid moved that the secretary be instructed to receive any private prizes to be deveted to that purpose. This was carried. Mr Digby thought that m classes where there were numerous entries a third prize ' should be given as at Ohristchursh shows, A motion to this effect was carried. JUDGES. Mr Thomas considered that the time was too early for the appointment of the judges. There was no necessity for ap pointing them several months before the show. Mr Upton pointed out that there had of ben baen a difficulty with the judges at the last moment). Mr Friedlander wished to know what the meeting was called for. He under- Btood it was to elect judges. Mr Thomas moved that three judges be appointed. Mr P. Williams moved an amendment that only two be appointed. The amendment was not carried. Mr Cookson moved that only one judge be appointed. Mr M. Friedlander favored this. He considered that the time was coming when a single judge would officiate for the colony. Exhibitors wovld then have a standard to breed up to. Mr Cookson's motion was carried. The following judges were appointed: —Sheep—Merinos—Mr Thomas Phillips ; Leicesters—Mr Frederick Wright j Lin colns—Mr H. Overton ; Down Breeds— Mr John Deans ; Half breds and Inbreda —Mr Orbell; Fat Sheep Mr Macbeth. Cattle—Shorthorn—Mr James Mcllraith ; Ayrshires—Mr G. R. Brodie ; Jerseys— MrH. B.

UNLIKE the mangold, this crop will not stand much, forcing. When overr fed, the roots are spongy and don't keep well. They have also a tendency to dry rot. This is particularly the case when forced to a great degree. Excessive forcing increases the bulk, but the increase is entirely m water, so that the value of the turnip crop is not increased, but lessened. — Gouldtng. JUST enough Nitrogen should be given to give the Turnip a quick re start through the " fly;" and for this purpose I can recommend my Bone. Bust.
