with having come to a decision without having any knowledge of the other siae. As to the discretionary power, as of a judge, they were elected not like a judge to carry out certain principles, but came into office pledged to fulfil certain promises. In fact he had letters in his possession written by most of the mem bers before the election, pledging them selves to reduce the licenses to the full extent allowed by law. The temperance people who had elected his Committee expected that wherever they could reduce they would do so. Besides, it was pretty well understood that in town complaints were frequently made of the amount of drunkenness which existed on rase days. The Club knew of course last November that the election was to be fougbt, and he did not altogether agree with Mr Jones that the temperance party did not expect to get a Committee in. They had worked on in hope, the same as they hoped next time to get prohibit on. As to the question of their not taking office until June »• x.; if so, they had neither power to grant nor to refnae licenses, and so that matter was ended. Then again they had been shown the analogy that exißted between the present case and that of the saleyards. In a certain sense the cases were something similar, and yet they were something different. The saley&rds was a weekly affair, and Tad to be applied for every week, and it was a question of the business of the district The racecourse was a question of amusement, and in many cases gambling. He believed as many persons would go to the saleyards without drink as with it Their business took them there. Whereas it had been stated thac if there were no drink at the racecourse there would not be so large an attendance. It had been Btated that the club would lose £65 through the loss of license, but he would like to point out that afc the l<*at races the publican's booths had only realised £50 and at the meeting previous to that £46, besides which it was reasonable to expect that the prices received for the other refreshment booths would be greater when there were to be no publican's booths. He had a letter from Mr Allan of Acton, a member of 'he committee, in answer to a telegram he had sent; asking him to be present or state his wish in the | matter. The letter waa as follows •-— j Rev J. Cooker. Dear sir,—Your telegram ! fiarprieed me yesterday. I thought after our meeting last Saturday, it would be altogether unnecessary for the temper ance committee to meet the racing men. As I said in my telegram this morning, I am altogether opposed to granting a license for the racecourse or any sports—in fact, anything except the sale yards. We were returned by the tem perance party to do certain things. We cannot, I am sorry to say, reduce the public houses, but we have the power to refuse those licenses which make racing worse than it will be when they are done away with, and which spoil any meeting for amusement. If we grant these licenses we will make a laughing stock of ourselves to the whole country, even the publicans will despise us as being utterly without backbone. If a license is granted, do it in open meeting and have a reporter pre sent, and let the outside world know how you voted. Count my vote against.—- Yours truly, W. L. Allan." Mr Friedlander said that Mr Allans letter only confirmed what the other side said about the temperance party. Ib was plain by that letter that some supporters of the temperate party, while on the temperance question, would net listen to reason in any shape or form. They came to a decision without hearing what the other side had to say, and then it was - t( We have done so and so, whether just or unjust it in Immaterial, we will not re consider it." „,., L Mr Cocker -Mr Allan possibly did not i know the full particulars concerning this interview. Mr Friedlander went on to say that he did not wish to flatter the two gentlemen present, but h© respected them all the more for their courage in coming there and allowing the deputation to say what there was to be said. They knew pretty well in coming that ib was a forlorn hope, j yet it showed a good deal of common cense on their part to have come, and he ; thought would do their party a lot of good. Mr Cocker had said they wera elected to casrry out certain pledges. He { felt also coafident that they were elected to carry out those pledges fairly and equitably to all olmbm of the community. They wer« not elected to deal hardship to one side for the benefit of the other. If they aonsidered for one moment, they would see that it would be a hardship to the Racing Club to refuse the license, He was sure they could not come to any other conclusion. Then they would my **We have made a mistake and are quite prepared to grant this license." It was a special case, because there were connected with it special cireotnatances. The meeting was fixed long before the Act came into force. They lad been allowed to expect their enjoyment) of the privileges connected with it. One man could not say ** Yon shall have your games in certain ways; you shall go to bicycle races or football matches." Some liked horaeracing. They could nob get away from the fact that the meeting was faxed long before the Act came into force, and under the circumstances it was only just and right to grant the Racing Club a per mit. If it were a case of principle, they had already sacrificed their principle in the-saleyards case. That was granted besause ifc affected the farming community, then why not grant one in the case of the racing community % Mr Cocker—-If we have done wrong in the one case it is no reason to increase the wrong by granting another. Mr Friedlander—No. Thai was not the principle. If ft were wrong for him to cheat a man of a £1000, it was equally trarag in principle to cheat him of one penny. , , i.t. l. Mr Cocker, xn conclusion, said that knowing the views of those members who Were not present, views expressed strongly to him, he eouli not conscientiously say yes. He felb that he would have liked to meet the deputation in the matter, but on principle it was impossible. Eves were he agreeable it would be wrong for himself and Mr Jones to grant a permit against the expressed decision of the Committee. Mr Friedlander said he felt sure that if the Licensing Committee had considered the question impartially and granted the license ifc would have done the temperance party good, but by their action they had created a good deal of ill -feeling. Mr Cocker—The ill-feeling i» only with those who voted against us. The meeting then closed.

TO-DAY'S TELEGRAMS

(I'EB PBKSS ASSOCIATION, f Suspicious Death. Auckland, April 23. ' At eleven o'clock on Sunday night, a man was found dead at the Maori Hostelry, Mechanics Bay, the face being covered with blood. Half an hour pre vious, Mrs Devalley, the custodian of the building, heard a sound as of vomit-, ing, and called out "you'd better clear out, or I'll get the police," thinking it was some drunken vagrant. She got no answer. On a subseqent inspection of the premises by the custodian and her daughter they found this man dead and informed the police. The man who seemed to be between thirty and forty, was tatooed on the right arm and a paper was found on the body purporting to be a certificate to Thomas Glynn, qualified quartz miner, and signed by Mr < -krke, of Thames. Two thearis exist, one that the man died from the bursting of a blood vessel, the other thac he was possibly the victim of foul play, bat no sounds resembling violence were heard. An inquest will be neld to-day. The Typ». Society. Wellington, April 23. Afc a meeting of the Typographical Society, it was proposed that the Society should leave the Trades Council, on the ground that the subscription was too large, and unaffiiiated unions got the most benefit, without paying anything. Only six mem bers voted for the motion, with was lost by a large majority. Sudden Jlawtli «f » Countable, Constable Cashion died suddenly from heart disease at Maaterton. He had been in the force since 1865.

The Loan and Mercantile

Jjondon, April 21. The examination of the Directors of the New Zealand Loan and Mercantile Agency Company was resumed to-day. Mr Thomas Russell stated that Mr Blder had made an offer t© the London Board of Directors to form a Company with a capital of £100,000 to purchase the New Zealand Loan and Mercantile Company's properties, as he believed they were a sound investment. A telegram from Mr Elder was read, which stated that he had wired withholding his report, knowing that Mr Russell was on the eve of arriving, and that the latter had full powers to act. Judge Williams considered the ex planation was a just one. Mr Russell dwelt at some length on the explanation, and said that he thought, while not prepared to declare Mr Elder's telegram withholding the report was wrong, it was a wrong step to take. Mr Russell referred to the success of the New Zealand Land Association in handling the business of the New Zealand Loan and Mercantile Company, which he said had increased since the suspension of the Company.

FOOTBALL.

ASHBURTON SECOND v DUNSANDEL FIRST.

I)n Saturday last a Second Fifteen of the Ashburton Football Club, containing three first, men, and four or five new members of the club, journeyed by drag, in charge of Mr J. Newman, to Dunsar.del, co play the local fifteen. Some delay iv starting the game occurred, owing to Cameron, the Dunsandel skipper refusing, to allow the visitors to play a Rakaia man, whom they had brought to make a very weak fifteen complete, at least in numbers. However, this difficulty being got over, a start was made, and from the first, the Dunsandel players asserted themselves, and had much the best of the game. Several of the Ashburton forwards were new to the mysteries of the Rugby scrum, j or had not played for some seasons so their opponents had much the best of the game forward. The Dunsandel backs played a really good passing game, which showed the more to advantage against their weak opponents. Towards the end I of the second spell, however, the visitors played up gamely, and time after time, put the local team's defence to the severest test, Dansandel scored three tries (one converted) and a penalty goal, JTairbairn, Wright, Deveraux, Oameron ! and Irvine doing the bulk of the work. j Ashburton scored one try, Todd getting I over near the touch line. The game I ended with the scores—Dunsandel four [teen, Ashburton three. 4s all the Ashburton men played a hard game it would be unfair to particularise, but wane of knowledge of scrim packing, as well as want of practice, told their tale. A Stewart made desperate efforts to get away, but was too well watched to have a j chance. Mr Guiney, of Brookside, acted as referee, and Messrs Tipler and Larra man as touch line judges. After the match the visitors adjourned to the Library, where they were served with re freshments by some lady friends of the Dunsandel Football Club. After ex ! changing the customary cheers, a start was made for home, which was reached abouc midnight.

EARTHQUAKES.

Athens, April 21. __ Severe earthquakes have been felt in ! various parts of Greece, and much damage has been done at Volo, Larissa, Thebes, Allastra, and Chalcis. April 22. The earthquake resulted in serious loss of life, and many villages were completely destroyed. Many of the villagers are camping in fields, and a warship has been despatched to Al lastra to relieve the distress.

Lagmhor Harriers.

The hunfcing season at Ashburton I opened on Saturday, when the firsb meet of the Harriers took place at Lagmhor, under the most pleasing auspices. The weather was delightfully fine and Mr and Mrs Buckley entertained a large number of guests on the lawn, amongst those present being many ladies and gentlemen from Ashburton, the Forks, Anama, Hackthorne, and other parts of the district. After luncheon the welcome sound of the horn wa* once more heard, and when Mr Claridge rode up on WiIHM-Gan, with eight couple of hounds trotting at his heels, it was at once seen that they had fared uncommonly well in their new home, a little above the Tin wald racecourse. Every hound was look ing in the very pink of condition, and eager to aflord the followers and specta torsg ood sport. A move was made across the river, and after going some little distance down the hounds threw off in one of Mr Isaac Sargent's paddocks. It was sometime, however, before they gave tongue, as hares were scarce. However, during the afternoon, several enjoyable runs were hsd, and though the first fence thinned off the field to less than a dozen, those who did follow had some nice country to cross, and enjoyed good sport. The day ended without a kill, though a stroDg hare was run almost to a standstill before she made good her escape in one of Mr Sargent's home paddocks. At four o'clock it waa decided to move towards home, but the hunting men and spectators were noc allowed to pass through Mr Sargent's farmyard without a halt to par take of the kindly and genuine hospitality 0! the Sargent hotue*

Wesleyan Church.

The harvest thanksgiving ervices in connection with the Wesleyan Church were held on Sunday Ihe church was very tastefully decorated with fruit, vege tables, and flowers, including almost all seasonable products of the earth. The man ner in whichthe whole were arranged in the church reflected credit on those who had assisted and caused the building to pre sent so pretty an appearance. The musi cal portion of the services is always a feature with the Ashburton Wesleyans, and on Sunday, with a full choir and the assistance of a large orchestra, was addi tionally so. The services were conducted in Hie morning by the Re? 0. Abernethy, and in the evening by the Rev T. G. Brooke. The Rev 0, Abernethy took his text from the 67th Psalm, v. 9 and 10. He laid stress on the fact that after man had done all that he could towards ensuring a good harvest, all his trouble would be of no avail without the blessing of God who " visiteat the earth and watersst it." It might nave appeared this season that there had been too much rain, but, for all we knew, the farmers would probably in sea sons to come reap from their land the benefit of the present abundance of mois ture. The rev. gentleman alao raised the question as to whether it would not be better for us, instead of supplying the starving millions of other lands with wheat at i price which did not pay us, to induce that population to come here and grow it themselves. He was not sure that the advent of reapers and binders and other machinery had been an unmixed blessing, instancing the labor market. The Rev T. G. Brooke preached in the evening, taking as his text the third verse of the ninth chapter of Itaii»h. At both services there were good congregations. A reception to formally welcome the Rev Mr Brooke will be held on Tuesday, and as great preparations are being made for a monster gathering the affair is likely to be a success.
