tion without a single hitch, and because I have followed the Council's own instruc tions I have been publicly abused by the chairman of the Ashburton County Coun cil. This, however, I take as a very high public compliment from that member of this Council. I may as well give a few corrections. It is stated that my account was £180 with more to follow. My account was £175 odd with nothing more to follow: That the cost in Ashburton was £5 9s, and in Bangitata £8 per booth. The figures roughly are—Ashburton £5 17s ; Bangitata, with much longer distances to travel, £7 12s per booth. Besides, if &11 my accounts were not in, as stated, how did the chairman arrive at the cost per booth ? Attention is also drawn to the fact that the expenses of the Ashburton Returning Officer amount to roughly £21, and mine to £35 odd. My account for conducting the election is exactly £28; and £21 for fourteen booths in Ashburton is £1 10s per boatb, whereas £28 for twenty-three booths in Rangitata is only £1 4s 4d per booth, or nearly six shillings per booth leas in Rangitata than in Ash burton A Councillor named Harper stated that the personal expenses had ranged from 7s 6d to £1 5s per day, I never allowed more than 7s 6d per day for personal expenses. This Councillor also stated that this electorate only em braced two road boards and part of « third ! It embraces ten road boards and two town boards, and the fifty people who conducted the election were em ployed by the express orders of the Coun cil, and all this from the name apostle of public economy who charges me 7s 6d for the use of a small road board office for one day as a polling booth. Need I follow the subject further ?—I am, etc., John McKeagujg, Returning Officer.

FOOTBALL.

CBRIST'S COLLEGE! V ASHBURTON SECOND.

The football match between Christ's College first fifteen and the A..F.0. second fifteen was played In the Domain yesterday afternoon and resulted in a win for the local men by 33 points to nil. The weather was perfect, and tnere was a large number of spectators, expecting after the College's win of last year to see another well contested game; bat the re sult was disappointing in this respect as the visitors were completely overmatched throughout. A try and goal were regis tered for Ashburton within five minutes of the kick off. A redeeming feature, however, for the onlookers was the great improvement in the playing of the Ash" burton team. Their backs were equal to all that was required of them, but it was the more systematic packing of their heavy forwards in the scrimmages which, prevented the College backs trom scoring In the open game, in which their good passing would have been so advantageous, So noticeable was this that in some cases the local forwards gained quite a dozen yards with the ball still in the scrimmages. The passing also of the forwards was better than usual. As regards the College play, on the defensive the whole of the time they had no opportunity for displaying the finer points of the game, for which they were so conspicuous last year. For Ashburton, the backs had little to do—though Morgan and Pauling made some very good runs—and the for* wards were a very even lot. Tries were secured by Barns 1, Pauling 3, Baker 2 Hunter 1, JEL Stewart 1. • Although many of these tries meant kicking from difficult angles, with one exception they were converted in fine style by Pauling. Messrs Cow and Qresson were touchllne umpires and Mr Marjoribanks was sn efficient referee, After the match the visitors were entertained to dinner at Mr Henry's hotel, and afterwards de parted by the express for Chrlstchuroh, after a hearty send off by their victorious opponents.

The Llcensing Act.

Before the Stipendiary Magistrate and a Justice of the Peace this morning, Johii Henry, landlord of the Commercial Hotel, was charged with having allowed persona to play billiards on his licensed premises during prohibited hours—to wit 11.20 on the race night—contrary to the Act Mr Crisp appeared for defendant. Sergeant Moller stated that though Mr Henry only held an eleven o'clock license, them was no penalty against its breach until fche Alcoholic Liquors Sales Control Act came into force. The Sergeant de posed that on April 26 he entered the hotel from the back, and found several persons playing billiards afc twenty minutes past eleven. The billiard room and private bar were lit up. Asked the billiard maker who was in charge, and he did not give any distinct answer. Went into the bar and saw Mr Henry's sod, who told him he had better clear the house oat. Then went into the front bar and ; saw Mr Henry, who appeared to be! fetting ready to leave. Spoke to Mr [enry about it and he said he had not bean to the back for some time. Gross examined by Mr Crisp—Mr Henry's houes was one well conducted. There might have been 100 persons in the billard room There were over 50. They included a "lot of rough charasters, npielers and thieves- Thought Mr Henry cook have cleared the house. The Sergeant said he did not wish to press for a penalty. He wished people to understand that now the Act was in force, the houses would have to b« cleared afc the appointed time, Mr Henry had been 0% great service to the police at times in attempting to suppress thieving. Constables Drury and Ede corroborated the Sergeant's evidence, and stated that the billiard marker made no attempt to ] stop the game. Mr Crisp, fox the defendant, stated that being race night the house was crowded, many having nowhere to go, as all avail able lodging accommodation was utilised, and these would not clear nut. ; Itoberfc Clark said ha was billiard marker and lessee of Mr Henry's billiard room. At eleven o'ciosk, with Mr Henry's son, he tried to get the people out but could not get them all out. Bo games started after eleven o'clock. Mr Henry told him [ to close punctually at eleven. Got the room cleared ten minutes after the Ser geant came. Intended to send for the police, had not some one else done so. By the Sergeant—Was not drunk on that night. Considered over 100 were turned out before the Sergeant came. Mr Henry called, said he had told his billiard marker to close sharp at eleven> as there were a lot of bad characters about, Had never known so many people in the hotel before. Had asked the Sergeant when he came to him at 11.20 to assist him to clear the room. Oardy Henry, son of the licensee, de posed that he assisted the billiard marker, before eleven o'clock, to clear the room. Before the Sergeant came, told the billiard marker to clear the room. The billiard marker replied that players ware finishing thelv game. Mr Crisp pointed out that if anyone ward liable it w»s the billiard marker, who was not a servant but a lessee. The Magistrate pointed out that if a conviction were recorded under the Act, it was to ba endorsed on the license and therefore was against the licensee. The Magistrate reserved judgment. Subsequently Mr Crisp stated that if His Worship considered the present arrangement existing between Mr Henry and the billiard marker an unsatisfactory one, the consent of both parties had been gained, and it would be terminated.
