CHERTSEY.

Own Correspondent, A special meeting of the School Ooramittee was held on Saturday evening last. There were present—Messrs W. Oakley (Chair), Childs, Copland, Jackson, Downie, Scarlett, and Stewart. The Committee appointed to look after the building of the fence reported that a mistake had been made in the length of the fence, and they recommended that the tenderer be paid for the extra piece at the same rate as the other; also that they had left the tree felling and digging. Their action was approved of. It was resolved to call for tenders for the purchase of trees felled. Correspondence was read from Messrs Wetston and Moore, soliciting the Committee's Bupport'for the vacant seat on the Board of Education. The appearance of the schools grounds and buildings has been much improved lately by the felling of some trees and the building of a new fence. On Arbor Day the Committee intend planting a new hedge and some trees, bo that the grounds will look quiet smart. Sometime ago the railway authorities saw fit to remove the telegraphist, who has always been considered a necessary adjunct at the railway station here, so that now the station is worked by one map. They may have been justified in making this change on the score of economy, but it has put the public to several small inconvenience?. The Chertsey Hotel has changed hands lately, Mr J. W. Matthews being succeeded by Mr F. Campbell, of Christchurch. There has been nothing done here in the way of entertainments worth speaking about since (he lasc dance, of which I wrote you, except perhaps a Punch and Judy show ex hibited by Downes, which attracted a good gathering, mostly of youngsters. I under stand the bachelors ftre getting up a dance in return for the one the ladies gave a little time ago. Some time ago a petition praying the Bailway Commissioners to allowtheexpressto ■top here was circulated and numerously signed. It was t.hen put into the hands of our member Mr John McLachlan with the result that the midday express going south will stop to pick up passengers, and the evening express going north will stop to set down passengers. This change will be very much appreciated here especially on market days.

THE WEATHER.

Weliingtow, July 20, A thunderstorm this afternoon only lasted for half an hour, buc was one of the moat severe experienced here for many years. Tho lightning was very vivid, and for ten minutes or so rain came down in sheets, the streets present ing somewhat of the appearance of lakes. By two o'clock the worst of it was over, though a flash with light showers was experienced during the afternoon. The lightning disarranged the electric lighting of premises, in some instances the lights being extinguished altogether, but matters were soon put right. In the telephone exchange the peal of (thunder came like a report of heavy cannonade and the Shutters of the majority of annunicators fell. The cadettes had a severe fright, but fortunately no one was injured, though many instances of machines being injured are reported. Never has there been such an atmospheric disturbance in the experience of the local telephone exchange The woather is now clearing. Captain Edwin reports that the atmo spheric conditions now prevalent over a very wide area are most unusual. An exceptionally low depression from the west has been approaching this country since the 15th inst. It is at its lowest pressure, being now near and probably south of Stewart Island. The barometer reading at the Bluff at 9 a.m. to-day, 28.68, is the lowest obberved there since April 1891. Very unusual conditions are also prevalent between here and Sydney, and when the barometer this morning registered 29.9 there was a difference of »n inch and two-tenths from the Bluff. There is also a remarkably high pressure in Western Australia, wherethe barometer has registered between 30.50 and 30.40 since the 15th inst.

The organisation is satisfactory and the time-tables are well constructed. The headmaster, conducts tiis work with good technical skill and unflagging industry. The second master's methods are good, and are applied with v_ry fair intelligence. The third master's teashin^ is generally of very fair quality, bub the written work of his class shows a strong tendency to drift into a careless style. Miss Curd is working her division ot third standard very creditably, but its writing will require some extra attention. Miss Sawle shows very commendable in dustry, bub fails to evoke the best efforts of which her pupils-are capable. Writing in her class also'scarceiy attains that style which is desirable. The pupil teachers of third and fourth years have their classes well in hand, and have received good training in school method. Mrs Willi's quite recently entered upon her duties. She has a clear conception of the work re quired from an infant mistress, and is applying herself to its performance with commendable energy. The senior pupil teachers in her department are doing very good work. Thos. Ritcbie, Inspector. All other subjects for inspector's re marks are classed satisfactory. ACCOUNTS.
