The debate was continued by Mr Hall Jones who objected to many features of the Bill, but would vote for the second reading with a view to amending it in Committee. Mr Parata would support the Bill in all its stages. Messrs Hall and Harris generally | supported the Bill. At 2.5 a. m. Mr Ward replied. He complained of the misapprehension and misconception, and the very incorrect idea that prevailed among members in regard to the Bill. It was untrue, as stated by the member for Patea, that ■ the Bill had been altered since it was first brought down to the House, and in reference to what the same member said about the credit of the colony, he (Mr Ward) pointed out that stocks had risen since the publication of the details of the Financial Statement in the London daily papers. The Bill was not a copy of the Victorian Bill, as stated by Dr Newman, who forgot to mention that the tables in the two systems were altogether different. As; to land bonds, they would go to the lender and not to the borrower. He denied, as stated by Captain Russell, that oapital was being seat out of the colony because of the legislation of the present Government. He could under stand the hon member's difficulty m discussing his scheme, when he had himself proposed to borrow twenty millions to lend at cheap rates at a time when the mortgages in the colony amounted to £5,635,000, and the money was to have been borrowed at 6 per cent. In reply to Sir Robert Stout he said he had made no mistake as to the cost of the schernp, and the officers were to be utilised for other departments. All the Government wanted to see was cheap money, or if private individuals and local institu tions liked to step in, and offer money at five and five and a half per cent, Government would only be too happy to let them do it. This was what was being done since these proposals came down. He denied that Government had de parted from the Financial Statement in framing details of the Bill. Govern ment, he said, could get money at three per cent, and had no intention of pay ing over 3| per cent for it ; but the proviso to borrow up to four per cent was a necessary one, and served as an extra precaution. It was intended to issue inscribed stock. He could not agree to Mr Millar's proposal to revert to paper currency. To make the de partment strong, large advances must alternate with small. If they were limited to a small maximum the Bill need not proceed further. There should be a limit to the extent of bor rowing under the Bill of so many years, but the proposal to only vote from year to year would mitigate against the success of the Bill. The colony was paying at the rate of £43,500 in six years in legal expenses, and the Bill would not add one sixpence to these expenses. The only increase in expen diture would be in connection with the valuers. The second reading was agreed to on the voices. The House rose at 2.45 a.m.

SPORTING.

ASHBURTON RACING CLUB SPRING MEETING. FIRST DAY. The Spring Meeting of the Ashburton Racing Club opened under rather auspicious ' circumstances to-day. The waither indi cations in the early part of the morning were anything but reassuring, but doubts were dispelled at about eleven o'clock, and from then the weather was essentially rac ing weather. The attendance was about equal to that of the first day at the Autumn Meeting, and judging from the totalisator, the sinews of war were in evidence. The recent legislation had an apparent effect with the " wee books," whose whispers were as silent as the burial of Moore; Mrs Huffam, in charge of the refreshment booths, was kept as busy as a bee, and should come out ail right at the finish, while Mrs Jewitt had smiles for the lovers of fried fish and oysters. The following are details of racing till going to press:— j Ashbueton Hurdle Race, ol 40 soys. i\ | {miles, j 35 Mr W.
