Mr Beeves explained that it would be more convenient to adopt this course as the Bill would probably be con siderably altered by the Committee. NATIVE LAND COURT BILL. The Native Land Court Bill was read a second time pro forma on the motion of the Premier m order |o allow it to go to the Native Affairs' Committee. ADULTERATION PREVENTION BILL. On the motion of the Premier the Adulteration Prevention Act Amend ment Bill, to amend the law relating to the sale of bread, was read a second time. The Bill has already passed the Legislative Council. THE RATING BILL. Mr Ward moved the second reading of the Bating Bill to consolidate the law for regulating, making, and levying rates. Be said that the Bill was a consolidating measure and the right pfoce to take discussion on it would be m Committee. The motion was agreed to. j RATING OH UNIMPROVED VALUE BILL, j Mr Ward moved the second reading of the Bating on Unimproved Value Bill to authorise rating on the unim proved value of lands. He shortly ex plained the provisions of the Bill, and stated that it permitted, m case of gas and water rates, the rating on groBS instead of unimproved value. On the motion of Mr Mitchelson the debate was adjourned till Tuesday. SECOND READINGS.

The annual meeting of the Ashburton Cricket Club was held last night. About thirty members were present, and Mr C. W, Purnel!, President, occupied the chair. FINANCE. The treasurer read a statement which showed that though a successful season had been held, the finances exhibited a debit balance ot £13. A number of subscriptions were outstanding.

A CRICKET WEEK. A letter was read from the Canterbury Cricket Association stating that that Associa tion were intending to inaugurate a country cricket week. The Association suggested that the various country clubs should ar range a series of matches to take place m Christchurch say during the November holi days, the series to finish up with a match- Combined Country v Town. THE SOUTH CANTERBURY ASSOCIATION. Mr G. Andrews apoke strongly against the A.C.C. remaining affiliated with the South Canterbury Cricket; Association. If they were to join an Association he considered it would be of more advantage to theClcb to join the North Canterbury Association* They would be likely to get more matches* He thought they were too far away for any As sociation to be of any real benefit. Mr Davis considered that any Association was of little advantage to Ashburton. Mr Denshire pointed out that Associations were a benefit m allowing combinations of country clubs to have an opportunity of com peting against a first-class cricket team, instancing the recent New South Wales match. It was decided that the question of adher ing to the South Canterbury Association be deferred for the present, Mr Andrews was appointed as delegate to the Association. SPORTS ASSOCIATION.

Caledonian Society.

Annual Ball: The annual ball given by the Caledonian Society last night was quite a brilliant affair. It was a fancy dress gathering, and many o* tne costume* were remarkably rtty, and some very original. The blaze color, as the dancers whirled m the figures of the dance, wai quite dazzling. Over one hundred couples attended, and m addition to these about another hundred of non-dancers —young and old—were there. The hall had been specially prepared for the occasion. The windows were all draped m Liberty muslin, chocolate figured, with wreaths of living foliage running along the wall dado, and up the spaces betweenthe windows. The recesses on either side of the front entrance—not used last night—were boarded off from the main hall with slide scenery from the stage, and the hall alto gether presented a really neat and tasteful scene to the visitor. The artists m this connection were, it was said, Messrs Elston and Tucker, and their work was highly satisfactory. The stage was divided into two apartments by the running of a forest scene access it, one apartment being Bet aside as a supper room, and the other utilised as a vantage ground for the old people to look on at the dancing. Mr Gates' band supplied the music, and at intervals between dances a vocal and instrumental programme was gone through, the items of which were contributed by members and friends of the Society. The interest of the gathering was increased by step dancing competitions. Prizes had been offered for these, and Mr Alick Anderson waß awarded first m adults, but he was the only one m the class. Some nine juveniles entered, and after all had danced, and gracefully too, to the great pleasure of the onlookers, the farst and second prizes m the girls' class were awarded to the Bisters McKenzie, and m the boys' class Willie Anderson was first, Hamilton McKenzie Douglas second, and Henry Bradbury third. Mr Alick McKay was piper, of course, and played for all the Scotch dances, Messrs McKenzie and Nicholas being M O.'s. There was perhaps the largest number of kilted men present that the Society has ever been able to muster at any of its gatherings, and among the ladies appeared an *■' Helen Macgregor" (Miss Mular) that would have done honor to an Eloise Juno m her palmiest days. The catering was m the hands of Mr Bryant, and was all that could be desired.

TURNIPS. UNLIKE the mangold, this crop will not stand much forcing. When over 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, bat lessened. — Goutdingk JUST enough Nitrogen should be given to give the Turnip a quick start through the "fly;" and for this purpose I can recommend my Bone Bust.

Holloway's Pills axd Oiniment.—The combined ill effects of over-crowding, seden tary occupations and monotony of life are only too well known to those who have to pass the beat part of their live 3 laboring m factories and crowded workrooms. The compukory confinement weakens the general health and induces chronic constipation, indigestion, and various forma of skin diseases. Holloway's remedies are of price less value to persons of this class, for they can be used without entailing loss of work, being purely vegetable m their composition, and consequently act without harshness on the most delicate system. The experience of more than fifty years proves that no means surpass Holloway's remedies for curing bad legs, bad breasts, piles, and wounds of all kinds. __
