FOOTBALL.

On Saturday afternoon a team from KilHoehy, captained by Mr T. K. Hogg, tried conclusions with a scratch fifteen of the local club which, besides several members of thn second, included one of the first fifteen and two or three new players. The home team, captained by MrH. Curtis, were much too good for their opponents and put up the score of four goals and six tries, 38 points to nil. The visitors are to be complimented on the plucky and gentlemanly game they played. There was no great difference between the teams forwards, the weight of the visitors being counter balanced by more systematic packing of theAshburton forwards, but back the home team simply romped through their opponents. For the visitors Davidson and Hogg, backs, did good service, especially the latter, who was playing without support. Among their forwards Humphreys, Allen, MeClure, Hogg and Campbell played well. Of the Ashburton forwards the new man Lockharc, with Slattery, McTeague, Walker, and Dobbin were most con spicuous. A decided improvement in following up was noticeable among the local men, E. Matson showing up pro minently at times* Johnston at half played a good game, starting most of the passes, Conter also showed up well for a time, but had to retlra in the second spell through an accident. All the home backs played well, Purchase and the skipper particularly, their passing ab tiroes being very good indeed, Matson, Center, Purchase, Scott, McTeague. Slattery, Morgan (2), and Curtis (2), gained tries. Walker converted one try and Curtis three. Mr E. Healey acted as referea and Mr Bourke and another as touch line judges. After the match the visitors were entertained at Mrs Banger's Private Hotel, the interval between dinner and departure being enlivened by some capital songs.

INDIA NO MARKET.

Melboxjbne, June 11. The report of the two delegates who were sent to India by the Victorian Government to investigate trade pros pects is soucewhat discouraging. It would be useless, they report, to attempt to introduce frozen meat into India unless proper provision were naade for cool storage. The demand for the best quality of meat is small, tha principal business being done with the medium article. With regard to supplying the army, the delegates found that fresh meat can be obtained at much less cost locally than the frozen article,

The Clutha Licenses.

Dunedm Star.. j A legal gentleman, whs has taken a' very active interest in licensing legisla-: tion, informs us that he has grave doubts J about the power of Mr Hawkins, 5.91., to | issue wholesale licenses at all, within the! Clutha electorate. " There is no doubt," j he says, " that the Alcoholic Liquors Sale j Control Act doss not provide for local option applying to wholesale and packet licenses, therefore they have to be dealt with under the old Licensing Act of 1881: consequently, therefore, there can be no local option poll in connection with these particular classes of licenses. But the position is this. Under the Act of 1881 the Licensing Committee were elected, and the Chairman was elected by them; but that section of the Act of 1881 has been repealed, anl now the Chairman of the Licensing Committee is only Chairman of the Committee when the Committee hold their meeting. That this is the case Kay be easily proved by the consideration of this fact In some licensing districts in the colony there is more than one Resi dent Magistrate. Take for example, the Tiapeka electorate. The question is which one is Chairman of the Committee. The &ct meets this by saying that that one is Chairman who is present at the meeting of the Committee that is held in the place where he usually sits. For example, if the Licensing Committee of Tuapeka meet at Lawrence then Mr Hawkins is the Magistrate, but if, as happened the other day, the Tuapeka Committee meet at Roxburgh Mr Wood is Chairman, It is clear, from this provision, that there is no permanent Chairman; there is only a Chairman, at a meeting, and the Chairman will vary according to where the place of meeting is. This shows there can be no permanent Chairman of Committee, be . cause if that were so the result would be to have two Chairmen in one district and the Committee consisting not of nine but of ten members. There does not* however, seem to be any provision m the Act for the appointment of a permanent Chairman, and it is very doubtful if Mr Hawkins had any power to sit apart from his Committee. He is only Chairman of the Committee when the Committee are , sitting with him." Our authority added that it would soon be discovered that the Alcoholic Liquors Sale Control Act is really a gross legislative bungle, full of absurdities and pitfalls, and perlnps no piece of clumsier legislation was ever devised. Another point raised is this— that up to March of this year there were Resident Magistrates' districts, and Elec toral Districts. Since then Resident Magistrates' districts have been abolished, and every Stipendiary Magistrate has juris diction wherever he sits. This further shows that it could not have been meant that there were three or four Chairmen perhaps in one licensing district, and that therefore the Act only meant that there was to be a Chairman when a Committee was Hitting. It is true that under the Act of 18S1 there is provision for a Chairman or a Committee granting wnolesale licenses; but if, when the Act was passed, there was no provision for the election of » permanent Chairman, the result must be that these licenses must be granted by the Committee alone, and not by anyone who is Ohainonu of tbs meeting of the

Ashburton Racing Club.

The annual general meeting of the Aahburton Racing Club was held on Saturday evening. There , was a fair attendance. AHNUAL KEPORT, The annual report was read as follows:— Your Committee in presenting their annual report and balance sheet regret that the aeasonjusc closed haa not been financially more successful. As all bona fide country clubs throughout the colony haye found the present rule* laid down with regard to added money very oppressive, this Club could hardly have expected any other result. Your Committee began the year with a Credit balance of £655 la 9d. The total receipts during the year amounted to £1453 12*, and the total expenditure, including improve ments, to £1791 6s 9d. Thus the season's operations have reduced the Club's capital oy £337 I4s 9d, leaving a balance in hand at the present time of £817 7b. The principal items in the balance sheets of the last two seasons comnare as follows •—

Totaliaator Tax 243 5 5 275 4 6 Your Committee have during the year ex pended £250 in fencing, top dressing and improving the old tracks, and erecting per manent jumps for a steeplechase course. The tracks are now in capital order, and a large number of horses have during the season takes advantage of them for training par poses. The caretaker, J. McDonnell, haß done his work well, and the expenditure in this direction during the next season should be comparatively small. In framing their programmes for the season, your Committee endeavoured as for »s possible to keep the interests of the ?üblic, horse-owners, and the Clnb in view, 'wo steeplechases weie included in the spring programme in the place of hurdle races, partly at the request of the Hunt C!ub, and partly on account of the small entries received for some years past for the hurdle laces. The alteration was considered by most people to be an improvement. Having the sceepleohase course formed, the same experiment was tried in the autumn, but it was not a,success on account of so few steeplechase horses being in training at that season of the year. The introduction of pony races into the Autumn programme was made in order to comply with the arbitrary demand pf the Canterbury Jockey I Club to keep out added money up to the full I £1200 specified in their rules. The races I filled fairly well and were appreciated by the public. The third Ashburton Stakes was run at the Autumn Meeting and its sue- i cess justifies its continuance. Your Committee regret that in their efforts to inaugurate a South Island Country Racing .Clubs' Association, they have not met with such cordial support from other country clubs an they think their efforts deserved, probably due to reasons that will appear later on in this report. Your Com mittee spared no time or expense in taking all the necessary preliminary steps, and were att first sanguine that their efforts would be of great service to country clubs generally. The Association was formed, the first meet ing held at Ashburton on July 5 was at tended by twenty-eeven delegates and con siderable enthusiasm wa| manifested, the result being that the Conference then sitting at Wellington, agreed to the principal plat form of the Association, viz., " That country clubs should be allowed representation od the Bacing OonfereTnce." Subsequent meet ings were but? poorly attended. Your Com mittee, however, trusts that when the Con ference meets at Wellington this year, the importance o! such an Association will be realised by all country clubs, and that your Commijtee'seffortswillnotprovetobeinvain, Your Committee t have during the season made temporary arrangements with Messrs Mason ana Roberts for working the totalisa tor at their meetings, the old contract having expired; but they would recommend to their successois the advisability of making fresh arrangements of a more permanent nature. Your Committee would point out that this source of revenue to the Club jb constantly on the decrease. The revenue from the totalisator in 1891 amounted to £795 17a, while this year it on'y reached £442 17a 7d. A new lease of ths racecourse reserve has been obtained froth-»»ie trustees, on the same terms, and for the same time »3 the old one expired. Your Committee were taken somewhat by surprise at the action of the new Licening Committee in refusing a licenae for booths at the Autumn Meeting. Your Committee, seeing the loss that would result to the Club, tried hard to influence the decision of the Committee, but without effect. Arrange ments were made by the Ckairm&n for the comfort of visitors, which were greatly ap preciated, bit* the Club will in future lose any revenue from this source. The lamented death of our late starter, Mr Samuel Powell, created a lo3s your Com mittee found great difficulty in replacing, and his absence from our Autumn Meeting was a subject of general regret. After a large amount of deliberation your Com mittee appointed Mr John Cresswell to fill the post of starter. Dr Tweed has given notice of motion to move at this meeting that certain old members of this Club, for valuable services rendered in the past Bhould be ap pointed honorary life members of the Clnb. As many of these gentlemen have been members of the Club trom its inauguration, and have rendered safcive tervice during the whole of that time, it is only reasonable to suppose that such a proposition would be favorably considered by the members. The Chairman in moving the adoption of the annual report and balance sheet, aaid he regretted the decrease in the funds of the club, bat pointed out that this was due to no faulfc of the manage ment, bub arose partly on account of the large falling off in receipts from the totalisator, and partly because tbis club, and »H the bona fide country cluba, were compelled by the new rules of racing to give more added money than chey could afford. He trusted that at the next me et tng of the Conference, some alteration la this respect would be made. The Ash burton O'ttb had tried hard to impress upon other country clubs the importance of taking some united action by joining j ,thj Sopth, Mand Oountrv Bacing Clubs Association, but up to the present time they had not received such unanimous support from -the other country clubs I the importance of the subject deserved. I The expenditure in permanent improve ments had absorbed a considerable sum, which would nob be required another year. He pointed that although the club was in a perfectly sound position, great care would be necessary in the future to avoid running in debt. Mr Denshire seconded the adoption of the report and balance sheet, which were adopted. The following officers were elected for the year:— President, Mr E. Q. Wright; Vice-President, Mr Hugo Friedlander ; Judge, Mr M. Stitt, Clerk of the Scales, Mr B. Frtedlander; Treasurer, Mr S, H. Graves,' Stewards, Messrs G. A. McLean-Buckley, J. C. N. Grigg. E. G. Crisp. B. Gates, C. W. Pumell, W. W. Tiyttelfcon, and Dr Leahy. Messrs E. J. Paul and M. Hobba were elected members of the clnb. It was decided to appoint a committee to draw up notices of motion to be sub mitted to the Racing Conference afc the next meeting. ! Messrs W. B. Denshire, M- Stitt, E. G. Celsp, 0. W. Purnell, and Hugo Fried lander were unanimously elected life 1 members for valuable service rendered in i the past* 1 A Vote of thanks to the Chairman and retiring officer was carried unanimously, and was breefly responded, to, and the

A Corpse After Ten.

Eeirch Lights, And so our citizens are to became sober by Act of Parliament —or, act of Mr Bee than), and his assistants of the Licensing Committee—after ten o'clock o'nlghts Well, perhaps. I fear, however, that the enterprising toper will invent new ways to circumvent this latest outbreak of a too spasmodic morality. Here is a case in point: A publican, standing at his door a few midnights since and contemplating the mystery of the starry heavens, be came aware of the entanglement of a man and a cab. "Mine host," the cabman, and a passing police officer bore the unconscious and appacently deceased vie* tim in'o the hotel—the constable proceed ing to uproot a sawbones. The landlady, aroused from slumber, armed herself with a tumbler and grouped herself around the sufferer. Presently a slight tremor snoc athwart the oorpse's face; one eye uncorked and glared in the direction where the policeman had recently stood, an unsteady hand grasped the landlady's tumbler and pallid lips took a meagre sup of the contents. "Wasyer call this?*' enquired the deceased—"Water—drink it, 'twill do you good." "No bloomin' fear. Minesh whiskey, wash your's eabbysh?" Then the remains safe up briskly and smiled broadly. When the constable returned cabby and corpse had both left, each oatside six whiskies. And the landlord looked conscious that something had been attempted, someone done.
