CRICKET

The return match between the Longbeach and Ashburton Clubs was played on the Domain on Saturday, and resulted in a win Ashburton by *even wickets. For the Xiongbeach side Sims, junr., and Hutton, showed the best form both with the bat and the ball, while Black and Davis were the moat successful run getters for the local team. The brothers Andrews and Davis earned off the bowling honors, George Andrews being in specially good form. Mrs and Miss Fooks kindly provided afternoon.) tea. Appended are the scores :— I

Mr McLachlan, M.H.R., at Leeston.

Mr MsLichlar. addressed the electors In the Town Hall, Leeston.on Saturday. There was a crowded audience, and Mr W. McMillan occupied the chair. Mr McLachlan gave a repetition of his Ashburton speech, snd answered a num ber of questions. A vote of thanks and confidence was carried.

The Chiistchurch Star of last night Ba y ß ;—Nothing now remains to Mr J. McLachhn, the member for Ashburton, but to send in his resignation to the Speaker. He could not possibly politi cally survive the scene at Rakaia, and there can be little doubt that he more than fully realises that fact. At the same t me, let it bo said thab bis constituents, and not the man, are to blame for all that has happened. As a man, few can say aught againßt Mr McLachlan ; as a poli tician, how can one speak of him at all ? If thp electors are rot prepared to consider the fitness of things when voting for a candidate, well, all the worse for the con stituents. The member for Ashburton should never have sought such a position, nor should the electors have encoureged him. However, the regrettable incident in question, and the comments it has called forth, serve to show how public opinion has changed within the past few years. Time was, and that net very long ago, eith.-r, when constituencies—especi ally on the goldfields—returned men who were known to be addicted to drink. Can we not all recall the time when some of the "shining lights" of the House were drunken when addressing their constitu ents, and can we not al«o remember that the said constituents thought it rather good fun 1 But times change, and we change with them. There ought to be one more staunch teetotaller in New Zea land from this day forth.
