Mr Ward said it was not desfrabl < his

should be done. The leader of the oppo sition was greatly responsible for wh-.t had occurred to-night, and he ouglu So be the first to uphold constitu:jura! principles. Mr Joyce, chairman of Committees, ruled that the Hansard staff must remain.

The discussion continued until 3 a.m , when Sir Robert Stout's amendment was rejected by 30 to 18. Another amendment by Sir Robert Stout, to omit banan .s, pine apples, was lost by 2^l to 19, and an amendment to strike out coco&nuts was lost by 83 to 14 i

ASHBURTON MARKETS.

Mr David Thomas reports upon the live stock market in the Ashburton county for the week ending September 12 as follows t —On Tuesday at the Tinwald yards the usual weekly sale was held. The atten dance wae fair, amongst those present being several eager buyers, whose exertions re sulted in a total clearance of all lots at from Is to Is Sd per head above last week's quotations. Taken all round, with few ex ceptions, the sheep were the most poverty stricken lot which have appeared at the yards for years. Condition did not appear to make any difference to the buyers j they shut their eyes and kept on biddiug. The totals yarded for the day consisted of 3529 sheep, 35 head of cattle, and 5 pigs, of which my entry was made up of 2112 sheep, 18 head of cattle and 5 pigs, and I succeeded in clearing the whole of my entry at the fol lowing prices:—Sheep—13 f*fc two-tooths lis lid, 47 fat two-tooths 10s sd, 97 merino wethers 9. 4d, 37 fat two-tooths lis Bd, 70 crossbred hoggets 6s lid, 44 crossbred hoggets 9s 7d, 155 crossbred hoggets 9s 9.), 131 crossbred two-tooths in lamb 8s 4d, 166 halfbred hoggets 9~, 248 merino ewea in lamb 4s 9d, 83 threequarterbred hoggets 9s lOd, 63 halfbred wethers 12a lid, 48 cross bred hoggets 6a, 282 crossbred hoggets 8i Bd, 83 crossbred ewes 5s 9d, 152 hoggets 5s 3d, 2QQ hoggets 5s Id, 55 hoggets 7s 31. 58 hoggets 7s sd.

CHORAL CONCERT.

There was a good attendance at the Wesleyan Church last night on the occasion of the concert given by the choir. The programme was full, well arranged, and well selected. A pianoforte solo by Mr J. Friedlander was the first item, and the' young player acquitted himself cfreditdbly. Later on Master _j. Kempthome contributed a pianoforte item with accep tance, and in the second part Llewellyp {.wen played a quotation from Chopin in his usual careful style. Mr Marsden'sexquisitely played euphonium solos—the '■ Lost chord " and " The death of Nelson " —were the other instrumental pieces. Miss Venie Flower's " Better L*nd " (Cowen) was given with ex cellent taste, and in response to an encore she sang the last verse. Her other song was Blumenthars " Sunshine and Rain," for her exquisite singing of which she was encored, and gave in response "Someday." Miss Steel's "Star of Bethlehem" was well sung, and deserved the encore it received. Mrs Peter Williams' contribution was a pleasing , rendering of " Dream stories." With the singiag of the three above mentioned ladies Ashuurton concert goors are familiar, but but there has now to be noticed a vocalist who made her first bow to the public on this occasion, in the peison of Miss Kathleen Orr, whose song " The Children's Home" was beautifully given, and highly appreciated by the audience. Misb Orr gives promise of the possession of a lovely contralto voice, the beauties of which will no doubt be care fully seen to and preserved by the lady who has the direction of her vocal studies. The other soloists included Mr Robert Needham, the Timaru tenor, whose singing was a great treat. His " Holy city "in the fjrst part was enthusiastically' received, as was als6 tHe ** Ora pro nobis" he'sung in encore. In tlie second part he gave '"Adieu, Marie and for encore Sydney Nelson's '* Mary o' Argyle.'' Another ftoloist, too, was Mr Meyeiiberg, whose rendering of the sqng set dpwm for him was on'y fairly good. Duets were sung by Mrs Williams and Mr Need- Jjam—?* Life's dream is o'er, farewell,'": —and by Mi-:ses Steel and Flower—"lf wo merry heart- .are we." The c'horul pieces were gjven in careful and' expressive style, the. time admirably kept, and due attention paid to light aiidsh^de. Llewellyn Owen conducted with his usual precision,'and JVfiss Murrajf Was an efficient accompanist.

THE AMERICAN CUP

♦—— — New York, September 12 Lord Dunraven declined to sail in the succeeding races in the confined space amid the crowding steamers, but is willing to sail over the Marblehead course. The com mittee has agreed, and strenuous efforts will be made to keep the steamers at a safe distance. Tbe owners of the Defender have offered to sail Tuesday's race over again. | New York, September 13 Lord Dunraven's reason for declin ing to go on with the contest is that it j is useless to race because the committee decline to declare the heat void when steamers obstruct the course. The editor of the Boston Globe has offered

a five thousand dollars cup to be com pleted for at Marblehead, The Defen der's agent on board the Valkyrie acquits the Valkyrie of blame for Tues day's collision. A large body of Ameri can opinion blames the committee for declining Lord Dunraven's proposal to sail the race again on the Marblehead course, and considers the interests of yachting are sacrificed to the excursion ists.

Ashburton Chess Club.

This Club completed a most successful season on Thursday evening, and at the close of the play the result of the sealed handicap was declared as follows :—

The handicaps have been reduced in each case 2, two players having withdrawn with out playing. The tourney began late In May, and seventy eight games have been play ad. - '■ The win of Sfr Willis is a most creditable one s aa he lost no games in the series, and played from scratch. It is a matter for congratulation that several new members have joined the Club during the past season, ! some Of whom showed up creditably in the tourney, and gave evidence of considerable ability at this ancient and scientific game. The arrangements for the match against Timaru^ are now nearly completed, the local team going south by express on Thursday next, 10th. It is expected that the names of the players iv both teams as paired to play will be noticed in a day or t\yo.

CAN'T DODGE A C LD.

Colds laugh at an umbrella, top coats, or heavy bcots ; the chill and dampness of the foggy weather courses through even the heaviest clothing. There is not a mm, woman or child in Australia but who' occasionally hag a cold. You do not always know how you get it, but everyone knows that severe colds are the forerunner of half the human ailments. '1 he feet get cold, the head hot, circulation becomes unequal, the kidneys become irritated, the liver torpid, the bronchial tubes inflamed, or the excess 1 of uric acid in the blood is arrested and the accumulation causes acute rheumatic pains. The first shiver, or sneeze, or chilly sensa tion you feel procure a bottle of Warner's Safo Cure, the timely use of which will save you from these menacing developments | resulting from a cold. It quickers the cir i culation, and the kidneys cannot become inactive under its use. It enliven, the liver, and the bile cannot accumulate in excess. It kills the germs of the cold, and acts promptly in allaying inflammation Mr P. Cobcroft, miner, Newcastle, writes : " Having caught a severe chill while work ing in the coal mines in this neighborhood, alarming symptoms developed, and I became very ill. The attack ultimately settled in the kidneys. The urine became of a deep red color, depositing a brick-dust sediment. I suffered excruciating pains in the back, and periodically in the region of the heart My limbs at last became quite numbed and almost useless. Becoming alarmed, I ob tained the advice of a doctor, who said I had inflammation of the kidneys. He prescribed medicines which, however, did me no good. I was about to call another doctor when a mate of mine urged me to take Warner's Safe Cure. Accordingly, I used ten bottles, ■end two bottles of Warner's Safe Pills, after which I became quite fit to follow my work as of old, and have continued to do so ever since. My cure is cotnp'ete 5

«' Perhaps you would not think so, but a very large proportion of diseases in. New York comes from carelessness about catching cold," says Dr Cyrus Edson. 'It is such a simple thing and so common that very few people, unless it is a case of pneumonia, pay any attention to a cold. There are a great many cases of catarrh and consumption which have their origin in this neglect of the simplest precaution of everyday life. The most sensible advice is, when you have one, get rid of it as soon as possible. By all means do not n.gleot it,' Dr Edson does not tell you how to cure a cold but we will.
