c-ll the Inspector, who simply desired tt follow hie instruction, from head quarters, and it was for the court to say whethei what he required to he done was reason able. The point was not whether Mr Peter's employees and others came here and said they were satisfied, but whether the men were provided with the same quality of accommodation that they would get In their own homes, which the law said they should be provided with in shearing buildings. He called Constable Fade (Inspector for Ashburton district) who said he had inspected all the shearing accommodation in his district. Had inspected Mr Peter's, by direction oi the department, last Monday. Found the accoirmodation of all the stations in his district sufficient, with slight alterations, which had be«n carried ■out. Mr Peter's was very rough, the roughest he had visited. There was separate sleeping accommodation at all the others. Considered it necessary there should be. Mr Peter* accommo dation was not sufficient for health and Comfort. By Mr Purneil—Knew some men went to Anama year after year. Did j not know they were farmers who were not obliged to go. Most shearers take their breakfast and dinner in their greasy olothes, they have not time to change.— Andrew Morgan (Inspector for Middle Island) said he visited Anama on Septem ber 25, and found the accommodation as described by last witness. Discussed the matter with Mr Peter, and indicated the alterations required The budding re quired was takon from the pl.n of another, which was the cheapest, suitable tc. the purpose, he had seen. Considered the alterations neceesary. Should not tie Mr Peter down to a particular building, if ha worald put np what was suitable. There was separatesleeplngaccommodation every where, except at Anama, now. No one but Mr Peer had objected to provide it. , By Mr Purneil —Had had no personal experience cf shearing or shearing accommodation.—Mr Purneil submitted that his objection had not been met as to there being no power to order a new building It was absurd that an In spector, who admitted he knew nothing should come here and say the accommodation was insufficient.and compe an owner to go to unnecessary expense. " As to what had been said übout the witnesses being employed by Mr Peter, he, Mr Purneil, had purposely avoided bringing a score o. so of his shearers, for the very m^on that ib would be said they would not go against their employer, and the witntwaes he had brought were all inde pendent men, not usually employed on the station, except the fehephe.d, who lived in the end of the cook house, and had come to give evidence as to that building sa there was no cook at present —The S.M. said the wording of the Act was not very clear, but he thought it covered the providing of sufficient accomo dation even to the extent of erecting a new building. The question was whether . the Inspector had required anything unreasonable and from the evidence of two Inspectors it was shown that Mr Peter's was the only place on which separate sleepingrooms were not provided, and after hearing the evidence he thought the Inspector had not asked for anything unreasonable, and the appeal would be dismissed.

SWIMMING RACES.

The Ashburton Amateur Swimming Club opened its season on Thursday afternoon. There was a good attendance, aad a very short programme (very much too short) was placed bfeore the Club's patrons. The Fifty Yards Senior Handicap was a ,-»rand race from start to finish, F. Smith j'&st winning on the touch, Thompson second. Titt-e, 47see, For the 220 yards there were only three ♦entries- Thompson and McTeague junr., took the water together, both swimming a strong sfcs»dy utroke. Thompson turned ifiret at the 110 yards, but almost immediately t;hey drew level; manfully eaoh lifted him eolf through the water, aad at tap seventy, five yards McTeague had a clear lead of a couple of yards, swimming if possible, a more powerful and beautifully even stroke. Thompson held doggedly to his work, swimming a most plucky raoe, hut the posi tions were nob changed, aDd McTeague won with something left* and a smile. They awam a grand dual* aad the Club is proud of

them. An exhibition of diving closed the pro ceedings, and opened the season. There was but one entry for the junior s j-ace' This aoea not say much for them. Tkey ought to rally and join the Club, the fiubsiMptiira to which i_ but half-a crown. There is always strength in numbers as well *a u_uty*-and the junior, ought to join in sjumbere «nd make the Club the success it always has baen.
