THE BOROUGH ELECTION.

TO THE EDITOR.

Sir,— ln your Monday's issue, I noticed » letter signed "Fair Play." I should have been pleased to have met the ratepayers, aud given my views on matters munioipal, which is only reasonable. I don'o think it would have been far wrong if a meeting for :. the purpose wan called at every eleotion; however, it was not done, but Che next beßt thing "Fair Play" suggested was very innocent indeed, quite a new idea of fair play. I fancy the poor fellow was bent m a certain direction and could not help it, so I forgive him. I believe much m fair play, and that is all I want to-morrow. I have no feeling against the old councillors. It was only after .one of them informed me he was not going to seek re-election that I allowed myself to be nominated again. If 1 am elected I am determined to do my duty, and give f air play to all, as far as possible. 1 think a little new blood might do some good. New brooms sweep clean, and no set of men can have all the wisdom. It takes all sorts to make a world, and I am sure it wanqs a few 'sorts to make a good Council. Trusting that fair play will prevail all round to-morrow, I am, with best wishes for the borough, Geo. W. Andbews.

THAT ADVERTISEMENT.

fO THE EDITOB.

. Bir, — I notice m your report of the Domain Board meeting, which was held on Monday night, that the Chairman accused me of inserting an advertisement m the Guardian with his name attached to it. I give this a most emphatic denial. I did not send any advertisement to the paper, nor had any officer of the Sports Association* anything to do with it. Mr Thomas moved a letter of censure to be sent to me. Thanks. Mr Paul seconded it, and spoke very strongly. Thanks. Mr Paul has been on the Counoil for some years, and I expect he hopes to get back again ; and-he thinks it is time he had done something to win the confidence and esteem of the ratepayers, and he seized the opportunity and dressed tile Secretary of the Sports Association down, and expounded his views most lucidly. I am very glad that something has occurred to give Mr Paul an opportunity of displaying his oratorship. — I am, etc.

BURNETT STREET.

Tht "Worit of Levelling*.

The work of reducing Burnett Street to the regulation level is proceeding apace. Over all it was about' five inches too high, but this exceßS of height was so irregular that m some parts a hump of nine inches exiated, while m others the excess was as low as an inch and a half. The street was too high above the level over an extent of ten chains, bub as during the recent very wet weather the portion from East Street

■flown- to the Somerset stable gateway was somewhat heavily shingled, it has beeu < decided not to do this part at present. We have not of late had much reason to adversely criticise the doings of the municipal powers that be ; but m this instance we take the liberty of questioning the wisdom of allowing this part of the street to remain out of level. The work would not take long to do, and if done now while the whole street is open, would be done with once for all. But if it is left undone the chances are that it will be " let slide" for a lengthened period, remain ing an eyesore to many, and a source ot frequent discussion at the Council table. It would certainly be better to have it done now, and let the whole stretch of ten chains be done m one job. The street has done good service. It was first formed over twenty years ago, m the days of the old Ashburton Road Board, when Mr J. Stanley Bruce was overseer and surveyor, and before Messrs Fooks and Son had laid down the osci»V levejs. %b has had but the usual allowance of shingle and surfacemen's attention that the other streets Have had, and has lasted fairly well, but m some parts — opposite the Orange Hall more particularly—it was Badly uneven, and a levelling down was absolutely neoessary. Latterly, too, at the work of levelling down was m view, the Works Committee have not been anxious to do more work on it thaa could be avoided, and m consequence soft weather gave us a more than usually soft Burnett street. This will be changed with the completion of the street; at anyrate, after the new work has settled ; and pedes trians will have some pleasure m using it. There is only the one regret about it— that the work is not. to be carried right on to the main street. .

THE RACE FOR THE * CHAMPIONSHIP.

London, September 8 The banks of the Thames were lined by thousands to witness the race for the championship, and the greatest enthusiasm was cjisplay.ed. For half a. milp the boats were r lovely Stanbiiry appearing to be rowing his hardest, while Gaudaur was evidently holding h|s position without being pushed. At the end of three-quarters of a mile Gaudaur was almost clear of the Australian, whose stroke was shorter a.pd its finish less clean thsn that of the Canadian, who ahot past the mile post iv 4min 52sec, and had a clear lead of a length. Gaudaur was rowing easily at the time, and Hammersmith bridge was reached inßmin 52sec, when Stanbury made a desperate effort to get up to the leader, but only succeeded m overlapping the stern of Gaudaur's boat. From that out the race was merely a procession. The winner's t?me was 2^rain 1J lseo. Stanbury finished 45sec later. Gaudaur received a great ovation. ]&r Innes, the judge, states that wfeen the boats fouled they were m neutral water. Th;e SpprtmW aa J B Stanbury rowed a game race, and the Sporting Life dpolares that Gaudaur always had the best of the go.

Asburton Presbyterian Church.

the l»r«*byt«rim Report

At the meeting of tho Presbytery m Christchurch on Tuesday, before a xederunl . of fifteen ministers and five elders, the Fresbyterial report on the Ashburton con gregation was submitted by Rev. J. Mackie, ' who represented the commission appointed to visit the Ashburton congregation. The report showed that there were two churches m the charge, three service* being held every Lord's day, with a total average attendance of 400. There was a membership of 150, of which an average of 70 took part m the quarterly Communion. There were four Bible classes, three Sabbath schools, an Endeavour Society, a ladies' missionary sewing class, a ladies' cottage Bible reading, and a Band of Hope. Attention was given by the minister to the public instruction of his people m Fresbyterianism, and he took a prominent part m the cause ot temperance. The Indies of the congregation added to the | minister's^ ordinary pastoral work such special means for the promotion of morality and religion m the district as the distribu tion of religious literature, the weekly visitation of the Old Men's Home, and Bible reading m the day school. There were no seat rents, yet the animal income from all sources increased from £449 m 1893 to £607 163 at the close of last congregational year, and the debt on the manse had been con siderably reduced since the Fresbyterial visit three years ago. The Committee bore wit ness to the energy and Kficcesa of Mr Inglis m his important Charge, and were glad to know that he and his people had reason to take courage for the measure, not only of financial, but of spiritual prosperity that had attended them. The session comprised the pastor and three elders, r

The Rev R. S. Allan and Mr John Boag en dorsed the report. - - c

The Rev G. Webster moved the adoption of the report, and spoke m complimentary terms of the excellent work done by Mr Inglis.

The Rev P. J. Riddle seconded the motion, which was carried unanimously.

Elders' commissions Were received as

under :— Southbridge, Mr A. Storey, and Ashburton, Mr A. Orr. ,

The following were appointed a Sabbath School Examination Committee :— The Revs G. B. Inglis (Convener), R. McCully, A. M. Wright, R.S. Allan, 3. M&ckie, W. Scorgie, A. H. Treadwell, G. Webster, and W. J. Gow. '

T7NWALD CONGREGATION.

The Rev J, Skinner reported that he had obtained the services of Mr I. R. Barton, a student evangelist from Otago, to supply May field r and he (Mr Skinner) had taken the services at Binds. A section of land had been bought at Mayfield, and a collec tion had been made towards the building of a cottage manse. Mr Barton was doing excellent work, and intended qualifying himself for foreign mission work.

Satisfaction was expressed at the excellent report made by Mr Skinner, and the appoint ment ot Mr Barton was approved.
