CHERTSEY.

From Our Own Correspondent J Since writing you my last, we have safely negotiated election day and all its attendant excitement. We had, with (he exception of Messrs McKeague and McLach'au, addresses from the Selwyn and Ashburton candidates, and each of them got a good hearing. Mr Maslin led off wilh an able defence of the government, and as I each of the others arrived, interest gradually r increased, until it got quite exciting at the finish. If. was generally thought here that Selwyn would be a close -thing, but the knowing ones predicted that if nothing else would do it, prohibition would sink Mr Saunders. Mr Waaon'e popularity gave him a very substantial majority m Cherbsey and Kyle. In both these places there was also a very decided support for "continu ance " m the local option ballot. On election night there was an excited but good humored party of about thirty, that waited at the telegraph office until — twft~-in the morning. Aa each result ■~" wan made known by Mr Firman, postmaster, it was received with cheers, mingled occasionally with sounds of diaaent. The return of Messrs Lewis, Smith, and Collins, was wrongly announced for Christ church, and was well received, but when the mistake was corrected, and Mr Taylor's election announced, it was received with L^etrong marks of disapproval. As I am writing, we are experiencing our i old friend the nor'-wester. Another day or | bo of this hot dry weather and the oata will I suffer very severely. As yet the wheat has been able to hold its own, bnt it is sincerely l_ hoped that it will not have to Btand the """ test much longer. As there is a very much larger area than u?ual m crop this year, the weather 13 the all absorbing topic just now. The friends of Mr James Copland will be eorry to learn that while assisting his men to unload wool at Rakaia a few days ago the horses moved on, and Mr Copland, who was raising a, bale of wool at the time, fell from the dray, hurting his ribs very severely. However, though rather a bad accident, he m ikes light of it, and it to be eeen about aa «~- usual. A son of Mr Sam. Ross's, of Oversale, fell from a tree the other day while birdnesting, and broke his arm. Dr Cordner attended ' the sufferer, who is now doing all right. A . meeting of the Chertsey School Com mittee was held on Saturday evening, to settle up. matters m connection with the treat. There were present — Messrs W. Oakley (chair), J. Stnngfellow, W. Ealham, J. Ironside, and G. Scarlett. Matters m connection wibh the treat were settled, and a Bmall account was passed for payment. It was agreed to break up for the Christmas holidays on December 29 for five wet ks. It was resolved to get Mr J. P. Willcocks to fix tfce windows during the holidays. During the late warm weather our swimming bath hsis been the common resort m the evening. It is quite gratifying after the trouble it took to get it there, to see how much it is appreciated. During their dinner hour the schoolboys are allowed to use it, and it is a boon much prizsd by the lada. _ ___ __ __
