FINANCE. His Worship reported tbab the debit balance »fc the Bank wra £1620, aod the income from all sources received since last meeting had been £261 BA-ASCE SHEET. The balance sheet of the Borough was returned by the Auditor duly audit d, and next meeting of Council was fixed ay a special meeting for is adoption. SHEEP DEPARTMENT.

The special committee appointed to consider the question of ihe Wakanui cretk reported. The report contained an offer from the millowners to hand over to the Borough Council the intake of the Wakanui creek, land and house at the head of the raoe, taking a water right for twenty-one years, and paying for it £100 per annum, bub retaining a claim to enough water for the purpose of driving thn mill, but In the event- of the mill being destroyed by fire, the annual payment to be remitted if the millownera e'esire it. The committee were instructed to interview the County Connoil on the creek question. KNGINEEKS' KBPOKT. The Engineers' rep irt was read. The firab two clauses wei c of the usual formal character. Clause 3 read as under : — Alteration o! Library Building.— We J have fijone into the deta'ls of the proposed alteration of the library building, namely, taking away the present stairs leading to the large upper 'room, appropriating that room for the public reading room, and the present; reading room for the council chambers, m whioh the library books may be kept, also of constructing a strong room. On full consideration of the plan we hardly feel justified m recommending the carrying ifc out. We believe for one reason that the proposed arrangements would prove only temporary, and that much of the expense ental'eJ would to a great extent be wasted, also that it would be more economical and more satlsfactoiy if a definite plan be adopted, that would meet all requirements, and could be oarritd oub when and how the Council thought fit. We have prepared a plan with that view, which we big to submit for the Council's consideration. Clause 3 was referred to the Works and Library Commi tees. MUKICirAL C DEFERENCE- His Worship brUfly reported as to what had been done at tho municipal conference. ACCOUNTS. After the passing of accounts, and the transaction of some minor business, the Council resolved itself into a T3QMAIJS BOARD. The railway authorities reported the sending on of sixty well grown oaks as asked for. There was no other business of import ance.

COURSING NOTES.

♦— By Dpuble Tura: Conors are busy preparing for tho Pendarves meeting, and m my early walks abroad on the outskirts of the town, I have occasion to note what is being done Mr )anwa Wilt on h,*e two good looking dogs m Darkey and Snider, snd they a>e admirably fib. It is more than f robab!e that one or other of tboro in*y run into money at the fixture. Mr William Patching's fine looking b'nek puppy is f uli of promise, and Mr Gr.ifiVs Searchlight, though looking exceptionally well, is just a litilo on the big side A dog that takes my farcy much is Mr W. Kidd's Brindlo, and it is m creditable coursing condition. Messrs Spring and Thompson have their old dogs Spring ar.d Metzj m the pink of preparednese, and both owners are m high hope, i }>d not without reason. Mr J. Dineen's black and white slub The Podger, has developed a little more adipose tissue than I care for, but other wise looks well. Mr M. JCane has a good lo< king white dog that greatly takes my fancy, and if he belie not his Joe ks he should have a Fab turn of speed. Mr Hanrahan's Au Revoir would be all the better for a little more work. Mr J. Miiller's The Bird, has been handed over for training to Mr Alexander, and doubt less the veteran's high training reputation will be done justice to by The Bird's performances. Mr F. Henry has an aristocratic looking slut m work, but she ia not m good condition. Mr Shearman is training an attractively furnished black dog, looking as tough as nails. Mr M. Healy's white dog bears all the evidence of being a flyer, bailt aa neat a3 a yacht, and should be able to turn on a plate. Mr EenTs two dogs would be all the better for a little more work. He would be a grand prophet who could "pick it" out of the string of dogs now at work, bub if I may b» allowed, though with fear and trembling, to express my opinion, I would say that the winner should come oat from among the following :— Darky^ Search light, Snider, Spring, Menzo, and Kane'a white dog, and Healy's dog. " Mr Avthony Tree's strain baa been BhoWing up well lately. Deceit and FasteV and "s*Btc-j\ bred by him from Yoikshire Lass, took first and second money m the Forbury Cap, at J3anedin j and Lock's AH, from the came dam, won the Auck land Challenge Cur. Lucks AH lefb the h' me kennel a few week's previous bo the meeting — having been sold to a northern buyer at a handsome figure. I hear they are all three m for the Waterloo Cop. Good lack to them.
