Queensland's Attitude.

Sydney, October 18

Sir Hugh Nelson, Premier of Queens-i land, on his way through to Brisbane after his trip Hom^, told an inter viewer that his colony is likely to be divided into three electorates to return delegates to the Federal Convention. The Senate, he said, must be a real live branch of the Legislature. The firpt Bill, in 18$1, provided for a fairly good Senate, but the later Con vention weakened it, He does not be lieve in getting rid of the financial question by referring it to th« Federal Parliament. He also thinks the question of where the capital shall be should be determined by the Oonven- j tion.

Miscellaneous Items

Thfi sum of £1600, eaih fora 40-acre lection wa» recant! y refused at Grey town. The •helling »e»son afc Thursday Island has been the moat profitable for many yewe. Wool is coming to band alowly at Port Adelaide, and the prospects of the season so far ace disappointing. There are a great; number of unemployed in the Reef ton district aft the present time. The average yield of gold per ton of ore treated in West Australia during 1896 was loz lOdwt 14gr. . A gentleman was accidentally pulled into Wellington Harbour by his dog the other Say. He lost a gold watch and chain, but it was recovered by a diver. A license to shoofc aative game is at pro tect not required in New Zealand, but a great many people who identify themselves with acclimitia&tion matters believe that were » restriction imposed in this respect a great deal of good would be attained. The fly peat, which has been so destructive lately amongst the sheep in some of the country districts of New South Wales, has been found to be worst on deserted camp places where the nettles and thistles are numerous. The export of horses from the Clarence, New South Wales, has lately been so great, that horse-breeding, which was suspended some years ftgo, ia being again entered upon. A settler in the>Manawatu district, who has kept a most careful account of the earn ings of his farm, informs a Southern paper that the returns for fifteen years give an average of 6£ per cent, upon the capital employed. A somewhat peculiar application came before the Wellington L»cd Boafd last week. Mr T. MoFadgen applied to be allowed to surrender his interest in section 34, Rakau tora Village Settlement, a large portion of the land having been washed away by fluods. The ranger corroborated this state meat, and it was resolved to accept the surrender and re-offer the balance of the section, after a survey, for sale.

THE PUREBRED CLYDESDALE STALLION KING OF QUALITY Will Stand at Owner's Farm, Willowby, and travel Longbeach, Wakanui, Westerfield and Aahburton Forks Districts. Will be at Newman's Stables every SATURDAY. KING OF QUALITY is a dapple bay, rising five years old, bred by Mr R. Gawn, North Taieri. He is a colb of great substance and power, with many points to recommend him to a .breeder, has splendid feet and pasterns, also great bone, clean and flowing with nice silky hair—the true badge of a well bred Clydesdale. He is a prime mover, has good temper, and sound con stitution. His sire is Lion King, by British Lion, imported by Mr Hugh Rae, from Scotland, by Argyle (2567 vol. vi.), dam Darling by Prince of Wales, (673, vol. i), grand dam Maggie, by Lockend Champion (448, vol. i). Lion King was first at Dunedin Show as a three-year-old, first at Dunedin in 1894 and 1895, for horse with three of his progeny. Lion King's dam Scotch Annie (imported frem Scotland; 343, N.Z.5.8.) was a mare belonging to an exceedingly favorable strain of blood. She was shown in New Zealand four times, gaining first and champion upon each occasion. Her sire was Ivanhoe 2nd (299, 5.C.5.8.); grand sire Ivanhoe Ist (imported ; 113, N.Z.5.8.) He was got by the great Sir Walter Scott, whose breeding needs no comment. Lion King's sire, British Lion, is so favorably known as to need no comment. He was considered by competent judges to be one of the best horses ever landed in New Zealand. King of (Quality's dam, Queen of Quality, (608, N Z. 5.8.) show yard career is so weli and favorably known to breeders, that it is needless to go into details; suffice it to say, she has taken 14 first prizes and seven champions; among the others she was champion mare at the Exhibition Show, Dunedin. This career has stamped her as a mare of unusual excellence; her sire is the far-famed Lord Salisbury, who retired from the show ring an unbeaten horse. Queen of Quality's dam Jess, by Ivanhoe (imp.; 113, 5.8.) King of Quality as a yearling gained first j prise at Taieri Show, and second at Dunedin, j and as a 'three-year-old first at Taieri and second at Dunedin. It will be seen from the above that King of Quality is descended from the purest strains of prize-taking Clydesdale blood, and cannot fail to make a name for himself as a eire.
