The Tichborno Case.

I It is stated that Mr Edward PnV ß f. | man, the gentleman wi.o Jms bneu in teresting himself in tfie attempt to prove that the person detained in the Parramatta Lunatic Asylum as Win. Cogswell is the long-lost Sir Roger Hchborne, intends abortly to again move the Courts in the matter. He will then give notice of his intention to proceed with the adjourned application for the release into his custody, as attorney for the Rev E. Williams, of the person of Roger Ohailes Doughty Tichborne, otherwise known as Wra. Oreaswell. Mi Priestman states that all the preliminaries in connection with tho application are almost complete. He has received numerous affidavits other than those already made public in support of his contention, and he hopes that the judge will make the necessary order for two medical men to examine Oresswell for the purpose of ascertaining if the marks which are said to exist on him are identical with the marks which existed on the missing Roger Tichborne,

"TOM COBB."

i A tall house ought to have crowned the | efforts of the Ashburton Football Club last [ night, when the members provided an enter < taiumenfc of a kini to which Ashburton I &l opl? have Dof; be«n of l»te accustomed. t 1 he L ub asked and obtained the aid of the J*entalton Dramasio Club to provide an i entertainment for them on the occasion of I the Foocb*U Club's annual appeal to the public, and the entertainment was given last . evening in the Oddteilowa' Hall. It would [ have been m<.re satisfactory had the enter- Uinment been better a, tended, for the Football Club is deserving of abundant patronage. As it was there were altogether too many empty benches, although the front seats were fairly well filled. The Fendalton Dramatic Club'e contribution consisted of W. H. Gilbert's farcical comedy "TomCobb," bat before it was introduced a shurt concert of five items was given, contributed by the local Orchestral Society, Mr C. Seymour, Messrs Simms and Rayward, and Mrs Mitchell. The comedy is not one likely to commend iruelf to an audience in an inland town. Toe »jthetio cult, the lampooning of which v the whole point of the comedy, is hardly understood among our young people, and the older and mure practical of our settler* have always been too much taken up with the hard business of life to bestow a thought upon it). For those reasons " Patience " and pieces kindred to ifc, do not tak« wall here, and the best recommendation they have is the music incidental to them. <• Patience ' played by amateurs heie was well attended ; but the way for its success had been paved by Mr W. H. Vernon's Company, who played it well some years before in the old I'own Hall. "TomUobb" is not an opera, but a farcical comedy. The performer* were all letter perfect, and said their words fluently enough, but there was a want some where, The people in the back part of the hall had the greatest difficulty in following the words of the ladies, and not seldom the words of the gentlemen were mused. That being so, it is easy to understand why not a few who left after the first act did not re turn. It was in the second act, however, that things were enlivened a lit le, when the marrow of the plot was reached, and it began to make itself apparent to the audience. But the act was well advanced before the second and back seats began to " get the hang "of the story. Once they did so, they wore not slow in giving ap plause where it was deserved. As the per formance was an amateur one, ife would be invidious to seleot any performer for special mention, let it suffice to say that each did his or her best, and achieved a f<tir measure of success.

BOOTH AND MACDONALD'S SPADING HARROW.

Trial At Netherby.

Mr John Taylor, agricultural implement agent, held a trial of the Carlyle spading harrow on the farm of Mr James Brown* Netherby, yesterday afternoon. The season has been a very trying one to farmers in the Wctkanui whose soils partake at all of a clayey nature. Until the recent showers there has been hardly any rain worth the name for thirteen months. The long drought, and the very open winter has left the Ltcd in anything but a friable condition, in l the raduock choaen for the trial of the spading harrow offered onetf the very haidest testH po^-ille of the quality of the implement, Une land had been ploughed and harrowed, but it was in far too lumpy a, state for any practical good to be done with ifc. Mr ilrown decided to give the Uarlyle spading harrow a trial, and ar ranged with Mr layior for the purpose. Several of the neighboring farmers were present, and closely witched (he work. A stroDg team of four horses formed the yok ing, aud seemed quite equal to the work they were asked to do. The harrow waa put into the land, and a tew revolutions of (he spades showed that for the special work required of it, that of pulverising hard soil, it was admirably adapted. The harrow ia built on a framewo.k similar in construction to that of the familiar disc harrow, bub the material difference iv this instance consists ia the fact that w.hile the discs of the disc harrow are complete circles as their name implies, the equivalent spades on the Carlyle harrow are eighteen inches long by seven inches broad. The spades are dißhed much as the discs are, and are set at three inches distance apart, each at a different inclination from its neighbor. Between the spades are placed upright rods of iron. Like the disc harrow, the spader is in two gangs, which can be sat to run on a straight course, or can be inclined to almost any angle. The hard earth is broken up, and forced between the spades and rods, with the result that the clods am disintegrated to a very great ex tent. The machine that will reduce land to the consistency of sugar after such a season as we have passed through has yet to be in vented, but it must be said for the Carlyle that it pulverises very well indeed. Mr Brows, who cf course was more interested in that particular paddock than any one else, vxprossed his opinion of the machine in hearty terms. He said it was the prince of pulverisers, and the best machine of the kind he had ever tried. Nor did he nay this without having triod others on the same paddock aud under the same con ditions. It was the failu eof those to pro duce the result wanted that had induced him to give a trial to this machine, a trial that had been very satisfactory indeed. The machine used was an Bft one, but the implement is also made tt> cover ten feet. The cost of such a spader as that in use at yesterday's trial is £16 10a.
