(We do not hold ourselves responsible for tbi opinions expressed by our correspondents) THE DOMAIN CYCLING TRACK. TO SHE EDITOR. Fir,— Doubtless you, with many others, remember the accidents that occurred on the bioycle track on last St. Patrick's Day, through the defective banking at the north west corner, and the Board's attention having been called to them a sort of promise was made that the defect would be remedied during the winter. Now, sir, I think it is really time the Board made a commencement with the work, as m another month or two, when the cycling season starts, there will be no chance of carrying it out. If a beginning is made at onoe, and the work is carried out m a thoroughly workmanlike manner, the track will be well set before the season begins, and we shall then have a traok that will compare favourably with any other m the colony, and also prevent a repetition of the accidents which occurred on last St. Patrick's Day. Thanking you m antici pation, — I am, etc., Interested Ctclist.

WATERTON.

From Our Own Correspondent For aome considerable time it has been known that Mr and Mrs Standieh and family were contemplating leaving the district, m which they had lived and labored for bo many years. During their extended sojourn they have been ever ready to give their heartießt support to everything that has tended to the welfare of the district m which they resided. In church work Mrs Btandish has been particularly helpful, having acted aa organist m the Waterton church almost since its inception m the diabricb, while Miss Standieh has been an able assistant m the local Sunday School. In consideration of these facts, the pari shioners of the church of St Philip and 8t Jamea determined not to allow them to leave the district without some token of their appreciation of the Bervice they had rendered to the church duriug co many years. Accordingly, with this object m view, a social was held m the Library Hall on Thursday evening, at which Mr and Mrs StaDdish and family were invited guests. The Rev- J. Blackburne, vicar of the parish, presided, and there wax a large attendance of friends and well wishers. He briefly stated the object of the meeting, and pro ceeded with the programme, which was an excellent one m every way. The various item 3 were given m a very finished style, and met with the heartiest applause from the audience. During the evening the Rev J. Blackburne took occasion, on behalf of the parishioners of the Waterton district!, to present Mrs Standish with a very handsome silver tea service, suitably inscribed, as a token ot the esteem m which she was held by her co-workers, and the appreciatiom of the very valuable services she had so willingly rendered the church m the capacity of organist. In making the presentation, Mr Blackburn spoke m a very eulogistic manner of the willingness Mr Standish and family had always shown m helping forward matters m connection with the work of the Church. He regretted that they were leaving the district, but wished them much happiness m their new home. Mr Standish feelingly replied on behalf of Mrs Standish. He assured those present that it gave them great pleasure to be pre sent at the meeting, and to learn that they were so rich m friends. They would value the present Mrs Stanish had just received very highly indeed, more especially for the happy associations with which it was sur rounded. They were leaving for Ashburton, but he would assure them that any of their old friends who wished to call and see them m their new home would receive a hearty welcome. He again thanked them for their very valuable present. During the evening copious refreshments were handed round, at which time the present was also handed round for inspeotion. The following con- j tributed to the evening's programme :— Mr Bryant King aud Miss Cullen, pianoforte duet ; Bongß by Mrs Rich and Mrs Black burn, and Miss Watson, Messrs Jamießon (encore), Hutton (encore), Dobson (encore), King (encore), and a mandolin solo by Mr J. Bond. Mrs Grigg and Mr Bryant King acted as accompanists. A hearty vote of thanks having been accorded to the singerß, a very enjoyable evening was brought to a close by the ainging of the National Anthem. Three cheers were also given for Mr and Mrs Staudiah. _______ __

Mr Hooley, under examination, deposed that his partner, Rucker, received £478,234 between September 1895 and December 1896, though he put only £800 cash into the business, The gross profifs on tho Dunlop tyre deal were £1,700,000 ; Hooley's share was £200,000. It cost, he said, £100,000 to obtain the names on the front of the prospectus. Earl Delawarr received £50,000, handing the Earl of Albemarle £12,000. The Duke of Somerset got nothing. He had a list as long as his arm of newspapers which had received money for Press booms. He mentioned the names of the Pall Mall Gazette and the Financial Post. He said he had mislaid the list. He paid the Financial Post £1500 for the privilege of himself writing one article. He paid Broadley £10,000 for manag ing the Press. He admitted a heavy payment for remarks m connection with share transactions, but denied that it was designed to keep the Financial News friendly. Press calls for shares cost the company £63,000. Earl Delawarr reoeived £11,300 for joining the French Dunlop Pneumatic Company, and persuading the Karl of Albemarle to join.
