ORIUIiUY. . — ~« — .« — William fleury Ma guinness. After an illness extending over nine days, another old settler m the person of William Henry Maguinness, the well known Lynd- hurst farmer, has been oalled to his last account. Deceased had been suffering from Bright'a disease, and oven to the last day there was some ray of hope, but yesterday afternoon he {.Tudually bank, and passed away, Rev Jchn Holland being wi> h him m his last moment Mr Magumne;a' burly form has been familiar m the Ashburton district for sixteen years, having farmed his Lyndhurat property for that period. He was a genial happy hearted farmer, was well liked everywhere, and his death will be un- expected news to many, as ■, he was only about fifty-two years of age, aud his aged father is still alive. Mr Maguinnees was a native of Armagh County, Ireland, and was a prominent Orangeman, as will be seen by the Lodges' fuueral advertisements elsewhere. The funeral will take place on Monday at 1 p.m., and the place of interments ii the Methven cemetery. ACCLIMATISATION SOCIETY. __ « Annual Meeting. The annual meeting of the Ashburton Ac* olimatisation Bociety was held last evening m Devane's Hotol, and was fairly well at- tended. Mr Cambridge was Chairman. ANNUAL BFPORT. The annual report of the Committee was submitted. After dealing with the Society's satisfactory finance, the balance sheet having a ! ready been published, it went on to Bay that the fencing of the Rangitata reserve had proved of great value to anglers visiting that river, and as it had been erected m a substantial manner it was likely to remain m good order for come years. The Society had dispensed with paid rangers, and had now a nnmber of rangers on the lock oat for breaches of the law. Those men wou'd be paid by results — a sum equal to the, fine in- flicted, but not to ezoeed £3. There had been better fishing on the river this year than of late years and fewer blank days had been recorded. In the matter of legislation there were likely to be three Bills "before next parliament — 'Jhe Gun License Bill, The Animals Protection Bill, and The Fisheries Conservation Act, 1384, Amend- ment Bill— and the report detailed fully the penal provisions of these. Of licenses of kinds there i>ad been an increase on previous year, 140 beicg the numbpr 1896-97 and 151 the figures m 1897 8 The free licenses given to the schools were calculated to inorease the number of anglers, and eight; girls had taken licenses this year. Poaching had been less m evidence during the year, but shags were a til. too numerous, and one killed was found to havß a trout sixteen inches long iv its paunch. The report was adopted. ELECTION OF CFFICEBS. After some minor business arising out of the report had been trinsßC.ed, the follow- ing officers were elected for the year : — President— Mr GA. M. Buckley. Vice-presi- dents—Messrs E. G. Wright and J. C. '.Vufcon, and Major Sreward, M.H.R s, and Mr John S'*ijkholn>e. Treasurer — Mr £*« fc£. Cox- Sscret&rv— Mr At H. Sbnry. Auditor— Mr A. H~ Field. Commit cc— Messrs Cambridge, Upton, Bird, Rollitt, and Denshire.
