The Otago Daily Times ia perhaps the moat uncompromising opponent that prohibition ban A WARNING throughout the whole TO of New Zealand, but 11 THE TRADE." m its Thursday's issue it concludes a well written article Against " no license " m the following words: ~ With the result of the local option poll before us at that time (1894) we ex pressed the conviction that nothing short of strictly law-abiding conduct m the future would save the trade ( from ultimate destruction, For three years or so the provisions of ths law were observed m the spirit as well as m the letter, but it is undeniable that for the past couple of years the law has by many publicans been more honoured m the breach than m the observance. We have never hesitated to express the opinion that the demands of the extreme prohibitionists for the suppression of the traffic are utterly preposterous and irreconcilable with the dictates of equity and common sense. We cannot, however, regard with patience the fact that the licens ing laws are being flagrantly broken, and we cannot shut our eyes to the consideration that the hotelkeepers who do not observe the law are supplying the opponents of the trade with weapons that are capable of very effective employment m a crusade m favor of no license. Many of the publicans are by their conduct going the right way to arouse the public conscience against the continuance of the traffic. If the tide of public opinion which appears to bo setting m against the trade ia to be stemmed, it is quite imperative that these hotelkeepers should amend their ways, and amend them speedily. The Licensed Victual lers' Association should, m the interests of its members, tee to it that this amendment is made. The maintenance of lawless conduct on the part of licensees is fraught with great danger to the trade.

* # *Obt the first p*ge to-day will be found commercial news, and on the fourth page the continuation of the story " Nada, the Lily." The Nor-Westbr.—JudgiDg by the quantity of dirtard grit ia tie air yester day afternoon, it is hardly likely that the newly sown paddocks can have escaped damage. Cycling.—Mr A. Huston, one of the " Warerlay " riders, won the Wheel Race at the ka^or Day sports at Dunedin yester day. An Old Public Servant.—A Welling ton telegram says ;-r-Ii the Police Provident Bill becomes law, Inspector Pender will probably retire. He is now over seventy, and besides nerving m the Royal Irish Con stabulary, m the Crimean campaign, and m Australia, he has been thirty-seven years m the police force of New Zaalan-1. Miss Fires.—Whether from a weak main spring m the rifls or faalLy ammunition, it is a fact that three out of seven cartridge?, 1 taken from a packet of ten, missed firo on the Ashburton r fie range on Wednesday afternoon. Hardly good enough for the Transvaal. | Tun Chribtchurcu Mayorai/ty*—ln | certain quarters m Chriatchurch it was j desired that, for the jubilee year of ihe city, a native born Mayor should hold office, and Mr W. Rceoe, a prominent city merchant, waa asked to contest the seat. A telegram received last night tells us Mr Recce has consented to bs nominated. The Amateur Athletic Team—The Amateur Athletio Association is advised that Brownlee cannot get leave of absence for the athletic championships at Brisbane, MaHhus (South Canterbury), and probably MoAffir, with Smith, Tv Paa, and Madill, will comprise the team, which will probably leave Auckland for Sydney towards the end of October. —Preß9 Association telegram Man v. Horse.—ln view of the Transvaal trouble, anything military is quite m order just now. Says the latest London Evening News :—On the march infantry endure the fatigue much better than cavalry, and m a long distance the foot soldiers outmarch the horsemen. Those who doubt this statement should remember that a horee m army service carries about 2701 b weight, while the soldier carries only his gun and from 201 h to 401 b. Notwithstanding the fact that a ten minutes' halb is made m every hour for stragglers 'to catch up, cavalry straggle to the rear more than infantry do, and the care of a horse on a long march is a serious matter. The horses are picked animals, bat even the best horse is liable to fall lame from the loss of a shoe, or a stone m his hoof, or frpm some other cause which at first may be entireiy wperceiyed by the rider." An Une^pectbi? Find.^A B.ingular story is related by the West Coast 7imis concern ing a bank deposit m a West Coast Towq. Many years »go an old miner died, worth many thousands, making hjs banker hjs ; executor. This gentleman collected all the assets of which he could find a trace, and duly applied them m terms of the will. A few days sgo, more than a deoade having passed, he saw the name of his old friend figuring m the list of unclaimed balances of another bank to the amount of something like £3000. Knowing, as he thought, all his friend's affairs intimately, he had never inquired whether he had any money de posited m the neighbouring bank, and so the 4sQfl# had auietly rested. On seeing the name m the »n.olaiig|ed list he promptly drew a cheque for the aiso#nt. '"but the bank demurred, and will probably "require the authority of the oourb before paying the money over. Gaol Routine.-—Some odd effects of SuD%y upon gaol routine are described m Monday^ Qttigq £>aily Times :—" An ex footballer who on Friday was sentenced to three d»ys' imprisonment for using <Jbs.<jene language was rerirrested on a similar charge on Saturday night. At <*rsb aighb it mjght appear strange that a man who received a three days' sentenoe should be m a position to b|? re-arrested within 36 hours of the time the seatsngft waa pronounced, but ib is never theless true. Id appears fchafj under the prison regulations a man's segteiiue is recorded by dates and not necessarily by hours, and being sentenced on the sth he would be entitled to be discharged on the Bth. Tha Bth being Sunday the regulations further provide for his discharge on Satur day at 1 p.m. Whether the regulation was framed with a Saturday half-holiday m view is not certain. Further, if a man reoeives a seaten^e of 24 hours' imprisonment at 11 oVock on' Saturday morning, under the regulations he ia entitleiTto hifl Ij&erty two hours later. ft ia llan^eroni to HT«>g-I«ct » Colrt Pneumonia is one of the most dangerous and fatal diseases.

CYCLING REFORM.

TO THE EDITOR. Slß,—* 1 Cyclist," whose letter you pub lished yesterday is quite right, it ia high time something was dona to pub down the evil practices that have crept into one of the pleasanteab pastimes we have, and to raise the standard of the Bporfc. If cyclists and cycling clubs do not move soon m the direction indicated, the public will cease to take: interesb m their race meetings, and surely it is worth doing' something to pre vent that. "Cyclist" might have given in stances showing tho need for reform at your own doors, m more than one direction. But probably the most objectionable feature noticeable is the tendency Borne riders have (fortunately they are only a few) to ride brooked. AH sorts of tactics that would not for piie moment be tolerated on the tuif are resorted to by men of this class' I 'have seen three or four instances within tbe past twelve months of a " push" blocking one or more ridera ta prevent their getting out of the ruck. In fact I noticed (and so did a good many more) an instance of wilfully attempting to block a rider at the Ariel Club's meeting last week. At anyrate a well-know a sporting man remarked to me that a jockey club would be sura to "put up " a juckey so acting, and inflict a heavy penalty. This should have been noticed by the Club, and untillall the cycling clubs m the colony are aa strict m enforcing their rules as the'jockey' blubej shall never sco satisfactory cycle racing,—-1 am, etnf, Te&telleb,

The Withdrawal of Troops Demanded.

Uuited* Proas As-soeiafcion—-"By Rlootric Telegraph—Copyright Pretoria, October 10 The despatch of Mr Reitz on September 26 is regarded as a belated reply to the British despatch of May 10 It de?cribbs the grievances of the TJitlanders as chimerical and Bays that Great Britain is not entitled to take notice of the TJitlanders' petition to the Queen, The complainants should have approached the Transvaal Govern ment, which would have remedied the grievances and restored perfect har mony, It is feared the Boers intend to shoot Mr Robertson, a friend of Oecil Rhodes, who was arrested on a charge of recruiting on behalf of the British. Mr Robertson asserts he was merely seeking assistance to remove women and children from the Rand, and that his action was misunderstood. Mr Reitz telegraphing to Sir Alfred Milner on the 9th said the British troops on the frontier menaced the independence of the Transvaal, and m order to end the intolerable condition requested assurances that all differences should be submitted to arbitration, the instant withdrawal of all troops from the borders, and the removal i from South Africa of all reinforce i ments sent since June 1, also to stop the landing of troops at present afloat, the Republic guaranteeing not to at tack during the negotiations, and withdrawing the burghers from the frontier. If an affirmative answer were not received by five o'clock on Wednesday after noon the Republic would regard the British action as a declaration of war, and would similarly treat any movement of British troops nearer to the Transvaal frontier within the time specified: The despatch claims that the franchise was exclusively agues tion for the Boers to determine. [Five o'clock on Wednesday (yesterday) afternoon at Pretoria would be about 2.35 a.m. to-day m Christohurch. As it is highly improbable that the British Government would even discuss the Boer demands m the face of all that has happened, war may now be said to exist between England and the Transvaal] London, October 11 Baron James, of Hereford, speaking at Aberdeen, predicted a short war, and m the hour of victory Government would show justice to the defeated by moderating the effects of victory on them. The Cabinet meets on Friday. The newspapers consider the tone of the ultimatum grotesquely arrogant and defiant, and that the Government will simply acknowledge its receipt, and express regret for the serious step the Transvaal has taken. The War Office has ordered largil quantities of New Zealand oats and compressed forage. There are 16,000 regular troops and 2000 volunteers m Natal, and no anxiety is felt there as to the safely of tl c colony. The New South Wales Lancers wrre accorded an enthusiastic send-off at Aldershot. Major General Trotter, commanding the Homedistric', and Colonel Herbert, of the Grenadier Guards, meb the squadron at Waterloo statiou, and marched afoot with them The streets were as crowded as on Lord Mayor's day, and trfiffic was stopped. 'l h« Lord Mayor received the troops at the Mansion House. In a speech ho commended their heroic determina tion to support the Empire. The crowds were wildly enthusiastic, and sang the National Anthem, Rule Britannia, and The Soldiers of the Queen. Loids Hampden and Oarrington took farewell of the contingent at Fenchurch street station, The Daily Chronicle states that twenty-six refused to volunteer. Sir Julian Salamons, Agent-General for New South Wales, when interviewed, said the statement was absolutely false. All were burning to go.

WESLEY SUNDAY SCHOOL ANNIVERSARY.

The staff of the Hiring Square Sunday School is to be congratulated on the success which has attended their anniversary cele bration, the tea and concert connected with which took place on Wednesday evening. It is questionable whether the attendance ab the tea meeting waa commensurate with the jime and labor involved m preparing for the occasion, but probably the disagreeable nor' wester which blew bo fiercely during the afternoon deterred many people from a dis tance from being present. There was a lavish display of spring flowers and choice plants on the tables, which were laid m the church, and the effect was pretty m the extreme. The concert commenced at about eight o'clock, and the various pieces were contributed m a manner which unbiassed listeners reckoned would bear favorable comparison with schools of maturer years and greater pretensions. The items " Little feet are passing," and " Hail lovely spring " were rendered with excellent regard to time, while "Chime on, sweet bells," "We are marching on," and "See Israel's genUe Shepherd," wtnt with a swing most inspirit ing. Two marches, played by a well balanced orchestra were much appreciated) but an innovation like this, on such an occasion, will need careful guarding, other wise, if multiplied, the designation of "children's concert" might need amending- The proceedings were opened with prayer by R9V.,R. J. Murray, a former worker m the church and school, who was paying &, flying visit to Ashburfcon. An address was givea by Rev. R, Taylor, who was m the chair, and who spoke at length on the importanoa of Bunday School work under the bo*de of the seed, the sower, and the soil. Mr Taylor prefaced his speech with a reference to the Convention of Sunday schoolteachers, which took place m London last year, at which there were representatives from all parts of the world. These delegates repre sented over two million teachers, and nearly twenty-three million scholars. The other speaker waa Rev. G. B. loglis, who, by rfquest, took for. his subject— "The influence of Sunday Schools on character." In answering tho question, what is the use of Sunday schcolp, he agreed that the institution which had tow existed for over one hundred years, could bo tested !.-y its reaiils, The aim waa to instruct the young m a knowledge of tho Bible, acd to seek their conversi- n. The testimony of men m all grades of society was identic*! that, id most cases, their first religious impressions were received m the ."unduy school. Some of theee men bad nchieyed ominence m tha Echohetio,'political, and commercial worlds. The improseioaa which last longesc are those received m early life, aivl youth h utmost the only season in'which systematic religious inetructioa can bo given. Character is largely formed and moulded m early 1 fa, and as ifc might be assumed the.?) every parent was desirous of their children b ing brought under the best of influences, It w«s to tho interests of the i arents to keep their young people at Sunday school, oud m every way to co-operate with the teachers. Mr Ingli3 spoke further oa the responsibility of parents, the duties of teachers, and gave some practical advice concerning the work which each were engaged m while Bhaping the characters of those placed under their charge and influence. During the evening, Mr J. E. Purchase (secretary) read the report and balance Bheet, both of which showed a moat encouraging state of things. The number of echolars ii slightly m excess of that of last year, the teachers are regular m attendance, and devoted to their work Financially the institution is paying its way, and is gradually increasing the nucleus—formed some time ago—to erect a new infant room.

MAGISTERIAL.

ASHBURTON-THCmSDAY.

(Before Mr C* A. Wray, 8.M.) Cruelty to Animals.—Edward Mahcod pleaded not) guilty to flogging a horse on .Saturday last, m West Street, with undue severity, Mr Cuthbertson defended, and for the police evidence was given by Alfred Harrison, W. W. Smith, and John Heffoid. '1 he two first named thought the horse was cruelly beaten, but Hefford, with forty years' experience of horses,was not prepared to say that the horse was unduly beaten, as he did not see the beginning of the affair, and did not know what the horse was beaten for. If horses were not kept under control they would take the mastership themselves. Con stable Moore said the hair was raised a little' under the forearm. Edwatd Mahood said the horse had a habit of rearing when re quired to back, aud on the day m question il followed Ibis custom ab the railway station goods shed. After a few cuts with the whip the horse quietened down, as he usually did after a thrashing for this fault. The animal was struck seven or eitjht times, and the whip used was the one m Court, which the farmers had refused to buy from him as it was too light for punishment. His Worship said it was difficult to draw the line between what was necessary punishment to cure a horse of a bad habit and actual cruelty. At the same time it was not wise to break m a horse (for that was virtually what M*hood had been doing) m ths view of humane persons. Perhaps a caution would be sufficient to meet this case, and he dis missed Mahood with an advice not to repeat his conduct. - Alleged Assault.—Matthew B. Shaw was charged with having assaulted Sarah Wheeler, boarding house keeper, on October 5. He pleaded not guilty. Mr Cuthbertsori appeared for the defence. Mra Wheeler's evidence was to the effect that Shaw had come into the boarding house on the evening m question the worse for liquor, had taken up his quarters on a chair before the fire, and fallen asleep. As he was not a boarder, and had no business m the house, she asked him to leave. H.e refused, and she said he had no right to come there the worse for liquor, He called her a liar, and she attemptad to take him off the chair. He then struck her m the face, seized her by the throat, and nearly choked her. She called out, and Divid Stott came to. her assistance. Mrs Wheeler's evidence was corroborated by two female witnesses. David Stott said be came at Mrs Wheeler's call, and when he reached the room where she was, Shaw was goirg out. Saw no assault.—M. B. Shaw Raid that some months ago he boarded at the Prince* Albert, when Batto was manager. When he left the boarding house he owed a balanoe, and left a euit of clothes. On the d^y m question he came m the earlier pirt of the day and paid Batts 10a, and was told that he would get his clothes when he came m the evening. When he came back Bitts was away, and he sat down to wait for him, Did not know anything about Mrs Whwltrj
