(Bafcre MrC. fi. Wr»y, S.M ) Ey Laws —John Wilson was finc-d c"a n-i costs for lidiug a bicycle after dark wi:!.<•'.!■ a light.—H. Stephonspti, jur , charged wj th a similar breach of the by-laws, said his light hud gone out half n minute before ho met the ranger. He was given the benefit of the doubt. Railway Trespass -William Kllery was charged with trespassing on the railway line at Va'etta or; October 10, l>y driving a* dray Bcross at a place other ihana proper croks iDg. Tho case having been proved, a tine of li, witi) 14 6 i coMp, was ii ; fl cted. Allegfd Assault —P. D, lan, who was defended by Mr Purnell, waa charged with having, on the night of October 7, entered the house of John Murphy at Dot ie, and vvi* h having taken comp ainant by the throat as he lay m bed aud tried to choke him. Murphy, however, got the beßtof Dolan, and drove him off Murphy said he had a few drinka m Rakaia that evening The case was called on at JUkaia, but he objected, and preferred to have ib heard before His Worship m Ashburton. It waa not true that he had assaulted Dolan two years ago, but Dolan had assaulted him.—Philip Dolan said he lived with his mother and sister at Doric. Murphy waa his stepfather and had lived with them several yeara, but had left them a good while, H« was a man of violent temper and had often assaulted (witness). On the night m question witness visited Rakaia with his sister to attend tho Ca'holic niisßion. S»w Murphy after the meeting. Got home with his sister, fad and turned out tha horse, had tea, and went to bed Never left the house ng^jn lhat night. Had attended the Courthouse, Ra'^sia, to answer the charge, but Murphy did not appear. —Mary Ann Dolin, sister of the pre vious witness, gave corroborative evidence. Catherine Murphy, wife of conp'ainant, said her son and daughter reached home from ihe miisi n service m Bakaia at about five minutes to eleven, and after attending to the horse and partaking of tea retired to bed. Was positive her son did not again leave the houae that night. There was no reason for the assault. After hearing the evidence, his Worship said the charge was a most extraordinary and improbable one, and would be dismissed with costs 28 u

The fi st arrival m Ashburton was Saver (Waimate, 65mir>). who got to the Com meroial Hotel at 10.45 and left at 10 51. The second wag Brain (Wahnate, 70inin); M tcalfe (Oeraldine, 47mio), arrived 10.47^, lfcfb 1Q.51£ ; Park (Houlh Canterbury, 4U mm), arrived at 10 50, If ft at 10 52 ; Conneli (Temuk.i, 55min), was fifih, (eft at 11.7. G i-Tenwood (Christchurch, 35 nin), and Grant (Kaiapoi, 35tnin), were together, and then came Davidson ( Vshburton, 18rnin), and Kirkwood (WaDganui, 18mii). Some of the long start men came dr> pping m before the I backmarkers put mon appearance. Calder (-cr) and Bennett (ISmir.) arrived together at 11 17, and left at 11 21£. A number of othern oune to grief between Timaru and ABhburton, including A.

The two Liter with Jackßon (Kaling), come on together after repairing damages, ani stopped afc | Ashburton. Sargisson arrived shortly after j DavidsoD, but did not go any further. It would uppear that the scratch men had little chance, those having the best prospect of winning being Davidson, Kirkwood, and Metcalfe, with a char.co for Henwood and Grant.

Tlio Tirr.aru Show \vns he'd m Tucs lay and \Vei'n::sii-.y, and waa a pronounced buc ce?s m evrry v.'.>y, fpfcially iv 1 lie attend ance on 'iuostlity.' Oe f.f the featuns of the Hi vv was the large EUinbrr of exhibits of Block from Asl.birtcn, whi'e a goodly number of our tt:ek connoisseurs nc eel as JMriges; Mr FT. Ford, Tinwald, judged m merino thiep ; Mr John Bonifant, Wdkanui, m iong-woo's ; and Mr T. E. Upton m Bhropihi!e<\ In Thoroughbred Horses, Me.^rs M. Stilt and H. T. Winter n-ere the judges. j Bckli iuquali'y and numbers cattle were j much belter rcpresmted than ia eomo pre vious years, fc'ho! thorns wore the chief feature, and some well bred animals were senb forward. J- Rtringfellow's only ex hibit? Prince Royal, a well-made, well grown bull, waa first m his clas>B, and also champion. The other prijj'J takers were $>. Langdon, Thos. Mitchell, A. F. Bennett, J. Smith, J Hedley, G. Rutherford, and j J. Austin. W. J. Silcock was the principal prfz^ taker m the Alderney classes, and I W. J. Jenkins and R Browointhe Ayrshire classes. A few good fat cattla were shown. The show of horses equalled that of sheep aa the most popular feature. The draughts were a very fine lob, particularly the work ing Beotion, and the judges had a difficult task. Mr T. Taylor and Mr J. Small, both of Ashburton, tied with 41 points each, and j it can truly be said that their horses were a grand lot. The thoroughbreds were poor bofeh m numbers and quality, but hackneys and carriage horses were a sterling lot ali through. The przsa were well distributed. From a popular point of view the dogcart and saddle horses created most interest. The banters'display waa of a high class, and such a high standard of jumping was shown as to arouse great enthusiasm. In dogs, J Crawford's Nap waa adjudged the besb of three smooth-haired collies, E J Fraser's Fame being second* The competi tion m the rough-coated class was more, keen, and resulted m Donald Grant's Toss being placed first, aei G ghaw'e Yarra second, Mr W J Silcock, who this year, for the first time, is exhibiting outside the Ashbur* ton districts sent m some particularly well bred Berkshires, and swept the Board of al! the chief prices, The other exhibitors were W T Smith and Mrs R Dawe. The produce shed was not so well fi led as one could wish to see, neither do (he exhibits oill for any special mention. There was a fairly good display of butter, and some well cured hams and bacon. A few bags of grain and eeeda were shown, also a, few roots. There was an extensive and excellent dis play of highly-finished farm implements and machinery of all descriptions. There were a few good specimens of carriage-builders' work, by local manufacturers, aa well as some locally and well-made farm imp'e menta. The cheep were a good Bhow all found, but there waa nothing shown from bur d'istriot exc:-pb Mr Stringfellow'a inbred halfbred representatives which were first m a pen of matured rams, first m a pen of five under eighteen months, and first and eecond m five young ewes.

The rise m the price of wool and the firm state of the London market will mean in creasing returns of many thousands of pounds for the farmers of Canterbury alone this year. Aa a natural consequence, following the advanced cost of the raw material, alt the principal manufacturers of woollen good I have recently iesusd revised price lists show ino a coDsiderabi, c rise m the prices of all Tweeds, Coatings, Vicugnas, &o. Messes Cbaighkap & Bebbtman of this town, how ever with their usual foresight, took time by the forelock, and cabled Home direct early m Mny for a large shipirent of the moat fashionable Suitings for the approaching Spring season. They also secured large parcels from the principal ]?t™ LGaiand mills just before the rise, and will give their customers the full benefit of their timoly eowtraots. MELiSRb OraigmKAd and Behhy- J4AN invite an early inspection of their New GrQoda. Their leading line of Men's Suits to measure for £'5 10b, made up m their well known style and fit, should convince the most sceptical of their sterling values
