tVvirt: to 3 feet wide and I feet high, and th<* fi-wr of the race is three feet bslow he river at its lowest summer level, it follows that the culvert by lifting ;h- alu'co may be filled full. Tbe gradient of th* r,ce is 1 in 900, whioh by calculation mok«» the discharging capacity of the culvert *qis»l 'o 24 aubio feet a second, or nearly 9000 gallons a minute. The culvert is *aee^ded y the open race, which has a bottom width ef 6 feet, and this at a gradient of 1 in 900, running 181n. deep will deliver mar© than the Oulvert, but reckoning on slips and some amount of sediment and obstruction in the race, the discharge of the race will abrut l'9«**' that of the culvert, aad this quantity of 9000 gallons a minute is greatly in excess of the rrquireimnts of tho district as catenated by ynur Ergiueer, Mr Baxter. The onivert ia shown as having no bottom. and this is because ifc i* found that the sand flowing over tho bottom rapidly cuts the concrete through, however thick it may be. The bottom, therefore, should be paved wi^h boulders tightly pecked in between the con crete ski* walk. The walls of the oulverfc ihoo'd be founded say nine inches below the § tor, and if frames are placed the concrete aan be built between them con tinuously without joint and without pumping out the water in the bottom ; the concrete should have a iitrle extra cement, and be lowered gently through the water in shoots of tin or wood, the greatest care being taken nob to splash tbe concrete about in the water, nor to allo#any water to set into the shoot. When the coeorete of the culvert is set hard, tbe raoe over it should be refilled, care being taken to pack tbe sides of the culvert firmly, so as to prevent any unequal pressure. The concrete cross wall is to keep the filling materia! out of the raoe, and to prevent the leakage of high Goods Into the raoe through the loose filling. The nest thing to consider is how to protect the race from slips, and on tbe plan 1 have shown a culvert which is adapted for very bad Blips, this culvert \n to have side walls of boulders, and the teptobo covered with silver pine , sleepers, whioh is the cheapest and most durable timber to be got. Blips may then be allowed *o fall and bury the culvert without obstructing the race. I also show a retaining wall of dry boulders to be built m high as the side of the cutting on tbe mpper side, whioh intercepting the 1£ to 1 elope of the terrace will prevent slipping of the slopes. The retaining wall is to be preferred tin the culvert for long lengths, as it leaves tho race opeo, and enables men to me and remove obstructions I think tbe above explains every thing whioh Is required to reinstate this race to its full use ; and I submit my estimates of cost. Owing to the extent and Reourity of tho repairs designed, and which I consider necessary for complete security against the Hoods of the future, the estimated cost is perhap? much In excass of what was expected, and the only way that I know of to bring down the estimate is to design lighter work*, and incur again some of the risks which have already been experienced, and on page 8,1 have given a curtailed estimate, wh'ch may be more within the available means, bub the work on it certainly doet not give complete security against the accidents that maybe expected from floods. This curtailed estimate involves making the concrete culvert only h»lf the length, leaving out ail the pitching of the made tip filling, leaving out all tbe groins in she river, and thus taking the chancs of the banks of the race being out into by floods, tad only protecting the race afc the worst slip*, leaving 60 chains of slipping ground to slip into the raoe, and bo cleared out by shovels. Of course in the future it is possible to carry out little by little the complete works, shown on my plan, and given in the estimate at £3756, but by disregarding the risks of floods, and incurring only the coat of lesser works to the coat of tho curtailed estimate of £1964. it may be posslbltfto go on with the race cntil some still higher flood does damage to it, which might be many years and the groins and other pro tective works might- be undertaken as seem necessary in the future,—l am, Sir, Soar Obedient Servant, O Names Bsll, M.I*C.

The Bishop of Christchurch and the Church of Rome.

Thristohwrch July 7 Insriietf the eld weather and heavy snow lying, the Orangemen's annual oharoh parade was held today, the service in the Cathedral btig largely attended. Bishop Julina preached, and in the course rf his sermon said that tha necessity which had called the Orange iua'.itutjion into existence still remained. " A great deal bad changed since then, but the Church of Home w»s th- same now as then Her errors had been multipl ad, and her political intrigues wee as dangerous as they evfr were, as wi nets her reoenb aotioi in France and Europe j.en-;raily. Hie Lordsbip believed, however, that at the moment she waiao'ualiy losing ground in England, rather thaa gaining it, and that the Church of ftog'and was never more unlikely to put her neck under the yoke of Rome than at this moment. As to Jhe colonies, in proportion to her member?, the Church of Rome's influence was enormous, Speaking plainly, he regarded the supremacy of that Church in any country as fatal to that country's good, and the Church of Rome's I

I activity demanded strenuous and organised opposition* The Bishop spoke of the danger

from intermarriages between Komanists and Protestants, and the training of children bora of such marriages, The Church of Rome hud acquired a very gr«stdeal of,palitieal influence in this court* try, On'y the other day a woman, in speak* ing about) her sou, who desired to secure a position; said that if only she was a Catholic he would get it immediately. That was 11 ue and Hmply because th*y worked together, and knew what they wanted, they got it. They were gainirg graHnally in this country and in other countries they had a good deal of political influence.

LEAVE OH 1 AB ENCB ' Mr Josuph Taylor apologised fc won 'attendance ACCOUNTS Acconri'e amounting to £44 2< 81 were passed for payment. beserve 3540 After a desultory discussion the Board decided to receive the letter from the Da part ment bearing on tbe sttbjact, and to concur with the m»t*er contained therein. THE BY LAWS QUESTION Upon the letter from the Chief Health Officer being read, tho chairman asked that Mr Puruell's opinion be read on the subject. The latter stated that In order to get the scavenging of the Town Dist<ict carried out properly ifc would be necessary to pass a.by law. Thero were certain matters that could be met by resolution, but could not be eiforced.

Mr Siicock was of opinion"; hat the work should be carried our, He did not wish to take up the time of the Board, as he had referred to the nutter before. Hampstead had been spoken of as ' Dirty Hampstead, ' and be saw no reasr.n why it should not be made a model suburban district snob as Tinwald wa?.

The Borough School Hobby Show.

The attendance at the Borough School Hobby Show ou Saturday, although not so large a« might have been expected had the tf out he «* been altogether jaaourable, was still satisfactory, mod the financial results at the close of the Exhibition were such as amply to fulfil the expectations of the promoters. We have not heard just what the net profits are, but they will be found sufficient to enable the Gcbeme of a School Library to he ab least inaugurated. Want of space prevents us from doing more than aSluda very briefly in this Issue to this very (successful Bhow, but we desire to make special reference to the admirable specimens of school work tbab were exhibited. The drawing was much above bhe average of a few years ago, and we question whether any school In the colony could show better examples of sixth standard work. The specimens of needlework from the Allenton School were also very or editable. The con cert in the evening was well patronised, the vocalists being Mesdamea Dee and Crisp, and Mr Anderson and another gentleman. Misses Greason and E Bell and Mr Hobbs took part in one pantomimic accompaniment while bhe Misses Collins (2) and the little girl Jeseop asoisted to form nn illustrative tableau for Master Lea Hardie'a solo, which was a great success, There were pianoforte solos by Miss Grrsson and Mr F Curtis, and excellent overture by the junto! band.
