ARUNDEL.

(From Our Own Correspondent.)

The Arundel School Committee held a social in aid of the school fnud on July 25th, which proved a success, the school room being crowded. Miss F. Lorgelly, Messrs T. Charles, Coskive, and others provided good music, and Mr W. Ashby made an efficient M.C. Excellent songs were contributed, by several ladies and gentlemen, those of Mrs J. Button, Miss Button, and Mr W. Bryan being worthy of special mention. Miss Button also gave some very nice selections on the grama phone, which were well received. An ample supply of refreshments was supplied by the ladies of the district. During the • evening the chairman of the school com mittee thanked everybody for their attend ance, also the singers, musicians, M.C, and the Ladies who supplied the refreshments. Dancing was kept up until 3 a.m., and the school was nicely decorated by the teacher and children.

On Friday last the spinsters gave a return ball to the bachelors and their friends. The gathering was a very large one—in fact, as large as any ever held in Arundel. Messrs Clarkson, Hamilton, Lorgelly, and others supplied the music, and Mr W. Ashby carried out the duties of M.C. Mr Mac- Donald played some selections and some of the Scotch dances on the bagpipes. The ladies had the hall beautifully decorated, and supplied refreshments. Miss E. Pethie, the secretary, carried out her duties.to perfection, and with the assistance of a committee of young ladies, kept things going well during the evening. At the close Mr Campbell proposed a hearty vote of thanks to" the ladies, and complimented theni on the great success of the ball. I am very sorry to report that we are likely to lose Mr Petrie. I hear that he has sold his hotel. If so, he will be a great loss to the district, as since he has been here he has done all he could to help everything along, and both he and Mrs Petrie have been always ready to assist in anything that was asked of them. It is not known for certain yet who succeeds Mr Petrie, but I think it will be hard to get as good a man for the place. lam sure everybody will hope that Mr and Mrs Petrie will be successful wherever they may decide to settle.

Wellington August 12 The Acting-Premier has been advised by a leading firm in tho colony that cab c ad vices have been received by ifc calling the attention of sheep-growers to the desirable ness, when they have meat for export, of not quoting beyond values. The firm's ad visers state that a largo Australian buyer, who was recently purchasing meat in New Zealand for export to the Cape, found it so difficult to do business in this colony that he had gone to the Argentine for supplies.

A cablegram received from tho Agent- General by Sir Joseph Ward, sets out; tha. by Mr Reeves's direction, an English butcher had been prosecuted and heavily fined for having sold River Plate mutton as New Zealand. An important admission was made by the defendant that ninety nine out of a hundred butchers call all frozen mutton New Zealand.

Cricket.

THE FIFTH TEST MATCH.

London, August 11 On resuming, Hopkins carried his total to 40, and then skied Lookwood to slip while attempting to hit to leg. Maclaren taking the catch. The departing batsman played with admirable steadiness, and made many good hits The partnership lasted an hour and a half, and put on 81 runs — eight wickets for 256. Kelly joined Trum ble, when the latter was at 36, and lively play became the order of the day. Hirst went on afc 274. Trumble with one drive for four off Rhodes reached his half century after a hundred and twenty-five minutes' play. Kelly, when he had totted up 7, gave Hirst a difficult chance of a catch off his own bowling, the ball travelling very low down. The let off proved expensive. Kelly was quickly amongst the thirties, one over from Jackson yielding three fours. When the batsman had 39 to his credit, Rhodes running up sharp from short-leg dismissed him with a nice catch off Braund. His score included seven fours. The hour during which he was associated with Trum • ble yielded 68, the last 24 being put on in ten minutes—nine for 324. Saunders's ar rival and departure made no change in the state of affairs, as he retired leg-before to Braund without scoring. Trumble carried out his bat for 64. He played very good cricket, bufc his innings was marred by two chances. When he had scored 9 he was . missed afc the wicket off Jackson, and at 56 he made a bad stroke, the ball falling in front of Hayward at third man. He hit eight fours and nine twos.

(Received August 13, 9.53 a.m.)

London, Aug. 12

Heavy rain fell overnight, and the wicket was soft. During play it was overcast, and at one. time the light was bad, and play was suspended for forty minutes. Palairet was the first out, at. 33, and was followed by MacLaren, who made a bad stroke. Two for 36. .Hayward and Tyldesley carried the score to 63, when the former played Trum ble on. Tyldesley was out similarly. Five for 67. Braund and Jessop added sixteen, when the latter was bowled. Hirst fol lowed, and Braund should have been stumped off Saunders. After lunch, the sun reappeared, and there was an immense attendance. Hirst brought about the first change of bowling, by hitting Saunders for three successive fours. Noble, who re placed the Victorian, was handled the same way. Trumble eventually caught Hirst off his own bowling. Lockwood began by hittiHg Noble about, causing him toretfce in favour of Saunders. The new-comer was caught with the score at 179. Lilley was in time to see Braund caught at long-on. Nine for 183. Lilley was caught without further addition to the score.

Trumper and Duff began the Australians second innings. Trumper was run out for 2. Duff made six, and was then bqwled by Lockwood. At 31, Darling made way for Noble, who, with Hill carried the score to 71, when Noble was bowled off his pads. The following are the scores.-—

TO-DAY'S TELEGRAMS.

Per Press Association—By Eler-tric Telegraph Wellington, August 13

Some time ago a protest was entered against the Governor issuing an order authorising the construction of electric tramways in the city. The objectors con tended that the original intention of the loan had been departed from, and asked for the appointment of a Commission of Enquiry as provided by the Act. This request has now been granted, Mr Haselden, S.M., being appointed to hear all objections and complaints. The Conference of Trades Unionists passed the following resolution: —" That the Conciliation and Arbitration Act be amended to provide that the Arbitration Court shall consist of one employer and one worker engaged in the industry in which a dispute has arisen, such represen tatives to be appointed by the parties to the dispute, the president to be a Judge of the Supreme Court.

An application was made in Chambers this morning by a local dealer for leave to serve a writ on a Fiji fruit merchant claim ing the cost of shipment of the fruit. His Honor decided he had not jurisdiction to grant the .-ipplication as the contract be tween parties was made in Fiji and was intended to be performed there.

Thames, Aug. 13

Edwnvd Simpson, who received fearful injuries in a blasting accident some months back, is still an inmate of the Thames Hos pital. He has made a wo_derful recovery, his arm, shoulder, chest, and face being smashed about, but beyond the fact that the sight of one eye has gone, the wounds have healed.

A strange occurrence is reported from Kauearanga district, near the Thames. Sulphur dust fell for some time on veran dahs and houses, which were covered with the deposit. The only feasable explanation is that the volcanic activity atßotorua of late caused the sulphur dust to rise, and the wind carried it to this district.

On the assumption that the Government capitation grant would be substantial, the Goldfields Cadet Corps recruited up to the maximum strength allowed when formed, but has now disbanded, the amount of five shillings per head not being sufficient to pay even the preliminary expenses. The Thames fishermen protest strongly against any attempt to re-open the Hauraki Gulf for trawling purposes, and state that since the trawler has ceased, there has been a marked increase in the quantity of fish, while there is a smaller number of stinga rees and sharks. They strongly oppose the granting of the petitions now before the House.

Hawera, August 13

At the Police Court to-day, the licensee of the Royal Hotel was fined and his

j license ordered to be endorsed for supplying ! liquor to a youth while in a state of intoxi cation. He was also lined £3 for supplying liquor to a boy midm age, 16 years. The licensee of the Empire Hotel was fined £3 on a similar chnrge. Ihe" latter fines were alterwards raib.cl to £o ls to allow of an appeal. Timaru August 13 Arrangements are now being made here by the Mayor and Town Councillors for a grand Coronation ball on August 28.
