MAJOR GORDON'S "IMPAR TIALITY."

To .# Editor of the Evening Stab. Sib, —fam glad to find that some notice has been taken of the partial manner in which Major Gordon, the officer command ing the Auckland district, is, and has been, performing his duties. I shall just give one instance, which, I am certain, will stamp him as one in whom the volunteers canjhave no confidence. On the recent occasion of Colonel Harington making his annual inspection here, Major Gordon issued orders for the Hobson and Scottish Companies to assemble at 6 and 7 o'clock a.m., in the Albert Barracks, and, strange to say, the colonel inspected the Scotch first. It is well known that the nominal captain of the Scottish volunteers is a member of our Colonial Legislative Council, and of course his convenience must be studied. I ask the Volunteers, is that impartial ad ministration. The commanding officer of the Auckland District may rest assured that his believed partizan conduct in con nection with the Brigade, the Rifie Range, and other volunteer matters may form a portion of the business of the House of Representatives when it meets about June. A Raw Recruit.

HARBOUR BOARD

An adjourned special meeting of the Harbour Board was held this afternoon in their Board room, Lower Queen street. Present: W. C.Daldy,Esq, Chairman, and Messrs. Dargaville, Casey, Copland, McKellar, Macready, Philips, Boylan, Tonks, L. D. Nathan, Niccol, and Ander son. The minutes of the preceding meeting were read and confirmed. letters. One from the Colonial Secretary, trans mitting an order in Council, rescinding certain powers given to the Superintendent, and vesting them in the Harbour Board. One from Mr Webster, of Sydney, stating there would be no difficulty in pro curing the turpentine piles required by the Harbour Board. —In reference to this it, was said there was immense difficulty in procuring totara piles. Letter from the manager of the Salt water Baths, stating that the cancellation of his lease would be a serious incon venience to him. He forwarded the overdue rent.—With regard to this, Capt. Casey gave notice that, at nest meeting he would move that the proposal to cancel the lease be rescinded. He thought that if left alone the matter would cure itself in a few years, as the bottom would fall out.

Letter from Messrs. Hurst, Whitaker, and others, representing that the middle jetty at Shoal Bay was in a dangerous condition, and requesting the Board to repair it. It appeared that there was no public thoroughfare to the wharf. The Board therefore could not entertain the letter.

(Left Sitting.)

To any one who will show a larger stock of Auck" land-made Quartz, Greenstone, and Mosaic Jewellery, within six months, I will give a rewardof fifty pounds. I also challenge New Zealand for style and beauty. Two thousand pound worth of Colonial-made Jewellery always on hand.—F. H. Lewisson, Qneen street. —lAdvt.l Ladies in want of general drapery, underclothing, and baby wares should inspect the stock of such goods in the show-rooms of R. W. Dyson, 220, Queen street, where they are being sold considerably under value, «onsec,uent upon the early termination of the lease of the premises, and the contemplated retirement of the proprietor.—[Adtt.]
