CHRISTCHURCH.

(From our Own Correspondent.) This day. Treatment of Auckland Cricketers by- Canterbury. The Globe, in an article replying to the attack made on the Canterbury cricketers, •which appeared in the Auckland Star lately, says :—" rf be writer of the article we have 'quoted from brings forward grave charges against our players, but we totally deny that the cricketers of Canterbury have done anything at all to justify the sarage onslaught made on them, or that there is one word of truth in the accusations of un hospitality and ill-concealed dudgeon which are levelled at them. The cricketers of this province received the travelling team from Auckland hospitably, played them a friendly match, got beaten, and took their defeat as gentlemen should do. We say that there never was the slightest idea amongst the cricketers of Canterbury, and that th.ere was never any thin" said by anyone, authorised to speak on their behalf, which could be twisted into meaning any promise that a team from Can terbury would be found to go up to Auck land this year. On the contrary, it was explained in a most distinct manner, that it would be utterly impossible for a visit to be made to our antagonists ground, and it was ' under these circumstances that Canterbury cricketers subscribed towaids the expenses of the visiting team." Further on the writer says, "As for the charge of wreekmg lll eoncealed dudgeon on Otago because our team were fortunate enough to win an easy victory it ia too absurd to excite anything but contempt, for the writer who could indulge in such insinuations, but the implied charge of inhospitality, is a graver accusa tion, and we can only deny it in the strongest manner. We are not aware that the charge has ever been made before, and we can look back on the reception of many visiting teams during the last fifteen years. The gentlemen comprising the Southern team never, so far as we can learn, made any complaints of their reception on the banks of the Avon, and it ia a well known fact that letters had preceded them from residents in Auckland who were an tagonistic to the trip, in which the players - were heartily abused. This underhand pro ceeding on the part of some who professed to be friends of the game, did not meet with success, and our visitors were treated with the uttermost cordiality." After referring to the captain's speech in proposing the toast of "The Unsuccessful Teams of the other Provinces," at the dinner given to the victorious eleven on their return, the article •winds up by saying, "It is sincerely to be hoped that the cricketers of Auckland do not share the opinion set down in the article referred to. We do not believe they do, and We can at least answer for those members of the travelling eleven who have preferred to throw in their lot with the Southern pro vince for the future, and who, whether hos pitably received or not, have elected to remain in Canterbury. The Cabmen's Dispute. ' At a meeting of the cabmen last night it Was agreed that every owner and driver should apply for licences under the bye-law. *, After theaß applications are put ia it is agreed that by-gones shall beby-gones, and v " the matter may then be considered settled. The actions will be dropped.

The "Times"' on Sir George Grey. The Times this morning says re the appear ance of Sir George Grey in the political world, and the feeling of the Ministry arising against Mr Vogel for his contempt, says :— " This silence in England is coasidered to imply that he has been unable to negotiate loans as favorably as the former loans were floated. This, together with maDy other indications, forecast a change in the political atmosphere." It proceeds :—" People are getting surfeited with the political romance. They wish to settle down quietly to agricul tural, pastoral, and mining pursuits. The Immigration and public works policy is quite enough for our Btatesmen for the next few years, without; a South Sea bubble or herculean task of constitution mongering." Railway Opened.
