consistency. The Ministry . has been fminstvioui, but only with paste iml scissors. The press people here sug gest it should be known to future tame as the Taste and Scissors Ministry. It is a Government of political sub-editors, without an editor. Any sub-editor with big shears and a library of statutes could hash up 'dually good" Bills. The Ministers cannot carry on the business. Some think they want to manoeuvre to force tiie Opposition into the position of delaying business and forming for dissolution, the very thing to send them to the limbo of dead and tor cotton things. If the Opposition can be restrained from indiscreet precipitancy, the Government must, like the Long Parlia ment, give place to better men.

FREESTONE QUARRY AT MUDDY CREEK.

The quality of the stone which has been taken from Captain Symonds' Freestone Quarry lias been proved to possess the firmness and durability iequired to entitle it to a high place in public estimation, and to render it suitable for works requiring stone of lasting- properties. Its capability of withstanding the decaying effect which exposure to the weather has upon many other samples of freestone lias been satis factorily proved. A block of this stone was dressed a few years ago by Mr Carlyle, and was for a Jong period used as the door-step of the old Onehunga Post-office. On being taken up no traces of premature decay were visible, and the block was cut up into sam ple pieces. Mr Mahouey has one of them at his office. Mr Lowe, the engineer em ployed to survey and report on the quarry, said there were at least six acres of the best quality of stone therein. It is easily worked, being situated on the beach, a small wharf only being required to enable vessels to load. At Mr Thomas' yards, Lome-street,

a small monumental cross has been carved from the freestone, and engraved. This is open to public inspection. Captain Symonds is willing to let the quarry for a year free of royalty "to any enterprising person who will work it in a scientific manner, under the superintendence of an engineer or geologist.

CHRISTCHURCH, Wednesday, THE FOOTBALL MATCH DUNEDIN V. CHRISTCHURCH.

The football match, Christchurch v. Dunedin, ■was played on Cranmer Square thi.-j afternoon. The weather was beautiful, and about 700 spec tators were present, Dixon was captain of the Dunedin team, and Evans of Christchurch. It was decided to play four spells of half an hour each, also to count only touch-downs and goals, three touch-downs to be equal to a goal. JJixon kicked off for Dunedin, and Christchurch at once rushed the ball over the centre line, but Dunedin getting the best of a scrummage, car ried it back again: this was repeated several times, Dunedin showing a trifle best in the scrummages, and keeping better on the ball than their opponent?. Several splendid runs were made by members of the visiting team. Ultimately, Nicholl, by amagnificent dash, car ried the ball right down to the front of the Christchurch goal before he was • collared. An excit'ng scrummage followed, Dixon made several fine runs. Christchurch now kept better on the ball, and at 3.20 carried it over the centre line to the Dunedin ground. Rose and Murray made fine runs for Dunedin. Duneolin kept the ball u» towards the Christchurch goal, Dixon and Mills for the former making some pretty runs. Several scrummages on the touch line occurred near the Christchurch goal, when the home team were again forced to touch down. Time was then called. In the second spell the game was very equal and exciting. Rose, Dixon, Mills, and Bweete, made good runs for Dunedin; Mathias and Stringer doing the same for Christ church. In the third spell the Christchurch men made an irresistible rush, and scrummages on the touch lines followed for nearly fifteen minutes. Sweete, of Dun«"din, then got away with the ball. Moore returned it splendidly— the Christohurch men playing up in fine form, carried, the ball over the Dunedin goal line, but Dunedin luckily got the touch, so nothing was scorsd. Directly the ball ■was kicked off, Chrischurch agair rushed it up to the Dunedin quarters, and after some exciting scrummages, Cotterill kicked it over the line, compelling Dunedin to again touch down. Dunedin now pulled themselves together, and carried the ball on to the Christohurch ground, where porno straggles on the touchline occurred. Allen (Dunedin), in one of them, got a nasty kiok behind the right knee, disabling him for a minute or two. Alter another scrummage, time was called. In the fourHi spell tire ball was carried well on to the Dunedin ground, twid desperate scrummages followed. Dunedin gradually but surely bored their way to the Christchurch goal line, and Rose ultimately secured a touch down—this counting first point to Dunedin. took the try, but missed the goal, going very wide. Christchureh made a determined rally, and Dunedin were again forced to touch down in defence. Sweete made a. splendid run for Dunedin, and Rose, following suit, carried the ball right up to the Christchurch goal line, where a series of tremendous scrum mages occurred, ending in the, ball being carried over the line. Some doubt existed as to whether Christchurch or Dunedin got the touch, but, after a short pause, the umpires decided in favour of Dunedia. Dixon, captain of the Dunedin team, took the try, but failed to score a goal—the ball just passing over the goal post. Dunedin again rushed the ball up towards the Christchurch goal, but a fine kick by Anderson sent it on to the Dunedin ground, and time being called, the match resulted in favor of Dunedin by two touch downs to nothing. The excitement during a great part of the match was very great, the spectators cheering the players repeatedly. Both teams pla/yed hard, and soon after the match commenced several players gave ample proof that blood had been drawn on both sides. The Dunedin team will be entertained at dinner this evening.

Melancholy Accident.

HASTINGS (Tapti Creek.) This day. V S \d accident has occurred,resulting in the death of Mr Archibald McLiver. As Mr Lachlan McLiver, and his younger brother Archie, were proceeding to their residence, Golden Point, from the township with provisions at about ten p.m., both with lanterns, the elder in advance suddenly missed his brother. They were on a very bad part of the track, two hundred yards from Stevens battery, the bank being only about a foot wide where the accident occured, and having a steep fall to the creek below of aboutjeight feet. Thinking Ids brother must have gone the creek road, Mr McLiver hastened home, and not I'm ding him, his brother Finlay and lie returned back, and found the poor fellow lying in the creek dead with his load on his back. _ They roused Mr Plumber, who with his .son assisted to bring the body to the Royal Oak Hotel, where it no.v lies awaiting a coroners inquest. The sad affair has cast a gloom over the place, the young man being much respected. L 45. p.m. Hugh, Finlay and Lachlan McLiver have just left with the body.

VOLUNTEER INTELLIGENCE.

THE THAMES CHALLENGE

1 HE '•' Herald " of this morning stated that the spirited challenge of the Thames Scottish Company to drill 50 men a side, at ranges to be agreed upon, has not been accepted by any of the Auckland Com panies, nor indeed by any Company as a whole ; and further that the cha lcnge had been accepted by the Victoria (Auckland) Company, but the notice of the acceptance of the Victoria Company had not reached the Thames on Tuesday. Should the pro posed match be fired at the Thames, the challengers will defray the expenses of the Auckland men, but if the match is to he fired at Auckland, the Auckland men will be expected to defray the expenses of the Thames men. We may add that the reason of the seem ing delay has been caused in con sequence of the difficulty of getting the Auckland team together, many of the men being engaged at work in remote parts of the province. With reference to the pro posed match, we giv<: the annexed corres pondence :—
