George PrcderickLongdill, clerk, deposed that ho was a member of the A. R, Club, and was one of the boating party on Saturday afternoon, bnt not in Mr Henderson's boat. The remainder of Mr Longdill's evidence was similar to that ol Mr Henderson, lie missed his gold watch, a pocket-book, and £.i in notes. Pound a note pinned to his coat telling him where his notes were. Found the notes according to information in note. He thought it will a joke, and did not immediately miss Irs watch. Met Detective J cilery, who spoke to him, which caused him to feel for bis watch. Ho found that it had ilepart-d from his pocket. Pri soner had no right to interfere with his pockets. William Black, clerk, nisi a member of the Auckland Rowing Club, was one of tho party. He was the last who left the build ings, and he locked up both places, and put the keys ou the ledge inside the window — tho placo whore members left them. On returning to the shed he found Mr Long dill's pocket book ou the door, There were £'i, which he loft with Mr Hilditch at tho baths, pinning a not. to Mr Longdill's coat to that effect. Detective Jeffery found the watch and other property upon prisoner and produced them. They were identified by tho owner. Mr Pardy said he must ask for a remind J at this stage of tlie proceedings, as there were other charges to be brought against tlie prisoner, and all the articles had not been discovered. Adjourned until Monday next. This was all tho business.

UNION SASH AND DOOR FACTORY.

Wis can remember the time when sashes, doors, and mouldings were made by hand in Auckland, and when architraves for superior edilices were constructed iv sec tions at five timo3 tho cost of the elaborate soven-inch architrave put iuto an ordinary cottage of the piesent day. The rooms of great men in the olden times were edged round with very ordinary-looking boards, the margins beiug decorated with something called a moulding, but which looked as if they were shaped out with no better tool than a claw hammer. The most primitive attempts at wood decoration involved so much outlay that there was little display of taste iv buildings erected at an early period. Seventeen years ago a modest structure was erected at the lower end of Upper Queen street for the manufacture of doors, sashes, and mouldings. The od'orts put forth— though very unpretentious compared with tho performances of the present day—were a great stride ahead. Two years after the period above named, another branch of this industry was established in Mechanics' Bay, It is almost impossible to comprehend the great change which a dozeu years has wrought. Starting with slender means and with at most fifty men, the small but vigorous statl' of workers achieved a success which made their cotnpauy the premier dividend paying company iv the colonies ; and the work was done in a quiet uuasiumiug manuer. Many a midnight was spent by the busy bees of this young colonial hive, in build ing up golden comb in the shape of dividend paying balances. Tbey were a small but harmonious baud, toiliug long hours in the dingy little old oliice made out of packing cases in which the inachiuery waa first im ported from England. This packing-case office did duty through many a long day, nud bore eloquent testimony to the strict care exercised with tho mouey of share holders, and to the rigid economy exercised in tho spending of it. Mr Waymoutb, as head man in this packing ca3c department, used to roll up his sleeves, and astonish all connected with the establUhmcnt by the work he did. Mr Monk worked untiringly with brain and body, and may be said to have knocked himself to pieces with his great and unceasing efforts to build up a prosperous institution. Though the first start in tbe bay was tbe day of small things, each succeeding year added to the , profitable business of the Company, and step by step the inititution was built up. Its manufactured materials for builders' uses soon obtained the bigho<t name for excellency of work and durability. The torra and design of the mouldings have now become famous throughout the Australian colonies. When exhibiting against foreign compauies the Union has always secured the highest honours, This Company has fought hard to secure for kiuii timber a Inatue and a place. The prejudice of Southern consumers twelve years or so ago agaiust kauti is well known. There was absolutely no sale whatever for our premier wood, nor for the articles made at the mill from it. Tho s.me extraordinary antipathy to Auckland timber existed in Australia, but those ijnorant prejudices have all died out, aud there is now an enormous sac of our kauri yearly to the neighbouring colonies. We g*ve in a late issue some quotations of the high prices realised for kauri in Australia. In the latter place, where any quantity of tlie best ot all kinds of foreign timber can be obtained for lloor ing, kauri is esteemed as the best, while wealthy men exhibit with pride their floors made of New Zealand timber, high culogium having been passed on the flooring prepared and shipped to Australia by the Union Mill. In order to give the reader somo definite idea of tbe magnitude of oue of our local industries, wc will describe the Sash and Toor Factory at Mechanics' Bay. '

THE FACTORY

Wc are shewn round by Messrs Herbert and Eyre. Both are old identities in the institution. The former is at the head of the manufacturing department. He is a staunch believer in kauri, is an enthusiast lv its praiso, and has also made himself a place in the good wishes of both architects and builders by the care and paius taken in tbe execution of the joinery work supplied to the best villa residences in aud about this town.

Mr Eyre styles himself "law doctor," steel discs are his patients, and the criterion of their health is when thoy become raven, ing dragons with chorus of scream, howl, and weird song, doing thoir best to make our beautiful kauri a story of the past, that a hundred ytars hence will be told iv phrases of romance, and become a theme for the poet's lament. Wc first enter the turnery department, which is 150 ft. long by 31ft. wide, and notice near tbe doorway the face-plate lathe operating on some splendid specimens of New Zealand woods, which have bsen put together by some cabinet-maker and sent to tbe mill to be turned, this face-plate lathe being capable of turning circles of lOit. in diameter. There is next seen a heavy lathe capable of turning great columns 20ft. high and 2ft. in diameter, a number of which await the liuishing touch of the carver. There are six lathes of this kind. _ A vertical boring machine is used in connexion with fret-cutting. A handle turning Ameri can lathe is being erected. (All the machines but this one were built in the factory.) A fret cutting machine now at work is about to be replaced by a new oue, made at the mill and specially adapted for cutting the linest work with the greatest possible rapidity of action, made frora completely new designs furnished by employed of the Company. .In connection with this impor tant department of wood ornamentation the wood-carvers arc employed. The introduc tion of wood-turning was attended with very satisfactory results, as it utilises all the refuse in the shape of small pieces ol wood. The machinery of this department is to a great extent employed on what otherwise would be waste pieces, much of the wood used up being too small to be worked iv the doors and sashes, but all of it is available for the various requirements of the turnery department. In this depart ment there is" also a circular saw, used for recti.ting small pieces to any specially dimi nutive size required.

SECOND FLOOR,

The second floor of the main factory is 120 feet long by 60 feet wide. On entering this wc see heaps of turned balustrades packed ready for -ending away. This lloor is largely used for storing doors, which arc in course of manufacture, and in drying the same. Several thousands of doors are 11 m on hand drying, previous to being glued. This ensures an ex cellent article, which will withstand the severcat tests ot the weather. Prominent among the goods iv course of completion are the circular head windows, &c, for a mansion in Waikato, now being erected tinder the superintendence of Mr F. H. White, the architect. The joiners work is chiefly trom new and chaste designs, and will, when completed and iv position, have a most elegant appearance. The door finishins. department c ccupies a largeportionof this floor, aud is fitted up with first-class machinery. There are 2 powerful teononing machine., 1 do morticing and boring inachice, 1 machine for grooving door material, 2 circular eaw3, 1 grooving and rabbeting saw, 2 moulding machine?. 'I here is also a new shaping machine used for working irregular shapes of timber. This is an entirely new machine, constructed roceutly iv the factory from new designs. The patterns were made at the mill. The Amcricau machines are constantly falling out of repair, and the present invention will obviate the frequent stoppages for repairs necessitated by usiug the imported machine. The new one introduced is more powerful, and of greater service. It is evident that there is considerable mechanical genius at the mill whicli has only required the oppor tunity fo developing, and there is evidence that the company's workmen are endeavour

; ing to introduce such improvements as i will facilitate production. There are, in this same department, six large size mitrcing machines, chiefly used for moulding of doors. These ensure a more accurate description of work than the old process with flic saw and mitre box. Tho rest of this lloor is occupied by joiners' benches. The grinding shop is situated iv a western wing, anil is fittedup with two grinding machines, The sizs of this shop is lb'x 10. i in a large lean-to 120 feet long, 15 feet . wide—on the east side, is the sand-papering machine, used for finishing oil pant Is of tlic finer class of woik. There arc also joiners' benches for the door finishers. Cue end of the wing is the receptacle for the goeds in course of selection for delivery. I SA.SIt DirAKTMKNr. On entering the sash department (which is 120 feet long, GO feet wide) wo notice huge piles of sashes of numberless sizes, the fact of there being a hundred different sizes of sashes iv constant uso makes it necessary to keep a large stock iv band. Wcjpass next iuto tho glacier's department, where six hands aro busily employed. Be yond this is tho extensive sash manufactur ing department, all ou oue spacious lloor. : Here are seen two circular saws, four morticing machines, one boring, three moulding, one moulding machine used ex pressly for crumping sashes. Another sec.ion is used for the panels of doors, and in one huge stack may be observed 10,000 panels of various sizes ready for use.

THE lIEE-lIOX DEPARTMENT

The Union Mill are making a speciality of the manufacture of bee-boxes, having been urgently requested to do so. A great deal of attention has accordingly been paid to designiug and producing the exact kind of hive and apparatus required for this country, as beekeepers are becoming more numerous, aud are manifesting great vigor iv their operations. Apiarists will therefore be glad to learn that they can obtain from the Union Mill nu adaptation of the Ameri can hive, specially suited to the New Zea land climate at very moderate prices. It is the exact thing required in this country, This is to bekuown tofame as the Union hive. On tho lower or ground lloor (120 ft. by 75ft.) there is the heavier machinery. We notice a powerful breaking-down saw, capable ot cutting logs 7ft. in diameter. Opposite is a crab winch for hauling up logs, and a travelling bench for remitting after the break down. Adjoining the latter are two deal frames, used for cutting boards to auy width up to 24 inches. Next is the large tongue and grooving machiue, aud then the two large surfacin_; machines for planing timber to an equal thickness. There is a small moulding machine, and a very large powerful one. The latter is used for working the largest moulding and archi traves. Two^cross-cut su.ws, and 1 small re cutting saw. There i? an euormoua grind stone for grinding the large cuttiug irons. In the engiue-rooin is a 75 horse-power high and low pressure condcusing engine. Ad joining arc four large cylindrical boilers 42fc. long, and about 2ft. 7in. in diameter. Wc must not omit the powerful fire-engine by Mcrrywcathcr, which is connected by a steam pipe with the boiler, so as to be available for use at a moment's notice.

The engine aud fittiug shop come next under review, cont-iuiut, one powerful screw-cutting lathe, a small self-acting lathe, au iron-plauiug tnachiue, and drilling machine. Adjoining the fitting .shop is an auxiliary eniiiuc 25 horse-power, used for driving uiachiuery in the new section of tbe mill, i.c , the turnery, etc. Tbe now section covers au area of 115 feet by 60 feet. There are here a powerful four-side mould ing machine, one huge surfacing machine to plane 2-t iuches wide, one re-cutting circular sa«v, one four-side variety moulding tnachiue of a recent and improved design, a large teuuoning machine, one for wood boring, v steam-power morticing machine, and a groving machine ; a hauucliing and relish ing machine, used in the manufacture of doois This is very elaborate aud com plicated, saving great labour. The power ful hand-saw at work here is capable of cutting 2-1 inches nnd circles of the minutest size. There is a rod-turning macliino and a cross-cut saw, Special notice should be taken of the broom handle and round picket machine, with pointing nrrangement, waking very attrac tive material for gates and fences. Adjoin ing this new addition is a large extension of buildings toward the railway, u.-.od for the storing of manufactured work. Tlie black smith's shop (21 feet Ly 14 feet) is near the factory. The wholesale lire proof store is SO feet long 2 story high, the lower portion is 12 feet high, the upper 10 feet, us.d for storing manufactured good?. In the event of the mill being burnt, tho supply kept here would enable tbe Company to carry on business, aud sell doors and sashes for three months. This wholesale store is entirely separated from the mill premises, by tho railway line and embankment. There arc two large glass stores, an oil and hardware store, and two receiving stores for manufactured mouldings and archi traves, and n large timber shed. The head ollices (40 feet by 30 feet, 2 story) recently erected on the front street, is unique in character. Some fine specimens of figured kauri, and other colonial woods, are dis played to advantage in the inside work. Travellers by train cannot fail to notico tbo elegant lookiug oliice facing the Strand Voad, and are impressed with the great area ot factory buildings, and the imposing array of timber stacks. The almost count less quantity of the timber being a moiety of the seasoned wood po'sessed by tlie Company. At the bay there is usually kept on hand a million and a half feet of seasoned timber for joiners' work. The Company have fix hundred feet of water frontage. It is a coniiuou thing to .see half-a-dozen vessels discharging at one time, and others taking in ttrcbrr. Thi. Company employ SOO men, and as oue of our leading local industries, is is well entitled to support. Its extensive mill propertit'3 and forests will be the subject of further remark.

THE CIRCULAR DEPARTMENT

This important department Is under tbe superintendence of Mr Ercd Eyre. Four large mills depend on him for their cutting po w er.

HARBOR BOARD ELECTION.

RESULT IN FAVOUR OF THE BIG

DOCK.

J The meeting of the constituents of the I Harbour Board, whicli was convened for I noon to day for the purpose of electing three I gentlemen to the scuts vacated by Messrs McKenzio, Compton, and Stone, was very numerously attended. In accordance with the legal ennctmcut the proceedings bad to bo conducted within the olliccs of the Board, and the most spacious room, there fore, had been prepared in anticipation of a crowded assemblage. These expectations were fully realised, At a quarter to twelve I lie room contained as many people as it could conveniently hold, but others con tinued to arrive until every inch of standing room had been taken up. There was a good deal cf pushing, jostling, and squeezing, but the crowd were iv a uood humour and readily adapted themselves to the uncomfortable character of the sur roundings. A lively inteichauge of badinage went ou aud the utmost hilarity seemed to prevail. . . The sound of the town clock striking the mid-day hour was the signal for loud cries of " time " from the more impatient oi tha electors. Captain McKcuzie then mounted a chair, and after reading the advertisement con vening tbe tnceti-.g .Btated that the first business would be the appointment of a Chairman. Mr Barton Ireland thereupon proposed, and Mr Cf. S. Jakins seconded, Mr Thomas Morrin as Chairman. Mr Morrin accordingly assumed the chair. , , , Un the motion of Mr B. Ireland seconded by Mr Jonathan Winks, Messrs Graves Aicken and J. B. Morton wero appointed scrutineers. The Chairman having signified that the time had arrived for the nomination of candidates, Mr 11. Tonka proposed the 10-clectien ol Mr C. 15. Stone, In doing so, he said that he did not think it advisable on that occasion to make a speech or to detain the meeting by any lengthened remarks. Mr Stone had'been most assiduous iv the per formance of bis duties at the Hoard, and he had always voted right lie did not believo that auy one looking back upon Mr Stone's action could question a single vote that he had given, and there was this much further to be said of him : that he was perfec ly sound on the " big dock" question (cheers), lie would counsel the electors to vote for "local industry," for Mr Stane had been bom and bred in the province, and he was the only member of the Board of whom that could be said (renewed cheering). Mr .1. Cosgravo said that he had much pleasure in seconding the nomination. Mr G. S. Jakins besrged to propose Cupt. Alexander McGregor as a candidate for election. Cap.. McGregor, he could say, was a well-known man, and if he could uot boast of having been born and bred ill the country, ho could, at least, claim that he bad lived a very long time in it. Mr P. Winter seconded.

Mr Lamb, at this stage, wished to qucs. tion dipt. McGregor iv order to ascertain whether or not he win "sound" upon the "dock question." He failed, however, to obtain a hearing. Mr B- Ireland then proposed Mr Comp ton. lie could confidently say of the gentleman whom he had named, that from the time of his election ho bad been one of Iho most useful aud energetic members of that Board. Mr John Ryan: Yes; which Ims spoiled the harbour. (Loud and prolonged laugh ter.) He secured his own allotment though. Mr Irclaud went ou to remark that as we had a first-class port, Mr Compton was one of those who wanted to supplement it with a lirst-cl-ss dock. He had taken the initia tive in proving that they could, out of their present icveuuc, lay by sufficient funds in a few yearn to construct a dock suitable for tbo port—suitable tor the mail steamers which at present visited it, as well as for tbo Panama steamers, which might be expected to call hero a few years hence—a dock too which might bo the means of attracting back to these waters the men of-war, which had been obliged to go else where on account of a lack of the necessary conveniences. Mr Compton was just the mau they wanted ou such an occasion ns the present, and tho electors would lose a valuable and experienced representative if they rejected him. . ■ Mi- Gabriel Lewis seconded the nomina tion.

A voice :—Where's the moucy to conic from to pay tor the dock. Mr Chambers had great nlensnro in pro posing as a candidate, Mr Edward Isaacs, a gentleman whom every one present knew. He was a thorough old identity-one who was wrapped up iv the common interests. Mr Isaacs had come forward in place of Captain Anderson, who was not eligible for nomination through boing a contractor under the Board.

Captain McKenzio Iv seconding the pro position said that be could vouch for Mr Issacs' qualifications. He had been in the Coiud along with him and knew him there fore to bo a thoroughly good man. Whether elected or not himself he wished to sec Mr Isaacs in. Mr Geo. Holdsliip nominated Captain Donald Hugh McKcuzie as a candidate. He could state from his own experience that a more hardworking or more painstaking man than Captain McKcuzie had never sat at the Board. Ho could vouch for his honesty ami integrity, and if tlio candidate's opinions did not agree with those of the majority, at any rate he was not afraid to announce and defend them.

Mr J. Winks seconded

Mr Chambers : As the jiroiioscr of Mi- Isaacs, 1 may state that he is thoroughly in favour of the big dock. A Voice : Who is going to pay for the dock ?

Another Voice :No one. (Laughter,) Mr 1 amb : I wish to ask Captain Mc- Gregor if he is in favour of the Big dock. Tho Chairman did not know whether this wore to be regarded as a part of the business, but if the question were pressed he would put it. On the interrogation being repeated, Captain McGregor made some reply in an undertone, which Captain McKenzio an nounced to be his friend's declaration that he was in favour of furthering the interests of the province of Auckland. Mr Lnnib: Oh, that's only shullling the qitcstioD. Mr Jakinß wished to know whether in voting for the dock, the candidates who were in favour of it had any intention of in creasing tlio prcaent wliarfago or shipping charges of tbe poet? He considered that much harm was already being done tha port by the high charges which were levied, aud if any attempt was to be made to double the wharfages for instances he preferred to allow the dock question to remain in abeyance rather than increase the fees. (Applause.) He therefore asked Messrs Compton, Isaacs, and Stono whether iv getting the dock constructed they in tended to increaso the shipping charges. Mr Compton said that ho could answer the question very easily. He had simply to state that there was money sullicient for tlio purpose without resorting to extra taxation. (Cheers.) Mr Stone Baid that his task also was a very easy one. Ho had simply to repeat the . tatemctit whicli Mr Compton had just made. The money was already there.

A Voice : When ? Mr Stove : Don't take the breath out of me, please- Twelve months ago an in case nf tho taxation in the shapo hape of shipping, and harbour rates was gracefully submitted to by the ratepayers on the understanding that tho funds time accumulated funds were to be used for the construction of a big dock. The funds have accumimilated and figures verified by the Secretary and Treasurer of tho Board, shew that there is now sufficient money available for the purpose. Ido not go in for increased taxation (cheers).

The Chairman declared Messrs Stono, Isaacs, and Compton duly elected, and the announcement was greeted with loud and prolonged cheers. A show of hands gave tho following result: — Mr C. B. Stone 112 Mr E. Isaacs 112 Mr Compton 108 Capt. McKenzio 80 Capt, McGregor 48 As each name was announced the mcc!« ing clamourously put the query "For or against the dock," and upon tho answer returned the voting depended.
