CHATTER OR WORK.

(To the Editor.)

Fie,— Throughout the colony a general feeling has prevailed that Sir G. M. O'Rorke, Speaker of the late House of Representatives, had earned the honour cf an uncontested election. The great ability displayed by Sir G. M. O'Rorke as Speaker, and the knowledge, firmness, and dignity with which he governed the House,have won the approval of the best men of both parties in the colony. Nor bas the appre ciation of his career been confined to New_ Zealand, for wherever representative institutions are valued, the distinguished services of Sir George O'Rorke are recognised by everyone who docs not wish to see deliberative assemblies degenerate into mere windbags, whose sole qualification for transacting the work of tneir constituents would be that of " How nottoao it."

It has been reserved for Mr 0. McGee to display the bad taste of contesting Manukau with the late Speaker. Possibly Mr O. McGee thinks himself qualified not only to represent Manukau, but to fill the Speaker's chair as well. If so, he will find that some thing more is required than horse-racing proclivities. Ho may find that he hoc brought his capacity for making long, winded speeches full of sounding words, meaning nothing, to a bad market. Let Mr O. McGee turn to what he calls his "political standard," Webster's dictionary, and he will find that a " chatterbox " is not the roan for Manukau.—Yours, &c, Webstek. Auckland, Dec. Ist, 1881.

A SPECIAL general meeting of the Auok land Agricultural and Pastoral Association waa held this afternoon, for tbo purpose of considering the advisability or otherwise of changing the date of the annual show. Mr A. Buckland was voted to the chair.

The Chairman explained that it had been suggested that the date of tho yearly show should be altered so as to avoid clashing with Southern Shows and so as to ensure the attendance of people from Canter bury nnd other places. It had found many supporters, and the present meeting had been called in older that it should be fully discussed and a decision come to in regard to tt, Mr Joseph Banks proposed that in future the show should be held on some suitable day in the month of October,

Mr James Wallace seconded the pro position.
