CHRISTCHURCH EXHI BITION.

(BY TELEGRAPH.— PRESS ASSOCIATION.)

CHEISTCHURCH, this day. IT has been decided to hold an luterprovln clal ISndcontest; also a series of concert and choral competitions, during tho Exhibition period. The Exhibition building is rapidly approaching completion, and is nearly double tho size originally intended. The number and variety of exhibits vastly ex ceed original expectations.

FIRE IN SYMONDS-STREET.

At ten or twelve minutes past twelve o'clock to-day an alarm of fire was rung out upon tbo iirebclls of the city, and the simultaneous appearance of a column of eraoke in the direction of Upper Symonds-strcet proclaimed the seat of of the danger. The time being that nt which very many people are disengaged, the crowds which streamed by every possible avenue to the scene of the fire were un usually large, and in less than five minutes after the first peal had been sounded, there must have been fully GOO or 700 mcD, women, and children gathered to&other be tweeen the Wynyard Arms Hotel nnd Mount-street. The outbreak had taken Slace in an ancient two-storied wooden welling-houso situated near the corner of Symonds and Mount-streets, and leased and occupied by a man named H. A. Cooper, whose avocation is said to be that of a carpenter. He resided in the place with a female servant, who, during his absence, attended to some vapour and medicated baths that he had fitted up in the house. Tho building eeemsto have been doomed to destruction t even before the bells summoned the assis. ft.tanco of the Brigade, lor ere the fleetest Runner could reach the scene from Queeu if street after the alarm had beeu given, the (gjlames hnd bnrst through the shingled roof, W and were blazing aloft with the f utmost vigour. Numbers of men and boys gave willing assistance to neighbours in removing their goods to places of Bafety and in procuring water wherewith to saturate the roofs and walla of their threatened tenements. Meanwhile, tho fire raged with the greatest fury in Cooper's house, the wood being dry and just enough wind stirring to fan the flames into activity. Tho building stands on an eminence, the footpath having been cut down considerably Bince it was erected, and consequently people shewed a wise discretion in keeping beyond reach of a possible collapse of the verandah. Thia part of the structure at on early stage of tho fire actually did give way from the rest, and it tell right across the narrow asphalted footpath. "When the main building fell in at last it was in the same direction that the debris was projected. Just at this stage the Fire Brigade arrived after an arduous pull np the hill, and at 12.25 the hose reels began te play upon the cod. euming wreck Eight reels, each fitted with inch nozzle?, and oue having a water street nozzle, werd brought into requisition, but as Cooper's place was beyond salvation the firemen gave the greater part of their ntten tion to the extinction of the flames which, foy this time, had spread over the entire surface of the roof of the adjoining cottage, which was occupied by a stonemason, named Blair, and his wife and family. The liberal discharge of water soon estab lished a mastery over the other element, and the shell of Blair's house was saved, but only in a completely gutted condition. Cooper's, with all its contents, was burned to the ground. A house on tho southern Bido of it was slightly damaged, but no fur ther Injury was wrought in that direction. The causo of the outbreak seems to bo unknown. Cooper was away fishing to day bo it is said, and no one seemed to know aught ot the servant. The vapour T)r.ths, however, which are situated m the front portion of the upper baths, were ieated at usual by means of a gas Btove, and the ignition of the building seems to have proceeded from this source. Blair a children, who weie playing in their yard, and the driver of a passing vehicle were the first to raise an alarm, but as very few men were about at the time, some little May in taking preventive measures ensued. The fire spread with the utmost rapidity, and in a few minutes it had full posses sion of the building, rendering access to the iurniture impossible. lhe bulk of Blair's goods were Bayed. Both buildings are the property of the City Council, and were insured for. iiuu each in the South British, and for £50 each In the Standard. The late Mr B. Sceats had » 21 years' lease of the site of Cooper s house, and he sub-leased to Cooper, tho term expiring in August 1883, while .Blair had a short lease from the Council, terrain, ating thia year. Cooper paid i 3 IUJ, wound rent, and Blair £36, per annum. Of course the fire determines both leases. Cooper had his furniture insured with the North British and Mercantile Co. for £150. This is the first loss thw Office hus sustained sine? Mayl 1881. Ulair'a turrnture was uninsured, fcup- S^BSc^nßfe^ Sh some of his men, were on the ground and worked with a will.

IMPOUTANT JUDGMENTS

Two important decisions were given at the adjourned sitting of the County Assess, nient Court this morningbefore Mr Kenrick with regard to the objection lodged by the Borough Council to the rating of the borough endowment at Te Aroha, on tho ground that the County Council was not entitled to make a rate over the Waitoa highway district, His Worship ruled that as this highway district only comprised a small portion of the Ohinemuri riding, the County Council was really the body having control of the roads of the district, and therefore was empowered to rate.—The objection therefore.was disallowed.

The next objection was that of F. C. Dean, to the assessment of Mission land at Parawai—on a similar ground. The Court held that the boundaries of districts wero co-terminous, but that the Parawai high way Board being the body exorcising con trol of the main roads of the district, sec tion C5 of the Hating Act, 1876, was the local body entitled to prepare the roll. So far, he was with the objection. Mr Miller, however (on behalf of the County Council), had raised a point as towhetherthe Assesss ment Court had jurisdiction to declare the roll void as a whole, as required in the objection. He thought the duties of the Assessment Court, as laid down in the Act, were clearly enough defined, and fiat the Judge could only mako an alteration of Individual names. The Supreme Court was the only authority that could invalidate the whole roll. The objection would there fore be disallowed. Ratepayers would not be prejudiced, as they could apply to the Supreme Court for an injunction, prohibi ting the Council from rating [upon the roll framed by them.

SCULLING CHAMPIONSHIP OF NEW ZEALAND.

THE scnlliug match between Hearn, o' Wellington, and Messenger, of Sydney, for £100 a side and the championship of New Zealand, was to have taken place at Wellington at four o'clock this after noon. Very little interest appeared to bo evinced in the result by Auckland people, the recent Carter-Messengor affair having engendered a suspicious feel ing in the public mind. The pre vious performances of both men _ havo already been referred to at length in our columns. Both men have defeated Albert White, who was, until recently, looked upon as the best oarsman in New Zealand. Hoars was beaten by Mes senger some years ago in a match in Austra lia. The rase to-day took place In Wel lington, and the following telegrams con earning it are to hand : —

WELLINGTON, this day. The champion sculling race will be rowed at tour o'clock this afternoon. The harbour at present is as smooth as a mill pond. Betting is slightly in favour of Hearn.

ANOTHER CARRIAGE ACCI DENT.

ANOTHER carriage accident of a serious nature occurred yesterday afternoon at Devonport. Tho vehicle in question is owned by Mr Hugh H. Lusk, and about five o'clock it left Devonport on its w»y to the lake. Master Hugh Lusk was driving, and the other occupants were Mr Lusk, two sons, and two daughters, making mix in all. After rounding the corner of Victoria Road, known as Dunne's, the horse suddenly shied, and the next moment the trap was over turned and ; the occupants thrown on to the roadway. Master Hugh Lusk, who is a lad of fourteen or fifteen, was precipitated a considerable distance, and as it w«s dis covered that he had sustained injuries of a serious nature, he was conveyed, o his grandfather's residence Fortunately Dr. Moore was in the district at the time, nnd ho was speedily in attendance. Tho right shoulder was found to have boen dislo cated by the force of the fall, and the patient was placed under the influence of chloroform while the bono was being re placed. Meantime, Dr Moore, seeing that he would not be able to spare sufficient time to give the sufferer the necessary at tention, requested that Dr Purchas be sent for, and in a short time he was also in attendance. In addition to the dis location of the shoulder, the boy was found to have sustained a fracture of the arm, and the bone was carefully set by the medical gentleman He is now doing as well as could be expected. The others escaped with slight injuries. Mr Lusk received a nasty bruise extending from the aacle to the thigh, while one girl had her chin crazed, and the wrist of the other was sprained. It was found that the boys, Will'e and Georgie, had not sustained a Bingle scratch. The buggy was considerably damaged by tho accideut. The cause of the unfortunate occurrence was two nose-bags which bad been left ly ing on the roadway by Mr Chester, and which frightened the horse and caused it to shy. Proceedings have been instituted against him by the police.

CENTRALISATION.

(To the Editor.)

=!in -Although people everywhere are becom ing much opposed to centratiation, yet our Go vornSTe showing strong tendencies that iect in England: '.'Many charges aro borno ei&er entirely or in fact by the exchequer of the country j but they are borne in such a way as not to contribute to economy, in such a way as to induce a great deal, and, as I think too much of central Interference or what is called rnntralisation in the Government, and rather to draw us away from the old Engliah institu ting which lies at the very root of them-^mely, the principlo that the local nowulation should have the management and coStrol of local affairs. But apart from that, the demand for assistance from the public ex rhrauer is not an unreasonable demand. Wo oroSting our attention to this matter with aU our energy, and wo hopo to bring it under the early attention of Parliament. I say the cariy afteXn of Parliament because we are obliged now, if wo speak of introducing aMthing; to speak with great reserve, inas much as yoti know that the Vms of ParUajnent Cve of kte been used for purposes the very reverse of those for whioh they were intended. They were intended for the purpose of promot ing and effecting such legislation. They.aro useafortho purpose of pi eventing any legisla tion at aE Wfien this defect is overcome, I don't know anything that will stond between us and the endeavours we intend to make to dea with these questions - Decentralisation, Local Government, the expenditure of loca^1 taxes in it £ too much to expect us to boar a further in creasl oftho evil.
