Building Permit.—Messrs Dunningham and King's renowed uppllcatton tor a periut to erect two cottages in Nelson-street, and to lay off a right-of-way, was the first matter that came up /or consideration. It -will be remembered that the former application was made after tho ereo tion uf tno coit-goa tvas c juimoncj,i, aiid that tbe applloaots were in consequence proeecntnd and fined for a breach of .by-law. The application hssjußG baen ■ one wed, and the surveyor now reported that the oottngea were 100 foot off No'son-street, that one cf the honses was partly created, and the blocks of the other laid, bat that no work bad been done since Messrs Dannlngham & King had been sued. The Bolioltor also stated hla opinion that the Council oouid order tho removal of the bulbing*, bat is to the mora fact that they were erected without a permit, that any Court, if .it wua shown that the buildings were) according to tbe regulations, and that notice had been subsequently glv-m, would order their removal; (sat the Council would ba compelled to grant a permit if the application wrus within tbe building regulations; and that he did not thins: the right-of-way provided for was one within the meaning of the Act, bat that if it wore used by the tenant of both oottagos it would be such — In answer to a question by Cr Montague, the Surveyor stated that the building was in accor dance with the regulations.—lt was agreed to recommend the Council to grant the permit for the erection of the two cottages, provided aeparate entrances are made. übainaqk.—The petition of residents in Free man's Bay,praying foTsome system of drainage in their district, and pointing out that the pre valent bickness of the last eighteen months was in a large measure attributed to the ab.ence of any effective means of carrying off the sewage was naxt nonsldered. iThe Surveyor reported that the cost of a thorough drainage for the streets mentioned in the petition would be £1,100, but that there was a main drain in Drake-street, and Vernon-street was drained, so that £200 expended on tbe drainage of the cross streets would meet present requirements.—lt was resolved that tho othor streets be dealt with in the same manner as Vernon-strtiel.

Cirr Maßkkt *ikb.—Theleßßee of the City Market, Mr Ulator, asked, as compensation for lois sustained throaghnon ocoupatlonotatallaln the eouih wingof the building, while the damageß caused by the fire in May were being repaired, that a month's allowance oil rent might be Kran tod to him.-T.hiu allowance wad stated to amount to £00.—it was agreed that the Council should be recommended to appoint a sub-com mittee to Inquire into the whole matter.

UANTEHBimy JOOKIY CLUB SPUING MEETING (November 7tu,Bth. and9th).—Acceptances C J.O. and nominations tor Canterbury Cup, AiißUit lut; Roneral entries, O=tob nr 30tb.

The New Zealand racing season of 1832 83 will be inaugurated by the Hawke's Bay Jockey Club Spring Meeting on October 3rd, the programme for whichf Has been issued. There are six events, viz.: Hawke's Bay 1 Guineas, 1 mile, of 105 boys (closed); Han dicap Hurdle Race, of GO soys, about 2 miles; Spring Handicap, of 200 soys, second horse to receive 25 soys from the siakes, 1£ mile; Trial Plate, of 30 soys, J mile; Maiden Plate, ot 50 soys, 1J milo ; Spring Handicap,.of 75 sots, second horse to receive 15 soys from the stake, § mile. Nominations for the Hurdles (1 soy), Spring Handicap (2 soys), and Flying Handicap (1 soy) close with the secretary on Tuesday next, 25th July, and I hope some of the Auckland stable 3 will be represented in the list.

The Pakuranga Hounds met laat Satur day at Smith's corner, Mangere Road, but, owing to the wet, the races took placa on Mr McLaughlin's scoria road. There were no spills, and the sport, considering the weathor, was good. Several members of the club met at Howick on Wednesday, and several short runs eventuated. The hounds meet to-morrow at McLaughlin's.

The fact that the Victorian Racing Club has decided to charge bookmakers a license fco for the privilege of " laying the odda " on tho Fleuiinfjton course, and which ex ample has been followed by several other small Australian clubs, gives grounds for the belief that our New Zealand institu. tiona will take into consideration the advisability of,jntroducin» the new method of raising the wind. Perhaps this is scarcely a fair way of putting It, as I have every reason for believing that the V.X.C. have not been actuated by a desircl te accumulate " filthy lucre;" the fee Demg demanded merely for the purpose of affording a sort of guaraateo to the public that the licensed metallicians are not "wclahers." Tho race-courses of Vic toria and New South \Vale3 swurm with parasitos of the type last named, and tho plan adopted by the Racing Clubs is perfectly necessaiy aud justifiable. In this colony, fortunately, "welshing'l is almost unknown, and though the local bookmakers are decidedly "one-horse " in comparison with the leviathans of the Mel bourne and Sjdney rings, their integrity is undoubted. For this reason and others equally obviou», I do not think the New Zealand Clubs should tax our pencillers ; when the public interest demands it, it will be time enough for them to act in the direc tion indicated. Witting on nutters cognate to the, above, "Wizard," in the "Town and Country Journal," says: — "Unfortunately, however, with the in creased amount of speculation on all the leading racing events of the season, so has the number of bookmakers of every class increased. This in itself would be a gain to the. speculative public, as the competition thereby engendered would tend to induce the metallicians to lengthen their prices • but unfortunately a large pro portion of the recruits belong to the lowest strata of society, and the result is that on a MC3 day ' the novice ' can hardly distin guish between (he respectable and solvent bookmaker ;iml tho erstwhile 'monte player,' or ' skittle-alley sharp,1 who prowls about tho saddling paddook, book in hand, ready to ' welth' whoever he can."

AN OVERDUE SCHOONER.

The schooner Cathona, which left Dunedin for Auckland on June 20th, has not since been hesrd of. Fears are entertained for her safety, several vessels from the Sooth having left after that date, and made much shorter passages. The Cathona has a cargo of Southern produce for this port.

THE TE AROHA STABBING CASE.

Leydon Committed for Trial.

(BY TELEGRAPH.—OWN CORRESPONDENT).

THAMES, this day. The hearing of the charge against John Leydon for stabbing O'Keefe, at Te Aroha, was concluded last night. Dr Huxtable depose! that the wounds, surgically-speak ing, were not dangerous, They did not appear to penetrate deeper than the ribs. O'Keefe and others described the affray. James Goard deposed that, a couple of hours before the stabbing took place, Leydon complained that he had been badly treated, He took out a knife to cut tobacco, and, passing his hand along the Hade, remarked, " The first man that lays a band upon me, I'll put this through his b— iiiatt," Ac* cused was duly committed for trial at the next sitting of tin1 Supreme Court, Bail was allowed—accused in £500, aud three sureties of £150.

A WARNING.

The penalties under the new Licensing Act will, no donbt, deter many of the most respectable hotelkeepers from resorting to practices that, under the old regime, were' by long estgblished practice, apt to be re garded as legitimate tricks of the trade. It will interest many of oar readers if we give the following case from tjie Melbourne "Argus " in a prosecution under the Trade Marks Act: —

Atthe Dtetrict Court, before JJr Pantos., P.M.j and four Jas tloos, Kxoiee-offloer Kattruy pro ceeded against Geor«e Melbourne, licensee of the London and Carnarvon Hotel, pn two summonses oharging him under the Ith section of the Trade Marks Statute wih intend ing to defraud by oxpooimj J.U.R.Z. gin for sale in a aohnappa bottl". bear ins tho label unit trade mark of J, B. Wolfe and Co.; and under the sth si otion of the same Aot 'With wrongfully and wilfully using the trade mark of J, B Wolfe withont lawful anthority. MrPureeaappeared on behalf of the Customs Department to prose cute, and Air Gillet defended. Mr Purves stated that tbe prosecution was instituted by the Go vernment for the porpoße of proteoting the pub io against imposition and. fraud whloh were icing uraetiaacl in dozens of bnalneas plaoos 3jr selling inferior and diluted liquors under well-known brands or trade marks. It was this sort of thing; [that assisted mote than anything else to fill the lunatic asylums and gaols, and the practice should be severely punished and promptly suppressed. In this oaße, J.DKZ, probably of inferior deeorlptlon. was placed in schnapps bottles and Bold to cus tomers at 6d per nobbier as gennlne schnapps. [t was ft paltry imposition, but doubtless proved a source of large profit to unprincipled persons who deceived the public, The schnapps bottles which cost the public 8s 6d eaah conr talned II good-sized nobblers, whloh at 0d each meant 7s. In the face of this, tho imposition baoame more contemptible than ever. Herbert V. Kattray, Hjcoise-offlcer, stated that he re cently visited defendant's hotel lv company with Excise-officer Koohe, and. alter acqnalntlng him with his objeot, he asked if he had any schnapps. There were no bottles of sohnapps on tho shelves of the bar, but ho caw a number of bottles of' colonial "gin; labelled as having been bottled'by defendant, who immediately afterwards produoed a bottle of Echvaiipofrom aootner, where it appeared to have been hidden away. The bottle was cov ered with the trade marks and labels of U. Wolfe's rchiadam Aromatio Schnapps, and on tasting its poatents he found'it was a spirit which had neither the flavour nor strength of schnapps. Heakad the defendant what the bottle contained, and he replied, " They have putsome JDKZ into It, ss the supply is running snore" Witnnes said, ' Come, you mean that the bottle is too ama'l for the price, and you oould no i affa dto sell it for 6d g nobbier." Tip defendant replied, "t.'h, I sea joa know all about ir." At this stage a consultation was held between Mesfrs Purves and Gillot. After a few moments' delay the former informed the Benoh that he had consented to withdraw the prosecu tion under the 4th seotlon, and to allow a fine of 208. with 42s oosts, being inflated in tho cute un der the 3th seotion. Mr Uillott said he accepted the oonCßflsion, but did not wbh it to be under stood that bis client pic aded guilty, Mr Pan ton intimated that the Benoh conld not be bound hv any sach bard and fast understanding. If tha defendant pleaded guilty the magistrates oould proooed and onive at a decision, but they M uld not aot In the way suggested at all. They would llstfin to whatever might be said, and then exercise their own independent judg ment. If i« were true, as M» Pnrye; had Bald, that this adulteration of good sDlrlt filled Jnnatip as* lams and gaols, he thouKht the very geavießtpenaltv should be inflioted. Mr Purves pointed out that it was aot bte wish to dlotate to the Beach, but he merely offered a hint as to the way in whioh the matter mightWottlsd., bat in future hei would, if retaiued for the prosecution in such pases, presa for the heaviest penalties; he wonld never again allow euob a matter to ta BO fastly Bott led. This announcement was mode so pal there might be no mistake in fntore. and no hoped that offenders would take warning Mr Glflott oonsented to aocopt the deo talon'of tha Benoh, whatever It might be. The, Benoii thereupon Inflicted a fine of 20s, with 42a cogta.

DROWNING IN THE HAR BOUR.

Man Lost from the Cutter Triad,

A MAX named John Pitcorn, employed as a seaman on board the.cutter Triad,o^ned by Messrs Henderson and Macffarlaue, met his death by drowning in the harbour to day under most peculiar circumstance?. The Triad, in charge of the master, Fred. Cirlow, and with Pitcorn on board, left toe Railway Wbarf shortly before eleven o'clock this morning for the purpose of bringing a load ot ballast from Brown's Island. When the vessel got about la midstream, Pitcotn asked the master of the vessel whether he would light the fire for the purpose of making some coffee, and was told to postpone the operation until .they reached Brown's Island. Pitcorn replied " all right," and at that moment slipped bis footing on the cutter's deck and fell overboard. His com panion, Fred Cnrlow, was the only other man on board, and he knew that if he left the cutter she would probably come to some hurt, the wind being very strong from the S.W. He did not hesitate, however, but launched the diugy, and went to the man's assis tance. He had to pull for a short distance, as the cutter's progress had not been j stayed, and this occupied a few minutes. I Pitcorn kept above water until the dingy was within about twenty yards of him, when he suddenly sank, and did not rise again. Finding all efforts to rescue tlio man useless, Carlaw turned his atten tion to the cutter and saw Unit he could not possibly come up with her at the rate of speed she was going. He called out to one of the ferry steamers passing at the time to look after her, but for some reason at present unexplained, tbe sailing vessel was allowed to continue her course for some time longer, and consequently went aground on the northern shore, between Shoal Bay and Brick Bay. Tho accident was observed from the vrDarf, and Captain McKenzio (Deputy Hnrbour-master),Mes«rs Tucker aad Uellaby, Ike Hunt and Tom Barren, the watermen, put off in boats. They found the cutter ashore as previously indicated, and got her off without much difficulty. The master of the vessel was subsequently picked up, much exhausted by his efforts to save first the seaman and second the cutter, and the vessel was sailed over to this Side of the harbour and softly anchoied. The man Pitcoru, who was drowned, leaves a witc and three children who reside in Hobson-strcot.

BOARD OF EDUCATION.

The fortnightly meeting ot tbe Board of Education took place this afternoon, thoro being present: Messrs W. P. Moat (chair man), K. Luißhley, S. Luke, F. L. Prime, and T>. Goldie.

FIEES IN SCHOOLS.-Mr Laishley en. quir«d what were the arrangements in vogue for fires in the schools under the Board's control. — The Chairman replied that in the majority of the public schools, fires were provided, the matter being looked after by the Committees, but that the Girls' High School was not so provided. —Mr .Laishley contended that tho physical culture of the school children was quite as much the duty of the Board as their intel lectual training and moral well-being, and, that being to, he considered that the Board should see that fires should be provided in every school during the winter months. It seemed to him a case of great neglect that the Girls' High School should have been lelt so long unprovided for in this respect, and be considered it high time that steps were taken to repair that neglect.—The Inspector should have represented the matter sooner,—The Chairman stated that the Inspector of Schools (Mr O'Sullivan) had a certain amount of delicacy in visiting the Girls' High School, seeing tbat the Inspector- General (Mr Habens) was the visiting In spector,—Mr Laishley said tbat I Hi* dis closed a rather startling state of thing.", seeing that au educational establishment for whoso management and good conduct they were responsible, was under the inspection only of an officer who very rarely indeed visited the district. If they had the responsibility of it he thought they should also insist upon its periodical visitation by their own inspector.—The Chairman said that in matters of the kind drawn atten tion lo by Mr Laishley—viz., the want of fires—a complaint had always led to tpeedy action on the part of the Board. They could hardly go further than that.—Mr Laisbley took quite a different view of the matter. He thought they should not wait until complaints were made to them, but rather by vigilant inspection and prompt action endeavour to. afford no ground for complaint. If tbp Girl'1 High School wei.e to remain under their control, he did not tee why Mr Heath should be allowed to continue in a etato of semi-independence and immunity from inspection, as at pre sent.—Mr Prime moved that the Head master of the Girls' High School should be written to for the purpose of as certaining if tjiore was any complaint re want of fires. -Mr Luke seconder}.— Mr Laishley moved as an amendment, "That, inasmuch as it is desirable that the physical well-being of the children should equally be attended to as their in tellectual and'moral welfare, the' Secretary be directed at once to enquire it firee ore provided in tbe schools under our control, and if the Executive find that fires are not provided they be empowered to have the same rectified."—Mr Uoldie seconded this motion, as it applied to the public schools as well as the Girls' U jgb. School whose wants he considered less clamant upon them, as it was a semi-priyata institution. —The motion was withdrawn in favour of the amendment, and it therefore passed nem con.

Domb Valley.—The Chairman anj nounced that information having been ro ceived that half the roof of the Dome Valley School had been blown awavj during tbejlate heavy gales, the Surveyor had gose thither to report upon the drainage. Power was given the Kkccutive to order the nece jury repairs to lip made. Gbafton KoAD. —A Jetter was received from Mr Good, complaining of the drainage of the Graf ton Boadschoo'f —The Secretary was instructed to write to t-he Committee^ <itd refer them to the former letter pa the subject. Pollok.—Nr Luke give in the following notice of motion:-" That the pretious resolutions of the Board re Pollok be rescinded, and that the whole question of school accuminqdutiou at »'ollok be recon sidered at next meeting of Board."

Madngataperb.—Mr Hawkipß wrote stating that be did not intend to send hjs children to the school while tfre prespnt committee remained in office, up that the teacher would only have about ten pupils to teach.—lt was resolved to forward the letter to the school, with a reminder that the compulsory clauses of the Act could be enforced.—The Insr/ectpr expressed his satisfaction at this decision, (j,s many com mittees had to encounter similar obstacles.

Mount Hobson.—The purchase of v bell for the boys' school was sanctioned. Newton Wkst. —An applipation was made for the introduction of gas to tbe school,—Declined.^-A request for a grant in aid of the library was deferred.

An extraordinary genpral meeting of the shareholders of the Waihi G.M.C. is being held this afternoon. The following is a resume of the 'proceedings up to three oclock:—Mr C. B. Stone who presidedl] intimated that the tmsiness was the con sideration of th.c finanpinl condition of thg company. At thaf point, one of the directors, Mr Hichol, asserted that certain notices of motion—qne of which called on the directors to' resign—could be considered,' The chairman ruled the notice" of motion, re the resigna tion, S,S worded, could not legally considered. Tbd financial statement' was then read. It showed :—Receipts : Bank overdraft, £780 Os lid. Expenditure : By mine, £579 15s 8s; battrry, £88 14s 8d ; generalexpenses, £.11110s 7d. ?»tal,s7Bo Os lid. The statement having been race jvod and adopted very considerable dist jjuisalan ensued regarding the notices tabled by shareholders. Finally Mr Porte r moved and Mr Yaughan seconded "That the dia roctors bo requested to resign," While this was under discussion the Chairman said he was ignorant of any donaplaint against the! dlrcoto's. He then made a statement to tbe following effect conceroiug the mine i —The battery ans C3fie b^ing somewhat deceptive is upt ypt out of t|]e hand? of tl\e contractor, whp will not be paid balance of money due until it is in efficient order.

KUMARA, this day. EARTHQUAKE.

A sharp shock of earthquake was ex perienced here about 3 45 this morning, lasting a few seconds.

An Inquest on the body qf the man Young, -Who died from intemperance under ' circumstances stated in yesterday's issue, was proceeding this afternoon at the For rosters' Arms Hotel before Dr Philson and a jury of 12. Serjeant Gamble represented the police .No new facts were elicited up to the time at whiph we wept tp preEs; I Jtjs a singular fact that notwithstanding , the prevalent wet weather there has been a . complete absence of freshes in trash creeks,' j and some of the coastal mills are at a stand* still for the want of material to cut up.' j This is most unfortunate at a time when there is an unusually large local arid foreign ' demand for timber, and' unless ' thej ! supply improves within" fe\yi weeks, 'it is probable that' there will fee a ris.e of two or three shillings per ■ hundred feet in tbe price, Although t'ho downfall ci rain; is pretty steady, we understand that it is' aot heavy enough to cause a fresh, and therefore]! the logs cannot be brought down. Therp is. now a tendency towards. superseding the present creek tionveyanco
