them; and not ba afraid of hard work, Tho toao&era o£ tho school and tho people of Pon souby hud great rimaon to bo gratified, for out of twelve eoholarnhlps offered for oom petition to tho Government sohool scholars throughout tho provincn, tho Ponßonby school had taken four—no loss than one-iblrd had been won by the boyn attending that Bchool. He was not certain whothor any othor school was In that high.position, but he was curtain that it would nnoeesltato a great deal of hard work by tho teachors and boys for such school to ba In tho proud position in whloh Ponsonbjr was at the present time. There were other priras to bo given, and these wore the first-class certificates (or good attendance. Throe of tha pupils had not beon ansont a single day during the school year, while twelvo others had not been absent inoira than five times. The speaker painted out that thoso Who attendod regularly had a great ftdvantago over tho othora who were !eBB fre quent in their attendance, and ho considered that tho mothors of the flftenn objldron lv question deserved tho highost credit indeed for Booing that their chlldron wore sent resrmorly to sohool. Nothing wus more dis couraglng to a toachor than to find tho scholars coining Into and Irrogularly, and it should be tho aim of parents to assist tbo instructors of their young oups as for as lay in their |power in this roapoct. He recommended tho pupils to ba rognlar in their attendance and regular at work. Thoj should bo pnnctual, always cheerful ant lively,, and should always mak<> a point of arriving on the piny ground a quarter of an hour Deforo tho opwilng of the Bchoor. Mr Boardman then called uoorgo Crickshank to receive hlB certificate, and the £a worth of books, prosentod by Mr W. Swaneon. and in doing bo oonKratulated him on the fact that he had obWnod 670 marks out of a possible 920. It was a hi*h average indeed, being noarly soven-i inthß. The boya appeared to bo evon in thofr attainments. Master Unza having obtained 813 morks, Mantnr Jenklnß Oil, and Master Bloinilold C 33. Mr Boardman then mado tho presentations of certificates and packagos of books to tho boys, and hoped it would not be tho last eilbrt thoy would make to gain prizes. .After handing the good attendance certificates to tho children who had gained them, Mr Boardman moved a vote of thanks to Mr B. Bnlioy a1 d tho teachers for tho highly oredltable position thoy had maintained in tho recent ex amination, Tho vote was passed by acclama tion. Mr Bailey returned thanks on behalf of hlrneolf and teachers. It was gratlf > ing to know that I'onsonby had taken an enviable position in the scholarships examination, but he was not sure that tho bost way to guage the progress ot the tohool was by the success of tho bost scholars. He did not desire to sail nnder false colours, and he thought they could only test their progress by the Standard Kxamtnations, which brouitht out the rank and file, and tried the dullard us well as the olever pupil. The bulk of tho work in the Instruction of tDe backward and more stnpld scholars bad fallen upon tho assistant teachers, and it was gratifying indeed to know that ho was supported by snoti an oxcollont and efficient staff. Before concluding, Mr Bailey a&id ho hardly knew that ho was entitled to the credit of four scholarships. Master uazo came to the sohool eighteen months ago from Beres ford-Btroot Sohool, whom Mr Harrison was absent,' tbrouga Dines?. Ho had beon well grounded before, ho came, and there faro ho did well in the examination. Uist year, ho obtained a certificate and this year a scholarship. Mr Bailey seld ho did not, like some other teaotaers, get to gether tho best pupils and make it his special business to take scholarships. Tho whole of his time was taken np with various school arrangements, and the boys had thcef ore to work hard by themselves if they do- Biied to succeed in tho provincial examination. ThOBO boys who had gone np last time wont to the Public Library in their spare hoars, and read books which ho suggested, and this as sisted them vory rimtorimily. He concluded by thanking those who bad favoured them with their presonoo that day. —Mr Bondman, on behalf of the committee, then taanked tho headmaster, Mr Bailey, and tho other teaobera i Of tho tohool, viz., Mrs J. Simpson, Missos M, MuclCay, K.K. Bennet, K. Kulahaw, H. Simpson, M. Mclvor. C. Smith. B. MoLood. M. A. Clarke, X, Gaze, K. Fielder, and Messrs W. J. Brown, and if. W. Kysh.-On tho motion of Mr T.

DEPUTATIONS TO THE PREMIER.

WANTED-A FLAG STATION,

A DEPUTATION consisting of Messrs Martiu and. Wallace waited upon the Premier this morning for the purpose of pressing upon him the desirability of crcctiug a flag station on the Kaipara line of railway be tween Moniingeidc and Mount Albert. The gentlemen pointed out that ;\ com paratively large population was located between the two places, and that in winter time especially the inconvenience of travel ling or taking goods to cither of the present Btations was severely felt. The Premier, in reply, eaid that he could make no promises. He wnei anxious to promote, the convenience of tbc travelling public by every reasonable means, but be could not consent to sanction any railway stopping-places beyond' those that were absolutely necessary. He would, however make enquiries into this matter, and ascer tain what could be done,

The deputation then thanked the hon, gentleman and withdrew.

HONUA.-ROAD WORKS. A deputation from the Hunua Highway Board, consisting of Mr J. IS. Hay (chair man), Mr Solomon Cosscy, sen., and Mr George Hirst, waited npoa the Premier for the purpose of obtaining monetary assist ance for the repair of one of the roads. Mr Hay explained that three or four mouths ago, gome landslips took place on the roads over the hills, and that as the Board had no funds wherewith to under take its repair it had remained ever since in au impassable state. The Premier remarked that the Board then was in pretty much the same position | as the Government, for they had do founds either.

Mr Cossey mentioned that the settlers paid a rate of Is in the £1, but that this only yielded £ 110 per annum, which waa not sufficient for ordinary requirement!'. Mr Hay, in answer to a question, said that £150 would be required to make tho road passable,. He also considered that Hunna was entitled to some consideration, as the neighbouring district of Opaheke had been aided in a similar way a short time ago. The Premier promised to have enquiry made into the matter with a view of ascer taining what could be done. Mr Hirst then ventilated a private grievance. He had bought some land with the right of access of it through some ad • joining, but this right had lately lapsed, and he was quite isolated, having to get to his place over the property of a Mr Rhodes, who would not sell for less than £200, and who at any moment might deny him the privilege that was now on-joyed. The Premier said he could hold out no hope ot tho Government interfering in a private matter of this kind. If they did, they might bo overwhelmed with similar applications. If the proposed road would afford access to any confiscated land, of course, they might be inclined to do some thine;.

Mr Hirst and Mr Cosscy pointed oat that it would give access to about 60,000 acres confiscated land. The Premier promised to investigate the matter. ONEEUNGA MATTERS. The Mayor of Onehunga (Mr Geo. Ccd lin), and Cr. Fleming then interviewed tho Premier with reference to the maintenance of that portion of the Great South Koad which lies within the borough of Uno hunga.

The Mayor said that the intention waa to raako application for a portion of the tolls levied upon the road, the greater proportion of "which the Onehunga people paid. Through the suspension of the Counties Act in Eden, the .application had to be made to tho Government, but under other circumstances it would have been made to the Council. About two miles oif the Great South Koad lay " inside the .borough, but there was no money available for expenditure upon it, as about 14 or 15 miles of by-roads had to be kept in repair, and these absorbed the rates. The Govern ment received the tolls, and therefore should, give some assistance. £200 had been given last year, and it had been economically | expended. After some discussion, The Premier said that tho whole of the money derived from tho tolls on this road had already been appropriated, but that as the next financial year commenced in Apuil the Government might, shortly after that time be enabled to make a small grant for the purpose. In the meantime the Borough Council might advance the Bum. Mr Whitakcr cautioned the deputation not to rely too confidently upon Dcxt year s tolls, as Parliament next session might abolish the wholetoll system. The Mayor replied that in that case tho people would bo will to tax themselves for the purpose. He then pointed out that there was a steep and dangerous cutting at the railway Btatioo, opposite tho Borough Council offices, and that it was only protected at present by a dilapidated wooden fence. If tho Government would build a retaining wall the Council would undertake to make a proper footpath round it. Xhe Premier said that he would look iuto the matter and ascertain the necessity of the work and the expense involved. . Mr Whitaker said that with regard to the reserve for the cemetery, rifle range, and recreation ground, upon which he had already been spoken to, if the necessary assurances were given him that the required sub-division had been satisfactorily made, he would see that a Crown Grant was issued at once.

This concluded the interview. OAKLEY'S CREEK. Mr J. A. Tole, M.H.R., waited upon the Premier this morning for the purpose of ar ranging tor an interview from residents of Mount Albert and the Whau concerning

the nuisance caused by Gittos's tramway at Oakley's Creek. •

As the Premier would have no time at his command after to-day he requested Mr Tole to state the grievance. ' This Mr Tole did, after explaining that the interests of a large and long-established industry were involved. He showed that the residents near Oakley's Creek, and the officials of the Lunatic Asylum, had com plained again and again* on sanitary grounds of the nuisance caused there by the tannery, and in supporting these com plaints, he tendered copies of reports from Dr. Young, l)r. Aickin, Mr Heigh way (local Inspector of Nuisances), as well as a leading article from the Evening Star; ; The Premier expressed the opinion that the local budiss had power to tike action in the matter, and it necessary legislative authority could be obtained compelling them to take.action, or if thty lacked the power, to confer it upon them. The interview proved satisfactory, and in all probability something will be done in the mutter, Thorc were no further intorvitws during the riav

SAILING RACE.

A race between the large open sailing boats Kiwi and Sis for £10 a-sitlo took placo this afternoon, the course being as follows:—From tbe end of Qaeen-street Wharf.round tho pilot schooner's moorings oif the reef, round the training schooner, round the upper hulk, finishing off tbo wharf. The Sis, which was in iho best trim, was in tbe hands of Alf Warbrick, while Ike Hunt had charge of the Kiwi. Captain W. If arquhar officiated aa starter, and sent the boats off punctually at 1 o'clock. The Sis had tho advantage at starting, and got first underway. They kept very close together until roundiug the North Head, when the Kiwi appeared to have secured a slight lead.

When the boat's showed round the North Head again the Kiwi bad a good lead, and when the Mission Schooner was rounded she was lmin. SOsccs. ahead of her oppon ent. The westerly wind whioh prevailed gave them a dead beat up tho harbour. Owing to a boating accident the Sis gave up the race Defore rounding the hulk, per mitting the Kiwi (which had picked up several half-drowned men) to finish alone,

The bußhman, Thos. Charles, who was admitted to the hospital suffering from the effects of an accident suatained at Whanga poua, had his arm amputated at the socket yesterday by UrPbilsoD. He had a good night and is doing well, The competition of the Bifle Association for Mr Beck's Cup and other prizes is taking place this afternoon. The runs are 200, 400 and 500 yards, five shots at each raugc. Major Denom is i* cnargo, and there are forty-four competitors. At twenty minutes to tbreo the firing for the first range was not completed. The P« n«* pal scores at that time were —McLeod, 18; ■y. if airs, 18; Soall, 17; Woolley, 17; W. H. Haszard, 17; Payne, 17. A puffy breeze is blowing from the right.

BOAT ACCIDENT.

About half-past three o'clock this after noon Bailey's small open-sailing boat Elsie was suddenly seen ■to sink in the middle of the harbour, ofi the Queen street Wharf. Immediately five heads were observed above water, Several boats were near at hand and made for the swimmer?. Ike Hunt, in the Kiwi, was the first on the scene, and succeeded in taking in three of the men within a few minutes of the accident. Two others were less for ttlnateandhad a very narrow escape of losing their lives. Both wore under water and it was only by the greatest exertions of several other crews which had come up that tbfey were got out of the water;

NEW NIHILIST PLOT AGAINST THE CZAR.

WITHIN, the past ,few days the Russian police, without allowing the fact to become, publicly known, have arrested a consider* able number of persons in St, Petersburg, Chatkow, Tcherni(?eff, and elsewhere, charged with complicity in a new Nihilist plot. Among the prisoners are the chief of the police of an important provincial city, two daughters of a high State official, and two Jewish merchants, besides a number of students and certain active mem bers of the Nihilist conspiracy. The new plot was of an- extraordinary and almost fantastic character. It was dc» cided to cause a kind of balloon or flying machine to ascend near the palace at Gatschioa. Tho balloon was to cany it quantity of dynamite «nd explosive fire balls,, together with appliances which would , secure that the balloon should fall within the palace yard, when it would explode and set the palace on lire. la the coufusion it was intended to secure the person of < lh<s : Czar, as well as the other members of the Imperial family who might be present. The machinery seized t>y the police shows that everything was in readiness for the execution of this plot. Nor is it likely that its realization wonld have been frustrated but for the temerity of a younger member of the secret league, who wrote an anonymous letter to the Czar, informing him that Gatschina would shortly be burnt to tho ground, and that he would soon be a prisoner in the bands of the Nihilists, This letter was handed to tho police, who soou obtained a clue to the mombcrs and head quarters of the new plot, the first arrests being the two Jews, who Were fouiid to be providing the materials required by the conspirators.

A MAN DECAPITATED.- WILFUL MURDER.

In rcferenco to the inquiry on tho remains oi a man who was found at Deep Lead, Victoria, last, there is no longer a doubt but that the unfortunate man was murdered. Tho doctor's,' eTidence shows that the head was cut cleanly off the body by some sharp instrument, supposed to be a tomahawk, as the mark of tho blade in the ground was found at the neck. The theory at present is that the man was first shot and then de prived of his head in the manner stated., so as to render identification impossible. It is thought, however, that tho head may have been thrown down some of the deep shafts in the neighbourhood, and a search will bo made with drags; if this is,riot successful a more thorough search will be instituted. The police arc anxious that as far as possible the description of the man should be made public, so that those who know anyone who has been missing may communicate with them. It is supposed that the deceased wore a long reddish beard, as a portion of it has been found on the neck where the decapitation wus effected. Dr A. Bennett thinks the body must have boon lying there two months, and the age of the murdered man had been between thirty-five and fifty years. Hi» height, judging by the part measured from the neck to the heels, was, as nearly as possible, sft 11 Jin, and the remains show him.tohttvobc'Gn a man of Unusual strength. The police have telegraphed to all the country stations in Victoria, and arc sparing no effoft to elucidate the mystery. Mr Clcmcs, J.P.»!who held the inquiry, rccom* mended the Government to oiler a substan tial reward for the discovery of tho mur derer.—" Pleasant Creek News," January 19.

Are th» public too patient or too apathetlo to obaerva the Iniquity of plaoing so maoh power and authority into tho hands ot oztrome par tisans, Ignoring tho claim of moderate men from having a voloo in the matter] Such an at tack on tho the privileges of the majority of tho people surely demands some attention. Mr Joseph Newman. In his private and builnens capacity, is no doubt to be respected, but has he the attribute to govern a community! I fear Buch power In so prejudiced a person will bo disastrous, not only to the temporance came, but to the majority of the peoplo, should they tamely submit to snob, an infringement. There is one good to be anticipated in thla strugglo for power, viz, the exposure ot tho narrowness of tha views of a biassed portion ot the temperance tickets. Most people are aware that a teetotaller is forbidden to function tho ule or oe« of stimulants in any way whatsoever! How then, can Mr Newman and his brethren, oonsistentir guide unbiassed a governing body provided by the Government to determine tho looßlltr, &c., that shall be devoted to the ente r talnment of the travelling public.
