SHOnrhand.—The Chaucellor laid ou the tablo a letter from Mr J. Brauazou, re lating to instruction in shorthand. Medical Curriculum.-The Com mittee brought up a supplementary report on this subject. Tnoy reported that they had considered certain RUggestiong con tained in a letter from Protestors Parker and Ilutton respecting the schedules for the University examinations, and rccoin meuded that^- arious alterations should be adopted.—l uO Senate resolved itself into committee for the consideration of the report, and the recommendations relating to Junior Scholarships, B.A. Pass Examina tion, and the Honours and M. A. Examina tions were agreed to. Wellington Und»rgr*duates.— The Committee on the case of the Wellington Undergraduates |recommended as follows : —1. That the junior scholar referred to in the Chancellor's report, having been unable to obtain the necessary instruction at Wel lington College for pawiug the first section of hia IS. A. examination, should receive the sum due om account of his scholarship, but only up t.o the timo when he should have presonAed him.elf for the examina tion. %■ That the undergraduates referred to in tjhe same report should be deemed to be undergraduates exempted from attend aucn im Icctu'fi.sl. and+'iat they should b •etempted iunuer irom keeping terms anu | passing annual examinations at an alliliated institution ; and that provision be made by the University for their aunual examina tions. 3. Tflkt the said undergraduates be distinguished in the Calendar as unat tached.— Profeiaor Sale objected to the aecond clause. They had not yet done away with tho rule providing that all undergraduates must have their names •on the books of affiliated institutions.— Mr Habens did not see tho advisability of iiavin" a class of undei'£raduate3 distin guished as unattached. Jfo morcd that all words after " lectures " in clause 2 be omitted.—The amondmeut waa lO3t.—On cC'ause 3, Mr Habeas moved, as an amend ment, that the word " unattached " be omitted, and the words "Students of Well ington College, until such time as their names be placed on the books of other college?," be subrtituted. — Proles-.or Shand seconded tho amendment.— Piofessor Sale objected to putting in the mame of a College that had no existence. Be would be willing to omit " unattached," for the purpose of leaving it bUnk.—Even tually the third clause wai withdrawn, and Dr. JKoseby moved in its place " That the cost of tho annual examination of the said undergraduates by the affiliated institution ax institutions on whose books their names may have been placed be[ borue by this University."—This was agreed to, and inserted a3 the third clause.—Tho report Was then adopted. , Medical Curriculum. — This Com mittee reported a} follows :—The Com luitteo are of opinion that the reasons which have hitherto caused tho Senate to delay the consideration of a Medical Curri culum are sufficiently modified to admit of further consideration of the matter by the following resolution passed by the Medical Council on April 18th. 1378 :-"(!) That under the existing Medical Act the Couicil has no power to enter Colonial Medical degrees in the Medical Register, but (2) in aa amending Medical Bill tae Couucil has given its approval to clauses that will provide lor due registration of Foreign and Colonial Pr&ctitioiiers." It seems to the committee that the acconi pan) Ing papers embody euch a scheme both of Preliminary and Professional Examina tions as they can confidently recommend to tho Scn»to. With regard to the Preliminary Examinations, they are aub stantially the same as the Matriculation Examination, with tho exception that in Algebra Quadratics me included, and in Geometry three instead of two books of Suclid aro required. To obviate aDy •difficulty on the score of expanse to tho University, it is recommended that in thosn subjects oxtra questions for medical Students be added to the Matricnlation papers. Tho same papers will suffice in elementary science and biology. Should any extra expenso be neceusary it might be met by exacting fees from candidates. — The report vws considered iv committee, and various alterations in the subjects adopted. Course in Dentistry. —The Com mittee on this subject tubmittod tho fol lowing report:— Tho Committee recommend the annexed proposal to the Senate tor approval as regards the conduct and scope of tho examinations. The only other matter that under the Act dorolves on tho Menato is to prescribe the form of certificate which shall enable the Registrar to enter the names of candidates on the Register. It is recom mended that the following form be adopted ; —We hereby certify that A.B. has duly passed the examinations prescribed to candidates seeking registration under the Dentistry Act.—Proposals—(l) That prior to commencing the study of dentistry can didates shall pass an examination in genaral knowledge equivalent to that known in our schools 83 tho "sixth standard," or shall produce evidence of having passed the tixtk standard. Such examination might te conducted by an Inspector of Schools under the Education Act. 2. That candidates shall ecrve an appren ticeship of three years to some dentist re cognised under the Dentistry Act. 3. That at iho termination of such apprenticeship candidates shall pass an examination bcfot.es the Board of Examiners UDder the Den tistry Act, 1880, on the following sub] jects : - Dental Anatomy and Physio logy, Dental Pathology and Therapeu tics, and Manipulation, including a sufficient knowledge of Metallurgy. \4) The addition to the Board of Kxarainera of a skilled dentist, who would assist tho Board in this department of the examina tion. It has been suggested that the Senate should make provision to prevent the aisumption by dentists of unauthorised titles. This, however, does not f»ll within tho functions either of the University or of the Bxamining Board, and is sufficiently provided for in the uentistry Act,—Tho re port was considered and adopted

MEASUREMENT RULES FOR OPBN

BOATS AND YACHTS.

(To the Hdltor).

Piit,-Before the Anokland Rogitta of 1880 any sized bo»t ooald ontor in the open boat rao«B, and ahlfti.g ballast was permitted. An orll state was the result. In the Field, of 7th January Ja«t, 0. P.

Thisthaboatbunders endeayourefl, if pomlble. to. effect. Rival builders year'after year before 188 p. bad waited to tee what kind ot boat their opponent waa going to torn out In order to scheme one of more Bower. Healthy competition Buffered bat bitter nteleaa rivalries flourished; and monshosftieß. not fait ppen boata, were the TOtcomE In* the Regatta of p.

The boat-builders had In view, not only to foster a healthlercomoßtltioa In boat-bnilding. bnt aIBO to reoomnjend precautiona against lore of llfeat ourregauas; they therefore ad vised the Ks sStta KttTmfttee to allow wash-atrakes and direct the ballast to be floored over and eimind down. The extreme dimensions in the Auckland Regatta Club's regulation 31. for the two olassoa, were thoao recommended by the boat-butldars. Thqy were not such ldlota a?to advias the smaller reatrlctiona they well knew all Mate would be built up to the bare inch?- these were passed at "a fullest Sin of the club." Here I may remark hat the rofjotity of the subscribers to a recatta (who are. thorefore. the members of the Club) in general meeting assembled, are Sot competent to- paßa resolutions on tochni- SalltiesTU should leave these in the bands of the committee, which ought to compriße men capable to doal with suoh matters. Now, who were the™ boatbnllders, and what extreme dlmOTsionß did they favour? They were, I bilfem all tha boatbulldera In Anokland except Mr B&lley, who was then considered an Ishmaelita. Mr Harrleon was not here. Tho resolutions which they Bent to the Auokland Regatta Club were signed by J. Blglow.jun.. J. G caw Janws Clare. Howson and Melville, fiwm bllver and J. Waymouth.

The extreme dimensions which thoy sent to the committee were, for boata, 20ft long. 6ft broad. SiSi sit 6in from gunwalo to lower edee of rabbet Tt midabip section. The rfeot of the rule has been moat beneficial, 2nd has tended more than any other thing done ?or years Past to improvo the style and Bhapp n? our ODOn boats.

Let own Ideaa " try to beat other boatß In the class, and show themselves to be o£ real vulue. Ideas to obtain unfair advantages should not bo en oonraged. Individually I have always advo cated Handicapping Into their olass any boats built before boatbaildora measurement was adopted by tho Auckland Regatta Club. That they aro 9hut out at Pon»onby this year i| not my doing nor wish. I would not extend tho favour to boats built alter the date of the adop tion, as the object for which the rule was passed oould not, unaer suoha oondltlon, be attained. As regards yaoht measurement.my fixed idoa ig that all the Waitemata Regatta Cluba should have a unifoim rule. Iho new one at Ponsonby ia the one paiaed last year by the Yaoht K»oing Association of Great Britain. It ia a small Improvement on their former one (whioti was the one in use here last year, see A.R.U. Regulations 30). aa it gives beam a little better chanco. '"Joroa" favourß tho measuring ot depth: but, against his oDlnlon I will put WaUon'B, the daslgner of Vanduara and of tho Madge, that went to Amprioa. Tho Glasgow correspondent of the New York Herald quotos Watson as Baying: "It ia a terribly dangerous, thing to tax depth, for dopth means safety." He quoteß Fife of Fairlie also, thus: "My proposal would bo to multiply length on waterline by extreme breadth, then by greatest draught of water, and divide by 200, and, to prevent the building of very shallow craft, nothing loas than threo-afths beam for draught of water." Fife, in other words, says " depth meanß safety. My preaont fixed idea inclines to favour Fife's propo sition, with this modification: that tho draught of water should be relative to tho longth, not to the baam. Just now tho measurement rules for yaohta aro receiving iho deopest attention amongst builders and yachts men all the world over. The subject Is a most difficult one, My fixed idoa has been, In a lottor to the "Now ZoaUnd Herald," supporting tho method first proposed, and still'favoured by Oixon Kemp, viz.: Squaro length multiply by beam, and dlvldo by 1,200; but I think it bettor for the Waitemata Clubs to follow "Y.K.A.," ospecUUr aa the Melbourne anil Clubß J'"v« dojv> ho.—l am, otc " j ".^AVMOuTn, Sen.

Bin,—ln Dr. Wright's report to the Parnell Boroueh Ckinnell, 17th Feb.. he, ref* rrino; to the preiODCO of faver amongst tho poor, makes tho remark " it behovoß us that we ahould do some thing to leison tho burthanof tho poor" WiU you allow me to suggest to the Oouucll ana other local boards that tho beat way of lessen ing fho bnrthan apon both rlpb. and poor, is to prevent their h*y'uK the fever amongst thorn. This can easily be done by all looal boards doing their duty, and strlotly enforcing theprovhlonj of The Pablio Hoalth Act, but mora eapooially seotions 27 and 37; and as fever is injurious to tho healtn of tho oommnnlty, and thei'flforo it logal nnlsanoe, attontlon should be given to seo tlona6B to 68 ; sections 81 to SBaljo dosorvß oloae study. If tho various looal boards would study these eeotlona, and rlcroroußly prosecute IB oases of braaoh of their observance, moreoa poolally oom of hou<eholdors not reporting «»sbb of fever In tholr toases : patient! being oxposod In pablio plaoes ba/oro BUoloiontly re covered; »xposuro of clsthlng and oth»r aniolos •supabio of irstaintng infootion by frl«nds or Visitors of the patient IDr.'s inoludod) without previous dlslnfeotion; and nonattontlon to Bystematlo dlßinfeolion tbroUßhout tho wholo period of the oaso, the opldomlo could bo stamped out in three or four months.—lam. &o.

THE FRANKLIN ELECTION PETITION.

fUY lEI/EORAVH.—OWN COKUKSPONDENT.)

DKURY, this day. The Blection Petition Court sat to-dny at Papnkura for tho determination of Mr \Y. V, Auckland's petition ajrahiHt tho return of Major Harris for Franklin North on tho ?;rouud of certain charges mado against the litter and Mr Shauogan, tteturning Ollicer. Chief Justioo Prendcrgast and Mr Juitico Gillies preßided. Mems Cotter and E. Whltaker appeared for the petitioner, Mr Lusk for Major liar. ris, and Mr Sbanaghan tor himself. A largo number of witnesses wera prescnf, and tlio email Court-room was inconveniently crowded with settlers.

The proceedings commenced with an ap plication by Cottor for tho excision of portions of tho petition, alleging that pertain infants and unqualified pprsona votijd, which wob granted. Tho grounds of petition arp asfoilowa :— (1) Thnt at Mangaro Mr Sihanghan do elured a voting paper informal, because tho name of tho voter is wiitten across its face. (2) That at llowick,tho refused Povoll's voting paper ,upon boinz told thnt he hud not resided six months iv the dis trict. (3) Thai Kobt. llaitaway, Junr,, practised iutimidalion on Dovcll. (■!) That at Howick a porson named Thomas Sutcliffe, voted in respect of 'another, rjctaon whoso naraq ap peared on the roll as James Sutclifl'e. (5) That Mr Shsmaghan, having lod the peti tioner to believe that there wai only one ballot box at Otnhuhu, he provided ouly one scrutineer, whereas foyo boxes were used. (8) That Mr Sbanagli'an appointed as pall dale, ltiqhard Scfton, previously scrutineer for Ms- Luke. (9) And William D. Bush who previously requested electors not to vote for the petitioner. (10) That while 29S persona received voting papers at Otnhuhu 304 rotes were received and counted. (11) And tho said papers issued to yotcrp woro not initialled by thp ltctiuning Officer as rcquirpd by law. It waa also contended that in issuing voting paporu to electors Mr Shananhan had not ticked tho names on the roll " This non-ticking and non-initialling having been admitted, an argument ensued as to whothor they rendered the election invalid, the judges having first declared that if flim effect woro established tho result would simply be to mako tho elpction void, and have it' over again, all parties being eligible.

Mr Cotter then argued (1) That as thp Returning Officer did not compl. with tho prov^onsof Section 30 of the Regulation of Elections Act, 18?1, at Otahuhu, by tick ing and initialling, the whole of ilui votes given there were bad. (2) Tljat as such votos represented over one third of tho number who voted at tha whole election it would not be a fair represpntar tion of the district to decldp in case of omitting such votes, and, therefore, the wholo election was void.

Mr Lusk, in reply, contended that there was a special proviso la the Act providing tor the appointment ot poll clerks to preside at the ballot boxes, and that it was com petent for them to perform the ticking and initialling. He characterised the ob jections aa merely formal oner, au.d pointed oat that in England, where th'o mode of parliamentary elbctions is the came as here, such objections were regarded aa of no weight unless it was shewn that certain electors were influenced not to vote, or to vote contrary to their wishes. No such al legation was made in respect of the voting at Otahnhu, and therefore there was no elect toval miscarriage. Beside;, if all the votes taken at Ctahuhu were struck out the petition would be in a still smaller minority, tor there the other candidates got the bulk of their support. The Court adjourned at one,—three quartern of art hour for lunch, —and on resuming Mr Shanagan will be heard. Tho Clerk of Writs (Major Campbell) has not yet arrived with the voting papers, He is expected by the Kingarooma, and will come here immediately on arrival,

Later.

PAPATOITOI, 3.50 p.m.

On resuming, Mr Sliamifihan skillfully argued bjs own case, showing that two ballot boxes were absolutely necessary nt Otahuhu, and that it is impossible for the Returning Officer to do all the ticking and initialling himself. Mr (Jotter replied at some length, The Judges havo just retired to consider whether it is neces sary to proceed further with the case.
