CONFERENCE BE SCHOLAR SHIPS.

— -*- A cohferci.ee between the Board of Educa tion and the Grammar School Bi-id of Governor?, for lhe purpose of efl'teting an amicable arrangement with respect to the conditious for grunting district tcholarships, was opened at 2.30 tbisafteiuooninthemett ing room of the former body. There wira p esont—Messrs W. P. Moat (chairman), who pre-ided, F. J. Moss, D. Goltlie, F. L. Prime, J. M. Dargaville, S. Luke, R. La'sbley, B. Hot.., and J. M. Clark (Major.) Uranium Sell ol Governors: Sir G. M. O'llorko (Chairman), Rev. C, M. Nelson Mr T. Peacock, Mr J, A. Tole, and Col. Haultain.

Sir G, M. u'Rotke opened the proceed ings by stating that the Governors con s'dereel tha*; the maximum agd of candi dates for scholarships should' ba reduced from 17 years to 13 years, as they desired to receive the Board of Education's pupils ut the age of 13 years, and retain thvin until the a:o of 17 years Thoy also thought that during tlte^e four years these scholars should be lia'tle lo ba examined so as to war.aut the Education Boaitt in paying them out of Iho Scholarship Fund, Tiiis was tbo main point for con siderati;ii. There wore, of courso, soveral subsidiary ones, which it was m.t necessaiy to tench upon. He hoped the Beard of Education would ac cept the a^soranca of tho Governors that they had not the slightest desire to create a rupture between the two bodies or to in terrupt the harmonious rela'ions that had so long subsisted, but that they were simply acting upon thtir boliet that tho present system of tcholarshifS could be improved. In attending tho Conf. recce they were actuated by a desire to promote tho interests of primary and secondary education iv this piovince, and especial y the holders of these district scholar-hips who would be the joint property of both bodies, and who would be litt.iy to reflect lustre upon tbis portion of thec-louy. The secretary of the Board of Governors : then submitted the following propositions i of that body : — (1) 'lhe Governors will co-tinuc to giant free tuition at the Grammar School to nil scholars from the district schools who have gained scholarships, (2) 'I hey will also .ive frea tuition to the holders of certifi cates of proficiency, not oxceeding six in each year, to bo continued until the holders reach the age of 15, (3) Competitors for district scholarships shuild not exceed 13 years of age. (4) The schola'ship< should, in the fist instauco, ba tenable till the holders reach the age of 15 years. On attaining tbat limit of age, the holders of scholar-hips and of the Education Beard's cettificatei of proficieucy should be at libsrty to compete for the same number of scholarships held for Ihat year for two yeats louetr. (5) That tbe payment to a first scholar should not exceed £15 per annum, except in the case of boys whose parents live at a distance from town. That tbo payment to a boy holding a second scholarship i.c , after 15 years of age, shnnlel bo as at present, £30 per annum. (G) That compe titors for first sch'.'larsh'ps should have he- n attendiog a district school for two. years previous. A short discussion followed, in tbe course of which Mr Mess questioned the rieht of the Governors to confer the scholar ships as a kind of concession, and uphold the Education Board's claim to their bestowal.

Eventually, it was resolved, on tho motion of Mr Laishlev—"Tbat this Biard flunk the Board of Governors for their courtesy in this matter, and will at tbo earlifst opportunity tako their propositions into consideration with the view of arriting at a harmonious undcr s'aiding as soon as possible."

Hie Match at AsJiburton.

ASHBURTON, this day. The team arrived here at eleven, and the match commenced soon afterwards. Ash burton won tbe toss, a-id elected to j^o in first, The match was played ou cocoanut matting. Dufaur took his place in the Auckland team, Yates standing out. Mr A, E. Whitaker acted as umpire for Auck land, aud Mr Stack for Ashburtoo. W. P. Reeves and D, Ttiomas npresented Athburtou at the wickets, facing the, bowliug of Buckland and Dufaur. Reeves cue Buckland's first fur a single, aud Thomas cutting" bis third might have scored, but Reeves would not respond ! to the call. Be however put the lust ot the over to leg for a single, A bye came off lufaur's second ball, and the next took Reeves's wicket, tho ball cannoning from his pad-1-I—3. Castelli went in, nnd alter assisting 'ihomas to run a single was bo .vied by a well-pitched one from Buck laud, on which he did not play quickly enough—2—o-3. Simps in filled the vacancy aud played the remainder ot the over withoutscoriof. His stay was, however, very shut. Thomas play.tl one of uufaur's next over to leg, and Simpson cilhng, ran into tho other wicket. Thomas did nut, however, stir out of his crease, and the ball being stnaitly ro'unied to tho other end, Simp'on was at the mercy of Dufaur, and was acccidingly run out — 3 - o—4. Wilding replaced him, and got Buckland's second ball to leg for a single, and followed it up by cuttiag Dufaur through Buckland's legs lor two. Piay was very riow. Notwithstanding that neither of lhe bowlers had a good pilch, Bucklauel sout down a raaideu from tho upper cud, Thomas playing it very carefully. Wilding put Dufuur prettily to long le^, nnd smntt fielding by Arueil confined scoring iff it to a couple. Buckland had another nmideu rccouled to his credit, and Gardner, miss ing one of Dutnur's, three were called for byes. The tulearaph shewed ten inns for j neaily balf-an-hour. play. Thomas got Dufaur neatly away to long leg &_ two, and again Arneil fielded smartly, almost runniug the batsmen out, Wilding drove Buckland past the bowler for a single, and similaily operated on Dufaur. W lding opened his shoulders to Buckland, and drove him prettily to on aid off, but good fielding prevented scoring from tha hits. Dufaur again sent up a maiden to Tkomas, who appear, d to be most stubborn, but playing carefully for few runs, 'ihe first of Buckland's next over was sent away by Wilding to long-leg for a couple, audit!st leu single to mid-on brought this batsman into double figures, Aineil relieved Dutaur as bowler at ihe lower end, and Wilding diew the last of his firat over to leg fur a single. Twenty now appeared on ihe telegraph. Wilding drove one of Buckland's past the bowler and near the boundary line, but only got a single, and Thomas stole a single from a short hit, Thomas ran oue from a short off hit, and would have douhtlcss beeu run, out bad O'Brien not mulled, Bucklnntl started to bowl round wicket, and Wilding drove bis third for two Tho same batsman cut Buckland's next, aud Thomas called. Linkham returned the ball quickly, and Thomas's bails were removed by Testro— 4—G 26. Raino took bis placo, and Wilding drove Aineil out of the bounds lor throe, Another bye was added to the score, and naioo retired, unsuccessfully attempting to cut one of Buckland's -5-0-30 Denshire, Ash burtop's captain,- came to the rescue, but was a forlorn hope. PJiyrng tho secord ball from Buckland, ho bit his wicket, and tbe ball also found its way into his stumps so tbat he was doubly out-C-o—3o. Maud followed, and having as-isted Wild ing lo a siaglo played tbe remainder of Arue'l's over. Wilding drove Buckland grandly to off and Dufuur, fielding splen didly, return'd the ba!l before ha could scotc. Buckland regi-t red another maiden and Mand departed through a "yorker" by Arneil—7—o 31. Pliley replaced him and only remained long enough to run tor a leg bye. A. yoiker ftom Buck land despatched him, tbe attempt to play back to it being scarcely successful enough to stop it—B—o—32. Fooke's next managed to negotiate tbe remainder of ike over safely, and YVilding drove Arneil to the off for a single, and brought his scoro up to twenty. a pretty diive off Buckland by Wilding pr.'du.-ed two, and another fine off hit added tiro mo:o. Arneil sent pp a maiden, and Wildiug again got Buckjand to on for ono. Fookes put Buckland up at mid-on, but fortuna civ for him there was no field there. The telegroph showed 40. Another maiden to Arneil, and Lanknam rtlievpd Buckland. Wilding snicked his third for one and .Fookes finished lhe over, tho third succes sive maiden recorded to Arneil and Fookes played Lankbam prettily to off for two. Wilding again drove Atneil grandly, and Kobinsou stopped the ball near the bound ary and confined the score to a single. Another single off Laukh .m br-Ugbt Wild ing's score up lo thiity. He played Arnnil to leg for one, Fpokpa got the same bowler to longfield for two. Both bat»men now appeared to be well fjet, and were playing very pretty cricket. Wilding cut Arneil for 2, and Fookes added a single to his ecorp by a pretty le-g hit' off Laijkham. Things weio looking much brighter for Asbb^rton by tbis time. Wilding drove Arupil prettily for two,'and a single came at both ends. 'Vy'ilding gavo a chance in the slipi off Arooil, but "waa mis»ed by Gill. Fookes got another siogle and VV ila'ing played Arneil prettily to log for two, : bringing his score into the feities. Robin-on took tho ball at ihe lower end Wilding played his first on iho slips for 1. Tbe tel. gravh showed GO. A change of bowling proved judicious, Fooko playing tho second b»ll softly into lhe bowlers hands'-9-6—GO. Andrews ii'led I the vacancy and WildiDg, by another I p-etty drive to leg off , Lankbam". added ttfo to the score. A cut by Andrew s , brought np two more, but ihe batsman norrowly escaped beinij run out. Andre* 0 slipped Lanknam lor ono, tho ball gain: ' between Gill's legs, aod put Robinson i ab .nt out of bounds for two. Three camo f'om byes in Robinson's next over, I Ttio long.stock fielded in the slips} Andrews gavo Barton a chance at long- I on off Lankbam, but it was n t held, j The telegraph showed 70. Another ohai co , was given by Andrews at long-on, and tbi' time he d by Buckland — 10 — 7 — 72. Heatchey filled the vacancy, and getting I L-nkham lo leg, t cored a eiogtc. He then . put Robinson near tbe loac-tield boundary for two, and got the same bowler to ou for a single. Wilding now scored for first time for about half aa hour, driving Robinson iato the boundary for 3, O'Brien mis ins; it bidly in the field, 'lhe telegraph row showed 80. Wilding got ontthcr single, and Scratchcy put Lankbam out of bounds at loug-ileld 'for 8. Robinson, who bad been proving rather an expensive bowler, | got Sctatchey's wicket with tho next bill— Il—U-87. Buchanan might havo been i stumped iff tbe first ball j but his stay was short. Playing back to the next ball, he bit his wicket—l2-I—9o Curtis ivas tne incomer, and Gill bowled from tbe up;or end. Bis second ball was cut by Wilding for a single, aud three came from byes, Robinson now bowling re ma kably well, sending up somo very dodgy ones. Curtis play ed Bim to off for a single, and Gill sent down a nnrdin. WildiDg drove Robinson for two, and Curtis got another single from Gill. A cut for a sngle by Willingb-ougbt 100 up, and tho spec'arora applauded loudly. Wilding again got Robinson to leg for one, and fol .!q ved suit on Gill. Curtis finished the over by converting tho fifth ball into a single in tbe slips, drawing Robinson to leg ho got two mote, and followed it with a .ingle off the sam° bowler. B rton replaced Gill and and the fi Id was placed for catcher. The first over'added a single to Curt's score, the batimen poking it off hie wicket. The samo batsman bit'one ef Robinson's over the bowlers bedd for two, and followed it np by biting" him to'1 leg for 2 putting himse'f in double figures, abd bringing 110 up. Wilding added another, and cutting L-.nkham, who had gone on at the lower end, got3,including 1 for an over throw, "lhe wicket-keeperbads.mechances Of .stumping both but failed. v\ ilding put one of Barton's over tbp bowler's head for two.
