INTER-PROVINCIAL CRICKET MATCH.

Otago V. Canterbury,

(BT TELEGRAPH.—PBBSS ASSOfcIATIOH),

DUNEDIN, Saturday.

The inter-provincial cricket match was continued to-day. Canterbury, in the first innings, scored 91; Otago, in the second innings, 93; leaving Canterbury 146 to get to win. In the latter's second innings 3 wickets have fallen for 2 runs. i lliis day. Pipy was resumed at 12.5. At 9 .Reeves' had the misfortune, in playing one from W. Frith, to hit the wicket. He made four. At one o'clock the score was twenty. Ashby and Watson are playing very carefully.

The P.M.ss City of Sydney, with the inward English and American mails, had not been signalled up to the time at which we went:to [press. Sho may be looked for during the evening.

A sentimental young man when asked by a party of young ladies the other evening to sing, warbled "She wo' a weath of wosos the night when foyst we met."

; A pleasure party of eight gentlemen, including Messrs Thomas Henderson, junr., and J. 13. Graham went an excursion to Waiwere yesterday in the yacht Bita, Having lit a fire in a can on deck for the purpose of boiling some water the gentlemen went on shore to bathe. Shortly after they had left smoke was seen banging over the after-end of the yacht, and a speedy return was made to learn the cause. It was seen that the main boom had knocked over the can and scattered the fire on the deck, igniting the planks and threat ening to do further damage. A bucket of water was speedily applied, and proved effectual in extinguishing the lire. The damage sustained only necessitated the re moval of a few feet of deck planking at the after-end of the yacht, which repairs were effected to-day. A moment's work on clay tells more than an hour's labour on brick. So work should be done on children's hearts before they garden.

Tiis Weather akd thejPassions. - Henry Smith was charged with assaulting John Cooks by striking him.—Mr Uotter appeared for complainant, and stated that the cause of the disturbance was due to the action ot informant's wife, who, somo time ago, had sold goods to the defendant with out cousulting the proper authority, viz., the authority of her huaband. Mr Cotter called the prosecutor.—John Cocks, engineer, knew defendant, who was a dealer in Grey-street. He obtained judgment recently in an action against Smith for the recovery of certain goods.

AUCKLAND GAS COMPANY.

The annual meeting of the shareholders of the Auckland Gas Company was held this afternoon in the office, Fort Street, the Hon. I?. Whitaker presiding. Nineteen other shareholders were present.

Tho Secretary (Mr. E, B, Parsons) presented the following report :— "The last year's operations of the com pany have been very satisfactory,- The favourable result attained has been by care ful economy, tbo use of coal equally suitable but less costly, and an improved system of working. The Auckland Gas Com pany's Act authorises the payment of dividends ataTatc not exceeding 29 per annum. The dividends paid have always been well within that limit, and the direc tors now recommend that the dividend to be declared for the last year shall bo 16 per cent. The balance at the credit of profit and loss in £10,579 8s 3d, and it is pro posed to deal with this sum as follows : — Dividend now to be paid, £3,94117s Gd ; making, with the amount paid in July to the then current year, 16 per cent; £2,000 to be placed to the Keeerve Fund, and the balance of £4,637 10s od, to be carried-to the credit of the current y ear's profit and loss account, The directors also propose to reduce the price of gas by increasing tho discount to 20 per cent. This, though nominally lcuvinß the price of gas at 10s, will make the price to be paid 8s per 1,000, a less price than is charged by any lias Company in New Zealand^" Aucklaiid, February 6tb, 1882.

We certify that we have examined the books and vouchers of the Auckland Gas Company (Limited), and, having compared them with this balanco-eheet. find the same to be correct, QEO. P. PIRBOE, > Annirnnß T. IiKICIH WHITE. I AUDWOBB. Auckland, January 26th, 1882. The balance-sheet was as follows :— The Chairman, in moving the adoption of the report and balance-sheet, said that very little was required from the directors to commend it to the shareholders. The report would no doubt be considered a very favourable one, and it would be found to be fully borne out by the balance-sheet, which contained the fullest possible information as to the financial position of the company. The company was now in a stroDg and good position, and it was therefore enabled to carry on business with very great advantage, as the in creased profits would shew. Hitherto they had pnrsued their course with much caution and care, so that the limits, of their income should not be exceeded. Upon the whole he apprehended that the share holders were fully satisfied with the result. The directors now proposed to increase the dividend from 15 to 16 per cent, and that was the beat thing they could do. Ihey also propose to carry over a certain sum to current account as well as £2,000 to the reserve fund, making it conse quently £6,000 in all. This reservation could not be considered too high, and it would doubtless meet with the approval ot tho shareholders. On a future occasion they might suggest that a further addition should be made to tbe reserve. That, bow ever, would be matter for discussion. At present the only question was the adoption of the report and balance-sheet, the motion .for which purpose he had formally moved,

I The Hon. P. Dignan, M.L.C., seconded I the motion, which was then put and carried nem. con.

The retiring directors, viz,, the Hon, F. Whitaker and Mr C. J. Stone, were re. elected upon the motion of Mr Barton Ire» land, seconded by Mr Ralph Eeesing, Mrß. Walker moved, and Mr K. Beck seconded, that Messrs Pierce and White should be reappointed auditors. This was also carried.

The Chairman announced that this con cluded the regular business of the meeting. The cheques for the dividend would be ready by ten o'clock to-morrow morning. Mr Barton Ireland enquired if any pro posals had been made to the directors for the extension of the gas supply to the North Shore? Was there any likelihood of it being taken there ? The Chairman, in reply, eaid that some time ago the directors were requested by North Shore residents to arrange for a supply of gas to that suburb, The pro. posal was entertained and careful enquiries were made with the object of asertainingthe probable cost and returns. It was found that the gas would have to be manufactured at the North Shore, and after a ciuivass of the district had been made in order-to find out how many customers there would be, the scheme had to be abandoned, the directors not finding sufficient encouragement to jus tify the venture or to give promise of a reasonable profit. Lately, however, the scheme had been resuscitated, but it had not yet been determined. It would again come under the notice of the directors in due time, and if tho extension could be made consistently with the interests of the Company it would be done. Mt G t P» Pierce hoped that the southern shore of the harbour would be fully at tended to before the company extended [its business to the northern ahor<\ At present some pat-Is of Parnell and notably St. Stephen's Avenue and Mount Edtm also required |a gas supply* If those districts were canvassed, plenty of customers would be obtained.

The Chairman replied that both places wero new receiving consideration, The delay hitherto had been caused by an in. sufficiency of mains, bnt the barquo which arrived yesterday had brought a supply. Mr Joseph Newman remarked that the case of Conquest place, ParnelJ, had received special attention from the manager and directors.

Mr 'lhos, Macffarlano mentioned that the directors had ascertained Unit they could depend upon a return of 8J per leant, on their outlay if they chose to extend tho company's operations to the North Shore, so that the shareholders' profits could not bo lessened by such an enterprise. The matter, however, had not been decided yeU The mooting dissolved after the customary vote of thanks to the chairman had been passed.

THE NEW LICENSING DISTRICTS.

A week or two back we 'announced that tho Government had promised to gazette the boundaries of the new Licensing Dis tricts as a preliminary to tho speedy bring ing into operation of the Licensing Ordi dance of last session. No time has been lost in tho fulfilment of that promise, as we have now before us n " Gazette " of January 20th, defining the boun daries of the several districts. For the in formation of our readers, we give an abridged description of the more important divisions in the Provincial District of Auckland. This city is divided into three districts, viz., Auckland Worth, Auckland South, and Auckland East. The first 'named district is bounded by a lino com mencing on tho Western side of Queen etreet Wharf, then along the side of the wharf and up the middle of Queen street to the city boundary; thonce by the boundary to a point where the production of the middle of Wei lcaley-street intersects the said boun dary; thence along the production and middle of Wellesley-street to its junction with (juctn-strcct—tho starting point. Auckland booth is bounded by a lino com mencing in the middle of Queen and Wei lesleytstreets; thence along tho middle of Queen-street to the boundary ; thence by the boundary to a point where the produc tion of the middle of Wellesley>strcot intersects the said boundary; thence along said production and middle of Wcllesley street to its junction with Queen-afreet, the , starting point., Auckland East comprises , all the area not included in the other divi sions. The areas of the Onehunga and Parnell districts are co-terminal with those of the Borough of Onehunga and Parnell. Takapuna is bounded by the Wade district and the Okura riyer on the north, by the sea on the east, and by the Waitemata har bour and Lucas's Creek on the south aud west. Karangahapc is bounded on the north "by the road of the same name from its junction with Symonds-srcet to allot ment 12 of section 7, on the east by Symonde-street to allotment 2 of section 7, on the south by the southern boundary of allotment 2, and on the south-west by the south-western boundaries of allotments 5 A and 12 to the starting point—allotment 12. The boundaries of the licensing districts of Grafton Boad, Karangahapo, Newmarket, Kemucra, Mount Eoakill, Mount Welling ton, Mount Eden, Mount Albert, Archhill, Newton, Ponsonby, One Tree Hill, Otahnhu. Mangarc, Mauurewa, Dnrgavillc, Maungatawhiri, I'okcno, and Waikomiti are generally coterminous with those of tho highway districts of tho same name. The Manukau district is bounded by Whan Creek, Manukau har bour, and the sea, and the Waikomiti dis trict, We notice that tho election of Licensing Committees for the districts of Auckland north, South, East, and Parnell has been fixed for the 21st of the current month, Friday next, the 10th inst,, being the day for the lodging of nominations, Mr J. E. AL" ,'onald being tho Returning Officer for the districts named. Full infer ■nation concerning the placet at which nominations and elections take place, and' the dates of holding the Licensing Courts under the new ordinance, appeared in our advertising columns on Saturday.

AUCKLAND COLLEGE AND GRAMMAR SCHOOL.

DISTRIBUTION OF PRIZES,

THE' annual distribution of prizes to the pupils attending tho Auckland College and Grammar School, took place in the large hall ajt the. College at .three this afternoon, The scholars mustered in force, and there was also a large attendance of parents and guardians. The members nf the Board of Governors were also present, the chairman (Sir G, M.O'Rorke) occupying the chair.

The Chairman, in his opening remarks, referred to the excellent facilities provided by the .colony for educating its youDg people, —he referred to primary and . secondary,—a grammar school education. In this portion.of the colony, however, they were behind Otago find Canterbury in the matter of higher education. These pro vincial districts had each their universities. Last year, however, a sum of ilioney had been placed on the estimates for the establishment of - a university in this part of education. Addressing himself then to the pupils, he spoke a few words of encouragement to those who had not boen suiKeßsful in taking prizes. He congratulated the lads oh the teaching stau, making especial reference to the new head master, Mr Bourne, who, he said, had been unanimously selected for the position to which he aspired from amongst thirty others.

Mr Bourne said he Was aware it *v;is the custom oh occasions of this sort to give a alight history of the school, and lay before them his^plans for the futurb. He, however, would" lie exouscd from this, having only lauded on these shores a week ago. He know nothing of the school than the gossip he had picked up coming out. Ho had to thank them for tho cordial welcome ho had received on eTDry hand, especially from the Board of Governors and the teaching staff. lie especially re ferred to tho kindness of Mr Slowman, who had smoothed the way for him as far as lay in his power. He asked them to believe that he spoke from a full heart. Having addressed a few words to the boys, ho asked the-parents to take him into their confidence.

Tlio Chairman said ho had just been in formed by tho Hon, John Hall that the vote of £1,600 for Hif-hor Education in Auck land had not been allowed to lapse, but had been placed in the hands of those who would see it properly expended. Tho Chairman then introduced the Hon, John Hall, who was received with deafen ing applause. The Hon. Mr Hall reiterated what the Chairman had said, and assured his hearers that the Government of the colony wore anxious to see higher education provided for Auckland. Addressing the pupils, he said that their new head-master had just arrived from England, and waa acquainted with English boys. They should thcrcforo tako a pride in showing him that New Zealand boys aro better than English boys, and further that tho Auckland boys could beat the boys in the rest of the colony.

THE NEW ZEALAND SANA TARIUM.

SALE OF TOWNSHIP IN THK HOT LAKE

DISTRICT,

The announcement that the Government of New Zealand has determined to dispose of the leases of a number of villa cites in the wonderful Kotorua Hot Bakes District should interest speculators in this colony. Attention has been specially directed during recent years to the valuable curative pro perties possessed by the wators inftuestion, through the cures of diseases which they have effected when all other human agencies have tailed. Within the last two months, Mr Colley, a resident of South Australia, who was carried to tbo Spriogs in an utterly paralysed condition, has com -1 pletely recovered, and hundreds of similar cases might be recounted, The Government only became possessed of the district a short time ago, and already ex tensive provisions for the assistance and comfort of invalids have been made. A qualified, medical officer has been placed there, and a hospital, dispensary, bathing pavilions, sheds, and other conveniences are n«w being provided. An area of 125 acres out of the towship reserve of 600 acres has been surveyed, and the leases are to bo offered for Bale for a term of 09 years on March 7tli. Situated on the shores of the beautiful Kotorua Lake, and in the midst of the springs, it is anticipated that the sites will be In active demand. Timber for building purposes may be obtained from an extensive bush in the immediate neighbourhood. Ample reserves have bocn made lor park, recreation grounds, and other public purposes; whilst the Innumerable hot, sulphurous, and gaseous springs and natural baths have all becu retained for the benefit of the public. It ia intended to offer for lease a few villa sites of half an acre each—the remainder being quarter-acre business sections. Several i suburban live and ten-acre sections have also been laid out, and, in addition to these, small farms, ranging from 40 to 60 acres, have been provided for. There are, within a short distance from the centre of the township, a great number of mineral springs, .from a boiling cauldron at Ornawhata to the tepid springs on the lake shore; from the cold sulphurous springs in the large reserve to scalding steam jets at Sulphur Foiut, which deposit .large quantities of pure and beautiful sul phur crystals. Abouta mile and a half from the township arealargegroup of hotand boil ing springs, including a geyser which throws a column of water forty feet into the air. They arc known under the general name of Wlnikarowarewa, and it is said that somo of the most valuable healing springs are situated there. The wonderful hot baths and waterfall of Tikitere are eight milss distant, and the Tikitapu Lake, ■with water of deep indigo blue, about fire miles. Botomahana terraces are sixteen miles distant, and the trip only occupies three hours by carriage and boat. There arc numberless other points of in terest ; and they attract hundreds of tourists and invalids each season, Now that ad ditional facilities have been provided tor bathing, it i» anticipated that the Kotorua Lakes will become a popular summer resort for residents in the Australasian colonies, while- there is every reason to suppose that there will be an increased influx of American and European tourists. These and other reasons recom mendtSpeculations in Kotorua township lots as safe and profitable investments, Visitors can reach the Lakes from Auckland now by steamer and coach in less than 24 hours, the cost of the trip being £2 10s. A company has been floated to con struct a railway connecting the district with the Government trunk line. There are two overland routes from Auckland, each of which can be traversed in two days, and a roid also runs through frbm Rotorua to Napier, via Lake Taupo, where additional wonders are to be seen. A private company is about to construct a line of railway from Auckland to the Lake, via Waikato, and the trip will then occupy scarcely more than twelve hours. Fuller information regarding the sale is contained in an advertisement published in another column.

VACCINATION.

(To the Editor.)

I Silt,—Will you allow me to draw public attention through your columns to the ap pointment of Mr R. F. Sandes, chomisi of this town, to the post of publiq vaccipator, and ask wliy it is that tho Government of New Zealand appoint men to professional posts who are professionally incapablo of performing the duties of those posts, of who are, from ignorance, unable to soiect suitable cases, fo tho great injury of the health of the coming and of tho present generation. Vaccination shotild be moat carefully performed, since great injury may result from the injudicious use of this great blessing—as is shown by tho spread of .several diseases to at least a hundred known persons, children, nurses who suckled them, as well as mothers, and even fathers, by vaccinating from a single unhealthy child. Besides tliose known as many more may have be come infected by vaccinating fronl each one of. these children. _ So disastrous wore the bffects felt to bo that it was absolutely necessary to appoint a Royal Commission solely to determine Upon the beat aleans to prevent its ravages continuing. I rcHi to the notorious case occurriug in the Valley of the Kivialtn in Italy, well known to any medical man and open to public inspection in any authorised text book, as " Tanner'B Practice ol Msdicinc," or "Sir Thomas Watson's Principles and Practice of Piiysici" Within the reach of small-pox, we feel and acknowledge tho wisdom by which Legis latures insist upon compulsory vaccination, but arc wo nolons volcns to run the risk of having disease spread through our families by appointing chemists as vaccinators, or arc we, by appointing men professionally qualified to perform the duties of thoso posts, to guard against disease- as much as possible? — Yours obediently, Samuel Henry Edgklow, Member of the Eoyal College of Surgeons of England.
