ANGLO-COLONIAL NOTES.

(From Our Own Correspondent in

London.)

'iea-groiving in New Zealand.

The "Colonies and India," commenting on the report now current that the tea harvest in several Indian tea gardens is seriously threatened by the spread of cer tain iusect pests, points out the desirability of introducing tea-culture extensively Into New Zealand, " a region as yet unvisited by tbe insect nuisances of Europe and Asia." The writer goes on to say—"For mare than 500 years the European silkworm escaped nearly every disease ; for above 40 years, the tea plant in India has suffered from nothirjg more than an occasional hail storm ; and the famous vineyards of Con stantia, ia South Africa, have fortunately not suffered like others in Europe, America, and to a certain extent in Aus tralia. Coupling tliONi! circumstances with the known happy freedom of New Zealand, for instance, trom moat kiuds of objeciion able p:t'iuiti« lite, it seems fair to conclude that, properly managed, tea, wine, and silk culture should there enjoy along immunity from tbe scourges of the Northern Hemis phere, and that under the defence of proper precautions, the pests alluded to need never be introduced." 2he Australian Cricketers. As a proof that the Australian cricketers attached the utmost importance to winning the toss, tbo " World " instances the prac ttcu Mr Murdoch had of going through a preliminary course with a friend and a shilling iv the pavilion, in order to utcer laiu whether head or tail would be most likely to tura up next. The action savours of childiihiKH-i, the " World " also says, and sounds as little liko crirket as do many othtr thing* imported from Australia by the team, which MV Murdoch brought over to England last sUpji&ier,

The English Team in Australia. Who are the Champions?

A few d»ys ago a letter appeared in the " Spoitsman " ftorn an anonymous corres* pindent, who signed himself "RG.S," declaring that the Championship ot the Cricket Field remained iv Australia. He 1 also asserted that the «t«fi-iu of Murdoch's team on two.of these occasions was due, nut to the superiority of tbe English Klev»D, bat to " Btalenesa,*groaßnes», care. l«snu. a*," and the like on the part of the colonists. Tliis effusion naturally roused the ire of many English cricketers, and a host of them wrote to the ".Sportsman " about tbe matter. Ono corresponds only endorse} the opinion of "F.G.S.,' and says that " tbe average form of the eighteeos tbe Englishmen have met during their tour .is little hater than tJint of au .English town club." This gentleman at tribes the defeats of Murdoch's Eleven to the fact that they were ' utterly demoralised by reason of too frte an indulgence in such anti-cricketing amuse ments as balls, picnics, and pigeon shootine," J. Wilson, on the other hand, states that the Championship nnver left England at. all, and maintains that Cam bridge University have a better claim to it than the Colonists, ns Murdoch's eleven were easily b; a»en by'Vatsity on two oc casions. "Anti-Pessimist" alto upholds the title of the English to the champion ship, and remarks that Mr Blijth's team, consisting as it did of half-a-dozen of the youugest generation of amateur*, with two rather older, and four profe'seionals. _ A gentleman who signs binuelf "St. Denis," also indignantly contradicts tbe statement of 'T.G.5,," and sayi>, " I /eel. with mauy others, that the Hon. lvo. Blish'a team have decidedly over-rca".bed their own ex pectations, as in the first place they were not by any means a representative leum of the old country,"

THE RAILWAY RECLAMA TION.

Negotiations ivith the Govern ment Concluded.

Neqotiaiions have been proceeding for some days past between tbe Harbour Boaid and Government in connection with the proposal by the Board to take over the con tract for filling in tho railway reclamation enclosure.' Thft matter was considered at a mooting of toe Board in committee on Tuesday last, but the proposals drawn up od the occasion did not, meet with the ap proval of tbe Hod. K. YYhitakcr, to whom they were submitted. He drew up a memorandum of terms, and these were considered at the ordinary meeting of the Board on Tuesday. Tbe clauses pro viding that the harbour body thould take o»er the leapoaßibiliiy of ppssible lawsuits did not; meet with their approval, and they again submitted amended proposals. The Premier positively deolirud to accept these, and as he intended to leave for the South to-day, negotiations were fomewhat hurried. Another meeting of the Board in committee was held this morn ing, but the strictest secrecy regarding tbe business transacted has been maintained by the secretary and chuirmuu, notwithstand the fact-that the matter is odo of puolic importance. It has, bow.ver, transpired that the matter has been definitely settled, and that the Harbour Board will take over the contract, cutting down the hill at Point Britomart and Emily place, the toene of the recent fondnlip, and filling up the basin with the stuft taken out The responsibility has been accepted by the Board, it being understood that any possible assistance will be rendered by the OeTernmiint in the doubt ful contingency of claims for damages or law-suits. It is at all events satisfactory tbat this much vexed question has been settled, «nd there is now every reason to believe that the railway station adjoining Lower Quoenstreet will soon become an established fact.
