ROPOSED TESTIMONIAL TO THE MAYOR.

Public Mooting,

A Mivi'.Tisi; of citizens convened for the purpose of initiating steps for giving a public recognition of the service.-; of His Worship the Mayor, on his retiring from ottiee," was held in the Chamber of Com merce rooms this afternoon. There was a good attendance. Mr J. C. Firth Mas called to the chair.

The Chairman, in nn able speech, moved, " That this meeting deems it desirable to offer to Mr James MoCosh Clark, upon his retiring from oflice, a public recognition of the valuable services rendered to the citizens of Auckland in his capacity of Mayor for three successive years." The resolution was seconded by Mr R. (.'. Carr and carried.

Dr Pollen, in rising to propose the second resolution, said that he was not an admirer of what was termed "the testimonial system," for to public men public virtue should be its own reward. He regarded Mr ('lurk's faith ful and oxt ended services as Mayor, however, as calling for special recognition, lie there fore had much pleasure in moving, "That with the view of affording itn opportunity for all sections of tho community to assist in the above object, .subscriptions from ono shilling upwards bo accepted." Mr \V. Swanson, M.M.R., seconded tho motion, which was then put, and agreed to.

On tho proposition of Mr John Lamb, seconded by Mr C. B. Stone, a large num ber ef gentlemen {with power to add to tlioir number) were appointed a Committee to collect funds to carry out tho foregoing resolutions and to determine tho form of the testimonial. On tho suggestion of Mr McCullough, the names of all present were added.

The Chairman remarked that it would be but fitting that some recognition should also be tnado of Mrs Clark's services.

This concluded the business. A com inittee meeting followed.

WESLEYAN DISTRICT MEETING.

Wesley Collego Examination.

The annual examination and gathering of tho Wesleyan frionds is becoming increas ingly popular, as now others not belonging to the Wesleyans assemble at the proceed ings. The gathering to-day was all that could be desired—beautiful weather, and all the friends bent on enjoyment. Tho College room was gaily attired with ever greens and flowers, and mtulo to look hand some by the efforts of tho Maori students. The Maori boys looked brimful of hope and pleasure as they sat ready to begin the work for the day. Most of the ministers wero present, including Dr. Kidd, and everyone seemed pleased and delighted, At about eleven o'clock the Rev. Mr Watkiu rang tho College bell, and the crowd of visitors began to assemble in the school-room to witness tho interesting proceedings. Tho opening service was begun by the Rev. A. Reid,, by giving out a hymn. The Rev. H. Bull read a portion of Scripture, and prayer was offered by the Rev. W. C. Oliver. The Maoris, under the guidance of Mr Cranwell, sang most creditably some Biicred songs in English. They evidently oxcel in tho art of song, and they took their respective parta to the admiration of the audionce.

Tho Rev. Mr Parsonson was called upon to examine tho students in reading and English grammar. The reading was very good, the boys showing very correct modulation of the voice. There was a cortain amount of nervousness evinced by some of tho readers, this being somewhat of a trying ordeal for Maori youths. After reading, the rev. gentlemen asked the boys to point out tho various parta of a sentence, such as a noun, a verb, Ac. Some of the answers were satisfactory, while others caused amusement. The second examination was by tho Rev. fieo. Bond on tho Wesleyan Catechism. To the question, "What is Religion?' they promptly said, " Tho whole duty of man to his Creator." Tho difference between the Creator and the objects formed by man was replied to most promptly, One boy answered in Maori, but Mr Bond smiled and said that ho was not up in that language. The difference between false teachers and true ones was defined, and then Mr Bond asked the Maoris to mention the name of a false teacher. A boy replied " Brown," amid groat laughter and ap plauso from tho assembly. The answers on "Tho Divinity of the Godhead "_ were clearly given, and with oxeellent Scripture r t x>fs. Mr Bond, in closing, asked: What w.iß tho best book in the world? Answer : The Bible. Which was the !>" f Catechism in the world ? Of course, ilio Wesleyan Catechism was replied, and the Wisleyan hymn-book the be«t of its kind. This ex amination was much superior in answers to the one on reading and grammar. Lessons in geography were conducted by tho Rev. Mr Salter. The meaning of the word geography rather puzzled them at first, but soon a reply came—" A descrip tion of the earth." The meaning of tho terms gulf. an island, a strait, an estuary, and other geographical terms were pretty well replied to. To tho question how people livo in Great Britain and Ireland, one Maori said he had never been there. The answers to the questions on the configuration, population, &c, of New Zealand were, perhaps, not quito satis factory. Like many European?, they know more about other lands than their own. On the whole, the examination was good. The Rev. A. Reid asked the boys which wa» the most populous country in the world? The Maoris said New Zealand. Evidently the boys had studied closely the course which vessels take from England via Suez. The answers on Bible subjects wero the •best, especially tho history of Moses. Tho boys wero apparently well up in the general history of Palestino as depicted in the Bible. , . . Mr Reid gave some words of counsel and encouragement to the boys, after which there was an exercise in photography by Mr Nowbold. The boys read sentences from the blackboard correctly. They seem to take pleasure in this useful art; perhaps some of tho Maoris think of being reporters on the " Korimako," or any other Maori journal. They know all tho charac ters, but were not asked to pronounce tho phonograph alphabet. Next came an examination on bt. lauls travels by the Rev. Mr Sponce. The questions were pretty difficult, bnt the answers were satisfactory. This closed the examination, which was altogether of a most pleasing character. Afterwards the various friends broke up into small picnic parties over the grounds, partook of refresh ments, and enjoyed themselves. \ arious games, &c, were entered into. The whole days proceedings was a great tie it to the visitors and all concerned.

In asking for your support, I would state that the length of years I have resided in New Zealand, together with a mature experience, as member of Provincial Council, Chairman of Town Board, &c, &c, might be considered a qualification foe this position of trust I now seek.
