LAYING WATER PIPES IN PON SONBY.

(To tho Editor.)

Slß— Notwithstanding the apparent con ssrv'ative and circumlocutionary proclivities ofCr Waddell, and the'bombastic absurdi ties of Cr. -Phillipps, as reported in your issue of yesterday, Cr, Boardman is entitled to the unqualified thanks of the ratepayers and residents of Ponsonby for the prompti tude with which he acted in the matter of laying water pipes in certain streets in that ward. From tbe great inconvenieuce arising from the scarcity of water in Ponsonby, tho inhabitants thereof naturally expected that the City Council would lose no time in supplying this desideratum after the incor potation of tbo locality with the borough had heen consummated. When Councillor Boardman, with piaisoworlhy energy, took Ihe initiative in this important and urgent work, no one anticipated that he wonld be found fault with for doing so. The work was imperatively needed, and the sooner it could be dono the better. People whose opinion is worth having will compliment him-as we all do in Ponsonby-for what he has done in furtherance of a water mpply for us. Months ago, Councillor Boardman stated, in his place in the Coun cil, that a considerable section of the rate payers of Ponsonby had expressed. their readiness to lay on the water to their pietuises as soon as the. Corporation ex tended tbat boon to them, aud that the available main pipes, which wero lying idlo and rustina", should bo (speedily) utilised for that purpose in thus pushing on the work expeditiously. Councillor Boardman was actuated by the best of motives, and the censure to which he had been subjected by two of his fellow councillors will not assuredly meet with the approbation of the generality of our in telligeat citizens. All our representatives in the City Council shonld bo men of ad yanced minds and prompt action ; small men, who are constitutionally petulant and circumscribed in their notions as to what ihould be done in response to the demands of emergency, have no business .in it,—l am, &c, A Eesident of Ponsonby.

HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY.

(To the Editor.)

SD!,—The "Herald," iv its issne of Ist last,, had an article of the Society's determination to abolish money prizes, stating that they approved ol the step, and that English Societies had discontinued to award money prizes, To this article I re plied, but aa the " Herald " ha* taken no noticoT-f the communication, may I beg ol you, on behalf of the gardeners, who all read the Stak, a small space to answer the "Herald." I was a frequent exhibitor both at metropolitan and provincial shows, and money prizes were always given, and, for all I know to the contrary, the same rule still exists, The " Rearld " advocates certificates of merit, such as were awarded at the Olympic yatnes, olive wreathes, &c, This may be sufficiently gratifying to the amateur, but to the practical working gardener, who bas to devote a deal of his leisure, it means simply giviog away his time without any remunera tion, and frequently without the slightest recognition, Amateurs have seldom the re quisite knowledge or skill to produce aa exhibit at the precise time, end therefore the gardener has to do the work, aud it would not be much satisfaction -to him if only an olive wreath were given, and that adorned the brow of his employer. If the iprdener could furnish exhibits and also do his ordinary work in the usual eight hour?, it would be only reasonable that he shonld bo satisfied, like his employer with a certificate of merit—but it is not so—to bring a specimen to porfection requires time and skill—a few degrees more or less in bis glass house may ruin his specimen, and he must therefore be on the alert for weeks or perhaps months before the Show to ensure a chance of suc cess. The "Herald" advocates the asso ciation of music with floral exhibitions — very desirable, we all admit—but how is it proposed to pay the band—with wreaths ? If so, lam afraid there would be as little music as flowers. Let the "Herald" be consistent, and insert all advertisements re Horticultural Society for a certificate of merit or an olive wreath, and then the gar deners will give up their own time, with out any reward. No,- sir, you must give ptizes sufficient to reimburse the working gardener for his constant work over time to prepare exhibits, and you must also recognise him as a /cllow-worker, and not merely have a society of amateurs who, however enthusiastic they may be, bave not the requisite skill or knowledge to ensure a continuance of Horticultural Shows.- Yours &c„ :.-,-. H. GENT. .."•"•-Since writing the above I see from the November number of the "Garden" thai at the South Kensington Show in that month prizes to the amount of £25 lis 6d were given for the best collection of vegetables. lIG

THE SCHOONER QUEEN STRUCK BY LIGHTNING.

AFTER a lengthy passage of eighteen days from Norfolk Island, tbe Anckland schooner Queen (Captain Burrell) put in to Manukau at 11 p.m, yesterday. Cap. tain Jones, who came up with the Queen, was In town this morning, and it is to him we are indebted for the following particulars of the voyage : —The Queen left Norfolk " Island on February 27th, and experienced S.B. weather until tho Oth inst. Then had N.E, winds till Saturday, and N.W. winds yesterday, when sho put into Manukau, On tho 10;h of last month when between Norfolk Island and Lord Howe's Island, the schooner was al most becalmed, and a thick drizzling rain was falling. Without any warning, the schooner was suddenly struck by light ning under the main chain plates, and above high water mark on the star board side. Fortunately no persons on tho schooner were injured and subsequent in spection showed tho damage was confined to the ship's !sido while a largo hole appoared. This was patched up and the Queen resumed her voyage.

FUNERAL OF MRS WILSON OF CAMBRIDGE.

(BY TELEORArn—OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

CAMBRIDGE, this day. YestekdAY, Cambridge, Waikato, wit nessed a gad yot gratifying testimony of respect to Iho memory of an cstimablo woman—Mrs "Wilson, wife of Major Wil -1 son. Pcrhap3 never before in New Zealand have the remains of any lady been borne to their last rcsting-placo with so much honour and regard, attended by such a numerous and representative body of both races. Some friends travolled from Auckland— a hundred miles—and latga numbers camo from ten to twenty miles distant to be present. There were at least sixty carriages, over a hundred horsemen, and altogether about one thousand persons fol lowed. The funeral service was conducted jointly by Archdeacon Willis and Rev. Wiremu Pomare, in English and Maori, and was reverently joined in by all present, including :—Col. Lyon, Mr John Sheehan, M.H.R, Dr. Buller, C.M.G., Judge Puckey, Te Ngakau, chief of Kawhia (who had come this long journey expressly, aad who is related to Mrs Wilson, and is probably the most influential chief in Waikato), R, Laishley, solicitor, Auckland, Dr. Waddington, R. J. Duncan, J.P,, aud many other well known colonists. There were naturally large numbers of Maori women clothed in mourning, wearing green leaves, forming a very picturesque portion of tbe procession, all conducting themselves with the utmost decorum. Te Ngakau also was remarkable by his head-dress, being a profusion of black huia feathers. At the Church of England morning service, Archdeacon Willis preached an appropriate sermon, re ferring in eloquent terms to tho serioiu loss which Cambridge and Waikato generally had sustained, as Mrs Wilson had been foremost for years past in good works, whether of a religious or benevolent character, nnd well worthy of imitation. Three days last week nearly all the shops were partially closed and flags hoisted ball-mast high over the town. On tho day of her death Chief Jndgo Mnc "donald, who presided in tbe > ative Land Court here, paid a high tribute from the Bench to the character of the deceased lady, testifying to her important services in the past towards the pacification of the country. He then adjourned the Court as a mark of respect to her memory, Over two hundred Ngatiruanui Maoris havo started from Taranaki for Cambridgo to bold tho customary taogi. The event is one of con siderablo public importance to the native people,

THE CIRCUS.

There was again a large attendanco at tho Royal Australian Circus on Saturday night, notwithstanding tho most unfavour able weather. An entirely new programme was presented, embracing fresh and attrac tive novelties. The cushion-tumbling by Willie Matthews was very clever, while the same remark would apply to tho equestrian feats of Messrs Cousens and Gillham. Duke, a pretty trick pony, was introduced, and amused tho spectators by a really wonderful per formance. Signor Bartolo excited astonishment hy his dexterity in the mani pulation of the hoops and glasses, Thp Niagara leaps and horizontal-bar feats by Messrs Tindell, Alberto, and Harris were clever. A comic equestrian scene entitled the "Swiss Lovers," by Miss Martina Cousens and Mr George Gillham, concluded the first part of the programme. " Turpm s Ride to York " followed, Mr Robert Love taking the psrt of Dick Turpin, # the notorious highwayman, to the evident delight of the juvenile portion of the audience. " Sammy " was a laughable impersonation in tho hands of Mr Wood ward, while Messrs. Harris, Gillham, Robson, Bartolo, Harrison, Miss Matthews, and Mddle. Le Rosiere, all appeared to I advantage in their respective parts. The programme, which is an excollent one, is announced for repetition this evening.

j It would seem to have been high time that a newspaper was started at Waitara, to act as consor of public morals.

After vainly re questing her to face him, ho appealed to tlie judge. "Yon must face the counsel, my good woman," said that oflicer. "An' would ye, judge," she cried indiguantly, 'have a woman o' me shtandin' face a naygur!" The judge did not insist, and Mr Morris seemed to enjoy the joke as much as anyone In tho court-room.
