THE GOVERNOR'S BALL.

The ball given at Government House last night was attended by upwards of 500 ladies nnd gentlemen, and is pronounced to have been the most brilliant affair of the kind ever held in this city. As the visitors arrived, they were received and welcomed by the distinguished host and hostess. His Excellency was dressed id th 6 striking uniform of a Lieutenant-General of Engineers, and he was decoiated with the star and riband of the order of the Grand Cross of St. Michael and St. George. Among the guests were tbe Speaker of the Bouse of Jttepresentatives (Sir G. M, O'Borke), a large number of the Auckland members of both Houses of Legislature, and Bishops Cowie and Luck. Tbe ladies' toilettes were rich and diversified, fairly excelling,both in costliness and taste, those displayed at the recent Citizens' Ball, while it appeals to ba generally concoucd that in these latter respects Mrs Thomas Morrin outshone all her fair companions. Silks and satins were the principal materials displayed, and the styles were iashionable. The ball-room wasspaciousand well-lighted. Mr Impey's band discoursed the dance music admirably, and refreshments were sumptuously provided. Dancing began at S o'clock and terminated soon after 12. We append the programme : — Valse (Veoetia), Valsc (La Prineesse), Polka (Woodcutter), Lancers (Coo tea' Favourite), Valse (My Queen), Galop iKeiter), Valse (Beautiful Ferns), Polka (Le Premier Pas).

BOARD OF EDUCATION.

The ordinary weekly meeting of the Board of Education was held this afternoon. There were present: Messrs Lai-hley (In the chair), Moss, Luke, Dargaville, Clark, Hobbs, McKenzie, Goldie,

Weekly ok Fortnightly Meetings. —Mr Dargaville moved his motion, of which notice had been given, rescinding the pre vious resolution providing for weekly, inmead of tortuisljily, meetings.—A lengthy cU.cub sion took place on the suoject, during the course of which some personal rccriwiua tion was indulged in. Tue motiou for fortnightly meetings was lost on the castiug vote of the chairman. The s&ow of hands resulted as follows : — For: Messrs Dargaville, Luke, Musb, aud Clark. Against : Messrs, Hobbs, McKenzie, Goldie, and the chairman.

JimcTiOM of a MtMßKit. — ibo time for receiving nominations for the vacant seat on the Board having expired, it was an nounced that Mr W. P. Buckland was tbe only candidate nominated, and he was de clared elected.

Grafton Koad.—The chairman laid the school Committee now reported on the charges brought against Mr Talbot, of this school, and forwarded the evidence. Tbe report had a tendency to exonerate Mr Talbot. tie thought tbe best thing they could do would be to reicr tbe evidence to a committee of the Board, to report upon.— Mr Goldie thought the Board should make the cha>ges public; the newspapers hav ing already stated tbat charges were made. It might be thought that these charges were of immorality, whereas they were not — The chairman said there were other matters in the report besides Kennedy's charge, and whether they were against him or not, the preliminary consideration of the evidence should be by a committee of the Board.— Mr Dargavillo objected to these charges being allowed to hang over Talbot's head. He could say that the evidence entirely disproved the main charge by Mr Kennedy. —The motion for the appointment of a committee of four was agreed to.—Mr Dargaville was proposed to act, but he declined to act on the ground tbat he bad strong convictions that Talbot was being persecuted.—Mr Moss said he had a strong conviction that lalbot was being per secuted.—Messrs Luke, Hobbi, Mcheuzie, Goldie, and the chairman were appointed a committee for the purpose.

The Oranqk Society.—llection of Committee,—Some discussion took place on the question of the appointment ot a head master for Gnifton, and on the motion of Mr Dargaville, the matter was deferred till after the report of the committee on Talbot's case had baen received.—ln this connection, Mr Moss said he had always uphold the rights of school committees, but he now drew attention to the important in fluence that bad been exercised on the last elections by a powerful society. Looking atthc influences on that election, he thought that when school committee! came into conflict with the Board they should go back to tbe householders fur re-election, to prove that they possessed the confidence ot their electors. If this wete not done, the Board could not attach the importance to the recom mendations of the committees that they otherwise would. Mr Goldie took occasion to reply to these remark). He referred to an article on the subject .that bad appeared in one of tbe local papers, and said that if Mr Moss wa« not the writer of tbat article, he was the person who had furnished tbe information,—Mr Moss rose to explain. He was not connected with any portion < f the Press in Auckland, and he knew noth ing of the article iv question, which, Mr Goldie said, had appeared in tbe "Herald,"—Mr Goidle said Mr Moss had stated that the elections were influenced by a secret society.-Mr Mots; A wide-awake and powerful society.—Mr Goldie: Well, a wide-awake and power ful society.—Mr Goldie proceeded to say that this was the first year the Orange Society had taken action regarding the elections, but the Giafton election was not influenced by ■ tbe society. All the members at present on the committee had been there foi three, two, or one years, and he was a recent arrival there.—Mr Moss again disclaimed any connection with the article in question, and the matter was allowed to drop.

Te Akai.— This was an application for a teacher's dwelling for Mr J. JN. Marsdon, but the Board decided that it had not funds for the purpose. TOTABA.—On the motion of Mr Me- Eenzte, it was decided that plans and specifications be prepared for a teacher's residence. Bombay.— £6 was voted for sconaj

Auokland City.—Agreed to aaye a class of twenty pupils In Wellesley-street School in connection with the Training Class. Cambridge. —An application for a grant f or cottage was refused. FOKTMGHTLY MBETIKOS.—Mr Dar gaville again gave notice for the rescinding of former resolutions in favour of weekly meetings, and providing that meetings be held each alternate Friday, He held thatsix members were iin favour of fortnightly meetings, against three who voted the other way,- and thought the chairman would scarcely vote as he had done agaio. Mr Bucklaud would be present to vote for his resolution at next meeting, and even if defeated then, he would bring it up every week till it was carried.

DiIVONPOHT.—An. application was re ceived asking for extra grant for improve ment of school ground, but it was decided to draw attention to the circular already issued, declaring that the Board would not hold itself liable for certain outlays,

FOOTBALL MATCHES AT PARAWI.

The matches arranged to bo played by our two Football Clubs against Auckland teams look place yesterday at' Parawai. The first, Shortland v. Auckland Albert Club, was begun at 11.30, and was finished at 1 o'clock. Erwin captained the Short land, and Lechy the Auckland Club, The umpires chosen wero Messrs May and Wbiteside, the lattter being captain of the club which was to play tbe Thames. This match was drawn, both sides scoring a touch-down, On account of the showery weather the ground was in a very swampy state, aad the players at the conclusion of the match were very wet and muddy. A closo contest was maintained between the teams throughout, the play of every mem ber being very good. A sllpht accident happened when the contest was about half finished. One of tho Short land men came in contact with one of the visitors and received v nasty out on the head. He left the ground, and an other took his place. About 2 o.clock the other t-am arrived. The Tbames men were captained by Steward, and tbe viiittrs by Wbiteside. Messrs Lowe and Cosson officiated as umpires, A few minutes after the match began YVhifeaide, for the Aucklander*, nearly (cored a goal. Wbiieside ran with the ball, and -was tossed just in time to save a touchdown. Both teams were apparently well matched, the game being alternately kept at each gaol. About ten minutes after the game was commenced Christie scored a, touch down for tho Tbames, bat no goal was obtained. Not long atterwards the Auok landers obtained a touchdown, and both sides were now equal. In tbe third hear, however, tho /ucklunders icorod another touchdown, but no goal was kicked. Tho Thames team then stopped icdring, and tbe Auckland men won the match by a touchdown. The teams were very evenly matched, although tbe visitors had in their team two or three ot the best players in Auckland.

The members of the Auckland (earn were entertained at a dinner last evening in tbe Oddfellows Hall, where a pleasant meetiLg took place.

Provisional Directors : J. C. Cairns, Mangere James Mason, Parnell J Faibburn, Otahuhu B. Lippiatt, Otahuhu T. W. lliokson, Auckland. Bankers: Colonial Bank of New Zealand. Secretary, pro tkm: J, T. Melville. Solicitous : Messrs Connell and Cooper. OBJECTS. The operations of thia Company will consist ot the Growing of Apples on an extensive soale. with the object not only of supplying tho local market, but also of exporting choice varioties of dessert fruit to England and America, and It may be, other countries north of the line. Owing to the difference of seasons In the two hemis phere, the Company would be in a position to offer the fruit consumers of these countries fresh apples at any time of the year, when their looal supply would be almost exhausted. LAND. The land to bo taken over by the Company consists of 226 acres, on the east bank of the Tamaki River, being lots 13, and part of lots 42 and 46, Parish of Paauranea; first-class agricul tural land, fenced, drained, and well cultivated. Price, £25 an acre. The terms of payment areosooptionally favour able to the Company—namely, £650 deposit. Hi ■ balance to remain at 7 per cent, per annum fo. t term of five years, when, if the Company is > < > in a position to pay it off out of the profits, a£i r payment of dividends averaging 10 per cent, per annum to Bhareholdeaß on paid-up capital, the rate of interest will bereduoed to 6 per cent per annum, and remain at that until tho Company can so pay it TREES. These were selected and secured early in the season, and are the pick of the looal nurseries being as fine an assortment as could be prooured under tbe most favourable conditions. The price will average about 9d each. Ages ranging from one to five years: principally two years old. Over fifty thousand secured for this sea- Bon's planting. The cost to the Company of the Orchard, when fully planted at 10 feet apart (500 trees per acre), will amount to 2s Cd per tree, in eluding land and all other expenses.* Allowing £6 6s per acre for, culture, interest, and expenses the first year, will bring the cost up to 2s fid per tree. The system of close planting and thorough cultivation Intended to be adopted by the Com pany has been proved by actual experience highly conducive to early and heavy bearing. and consequently the realisation of quick and profitable returns. The following statement will show the difference in first cost per tree under the system of planting, as compared with that ordinarily adopted. 500 TREES PER ACRE 10 FEET APART— QUINCUNX ORDER.

The second year after planting, a bonus of £1 per acres under "The Forest Trees Planting Encouragement Act," t together with an average of 3d worth of fruit per tree. I will cover the year's expenses at the rate ot £7 2s 6d_per acre, acd pay a dividend of 9 per cent The third year an average of 6d worth of fruit per tree will provide for £8 6s 8d per aore expenses, and a dividend of 12 per cent. The fourth year an average of Is worth of fruit per tree will pro vide for expenses at the liberal rate of £1510s per acre, and allow a dividend of 25 per cent t Clause 4 of the Regulations unedrthe above named Act reads thus:—"4. The trees may be of any description, and the number planted must be at the rate of not less than five hundred per acre." t The allowance made In this estimate of an average of 3d worth of fruit per tree, the second year; 6d the third; Is the fourth, and 2s the nfth, is considered absurdly low by many practical growers, and it may be as well to mention that while these quantities are used in this estimate, there is every reason to believe that they will prove far below actual results, and that the returns will warrant the payment of dividends even greater than is herein calcu lated upon—for instance, if the returns exceed any of tho above-named averages by twopenoe worth of fruit per tree, it would bo equivalent to an additional twelve per cent, dividend. Nothing at all is allowed in this estimate for the increased value of the land and stock (only the actual returns in fruit being taken into account), but the profit from this source alone would be very considerable, and there is no extravagance in the assumption that In five years time from tho commencement, the capital value of each tree, with the ground it occupied, would stand at not less than five shillings, representing a profit of more than 22s 6d per share, exclusive of profitß from sale of fruit. The fifth year an average of 2s worth of fruit per tree will cover expenses at the rate of £18 15a per acre, provide for the balance of the pur chase money of the land (£5,003), besides pay ment of a dividend of 16 per cent. Every pennyworth of fruit per tree over and above expenditure will yield a profit of 6 per cent, on paid-up oapital. Supposing, then, from this period forward £25 per acre (one shilling per tree) is allowed for expenses, every addi tional shilling's worth of fruit per tree will give a profit of 72 (seventy-two) per cent, on paid-up capital. Approximately, each share will entitle the holder to the produce or profits from Jive trees, after deducting proportionate expenses for culture and care. ' - As the possibility ol disposing of such quanti ties of fruit as an orchard ot this size would produce haa been questioned, it may be as well to draw attention to the rapidly increasing faci lities for sending not only meat, but fresh fruit, to the London and, Continental markets, and also to the fact that within 40 days of being gathered in oar autumn, our apples may be placed on the Covent Garden fruit stalls in the English Spring. Packed in cool cham bers adjacent to the frozen meat compartments in the direct stoamors, the fruit will keep much fresher than if stored for the same length of time in New Zealand Anyone acquainted with London markets need not be informed of the ready sale and high prices obtainable for any thing in the shape of fresh fruit out of the ordinary English season. The CaUfornlan market also ie one not to be despised; A popu lation accustomud to consuming apples largely during ten months of the year must prove good customers during the other two, when their own supply runs out and ours comes to. The opening of the Panama Canal is also ex pected to take place in about five or sixyears, for fitftfSl^MgS lantarowa fruit, not only in London, but in all WsueßoitheKasternStatesof America and the Continent of Europe. No apprehension Seed therefore befelt as regards a market for ourproduce, nor from competition In supplying Thore is every reason to anticipate that this undertaking will prove so highly profitable to 1 Us shareholders that it will become the nucleus I Of one of the largest and most important iudua- I tries yet developed in Auckland. I Further particulars may bo had and Sharo i List inspected at the Office of the Company. Jiu ,c;£ .-» ;.J.T.MELVILLE, I Sec pro tern* Offices: Over Goodson's London Aroade, Queen-street.
