INSTALLATION OF MAYOR OF PARNELL.

Tun Borouirli Council of rtirnell met at. the office, Manukau Road, this day, at noon. Mr Robert Walker, the retiring Mayor, having handed over the keys of-office to tho Mayor-elect (Mr D. If. McKeHzio), thanked the Council for tho courtesy and assistance extended to him during the two years he had tilled the chair. The Mayor-elect having taken the chair and subscribed the usual declaration, said it could scarcely be expected that ho could devote so much time to the duties of the borough an the late Mayor, whoso time was nearly all his own, but that lie would do all in his power to carry on tho business in a satisfactory mannar. C'r. Winks moved a vote of thanks to tlie retiring Mayor, and ex pressed his regret that they should loso the eminont services of a gentleman who had ■dovoted nesi'Jy his whole time to the in terests of the borough, and hoped that ut dome future timo ho may be prevailed upon to a^ain devote his talents for the benefit of the Council. Mr Councillor Baiber, iv seconding the motion, cordially agreed with what Mr Winks had said. jfr Walker, in responding, said he was fairly entitled to a little rest after his lengthy eerTice, and although his official connection with the borough was ended, he would still tako a lively interest in all its concerns, and do everything in his power to further its interests.

Mn Origg desires to express her sincere thanks to the press, tho police, and friends for kindness and respect shown to her late husband, Mr Hicham Grigg,
