MEETING OF NEWMARKET RATEPAYERS.

A meeting of tho ratepayers of this district Tins hold at the Newmarket Hfll last even ing ior the purpose of considering the best means of obtaining a drainage and water supply for the district. Mr W. Morgan was voted to the chair. A sultry discussion took place between Messrs Suiter, Walker, and F. A. White, the two latter asserting that the meeting had not been legally called, and the former asserting that the meeting was legally called. Mr J. Taite moved that the district be formed into a town district, and that £5,000 be borrowed for water and drainage. In supporting the motion he said that this would not necessitate a greater amount of additional rating than lsin the £. Mt Suiter moved that it be an instruction from the meeting to the Board, that it take steps to provide the district with drainago and water. Speaking in support of the motion, ho said that Newmarket was in a filthy condition from the want of drainage, and owing to the dust, as much as a foot of mud collected in the tanks every tliroo month. Owing to tho want of water supply the Insurance Com panies would not accept risks at less than 44s per £100; if they had a supply they could get insured at 30s per £100. The difference on the insurance rates made tho rating in Newmarket higher than the highest rate that could be charged by the city. Had Newmarket a drainago and water supply five years ago there would be four times the number of houses and houses would bo more valuable. The cost of a drainage scheme would be £3,G00, and of a water supply £s,f>")o {including side streets), lie advocated generally the joining of the city. Mr Jenkins supported Mr Suitei's amendment. Mr Morris opposed the amendment, and said that he and the others were prepared to sink a well and lend New market i'l,ooo for tho purpose of pumping the water. After some discussion Mr Suiter withdrew his amendment and moved tho following, " That the ratepayers of Newmarket in public meeting assembled do hereby authorise the lioad Board to take immediate steps to join the Newmarket district on to tho city of Auckland on such terms and conditions as may seem to them expedient in order to procure a water supply and drainage scheme. Mr McColl seconded and strongly supported the amendment. He said the cheapest and best method of obtaining water and drain ago was by joining the city. He pointed out that under tho Town Board Act they would be liable to a county rate and thus tho taxation would really bo higher than if they joined the city. Mr Suiter's amend ment was put and lost, and the motion being put was also lost. Mr Jenkins said that the Government had offered the Board 30ft along the road from the Hall to the Remuera Koad on condition that the Board moved the fence. He moved that the meet ing authorise tho Board to spend £30 for the removal of the fence so as to secure the widening of the main road. Mr Edwards and Mr Walker denied that tho Government had given the land. Mr Bishop offered to contribute £5 to move back the fence, Mr Suiter said that Mr Coon had objected to 30 feet being taken off the railway reserve, but he had no objection to giving the Board 20 feet for the road. He urged that the ratepayers should accept the oiler. Mr Clayton moved an amend ment to the effect that the money be not voted, as tho side of tho road was not in the Newmarket district. The motion was car ried. Tko customary compliment to the Chairman concluded tho meeting.

AUCKLAND REGATTA CLUB

A MEETING of subscribers to tho Auckland Regatta Club was held In the Waitemata Hotel last evening for tho purpose of re vising tho rules and regulations. Tiie Committee submitted the following altera tions, which were adopted:—

Alteration in Rule 19—"'No vessel in a race is allowed to shift ballast, nor to carry water ballast, nor to project any weight or lever outside the gunwale to windward, nor to use oars, paddles, or poles, nor to make use of bailer or rudder in any other than a legitimate manner, nor to wet tho sails after starting. Open boats and yachts to have their ballast floored over and sealed down. No fins allowed. Addition to Rule lIS—"Tho Committee re serve tho right of taking any entry, and may also refuse to start any boat or vessels in any race should _ circum stances in their opinion justify them in doing so. Insertion of new rule (40), " Each person entering a boat or vessel in any race, shall sign a copy of these regula tions as an acknowledgment of their consent to bo governed thereby, and each com petitor will be supplied with a copy." (41) "Any violation of these regulations may cause the aggressor to forfeit all claim toaprize." Addition to rule 5 : "Thestarter shall have power to impose fines, not exceeding £5, or to disqualify any com petitor not complying with his instruc tions." Addition to rule G : "Post entries to take west-southerly position." Alteration in Rule 10—"Centreboard vessels when competing with keel boats shall start with their centre-boards sealed up or down (at the option of each competitor) Centre-boards once fixed shall not be worked during the race." Eliminated from Rule 20—" Depth of false keels not to exceed one-half the depth of main keels. In the event of any vessel carrying water ballast, such water to bo fresh, and will be examined by a member of Committee immediately after the race.

A preliminory programme was also ar ranged. The llob Roy Canoe Race was omitted, but otherwise the programme is the same as that of the previous year.

MEETING OF ENGINEERS.

A meeting of engineers, boiiermnkers, millwrights, patternmakers and copper smiths was held at the Working Men's Club last night.for the purpose of adopting a standard allowance in respect of all out door wofk, to take the place of the present system of " dirt money." 25 persons wore present, Mr T. P. Miller being in the chair. The Committee which had been appointed at a previous meeting to frame a scheme of standard out-door allowance brought down the following plan:—" Ist. Within a radius of li miles from workshops, Is per day of 8 hours extra as allowance money on old work out of shops, any fractional part of a day worked to count as one day's allowance money. 2nd. Over 1_ miles and not ex ceeding 10 miles Is Gd per day on old and new work. 3rd. Pare t>y road or sea in all cases to bo paid by employer. 4th. The usual overtime rate to be paid on all overtime occupied in travelling to and from a job. 6th. Board and lodgings to bo paid in all cases where such a distance is travelled as to necessitate the staying away from home all night." After a lengthened discussion, the words "and new " were struck out of the second rule, and with this amendment the rules were passed. A Gth rule was added, providing that all new work except contract should be charged for at the rate of Is per day, irrespective of distance It was further resolved that out door allowance should be substituted for " dirt monoy." Also that the signature of all members of the trade should be ob tained to the rules, as a preliminary step to their submission to the employers. A vote of thanks was passed to the press, and was duly acknowledged by the representa tive of the Star,

SIR JULIUS ON WHEELS.

Vogollsm "Without the Break On."

(by telegrami—own correspondent.)

Ci-RlSTchurcii, this day. Mr A. G. Howland has just completed a well-finished invalid chair or carriage, which he intends to present to Sir Julius Vogel. _ It appears that Sir Julius, wishing to obtain a handy convenience to take him from his reeidence to the House and being unable to get anything suitable in Welling ton, sent to a friend in Christchurch to see if something of the sort could be found him. As nothing of a suitable kind could be found, Mr Howland, who heard of the affair, took upon himself to make a carriage and request Sir Julius's acceptance of it. This vehicle is now finished, and is a very good specimen of work. Is is intcntcd to be pushed by a man, and is provided with a steerinc wheel and handle for guiding it The carriage is hung on four springs, and is painted dark green with five lines of lighter shade of green. It is upholstered in bufialo leather and the cushion of the seat is fastened to a moveable frame provided with handles so that the occupant can be lifted out of the carriage without difficulty.

Christch.rch, this day,—A meeting of the Oxford Licensing Bench was held on Wednesday, in accordance with a manda mus of the Supreme Court, to consider the case of the Oxford Hotel, for which a re newal of license was refused at last sitting. After consideration it was resolved to grant a new license fer the hotel,

KIDNAPPING BOYS.

Strange Stay of Disappearance an Recovery.

Chbistchurch, this day, A mystery, which has given the police of the colony_a deal of trouble during tho past nine months, lias been satisfactorily cleared up during the past few days by the dis covery of a boy who disappeared as far back as December last. The lad in ques tion, Edward Cox, son of a respectable farmer at Gust, was at tho time between 13 and 14 years of ac, and was employed on Captain Mil ton's station, Bireliill, in Ashley district. On December 15th last year he left Birchill with an old man named Hay Telamyne Travers, but without the knowledge or consent of his parents. He had some £7 or £8 of wages in his possession. On Decem ber 14th the parents heard of his llight,..nd communicated with the police. It was known he had gone towards Kaikoura, but for a while no trace of the runaway could be obtained. Some few days afterwards, however, the constable stationed at Waiou ascertained that an old man answering Travers's description, accompanied by two boys, had left Waiou for Kaikoura. On December ISth the man with one of Llie boys slept at the Adelphe Hotel, Kaikoma. On being questioned as to the lad Cox, he said he had obtained a situation in (he neigh bourhood. Constable Smart made diligent inquiries throughout tho district, but no trace of young Cox could bo found. Tho old man had meanwhile left, having given out he was going to the North Island. There was little doubt that wherever lie was lie had taken the lad Cox with him, for tho other boy who was seen in his company at the Waiou soon afterwards lelurned to his homo. Until a few days ago, however, nothing Mas seen or heard of tho runaviays, though the lad.-.' names were puh'ishedin the "Police Gazette ' among "Missing Friendsf" and inquiries were made throughout Marl borough, West Coast, Auckland, and other parts of the colony. One day last week the mystery was elucidated. A man answering the description of Travers was arrested by the police at Ahaura on tho West Coast for horse-stealing. He was questioned as to the boy, and admitted that the latter was living at tho house of a man named McDonald, at Ahaura. His statement was found to be correct, and tho police on this side of tho island were in formed of tho fact. The boy's parents who had grieved for the lad as dead, or irre coverably lost, wore communicated with, and yesterday morning a telegram was sent to the Ahaura police asking them to send the young wanderer back.

To the Editor: Sir,—Esau sold his birth right for a mess of pottage. Li your special correspondent's information regarding tha Premier's opinion of the Railways Con struction Land Act is correct, viz., that tha .principle of subsidising railway companies to the extent of 30 per cent, in land ia bad, and that he is opposed to the Act, then the Canterbury people have indeed sold their birthright also, for the very thing which gar c Sir Julius Vogel such a largo majority in Christchurch North was the sup port he promised to their East and WestCqpsfl Railway, cne of his utterances being that ho not only approved of a company con« structing their line, but would advocate the giving of even more than 30 per cent, in land to induce capitalists to come forward to construct the line. Sir, " coming events cast their shadows before." Canterbury may consider itself sold, and New Zealand will probably share the fate of Canterbury, for experience shows that increase of power tends to foster forgetfulness of pledges, and expediency is made the plea of working all things for personal advancement.—l am, &C, SOHKY FOR CimiSTI'IIUI-C-I N011T...

To Editor " The Press," Christchurch. Dear Sir—Bcinp: a firm non-believer in patent or proprietory Medicines, my testimony may be of some value to you. Last week I suffered acutely from severe contraction of the nerves ot the neck and shoulder. A friend laughingly suggested St. Jacobs Oil, and I invested in a bottle, rubbing it well in at night beforo retiring. The feeling o£ warmth and counter-irritation 1 experienced almost immediately was very, strong ; and I am pleased to state that I awoke next morning with hardly any traco of pain. A lecond and le3S prolonged application cured ma completely. A bad chilblain on my ear was re moved with one nibbing. "You may mention my name as an authority on St. Jacobs Oil.—l remain, dear Sir, faithfully yours, D. Benjamin.
