PUBLIC MEETING OF CITIZENS.

Presentation to Mr and Mrs J. M. Clark,

A public meeting of citizens, for the purpose of presenting to Mr J. M. Clark (ex-Mayor) and Mrs Clark certain testimonials purchased by public subscription, in recognition of that gen tleman's services as Mayor "inring a three years' tenure of office, and of Mrs Clark's gracious dis pensation of the hospitalities of her position as Mayoress, was held this afternoon, in iha large room of the New Zealand inßuranco Company's bull ling. The place was fllled.more than IUO gentltmen being present. His Worship the Mayor (Mr W. R. Waddel) assumed the chair, while Mr Clark took a scat beside him. His Worship open»d the proceed ings with a brief statement of the purpose which brought them together, after which he read the text of the testimonial (as it has already apjeired in our columus.) He then said thathe had very greatpleasure in presenting the address and in associating with it tho kind e3t feelings of the citizens and himself towards Mr and Mrs Clark, besides expressing the hope that in time to como it would serve to reeal many pleasant recollections to their minds. He had also to present aba? of golden coin of the i calm for the purchase of an astromonical tele scope, with a suitably inscribed tilver plate to be inserted in its pedestal, and last, but by no means leist, a bound volume containing tho authographs of the subscribers. He concluded by wishing Mr and Mrs Clark and their family continued health, happiness, and prosperity.

Mr Clakk, in acknowledging the presenta tion said that he felt in an awkward position. He would not assume desert, hut he would ac cept the presents as a token of tho fact that his three years' occupancy of the mayoralty was regarded by his fellow-citizens with satisfac tion and approbation. Public men had no right to look for a reward for their services, for the consciousness of good servieo and spright con duct was iU own reward. But still public men were often rewarded, and these acknowledge ments stimulated them tofurtherotforts, hi sides offering inducements to others to enter upon a publiu career. Ref erring to the work he had done during tho last three year.", he might say that it was a labour of love— n labour that was quit^ congenial. yßes.'des that, h i liked his colleagues and found them to he very good follows. Kven beyond this, ho felt himself to be so bound up andiilentifled with tho city, that lie was glad to do her service in any capacity. He wished to assist in making her a city to be proud of, wilh broad and well-lighted streets, with handsome buildings, noblo parks, a fine Free Library, a Picture Galleoy. a College of Music, and the other institutions that tended to raise the tone and purify the tastes of a community. Still he was quite aware that the Cmncil would have attended to all these matters quite as well with his assistance as without it, and he had yielded up tho mayoralty knowing that it was to bo llllcd by a gentleman in whoso hands the in terests of tho people were safe. To His Worship the people owod an acknowledgement of able service, inasmuoh as he had been most largely instrumental in layine out and beautifying, the Albsrt Park, which he had made a regular hobby. Like himself, too, the present Mayor was largely Interested in the the purification of the water supply, as an excursion to the Wairoa Fallß this week shewed. Ho was glad that Mrs Clark's name had been associated with hisown in the presentation. She had identified horaolf with the place, for she liked both it and tho people, and in her position as wife of the Mayor had done- her duty. Mr Clark, in conclusion, ex pressed gratification at the form of the testi monial, and thanked the Mayor for his kindly expressions and the citizens for their generous remembrance of him. He said that ho intended to fit up tho microscope, so that it might bo of scientific scrvico when required. The proceedings then concluded with the passing of a voto of thanks to the Mayor, which His Worship duly acknowledged.

THAMES AND ROTORUA RAIL WAY COMPANY.

Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

The second annual meeting of shareholders in the Thames Valley and Rotoma Railway Company was held at 3 p.m. to-day. Dr J. L. Campbell presided.

Annual Rkport.—The second annual report statod that tho Droliminary stops prescribed by ." The District Railways Act" having been com pleted, a poll of ratepayers in the proposed Railway District was taken on tho 13th April last, with the result of an almost unanimous consent of the ratepayers being recorded. The total rateable value of property in tho district being £316 0, forty-five voters representing £28,5S<> 12s Cd of rateable property pave thoir consent, whilofour voters representing £413 refused it. Tho rail way district forrating purposes was then duly constitutod and theconstructionof the Hrst section of the railway authorised, by proclama tion in tho New Zealand Gazette of 2ist June, 18S3. This enabled the Board to enter at once into contracts for 113 miles of railway, and it will be gratifying to shareholders to loam that the cost of formation will not exceed their Hn gineer's original estimate- Plant for the com pletion ot this section continues to nrrlvo from from England, butowing tothedolayinopcning the Government line from Hamilton to Monna ville it cannot be passed forward to the works but remains stored at Ngaruawahia. On the 15th June last tho Directors furnished share holders with a full report of their communica tions with Government relative to the construc tion of the second section ef tho line,—namoly, that from Stowarton Junction to Hotorua. Subsequently the Directors carried out their in tention of personally inspecting the line, and they were much pleased to llnd how successfully the engineering difficulties of the route had been surmounted. They arrived at Kotorua at a time when the Government officer there con sidered it a favourable opportunity for intro ducing them to tho native chiefs who had been discussing the question of coding land by way of endowment for tho railway. The Directors conceived greathopes of a successful solution of this question, but the objectionsof the Ministers to any negotiations between tho Company and the natives proved insurmountable, and your Directors were requested to desist They have accepted the position, and loyally avoided any interference with the Government negotiations since • but they have not ceased to urec their views upon Ministers, and have used every possible means, by correspondence and personal interviews, to induce them to acquire the nced fnl landed estate with which to endow the rail way, as provided by law. The Legislature, in last session, extended tho time within which it is lawful for Government to contract for the construction of this line, and it is still possible that arrangements may be com- Dieted before the next session of Parliament; but in view of the Government not yet having been able to obtain from the natives endow ments in lieu of the rating powere Provided by law, and tho Company being prohibited from treating with the natives direct, the Board may consider it advisable to proceed with the second section of tho line under the terms of " The Railways Construction and Land Act" without waiting for the acquisition of the further endowments it is expected will be ceded under the provisions of " The Thormal Springs Act " Under the contract, which in this case would be signed, the Company receives lands of prosent value equal to 30 per cent of the cost of tho railway; and has also the Government asonrance that in the event of the natives ceding to Government for railway pur posed, such endowment will be handed over to tho Company. When armed with thlß agree ment the Directors will proceed to make snch financial arrangements In London as are necessary. It has been thought advislble to includo in your articles of asso ciation .a power for tho Company, by special resolution, to reduce its nominal capital by cancellation of unallotted Bhares. it being considered, after mature deliberation, that such power would facilitate financial.operati9ns; aid amended Articles of Association, mainly with tho object of acquiring this power, wil be submitted at the extraordinary meeting called for the purpose. Some other alterations of minor importance are also proposed as explained in the circular notice which enclosed copies of the proposod new m-tlcles. Three of your directors, Messrs Campbell, Clark, and Co^iskey? retire from office, in terms of the Articles of Association, but are eligtble, and offer themselves for re-election. It denolves upon shareholders also to elect two-audltors.- J. LOQAJf Cajipbbix, Chairman.

Statement of Accounts.-The accounts submitted shewed the expenditure including «23 2U for Dlant and rolling stock, amounted to fiSl'woS Receipts Included £22,390 as tho VSoceeds of seven calls, and amounted to «2fiMff 18 M; bank of £3,333 2s Id m^fctaKup the defic&ncy. The balanco-sheet Btiflwod that calls to the amount of £15.; <1 i a Cd were still unpaid, while Oie expenditure on account of the railway was set down at £37,<55 9slod. Extraordinary Meeting. An extraordinary meeting was held im mediately afterwards. The CnAiRMAN moved:—"That the existing Articles of Association be rescinded, and that the Articles of Association, for warded by post to each member of the Company, and which are now before this meeting signed by the Chairman of the Company, and sealed with the Company s seal, be substituted therefor." The Engineer's report estimates the total cost of section 2 at £200,000.

The Chairman, in moving tho adoption of the report, said that but for the obstruc tion of the Government the line would have been completed, and the validity of the Rotorua leases would then never have been questioned. The report was adopted. Messrs Camp bell Clark, and Comiskey were re-elected Directors, and Messrs Milne and Way mouth Auditors.

The Registrar of the Supreme Court to^ day adjudged John Gunn Mclntosh, of R*muera, a bankrupt on his own petition. . . Another interesting Bpecimen of the book canvassing fraternity ha, beer.making him self notorious Last night DetecU,e Hughes arreeted a man named John Mac- Mil Tan on the charge of larceny as a bailee of a book entitled " The Life of St. Patrick, valued at 50s, and this morning the man speared at the Police Court and was re nHod until Friday. The history of the book referred to is a rather novel one. It ap pears that it was originally sold by Hobalt of Hobson-street, for whom MacMillan was a canvasser, to Mrs Flynn, of Victoria street, and that subsequently, on March Bth, MacMillan called on her and borrow ed the book, stating that he wished to show it to a neighbour. With the book in bis possession, the canvasser paid a visit to Mrs Anne Carrol, and to her he disposed^ the volume for 50s on the defend payment system. He received 5s on account, gave delivery of the book and bogus receipts. Two days after the same remarkable individual returned to Mra Carroll, and requested her to lend him the "Life'of St. Patrick" for a few minutes, because he wished to f™'t£a neighbour.

"DOCTOR" RODGERS IN TROUBLE.

He is Arrested on a Charge or Larceny.

An enterprising individual who has ac quired some notoriety m the country districts of this province as "Doctor Rod gers," and who also rejoices in the alias of Cecil Johnston, was arrested this afternoon by Detective Hughes on the charge of stealing a case of surgical instruments, the property of the Auckland Timber Company, from Mercury Bay. The prisoner has been wanted "for some time" on various charges of larceny, and " from information received," Detective Hughes to-day traced him to the New Zealand Timber Mill, where he is employed in the moulding department. It is alleged that while at Mercury Bay recently he borrowed the instruments which he is now charged with stealing, and disappeared subsequently very suddenly, forgetting at the same time to return the articles. The prisoner haß been recognised as an individual who obtained some notoriety in Waikato a short timb ago by representing himself as a member of the Church and a friend of Bishop Cowie's, and on the strength of these recommendations impos ing on the various settlers to the extent of gratuitous board and lodging for some time. He is also alleged to have absconded from Mahurangi with the proceeds of a benefit concert. He has in Ilia pos session a quantity of visiting cards, on which the title, "Dr. G. \V. Rodgeis "is inscribed. It is alleged that he practiced at Mercury Bay and received fees, besides getting the use of the company's medicines and having a meeting of working men called to provide a guarantee fund for him to stay. It is stated that while at Mercury Bay he delivered "a woman. He is possessed of a letter which he asserts was written and signed by Dr. Carpenter, of London, allowing that he had attended the course of lectures prescribed for medical students. He assured all those with whom he became acquainted that he was a msmber of the Royal College of Surgeons. Besides the present charge, Rodgers will be tried for the larceny of books from the Customs Hotel, and for other alleged offences.

[Since the above was written we have ascertained that last evening this notorious imposter waited on the Rev. Mr Tebbs in the Vestry of St. Matthew's Church, and thinking that he was unknown to that gentleman, represented himself as Mr Johnston, a "medical student,"just arrived by the Manapouri." Mr Tebbs kept his knowledge to himself, nnd the soi-dUant medical student wont on to say that he intended to be present at the Church next Sunday, and ho had merely called to notify the clergyman of his intention. He then went. off into general topics, informing Mr Tebbs that it was hia inten tion to proceed to Sydney, and there com plete his medical studies, and at the samo time qualify himself for the ministry, as ho felt that ho had a " call" to evangeliso the poor heathens of New Guinea. He then went on to deplore the fact that Auckland was such an iinmbral city, and rnado special reference to the wickedness of tho young men. With reference to the Pris oner's Aid Society, ho deplored its in efficiency here, and stated that ho had been engaged in assisting in the work of St. Giles's Prisoners' Aid Society, London, and that he had frequently himself waited at tho door of tho Coldbath Fields Prison, with a view to tho reformation of the prisoners on emerging. Ho rcgiet;<d that he had not sufficiently used the talents with which ho was endowed. After some further conversation the good young man went away, evidently satisfied that he had duly impressed tho incumbent of St. Matthew's. Mr Tebbs did not feel justified in detaining the' impostor but communicating with the authorities this morning waR ablo to give tho latest de scription of his appearance and his pro bable whereabouts. Tho chances are that Johnston will add a course of practical geology to his curriculum. A letter, warn ing the public against this modern Perkin Warbeck, appears elsewhere.

This morning, before nino o'clock, a scene of a very unusual charactor wjs witnessed in Mechanics' Bay. An infuriated bullock, the property of Mr Bond, butcher, North Shore, had taken to the water on the other side, and after swimming right across the waters of the harbour, cast dismay into the hearts of people in the vicinity of Mechanics' Bay by his strange antics in the water. Finding that it was no new kind of sea-cow, nor even a sea-serpent that was invading our shores, some hardy denizens of the neighbourhood sent out two butchers' boys on horseback to impound tho frisky animal, but it had no intention of being taken, and charged the horses repeatedly, compelling them at last ,to beat a retreat. The two brothers Hodgson then took up the pursuit, and adopting new tactics, got a rope round the bul lock's neck and succeeded in dragging him to the yards of Messrs Hunter and Nolan. Here the vicious brute was identified as one sold not long since to Mr Bond, and the supposition that it had swam across the harbour was fully confirmed. The bullock now peacefully chews the cud of content in the sale-yards, though it seems to have a hearty dislike of North Shore Bondage.

A child of about two years of age, named Irvine, had a narrow escape from poisoning yesterday. There are growing on the side of Gaol Road, Mount Eden, a number of bushes bearing the poisonous tupaki or tutu berries; and the little one, playing about unobserved, ate a number of these—the consequence being a violent sickness and prostration. The mother and neighbours did what they could to relieve the Bufferer; but as their efforts were unsuccessful, the child was removed to the Hospital, where the proper remedies were administered, and after a time all danger waa over. Parents in the district cannot be too careful in cautioning their children against these berries • but it is difficult to convey to those of tender years a sense of the danger in curred, and the proper remedy is tohave the objectionable bushes destroyed. If thenpw no proper authority to do this, heads .of families" should sco to it. The Waitemata Minstrels have offered to gsrfflfs. t%JffiSsssssf wsssj^s Sntsual treat are to bo placed in our columps almost immediately.

From advertisement in another column, it will be seen that the Naturalists' Field Chib have arranged for an excursion to the South Head, Manukau Harbour, on Monday next (St. Patrick's Day). The excursionists will be con veyed by a special tram, leaving Auckland at 8 o'clock, and from Onehunga by. steamer Hannah Mokau. Tieketß eon be obtained from Messrs Champtaloup and Cooper, J. A.
