A Gooil Effigy Story. There has been a good deal of fun uu< chaff with the inducement of irritatio: among members over the effigy-burnini which has prevailed in Canterbury am Otago districts, promoted in most instance by the defeated candidates or political op ponents of the members. The bost story however, is that about Mr Pyko, whos enemies had prepared an effigy reprosontin; the hon. member. Thoy had also appointee a jud-'o and jury, and wer. prepnr.d ti carry out tho Court with great solemnity When theJudgosaid "Drinfcintheprisoner,' and the constable left the Court tor tin pnrpose, he found that the body-had beoi spilited away by somo friend, and coult not be found. Commenting on this efflgj business, the " Dun-tan Times, a journa published in the centre of Mr Pykesdis triet says:—"Wo do not question the right of a Dunedin crowd to treat witl contumely and insult its own represen tatives, but wo protest, and that in a most emphatic manner, against its interference with the constituency of Dtinstan by the action of this crowd. We will not insult the intelligence of Dunedin city by sup po«in<* that it consisted of other than the street-corner loafer, the would-make believe unemployed and tag-rag-and-bob tail of the back slums. Not only has a irontleman who commands tho confidence of an electorate that may with but little stretch be styled Central Otago, been grossly outraged, but his constituency has been unwarrantably insulted." Bills to bo Introduced. Notico has been given of tho following bills :—Maori representation (Mr Taiaroa), Foreign Companies (Mr Stout), Local Courts (Mr Stout), Bankruptcy Act Amendment (Mr Stout), Spence's Restora tion of Water Right (Captain Morris), Tauranga Harbour (Captain Sea mans' Representation (Mr Bruce). Interest in Parliamentary Proceedings. Somo little disappointment appears to havo been caused by the House not sitting last night. Up till eight o'clock there was v crowd waiting patiently outsido tho fit-rangers' gallery, wiiilo at 7..'10 n number of ladies wero seated in tho ladies' gallery axpocting the proceedings to commence. The Houses, it should bo mentioned, are kept dimly lighted every evening. It was some time beforo unfortunates wore discovered and infor.ned of tho stato of affairs, and even after they had separated. ladies were arriving in twos and threes, only to be " sold." Railway to Te Arolta, It is tho intontion of Mr J. B. Whyte to a3k the Government whether they intend, during the coming sninmor, to complete the railway between Waikato and Te Arohn, on which comparatively little re mains to bo done, and also whether, pend ing its completion, they will make the combined railway and traffic bridge over tlio Thames River at Te Aroha available for ordinary traffic, cither by completing the permanent approaches, or by means of temporary approaches. Tho Fight for tho Chairmanship. The first party tight since the formation of the Ministry comes off to-day oyer tho election of Chairman of Committees. Both sides have been lobbying vigorously, but it is belioved the Opposition have a majority for Mr Ilmnlin again. Mr Steward is the .Government candidate. A Cleyer Ministerial Manceuvre. The Government worked Mr Bvadshaw's election as Chairman of the Native Affairs Committee to-day very cleverly. They talked Mr Lovestam's motion out yesterday, .so that, Major Atkinson's notice adding Mr .Vakeflold to tho Committee could not come fin. Mr Ormond, who has supported Col. Trimble, absented himself from the Com mittee today, and Mr Bradshaw having a majority was elected., Col. Trimble thus loses and Mr Bradshaw gains £100 a year. Mr Hamlin's Chances. There is somo doubt whether the Govern ment will bring the Chairmanship of Com merce on to-day it has been put so low down on tho order paper. They think Mr Hamlin has at present a majority, and have asked him not to make it a party question. This he agreed to, and Mr Fulton will pro pose and Mr Joyce Second him. Though not formally made a party question all Ministerialists arc, of course, being urged fco vote for Mr Stewart.

UNLAWFULLY CUTTING KAURI TIMBER.

(BY TELMKAPH.—OWN COR3ERFO.i-.ENT.)

Thames, Friday.

The mining regulations in respect to the cutting of kauri timber on the goldiields have been much abused for some timo past, it being a common practice for bush contractors to fell considerable numbers of trees in excess of those for which they aro licensed. The revenue of the County Council suffers seriously in consequence, and that body has instigated the Mining Inspector to take proceedings against offenders. . , In the Warden's Court yesterday, the maximum penalty, £5, with costs £18 10s, was imposed upon' Charles Mannell, of Tapu, for this offence. When delivering judgment, the Warden characterised the offence as a type of larceny, and advised that all future proceedings be instituted in criminal form, under the Larceny Act, at the same time informing defendant ho was civilly liablo for the full value for every tree cut.

FOOTBALL MATCHES.

North Shore and Ponsonby v. General

Combination,

On the Domain Crickot Ground to-morrow after noon one of tho best football matches of the season will probably bo witnessed—vi... between North Shore and Ponsonby combined against a team chosen from the five other Association clubs. It will bo remembered that, owing to the easy victories of tho New Zealand football team during their recent visit to Australia, the attendance at the matches was meagre, and the gate-money consequently proved iii.uilicient to meet expenses. It is proposed to raise Auck land's share of the deficit by having the above match, admission to the grounds being charged for. Great interest has been manifested by the public in the various club matches duringthc season, and, although tlio Pom-onby Club has again secured first honours, yet tho contests have been very close, producing many ties. Tho teams have been carefully choson, no doubt, but still an improvement might have been made. The combined team suffer, by the absence of Hyan, who is ill; Moginie and Carter, who, although Intel-provincial men, have not b.-un include, by the Selection Com mittee; and Yon Stunner, who on his season's form well merits a place in lhe team ; while the Gordon are rather unfairly treated in havingso small a representation. The North Shore and Ponsonby fifteen is without, several good men, such as Arneil, Webster, ami Hraumd, who are prevented by accident or illness from playing; yet, with such men as Mackv (the probable captain) Warbriek, Whiteside. Davy, Young, and Wells, the team is a strong one, and will, wo think, just manage to haul otr the event. We hope to see a large attendance for this, the concluding effort for supremacy among ourjlocal clubs. The following are the names of the teams :— Ponsonbv and Nor 111 Shore—Ponsonby; Macky, Whiteside, Geoive.Henderson, It.Skoe'n, Youn., and Davy; North Shore: Warbriek, Marshall, Sims, Jonos, Maynard. 0.
