Thames, this day.—Messrs Blair aud R. Browning (solicitor) arrived yesterday en route for Hikutaia, in connection with the timber dispute. Important Decision re Timber on Native Lands. An important judgment in respect of timber cases was {riven in the Warden's Court to-day. Maurice Casey was charged with committing a breach of the mining regulations by cutting kauri timber without -a license on Ngaro maki block, Tararu. Defendant set up a right to all the kauri on the block, basing his title upon a sale by the native owners to Messrs Whitaker and Russell. The Warden held that, according to the Govern ment agreement with tho native owners, landfl leased to the Crown became waste lands, and once so leased the owners had no right to deal with the timber. The regula tions made it penal for any person to cut timber without a liconso from tho Warden, and he would therefore impose the nominal penalty, of one shilling. Heavy Rainfall and Floods.

Since midnight there has been an extra ordinary rainfall, which has caused the Karaka Creek to overflow its banks, and flooded a large extent of Shortland between Coohrane and Mary-streets.

The Auckland Art Students' Association.

(To tho Editor).

qra —This Society, which has just given its fnaugurallectureln the Choral Hafl, is the product of a widespread and universal dissatisfaction with the management of the older-established Socioty of Arts. This latter Society started under the happiest Sees, and would, under better manage ment, havoriien to power and influence m art matters. As it is, it has sunk into a mere society for the encouragement of Avenues and fancy work, and apparently ienores artists altogether, except so far as Knits them to exhibit their works and charges them 5 per cent, on the proceeds of the slles. If «• look over the list of their prizes, we do not see a single one for artists proper. They are all for pupils, students, Sura (by the way .is "amateur" a corruption of the word "immature?"), and fancy work, such ds needlework, panels, taWetops Plaques, flowerpots, &c. This eWblesa few quondam ditlettantiU, pose a^ Sir Oracles, and dispense their patronage Sd Prizes to their l.umble worshippers ContLt this with the Art Students' Assoctotioit Instead of one annual ex fiT (which is all the other Society n tt«mnt«) they purpose to keep art $ve?Cl tte^ Reelingof ~ derii among their members, by periodical features on cognate subjects, 'by art excur sions for sketching purposes at regular- in tervals and" by quarterly art reunions of membe're at whic\i the field sketches wi 1 be fflted as one of tiw items of interest Look over their list of pmes, m which all members are broadly divided into but two Ses, seniors and juniors dependent on age and the prizes are equally divided be, ?|e'en both.

BOARD OF EDUCATION.

The weekly meeting of the Board of Education was held this afternoon, there being present :—Messrs R. Hobbs (Chair man), S. Luke, D. Goldie, J. W. Carr, Theo. Cooper, F. J. Moss and D. H. Me- Kenzie. Financial Statement.—The Secretary read the usual statement, from which it ap peared that the Board had a bank balance of L 6.902. " Cambridge. —Mr Ralph D. Stewart wrote acknowledging receipt of Board's letter giving him three months' notice of the termination of his engagement at Cambridge, and stating that an endeavour be made to secure him a suitable school in the meantime. The writer also complained of the prevalence of a report that he had been dismissed from the seevice of the Board. It was therefore resolved to request the press to publish the Board's resolution on the matter passed last week, viz. : "Mr Stewart to be notified of the termination of his engagement as Head-master, three months from date, and to be informed that Board will endeavour to provide a suitable appointment for him in the meantime." Mr Talbot Again.—The following letter was received from the Secretary of the Grafton Road School Committee :— "The Secretary Board of Education : Sir, —I am instructed to forward to you a copy of a resolution of the Grafton Road District School Committee concerning Mr Talbot, assistant master. The resolution, which was carried unanimously, was as follows : 'That it is desirable for the harmony and successful working of the school that Mr Talbot be removed to some other sphere of labour, as already recommended by the late School Committee for the district.' lam also directed to forward to the Board an extract from the Headmaster's report, referring to the same subject. Extract: —' It has struck me most disagreeably during the whole period of my connection with the school that Mr Talbot's object was to do as little and not as much as he could for the benefit of the school.' The complaint is carried to some length, and the Committeo feel that it is very necessary that tho present state of aftiirs should not be allowed to continue, and hope that the Board will help us out of tho difficulty by giving effect to the recom mendation of the Committee according to the above resolution."

Art Prizes for Public Schools.—The following .letter was recoived from Mr Josiah Martin (Secretary of the Auckland Society of Arts) under dato the 3rd inst: — " With a view to support the efforts of the Board of Education, and to encourage draw ing among the pupils of the Auckland Pub lic Schools, the Society of Arts has offered the following special prizes : —For the best shaded drawing from the round oxocuted within n given timo and under super intendence, prizo of £5, the gift of Mrs Clayton. For outline drawings from the flat, executed within a given time and under special superintendence, first prize, value 30s ; second prize, value £1. For tho best drawing pro duced in the schools: A picture, to bo painted and presented by Mr F. G. Trevi thick. Candidates must have been in at tendance at one of the Auckland Public Schools for at least six months prior to tho date of the competition. The pupil will be entitled to receive more than one prize. As the last competition would require a selection to bo made from the drawings produced by pupils in the ordinary course of school instruction, I shall be muck obliged if you would kindly inform mo if the Board of Education would bo pleased to permit such a collection of school drawings to bo mado by the teachers and submitted to the Society for examination. Upon this letter the Inspector reported : " I think it desirable that every facility should bo afforded to the Society to enable them to carry out what they propose." It was agreed to offer the necessary facilities and to convey to the Society the Board's thanks. Mr Stuart (Secretary of the New Zealand Art Students' Association) also wrote sending a copy of their rules and constitution, stating that it was their object to encourage a taste for artistic study of a purely national type, especially among tho young, and asking for information as to the best means of promoting that object. —The Inspector reported as follows: —"I think the objects of the Association ought to be encouraged. If they will supply the Board with a number of prospectuses they might be sent to the principal schools and hung up in a prominent position. Teachors might be asked to call the attention of assistants and pupils to the prospectus." This recommendation was adopted, and tho thanks of the Board wero passed to the Association.

Ponsonby.—The Committee, feeling that the purchase of a playground had been neglected by the Board, and that they had not been treated fairly and openly, asked immediate attention to tho selection and purchase cf a suitable site. They also re quested information on the following points: (1) Are any negotiations now pending for the purchase of any land as a playground for the Ponsonby Public School ? (2) How much has accrued for interest on the £1,000 since received by your Board, and where and when deposited, at what rate of interest and on what account? Proposed Napier-street School.—The City School Committee wrote urging the pressing necessity of extra school accom modation, and pointing out that the present schools are full, _ and that many applications for admission have been refused (150 at Berosford - street school alone). They therefore suggested that tho Board should erect a wing of the proposed school in Napier-street, so as to temporarily meet existing exigencies, pro mising that they would in tho moantime inspect the buildings suggested. The Parkell Imbroolio.—No further communication having been received from the Parnell Committee with reference to tho appsintment of an assistant master, Mr U. H. McKenzie proposed the ap pointment of Mr Webber in terms of the Inspector's recommendation. —Mr Luke seconded the motion.—Mr Goldie spoko strongly in support of Mr Talbot's claims to the appointment, pointing out inter alia that he had been nominated by two successive Parnell Committees. He was pot inclined to place much relianco upon In spector's memoranda now, after perceiving how in Mr O'Donoghue's case, tho state ments in the memoranda were not borne out by the facts. What they wanted were some official data with respect to Mr Tal bot's scholastic career. Ho did not believe in encouraging teachers to bo mere syco phants by sitting upon those who showed a little independence of spirit. The last visit paid to the Grafton School by Mr O'Sullivan was a mere casual one, of which he kept no record; and yet imme diately afterwards the head teacher wrote the letter from which the Grafton made an extract in their letter; whfle two days after this Mr O'Sullivan was thus closeted with the headmaster, a lenirthv letter of instructions was sent to Mr g yTalbot. [Mr SuJJivan « "I claim the protectwn of the Boaid.] It was all an arranged^ affair for the purpose of damning Mr Talbots chances of crushing him. (Left Sitting.)

The privileges of the Henderson Mill Meeting were sold to-day by Messrs B. Tonks and Co. Mr Hawkins purchased the sole right to sell refreshments for £41. Air Bolter gave £53 for the gates, and the right to sell cards fetched £8 10s. James Dougherty, Henry Hack, Thomas Mahoney, and Michael Bourke were charged on summons, on the information of Inspector Goldie, with breaches of the city byJawß, for permitting their yards to remain in a filthy condition. Michael Bourke said the owner of the property resided at Coromandel. He was aware that the premises wore In a dirty state, but did not like to act without the authority of the owner. It was now being done, and the nuisance would be speedily removed. Mr Goldie said as such was the case, he woula not press for a heavy penalty. Bourke wab lined 10s. The charges against the tenants were withdrawn. . . Sir W J. Clarke, Bart., will be installed as District Grand Master of Freemasons for Victoria, English Constitution, onthe 2oth nf March In the evening he will giva a E nZtat the Town Hall to 1,000 Masons, STefolSng night Sir William will be riven a return bill at the same place. The reremonyofthe installation and the.ban aueTwUif constitute the. largest gathering of Smasons ever he)d south of tjio Line.

At the Gisborne Borough Council the w, • This brute gets under the comjflaint, but no formal action whs taken. Mr Tovce remarked, amid laughter, that SffiTbdnfe a ratepayer iH collar had a1 right to be there. Mr Tutehen^id thatf night be, the fleas were not ratepayers. _It vfs to their presence he objected. (Hear, fear.) ■
