CHRISTCHURCH AND THE RAILWAY TARIFF.

[BY TELEQRAPU—PRESS ASSOCIATION.]

Chrtstchcrch, this day. At a meeting- of the Industrial Associa t'.on, a resolution was unanimouply passed condemnatory of the new railway tariff. A meeting of the Canterbury members, Government supportors, convened by Mr E. G. Wright, was field yesterday. Messrs E. G. Wright, A. P. O'Callaghan, H. All wright, J. E. Brown, H. Thomson, H. McMillan, H. Wynn Williams, Postlethwaite, and F. W. Pearson were present. It was resolved: "That the above members, viewing the great injustice of the increased railway tariff, and the ill-judged time in which it has been brought into operation, strongly protest against the action of tho Govern ment, as injurious and oppressive to the constituents, and respectfully but firmly beg that the Government defer giving effect to so important an alteration in the tariff till the sanction of Parliament is ob tained."

GOVERNMENT DECLINE TO WITH DRAW THE TARIFF.

Ciiristchubcii, this afternoon.

A meeting of Members of the House of Representatives and others re the railway tariff was Jhold this morning, when a tele gram from tne Premier was road declining to postpone the carrying of the new tariff into force. Fourteen M.H.R.'s wore pre sent, and all agreed to telegraph to Govern ment the following :— " This meeting protests against the new tariff, especially as.regards the largely in creased rates upon grain, because it lays a special burden upon the farmers, and is therefore a class tax, while it is also in effect a tax levied only on the southern half of the'colony, and chiefly upon Canterbury and Otago." The following resolutions were alse agreed to with only one dissentient (Mr J. E. Brown): —"That, in the opinion of this meeting, any increase in railway rates which may be found necessary or ex pedient should be so adjusted that the rail ways in the Middle Island which are earn ing higher rates of interest should not be called upon to make up for the lower rates earned by lines in the North Island;" "That in the opinion of this mee f ing, no such large increase as has just been brought into operation, and which is really of the nature of a tax, should be given effect to without having been first referred to and approved by Par liament." Mr Holmes pointed out that the Treasury admitted that the higher rates were to meet tho deficiency in Customs, and they therefore were certainly a tax.

AUCKLAND GARDENERS HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY.

Autumn Show.

I The Autumn Show of the above Society was opened this afternoon in the Drill-shed, and despite the bad weather seems likely to obtain a large share of public patronage. It may at once be said that the number and quality of the exhibits are fully up to the average, and that they have been Very neatly classified, while the display of apiarian appliances and products forms a novel and highly welcome feature for the notice of visitors. The bulk of the articles on view are laid out on five parallel benches running almost the full length of the Shed. The centre one opposite the main entrance has been appropriated for foliage and other pot plants, cut flowers, bouquets, and model gardens; and it is flanked on either side by benches laden with rich, rosy, and delectable fruit. As for the two re maining longitudinal benches which run alongside the opposite walls, that on the western side is devoted to vegetables, and its eastern fellow to seeds, vegetables, fruit, tobacco, and glassware. The apiarian exhibits occupy a separate bench extending across the remoter end of the shed. The only attempts at ornamentation consist in the adjustment of boughs of foliage here and there about the walls. In accordance withupago, the exhibits, for the purposes of fair competition have been sub-divided into the three classes of " All Comers,' '■ Amateurs," and "Cottagers ;" but better means should bo devised of displaying the limits of the various groups. It is, however, in tho method of ticketing that the Committee are particularly at fault. Instead of a scribe accompanying each party of judges and taking down the awards as they are made, a very slow and circumlocutory system is pursued, and ns a consequence, the early visitors are unable to ascertain tho prize-takers. For a similar reason we are precluded from publishing the prize list. In the department of foliage and pot plants, Mr James Mason was formerly facile princeps, but on this occasion he is jxceedingly hard pressed, if not fairly jelipsed by Mr F. Bennett (gardenor to Mr i 3. Morrin), and Mr Carrothers (gardener to Mr R. W. Moody). Tho display is very :reditable, but not sufficiently varied, 10 entries being made in a great nany classes. Considering how un avourablo the season lias been for floral iroductions, tho show of flowers must be jronounced vory fair. Tho dahlias appear 0 especial advantage, and there aro some lice gladioli, whilo tho bouquets are irettily made up, and exhalo a highly greeablo odour. For fruit, also, the eason has operated prejudicially, but still ur orchards well sustain their growing re mte. So far as number is concerned, the pples throw everything else completely :ito the shade, and their quality will tand comparison. It would bo difficult to ly how many varieties are represented, 'erhaps it would bo easier to figure out ow many are not. Let it suffice on this ccasion, however, to remark that all sorts of pples are there, both culinary and dessert, ig and little, sour and sweet, pippins and assets, light and dark red, round, squat, regular, pyramidal, flat, rough, andsmoothj ho quality, of course, varies greatly, nt speaking generally it is very good, : is in the particular point of quality that le hot-house grapes claim the premier msideration and command the highest raise. There is an abundance of large and 'mmetrical bunches of both dark and light rapes with berries on them in many cases 1 large as small plums, luscious to a degree lat Is almost irresistible, and by the judges 3clarod to be very grateful to the palate, mongst the light variotios Pearson's olden Queen, tho Golden Champion on Isabella Stock, the Duke of Buccleuch, tho egg-shaped Waltham Cross and the Waltham Seedling claim oi j tention while of tho grapes, the Madresfielu Court, Gros Colman, and Gros Guillnumc cannot be passed over in silence, There is a miserable show of Cape gooseberries (a fruit once common enough nere, but now rather raro), and a display of magnificent j quinces that would do honour to any show , in the world. There are also some fine j pears »nd tomatoes, the golden pear bping | especially good,andafew—averyfewpeachea Hob^s's Late is rather too much speckled but the Comet or Splway variety look nice The plums and apricots are very gpod, par ticularly Pond's Seedling, amopg th« former fruit. It must be admitted that th< vegetables appear to better advantage than one would imagine, bearing in mind tin lateness of the season and the extremelj unpropitious weather. There is a capita show of potatoes and carrots, sonu plethoric onions and beet, very largf broad beans and peas, and a commendable representation of the punrokin and melor family. The nascent tobacco industry makes a good display. We understand that the samples are pronounced to be first class, the Auckland soil having a feendencj to preduce a leaf yery like the heat Havana, The sample grown by Mr Jame; Mason for the New Zealand Tobacco Com pany is said to be particularly good. As we have already mentioned, the display of honey and apiarian appliances is one oi the features of the Shojy. It is interesting as indicating how much capital and skill are embarked in the industry", and gratifying as proving what success J).as been attained. Mr Shadwell obtains the prize for the best sanrole of beeswax, and Mr Hopkins prizes for Jhe best samples of cemb Foundations for sections and brood frames respectively, while Messrs Bag nail Bros, carry off tho honours for the most " neatly got-up" tins of extracted honey, and the best collection of apiarian appliances. There are also highly credit able samples ,of tinned honey, ready for the market, from the Auckland district, the Thames, Katikati, Mat^mata, and Poverty Bay, so that there is no lacjf of competition in this class. We must not omit to mention that Mr Arthur Yates shows o fine collection of seeds and of vegetables grown from oth,er seeds supplied by him; that M. Cook and Son exhibit various kinds of glassware for practical use, and that there is a good show of Goodwin's baking powder, neatly tinned. The Show will b* open this even. ing and also to-morrow. It Is well worthy a visit, and the promoters Reserve every encouragement.
