Ada Mary Dickson, of Wellesley-stroet School, 15 years 10 months, with 83- marks to her credit, was also recommended for a certificate, as she had presented a modical certificate stating that her eyesight was detective, and if her marks in sewing had equalled the average of her marks in other [objects she would havo attained tho sth or 6th place instead ol the llth.

The astericks signify that the candidates failed in sewing. Mr McArthur reported of the arithmetic. English composition, and political economy that the work done was a credit to tho teaching ttaff of Auckland province. In arithmetic the papers had been very well, done. A large number of the candidates exhibited not only arithmetical correctness, bnt also logical form, shewing clearly their intelloctoal grasp of their subject. Tho most frequent failures were in the question with which the paper began. In none of tho other colonies had he found as the natural outcome of primary education Buch credit able English composition. Many of tho ihoit essays were grammatically excellent, put teachers should instruct their scholars iv the method of arranging tho eubjoct sleeted. The question or. the dis tinction between the meanings of words *« very poorly done. The candidates Slowed an understanding of tho elementary principles of political economy, but many «ed words which cvi iently had no corres ponding ideaß in their minds. The Sewing Examiner reported that the greatest success was in tho cutting out of a (tarment, which was good. Many oandi lutes confused stitching with hemming, MO fully one-third had no idea how a nutton-hole should be made, while tho .mfting as a whole was poorly done. Mr Wm. Wood reported upon English grammar, geography, and agricultural jwnm-try. The questions on accidence had peen generally well answered, but mistakes n the possessive case of nouns and Pronouns and in tho past tense- oF strong verbs had been far too common. The Pwsing, on the whole, was excellent, but the analysis, in many cases, was so poor as to _?

MUNCIPAL ELECTIONS.

Newmarket.

Vi-.sTKni._y the elections to lili tho vacancies in Newmarket Borough Council caused by the retirement of Mossrs Jenkins, Keeaing and Burgess took place in the Public Hall Mr W. C. Turnbull olliciatod as returning officer, and gave evory satisfac tion The following gontlumen wero candidates for the honour of beinr- a Novmarket Borough Councillors:—Messrs F. (1. Clayton, J. Jenkins, J. Lumpkin, R Loosing, E Burgess, and G. T hcetley. Mr T. Gollibrand was nomin ated, but retired before tho poll was taken. Contrniy to expectations, very little interest wa« taken in the proceedings by the rival factions. The result of the poll was aa fol lows :-F. (!. Clayton, ._' ; J. Jenkins, 07 ; .1. Lumpkin, 50; E. Burgess, -IS; G T Koetley, 44 ;R. Keosing, 27. There were two informal votes. Mossrs Clayton, Jon. kins, and Lumpkin were therefore doclared duly elected. Mr Clayton, in retnrnin. thanks, referred to local matters Ho had been Gild that thero was already an over draft of £200 at the bank, to which ho was totally opposed. He believed in seeing tho way clear boforo going in for overdrafts. Let them lovy rates if they wantoel monov, and ho tor ono would gladly pay his sharo. llu was in favour of improving the foot paths, and ho trusted that bis conduct throughout would be fail* and abovo board. Messrs Jenkins and Lumpkin also returned thanks. The proceedings closed with a voto ot thanks to tho ..oturning Oilicer.

Hokltlka. Considerable intorost was taken in the election hore.owing to abulv being amongst tbo candidates. On tho poll being declared it was fcund the lady, Mrs Hall, stood tilth, getting SO votes out of 841. There wore eight candidates, and there being only three vacancies, Mrs Hall was not returned.

Thames. Tho municipal elections havo resulted as follows:—North Ward: Bnwden, (ill: Stcndmnn, 59 ; Pmith, 12. Middle Ward : Radford, 149 ; Kilgour, 39. For tho South Ward, Air Dan by was returned unopposed.

CHORAL HALL.-Mr Ames's Pianoforte Recital

In tho Choral Hall last night, Mr Berber Ames (pupil of Ferdinand Stado) gave a pianoforto recital, the programmo of which was supplemented with othor musical selec tions by local amateurs. Tho'attendance wns rather indifferent, but tho audio.ice r.iade up for its paucity of r.umbors by tho warmth of its appreciation, applause being frequent, and floral tributes numerous. Mr Ames contributed livo pianoforte solos, bo sides taking a prominent part ii several concerted selections, and playing a number of accompaniments. Unfortunately, none of tho solos was of a character calculated to apply the crucial test to his ability as a pianist, for they worn all short morceaiu, anel in no instance was there any occasion lor the display of brilliancy of execu tion or exceptional knowledge of tech nif/ue. His Jurfe seems to lie in tbo interpretation of soft and dreamy music such as that usually cast in tho nocturne form, and herein his playing was marked by a dolic'ite and artistic troatmont of the soft nitdiicrs with which this style of com position abounds. Hence his most success ful number last night was undoubtedly a nocturne in D Hat by Chopin. Ho rend ercd it co.i amorc, and its tranquil How and pensive sweetness so pleased tho audience that tho performer was promptly recalled, whereupon ho bowed his acknowledgments. A polonaise in A flat, by Chopin, was also a very attractive st.ee tion, artistically played. Less satisfactory was the pianist's rendering ot the Andante in F from ono of Beethoven's sonato.. Fol lowing it came an impromptu in F by Ruben stein, a pretty littlo trille that proved highly acceptable. Die pianist's concluding solo was Liszt's Kacoczy March. Of tin* other instrumental items, the first and last movements of Beethoven's fourth quartette, and Mr ,1 ickson's clarionotto solo were un questionably the best. Tho exoer'it? from tpiartotto were agreeably executed by tho MessrsE. V. Miller(violin), .1. C. Cloug'h (viola). ..I. A. Boalo (cello), and H. Ames (pianoforte), tho instruments harmonising woll, anel both tune anel time being accurately observed. An air « la bourrct: by Handel, arranged as a trio for violin, 'cello, and pianoforte, was executed with taste and skill, tho well-marked rhythm of the stately old el.inca movement producing its duo im pression upon the aiidienco. A trio in A Major for violin, 'cello, and pianoforte (tho composition of Mr E. V. Miller, a young musician resident at the Sugar Works), was also successfully rendered by Messrs Miller, Beale, and Ames. The piece is unambitious in chnracter, and is put together with fair musicianly skill, tho melody beinp; rather rjiinint and taking withal, Mr Miller (if. composer) also played Corelli. gavotte No. ,'i vory satis factorily. Sydney .Smith's arrangement of nirs from "Faust " wa« performed as a piano forte duet by Messrs Ames and Isaacs, and Miss Hawkins, a promising debutant-, gavo tho samo composer's pianoforte solo entitled " Ripples on tho Lake." Mr Jackson played with his accustomed oaso and procision of tone upon tho clarionotto, his contribution being "Tho Nocturnal Lament," a beautifully melodious plaint, by S. Bassi, pregnant with suave expres sion. The sin.ers wero suffering more or less undot tho disability of cold, .and their efforts wore thorefore unequal. Mrs Bovitt was the greatest sufferer, and a.*, a conse quenc-o, she failed to do herself justice. Her selections were '.' Lot Me Dream Again," and "Good-night, Beloved." Mr Knox gavo "The Sontinel" and "A Freshening Breeze," the latter number being rendered with line spirit, and full vigour of tone. Mr Walpolo rendered Salaman's sentimental and tunoful song " I Arise from Dreams of Thee," as well as the playful littlo song " A Summer Shower," but the lir.t pieco was entirely unsuited to his voice In tho second ho mado a de cided "hit." Miss .label Fairburn played tho accompaniments vory satisfactorily. It only remains to add that tho piano used on tho occasion was one of exceptional volume and singular purity ot tciic, which was obtained from Howdcn's establishment in Queen-stroet.

TOUCHING THAT TWO HUN- DRED POUNDS.

Threatened Proseoutlon.

At the meeting of the Board of Education this afternoon, a letter was received from Mr.). M. Speed, stating that ho had been instructed by Mr P. T. Paton, 11 houso holder in this educational district, to inform tho Board -iat uuless tho resolution authorising tho payment of £*200j to the Assignee from its fund wero rescinded within seven days from date (sth inst.) be would be compelled toapply tot. o Supreme Court for an injunction preventing any application of tho funds for such a pur pose. Mr J, W. Carr proposed that tho lettor should bo referred to a committeo of the whole Board for report. Mr Theo. Cooper said thai, ho still con sidered that the money ought not to bo paid from the Board's funds, but by the mombers individually. Ho therefore moved that the resolution authorising tho payment of tho money from the Board's funds should be rescinded. The Chairman (i\lr Luke) wai opposed tn this proposition a*, altogether wrong. -B well mifht a bank manager bo asked to make good bank losses. Even if the reso lution wero rescinded, ho would refuse to pay his share. Mr Coo*ier denied the fairness of Mr Luke't anology. Thoy v, err. trustees of the publio money, and wero therefore liable for any maladministration, In this case the money had been wrongly appropriated. However, as the Secretary told him, tin money had alreudv been paid from the Board's funds, there was no use pushing Ins proposition. . Mr Goldie accused tho officials of keep ing back the Assignee's claim aud Mr Pea cock's claim until the payment had been authorised. He supported the proposed inquiry. Mr Upton belioved tho money had been paid away in a reprehensible manner, and the blame should be laid on the right shoulders. , i Mr Carr's motion was then put and carried.

TELEGRAMS

During the lirst S months of ISS."), with a roll numbor of ISO, thu expenditure hid exceeded the income by CriHH, whilo an estimate of way- and means for Iho remaining four months of this year showed a probable fuither loss of t';ioo. The estimate was as follows: - Income : Fees, jtoOO; grant; in aid, C 333 : total, £833.

As tho Government had declined to advocate an increase in tlio Parliamentary grant, the staff had been reduced by ono junior teacher, and tho Hoad master reported that io further reduction could be made without injury to tlie school, suggest ing, however, that the expenditure might bo reduced (I) by replacement of 2 assist ant masters by '2 lady assistants (saving iJIoO a year); ('_) by substitution of a. resi dent manied couplo as caretakers for present matron and servant (saving £50 a year); (:i) by limiting the supply of pen stationery to pupils (saving .170 a year).
