LESSONS OF THE ELECTION.

Want of Electoral Reform.

Napier, this day.

Last night's " Telegraph," writing onthe amendment of the electoral law, says :—" It is hard to believe thab such sparsely populated districts as Woodville and Greyraouth could record such polls unless there was 'something rotten in the state of Denmark.' Our electoral law is founded on thab of Victoria, bub the difference is that there they have retained certain safeguards which we have over looked. There, voters exercise the pnvi ledge on account of a property qualification or a residence qualification, and the two rolls are distinct, but you can only be on one roll. The property-qualified voter has no trouble. His name is placed on the electoral roll from the ratepayers' roll of any borough or shire, and the Registrar omitting a man's name is liable to an action. Anyone who has resided twelve months in the colony and six months in a district, can on payment of a shilling, receive an elector's right, which holds good for three years. He signs his name to a declaration that he is twenty years of age, has resided in one district in the colony, and in the district the necessary time, and it is countersigned by the Registrar. His name is then placed on the roll, which is made up every three years just before the general election. If he registers after that time he is placed on a supplementary roll, which is renewed every year. If he has not been put on the main roll he must renew his supplementary right till a general roll is made up, but this costs him nothing. He gives up hi 3 old right, which is can celled and retained by the Registrar. On the polling day he hands his right to the Returning Officer, writes his name, and if the presiding officer is satisfied as to the signatures being alike he receives a ballot paper. The Returning Officer initials the tight and dates it, so that it cannot be again used, that day. If a man cannot si?n his name he makes in his mark. In the case of a city electorate, there are certain di visions, and separate rolls are used for each division, but property holders can only vote in one division. Then a division may have three polling booths—A to F may vote in one, G to R in another, and S to Z in the tnird. Now, in a scattered district like South Gippsland, or Wimmera there will be forty to sixty rolls, one for each of the different parishes, and there a man must vote in the parish for which he is enrolled, and in no other. We say if New Zealand adopted some such system it would minimise the chance of polling dead men ; it would pre vent unqualified men from voting; it would stop voters exercising their privileges with three polling places in the electorate, and it would do much to put an end to fictitious voting. We hope to see such an amendment made in our electoral laws as will prevent the unfair voting we know took place in many parts of Hawke's Bay last Monday."

The Napier Press on the Premier's Defeat.

Referring to the Premier's defeat at Dunedin East, the " Telegraph" says it does not share in the regrets so generally expressed at his "forced retire ment from public life." His resignation before Parliament meets save 3 a lot of time and gets rid of two dangerous men in the persons of the Colonial Trea surer and Minister of Native Lands. Had the Premier been re-eleeted,his Govern ment would have met Parliament, in which case it is impossible to say what means would have been employed to convert the Ministerial minority into a working majority."

THE INTERNATIONAL YACHT RACE.

Description of the Competing Yachts.

The following description of the competing yachts in the great yacht race reported by cable yesterday will be read with interest. The American yacht Volunteer was vie. torious, but it appears that there is reason to suspect that the Thistle had not received fair play:—

The Thistle was builfc for a powerful syndicate of Clyde yachtsmen, and was de signed by Mr G. L. Watson, and she was built by Messrs D. and W. Henderson and Co. on the Clyde. Her dimensions are : — Length overall, 98ft; length on low water line, 85ft; beam, 20fb 3in; depth of hold, 14ft lin ; tonnage, 100 tons. The material of v/hich the hull is constructed is Siemens- Martin mild steel; the lead keel ballast being run into the circular keelplate, in stead of being bolted solid on the outside as is usually done. Her spars are made of finest Oregon pine sticks. She has a clip per stem, tipped with a huge thistle as a figure-head. She has exceptionally large sail-carrying powers. The sternposb shows considerable rake, and with some camber in the keel still admits of easy quarters and a clean run. The enormous spars of the vessel and her great area of canvas have called for very powerful lines in the hull,andanexceptional strength in internal fastenings. The hull, up to the covering board, is plated with Siemens- Martin steel of the best quality, the lower plates being three-quarters of an inch thick, and the upper five'sixteenths, while the in ternal fastenings are of unusual strength. The Thistle was very successful in England, beating everything opposed to her.

The Volunteer was launched at New York on the 30th June. She is unlike any yatch heretofore met with in American waters, and is a rakish, piratical-looking craft, and looks in the water like a floating swordfish. She is full in the body but fine at the ends and keen at the prow as a razor. She is 107f b overall, bub only 86 on the water line. Her most striking features seen on a broadside view are great depth aft, long, keen, sharply diminishing forefoot, cutter like rake of sternposfc, long angular over hang, and sharp sheer fore and aft. While the new boat is 7ft longer than the May flower over all, she is only lft longer on the water line, has 3in less beam, 6in more draught, and carries 20 tons of ballast. Strictly speaking, Bhe carries no outside ballast, as none is below the keel, but her keel consists of steel plates, three-quarters of an inch thick, curved upward into a trough-like shape, and into that 50 tons of melted lead have been poured. Besides that she will carry 20 tons of pig lead as movable ballast to regulate her trim. Her dimensions are as follows : — Length overall, 107 f t; on the water line, 86ft; extreme beam,23Jft; extreme draught, 10ft; outside ballast, 50 tons ; inside bal last, 20 tons.

Rev. M. Baxter of the Church of Eng land, lately delivered three prophetic lectures at Liverpool. There is nothing vague about this prophet. England is to be separated legislatively from Ireland, India and her colonies. Lucien Bonaparte is to become King of Syria, and later an Emperor of France. Belgium and the Rhine provinces are to be annexed to France, and in 1896, 144,000 watchful Christians are to ascend from earth to heaven, and the millenium is to commence on April 11th, 1901. The lecturer chal lenged any minister or individual to show that he had made any mistake. No one as yefc has taken up the challenge, possibly because every one is convinced that no mis take has been made, and possibly for other reasons.

THE WAIKATO HORSE PARADE.

The annual parade of stallions was held in Messrs Alfred Buckltmd and Co.'s paddock, Ohaupo, on Tuesday. There was a very good attendance, and great interest taken in the Show. The thoroughbreds were repre sented by Billingsgate, Ingomar, Partheno toceus, Cap-a-pie, Young Merryman, and Muskapeer ; the Clydesdales and Road stera by Stonewall Jackson, Elgin, Rantin Robin, Chieftain, Lowden Tarn, and Bonnie Prince. There was an excellent show in the thoroughbred class, and the hpnours seemed divided between Ingomar and Bil lingsgate. To my mind the palm is due to Ingomar, whilst the second should fall to Billingsgate. The competition as to the supremacy for roadsters appeared to lie between Stonewall Jackson and Merryman, and forpreference the general opinion was in favour of Stonewall Jackson. It is a great pity that there are no mares in Wai kato to suit this class of horse. Some coach horse should be imported to cross with the heavy draughts, which would be the means of improving the breed for the Indian market. Of Clydesdales, Elgin had the most favourites, Bonnie Prince next, and Rantin Robin third. Mr Living stone's Maskapeer, by Musket, out of Venus—Transit, although only a novice, came in for a deal of support, a gentle man from the neighbouring colonies re marking that he thought it was the most compact horse on the ground.

City Guards.

The members of the O. Battery having challenged the members of the above com pany to a friendly shooting match, it was accepted, and will be fired on Saturday next, October Ist. The ranges are 200, 300, and 500 yards, 5 shots at each range. The following will represent the Guards: — Lieutenants Dormer and Sherriilt, Colour' Sergeant Stirling, Sergeants Boyd, Scott, Orr, Soall, Corporals C. J. Craig and Private Nash. Emergency — Corporal Tierney, Privates W. Craig and Grattan.

Mount Eden Congregetional School.

On Wednesday the scholars' team connection with the anniversary services of the Mount Eden Congregational Sunday-school took place. It was a great success, there being a large attendance. About 300 sat down to tea, the table being presided over by the teachers. Afterwards an entertainment was given, at which the Rev. JB. L. Thomas—the new pastor of the church—presided. The following in teresting programme was gone through : — Hymn 9, " Song of Welcome ;" piano duet, Misses Alley and Bennett ; song, Miss Nelly Smith ; recitation, Master Harry Potter; recitation, Miss Edith Con quer ; piano solo, Miss L. Harvey ; recitation, Miss M. Peace ;• piano solo,. Miss Audrey (player,) trio, Misses L., W., and A. Ball; piano solo, Miss Bennett; piano duet, Misses Patterson and Close; piano solo, Miss A. Wallis; dialogue, Masters H. and C. Potter, A. Frith, J. Heaton, C. Harvey, and W. Harper; piano solo, Miss Pilcher; Hymn IV. 6. Views of the Hot Lake District were ex hibited by the Rev. J. S. Hill with lime light effects, also scenes around Auckland and the verse 3 from " Jessica's First Prayer." At the close a vote of thanks was accorded to all who had assisted.

ICHfi WATCH OF THE AGE. WONDERFUL WATERBURY. The prize of £1 recently offered by the Waterbury Watch Company, in South Australia, for the best pun on the watch of the age, has been awarded to "Giles Scroggins " for the following lines :— While Chaffey Brothers water raise, To make poor men's hearts merry; Another firm gains equal praise Which does its Water-bury. When Chaffey's fame is dead and gone ■ (Some deem their scheme's romantic) A faithful watch will still tick on, From o'er the broad Atlantic. • What! Gone ? Yes, sir, train left ten minutes ago. Why dont you buy a " Waterbury ?" A man who stole a Waterbury Watch from a poor labourer the other day was fined and locked up by the Magistrates, horsewhipped by the watchmaker when he came out, and afterwards nearly hurried into a brain fever by his wife. The clergy man of the parish alluded to the little affair in a sermon, and the local editor, for a wonder, agreed with the parson and re viewed the occurrence in print. All this time ife was borne in upon the wretched man that he could have bought the watch from any storekeeper for 13s 6d, and have, had it repaired any time at a cost of 2s 6d.
