THE ELECTION CAMPAIGN.

i Mr C S. Wright at tlie

Ponsonby Kali.

WdR S.- Weight, one of the candidates for Pobk:^') addressed the electors last even ing „ the Ponsonby Hall. There was a We attendance, and Mr H. W. Farnall coenned the chair, briefly introducing the sneaker #r Wri Sub was .received with aS-e. Re said the great problem to be solved was whether the present depression is to be removed by retrenchment, free trade, protection, or the proper settle mi of people on the land. As leeaids retrenchment, he said they iwmld hafe to make up their minds to Curtail their expenditure so as to live within fteirioeaiis, and pointed out that the Go wnment House should be done away with td # ground cut up and houses built thereon. -Bydoing so, a revenue of £1,000 per year could be realised. He thought at least'a reduction of £300,000 could fe;el«te4in the expenditure of the colony. The people who advocated free trade were ih»ffho were receiving a regular salary. Bjtwas wanted was a protective policy, so 'ttftkiOW local ■ industries shquld be encouraged. He said :" It is no use clamouring for protection if you set your. i.!»against using the locally-manufactured ■ysMi. 'Xocal industries can only be en wiiraged by buying them, : eyen though tley'coata. little more than, the imported articles." He illustrated Avhat could be done for .protection if the working-men void only co-operate. The speaker here . referred'to the article on protection re- Uiriaiedfrom Blacky/pod's " Magazine " by, tlie JIVESiNG Stab last Friday, and - said ti«t Hose who read that article would feel aayinced that protection was the best tbing for ftp colony. The property tax TFoaltl aJ«o have to be abolishe.d if protec tion was to .supceed, and a land and income to eubstituted. Re was in favour of the presenlj system of education, and would ooalin his. pow?-r to have night-schools opened for the purpose of teaching youths technical education. The candidate urged theaudiencenotto take spy notice of the reports circulated by his opponents, as they *ere without foundation. Mr Wright re Mined his seat amidst loud cheers. In an wer to questions he said: (1) He was in %our. of the western loop line if prac ticable from an engineering point of view. *) He thqught that. seven o'clock was ate enough for the. hour of polling, w He; wpuld support the extension 0 the railways in the North, (4) He was fevour of Mt Vaile's railway scheme.. *>* S.Jeune moved, and Mr Maxwell Wed:.

PEDESTRIAN CONTEST.

(BY TELEGRAPH—PRESS ASSOCIATION.)

Dunedin, Wednesday. The 24 hours' walking match between Cap tain Cotton, of Christchurch, and Joe Scott,

came to a conclusion at twenty minutes past nine this evening. Scott at two o'clock was within two miles of Cotton, and con tented himself for some hours with walking at Cotton's heels. When they retired for tea there was about a mile and three quarters between them. When they returned Scott settled down to reduce the distance, and at ten minutes past nine he had caught the original start of ten miles given to Cotton, and passed him amid ap plause. Cotton continued walking for another ten minutes, when his record was 109 miles 7 laps, Scott's being at that time 4 laps ahead. Cotton then left the track, and mounting the platform, said he would continue if the spectators wished, but he was beaten. He had walked through the match, though utterly unfit, because he had determined not to leave Dunedin with out giving satisfaction. Anything crooked about the match had not-been byliim. He thanked them for the cordial sympathy shown him during the walk, and said that 'if he had been in Christchurch he could not have been treated more kindly.

EVICTION OF MAORIS.

(BY TELEGRAPH —PRESS ASSOCIATION.)

Wellington, Wednesday. An exciting incident occurred at Awahuri yesterday, consequent on .a recent case brought into the Supreme Court by Mr Macdonald to obtain the ejectment of some Maoris from his property on which they had squatted. He obtained the necessary writs, and yesterday Sheriff Woon and Mr Hawkins, solicitor for Mr Macdonald, ac companied by a posse of twelve men, pro ceeded to the spot to turn tho Maoris out. The visit was quite unexpected, as the Maoris were ploughing at the time ; but they refused to leave the ground when asked by Mr Woon, and chained up a gate. The party effected an entrance at another place. The ejectment was carried out with out violence, although some difficulty was experienced with the women. The Maoris subsequently congregated in largo numbers. A telegram was received advisingthe Maoris not t/Tgive up possession at any cost, but it was too late.

MORE JUBILEE SENTIMENTS.

Intellgent Testa

The Principal of the College of Science and Arts, Glasgow, Prof. Jamison, A.M., Inst. C.E , F.R.S.E., writes :—" Five weeks asro I got from you a Waterbury Watch, and having been previously annoyed by my lever watch stopping and keeping bad time whenever I went near dynamo machines, I inserted the Waterbury Watch between the magnetic poles of a ten horse power dynamo. Of course the watch in stantly stopped, but on being started again I regulated it only twice within two days, and have found that for one whole month it did not vary two minutes from correct Greenwich time. I now prefer it to my former and-much more expensive watch, and consider it an excellent timekeeper."

" • Eton House,' Riley-street.

g The Waterbury Watch Co.

"Gentlepien, — I have great pleasure in bearing-testimony to the exceptionally good qualities of the Waterbury Watch. For the last few weeks I have carried one of these Watches, and am now thoroughly convinced of its value as a reliable time keeper. It is not a mere toy, as the price would seem to indicate, but a strong, dur able article. As a proof of this I may state that a day or two ago I was out riding, when my horso took fright and threw me heavily against the saddle, which came in contact with the ' Waterbury' in my pocket. The violence of the concussion would have broken an ordinary gold or silver watch, and of course I expected to find it smashed, but was surprised to find it had not sustained any derangement whatever. I can with confidence recommend it to all re quiring a strong, accurate watch for a little money. "Youra faithfully, " WALTER DENGATE."

" I have carried a ' Waterbury ' for the last three weeks, and have compared it with other timepieces with the most satisfactory results. It has kept excellent time. In fact, had I given four or five pounds for an ordinary silver watch, it could not have been more accurate. In appearance it is all that can be desired, and any one ignorant of its Oost might mistake it for an article costing 10 times as much. J. would advise all those in search of a cheap, strong time keeper to purchase a Waterbury Watch.

•* Yours faithfully, : «J. STRINGFELLOW, ; , . „ "Granville."

" Vassar College, N.Y. " Waterbury Watoh Co.

"Gentlemen,—Allow me to take this opportunity of expressing'my admiration for the excellence of this simple and inex pensive watch. It keeps hetter time than a silver watch in our house, which cost seven times as much. Each of my boys cariy one of these watches witli great satisfaction. — Yours very truly,

«' WM. B. DWIGHT, *' Professor of. Natural History, '' ".Vassar College."
