LATE SHIPPING.

WRECK OF THE MARINER.

The schooner Mariner, which went ashore on the beach near Whangarei on Wednes day night, is reported to be in a very awkwaxd position.. Having been driven ashoro near high water she is far up on the beach, and could probably have 'been got off if the weather had been very tine. When she went ashore she bumped heavily, and since then the sea has been breaking over her. She has sprung a leak aft, but otherwise does not appear to be badly damaged, and the crew have sue? ceeded in getting an anchor out and towing the deck board ashore. The Mariner is a vessel of 63 tons register, built at Wangape, New Zealand, in 1867. She is owned by the Auckland Timber Company, and is loaded with timber shipped at Mongonui. She is insured for £250 in the South British office.

The three-masted schooner Yolande left Dunedin at 1.30 p.m. on the 21st inst.. and 'had fresh S.W. and light S.E. winds to East Cape on the 25th, thence till arrival light southerly winds. The Yolando came linto this port at 9.30 last night, and , berthed at the Queen-street Wharf this morning. .

IMPORTS.

Per Yolande; 3,996 sacks oats, 720 sacks floor, 120 sacks oatmeal, 832 sacks potatoes, 225 bags bones, 5 tons turnips.

AN ATHLETIC FIZZLE.

" Don't Co, if You Don't

Please"

(BY TELEGRAPH—OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

Dunedin, Friday. Great interest is evinced in the 24-hours' walking contest between Scott and Captain Cotton, which begins to-night. Both men are in excellent condition, and a big record is looked for.

Ciiristciiubcii, this day.

The 24-hours' walking match between Captain Cotton, of Ghiistchurch, and Joe Scott, which was to have started last night, collapsed. A large number of persons were present at the hour of starting, when Scott's trainer made tho an nouncement that Captain Cotton's trainer had informed him that if Cotton was not allowed to win, he would be ill when the time for starting arrived. The doctor's certificate was read to those pre sent. It stated that Cotton was suffer ing from severe indisposition, and that it would be injudicious for him to walk any distance. Scott walked for an hour, and those present left grumbling. The doc tor's certificate is genuine enough, but the offer of the trainer seems inexplicable.

AN EDUCATIONAL BREEZE.

In our report of the Board of Education meeting yesterday we^gave tho substance of a resolution from the City Schools Committee affirming the desirability of all communications between school teachers and the Board of Education being in writing, and that in the case of private inter viewsbetween teachers and the Board the re sult shall be communicatd to the Committee. Mr Goldie thought the Committee had good grounds for complaint. In many cases teachers had been sent for, and had to leave their schools in order to come to the office and interview the secretary. The head master of the Newton West school and the chairman of the Newton west School Com mittee had been sent for when there was no necessity for their attendance, and the secre tary, in bringing these gentlemen there, had done what he had no right to do. Mr Carr coincided.—Mr Rice explained the circum stances referred to by Mr Goldie.—Mr Up ton asserted that things had fallen into the same groove in which they had been when Mr O'Sullivan occupied a seat at the Board, except that now Mr Rice wa3 the de facto administrator of the Board to a very great extent—a far greater extent than he deemed right. No doubt it was necessary, in the case of the removal of a pupil teacher, that teacher should be ques tioned by an officer of the Board, in order that his or her circumstances should be ascertained, so that it would be known whether the teacher could be removed with out inconvenience. He maintained, how ever, that the headmaster of the school in which the pupil teacher was employed should be communicated with, thus doing away with any apparent officialism. The young teachers in the school had come to look to Mr Rice for promotion or deposition. —Mr Rice remarked that on no occasion,on a school day, or during school hours, had he asked that a junior teacher should attend at the office without consulting the head teacher. He had not, however, thought it necessary to take this course on Saturday, which was not a school day. Mr Cooper thought the City Schools Committee had a great deal to complain of. The schools were very often disorganised by the arbitrary removal of teachers. The Chairman moved, "That the letter bo acknowledged, and that the Board be in foimedthat the request of the Committee shall be carried out as far as practicable." Mr Goldie moved an amendment, " That it be an instruction to the Secretary that communications between the teachers and the Board be in writing, and that they shall not for the future be required to attend personally at this office, except upon the express ■ authority of the Board." Tho amendment was carried.

MUSICAL ENTERTAINMENT.

A most enjoyable social evening was spent at the Pitt-street Wesleyan Schoolroom last night in connection with the third anni versary of the Ladies' Sewing Society. There was a very good attendance, over 200 persons being present, The Rev. H. Bull presided, and in his introductory re marks referred to the fact that the Society had been started three years ago by Mrs Reed, and during that period the ladies had been enabled to complete the entire fur nishing of the minister's residence. The affair partook of the nature of a conver sazione, curios being lent by the following persons :—Dr. Purchas, Messrs T. Buddie, R. Arthur, P.. Hewin, J. Wiseman, W. and G. Winstone, G. Meachem, W. L. Prime, J. Gittos, W. Brakenrig, Johns, Rev. W. Gittos, Miss Bottrill, Mesdames Hall, G. H. Douglas, Constable, Skinner, Purdy, Streeter, and Ralph ; also a valuable collec tion of coins by the Bank of New Zealand. At intervals during the evening the follow ing interesting programme was gone thioughin a Scitisfaetory manner:—Piano forte solo, "Golden Bells," Mrs W. L. Prime ; song, "In the Cloisters," Mr E Edmonds; instrumental trio, " The Great Globe," Mi^es M. Nixon, Bull and E. Bull; part song, " The Hunting Day," students Wesley College (encored); in response they gave, " The loolish Little Maiden ;" violin duet, Misses Baker and Stevens ; reading, " The Northern Cobbler," Rev. C. H. Gar land ; pianoforte solo, "Grand Fantasia," Miss Reid; song, " Nevermore," Mr W. L. Prime; recitation, selection from "Lady of the Lake," Mr C. H. Laws; pianoforte solo, "Negro Melodies," Miss M. Nixon; song, " When SparroSvsßuild," Miss A. J.
