THE IMPERIAL CONFERENCE.

[better's telegram.]

London", April 14. At the Imperial Conference, Mr Downer proposed that children born in Ihe colonies of marriages with deceased wives'sisters should be legitimatised in England. Sir H. Holland thought it was unlikely this would be conceded until such marriages were legalised in England. It would be equivalent to altering the English law of inherit ance. The question of posts and telegraphs will be discussed on Tuesday, and the Hew Hebrides on Friday. At the Conference practically no thing is being done. The Government do nothing but formulate schemes, the only purpose seemingly being to seek the opinion oi the delegates. Possibly an agreement may be arrived at where by the British Government will under take to invest trust funds in colonial securities. There is a strong feeling that the opinions of the delegates on the deceased wife's sister question will great!/influence Parliament in dealing with that measure when again brought forward.

THE IMPERIAL CONFERENCE.

COLONIAL IXS€ltlttiltt STOCK.

London, April 14. The Imperial Conference rasumed to to-day. Sir Henry Holland intimated that the Lord Chancellor held that there was a difficulty in the way of authorising trustees to "invest in Colonial inscribed stock. The Imperial Government had no power to limit borrowing of the Colo nies or to use the Colonies in default of dividends.

The Delegates were unanimous that the colonies would not consent to allow their borrowing powers be con trolled, but they might possibly concede the right to sue for the divi dends.

Sir F. D. Bell asked for the aholi tion of Stamp Duty on Inscribed Stock, but an answer was given to the effect that it was unlikely to be granted at present, but it is probable that a con cession in the direction named might be made after ten years. Meanwhile the duty would be placed into a sus pense account, the colonies receiving iuterest.

The Imperial Institute.

The report that the Government will ask for a large vote for the Imperial Institute is not believed.

Winner adjudged to be W Rf.c, he consequently receiving the splendid 10-guinea cup presented by W. J. Camp bell, the well-known host of the bright little Elleralie Hotel.

220 Yards Hurdle Race Handicap. - 1, W. Fergusson ; '2, S. Fergusson ;3, W. Rae.

O.ve Mile Handicap. -1, S. Fergusson; 2, R. Rae ; 3, R. Otto. Two-mile Walking Handicap. — This waa the most exciting event of the day. An unknown amateur of Auckland nob being allowed to enter, as he was an outsider, walked the course for love of the thing, coming in about 250 yards ahead. The other results were : Cutler first, Griffin second, Laurence third. In our opinion the last gentleman was the only one who honestly walked the course, the others breaking several times.

QUEENSLANDERS ON THE WATER BURY. THE WONDER OF THE AGE. A WONDERFUL WATCH. CORRECT TIME FOR 13s 6d. In appearance tlie Waterbury Watch is as suitable for a " (look" as it is for a demo crat. It will last through school, college, professional, love-making, and matrimonial difficulties, and then be solid enough to put away for the baby to play with. It will keep better time than the Post-office Clock, and needs no stafi' of well-paid officials to look after it. It is a thing of beauty to the boy, a joy forever to the man, and a comfort in every sense of tlie word to the old people. 13s Gil is the price, and the world's guaran tee goes with it. " Marooc-hie (Queensland), "12th August, ISS6. "I received the Waterbury watch all right. She is a splendid timekeeper—l could not wish for better, and is worth double the money.—Your obedient servant. "SAME. MANN." " Brighton Downs (Queensland), '"29th July, ISSG.

" Many thanks for the Waterbury, which has proved an excellent timekeeper. 1 am wearing it every day, and with all the rough work it gets it never varies. No busliiiuui should be without one.—Yours truly, "A. J. LOW." "Miriam Vale, 31st July, ISBG. " The Watch (Waterbury) you sent me gives immense satisfaction. He is quite a joke here ; wo call him ' Waterbury,' and you would think he was one of the family. They say, ' Well, how's Waterbury this morning?' No answer required, as he's always right. He makes good running with an eight guinea Lever purchased in London, and it seems really absurd how you can get a good timekeeper for tho money.—Yours, " A WILT." " One Mile, Ravenswood, "August 1, IS3G. " The Waterbury arrived safe, and keeps excellent time. I've found it all it is repre sented to be. — Yours, etc., " HUGH McCOLL." " Charters Towers, Ist August, ISS6. "I duly received my Waterbury, and showed it to a very old friend, who re marked, ' What-a-berry nice watch.' It's a splendid timekeeper, never having varied a minute since its arrival.—Yours truly, "R. F. ALLOM." " Reid's Creek, Queensland,' " July 2S, ISSG. " Tho Waterbury arrived 12 days ago, and I immediately wound it up and started it. It has kept perfect time ever since, and that so perfect a timekeeper can be pro duced at so small a cost is a marvel.— Yours, &.Q., "J. BENNETT." " Maytown, Queensland, " July 20, 13SG. " Received Waterbury, and am very pleased with it. There are several people wearing them here, and all say they are more than satisfied with them. — Yours, &c\, " W. E. EVANS."

The Waterbury is not only the cheapest watch in the world to buy, but the cheap est to repair as well. With the same care bestowed upon it as upon an ordinary watch, it will outlast its most expensive rivals, and should it get out of order Messrs. E. Porter and Co. have arranged with a first-class watchmaker to repair at a price which will not exceed half-a-crown.
