PRICE-ONE PENNY

TABLE TALK.

"Female Maccabe" to-night. Polls declared.

Scrutiny in Newton. Candidates let off steam. Complaints of treachery and broken pre» mises.

Serves them right; they should not ask for pledges. The defeated men blame the Stab with spoiling their chances. Mr Reader Wood is the only disappointed man who does not show it. He says: "I attribute my defeat to having polled an insufficient number of votes."

Civil sessions of Supreme Court opened to-day. "Farewell, vain world, I'm going home:" It is said that Sir Robert .Stout will lcavo for England within a few weeks. Thomas Skinner, an inmate of Napier Refuge, was found dead in bed this morn ing.

Auckland Hospital and Charitable Aid Board's bank overdraft on the 27th Septem ber amounted to £395 5s sd. During last year the Star Boating Club, Wellington, spent £200 on new plant and paid off £15C of debt. John Ralph, a shepherd at St. Helens, Canterbury, was drowned while attempting to ford the Toeheroa River on horseback yesterday morning. Parliament is to meet this day week. In j the interval, the wire-pullers will be busy. It is evident that the Colonial Treasurer is making a strong bid for power again. Auckland members go South by s.s. Hawea on Tuesday next. Will they be free from intrigue? Are there none of them ambitious of a seat in' bhe Cabinet ? • The Hawea is tojand Aucklanders at New Plymouth, whence a special train will take them to Wellington. Which Auckland election is it that is ■supposed to be invalid because one candi date did not deposit £10 ? Don't know ; but it was Colonel Fraser, of Thames, who was patriotic enough to offer to resign in Sir Robert Stout's favour. Northern Maoris are sending down a Board of Advice to help Sydney Tai whanga, M.H.R., to secure their rights under the Treaty of Waitangi. Mr Walter Harttioll, of Rakaia, one of tha largest sheep farmers in Canterbury, died suddenly on Tuesday last. " I wonder what makes my eyes so weak?" said a masher to a gentleman. " They are in a weak place," responded the latter. Dnnedin folks are petitioning Sir Robt. Stout to re-consider his decision and offer, himself for election again. He is hob likely to heed them. ! Professor Orson Squire Fowler, the noted phrenologist, died in Connecticut, August 18th, aged 78 years. " I'm 70 years of age, and I never had a; bath in my life," said an old lady who was' applying for admission to the Immigrants'i Home, Melbourne, the other day. Lady students are distinguishing them selves in the Royal Irish University. Lasb year, out of seventy-eight candidates who presented themselves, no fewer than seven ty-one passed. Of these, twenty-seven passed with honours, nine gained the degree cf 8.A., and one was admitted to the degree 6SM.A. It requires great moral strength and tenacity of purpose to enable a man to sleep till 7 in the morning when an in dusirious fly has decided that he had better, get up at five.

I hereby give notice that I ■will at the hour of 12 o'clock noon of MONDAY the third day of October, 1887, at St. George's Hall, Great North Road, announce the number of votes given to each candidate at the Polling on Monday last for the above district, and de clare the candidate who has received the greatest number of votes thereat to be duly elected as Member of the House of Representa tives for the above district. Dated this 29th day of September, 1887. JOHN A. BEALE, Returning Officer. TO THE ELECTORS OF NEWTON. Gentlemen,—Havinjj to return to Wellington before the oflicial declaration of the Poll, at ■which I was anxious to have personally thanked you, 1 take this opportunity of expressing my most sincere gratitude to those electors and other gentlemen who supported me in the recent election. No explanation from me is needed to acquaint you of the causes of my defeat. The contest, 80 far as myself and my frionds are concerned, has been utterly devoid pf intrigue or any kind of intolerance—a consola tion, I am sure, full of honour to myself and to the six hundred and twelve faithful electors who voted for me. It is chiefly to be regretted that owing to a wanton division of your votes, the views of the majority of the electors have been unworthily set at naught. ]n courting the favours of e'ectors at any time I have never promised more than a humble and persevering, endeavour to do my duty to the people, and I look back with pleasure and comfort to my past political actions, which, I believe, are without reproach. Thanking you again. I remain. Yours faithfully. JOS. A. TOLE. EDEN ELECT IO N. All Accounts against Mr MITCUELSON'S Com mittee to be rendered to the undersigned before TO-MORROW (Friday), care of E.

ADVICE TO LADIES.! Tiic Ladifts of Auckland are now casting about for their new SPRING AND SUMMER DRESSES. The two considerations that weigh of most importance may be said to be—Pick and Price, j A word of timely advice, therefore, may not bo out of place. Look around well before buying. Dozens of Ladies select at first sight only to disappoint themselves by seeing an article a few days after that would be much preferred and often at a lower .figure. For instance, a lady remarked only a couple of days since, " Did you! see that charming: and magnificent lot of prints at Abbott's in Newton ? I feel quite vexed that 1 have bought." Tllpse were the actual words uttered, and we fear will be the sentiments of not a few, as they review the stock now showing! at the above-named's establishment. In refer-' enee to which It. H. ABBOTT & CO. wish to say that they^ have seaa-ched the markets in! every direction to enable them to place before, their patrons a choice, profuse, and unwearying] variety of Prints, Hats, Bonnets, and Summer Goods in general, all at as reasonable a figure as: it is possible for them to be got for money.' "We have now over 1,000 designs in new Prints, and our Stock will be replenished by Novelties1 by each steamer. We furttoer beg to informi our well-wishers that, notwithstanding the un-: denied badness of the times, our trade shows an| increase of from 50 to 70 per cent, month byj month upon last year's trade. This is a great;; proof to lis of public encouragement of our; endeavours to place before the public an EXCELLENT VARIETY OV GOODS i at the Lowest Obtainable Figure for Cash, andi encourages us to still further efforts on behalf! oE our patrons. It has never been a part of our' policy to deceive tl>e public in the. slightest! degree by large advertisements announcing bogus reduc ions, etc. If we announce* a Cheap Line, our customers can bear tis out that it lias never been over-described. Wo ho^o this season to open out from time to time Linos as! Astonishing as Heretofore, of which announce-1 ment will be Riven. Besides offering Good' Value and a Splendid Assortment of Befges.j Prints, Millinery, and Season Goods in general,! wo have Just Opened a Job Lino or Bojvs'J Youths', and small Men's Flax Shirts of Goi\di Quality, at Is. each. The regular value of thesjj is fully from Is. 9d. to 2s. 6d.; at " i R. H. ABBOTT & CO., ' Karangahapo Road, and Upper Symonds-street mo THE SHAREHOLDERS OF THE ■*■ SOUTH BRITISH FIRE AND MAIQN ifl INSURANCE- COMPANY. Gentlemen,—Some months ago it was de. termined by ballot which of two Directors Simultaneously elected should retire, and the ballot having been determined in my favour, I considered the matter so far settled that in my' circular letter I J'elt justified in stating that "I am not now standing lor re-election as a Director." But the parties to the ballot now assert that the manner of so determining which Director should retire and which remain was not war. rantod by the Articles of Association, and that it will be necessary for me to be re-elected in order to retain my seat on the Direc tory. I deem it, therefore, advisable to draw attention to the fact, in explanation of the delay which has occurred in my appeal to your selves.'and to state that I intend to offer my.3ell for re election as a Director at the next Ordinary General Meeting of the Shareholdtrj. I am, &c, HENRY CHAMBERLIN. UCKLAND AGRICULTURAL AND MERCANTILE CO. (LIMITED), IN LIQUIDATION.
