BISHOP NEVILLE AND THE SCHOOLS.

The "Star" Challenges Him to Meet the Female Teachers.

(by telegkaph—own correspondent.)

Dunedin, this day. Thb " Star" thinks that the effect of Bishop Neville's attack on the education Bystem is to put back for three years favour able consideration of the Bible-in-schools question. If he has no more convinc ing proofs of his assertions respecting our school children than he gave to his audience he owes an ample apology to every parent of, and to every school child in New Zealand. Were a meeting of female teachers convened to consider the matter it would be desirable that he should be invited to attend it and make good his charges. It is possible that in such a case he might regard discretion as the better part of valour and keep away, but the matter will scarcely be allowed to rest as it is. An angry feeling" has been engendered such as will not easily be allayed, and it is doubly unfor tunate that it should have emanated from such a high quarter. Bishop Neville's •words will be read and quoted in other colonies and at Home also, and this means that a disgraceful andaltogether undeserved etigma will be attached to the rising generation of New Zealand.

BOARD OF EDUCATION.

The weekly meeting is taking place this afternoon. Present: Messrs S. Luke (chairman), J. W. Carr, J. M. Lennox, and J. H. Upton.

Girls' High School, —The following telegram from the, Education Department was tabled :—" Minister regret we cannot make further payments to Girls' High School till estimates passed. He fol lows precedent of 1884. —E. Gibbs." This was in reply to the following applica tion from the Board. "Can you kindly manage for payment of instalment of grant in aid of Girls' High School for quarter ended 30th June last. Funds are required to carry on school." Pupip Teachers' Classes.—The Train ing College Visiting Committee's report stated that the Principal had been asked to endeavour to arrange for the pupil teachers' classes to be held at an earlier hour on Monday and Thursday afternoons. Chairman's Report.—This report stated that the. following arrangements had been made in connection with probationary pupil teachers : Edith Brown to Waio kauka (Thames), Margaret Newman to Newton East, Hilda M. E. Kissling to Mount Eden. Miss M. G. Kerr's resigna tion at Otonga and Opuawhanga schools had been received.

Annual Services and Contracts.— It was resolved to invite tenders for the above, returnable on the 9th of Septem ber.

Night School.— The time table for the free night school was approved.

AGRICULTURAL HALL.

Dog Show.

A show of dogs under the. auspices of the Auckland Poultry, Pigeon and Canary Association was opened in the Agricul ural Hall, City Market, to-day. This ex hibition is probably one of the best of its kind ever held in New Zealand, as though in some classes the exhibits are not numerous the quality of the majority of the animals shown makes up for the de ficiency in the number of exhibits. Unquestionably the feature of this show is the splendid collection of fox terriers, there being no fewer than 26 exhibits, including some received from the South. The quality of the latter, however, shows that their breeding is from an inferior strain to most of the local dogs. Amongst the exhibits is Mr J. B. Williamson's Nipper,who ia active, despite the weight of twelve years, and the fact that he is minus an eye. He was imported by the late Mr S. Morrin. Mr 0. B. Waymouth has a fine bitch, which cost, we believe, L 25 in England, and Mr S. Jackson, junior, in Topey has one of the finest animals of her class. Of the large dog 3 ••• Mastiffs, Newfoundlands and St. Bernards, there are but few entries. The largest Newfoundland is shown by Mr Boylan, a magnificent fellow, 2 years old. He scarcely,however, shows so much quality as some of the others. Mr J. Whitson's grand St. Bernard is sure to be the cyno sure of all eyes. He is valued at LIOO, and has never failed to win the prize when exhibited. With coursing com ing into popularity it is difficult to account for the fact that there are only three greyhounds on exhibition. Of sporting dogs there is a gveat variety. The best quality is shown in Gordons and Clumbers. To our fancy, Mr F. Ireland's Gordon setter is far and away the hand somest dog here. The Clumbers would be hard to beat anywhere. The cockers are good, one of the best being Mrs King's dog, which has previously won two prizes. The Collies are of unequal quality, but as more attention is now being paid to breed ing from good imported animals we may hope for marked improvement soon. Some capital bulldogs are shown, but the small pet breeds are not so good as wo have seen. Mr 0. B. Waymouth, however, has a magnificent Maltese poodle bitch, which would not be out-classed anywhere. PRIZE LIST. The following is the prize list, the judges being Captain Corbett, Messrs Maguire and Kinlocli :— Mastiffs : 1, W. D. Dallen ; 2, A. Hogg. Newfoundlands (dogs) : 1 and special, Captain Lander ; 2. W. Boylan. Newfoundlands (bitches) : 1, J. Maguire, St. Bernard (clogs) : 1, J. Whitson ; 2, J. Cunningham ;3, J. Rae.

FIELD GUN DRILL COMPETI TION.

An unusually large number of spectators assembled at the Drill-shed last even ing to witness the competition in field gun drill for Messrs Hoffmann and Son's silver cup. Amongst those present were Bishop Cowie, chaplain of the corps, and Mrs Cowie, Captain-Command ant Leßoy, Lieutenant - Colonel Di^nan, Lieutenant-Colonel Mahon, and a number of their officers, Herr Carl Schmitt, A.'D.C. to Major-General Sir George Whitmore, and a large number of ladies. Three detachments were formed under Ser geants W. T. Payne, Henderson, and Corporal O'Brien (in the absence of Ser geant Allen). A full muster of the Battery were on parade under Capt. Payne, Lieuts. Geddes and Ansell. The tirst detachment to appear was that under Sergt. Payne,and theyacquitted themselves remarkably well, bringing down a round of applause and losing only two points out of a possible fifty. The second detachment was that under Sergt. Henderson, who were very smart in their movements, but one or two erroi-s were noticeable, and they were credited with 44 points out of the maximum 50. The next was Corporal O'Brien's detachment, and although they drilled well, they lacked the smartness and combination that was so noticeable in the winners ; they were credited with 42 points. It is bub just to state that they were severely handicapped by the un avoidable absence of their Sergeant, whose place had to be filled by another man. The whole battery were then drilled by Captain Payne simultaneously, and the detachment under Sergeant Payne again fully demon strated their superiority, and were re peatedly applauded for their smartness by the spectators. The names of the winners who become the holders of Messrs Hoffmann and Son's cup and entitled to badges, are Sergeant W. T. Payne, Bomb. Morrow, Gunners T. Jenkins, VV. Wallace, Doughty, Budd, Pulham, Bloom field, A. Lipscombe. The above members compete in infantry drill next Thursday for Dr. Moore's medal. Sergeant Major Silver and Petty-officer Pacey, of the Permanent Artillery and Torpedo Corps respectively, acted as Judge and time-keeper, giving great satisfaction, and receiving a hearty vote of thanks for their services.
