ELECTRIC LIGHTING.

tlie *•%<* of Wellington's T Report. ° the Wov"""-' -* .„ at City Council in %i t^on on the proposal to eleotricifcy. fche Mayor at^DLV ?herethe S™">™can eiD2introduCed for Private ? t 0f _toTT by acom Pany with acapi « 3_ * -"WiSr -_wer is supplied >_ ttTS^^bin'. the cost. . raceis about £2,300, the

light is supplied by a single dynamo of 520 candle power, and the cost of dynamo and turbine, with wires laid on to houses, is about £1,800. It hud been intended to lay the wires in the main street underground, and in other.streets to carry them on poles, but it is probable that all the wires will be carried on poles, as they are thus considered less liable to injury than if laid underground. Private consumers have to provide their own fittings, the Company charging for supplying the light for each lamp of 20 candle power the sum of £2 per annum, the user being at, liberty to use it from dark to daylight/ After discussing the question of the applicability of the electric light to Wellington, and the efficacy of water as motive power, the report has the following on tho question of cheapness :— "At Broomhill, in England, where one of the most complete plants in the Kingdom has been laid down, costing for engine, boilers, dynamo, batteries, buildings, etc., £600, ac curate accounts have been kept for several years of every penny spent on the light, and they have brought the cost down to one seventh of a penny per hour for a 20 candle power lamp. A six-foot gas burner costs Jd per hour, with gas at 3s 6d per 1,000 ; the electric light thus proving nearly twice as cheap as gas at 3s 6d per 1,000. It is expected to be brought further down still to one-tenthof apennyperhour. lam informed by an engineer who was engaged in fitting up Taunton, in England, that the charge is for a 1,200 candle power arc light 2d per hour, and incandescent lamp 20 candle power £1 per annum. To sum up, a 20 candle power lamp would cost Reefton £2 per annum, Broomhill £1 Is Bd, Taunton £1 ; in each case wear and tear and profit are included. In Wellington, according to the Corporation books the mean of 40 meter lamps shows that it costs for gas alone £3 17s 9d ; but if we add breakage, wear and tear, the cost is £6 10s each lamp. In 1872 it cost to light Brooklyn £145,000 with a popu lation of 400,000 ; in 1887, the cost by elec tricity is£Bs,ooo, although the population has increased to 700,000." At present Wellington Corporation spends £1,650 per annum on i street lighting, against £2,112 spent in j Auckland, £2,600 in Christchurch, and £2,730 in Dunedin. The Mayor of Welling ton estimates that by using water power, an equal illuminating power can be got from electricity at Wellington for £650 per annum, thus faying about £1,000. The Mayor's re port has been referred to a committee for consideration.

ANCIENT MAORI RELICS.

Interesting Discovery Kear Wjnaugarei.

The Opuawhanga correspondent of the «' Northern Advocate " writes : "It is re ported that while the men were erecting a dam in the bush for Messrs Galbraith and Johnson, some strange discoveries were made. Some 15 feet under the bed of the river human bones have been exhumed, bearing signs of having existed over 100 years ago. Also some mounds on * the hillside were dis covered the shape of graves, and pro: bably some hundreds have been buried there. As a friend of mine, an old settler here, and a man thoroughly conversant with Maori warfare and customs, tells me that a great battle was fought at Whana naki close to the graves. The vic torious Maoris on this occasion also made a raid on tho Poor Knights, killing 300 and taking 1,000 pri soners—many of whom were ultimately cooked in the copper by the Maoris and eaten. An old native (probably 100 years old), and now living along the coast, re members his father talking of the fight, and asserts that his great grandfather led tlie victars and helped to eat the human flesh. The old native also tells me of a wonderful feat being performed at that light, where a native at \Vhananaki threw a spear a dis tance of 400 yards, killing a chief by hitting him in the stomach."

WAIKATO NOTES.

(by telegraph.— own correspondent.)

Hamilton, this day. At a meeting of the members of the Hamil ton Baths Gommittee,it was agreed, •• Tha^ tho Hamilton West bath be extended 25fj. into the stream, and that a small office be added for the use of the caretaker. That the dressing-rooms be partitioned off", to afford more accommodation for the public. That the key of the Hamilton East bath be entrusted to some adult responsible per son, from whom it can be had on condition of its being returned. That Mr PannelPs offer to rent the Hamilton West bath at £10 per annum be accepted. "

The Waikato Contest

At the declaration of the poll at Cam bridge on Saturday, Mr Russell took his defeat with" anything but good grace. He said that he would still strive to persevere. The contest has, however, taught the mem ber for Waikato that he cannot always lie on his oars. Regarding the non-gumming oi voting papers, that is considered a trifling objection.

Snow on Flroßgia

Pirongia was covered with snow on Satur day movning. The Waikato Hunt Club have fixed their next meeting for October 28th. A Fi_*S--onas._e Maori Wedding:.

A fashionable Maori wedding in the old style was celebrated at Whati whatihoe last Saturday, the bride's friends marching down in a body, and formally handing her over to the bridegroom's relatives. The ceremony took place early in the morning, and it was after sundown before the feasting and speechifying terminated. ' Both parties were young and well connected. Major Jacknon and Mr J. B. Why be, the members for Waipa and Waikato, left here by yesterday's train for Auckland. A good many friends went to see them off. Mr Frank Hubbard, of Rangiriri, has announced his intention of standing as a candidate for the Waikato County Coun cil.

Mr Hyatt delivered a very interesting lecture to a crowded house at Cambridge on Friday night last, the subject being " Springs, Geysers, and Terraces." The following team will represent Hamil ton in the cricket match next Saturday with Paterangi : — Messrs Browning, Barton, Chapped, Connelly, Cowper, Gaudin, Rath ford, Rutherford, Sage, Stevens, and Yon Stunner. Emergencies : Edgecumbe', Smith, Bindon, and Andrews. Dr. Kenny, the Medical Officer of the Waikato District Hospital, has promised to deliver a course of physiological lectures, which,there can be no doubt,will prove both instructive and entertaining. The weather during the past two days has been very cold. Snow can be plainly seen on Pirongia from Hamilton. A social gathering in connection with St. Andrew's Church, Cambridge, will be held on Thursday evening next.

The Cambridge people are nob exactly pleased with the new railway time-table. John Heenan, who had his loft leg am putated through the knee joint on Satur day at the District Hospital, is progressing favourably. '

The Rev. R. Sommerville will deliver a lecture- on '•Cant," in St. James's Hall, on Wednesday next, October sth. Admis sion, Is.—LAdvt.J .

If you should happen to meet a well dressed gentleman, yon.may, depend upon it he patronises Wool-amis, the tailor,' at Sydenham House, Grey-street.—[Adyt.]
