(BY TELEGRAPH—PRESS ASSOCIATION.)

THE LAKE ROAD RAVE PAYERS.

A special meeting of the ratepayers of the Takapuna Lake Road District was held last Saturday at the office of the Board at 7 o'clock. It was called by the Chairman in response to a request received from 22 of the ratepayers of the district. About 20 ratepayers attended. On the motion of Mr E. Harrow, seconded by Mr McKay, Mr M. Shea was voted to the chair. Mr Harrow stated that the object of the meeting was of the utmost importance to the whole colony, and involved much more than at first was apparent. The prin cipal object was to find out the feeling of the ratepayers throughout the whole county of Waitemata with regard to the present double-rating system. The idea was to try and combine together so that at the November election for the County Council all those elected should go in pledged to do their best to hand over the main roads to the various road boards. Mr Harrow expressed sorrow that there had not been a larger attendance at the meet ing, as it showed a want of interest in the affairs of the district. He pointed out that at the last election only 33 voted out of 200 electors. He then referred to the state of the main road, which he thought tended to keep people out of the district. Mr Harrow instanced several cases of what he considered great mismanagement. Mr Harrow handed in a letter from Mr E. W. Alison, expressing

his sorrow that, owing to unforeseen circum stances, lie would be precluded from afc tendi iig the meeting. Control of Roads.—On the motion of Mr Harrow, seconded by Mr Kelly, it was unanimously,, resolved "That the Chairman of the Lake Road Board be re quested to communicate with the various Road Boards in the Waitcmata County with the view of resuming entire control of the roads in their own districts, in order to avoid the ruinous system of taxation now in force of paying a county rate us well as a rate to the Road Boards." It was also re solved, on the motion of.MrWormel, .seconded by Mr B. Harrow, "That the Chairman of the Lake Road Board ascertain as soon as possible what steps should be taken to have the operation of the Countiii Act suspended in the above district; also what would be the position with regard to con tributions to Charitable Aid if the Counties Act was .suspended." Itwasfuitber resolved, on the motion of Mr R. Mackay, seconded by Mr Harrow, " That this meet ing do now adjourn, and that the Chairman of tho Lake Road Board be requested to call a public meeting within a fortnight from this date,"

In an advertisement in another column Leut-Col. Malfon notifies the burgesses of the Karangahape Ward that he is a candi date for their sufferages at the forthcoming election of representative in the City Coun cil. Mr Mahon is well known in this city having filled various appointment amongst which is that of drill instructor of the public schools.

A glove fight between E. Donovan (middle-weight champion of New Zealand) and J. Gamble (middle-weight champion of Bathurst, N.S.W.) took place in the Agri cultural IJall on Saturday night, and re suited in a victory for Donovan. There was a large attendance. The stakes were £20 a-side and the entrance money. Seven rounds were fought, and in the last 3rd Donovan knocked Gamble off his feet several times. When time was called for the Bth round, Gamble came to the front and said that, nob being in condition, he would yield the match to Donovan. 11. Matthews (refcroe). accordingly declared the match won by the local pugilist. J. Chaafe acted as time-keeper. Gamble subsequently challenged Donovan to another match, a fortnight or throe weeks honce, when he shall be in condition, and for any stakes that Donovan elects to propose.

At the church parade yesterday morning Onehunga presented the appearance of a good garrison town, the parade states showing on parade, 1 captain, 6 subalterns, 1 staff-officer, 10 non-commissioned officers, and 131 rank and file. The Waitemafca Navals arrived by the ten o'clock train from Auckland. The forces mustered and fell in at the corner of Queen and Church streets in the following order : Waitemata Navals on the right, commanded by Lieutenants Boyso and Keesing, with a strength of 30, all ranks ; Onehunga Naval Artillery, led by Captain Hulse and Lieu tenants Webb and Wilson, with 65 men all told ; Onehunga Rifles, ori the left of the line, commanded by Lieutenants Glenny and Acting-Lieutenant Lundon, with a total of 43. Hon. Staff" Surgeon W. R. Erson, M.D., was also present. The whole force was commanded by Captain Hulse. At 10,30 a.m. the force marched off, headed by their respective bands, and made a circuit of the town, dropping en route the Roman Catholics and those of other denominations at their respective places of worship, the main body going on to St. Peter's Anglican Church, where a . most ap propriate sermon was preached by the Rev. W. Beattie, of St. John's College. After Church service the Waitemata Coxn pany was entertained to a dinner by the Onehunga Navals at the Hibernian, where Acting-Commissariat General (Host Terna han) had provided a most excellent repast, which was served in his usual splendid manner. After ample justice being done to the good things, Captain Hulse proposed the Queen's health, which was drunk by all present. Lieut. Kee3ing then, on behalf of his Company, invited the Onehunga NavalS to church on next Sunday week, which was accepted most cordially. The comrades then dispersed, having enjoyed both bodjTy as well as spiritually a very pleasant Sun day—the Waitematas returning to Auck land by the 5.30 train.

John Christopher Lander was examined to-day by the Official Assignee. He stated : I have been many years in the ser vice of the Devon port Steam Ferry Com pany, and am now master of one of their steamers at a salary of £3 10s per Aveek. My difficulty has arisen from two causes, namely, sickness in my family and embarrasment consequent on the purchase of a cottage home. During the last four years I have lost three children, and during much of this time my wife has been in bad health, and in consequence ot this I have been put to great expense. My sister-in-law has also been on my hands for a considerable time and in bad health. On the occasion of my marriage, about three years ago, I arranged to purchase a cottage for £170. 1 put down £20 in cash, and borrowed the balance from the Build ing Society. This was afterwards cleared by a mortgage of £115 at 9 per cent. I after wards borrowed £20 to enable me to make some additions tothehouse. Thelatterwasto be repaid by weekly instalments. Through the sickness referred to, and being sus pended from my employment for one month without pay, I got into arrears with my mortgage interest and repayments, and pressure being brought to bear on me, tho bailiffs were put in, I was compelled to file a petition of insolvency. My liability for the house pro perty, principal and interest, amounts to £139 4s 6d, and I value the place at £160. This is really the only asset I have got. as my household furniture is worth less than £25. I cannot at present see my way to make any offer to pay oft my unsecured debts, amounting to £50 8s 6d ; my present, household expenses, business, etc., absorb all my hvonie, and 1 am satis lied I .could not do with less,

TURNING THE TABLES ON BUNNY.

Nothing definite has been decided about the third vessel yet, but negotiations are likely to be con cluded very speedily. The Jubilee fleet is to be manned by officers and seamen in uniform, bearing the words "Jubilee S.s. Company."

ALLEGED CONCEALMENT OF GOODS BY A BANKRUPT.

(by telegraph—press association.)

Cisborne, this day. S. M. Wilson, late proprietor of the Albion Hotel, the premises of which were recently burned, and who filed his schedule after the lire, was to-day committed for trial on the charge of concealing a large amount of property from the OlHeial As signee. The accused made a num ber of extraordinary statements regard ing the property, one being that his nursemaid owned a buggy in his possession having paid iifty pounds* out of her wages for it.

A FAST PASSAGE.

The New Zealand Shipping Company have received a cablegram from their London office announcing the arrival of the R.M.S. Ruapebu at Plymouth on Sunday, all well.

CTORIAN EXHIBITION.

(by telegraph.—press association. )

Wellington, this day.

The Premier of Victoria has telegraphed to Sir Robert Stout asking him

to afford facilities for disseminating information in New Zealand respecting tho eontennial Exhibition in Melbourne. The New Zealand Government have replied stating that they will give every opportunity of doing so pending the decision of Parlia ment as to New Zealand's representation at the exhibition.

Thames, this day. Saxon.—The monthly cleaning up took place this afternoon for a good return of 4030zs retorted gold from 230 loads quartz and 110 lbs picked lior.e.

Wellington, this day. No less than three patients died at the Aeyium on Saturday and yesterday. Death resulted from natural causes in each in stance. They wore all men, and none had been in any great length of time.

The police are still vigorously carrying on their crusade anainst by-law offenders. No less than twenty summonses for breaches of these laws were issued to-day.

A monster meeting of railway employees is convened for to-morrow (Tuesday)' at Robson's Rooms for the purpose of nominating a member to re present the employees on the Board o Appeal now being appointed for the Pro vincial District of Auckland. As this is a matter materially affecting the interests of all the men, it is to be hoped that they will make a special endeavour to be present.

The market still keeps firm for insur ance stocks. New Zealand Insurances are quoted at about 70s; Unions, 225; Colonials 335. New Zealand Banks have changed hands at £15 15s, but buyers are few. In mining Cambrias are wanted at 3s 6d, Saxons about 2s 4d. The return of melted gold from the Saxon is very satisfactory. A divi dend of 6d is expected. Large parcels of Crowns (Karangahake), were sold at auction to-day, realizing about Is 6d per share. The position of the mine is excel lent ; with 300 tons of quartz broken out which will average over £5 per ton, and the extreme possibility of the property being taken over at a good price, and part shares in the Company make this claim of some value. Royal Oaks (Coromandel) are wanted. The prospectsof this Company are excellent. Late this afternoon the Secre tary of Moanatairai Goldmining Company received the following cable:—"London agent requires extension of time till October." No doubt the directors will consider the matter to-morrow, and pro bably grant the extension requested. The message is hopeful, as showing that the directors! offer is still being considered.

At an adjourned meeting of J. Browne and Co.'s creditors at 2.30 this afternoon, the bankrupts submitted an account of their losses. Mr Jowitt pointed out that the debtors had previously main tained positively that they were mak ing a profit on their bread, and by these representationsthey gotfioureasilyfrom him and others. Yetintheaccountnowsubmitted there was a large item "for selling bread at a loss." Mr Hermann Brown remarked, that this loss was a mere bagatelle as com pared with the £800 of entire loss. It was criminal to keep on a losing business like that at the expense of the unfortunate credi tors. The assignee said he could represent all this to the Court, but the bankrupts could not be punished by the creditors for it. It was resolved, on the motion of Mr Jowitt, seconded by Mr H. Brown, "That the creditors are clearly of opinion that the deficiency shown cannot be honestly accounted for, but they decline to spend their money in endeavour ing to obtain a conviction, because they are well aware from past experience that the existing bankruptcy laws are worse than useless, to them. The Official Assignee is hereby requested to forward a copy of this resolution—firstly, to the Minister of Justice; secondly, to His Honor Judge Ward: and thirdly, to the Chairmen of the Chambers of Commerce of Auckland, Christ-church, Dunedin, In vercargili, and Wellington,
