The Auckland con- . tingent will take the steamer to New Ply : ;'.... mouth, where they disembark, and join .the South train and continue their journey to Wellington by rail, being joined en route by the Taranaki, W anganui, and Manawatu representatives.

The whole'of the i men will live in camp, the necessary tents . being sent from the Government store. The ammunition to be used is Kynock's, 1886. It has not yet been decided how many ", . targets will be erected, but as some 350 men are expected to take part in the com-. ■ , petitions it will be neceeeary for the Asso ■' ciation to have at least 20 or 24, co as to ensure the championßhipe being decided in a' week. Col. Tosswell, of Chrietchurch, or , Major Hammersley, of Timaru, will be in " charge of the camp, and among the staff will be Lieut.-Col. Mahon, of Auckland; " Captain Neill, of Wanganui; and Lient. < Borlasp, of Wanganui.

The Licensing Elections.

(To tho Editor,) Sm,—On Thursday next, the 17th, the? licensing elections lor the three city -wards Will take place, and as tho independent candidates have not yet expressed their views, I would like to know what their action would bo in the event of any of the following applications being made : An ox tenuionof timotollor 12o'olock ; any increase ! iuthojpresereinumberoi licenses; unyincreaee' in number of bare. Last your these Earns gentlemen frankly stated their plank ; why their reticence now ? I have as yet) pro mised my vote to neither party, but lam noc going to vote in the dark, especially after Mr Harper's very candid utterance1 when sitting on tho Bench at the annual and quarterly meeting, and unless I get satisfactory answers to my inquiry I shall certainly support the temperance party.— A City South Elkctok.

..High Honours.—The last American mail bangs the announcement of the can didacy ot the Hon. H. H. Warner, /;<#' Kochaeter, New York, proprietor, of Warner's Safe Remedies, for the'office of United States Senator for the State of New York.

The term of office is six years. The election ia by joint ballot of the State Aesembly and Senate.
