CAMBRIDGE BOROUGH COUNCIL. ♦ 'l'lio ordinary moutlily meeting of the abo Vl . Council was held on Thursday evening iW,tlieMayor,(Jtr. W. V. Bucklauu\ ami < ouccillors T. Wells, c.

Major Miunitt wrote drawing the Coun cil's attention to the danger which exists in the town at night through cittle and hor ses being permitted to wander at large. 'The .Mayor said Councillor Richardson had informed him that even sheep were tethered on the roadways. Asked whether there was a ranger, the clerk said there was. Councillors expressed displeasure at the manner in which he performed his duties, and a-reed that some change must be nmd.v Some members thought the time was fast approaching when cattle and horses would have to be kept ofl the roadways altogether. Councillor Wells moved, that with a view of more vigilant ranging, the matter be referred to the Mayor and Councillor Es cott. This was carried. It was further decided that it be an in struction to any ranger who might be ap pointed, to impound all horses found on the streets during day or night. gas works. Mr T. F. Martin, c mnsel to the Muni cipal Association of New Zealand, wrote in reply to the Council's enquiry that in his opinion the Council had not the power to grant to a private company the right to supply a town generally with gas under "The Municipal Corporations Act, 1900." The private company would require to ob tain a private Act. The Council, however, had power under section 33-1 of the Act of 19C0 to contract for the lighting of the streets, public places and public buildings of the borough. Cr. Wells said with all deference to Mr Martin, the thing was and had been done, Birkenhead being one of the places. It was considered that it could also be worked at Cambridge. STREET LIGHTING. Mr F. J. Brooks wrote that the time for which Messrs Wilkinson and Co. undertook to light the street lamp at the corner of Victoria and Queen streets expired on the 26th September last, but in the present in stance they had kept it lighted to the pre sent time. As the light was greatly appreciated by the public he respectfully asked the Council to provide for its continuance until a more comprehensive system of street lighting was inaugurated. The writer thought Messrs Wilkinson and Co. deserved thanks for the public spirit they bad s' own in the matter, for as far it had been unremuner ative to them. He enclosed for the Coun cil's perusal a letter from the firm named, offering to sell the lamp for £5, and to light it for £.') per annum. It w»g decided not to buy the lamp, but to accept the oiler for lighting, PINE TREES. It was decided to notify Messrs S uter and Co. that the treas on their property must be topped. It was decided to send a similar notifi cation to Mr McFarlane. HIGH LEVEL BRIDGE. A number of letters from the Xew Zea land representative of Brown and Co., bridge builders, of Liverpool, were read, also rough sketches were submitted. A copy of regulations relating to the matter of local bodies and bridges con struction was also received from the Go vernment. 'The M lyor briefly explained that the Act said local bodies should contribute towards construction, but nothing was mentioned about boundaries. Such proportion of cost could be demanded from contributing bodies in instalments as the work -gro gressed. It seemed to him they could not raise -a loan in Cambridge except for their individual share, the other bodies in terested to do likewise. That being so, it would be necessary to submit to those bo.lies full plans and particulars of their shares The Borough Council was in the position of having all the responsibility but could only raise its own proportion of the the cost by way of loan. It was decided that the whole matter be left in the hands of the works committee. Mr Robt. Fisher wrote conveying the in formation that that at a meeting the rate payers of the Pukekura district, held at Cambridge West on the Oth inst., a resolu tion was passed that the lift bridge pro posed for Cambridge would not meet the requirements of the district, and that the Council be requesded to get estimates for a wider structure. The Mayor said 11- feet was the usual width of bridges in other places. That width allowed two vehicles to pass one another. Cr. Ferguron aaid he understood 1 ift was a common width in America. The .Mayor said anything beyond that was an extraordinary width. I'ROI'OSED FIRE BRIGADE. Cr. Wells said with reference to afire brigade and appurtenances for the suppres sion and extinction of fires, the unexpected news had come that.the pipes for the water works would arrive in Cambridge about the second of December, so ihat they should be in the ground within two months. Mr Graham, of the Com mercial Cnion Insurance Company, had informed him that whatever reduction they would get in insurance rates would not depend en the water supply, but the efficiency with which the water could be utilised by means of a fire brigade. Wher ever the supply was sufficient and the brigade could reasonably be expected to operate—especially in big blocks—they might possibly get a reduction of 20 per cent. !fe moved: "That a committee be appointed to consider as to tho best means of using the town water supply for the pre vention of fires, also to ascertain the plant necessary and cost of same, including fire station house. Further to invite the services of those willing to form a voluuteer tire brigade. The committee to report, and make recommendation to the Council at the December meeting or before should they _ deem the matter urgent. The committee to consist of His Worship the Mayor, Cr. Davies and the mover. The .Mayor thought they would find plenty of people willing to join the brigade. c r . Davies said he had had several en quiries already. The motion was seconded and carried. WATERWORKS, 'The clerk was instructed to enquire from Mr Hunter what arrangements had been made with tho contractors and also re testing the pipes. BOROUGH ENDOWMENTS. The Finance Committee reported having inspected the Borough endowments on the Karapno Flat, with a view to preparing conditions for leasing same, and they re° commended that such leasing be adjourned until it is seen if the adjoining Crown Lauds are sold. The latter will shortly be offered by auction in Auckland. 'There port was adopted, and it was suggested that the clerk should ask for the adver tisement re the Crown Lands to be inserted ui the local papers.

The Waikato Times THAMES VALLEY GAZETTE, AND KAWHIA ADVOCATE. THE OLDEST DAILY NEWSPAPER IN THE WAIKATO. TUESDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1902. CABINET RECONSTRUCTION. A TiancßAM from the South, publish ed yesterday, stated that the Lvrna ton Times in demanding the recon struction of tlu> Cabinet submitted the, names of Messrs Laurenson, A! ilia:' McNaband Fowldsas worthy of inclu sion inthe Ministry, With all due regard to the qualifications of the Southern members, we consider it highly im politic that the Seddon Administration should so far ignore the claims of the North Island to equal representation witii l he Southas to appoint a member hailing from the latter part of the colony. The Cabinet, as composed in last Parliament, contained six southern to two northern representa tires. This inequality is, on the true basis, namely that of numbers, grossly unfair, for the North Island has a population of 2dG,720 persons as against the South Island 200,0111. It is of first importance to the colony that the unoccupied lands should be settled upon and to do this ;i vigorous public works policy must be pursued. The public works of the South js land are advanced far beyond those of this portion of the colony, and the head knowledge and standing im parted in the Cabinet by the addition of one. or even 1 wo. northern mem bers would be of inestimable value in aiding the proper and successful open ing up of our lands, the fostering of our dairy industry, the improvement of our roads and bridges, and last, but by no means least, the completion of the main trunk railway. No one with ;i sense of the fitness of things can accuse the Oovernment of ignor ing the agricultural community as a whole, but in the magnitude of their colonial reforms. they havo perhaps overshadowed the just chums of Aucklanders in this matter of equal repri sentation. To our mind, the Cabinet most accep table to Aucklanders would include either Mr (!. I'owlds or Mr .). Jf. Witheford, or Loth, of the hitter's claims to consideration for Cabinet bin.:e;:".. there can exist no doubt in the minds «»f ~dl Progressives, huring his term in I'ai liament !.>•■ has pro\ en himself ardent and consistent \u his advocacy of these reforms which con stitute the platform of advancement.

The Agricultural Department of Ar gentina expects the yield of wheat crops to average 40 per cent, above last year's. The wool clip is also exceptional, and is es timated to be worth L' 10,000,0 >U. An English company has offered to es tablish in Rumania meat-preserving works on a large scale, .should th Roumanian Government accept the offer, the company propose to export within a few years •1 '.OOo oxen, 40,0 A) pigs, and 200,000 sheep annually. It is reported by the Hiwkes Hay Herald that phenomenal hauls of soles and floun ders were made by fishermen on the Western Spit, .Napier, recently, the north westerly gates evidently bringing the fish into the bay again. Several of the nets were at times so full that they took some hauling in. There are two million sheep in the Poverty Bay district, and yet, a contem porary states, there was not an ounce of mutton in any of the local shops one morn ing last week. Fa' sheep are being secured ' iu such largo numbers for freezing in the Home and South African markets that the butchers rind it difficult to obtain sup plies. An industry which has been started in Hastings is the first of its kind in New Zealand—viz., that of making strawberry, peach, and other fruit baskets. This should be an industry capable of large ex tention, as hitherto the timber has been shipped to Melbourne, made up into crates and returned to the colony, involving an expense of double freight and 20 per cent, duty charges. The annual report of the United Stales Commissioner of Immigration shows that nearly 650,000 immigrants arrived in the United States during the last fiscal yeir. Few Chinese came, but over 11,000 Japanese. In round numbers, the arrivals from Italy were 178,000, from Ar.s.na- Hungary 171,000, and from Russia 107.000. Most European countries showed an in crease, but there was a falling-oil in the arrivals from Ireland. The poultry industry of the United States has assumed enormous proportions. There are about ninety journals in the States devoted to poultry. The prices of poultry and have been very high all : this year. This is due to the short supply and the high price of other meat food. Fowls were recently selling at Jda lb alive, turkeys about 7d, ducks about the same, and geese 20s the dozen. Eggs were w rtu 7d to .Ndthe dozen, and the demand is brisk at the price. New Zealanders will be interested in the fact that t.'ie Mess.igeries .Maritime Hue of steamships is now negotiating for the pur pose of obtaining part of the trade between San Francisco and the Hawaiian islands. Australia, the Far East, Europe, New Caledonia, and Tahiti will also be on the proposed route. The service between Sin I'raul'l.seo and Sydney will be monthly at the- start, and more fro'juent if the condi tions warrant. The French company has li! vessel?., having stivii-es on the West Coast of Africa as well as on the' Mediter ranean and the iliac!-: Sea. It is exp.--'.-d that the establishment of this lino will briie.;- about a reduction of r.Ues. Crops almost everywhere iu New South Wales are in a backward state and in many districts prospects of a harvest have been entifdy abaudoud. Many of the wheat eiups are shooting, though enly bin high, though early-sown crops iu more favour, d distrietiWire, perhaps !2iu in height. It is computed that in the Kiverina the average yeild of wheat will not amount to more than lour bushels to the acre. Considerable areas are under maize iu the (Hen lunes' district, and it the late good rains, which this district has had. hie followed by a heavier fall., good crops can reasonably be expected there, but the harvest of N'ew South "Wales generally will scarcely meet Lome requirements. Russia is aot content with diplomatic and commercial successes in Persia, but is seeking to exert still further influence on the upper classes by establishing schools in this land of promise. The first was opened last June at Kasvin, between Keseht and Teheran, and is already attended by twenty-seven pupils. In a country where so little altentioif is paid to education, this is quite a respectable number, and much satisfaction is felt at the result. Five of the scholars are Russians, four are Persians. seventeen are Armenians, and one is a Chaldean. All are described as being very industrious and anxious to learn. At the evening classes, which are attended also bv adults and largely by young Persians l.»e longing to the higher classes, instruction is given gratis in Russian and French. The Russian I lovernment intends to repeat this xporiment iu other Persian towns. 'there seems to be no end to the articles which are now imported into New Zealand which the industrial development of the next tew years will enable the Colony to manufacture for itself. Mr T. H. Hnst wich recently received for examination four samples of infusorial earth from different parts of the colony—from Dunedin. Auck land, Tarauaki and Oaniaru. It was in tended, if practicable, to use the earth in connection with a patent for cheap and effective lighting. A chemical examina tion showed that for all intents and pur poses the four samples were all pure in fusorial earth, nearly as good as the kieselglmr which is worked in Germany and elsewhere on the Continent for the manufacture of dynamite. The sample (from Dunedin was very pure, and that from Auckland was fair, but the other two showed only a small proportion of siliceous remains. The two latter also Contained a considerable quantity of carbonate ot lime, on account of which it was considered un -uitahli- for the purpose of an absorptive. Mr IlusUHc says the earth could bo ob tained in any quantity in Dunedin. .' i a live-bird pigeon match, held at EllersLe Mr Koseingrave, shoot lugfrom the tayds won the iHOu live-bird in ,t -h and gold modal, killing dl his birds.

She had passed thirty three mjles north of the King's, but saw no sign of the missing boat. The Capt promised to keep a look-out for the next hundred miles to east. The Countess of Kanfurly then zig-zaijed back to Auckland, having covered 1!»23 miles. The Capt. thinks the only hope ot the occupants of the boat is that they have been picked up by an eastward-bound vessel. AUCKLAND, This Day.. At the Elingamite enquiry, Burkett, the chief officer, stated that there were no pro vision* in the boat but there was water. He tried to get the compasses into the boat but they were washed away. He de scribed the launching of the various boats and the equipments. The last he saw of the missing boat the second officer was taking her round the bow. In the after noon he saw a boat, which must have been i-iiio boat, two or three miles ahead of him. He coniu not account for the breaker in the raft being empty-. but it might have boon cap sized when t e raft was launched.

SPECIAL SETTLEMENT FOE TROOPERS. WELLINGTON, Yesterday. With reference to correspondence which has passed between the Premier and Mr Witheford, M.H.K., it will be remembered that a deputation of returned troopers, in troduced by Mr Witheford, waited on the Government on the 20th September last, and urged that special facilities should be afforded them to obtain land. The matter was considered by the Government, who forthwith decided to set apart a special bkck of Crown land in the Auckland dis trict for that pnrpose. Since then some 8000 acres have been surveyed into 36 sec tions, ranging from 100 to 316 acres each, and the ballot for choice of selection can take place immediately the Commissioner of Crown Lands, Auckland, has ascertained what applicants are eligible. These sec tions are good limestone land, mostly open, with patches of mixed bush and some grass, and are well adapted for grazing and dairying purposes. With regard to settlement generally, and the unfulfilled demand which the Premier is so urgent in his endeavour to satisfy, theie are in the Auckland land district at the present time, according to the Land Guide, the following surveyed Crown lands open for selection on the optional system of the Land Act: 855 sections of an area of 370,000 acres. This area is divided into 2SI sections containing less than 50 acres.; 23!) sections be tween 50 and 100 acres each ; 87 sec tions between 101 and 150 acres; 63 sections between 151 and 200 acres ; 77 sections between 201 and 300 acres ; 51) sections betwe n 301 and 505* acres ; 5 • sections containing 500 acres and over. In the three other land districts of the North Island, Taranaki, Hawke's Bay, and Wellington, there are 150,000 acres of surveyed lands advertised in the Land Guide as open for selection and awaits ap plication on the same choice of tenure. Other lands are also under survey in this district for the purpose of settlement amounting to 240,000 acres, and blocks from these will be put on the market as soon as the survey is completed. In the other land districts of the North Island, viz., Taranaki, Hawke's Bay and Wellington, there are 150,0 0 acres of sur veyed lands advertised in the Land Guide, and open for selection. During the six months since the Ist of April last, the area proclaimed and opened for settlement in the North Island consisted of 236,584 acres.

An influential committee estisisting of .Messrs Wal.e. " -Cardie and Mason has been formed t . up n petition to the Minister of '.and- praying him to take the necessary steps to open up the Awaroa Coalfield, and n tubers of this committee have determine,l not to relax their efforts until they have accomplished their object. Tliia valuahl almine being properly de veloped, we shali soon become independent of the bungling arrangements of Die \. S. Company an I its out of date lint> of un certain steamers. Kawhia is within easier steam communi cation with Sydney than any other port in New Zealand,has the best and safest harbour on the West Coast of either island, has deep enough water at all tides to float most steamers visiting New Zealand waters and is in the most central position of the North Island. Once these facts become known, we shall soon have a regular steam ship service, low freight:; and direct rail way connection with Waikato which could thus be more cheaply supplied with goods from Kawhia than from any other source. The residents of Kawhia have everything to expect from the new Parliament, in the way of opening up, settling and developing this hitherto neglected district and we are pleased to see that a certain Northern mem ber.who.jealoua of our advantageous geogra phical position nnd increasing prosperity, endeavourd to baulk our progress, has paid the penalty due to all such narrow-minded localists, and has been at the recent, elec tion consigned to political oblivion, in which, it is to bo hoped, snch as he will end their days, and give place to men of broad er views and a wider colonial policy. It is generally understood that the new Cabinet, when re-constructed so as to more fully represent both islands, will become more fully alive to the importance of settl ing the King Country: and to thoroughly accomplish this much desired object of not only local but colonial moment, intends to appoint to the Upper House some Waikato farmer whose past experience will eminent ly fit him to advise and assist the Govern ment in doing justice to the King Country and the North Island generally. It is much to be regretted that some de lay on the part cf the builders has pre vented the launching of Messrs Wake and C'o.'s steam launch as intended at the end of the month, for two flax-mills and a saw mill are waiting to open and begin work at Marakopa as soon as the S.L. Mahuta is able to convey the necessary machinery to that district. The flax-millers at Aotea are also anxiously awaiting the arrival of the S.L. Mahutu to bring their hemp to Kawhia to be shipped to Onehunga. May every success attend the new sttam launch, and every credit is due to her enterprising owners, who have thus added to the re sources of this district. The Marakopa bids fair to become quite an important locality, its fanning, flax milling and saw-millinc industries begin ning to assume a prominent position in the trade and commerce of the harbour. Messrs Symona and Co. hope to have their new launch at work in the harbour about the end of next week. This launch will run principally between Kawhia and Oparau, so that our mail will, in future, arrive regularly about 4 p.m., and will afford ample time for sorting and distributing before closing time, and will be a great convenience to all con corned. It will also prove a great boon to businessmen and the residents generally, if the mail, instead of closing at 6 p.m. in the evening, could be kept open until 10 p.m. or even a supplementary mail made up at 6 a.m. in tho morning before the mail leaves ;but asatri-weekly mail is soon to be established between Kawhia and Te Awa mutu, no doubt these inconvenient arrange ments will be remedied at the same time. Mr Turnball, our local baker, hopes to have his new bakehouse and shop finished very soon, after whicli he will be prepared to cater for dances, entertainments and picnics. The natives are becoming somewhat ex cited over the ensuing Maori election which takes place in the Public School on the 22nd, but according to the best authorities the result is pretty well a foregone conclusion.

BUTTER AND CHEESE. ESTIMATED SUPPLY FROM CANADA. The first four months of the Cana dian Dairy Produce season, 1902, have passed, and the receipts of hut ter and cheese for .May to August in each of the past three years are as follows : Year Butter 0:10050 Tons Tons 10CO ... 4,218 43,273 I'.XH ... 4,036 30.73 H 1002 ... 6,359 38,306 Thus both butter and cheese re ceipts are heavier than last year to date. Let us now turn to the quanti ties of lmtter and cheese to come for ward. Assuming that it takes 25 tons of milk to make imp ton of cheese, then the quantities of milk which came forward as butter or cheese for each of the last three years ended 30th April are as follows : Year. Milk as Butter. Milk as Cheese. Total Tons Tons Tons 1900 306,700 680,710 987,410 1901 171,700 755,940 937,640 1902 287,625 757,630 1,045,255 This year for the four months ended August 31st the quantities are as follow :—Milk as butter, 158,975 tons; milk as cheese, 283,060 tons. To be equal to last year there is, therefore, 126,650 tons of milk as butter and 47-1,570 tons of milk as cheese to arrive. This year, bow ever, the crops of grass and im proved pastures should enable Canada to produce about 10 per cent, more milk than last year. Consequently there ought to be 157,410 tons of milk as butter, and 450,330 tons of milk as cheese to arrive, which means over 6,000 tons of butter and 45,000 tons of cheese. In other words, only half the butter and cheese to come from Canada has as yet been re ceived. WELLINGTON WOOL SALES Our readers will be interested in the following report from the. Even ing Tost of November the 27th : The first wool sale of the new season was held to-day at the Art Gallery. The following brokers were selling :—Levin and Co., Limited, 400 bales; New Zealand Loan and Mercantile Agency Company, Limited .300 bales ; Murray, Roberts and Co. 200 bales ; United Farmers' Co operative Association, Limited, 100 bales ; Wairarapa Farmers' Co-opera tive Association, Limited, 25 bales. There was good competition, and the advance recorded in our cables to-day from London was fully reflected here, and most lots were sold at Ltd ad vance on what was obtainable this time last year, Messrs Levin and Co., Limited, re port : —The first wool sale of the new season was held at the Art Gallery to-day, the various brokers offering 1000 bales. There was a fair attendance of buyers. The sale was held under the frvourable influence of the news from Lon don regarding the opening of the November sales there, and all lots were well competed for at enhanced prices. There was an all-round ad vance on the prices current this time last year of 1 .id per pound, and it was cheering to see the coarse wools, which comprise so large a proportion of Wellington catalogues, participate to the fullest extent in the advance. The following table will show the movement of prices as compared with the sale in November, 1901 : Last year's Prices. To-day's Sup. fine crossbreda ... 33 to 4 5 to 5J Med. crossbred and Kora. :i to :H 4J to 5 Coarse crossb'd Lino las 2' to :ij ,'! to L| Log-stained and superior 2 to 2 J :i to 4 Pieces and bellies. ... Hto 22 to:! Locks Ito 1 1 to 2 There were no fine wools cata logued last year, but parcels in to-day's sale brought 9]d for merino and 6.', dto 7d for half-breds. One word of warning to growers : It is not desirable in their intererts that there should be witnessed a repetition of the events of two years ago, when, after a sharp advance in prices at the'earlv sale, growers piled their clips upon the local market with all sorts of absurd reserves, the result being that lot after lot was passed in, and the wool was eventually sold in London at considerable loss. Buyers take umbrage at the waste of time occasioned in Wellington in valuing wools which growers have placed ex cessive reserves on, and we would counsel growers not to send their wools in to auction hampered with re serves. A grower who would yester day have taken 3.', d readily for his wool should not. because of this rise, raise his reserves to sd, The drag of high reserves takes all the life out of the sales to the ultimate injury of the vendor. Our wools were all shown for the first time in our new stores, Cus tom-house quay, which are now nearing completion, and proved very convenient. The next sale will be held on 19th December. The United Farmers' Co-operative Association, Ltd. and the Wairarapa Farmers' Co-operative Association, Ltd., report as follows :—There wa» a fair attendance of buyers. The com bined catalogues offered by brokers amounted to about 1000 bales. There was a keen competition, and most of the wool catalogued was sold. We quote as follows : Fine crossbred 5-Jd per lb, medium 44d to sd, coarse and logstained 3,', dto Lid, pieces 2d to 2.] d, locks Id to 2d. The next sale will be held on 19th Decem ber.

The best never leaves China, the second best is nearly all sent to Russia, the third, fourth, fifth and other descend ing grades come to Australia. Happily the imports of China Tea are lessening steadily, and cor respondingly those of Ceylon are going up. Ceylon tea is grown in a British Colony and Ceylon is the picked spot of earth for tea grow ing. All Ceylon tea is good; the best is exquisite, and no other tea grown in any other part of the world can in any way compare with it.

COMMERCIAL. LONDON WOOL SALES. LONDON, December 2. Wool was firm at yesta-runy's sale and the highest rates of tho present series were realised. AUCKLAND Wool, SALES The first series of the Auckland wool sales for this season c unnieuced yesterday when prices realised were from a penny t 1 twopence per pound better than last year This was the case more especially in coarse wool, the prices of which, it will be re membered, were nt a very low ebb at the last series. This increase in prices is :,n a par with values ruling at recent Sou thern sales, and in sympathy with the bet" ter prices obtainable at the last London sale. The Louden prices affect this market to a much greater extent than they do most markets, owing to the increased prices be ing gh en for crossbred wools, which com prised practically Ihe whole of the local eaialogue. Merino wool did not show mueli advance in London, and, perhaps, tort nuately for local sellers, there was none of that grade forward, in fact, it is not grown in the province. There were Mod bales catalogued as against 3101 last year, due no doubt to the backward season and the shipping direct to London by many growers. Owing to the l umber of sellers placing too high a reserve on their lots, many of the later lines were passed in. although buyers were anxious to do business. The M owing are the principal prices ob ained: Messrs Alfred Auckland and Sons' catalogue : Reid Bros., Motutapu, -1 bales line' crossbred, 7Jd; 2 bales fine cross brad, 64d: 3 bales half-bred, (i:|d; 1 bale half-bred (Kahukuri;, ojd : 2 bales longwool, s^d: o bales Shropshire, o.'d: 21 bales longwool ewe, o]d.

Ladies in search of summer costumes of the latest fashions are always certain of suiting their tastes at Messrs Milne and C'hoyee. of Auckland.

The town of ('anowindra, New South W ales, looked as if it had been bombarded after the recent cyclone passed over it.

The Premier left Wellington by the s.s. 'i utanekai 1 n Monday for Nelson.

Teaching the girls how to vote: "In view of the fact that the franchise has been conferred on women in the Commonwealth, and will probably soon be bestowed ou them in the different States, political econonv is uuw taught." says the report of the -vielbourne I'reoljyteiiau Ladies' College Council.

A leading settler from Forty-mile Beach informs a local paper that he has never known such a backward season. The crops are-not doing at ail well, and the grass, owing to fre-jU ;iit rains, is not nutritious enough to enable the cows to produce really good milk' The settler in question also states that on his own farm he has had to plough four times before ho could get some of his seed in. At a meeting of the commiitee of the Hamilton Bowling Club held last evening, it was docided to ascertain the price of a heavy water roller and also to take im nied-iite stops to improve the g eon. Several new members were elected. The Hon. S,-c„ Mr Bond, will be glad if members forward their subscriptions early, as funds are required to cany out the im provement s suggested. In another column the Returning Officer for this district, Mr J. S. Bond, published the official return of the Loc il < iption Poll. For the purposes of comparison we give the returns for the previous election in 1 599 : Continuance IMV.i, 1'707 ; 1902, 2'io(i. Reduction—l*99, 12-H: 1902, Bi*7. No License—lSO:', 1115; 1902, L>7. It will be seen that there were 231 votes less recorded for : ontinuance this year, and 112 votes more for No License; making a nett gain, since 18.19, of ;i7:S votes thoughout the electorate towards No L cense: a re-ult that is. we understand, satisfactory to the temperance party. In Auckland tho production of ostrich feathers bids fair to become an important industry. One firm that has been breeding ostriches has found its aCcommodition too small, and has purchased property to the extent of ;>>oo acres, to which it has trans ferred its s'.ock. It is proposed to largely increase the ostrich flock, and the prospects of the industry may be gauged by the fact that the present supp y of feathers is equal to only about one-third of the Auckland demand, to say nothing to the Southern market. A few months ago reference was made to the import into Brisbane of sugarcane tops for the local dairy cattle, and it may be said that of late this has given way to the prickly pear, the waste lands surrounding the city being systematic illy raided for the cactus. The water hyacinth, which, like another Balaam, came to curse, has stayed t > bless, experience having proved it to be very fair feed for dairy cattle. Along the coastal creeks certain species of mangroves are being extensively used tor fodder, Ihe foliage being greedily eaten by cattle, though horses won't touch it. One drawback incidental to the prac tice of medicine by women is (says the Medical Press), " the unconscionable time they require to respond to a night call, A man jumps iuto his dressmg-gi wn and trips lightly down the stairs, twisting his moustache into shape as he goes. The Woman doctor, on the other hand, has to go through numerous solemn rites be fore she dare show herself in public, and it may well happen that the time cen ts l'ned in this femiuely-regnrded indis pensable preparation appears to the suf ferer and his friends to b> unduly long. If women are to hold their own in medi cine they will have to discover a means of obviating this and sundry other draw backs incidental to their sex." CH \NG L oF A\ ATER often brings on diarrhoea. For this reason many ex perienced travellers carry a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy with them to be used in case of an emergency. This preparation has no equal as a cure for bowel complaints. It cannot be obtained while on board the cars or steamship, and that is where it is most likely to be needed.

Says the Johannesburg corre-ponde l l. f the Times :—The hard fact must I e fa -ed that we are going to have a long strug'do lo make S, nth Africa British in heart °as well as in name. The lesson is being taught every day, so why should it bo ig nored : The prosperity of tho c.untry will prove a powerful lev. r in our hands and iuii<t form the koyu .to of our policy. It' future generations can say "until the British ivgim • we did not ku >w what pros perity meant," the integrity of the Empire will never seriously be threatened." The Johannesburg correspondent of the Cologne Gazette, one of the most influen tial papers in G finally, remarks that th 3 idea that the Boers will in a few years again take up arms is a mistak 11 one. " T am firmly convinced," h says, " that this race will not fight unless driven to desperation. English schools can only do the Boers good, since they will there learn to enlarge their views and ideas. England holds the d stiny of So th Africa and the Br tish power in that country in her own hands : even thing depends on her treatment of the B ers.'" Pastoralists' Rjvie-v notes:—The pas toral outlook is a month worse than it was at the time of our last issue. In parts of New South Wales, notably the Liverpool Plains and in the agricultural areas of South Australia, there have, indeed, been light rain-, but few and far between are the places where it can be said that the position has distinctly improved since August, while the great majority are hang ing ou, growing more aud more desperate. This is particularly the case in Queensland (though there have been light rains on the Darling Downs and southern parts', which has got no relief at all, and where the available change of country for starving stock is exhausted. We never remember through all these drought-stricken years so heavy a gloom settled over the pastoral interest of Australia. The Typographical Union and the Rail way Union at Charlotte, North Carolina in the United States, are taking little children out of tho factories and putting them at school at their own (the unions) expense. This policy (says a contemporary) cannot abolish child-labour in the factories any more than tne old humane policy of buying the freedom of individual slaves could have abolished slavery, but the new policy like tho old—by reason of its con crete helpfulness will stir the heart of the nation more than scores .of resolutions against tiie false system, and when the public heart is fairly stirred the false sys tem will go. 1 he Belfast Magistrates once announced that they would inflict a fine of f,,rty shil lings on any person expressing in public too warm a regard for the future state of any political antagonist. A policeman sub sequently came upon an Ornngeman lying in dignified ease 111 the gutter and mutter ing " lo , To —Apparently he could got no further than the name of the destination to which be desired to consign somebody or Something, so the constable with "a care" in view, endeavoured to help him out.

Rising into a sitting posture, the Orange man gazed upon tin' ofli.-er. *' Finish it yourself,' he said, '■ it's too expensive for in'." in the opinion of Mr Kowin, colonial representative of sever*il lo.rtre houses in London which handle New Zealand dairy produce, it is almost certain that cheese will realise the record price of HOs per cwt in London this season. There is likely to be a shortage owing to the fact that some countries which exported cheese largely last year are now paying more attention to the production of butter. Tlr> Go vernment Dairy Commissioner believes that those factories in New Zealand which are shipping their butter on consignment this season would have been wise to have accepted the offer of Bid per lb made by the agents of English houses, as there are indications that the article will be in large supply at Home shortly. Big stocks of Russian and Canadian butter are in cold store and the output of the factories in those countries will be considerably greater than that of last year. The western breakwater of the Mac quarrie (TaO harbour works which Mr C. Napier Bell is carrying out has been com pleted. Macqiiarrie Harbour is a grand sheet- of water, 120 square miles in extent, with'deep water all over it. It has, how ever, a bar at the entrance, aud two miles of sin a! water just inside the bar. Mi- Bell s works will increase the depth on the bar to 2ott. at low water. They consist of a western breakwater 3800 ft long just com pleted, an eastern one 7000 ft long, and a training wall, a mile and three-quarters long, inside, to deal with tde shoal water inside. The breakwaters are being built at a total cost (including all plant) of £lO l"s a foot. The completion of the design for these works is at present delayed on financial considerations, but wheu com pleted, and the full depth of water attained Macquarie Harbour will be one of the finest in the colonies, as inside the shoals at the entrance it is 27 inile3 long, from five to seven miles wide, and from 60ft to 100 ft deep all over it. The railway lines from Zehan and Mount Lyell have their ter minus at Strahan. Mineral deposits of silver, copper, tin, and load are very nnme rous over a wide area, which lias Macquarie Harbour for its outlet. TEN BOLD ASSERTIONS.

Thomson and Mandeno £:W 10s Id. HUNTLY I'Rom a Corespondent The Committee'of the Huntly and Kitni hia Co-operative Butchery Society met on Thursday night when a statement of accounts was presented. The turnover for the first fortnight was £24 and has steadily increased till the last fortnight when it was £ll lis. The margin of profit was so small that there was a loss of £1- 12s on the business of the first fortnight. £3 10s on the second and =£l 9s on the third, but on the feurth and fifth fortnights this loss was made good except 13s, and the value of the stock if anything underestimated. The total sales being £197 16s ojd and accounts due and paid away £l9B 10s 2Jd. This result was received by the com mittee with great satisfaction showing that the society is now making a very fair profit, notwithstanding the fact that they have been paying three pence per pound for both beef and mutton by the carcase at Hamilton Railway Station, freight having to be added to this. The slaughter-house has been altered, and all necessary improvements made to comply with the Act. It was inspected by Mr Ross, the Inspector, a fortnight ago, that gentleman remarking that it was the most up to-date little slaughter-house in the district. The license has just been granted and the first lot of cattle ha 3 arrived from Mr Hunter. Sheep and lambs have been procured locally. All meat will for the future be slaughtered by the Society, so there is every reason to look forward to a very substantial profit in the future.

MONTGOMERY'S ENTERTAINERS. ♦ Montgomery's Entertainers will apear at the \ olunteer Hall, Hamilton, to-morrow The public can rely on seeing everything new at Montgomery's show,and the programme always embraces the cham pion acts of the world and the greatest wonders of the age. The world-renowned Lukcns, the greatest para lied bar per formers on earth, are among the latest sensations, and their act is one which holds the spectators spell-bound, so marvellous and so perilous are their performances. Little Tick, in his big boot dance, is the funniest act ever witnessed. The famous Willie Bros., the champion head balancers of the world, in their great act, are simply beyond compare. Another big attraction is the famous leaping greyhounds, leaping over baskets loft high. This act is the latest London sensation, and has been a huge " driw " in that large metropolis. ANNIVERSARY GATHERING. * The anniversary of Trinity Presbyterian Church, Cambridge, was celebrated by a tea and social gathering in the Oddfellows' tfa'l last evening. A large number sat down to the well-filled tables, presided over by Mesdames Dean, Scott, Langmuir, Ferguson, Howard, Bruce, Jardine, McFar lane, Walks, Baihty, Scott, Sharp and Lake. The catering was done by Mr Chas. Boyce, in excellent style. The tea was followed by an after meeting, at which the pastor (Rev. .Jno. Envin) presided. On the plat form were the Yen. Archdeacon Willis, the Rev. S. Entrican (Te Awamutu), and Mr Adams (Hamilton). Archdeacon Willis mentioned that the great value of such gatherings was the social element, while Mr Adams spoke of the pleasure it afforded him to join in the rejoicings of the Presbyterian body of Cambridge, and conveyed the hearty good wishes of the Hamilton portion of the church. The chairman gave several anecdotes at inter vals. The Cambridge Orchestral Society (under the conductorship of Mr J. H. Ed wards) played a couple of selections in a manner that was much appreciated. Mr Erwin took the opportunity of mentioning the kindness of the coaductor for his valu able assistance ou numerous occasions. Ihe chief contributors to the musical portion of the programme were two Auckland visitors —Miss B. Butler and Mr W. Aspinall ; both of whom delighted the audience by their fine singing. JJiss Butler was responsible for two ' solo?, " Why Must We Say Good-bye," and "All in the Hush of Twilight." Her expressive rendition of the latter solo quite established her as a favourite singer, and she may rest assured of always finding an appreciated audience at Cambridge. She was also heard to advantage in a duet with Mr Aspinall in " Life's Dream is O'er," and I know a Bank." Mr Aspinall's voice has acquired more richness since he last sung here, and he commanded the sym pathetic attention of his hearers right throughout the progress of his numbers— " Doreen," and " Fiona," for the first of which he was loudly encored, responding with the ballad " Mary." Local amateurs might with advantage take a leaf out of the visiting vocalists book as regards enunciation, for it was a real pleasure to hear each word ring out distinct and clear. Miss Peterson (Cambridge) has probably never been heard to better advantage than she was last night, her pretty voice being eminently suited for an acceptable rendi°- tion of " The River Dart." Besides a round of applause, she was also the recipient of a pretty bouquet. The Rev. Mr and Miss Entrican contributed a duet, "He Wipes the Tear from Every Eye," and Mr E. Bouillon a solo entitled "The Coming of the King." Herr Engel played a couple of violin solos in his usual masterly manner The gathering concluded by the sinking of the National Anthem, ° SNOW IN AMERICA Latest Cablegrams PEK UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATION— COPYRIGHT/ NEW YORK, Dec. i\ A foot of snow has fallen in New •Terse v.

(Received Dec. 3, 1.8 a.m. SYDNEY, December 2. One of the greatest political demons trations witnessed in Sydney was held to-night on the occasion of Sir George Reid's reply to Sir Edmund Barton's speeches. An immense audience in the Town Hall accorded the leader of the Opposition an enthusiastic wel come. He condemned the action of the Government over the fodder duties and said the only State that would have a small surplus on the wheat harvest was South Australia. In order that this state should have the benefit of protection the rest of the Commonwealth would have to bear the burden which involved the importation of twelve and a half million bushels. The hasty manner in which the Postal and Defence Departments had been taken over had resulted in a state of chaos. The Old Age Pensions were outside practicable Federal, politics. The tariff yielded 9]d millions at this time of universal distress as against the 8 millions the Premier had predicted. Referring to the Imperial Conference Sir G. Reid said preferential treat ment with England might well be granted by protectionists out of shame's sake, but freetraders would have none of it. If it wer e to be Australian, it would have to be under Australian control. THE WAIKATO TIMES, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 3 1902- TO TALL* Miss MISS EN, KNOX STREET, HAMILTON.

CURIOUS EFFECTS OF LYDDITE Dr. lohann I'einceke, who acted as field-surgeon to tlit' liners during the war, recently had the decree of |)or tnr of Medi cine conferred upon liiin by the i>t*rlin I niversitv. Jle chose as the subject for his doctors s disser tation (says the Standard's correspon dent) -'Some Critical Notes on the Treatment of Sick and AVoiyided." Dr. Kcinecke says that during the. war conservative surgerv stood the test of practice better than all else, and continued : '• If 1 were asked to lay down a guiding rule for voting field surgeons operating in a war, 1 should answer: " A rational procedure founded on JVofessor Bergmanns doctrine, that wounds inflicted bv small metal projectiles are not to be considered as infected, but as lesions pure and simple. The surgeon ought therefore to suppress his scientific curiosity, and not touch the wound with the probe or with his hands, but clean it with spirit and applv an aseptic bandage. The medical suc cesses achieved during the war have placed beyond doubt that the first bandaging is of decisive im portance, especially in cases of grave injuries to the head, abdomen, joints, and bones. Tor this conservative method of surgical treatment the Boers were just the proper material. They bore even serious injuries with stoical calm. One Johannesburg commander who, in the battle of Pieter's Hill on Feb ruary '27, 1900, had been shot through the left lung above the heart, and also through the right upper arm, was taken to a neighbouring hos pital soon after he was wounded. The following night the Boers retired and next morning an English patrol came, and its otiieer took down the names of the wounded Boers to order their transport to Ladysmith. This, however, was not to the liking of the •Johannesburg commander. He got up at night, inspanned a waggon with four mules, and placed a young field cornet, who was covered with wounds, on the cart. The commander had to drive the waggon and to hold the whip himself. After a week's travel ing. during which time they were obliged to make a long detour to evade another English patrol, they arrived at the field hospital on Van Beenen's Pass. 'The strain of the jou.-ney had apparently not done them any special harm, as owing to the ex cellence of the first bandaging, the process of healing had gone on. THE POULTRY INDUSTRY. There are, says Mr Hyde, Govern ment Poultry Expert, in his pamph let, many who think that the market will soon be overstocked with poultry and eggs. Such has, however, al ways been the cry. Over-stocking the market would not be an easy matter. Let it be remembered that New Zealand is only one of inanv markets that are open for the sale of poultry and eggs, to say nothing of the increased demand which is always occasioned by an unlimited supply. In fact, the poultry market cannot be overstocked ; the greater the num ber of eggs sent to market, the larger the number of purchasers. Despite the increase in numbers of those who are engaged in raising poultry, the supply falls a long way short of the requirements. There is practically an unlimited demand for poultry for the London and South African markets. Until further notice the charge for shipping frozen poultry will be Is (3d per cubic foot, so that fowls and ducks can be landed in England and South Africa at G.ld per head, inclusive of all charges for services rendered by the Department and the ship. The Department of Agriculture is having cases made to hold fifteen birds, and twenty-five of these cases will measure a ton. Mr Hyde is surprised that poultry breeders do not take some action in in the matter of selling poultry and eggs by weight, which, he savs, would quickly revolutionise and improve the class and quality of hens kept. At the present time the consumer pays as much for eggs that weigh twelve to the pound as for those that weigh eight to the pound. The same con ditions apjdy to poultry. One pro ducer is practically paid the same price for a bird that weighs Gib as another is for one weighing 31b. Not so the consumer; he lias to pay for size, and the middleman reaps the profit. But old customs die hard, and this one is no exception. A change for the better is, however, coining for the producer, and the ex port trade will be largely responsible for it.

The best uever leaves China, the second best is nearly all sent to Russia, the third, fourth, fifth and other descend | ing grades come to Australia. ! Happily the imports of China Tea are lessening steadily, and cor i respondingly those of Ceylon are going up. Ceyion tea is grown in | a P"t'sh Colony and Ceylon is the picked spot of earth for tea grow | ing. All Ceylon tea is good ; tae is exquisite, and no other ted grown in any other part of tho world cau in any way compare with ; it. Ihe best Cordon tea is the famous ••us-/ which is picked on the mountain heights of the Island, packed in lead on the spot where it is grown, and sent down to Australia to the agents of the Nirvana Co., fresh by every mail. Nirvana Tea is put up in pounds and half pounds and every pack age bears the name and trade mark of the company as a guarantee that it is all we claim of it. | Obtainable from - W Escott, Cambridge ; W.

COMMERCIAL. AGENT-UEXERAI/S CABLE WELLINGT* >\, Yesterday. The Department of Industries and Com merce has received the following cable from the Agent General:—" .Nominally all brands of New Zealand mutton are of equal value, viz. 4id. The market is firm, but the demand is only moderate. Higher prices are at present obtained in store than in Smithtield market, and are greatly af fected by reports of small shipments. ' The general impression is that New Zealand is unable to furnish supplies sufficient to es tablish trade for some time. "The lamb market is slightly weaker, with less demand. The beef market is quiet, and little business is doinir, but a good feeling prevails. The Paparoa's but ter arrived in good condition. The mar ket is steady, with moderate demands. The price of butter to-day is 112s to 1 Ms. The hemp market is dull. The price of New Zealand hemp, good fair \\ ellington grade i>n spot to-day is J.'32 per ton. The price of January and .March shipments of go "1 fair Wellington grade is £i~ 10s. Manila hemp, on spot to-day, fair current grade sold at £3S. The wool market is alive, at higher prices.

Kuril are the i idings wliicii will gladden the heart of many ;i New Zealand tanner who, during the past 1 wo vein's of lean, lias anxious ly waited for the promised years of fat. In order to realise the extent to which the Colony is ail'eeted by a riseor fall in the price of this commodity, il may lie worth while to quote the figures given as the export for the past seven years. In 1 b*J(> the total export was Auckland contributed ;"i,i)33,03[1bs : 1807, total I'iTjTGCSlollis (Auckland y,B7o,G'J7lhs): IBi>B, NB,l7!J,loßlbs (Auckland 7,o2o,'JUGlb.s) ; 1900 I i:!.32B,L'ollbs (Auckland li.B-.'7,'.rjJ lbs) 1901, 1:.56.710,:j1l lbs (Auckland <i,i:;l.(i7l): 191)2, 1 !:>,:_'bi> I,s lbs (Auckland 0,8.">9.8091b5). From these reiurns il. will be scon that every advance of Id per lb means a gain to the wool-growers of close on six hun dred thousand pounds. Fortunately the present rise gives every promise of being the precursor of a hardened demand, and as the present season's clip will be on the market shortly, our slieepraisers should have cause for congratulation, One of the causes of this hardening tendency is the misfortune which has befuliea our neighbours, across the Taxman Son. Their ouijml of merino hits been imicli decreased of htlc yours mid as iiiiinufact uTers have now to turn their attnntion to the marser sorts, the natural result has come about. Even while rejoicing mrr our own improved prospects, we must not forget our less fortunate kinsmen, and every New Zealander will join in the hope that ere long the drought - stricken Australian States may be visited with the ruin they have so long prayed for.

Five tons of green peas were shipped from Nelson to Wellington on YYedneedav last. Glasgow Corporation decided recently to apply for power.- to borrow£7so,ooo for die erection of houses for the poor. Last month about sixty men and women who were in a bath in Paris when a fire was discovered, rushed nude into the streets to the intense astonishment of passers-by, to whom the flames from the burning building were not visible. Speaking at the Church Congress at Northampton last month, Canon Henson declared that one of the first steps to Christian union was a recognition of the non-Episcopal Churches as Churches. His declaration was met with cries of dissent from those present. Preparations an.'being made iu Tasmania far the export of rabbits, but the idea of turning the pest into a marketable commo dity does not meet with approval on every side, as it is thought an encouragement will be afforded for harbouring the vermin. Capital also is being put into new freezing works. Berlin and Yienna newspapers assert that an American Spiritualist named Phil lips has remarkable influence over the Czar, who takes no important decision, even in family life, without consultation and Phil lips' psychic treatment. The report has exercised an unfavourable effect on the Czarina. The thirty-one Swiss ( including one single and two- married women), who ar rived in Wellington recently by the YYar rimoo, have since gone on to Inglewood, Taranaki. Most of them have knowledge of farm work, and the remainder are trades men who propose to continue working in their respective trades. The members of a party of twenty-one Swiss, who arrived in New Zealand two months ago, and went to Taranaki, at once secured work there. A paper in the British Medical Journal gives results of an enquiry into the dis semination of enteric infection. The enteric bacillus, it has been discovered, can survive in ordinary soil, occasionally mois tened with rain, for 67 days ; while in soil so dry as to be readily blown about it sur vives for 25 days, it lias been shown that clothing deliberately fouled with enteric material is capable of giving off infection after three mouths drying and exposure to light and air. Prior to hearing a will case at the Su preme Court at Brisbane, Air Justice Real, who has heard many will cases since his elevation to the Bench, said-. "If I had my way I would not allow any man to make a will after he arrives at a certain age I have had a good deal of experience of old people. I haver found that when they arrive at a certain age they become so much under the domination' of people around them that their life is not worth living unless they do what they are wished." " I'ater '' writes the Times with reference to the pay of Army officers:—"The pay of my son. a recently commissioned second lieutenant, is at the rate of 5s 3d a day. He expects to go to India in a Government transport, and he will be* called upon to pay a 'messing charge thereon at the rate of Gs fid a day, which sum does not- include beer, lemonade or other drinks. Could anything more clearly show that the Army, as at present paid, is noplace for a young man without private means - ' The Stirling correspondent of the Clutha Leader wrote the other day that mostly everything in the district is in a very back ward state owing to the cold, bleak weather. There is no grass yet of any con sequence, and the crops are scarcely show ing through the ground, not to say any thing about what has been drowned out altogether. The fanners are finding a difficulty iu getting the soil prepared for turnips ; there, are very few who have any sown yet. Taking everything all round, we are fully a mouth later that what we were this time last year. Mr Deakin, the Federal Attorney- General, in a recent speech, reviewed the effect of the Aliens Immigration Restric tion Act during tho term it had been iu operation. In that period 30,000 people had come to Australia, and of that number 2300 were Coloured aliens. These latter were Composed chiefly of three classes— lOoO Chinese, s?D Kanakas, and 350 Japanese. In the period during which these people arrived, 1170 Kanakas left the Commonwealth, and there were actually 300 less of that class now than there were at the bee-inning of the year. There has been a steady exodus of Chinese and Japanese, and the net result of the opera tion of the Act had been that 200 more of these aliens had left the country than had come into it. A poorly-dressed woman sat alone in a railway station. Attention was called to her by a man, who exclaimed—" Here's a poor woman who has no ticket for her journey. I'll give ten cents for her. Who'll help ? " Presently he had a hatful of coin, and announced, " She has more than her fare, but not enough for a shawl. She needs a shawl ; I'll give a quarter for that. Again he made the round and again an nounced— " She ought to have a bon net.' As he was making the round the third time a man entered the station, shook hands heartily with the woman, and. fuming to the philanthropist, said," Why Hiram. I'm glad to see you Bud your wife again ' " According to a recent consular report, Dr. Kkeiiberg. of Cutlumburg, has worked out a method of reducing milk to the form of powder, which will be of far-reaching importance to the business of dairy farm ing. The apparatus by which this result is brought about is not described, but it is said that the product possesses all the qualities of milk in concentrated forAi, ex cept that moisture is absent, and that it will not get sour or ferment. The milk than- is completely soluble in water, and can easily be transport :d in tins, barrels, or bags. The cost of production is stated to be about one halfpenny pier gallon ; and as the flour i an be made from skimmed milk, which is often wasted, it oue-ht to lo pos sible to put it upoli the market at a very moderate price. At a meeting of the Aca demy of Agriculture a sample of the desic cated milk was shown by Dr. Pkenberg. ami elicited favourable opinions. It Ts stated that it- is superior to certain casein products, manufactured by the aid of chemicals, which have already appeared. CHANGE OF WATER often brings on diarrhoea. Tor this reason many ex perienced travellers carry a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea h'emedy with them to be used in case of an emergency. This preparation has no eijual as a cure for bowel complaints. It cannot be obtained while on board the cars or steamship, and that is where it is most likely to be needed.

Owing to the tremendous influx of Americans into the Canadian North-West, the sales of Canadian-Pacific Railway Com pany's lands have of late increased greatly. The total sales in September were 145,535 acres, compared with 60,060 acres in Sep tember last year. The total sales since Ist January have increased to the extent of =C7l2,^uu. The following letter was sent by Mr AY. W. McCardle, of Kawhia, to the Premier: —" I have been requested, as chairman ot Mr Oreenslade's committee, to assure you that they will on every occasion esteem it an honour to work and support you in your great work in the interests of the people. The return of your Government again in such strength is well deserved, and good news to us." Mr Salmon, who has every reason to be lieve that his health will suffer should he continue to play the cornet, has resigned as bandmaster of the Hamilton Brass Band. Air Salmon has been a conscientious worker on behalf of the band, and the excellence of the music produced was no doubt due in great measure to his able conductorship. Mr Mettam has been appointed to the vacancy, and there is no reason to doubt that lie will uphold the reputation that the band holds. Mr Cow, the New Zealand Trade Repre sentative, has arrived at Adelaide. He says there is a good opening for New Zea land produce in South Africa. Owing, however, to the protection afforded the South Africa Co., outsiders are practically debarred from establishing cold storage depots. At the same time he considers that there arc ample depots already at the various ports. New Zealand butter and cheese are making great strides in Eng land. Tho political contest was uppermost in the. mind of a Parliamentary candidate in Canterbury whose wife presented him with a son at l.liO a.m. on Election Day. IJi.s thoughts were running on votes and voters, and when the doctor informed him that a son had been born to him, his first words were:" It's a great pity that he won't be able to vote for twenty-one years." The candidate does not need his son's assistance just now, as he is among the successful ones. St. PeleVs Church, Hamilton, was well filled yesterday morning on the occasion of the marriage of Mr K. ,1. Gwynne, to Miss J. L. Ivlgeeuuibe, second daughter of Mr G. Kdgocunibe. The ceremony was conducted by Yen. Archdeacon Calder, as sisted by the i.'evd. 1). C. Bates, he ser vice was full choral, Miss Newell presiding at tho organ. The bridesmaids were Misses K. andM. Ivlgecumbe (sisters of the bride) and Miss Mabel Gwynne (daughter of the bridegroom). Mr M If. Quick acted as best man. The bride was charmingly at tired in figured ivory satin with trans parent yoke of silk maltese lace, trailed skirt, coronet of orange blossoms, and tulle veil, and carried a lovely shower bouquet. A large party of friends were afterwards entertained at the resi dence of the bride's father, when the health of the happy couple was drunk in bumpers. A portion of the honeymoon will be spent at Okoroire, whither tho newly-wedded pair went by the express. Mr Seddou. in speaking of the result of the election to a Post reporter, said ho was surprised that Air Remington (Rangitikei), in the face of there be : ng four Government supporters standing, should have won the scat. He was surprised at Mr Kirk bride defeating Sir Maurice O'Rorke. There was no doubt there was Prohibition in that. He was surprised at the Government can didate in Waikato, one of the strongholds of the Opposition, coming within 230 of his opponent. He was also surprised at Mr Major defeating Mr McGuire for Hawera, and at Mr Syines defeating Mr Haselden by so larga a majority ; and at Mr Stevens being beaten by Mr Yile for Manawatu. He was surprised at the defeat of Mr Collins and Mr G. \Y. Russell, but wa3 not surprised at Air Bedford's return, as Air Bedford had the combined Opposition, Prohibition and Nonconformist vote. A meeting of those interested in the formation of a Lawn Tennis Club was held in the Cambridge AYest Public Hall on Tuesday evening. There was a good at tendance, and Mr Geo. Bailey, junr., was voted to the chair. Having fully explain ed the object of the meeting, the Chairman stated that the Cambridge West Domain Board had promised to lay down two courts in the Recreation ground, and that levels had already been taken, in order to make an early start with the work.

A couple, of years a.go I crossed the Alps cm a motor bicycle, and no one has, as far as 1 know, done so since. I then main tained that the motor bicycle was the coming vehicle. Of course, I was univer- laughed at. To-day, everywhere, this is admitted. The other day "a two horse motor bicycle made the run from Paris to Yienna in only 10 hours more than the fastest, a 70-horso power, car, and out run out to Nice was done in remarkably good time—far better than made by the average car. So far as I remember, there was not a day without a storm. A racing car could easily have beaten us,-but wo had not the slightest trouble in passing the two or three touring carriages we saw: while, as for oidinary bicyles, considering we only rode a few hours a day, 1 am afraid their riders would have had a bad time if they had tried to follow us. Some who did seemed to find a mile quite enough. The motor bicycle is a thing of moods. But the worst motor bicycle I ever saw is better than the best pedal-shoved safety I have ever ridden.—Joseph Pennell, in the Daily Chronicle.

This Day. _ A sensational incident happened a few nights ago on a lonely road near the Western Springs on the outskirts of the city. A young asylum nurse was accosted by a man who struck hor with a stone and then threw her to the ground. The young woman, however, re sisted bravely and succeeded in getting to her feet again. Further struggle ensued as the nurse made her way along the road, but on approaching a cottage she screamed violently. Her assailant then released her and producing what seemed to be a revol ver he iired ; the woman put up her hands and was wounded in the thumb. The man then made off. ANOTHER WARNING TO IMMI GRANTS. (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, Yesterday. The following cable message has been received from the Secretary of State for the Colonies : " On the representation of Lord Milner it has been decided that after December Ist no permits to the Transvaal or Orange River Colony will be issued, ex cept at South African ports. Persons wish ing to proceed to those colonies should therefore apply for permits to the permit officer at the port at which they propose to land. Such permits may be refused, and, in order to avoid disappointment or delay, it is suggested that persons about to go to these colonies should ascertain before sail ing foi South Africa from the permit officer at the port of landing whether permits will be granted. Under the peace preservation ordinance now in force in 'Transvaal and Orange River Colony persons entering without permits may be ordered to leave, and if this order is not obeyed within a certain time are liable to fine and imprison ment. THE FLOUR TRUST. (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) CIIRISTCHURCiI, Yesterday. A deputation, representing the Trades and Labour Council, the Progressive Liberal Association and the Working Men's Co-operative Association waited on" Sir J. G. Ward, and brought under his notice the deleterious operation of the Flour Mil lers' Association. They alleged that the present price of flour in this city was £l2 per ton, which was out of proportion to the cost of wheat, especially as the cost of milling had not increased. Reference was also made to tho trust restricting the out put, and declining to supply bakers who did not conform to the conditions imposed by the .Master Rakers' Association. It was stated that tho trust was selling flour in Au:klaud, freight paid, at £lO 15s par ton. It was suggested that the State should establish mills. Sir Joseph Ward, in reply, said it was a difficult matter to deal with trusts by legislation. He did not favour the establishment of State flour mills, as the State would probably have to pay more for wheat than private individuals. This had been the case in connection with the pur chase of land by the State, the value being put up against the Government and every one else. He considered the solution of the difficulty would be in the direction of State assistance to co-operative flour mills, and he promised to bring the matter before the Cabinet. BOWLING AND TENNIS Ine bowling an J tennis season was for mally opened at Cambridge yesterday after noon. Bleak windy weather prevailed, and the attendance was smaller than on previous occasions. Before commencin" play, the president (Mr F. J. Brooks) made a few remarks, welcoming those present, and referring to the improvement in the bowling green and its surroundings. He mentioned that it had been the intention to invite the Hamilton bowlers up, but on theadvice of the green superintendent it hau been decided to invite them later on, when the green will doubtless be much improved.

WAIKATO HOSPITAL BOARD The newly elected Waikato Hospital Board met at the Borough Council Ci-aiti bers, Hamilton yesterday. There were present: Messrs \. iY.inrose, I'. < iVunuur, C. E. Clark-..1. P. Bailey, A. T. J. Wheel-,. ,1. Mciinirk, Vick.Tß, VV. !'. Chepmell, T. Bellamy and J. Fisher. CJIAIRM V.N. The clerk haviug r<al tin.' notnin.iti.>ii fur members, Mr \V. Chopiiioll m >ve i that Mr I'riuirose lie re-elected ihaiiin in for the ensuing year, lie c'naraeten ed Mi Primrose as "the ! ather ol the ! o-f '. a '. sahl he had always ivnrke-.l haul iu tli interests of the lb spital. Mr Bailey seconded the motion. MrMcHuirkin speaking Iu the motion expressed the opinion that the older men - bars alone could fully appreciate Mr Prim rose's excellence as chairman. lie had been connected with ioca! bodies fur 3(1 years and he had never met a better chair man, as his rulings, even when against hi* own interests were always fair. The motion was curried unanimously. Mr Primrose iu taking the chair thanked tho members for re-electing him as chair man. Had it not been for Mr Chepuiell's distance from Hamilton he would person ally have liked to see mat gentleman in the chair. SEPTIC TANK. The Chairman stated that, as resolved at last meetiug, they had consulted Mr Met calf about the erection of this tank, and he had recommended the Hoard to erect it * themselves, this was being done. CEEAKINO NOXIOUS WEEDS. The Chairman reported that several ten ders had been received for clearing furze, etc., on the Hoard's sections, that of W, Steele for £ls 1' s being accepted. The action of the House Committee was ap proved of, and it was decided to advertise these sections for lease. OUTSIDE PATIENTS. a The Secretary read a letter from Sir J. 0. Ward sent to Mr F. W. Lang, M.H.K. "With reference to MrC. Barton's telegram, which you received on the Ist ult. and handed to me, I have to inform you that upon a report being received by the Super intendent of the'l'ourist and Health lie sorts Department from the medical officer of the Rotorua Sanatorium stating that he had, at a Buller district patient's urgent request, sent the said patient to the Auck land Hospital intend of following thy usual practise of sending such patients to the Hamilton Hospital, and that the Auck land Hospital Hoard had complained ot the patient being so sent to their Hospital, Dr. Kenny (the medical officer of the sanator ium) was instructed to rigidly adhere to the usual practice, and continue to send such patients to the liamilion Hospital. Such patients as belong to the Auckland and .North Auckland Charitable Aid Dis tricts will continue to be sent to the Auck land Hospital." The secretary remarked that evidently the Minister was under the impression that they were complaining of these patients being kept away. ■ Mr I>yer moved " That the secretary be instructed to write to the Minister and inform him that unless provision is made for these patient* within one month from the date of the secretary's letter the Wai kato Hospital Hoard will refuse to receive them. Mr Chepmell, in seconding the resolu tion, said the dispute was not between the Hoard and patients, but between the Hoard and the Government. Mr Bailey, speaking to the motion, said the Board were in an unfortunate position, as they could not very well lefuse patients, say, with broken limbs. The Chairman said although they could not refuse such eases, if they published the fact they did not desire outside cases, they wo ild not get so many. Tho motion was carried nnanimou.s'y. Mr Chepmell moved and Mr Dyer seconded, " that If the Government declines to act in accordance with Mr Dyer's motion, on receipt of the refusal the secre tary insert an advertisement in the papers that the Hoard refuse to accept outside patients." Mr Dyer seconded tho motiou, which was carried. On tho motion of Mr (.'],■"■'-, seconded by Mr McGuirk, it was decided hat the secre tary prepare for next meeting a table showing tho actual cost of outside patients and the amount received on ac count of such for the past 12 months. hoard's offices. The Chairman brought up the question of the Board's general offices. Members would lemember that they had tri d to obtain a site near the post office, but S ; r J. G. Ward had refused to grant the re quest. He had just received a letter from Mr Hdgecumbe offering the use of offices iu the Argus buildings at a rental of £26 per an num for a term of 3 or 5 years. The chairman said under the present arrangements they paid £l7 per annum for the use of the Council Chambers. Mr Dy< r advocated deferring action as if tho proposed municipal buildings were erected, the Hoard could then obtain superior accommodation at a very reason able cost. He moved that Mr Hdgecumbe be thanked for his letter and requested to allow tho maHrer to stand over. Mr Bailey seconded the motion, with which Mr Chepmell concurred. Mr Fisher asked what steps had been taken in the matter of ascertaining the cost of erecting suitable offices. The Chairman said none of thoir own sections were available except one near the bridges, and members would consider that out-of-the-way. The motion was carried. Mr Fisher, moved'that the House Com ■» ruittee bring up a report at the February meeting on the estimated cost of offices and on available sites for the same. Mr Clark seconded the motion which was seconded. House AND FINANCE COMMITTET. Messrs Primrose, Mills, McGuirk, Clark, Dyer, Chepmelland Vikcers were appointed |jk.

KAWHIA. ♦- i'i.i.M I'lß o\\ N C o;ei.SPi INDENT. Th" s.S. K.ui'-iri was expected on Satur day morning from 'mchuuga with cargo, i.iii she is slili o;ir ii mild 'T wiud-bouud in -. : clan. The sienmer was advertised to 1-■1 \- ■ 1 mebiiiga on Ihursday, the 27th hi.-?, and s.vral pa-.-ongors proceeded to h:f port with tleir luggage, only to find ti'ii t .»■ dale of sailing bad been iudefi ■ ;v!y po -I :■ ■ ■?(!, The trouble, worry and expense to wh;ch passengers are thus con tinually subjected, is simply, not only ridiculous, but cruel. \\ e are now short of provision- uud stores of all kinds owing to the bungling of the N.S. Co. or their em ployees. Surely this state of affairs is be coming so unbearable that some direct and immediate action will be taken. It would seem to be a matter in regard to which the Farmers' i'nion might combine with the Vigiliance Committee in en deavouring to set right. It is understood that Ministers have practically promised to reclaim a consider able portion of the Kawhia foreshore in trout of the township. This important work would not only add to the beauty of Cue plac* and the safe anchorage of boats, but the rentals accruing from the building sites thereon would do much more than pay tho interest on the money thus ex pended. Mr T. Wake deserves great credit for the able manner in which he has brought this very important local matter to an almost successful issue. Still another new oil-launch for the K'awhia harbour, Mr Walter Morgan hav ing secured a suitable such craft, which will arrive at an early date. (juite a large number of surveyors are still busily engaged upon the Kawhia South land, and it is understood that more men are to be put on almost imme diately. Those in Kawhia arriving from outlying districts should call on Mr D. Noonan and inspect his numerous suit samples which are cheap, fashionable and quite up-to-date. Messrs T, Wake and Co. expect quite a lot of new summer uoods, identical with the latest Auckland and London fashions, by the next steamer, and it will pay all intending purchasers to call and have a look at the new stock. Telephonic news has just arrived to the effect that the s.s. Kanieri has, after a stav of four days' idleness, just crossed the Rag lan bar on her way to Onehunga. Besides proving very inconvenient to local residents and business men, this sort of work should result in a serious loss to the N.S. Co. The Rev. T. G. Cut, Congregationalist clergyman, from Raglan, held service in the Schoolroom yesterday evening, and a Jaree audience attended. This is the first visit we have had from any preacher siuce the beginning of winter, but when the new church is erected, service will be held every Sunday. The sale of the two new native town ships, Mr Cowall's and Mr Taui Wetere's, both quite close to Kawhia, is occupying a great deal of attention in and around this district ; the sale comes oil' in January next, and no doubt there will be consider able competition amongst intending pur chasers of the various sections. In the Star, Herald and Weekly Xews the result of the r cent election in Wnikato appeared, Kawhia 25 for Creenslade and 32 for Hang, whereas it should have been 55 for tho former, and 32 for the latter. RAGLAN. A meeting of the Sports Committee was bold on Saturday at the Harbour View Hotel, 31r Hamilton in the chair. A balance of £ r > l:s lOd was shown to be in hand from last sports and a programme of 1<! events was passed. A committee was elocted with .Mr X V. T. Smith as secretary. The spoits are to be held in Raglan on the Ist of January next. Colonel l>avies, officer commanding the Auckland Volunteer ilistrict, inspected the Raglan Mounted Rifles on Saturday. There was only a small muster as the troop did not know he would be present and on account of the nearness of the annual camp. MONTGOMERY'S ENTERTAINERS. Mr Montgomery, the popular pro prietor and manager of Mont gome y's En tertainers, will appear with his versatile company at .the Volunteer Hall, to-night. The company have recently concluded a highly successful season in Christchurch, where they billed to appear for only three nights, but owing to phenomenal business had to extend their season to ten nights. Montgomery s show is a show with a repu tation, and the public are treated to a com pl te clvmgo of pivgramm on eveiy oc casion the organisation visits our town. Mr Montgomery i.s right up-to-date and h'is agents in England, America and France who are continually procuring all the latest novelties and sensational acts of the world for this clever company and the edi fication and amu einent of the Australasian public. <)n the occasion of this visit every thing will be new, bright, clean and spark ling.

THE POOR BACHELOR. One (it thr 111 <<st novel and deter mined ellorts to drive the bachelor to ma t iimony in' suieide is the law which has been promulgated in one of the Sutes forming the Argentine federation (points out the New York times). ,\ man is marriageable in Argentine when he has coinpieted his twentieth year. If. from that date, and till lie passes his thirtieth birth day. he wishes to remain single, he must pay,Cl a month to the State. For the next five years, the tax in creases a hundred per cent. I>e tween thirty-five and fifty the bachelor is supposed to have crystalised into a confirmed state, and a strong financial jolt is considered necessary to awake h m from his leth argy. lie is, therefore, mulcted to the tune of ,£ I a month. From hi;! fiftieth year to five beyond the Scrip- : tural three-score and ten, the i bachelor is mulcted <£G, but having ; reached the seventy-fifth year, relief j finally comes, and the tux becomes i nominal, being reduced to £ I 15s per annum. After eighty, a man can re main single without paying anything. There is a paragraph relating to widowers, who are given three years in which to mourn and pick u successor. If a man is unable to pay his taxes he is put in prison un less lie can show a just cause, such as lack of employment and or sickness. A man who can prove that he has received three declinations in one year is also considered to have earned immunity from taxation. It is said that the law works like a charm. Since the day when it went into operation the alcades of the villages and towns done a rushing busi- ' ness, and the treasury is as empty as before, which seems to indicate that between the two evils of marrying or parting with the hard-earned coin, the bachelors of Argentine prefer the former. THE UNDERFED ENGLISHMAN. SOME SIGNIFICANT STATIS TICS. Thirty per cent of the population of Great Britain is underfed. Such is the declaration of Sir .1. Criehton ction of the International Con for the Welfare and Protection ildren, lately held in London. rifhton Browne finds that even • rural districts the food habits ■ masses are calculated to pre imys growing up into useful •ial wherewith to fight and con quer lu-eat lintain s enemies in war. " My observation leads mc to believe," says the distinguished medical autho rity, "that the masses are improperly fed, as well as underfed. For example, in rural districts in Scotland where milk was to he had in plentv it is now scarce. Jt is sent to the city to be sold. The children are fed on bread and tea and cheap jams, and even oatmeal has passed into the background as a staple article of diet. When we turn to the townfolk we see in the anaemic faces the lack of sound teeth and the stunting of bodies evidence of deterioration due to misuse of food. In the factory town of Dundee hoys between the ages of eleven and twelve years were found to average ten pounds under weight and nearly four inches under height. Girls were found to fall be low the standard also/' The publica tion of these figures and other statis tics on the subject lias attracted much attention throughout England. No thing can cause greater consternatiou in the average Briton than the con viction that his race is deteriorating. The matter is likely to be brought up The matter is in Parliament.

Imperial Calf Food (HEATHER BRAND). Can be used with either skim or separated milk, whey, or water alone. Extract from letter received from a gentle man in the North Island, who uses Imperial Calf Food : —" I started feeding a calf about a week old, tho mother of which was sold at birth. Our other cow gave so little milk we oculd only spare a pint per day Upon this, with your food, we reared the calf, using just two 251b bags, which lasted 100 days. If milk had not been so scarce we should rave used ess Food. The " Calf in question has, In the natural oourse of events, just dropped her second calf, and is as nice a cow in all respects asoould be desired." From the above it may be gathered that I a ealf oan be successfully reared upon half-s ---ound of Food per day when milk is scarce; iltntiful, less. PACKED IN 251b., 50lb„ 1001bs., and 2001b. SACKS.

" When they put a man in gaol, he cannot fol ||F| low his natural inclina tion. His enjoyment of life is limited. </He cannot eat what he wants to. He is limited to a very frugal diet. He is alive, to be sure, but life doesn't possess very many advantages. Are not all these things equally true of the dys peptic ? For all the real enjoyment he gets out of life, he might as well be in gaol. He cannot eat what he likes, nor as much of it as he would like. If he transgresses any of the rules of his diet, he is punished for it. He i suffers much ; gets little sympathy. Dyspepsia 1 starts with indigestion, , and may lead v") almost anything. Indigestion means a variety of things—it shows itself in many ways. At first, perhaps, a little heaviness in the stomach, a little sourness, windy belchings, and heartburn. Headacheß begin to come pretty soon after that, and biliousness and a foul taste in the mouth in the morning. Chronic constipation is almost inevitable, aud it is probably the most serious trouble that ever takes hold of a man. Its seeming simplicity is the thing that makes it most dangerous, because it leads to neglect. Constipation means that the body is holding i poisonous, impure matter, that should be gotten rid of. The poison is being re absorbed into the blood, and the whole body is being filled with it. Impurity in the blood may lead to almost any disease. There is no telling what may come of it. And yet people are careless about it. It is the moat serious thing in'the world, and the easiest to cure if you go about it right. Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills cure Constipa tion. > Cure it positively, certainly, infal libly. Cure it so it stays cured. Cure it so you can stop taking medicine. And that is something that no other remedy in the world will do. They positively cure Biliousness, Indigestion, Constipation, Dys pepsia, Sallow Complexion, Liver and Kid ney Troubles, Piles, Pimples and Blotches.

The best never leaves China, the second best is nearly all sent to Russia, the third, fourth, fifth and other descend ing grades come to Australia. Happily the imports of China Tea are lessening steadily, and cor respondingly those of Ceylon are going up. Ceylon tea is grown in a British Colony and Ceylon is the picked spot of earth for tea grow ing. All Ceylon tea is good ; the best is exquisite, and no other tea grown in any other part of the world can in any way compare with it.

We submitted a catalogue of 1117 bales, the bulk consisting of well crossbreds.

We have referred recently to a number of matters relative to the welfare of this community, but so far it stolid indifference has been main tained by those who are most deeplv interested, and. no doubt, this dis interestedness accounts for the ex tremely unsatisfactory condition which exists at the local railway station. It is generally admitted that HaiuilU n is an important railwav town, not only through the great num ber of trains passing backwards and forwards, but because of the large and increasing trade which centres here. While the district has been expanding and shops and houses have been built, the railway accommoda tion litis remained in much the same stiite, and to-day we are in possession of one of the most antiquated and ramshackle places which is to la found on the railway : in fact, it is just about equal to a number of wayside stations where the business amounts to one truclc a week. The destination of stran gers to the Waikato is usually either Hamilton or Cambridge, and they are led to believe that they tire going to towns of some importance, the guide books telling of a number of impor tant institutions that exist in these towns, but the shock is often rude when, after a few minutes run from Fran«.wn .Junction, the train pulls up at a small station—Hamilton. They say that first impressions are al ways the oest, but if people were to form their opinion of Hamilton from the appearance of its railway station, the estimate would be very low indeed. We are not advocating any gaudy show, but rather that the necessary eonvenienvs should lie pr<>- vi lod. I In; defects are so manifest | In those who have any railway tran sa -l ions with the I >e]>artiuent that it seems almost superlluous to direct at ■ ciuion to tliem. I'raeiicallv there is no privacy tor the station master ail oli.-o \v; iii •< 1 oil' Lv a tliin pan it ion w'nieli does nit r/adi to ih" ceiling Lv Iwo oi' t live feet is t lie only place \\ here hj, an l ull' from public gaze, ami trans act business of a private chai'acter, aii 1 here there is hardly sufficient room to turn. 1 lie place where par cels and luggage; is received is of a very primitive d -s-ription, and. as tins is open, it is impossible to hold the railway (.illicit!ls responsible for anything that goes astrav, and it speaks well tor the honestv of the community that so little is lost. L'lie limited amount of room is such as to cause great inconvouienee and an unnecessary amount of labour for the employees, and, in consequeuce of this state of allairs, thevhave to put in verv long hours to cope with the work. Mr Hi irsnell, our station master, is an energetic and fore sighted man, but surrounded with such anomalies it is no wonder that the work of the department cannot be got through in a fair time. The siding accommodation is another matter which demands immediate attention, lite public experience great incon veneuee through having to wait fre quentl}' two or three days before tliev can get at the truck in which their goods are placed, and men with drays have to wait about until their turn comes. This is caused by the limited length of the siding where the trucks tire unloaded. According to railway law no vehicle is allowed to cross the rails, and as only a few trucks can be placed on the outside road, the re mainder have to wait on the inside fails until such time as a vacancy occurs. Now, the Department litis a good length of section, and by run ning a road to Victoria Street, inside the yard, sufficient room could be made to accommodate all the trucks containing imperishable articles. This would be the means of preventing the delays which so often occur. How ever, it is not so much our purpose on this occasion to make suggestions as to alterations, as to try and arouse public interest in this matter. The need is a pressing one. The present station and its equipn e its were, no doubt, quite equal to the re quirements of the place tweniv and thirty years ago, but Hamilton litis long since outgrown these, and de mands something more substantial, where the public can have their busi ness attended to with despatch and the officials can periorm their work in ;t reasonable number of hours. We arc passing through a period of great prosperity, the like of which has never been known before in this dis trict, or probably in Xew Zealand, and this may account for the apathy which is displayed by the public, flic rise has come so rapidly that they are not able to cope with their busi ness, but we do hope that they will shake oil this lethargy concerning public allairs, and assist in an agita tion that Hamilton, so long neglected, may receive that treatment it which deserves. LOCAL AND GENERAL The '• drought in Australia " b ttie title of an article ou our fourth page, which will be of great iute'est to our manv farming readers At the annual mooting of the Mosu-iel Woollen C ouipany a dividend of 7 per cent, was declared. It is understood that Mr Justice Oonolly will retire from the Supreme Court Bench at the end of the present year. Mr Clement Wratrg, the Queensland meteorologist, has, it is stated, arranged for a lecturing tour of Australia and New Zealand. The Minister for Lands expects to reach Aucklmdon Sunday to deal with the sterilisation of imported bones, and nn accumulation of departmental matte s which require his personal attention. Chica ?o is to have a college of finance and commerce, where young men are to be trained as hankers, brokers, and traders in farm and cotton produce. The college will be practically a stock exchange, without its financial responsibilities, The Mangatoki Dairy Factory Com pany have stipulated to its suppliers that the can-stand must not be within 30ft. of the] milking-shed, and as a result, a number of milk-stands, that look like a judge's box without a racecourse, have been erected in that vicinity. Mr Dixon, manager of the South Can terbury Dairy Company, states that at the present rate his company is paying for butter-fat, the winning cow in the milking competition at the Timaru show would return her owner (allowing for a slight variation in her daily quantities of milk) the sum of £2 lis lOd for one month of thirty day?, A well-known ancient Maori named Tamati Paunni died at his residence, Aka roa (Canterbury), a few days ago. De ceased was the last survivor of the captives taken during Te Kauparaha's massacre at Takapuna I'a when he visited Akaroa in the brig Elizabeth in 1527. Paurini was <)0 years of age, aud had suffered from rheumatism for some time. A tangi has been held at Tikao Baq native village. The Otago Daily Times, referring to the large " no-license " vote at the Local Op tion poll, says It is a stern protest by thousands of moderate people who in previous years have recorded a vote on the other side, but who now resent the flgraut disregard of the licensing laws that is everv where rampant. It is more than that-"in many cases. It is the result of a grow ing fear that the youth of the colony are in danger of losing the reputation forsteadi ness and sobriety to which they had fo many years an indisputable right to lay claim. It means that the people are de termined there -hall be reform in the met hods of -'the trade." If an honest at tempt, is made by the Legislature, the police and the licensed victuallers of the colony to accomplish that reform, it can be brought about, and with that end attained we should be very much surprised if the'e were not a great drop in the no-license vote at the next triennial poll. If those who are in terested in the trade do not choose to set their house in order, thev will, in all pro bability, have serious cause to regr t their folly when the local option ballot is next taken. Wades Worm Figs the Wonderful Worm Worriers—are a sure remedy, in Is boxes. Sold everywhere. Which Nation -will reach the North Pole first is a question we put to you.

The Sana torium will notb.'ready to leaeive its full c implement ofp.ttun's t ; ll next year. The output of butter at the Elthain dairy f i'"t >:v lias now readied two tons per day, this being a record for the factory at this time of the year. It is expected that the output will reach throe t ns daily at the height of the present season. It is stat"d that as the result of the goal ••nquiry at Hokitika in regard to the escape of pris iners, one of the warders has been discharged. The latter intends to lay his case before Parliament, and threatens "disclosures." Sunshine jellies and custard powders have made such a name for theins Ives that no housewife requires to be told of their usefulness or economy. Mr F. W. Tucker of Auckland has an advertisement in this is-ue which will be of great interest to all ladies. Yesterday evening, .Mr .las. liregman, senior, of 'i'e Mata, passed away at the Waikato Hospital after a sudden and severe illness. He was well-known through out the district as he was one of the early settlers, lie leaves a widow and twelve children to mourn their los-. The final scrutiny of tho Hay of L'lenty eleetion discloses the singular fact that Mr W. H. Herries, the returned member, pollfd exactly the same number of votes 1 -110; this election that he did at the last election, when a portion of the Waikato was included, for which Waihi lias been substituted this time. The Napier Daily Telegraph says that although the" climate of New Zealand is supposed to be suited to the cultivation of almost every kind of fruit, yet at the pre sent time Napier dealers are selling apple 3 from California, oranges from Australia, and peanuts from Japan, not to mention imported lemons, pines, and bananas. The North Otago Times says that an old veteran residing in the < Umaru d s tiict has just received a pension, to which lie was entitled because of his having gone through the Indian Mutiny. He had written repeatedly to the War Oili e for the money, but it was not until an appli cation was addressed to Lord Roberts, the Commander-in-Chief, that he received any s tisfaetion. The duty of a teacher to an absent scholar was discussed by the Wanganui Education Hoard ou Monday week. It was decided to Ceil uro any teachir who does not comply with the circular issued by the B >ard asking teachers not to repo.'t as absent any children whom tiiey know to be sick or absent without good reason. The Jj-mols Couaty Council, in dealing with tho small birds'pest, is buying eggs of thru dies and blackbirds, as well as of sparrows and linnets. The starling is held to be a useful bird, and the Council desires to pre-'-rve it. It has transpired that boys wh.i are collecting eggs take starlings' eggs and, doiiing theai with ink, pass them off as those of thrushes. A warning has been issued to the ollicial egg-buyers to beware of this fraud. R'-gfirding the Elingamite disaster, Mr X. J. Jnkius of Christciiurch, writes to the Sydney l.'aily Telegraph as follows.-- Many years ago 1 represented to the Xe.v Zealand Government the advisability of steamers carrying pigeons from their last pirts. Had this been done the news of the Elingamite disaster would have reached Auckland in six hour*. Particularly is this necessary on the Australian coast. The cost is little, and could easily be worked through the Customs, when the vessel cleared. At a small fee she should be com pelled to carry a trained carrier pigeon, lu the present instance, the Eiingamite would have a pigeon from Auckland and also from Sydney." Mr Chris !- T ealy in " To-day," tells some things about the Dreyfus trial that will till his readers with autonishment. Among other things, he says that when the jury entered to delivei their verdict a dozen officers drew their swords and waved them above their heads, and the Garde liepubli caine flourished their bayonets. 'The jury had but to say " Non-Coupable " and it would have been the signal for the Pre torians to plunge their blades into Zola's breast iu a fury of patriotic frenzy. For tunately for him the jury returned a ver dict of guilty, and so saved his life. This fact can be attested by any witness of the closing scenes of the famous trial. A winter dairy show is at last assured for I'almerstou. With the presence of a large exhibition hall on the show grounds of the Manawatu and West Coast A. and I'. Association and the decision of the Natior.al Dairy Association to amalgamate with the former in promoting a winter exhibition,'there is every indication that a show worthily representative of the dairy industry will take place during next wint <r. It is to bo hoped that the Hutter aud Cheese-makers' Association will hold its annual meeting during the course of the show, and that the members will combine with the National Dairy Association in holding a conference on the lines of that held in Palmers ton last year, the most im portant gathering of dairymen which has yet taken place in the colony. One thing remains to make the proposed show a success—that tho A. and P, Association should remember for once that its object is something more than conserving the in terests of stock-breeding, It is probable that the most attractive factory butter competitions yet arranged in the colony will be the feature of the show. One horse out of 6000 odd which left New Zealand for South Africa has re turned to these shores. Tho animal came back to Wellington by the i'apanui on Saturday. His career has been an historic and eventful* one. Brought into the camp of the Fourth Contingent at Newtown Park, he fell into the hands ef Lieutenant Collins, son of Lieutenaut- Coloi.el Collins, of this city. The horse was first shipped to Dunedin, and thence to Beir.a by the troopship Gymerie. From Bcira he went to Marandellas : from Mar andellas, a twenty six days journey to Buluwayo ; from Buluwayo to tort Tuli : from Fort Tuli back to Buluwayo: and from Buluwayo to Mafeking. There he remained until the Ottoshoop engagement. There Lieutenant Collins left his charger at the bottom of a kopje, while he climbed to the top to re ceive the wound which stopped his lighting aid that was the last he saw of the famous chestnut in South Africa. 'The horse then passed into the possession of Sergeant- Major Poole—who was promoted to be a lieutenant—and remained in the latter's until tho Fourth left South Africa. Then Colonel Porter came along with the Seventh and took charge of him. The horse carried the heavy-weiglit colonel about for some months, and the latter decided that he should be sent to England to be hi 3 charger in the Coronation procession. The horse was forwarded on to England, but instead of going to London was consigned by mis take to Colonel Porter, of the Dragoon Guards, Colchester. And now he lias re turned to Wellington, and is doing a term of quarantine probation on Somes Island. Mr .J.

Dissatisfac tion is expressed locally that only one New South elshman has been included. An adjourned meeting of th" committee of the Cambridge united picnic was he'd on Wednesday night. The meeting was ex pressly called to ascertain whether there was a fe'ding in favour of the picnic-being held this year. There was only a small ate uidance, so it was decide 1 to abandon the gathering this year. Probably smaller gatherings will he arranged by the different denominations. It may possibly interest readers to leirn that the oldest known horse in America is a bay g lding which is certified to be up wards ot li years old. At all events, he is a veteran of the Mexican campaign of 1.553, a memento of which he carries on his flank, in the shape of a big scai : and he was also used as an officer's charger in the Civil War. For twenty years he has done no work, and as all his teeth have gone his principal food is boil d corn and mash, upon which he seems to thrive, to the great satis faction of his owner, Major Mass, of Louis ville, Kentucky, For some considerable fiuic past a num ber of petty thefts have been perpetuated at Cambridge, the shopkeepers being the principal victims. The thief has gone about his work systematically, and bseu caieful to leave no trace of his having been on the premises. This kind of thing becomes monotonous for those who are affected, and one shopkeeper has placed a notice up in his establishment offeriusr a reward for de tection of any theft, however small. It was reported some time ago that the police had a clue, but it Ins apparently never got be yond that. It is a great pity that the theif cannot be caught re 1-handed. The Russian Grand Duke Boris, gives the following opinion about American re pjrteis: If you talk to him oue minute about the weather the next day he prints a whole column about your love affairs. If you simply shake hands, remaining per fectly dumb meanwhile, he will print two columns, [f you refuse to see him at all you must expect a full page of mixed dia logue and life sketches. Since ordinary champagne drinking was not picturesque enough for them, they represented me gulping it from a dainty "chorus girl's slippers." All of this Boris calls amus ing. The Hamilton Choral Society intend giving their first concert on Friday night next at the \ olunteer Hall, the principal part of the programme being Birch's sparkling operetta, "Merry Men of Sher wood torest,' which is undoubtedly one of the most popular works of the kind which has ever been written. The members of late have made rapid progress under their conductor, Mr T. H. Bosworth. There will be a full chorus and orchestra, and several soloists new to Hamilton will take part. A short miscellaneous programme will pre cede the principal work. Mr Tom Mann (says an Australian Tress telegram) since his arrival at Broken Hill lias been doing an immense amount of organising work in connection with the labour movement on the Barrier, and generally has been enthusiastically re ceived. On Saturday night the Amalga mated Society of Engineers, of which Mr Tom Mann is a member, entertained him at a smoke-social. Replying to the toast of his health, he condemned the policv of the engineers' management in New Zea land, saying it neglected to make use of the Arbitration Court in regulating the proportion of apprentices to journeymen employed at shops.

Ihe visits to Hamilton of Montgomery's Entertainers always mean crowded house and attentive audiences; such was this case hist night, when the Company ap peared at the Volunteer Hall. As usual the pictures were first-rate, and elicited rounds of applause repeatedly. Perhaps the best were those representing the recent naval review at Spithead, the Coronation procession and the railway ride through Switzerland. The stag hunt on the banks of the River Esk, the fire brigctde scenn, and tne films showing the clever contor tionist Irene Latour, the Four Lottos' bicycle act, the big boot dance by little lick, and the horizontal bar performance of the famous Lukens also deserves men tion. The humorous pictures were much above the average of this class, and greatly pie ised the audience, the "Belle of Hamilton being a first-class presentiment of that lady. During the evening Mr Bob Hall gave his amusing humorous sketches and at once established himself as a favourite. Mr Edmund Montgonory sang " The Tele phone," " The Old Fashioned Way " •' Last Night," and " The Fatal Rose of Red," the songs being illustrated by beautifully coloured pictures. _ ;i h ' company appear in Hamilton again tins evening, and we recommend anyone desiring a hour's hearty laugh to visit the ii'ill.

X h\\ A ()1! |\. I (eceinber '■). Piesident Koose\elts Message to Congress has a strongly Imperialistic tone. It emphasises the country's un bounded prttsperitv ;<tk 1 the neces sity. in relation to trusts, to make a reasonable and effective law against fraudulent over-capitalisation and practices injurious to inter-State trade. liccipro; i y treaties, it says, are desirable in connection with tariff re* adjustment, which ought to he treated solely from the standpoint of busi ness needs. A commission of busi ness experts might indicate to a Con gress committee what changes in the schedule are necessary and how far the changes could go without chang i ■ ® ing the country s great prosperity or upsetting its fixed economic policy. 1 he .Message recommends that the Secretary of Commerce, by the seal of the Cabinet, should remove the tariff on anthracite i^tal. Reciprocity with Cuba and a con vention with Britain for reciprocal trade with Xewfoundland similar to the plan laid down by Air Blaine is advocated ; also the appointment of a general stall for the army. The ei f jrcement of the Monroe Doc* trine required a first-class navy, and additional fighting craft would be pro vided yearly. Dwelling on the policy of the world, the Message states that it be hoves each independent nation in America to maintain internal order and discharge its just obligations to foreigners. America has already played a large part in the world, and was beit on making her future part even larger. The events of the pasfe four years had definitely decided that for weal or woe America s place must be great among the nations. She had deliberately made her own foreign policy, which demanded the posses sion of a thorough navv. Ihe message recommends that any future arbitration should be under taken by The Hague Tribunal rather than arbitrators chosen for special cases. GENERAL ITEMS. LONDON, Dec. 4.

Lord Lans downe on the 6th explained that he protested objecting to the utilisation of Ihe evacuation for a needless reaf firmation of the open door poliev, or China's sovereign rights, or for pur poses of remuneration. This was seem ingly specially aimed at Britain.

THE DROUGHT IN AUSTRALIA ihe follow in-' is clipped from the '' I'} 11 ell on Junes of November lii), iim! we have no doubt will lie read with lttcml interest by our many farm iig subscrilters : Fven Australians, proud and hope ul to 11 1<■ last, arc beginning to admit lie gravity of t lie ealamiiv wliieli lias lU'ilaken tdimm \\ t■ have ail read i''counts of the miles ami miles of barn ncountry, the starvation of stock, the dear! h of water, the ruinat ion of settlers. We know tint in New South \\ ales heroic battles ha\"e been fought with the terrible enemv, and ihat farmers, settlers and station lioltlers hiive contested every inch of ground as they have fallen hack liter illy upon tlic Inst ditch. The (mm mm merit has given them what assi> .•" it could think of, hut when all is i antl all due credit has been given to Sir.John See and his ml leagues, ii must lie confessed that tliev have lacked the imagination and the deter mination necessarv in : uch a There seems to have been a disposition to depend lon extensively on the Federal go vernment, and even now the best measure Australian politicians can conceive is the remission of the Federal duties on foodstuffs and fodder. It may he over-harsh to sav that the State Government did not realise the gravity of the position until the distress was beginning to be felt in the towns, but there is some ground for the assertion. So long as the settlers were selling their stock to save what they could from the general disaster, the towns were moderately, if not cheaply, fed. During the win ter, too, districts not allectod by the drought were able to help those that were effected. I Jut we must remem ber that this present drought, coming after a succession of dry seasons, has now lasted a summer, an autumn, a winter and a spring, and there is little prospect of a real break. It is, as the Sydney Morning Herald justly claims, a striking testi mony to the resources of the State that the stress of this long affliction has been so well borne. .But there are limits to the endurance of all peo ples. In certain country districts the limit Lias long since been reached. The towns are in better case, but they too are suffering severely. Wheat reached (5s per bushel in Melbourne on Nov. I!), and the four-pound loaf was selling at 7d. This week we have wheat quoted in Sydney at 6s .">d a bushel, and flflur at Xll 10s to £l2 los a ton. Mr Coghlan has made a comparison of the prices ruling for necessary commodities in Sydney on Nov. 10, 1900, and Nov. 15, 11)02. A few items may be quoted : lttQO IDO2 Wheat, per bus. 2s 7cl os 7d Flour, per ton ,£6 jgll Maize, per bus. 3s 5s Od Oats, (N.Z) per bus. lis Id lis 8d Chaff X"'< (3s £G los ISeef per 1001b 21s 6d 44s The New South Wales wheat harvest will probably not yield li,."> 00,000 bushels. The requirements for food w ill be y,OOO,000 bushels, and for seed 2,000,000 bushels, The estimated yields of the other Australian States are 12,.>00,000 bushels, but their requirements will be fullv 20,000,000, so that the gross shortage at present estimates will be 1 1,000.000 bushels. I nemplqyed are thronging into Syd ney and Melbourne. 'The New South Wale* Government, in conference with Opposition leader;-: and with re presentative business men, farmers and workers, has drafted a series of proposals, which will be submitted to Parliament for approval. They in clude a vigorous public works policy for stricken districts, the distribution of seed wheat, the extension of advances to settlers, the remission of rents for Crown tenants, and water conserva tion schemes. The nominal rates will be continued for the carriage of fod der on the railways, and Hit; Federal Gove.nment. will be directly asked to suspend the duties on breadstufls and fodder. Meanwhile, subscription-lists have been opened to raise funds for trtie immediate relief of the most ur gent eases of distress. Australia's troubles would move even a more dis tant and less sympathetic neighbour than New Zealand, but the rebuke ad ministered to Mad ame MHlia ibises a doubt as to how we can assist. News comes this morning that steady rain has fallen over the greater part of New South \\ ales, and we can only hope that relief, in its most acceptable form, is at last at hand.

In so fur us their protest against the establishment of trusts in this colony is concerned, the views of the deputa tion which waited on Sir Joseph Ward at Christchurch on Wednesday will have the hearty support of the great majority of New Zealanders. Owing to the advanced policy of the Liberal Party, New Zealand has been fortunate enough to steer clear of any extreme phases of those economic questions which have ngi tated the Old World and the Americun States. Especially has this been the case with regard to the undue accumula tion of wealth in the hands of a limit ed number, and the concomitant tyranny and oppression indulged in by unscrupulous speculators and finan ciers. America affords perhaps the most striking example of the deleteri ous operation of combines and trusts, and the position has been so desperate that special legislation lias been intro duced into the Senate, dealing very stringently with the interstate trade in the products of the combines or rings, although whether it will become the law of the State is very proble matical, for the power of the capital ist is great in the land. One of the most pronounced examples of the pernicious action of a ring on the wel fare of the consumers was that of the Beef trust, through which the price of meat in New York rose to almost famine prices. However advantageous these corners may be to the producers individually, to the consumers as a nation the existence of such is an incubus which will ruthlessly, irresis tibly and rapidly drag the community from its legitimate place in the com mercial world. We in New Zealand are a singularly sturdy people, our country is naturally fitted for the fuller and truer development of our best traits, and our aspirations and energies are directed toward the bringing about of that equality of man which alone is the test of ideal Go vernment.New Zealand has no place for the exploiting capitalist or his com bines ; our industries must not be allowed to drift into the grasp of the financier who has no stake in the country except the filling of his own pockets and the pandering to his own pleasures. The time is coming when the co-operative system and equal division of profits will be, if not the law of the land, the custom of the country. Present day thoughts and leg islation all give support to such a con tention, and unless the leaders in the struggle against the advancing tide of political and economic progress realise that these rings are looked upon by the masses as octopi to be extermin ated at sight, conflict between the capitalist and the wage-earner is bound to have much bitterness added, and is certain to be strengthened by the support of the bulk of our con sumers. The prosperity of New Zea land depends, not upon the bolstering up of a few industries at the expense of the whole trade of the colony, but on the sound and permanent develop ment of our staple commodities and our natural industries. LOCAL AND GENERAL The following articles appear on Page 4of this issue . —" Vermont Wools," "Rural England," and " A Royal Quarrel." A dozen of eggs, laid by White Leghorn heus owned by Mr E. Holland, of Punuy tliorpe, turned the scale at 2lbs 80/.s. l'he hens secured Ist, 2nd, and 3rd prizes at the late Feilding Poultry Show, and Ist and 2nd at the Palmerston Show. The most important fact revealed by the recent English census returns is the rela tively small increase of children under fif teen. From 18S1 to 1891 there was an in crease in such chilren of 7.4 per cent, while from 1891 to 1901 there was an in crease of but 3.5 per cent. A census special ist, writing to The Times, declares •' the number of children (in England alone) would have been 2,092,000 greater the had ratio of lbol been m&iatained," In New York it is estimated tint, the S'tH'i 'i'iM.-r I'liruiii;'.; fur the nil u't-'r uiuii'.ig ::nh S 't<!.'iiibor will exceed JJ7,'>') '()>>.

A stylishly-dressed woman entered a res taurant. The waiter handed her a bill of fare written in French, and said : " Please mark off the dishes you wish to order." Could a wuinan, dressed in the height of fashion, confess that she could not read French? Taking the pencil, she made a few dashes, and the order read : " Dinner, 25,"" November J " Vegetables." " Please pay at the des.k," " Celery." The fiendish waiter .brought her beefsteak and unions, but she did not dare to raise a word in pro test.—Tit Bits. Dr. Strebel, of Munich, has made a sen sational discovery of a new method of treating diseases of the teeth by the appli cation of electric rays (writes the Munich correspondent of a London paper). In cases of suppuration at the roots of the teeth he has directed a powerful electric light upon the bony cavities of idle jaw into which the teeth descend and the mucous membrane thereupon. By this means irri tation is set up which increases to violent inflamation. The upper membranous tissue comes away in the form of a layer, the ef fect being that the suppuration ceases, the looseness of the tooth entirely disappears, and full use is restored to it. The opera tion is very difficult, but the results are so salutary that the new process is likely to be widely adopted. So far Dr. Strebel has successfully treated fourteen cases. Doc tors are immensely interested in the dis covery. Commenting on the fact that President Roosevelt is taking an arduous course of athletics to combat his corpulent tendency, the New York World says:—What is known as the hot-water and rare-beef treatment will take off more flesh from the too obese citizen in from two to four weeks than six months of assiduous golfing, bicycling, or any other outdoor exercise. Nothing to drink but hot water before meals, no drink whatever with the meals, and nothing to eat at meals but half boiled beefsteak and dry toast or rusks, and nothing betwecu meals but cold water or weak tea without sugar or milk, will consume surplus fat at the rate of 71b a week easily. A month of this diet will take off all the flesh that can be safelv spared; sometimes a fortnight will suf fice." Not even Sokhalin, with its 3000 mur derers among 22,000 convicts, can escape the atmosphere of a big romance. A re markably handsome young Jewess. Sophie Bluffstein, duped no end of people in Lon don, Vienna, and Paris, drove about in a carriage and pair, ordered the costliest articles, and spent, it is said, some £24,000 in one year. Arrested in an affray she was sent to Siberia. There she cap tivated the overseer, and they tied away together. Again, however, she was ar rested in an affray with one of hor young dupes, and was sent to Sakhalin. So far, there are probably many Europeans who remember her record. The sequel is told by Mr C. 11. Hawes, who has recently re turned from investigations in tin island. One day on the beach, without accomplice, she murdered a merchant, and appears to have buried where none could find them, 3000 roubles he possessed. She was manacled but seemed to have received no further sentence. And now, a woman apparently between fifty and sixty, she keeps one of the biggest hotels in the place. The Ashburton Mail says jt has often been remarked of the Premier that he can enjoy a good joke. During the course of his round ef the Old Men's Home recently he came across one Johnston, an old West Coaster. The latter's identity being re vealed to the Premier caused him to '• halt" at the bedside of the man, who in his younger days was one of the shining lights in the athletic world. So was the Premier, who, after a few minutes' chat with John ston about old times, reeled off a joke at his own expense. "It was in the early days," said the Right Hon. gentleman, "when 1 was a bit of a runner and jumper (laughter) that I engaged to wrestle one ' Paddy ,' I won't mention names. The styles were to be Cumberland and Westmoreland. Well, we set to, and after a short struggle I felt my foot' going from under ' and came down. So you see I got the worst of it. It was a puzzler to me to know he managed to throw me, as at that time I was not easily thrown. Time went on, and ' Paddy ' took ill. On his deathbed he asked for my forgiveness for putting me down, for, said he, 'I put out my fat, and that's what brought him down."' Evi dently this was against the rules, but any how " Paddy " scored. There was a wonderful "coming of age" celebration in London recently. Sixty guests sat down at the Trocadero Restaur ant to a dinner which cost the giver of the feast close upon £IOOO. Mr E. A. Robinson, a younger son of the late Mr Peter Robin son, of Oxford-street, was the bountiful host, and he was endeavouring to commem orate in a fit and worthy manner not only the fact that he was just 21 years of age, but the further and not less interesting fact that he was entitled to about £300,00), his share of the million sterling or more left by his father. Everything was of the most expensive kind. There was Moet and t'handon Dry Imperial (1889) at 44s a mag num, and Chateau hafitte (1877J at two guineas a magnum, and liquer i:i the shape of Courvoisier's 1815 brandy at half-a crown a glass. It was net only a dinner : it was also a concert. Thirty-three of the most eminent ladies and gentleman from the music halls were especially retained to "look in" between 11 p.m, and 4 a.m. to en liven the after-dinner prcCiedings with the latest and choicest ditties on the board. Mr A. Jameson, writing from Deniliquin, New South Wales, in regard to the condi tion of the settlers, states that to his mind the country is face to face with a national disaster, and unless strong and urgent steps are taken a very large proportion of existing settlement may be abandoned altogether. " Generally speaking," he adds " the small settlers are in debt to financial institutions or the States. Their means are exhausted, storekeepers cannot give them any more credit, they have no stick, no crops, no pasturage, and there is the long summer before them. The Edward river, upon which the Deniliquin is situated had no flood or snow waters this year for the first time on record. The river gauge registers Ift to Oft. The same condition of affairs applies to all the rivers in the Riverina—the Murray, Murrumbidgee, Lachlan, and Darling. If the settled terri tories are abandoned years and years will elapse before the settlers will have confi dence to reinhabitate them." Mr Jameson suggests that a general movement should be started with a view to aiding all dis tressed settlers throughout the State. inything the Empire Company sell Is good-and a guarantee Is given to any one that asks For our Famous Empire Blue SPRAINS are often more serious than broken bones on acconnt of not being pro perly treated.

Another clause provides that any person found in a hotel during prohibited hours (not being a lodger), unless for a lawful purpose, is liable to a fine not ex ceeding £2. In the Supremo Court at Hobart re cently in the case of Pearce v. the Crown, plaintiff obtained damages amounting to ■£-30 for injuries received in a fall caused by a poliflbmau pushing him forcibly in the execution of his duty. The majority of the jury held that plaintiff was doing no harm, and that force was unnecesssary. During the past two months (the South Gippsland correspondent of the Melbourne Leader reports) the prospects of the farmers have improved beyond the most sanguine anticipations. No Gippslander remembers a better Although late in coming, the spring could not be better ; both pastures and crops are looking splen did. Dairying also is being earned on tins season under the most I'avourabic condi tions. It will be seen by advertisement that an Australian tenor singer has taken up his residence in Hamilton for the summer months, and is prepared to receive pupils for singing and voice production only, lie is a pupil of the great teacher, Signor Cecci, who taught Madame Melba for six years prior to her leaving for England. Letters addressed as per advertisement will be at tended to. According to a telegram from Irkutsk, in Siberia, a huge rent of recent formation has been discovered on the side of Mount Verkholensky. It was thought at first that the fissure was the result of volcanic action, but it has been found on close ex amination by geologists that the steam and whitehot exudations thrown out from the rent are due to spontaneous combustion of the coal schists under the surface of the mountain. The absorbing topic in Cambridge just now is the Anglican Bazaar to be held on next Wednesday Final arrangements are now being made, and everything points to a great success. To allow country friends to come, and get home in time for the milk ing, the doors will be opened at noon. In the evening a splendid musical programme will be given, including voices quite new to a Cambridge audience. There has been some misconception as to the date of the bazaar, Jit is on the loth (next Wednesday). Our advertising columns will give our readers all particular ■. At an auction sale at the Cliristchureh Police Station of unclaimed goods, one bidder picked up for three shillings a swag containing, amongst other articles, a razor of artistic workmanship, estimated to be worth about a guinea. Certain other bidiers were not so fortunate. One man paid 7s 6d for a bangle which looked like gold, but was good brass, worth Is 6d. The greatest " bargain " of all consisted of the remnants of what had once been a guitar. These remnants, estimated to be worth about 6d, were knocked down for 12s. Two bicycles were sold—one, a man's, realised £5; the other, a woman's, brought only Ts 6d. A iilip to the export trade of Auckland is now being given by the New Zealand Ship ping Company, who are making it the final port of departure for tho Company's steamers loading New Zealand produce for England. One of the vessels, the Wakanui, is at present loading at Queen-street wharf on te eve of her departure for Great Bri ain, and if inducement is offered by the farmers and merchants, the movement will be continued. Ono of the benefits to ex porters in Auckland is set forth in a report by the Government grader in Wellington who states that buttei leaving Auckland at a temperature of degrees rises to over 30 degrees on the journey between Auck land and Wellington, which means a great deal to the quality of the butter and event ually to its price in Great Britain. The present system of instruction in butter and cheese-making and the intelli gent support given by factory managers has been responsible for a vast improve "lnent in the quality of New Zealand pro duce. The Department of Agriculture is now able to follow up more closely the poorer brands of butter and cheese, and this is the more important from the fact that the factories most in need of assist ance never requisitioned or asked for assistance, but, trusting to the judgment of tin' manager, they in some cases pro duced an inferior article for several days. Under the present system of voluntary visits to factor! js as often as possible, defects are* soon noticed and corrected. The benefit of the present system of grad ing has already impressed itself upon directors of cheese factories, who, with the indications of defects received from the Department, quickly move in the direction of remedying defects. The Colonists of the Dominion of Canada are supposed to be trying to capture the British butter market, and they have found that some of their shipments have been deteriorated by mould, which has appeared on the paper separating the butter and the containing box. This mould is a minute plant of fungus, which like the microbe •must bo destroyed by au antiseptic. No sooner is the existence of the fungus made known than the energetic Department of Agriculture steps in and tells the farmer how to get rid of the mischief. A circular is sent out, which savs:—Mould can only come from pre-existing mould, or from spores, and if the spores be destroyed, the mould cannot begin to grow. Formalin is effective destroyer of fungi and their spores," and therefore the dairyman is ad vised to make a brine containing an ounce of formalin to a gallon of brine, and to use paper;that has been soaked in the solution. This simple scientific fact may be worth many thousands of pounds per annum to the Canadian butter trade, and its diffusion among the farmers will justify a little paternal government, which after all is a very good thing in its place.

Judge Docter, of Sydney, a few days ago gave an important decision at Grafton af fecting the liability of persons who drive trespassing stock from their premises. Two cattle dogs were set on to a mare, and she galloped over a barbed wire fence, sustain ing injuries which eventually caused her death. The owner sued for the value of an animal. The Judge decided to nonsuit, on the ground that the setting on of cattle dogs was a proper means of clearing tres passing stock, and that the owner of the dogs could not be made liab'e for any dam age resulting from his lawful act. If m*s tilfs had been used in place of cattle dogs and they had worried the mare, the defen dant would then have been liable. There was a good aftendanco at the Hamilton Presbyterian Church, last evening, on the occasion of the annual soiree.

About ten years ago, George Nipper, then a wealthy cattle buyer in the Iniian Territory. U.S., left for Texas with ,£1,200 for the purpose of buying cattle in Sou thern Texas and shipping to Indian Terri tory. He landed safely in Houstan, Tex., and from that place it could not be learned where he went, and after that nothing more was heard of him, and the people of Indian Territory accepted the theory that he had been murdered and robbed. Mrs Nipper waited three years for his return and finally accepted the theory that her husband had been killed, and married again. Early last September the missing man was seen and recognised begging alms at Denver, Colorado, and on being ques tiono 1 by a former neighbour stated that when cattle buying in Texas he had been suddenly stricken with paralysis. He lay for nine years in the hospital being unable to make known his name and place of resi dence. His memory gradually passed away and upon his release from the hospital he wandered aimlessly about, not even know ing his right name or whence he came. In this wretched condition he remained until the sight of his former friend and the con versation that followed gradually restored his memory. THE FINANCIAL SITUATION.

THE PRICE OF BREAD. (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, Yesterday. The question of raising the price of bread owing to increased flour quotations is to be considered by the master bakers next week. The master bakers claim they are losing money now, and state that if the price of flour is increased again, as is said to be likely, they will have to raise the price to fourpence per 2lb loaf or give up business As for importing flour, one representative of the trade said tliey had no chance, be cause the usual source, Australia, has none, and Canada was the only country in the world which has a good wheat harvest. All other countries had been short. If they brought Manitoban flour they would be still worse* off, because of the cost of im portation. When he imported some Mani toban flour he found it cost £3 a ton more than was charged for New Zealand flour. He believed the scarcity of flour wae likely to last till the new season's flour came upon the market in March or April next He said the master bakers had been very fairly by the Millers' Association, thai; the latter body could not help the increased ' cost of flour in view of the scarcity of wheat.

The Chairman remarked that the Eureka Road was a most important one, as eventu ally it would be the principal road between Hamilton and Morrin.sville. EUREKA ROADS. On behalf of the Xew Zealand Land As sociation, the Chairman asked the Hoard to take over the roads formed through the Estate by the Association. Members had gone over these roads with him and had therefore a good idea of what they were. Mr Farrer moved that the roads be taken over, and the other members expressing approval of the roads, the motion was carried. TRAMWAY ROAD. The Chairman brought before the Board tho question of the Tramway Road. He thought they should puta new culvert at Mr Crosby s and make a deviation instead of going over the hill before getting out of the Woodlands boundary. The formation of this road has been on the books for some time. He pointed out that in the course of two or three months he would be calling for the formation of a considerable length of road, possibly about seven miles. Farrer and Primrose inspect the roads and see Mr Crosby re the deviation. PIGS ON ROAD.

Meanwhile the "liouinan ian bulletin " has been colliding the opinions i f English public men on t lie. situa tion, from the Arehbi-nop of C iiiterlmry and Mr t 'haiuoerlain to Oeneral Hoo'h : and one and all express disapproval, as is only to be expected for sect I'urp seless cruelty to a race that makes such good citizens. It ap peals that M. Sturdza, the Roumanian Pre mier, who is responsible for the present persecution, is a strong Roumanian Nation alist, and therefore regards the collective spirit of the Jews as a. danger to his coun try. He complains that in fifty years the •Jews in li'ouiuania have increased from oO.UiH.) to 2.10,00 *. The answer to this is obvious, it the increase arises from iminigra tion the remedy is for h' .mnania to legis late against Jews as America does against pauper aliens: but if the increase is in nat ural-born Roumanian subjects, that State has no right to drive these poor creatures in a starving condition into neighbouring territory.

VERMONT WOOLS. W i iting on tho London wool sales, under date October <Jth, the Sydney Morning Heralds correspondent says:—What then can be said as to the outcome and final results of the sale of \ ennont wools at the recent London auctions? hirst and fore most, the good prices paid show dis tinctly that a bit of good, shatty combing wool still sells, no matter by what name it is known. Buyers to day look at the wool itself, and if the staple is line in quality, sound in growth, good length, sliaftv, will comb, then that is all that buyers want to see. Again, 1 say the price paid by users is the best guarantee of whether wools are suitable or otherwise to the trade, ff \ ennont wools are selling at halt the price of other merino clips, then there would be solid ground for complaint, jbut so long as prions are good and satisfactory, no complaint can be offered on Ihe ground of these wools being unfit for manufacturing purpsoes. l, ,j t t!i! v be well maintained, and then breeders can go forward in point of density as much ay ever they like. RURAL ENGLAND. A correspondent of the London Daily News declares that "rural Eng land is in danger of being cut up in to rectangular slices of "twenty-five feet frontage and an average depth of one hundred and twenty feet." Al most daily throughout the summer a marquee is set up on some estate more or less contiguous to a seaside or other town, and here the plots are knocked down singly or in bunches to those who have partaken of the ven dor's hospitality, The ease with which agricultural values can be converted into speculative building values is astonishing. Two years ago, while walking from Brighton to Newhaven, I passed through a place called Tols combe Cliff. Here some almost waste land had been sketched out into a town site, and the turf cut off, re vealing strips of chalk that signified roads. The nearest station and al most the nearest house were three miles away, and yet the plots had been sold a few weeks previously at from sixty to one hundred ponnds a piece. This means between eight and twelve thousand an acre, instead of agricultural value of not more than fifty." A ROYAL QUARREL. The painful quarrel between the King of the Belgians and his daughter, the unhappy Princess Steph anie, at the funeral of the Queen, ap pears to have attracted a good deal of attention on the Continent, and to have been very freely discussed by the London Press. The King, it will be remembered, positively refused to allow the Princess to attend her mother's funeral, or even to remain in the deatli chamber. When he learnt that his daughter was praying at the bier of the Queen he sent a messenger to her to say that he would not receive her, which was tantamount, of course, to ordering her to leave the place. It was reported in the .Brussels news papers that there had been an angry scene between the King and the Prin cess, but this was probably incorrect, and the lady, who is now Countess Lonyay, when interviewed by a Press representative, assured him that she had not seen her father. When she heard of the Queen's death, she ex plained, she was at Cromer, and like a loving daughter and a patriot she hurried to Spa, in order to render the last honours to her mother. But shortly after her arrival she re ceived an intimation from the King that herpresence was not required and with more dignity than had been dis played by her Boyal parent, she packed up her belongings and crossed to Eng land. The Chronicle commented upon the incident with the utmost frankness "The Princess," it said, " was prac tically driven from the' side of her dead mother by the father, who would not set eyes upon her. Had the Princess sought illicit consolation for a life half wasted, the King of the Belgians might plead some reason though, he would still be without ex cuse—for turning his back upon her. But the" truth is that the Princess Stephanie, having made a political marriage with the heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne, turned after the disgraceful death of her hus band, to an honourable union with the man of her choice. The King of the Belgians, it seems, will condone any thing but what he considers a mesal liance, and the Countess Lonyay has tearfully to leave the side of her dead mother, where her moral right in finitely trannends that of the hus band." The King has certainly gained nothing in popularity from the incident, and his own subjects are re ported to be very indignant at his I heartless treatment of his daughter.

To date 52,000 bales of wool have been sold to Home buyers, 42,500 bales to Con tinental buyers, and 1500 to American buyers. Five thousand were held over. Compared with the October series superior nieriuos advanced 5 per cent; medium in feriors, (JJ percent; fine crossbreds, 7| per cent; medium, lu to ]5 per cent; and low, 25 per cent. There are corresponding pei cent, advances in lambs' wools. The pre vailing opinion is that merinos are on a solid basis, but crossbreds are doubtful. Their ri3e is due to consumers being caught short. It is expected new year's supplies from Buenos Ayres will relieve the tension. The total catalogued was 101,275 bales, of which 98,019 bales were sold. WHEAT. LONDON, December 7. The English wheat market is inactive; the Contiental market is easier, and the American is firm.

Messrs Arthur Tooman aud Co., Auction eers, Auckland, report strong demand with heavy sales in all lines. The potatoe market has been left unusually bare, and old ones are quite out of the question. Heavy orders have been on hand, and the new crop of supplies has been far under requirements, and unfortunately, owing to the keen demand, and ready sajes, farmers , are sending forward many lots which in former years would have been unsaleable. At the present time, there are very few good samples coming in at all. We quitted large lines for export to Fiji and for the Southern markets. Poultry. Heavy surmlies have come for ward, consisting principally of late out hens, for which the market was lower. Table roosters were in short supply, while hardly any turkeys came forward. Butter r/as scarcer, while eggs advanced about 3d per dozen, drain and fodder remain un changed. The fruit market was firm, aud supplies of gooseberries came in freely from the Waikato and (iisborno aud main tained good prices.

The advent of fresh and vigorous com petitors in the race for national com mercial supremacy always causes a ripple of excitement, curiosity and chagrin among those nations who, from long custom and exclusiveness, had heretofore considered themselves as being the only possible contestants. Such disorder amongst the butter-pro ducing countries was evident when Siberia, previously but erroneously looked upon as being fit only for the habitation of unfortunate Russian exiles, suddenly blazoned forth as a serious factor in the produce world. In 1898 the first appreciable shipment of grain and fresh butter from this comparatively unknown quarter was placed on the London markets, and the dairying countries of the world have since had to reckon with an ever increasing and steady im proving supply. Every device has being availed of in order to foster and establish the industry, one of the latest being the granting by the Go- vernment uf a sum equal to £17,000 to the principal Agricultural Society in Russia, the greatest part of whieh will he utilised in arranging for periodic visits of Russian agricul turists and produce dealers to the markets exploited by the Russian trade. Experimental shipments to Great Britain and elsewhere are being promoted, and so far everything points to successful and thriving commercial enterprise. But as'a set-off to this cheering pros pect, there are two potent factors, the one affecting Siberia in particu lar ; the other, the whole of the Rus sian Empire, its policy and its future. And a study of these will show that for some years to come, at all events, the competition from this quarter cannot become as keen as some would make out. New Zealand, with its natural boun ties and the happy condition of its people, has nothing to fear from Russian competition. As every schoolboy knows, for the greater part of the year the ports of Si beria are useless, being blocked with ice : this natural drawback lias, in the past, greatly hindered the settlement of the country, and will, in the future, exert a pernicious influence on the full and free development of her vast resources. The trans- Siberian railway has, of course, done a great deal towards removing the difficulties of transport, but the cost of carriage, from the Eastern States especially, is seriously hampering the export trade. From ten and fifteen days are occupied in the carriage from this part of the province to the Baltic, and then the goods have to bear the cost of sea-carriage. The second and most serious clog on the wheels of of progress : a clog that will, even tually, completely stop the onward march unless urgent remedial measures are applied ; and one which will per chance involve the European countries in one long disastrous war ; is the seething, semi-suppressed, and right eously rebellious striving of the peasants against the tyranny of the nobles. The late violent method.* of the Nihilist-shave given way to a quiet er, but none-the-less dangerous pro panda of the principles of revolt. How often do we hear of riotous out breaks amongst the students of the universities ? These are the men to whom, in days to come, the labourer and the peasant farmer, by far the greater proportion of the people, will look for guidance in political matters. Educationally, Russia is the most backward country in Europe; her population, ignorant and therefore nar ro'iv-niindt'il and bigoted, is composed of many mens, speaking eneli its own language and professing entirely diiV eivnt and, in some cases, violently opposing religions: of the total populaiion of about I-"..">,ih)o.<Mlo, 71).i/(H.).(MH> are Slavs (of whom about "),UIIU,IKJI.J a,v Poles) ; Lithuanians. Finns, (iernians, Tartars. -lews. Armenians and a variety of Asiastic peoples make up the rest of the mixed medley. 'Hie Czar, autocrat as he is. has great dilliculfv in keep ing the peace between these diverse races, and the only saving power has been the blind faith of the masses that the " Little Father " will bring them out of their ditiiculty. Put in his latest speeches at Kursh the Czar has shown plainly that his sym pathies are entirely with the ruling class. In his first speech lie addressed a gathering of nobles and declared that their class had constant ly enjoyed the favour of its rulers for its loyal and unsellish servieeto the throne and to the country. The system of landed estates, he said, had for ayes been the mainstay of order and mor ality in Russia and that its mainten ance would be an object of his con stant solicitude. He referred to the " severe crisis in the affairs of the nobility, " and alluded, with much less concern, to " the disordered condition of the peas ants.'' Cue might suppose from this that the nobles, and not the peasants, had been the chief sufferers from the long years of of famine, that they, and not then tenants, had been driven to rioting, and that they, and not the starvin'' serfs, had been flogged and shot down by the soldiery. The second speech was to the members of the district councils, an inferior body having merely local powers, and the Czar reminded frhem that their work lay in the sphere of local economic questions, and not among the great national prob lems to which they had lately aspired. The third speech was that of an autocrat pure and simple. Address ing the neighbouring peasantry, the '•Little Father''rebuked them sternly for the rising last spring, threatening dire punishment for any further trans gressions. " Listen to your local nobility," he said, " and do not believe such nonsensical rumours." These speeches must con vince the observer that the Czar of all the Hussites is completely out of touch with the great mass of his subjects, and that therefore when the leaven of sedition and discontent has reached such a stage that the peasantry must be rudely awakened from their dream of redress at the hands of the in ruling that catastrophe must inevitably follow. The position is fraught with grave danger ; the future holds its own secrets; but no one will be surprised if what happened in France under similar circumstances should happen in Russia. LOCAL AND GENERAL An article entitled "England and Her Colonies" will be found ou our fourth page. The exodus from Victoria to South Africa has fallen off considerably during the last few weeks. As a result of the drought the losses in the Dubbo district (N.S.W.) have been appalling. The wool clip will probably yield, at best, £6.5,000 ; cattle, nothing; horses, nothing; and wheat, nothing. Rosa Orengo, a youngiltalian lady, has been found chamed and half-starved in a subterraneau den at Dolceda. It is al leged that she had been thus ill-treated by certain rel itives -who wished obtain pos session of her fortune of £BOOO. A " tramp ball " is the latest American seciety iumvation. The guests are re quired to wear the tramp costume. The men will wear tattered coats, ragged trou sers, battered shoes, and shabby hats, and carry the empty tomato-cans which are the American tramps drinking-cups. The ladies make an equally disreputable ap pearance. It is computed that American million aires havegiven £77,000000 to charitable and philanthropic objects during the past nine years. Mr Pierpont Morgan is credited with having distributed in this way just under £300,000. Mr Carnegie's benefac tions, however, exceeded six millions up to the end of last year. Mrs Leland Stanford gave a corresponding amount in one dona tion last year. Her gifts, with those of her late husband, total ten million pounds. Lloyd's annual wreck statistics show that including vessels of less than 100 tons, the total losses for the whole world, during 1001 amounted to 80G vessels of 662,568 tons. Of this total, 2GS vessels of 366,584 tons were steamers, and 538 of 295,984 tons were sailing vessels. As regard stea mers, the present return exceeds the aver age of the previous ten years by 5097 tons, although the number is 13 below the aver age ; as regards sailing vessels, it is below the average by 260 vessels and 70,465 tons. Some weeks ago Major-General Sir Edward Hutton recommended that Major K Leuehan, who was connected with the Bushveldt Carbineers in South Africa, should be asked to retire from the Federal Forces. Sir William Lyne, who was Acting Minister for Defence at the time, submitted official records in respect to Major Lenehan to the several members of the Ministry, but no action was taken. Sir John Forrest, who was in England at the time, has now decided to go into the whole question again de novo. A story of the perilous adventures of a crew who were for 25 days on a desert isle has been brought to England by the French liner Irrawaddy. The Swedish barque Adelaide, during a terrible gale in Mozam bique Channel, was cast ashore on the desert island of Juan Denova, where for nearly a month the crew underwent the greatest privations. With starvation star ing them in the face the men at last de cided to put to sea in one of the damaged boats, and were not picked up until they were on the point of death from want of food.

The total area of improved land in llawkes Kay is n..w 2,0(W,8:«7 acres—an in crease of 150,".01 acres for the year. Sheep show a decreas" of 0220, but this is more than made up for by the marked increase in cattle, there being now 1].">,61-2, or an in crease of almost 10.000 head for the twelve months. Horses have increased by 1000 and pigs decreased by :ioßo. '" We know the market; give us the pro duce !" is the cry of a class, not very large, that believes New Zealand suffers more from the smallness of her production than from want of markets. The truth of this is evident. Great Britain takes on aggre gate of over 386,000,00011) of butter yearly. The expoit from New Zealand to' Great Britain last year was only eighteen and a half million pounds. The Agent-General has received the handsome carved Maori box, containing photographs of New Zealand, which the Government is presenting to Baron Roth child, in gratitude for his gift of two Shire stallions to the colony. Some of the photographs,which have been much admired have become slightly detached from the mounts, and as soon as this defect has been remedied, the box and its contents will be forwardp.d to Baron Rothschild at Tring. The following were the chief items of the cargo taken to Sydney by the Monowai from Wellington on Saturday evening : From Wellington: 40 cases frozen fish, 32 cases cheese; Bluff: 2027 sacks oats; Dim edia: 120 sacks wheat, ,11 cases cheese, 107 cases frozen fish, 23 sacks polhrd ; Lyttel tou: 744 sacks wheat, 100 sacks oats, 120 sacks chaff, 149 sacks potatoes, 70 sacks pol lard, 22 cases cheese, 11 cases hams; New Plymouth : 30 cases cheese. On his visit to Waikato, the Government poultry expert found the new poultry station at Ruakura in full swing. There is already a very fine hit of young stock from the recently imported birds, and everything is now well in hand for the supply of eggs of any breed. There is nearly double the number of stock this year that there wus last. The rule is to sell eggs up to the end of November. Attention is then paid to the breeding, and the young sto-'k are ready for grading and distributing in March. The Government poultry expert has re" turned from the south; where he found the industry showing encouraging signs. One firm in Dunedin has just received an order for 30,000 fowls for South Africa. The Christehurch depot is already very busy, ah.-uit Km) head of poultry being put through every day. This will probably be trebled al an early date. Taking the. whole of the depots, mure birds have already passed through this season than for the whole of last season. Last year the export was 38,000, and Mr Hyde anticipates that by Hie end of the present financial year the output will be 100,000 head. The season will shortly be in full swing. In recent years the motto of Glasgow City has been shortened from " Let Glas gow Flourish by the Preaching of the Word " to " Let Glasgow Flourish " ; and a campaign to restore the missing words has failed. It was probably the agitation on the subject that led to this being among the questions in a recent general know ledge paper at a Glasgow school: What is the completion of the following : " Let Glasgow Flourish "? One bright boy gave " Let Glasgow Flourish by All Means," and the version of another was " Let Glasgow Flourish by Fair Means or Foul." Good progress is being made with the various pieces of statuary commissioned h jre for the colony. Mr Lucchesi's statue o: Peace for the Auckland Domain was shipped by the Turakina last month. Mr Alfred Drury's statue for the same destina tion will be rea4y at the end tf this month. The pedestal of Mr "Williamson's statue of Queen Victoria has already been shipped, and the statue itself will be ready at the end of this month. Mr H. Pegram having finished his clay model of the bust of Sir John M'Kenzie, has begun operations on the marble bust, and has also in hand a bust of Mr S. H. Drew, of Wanganui, found*r and curator of the "Wanganui Museum. An exciting incident occurred on the voyage of the K.M.S. Sierra, from Auck land to Sydney. Early in the forenoon of the day of sailing from New Zealand, when the ship was reeling off her eighteen miles an hour, and when the passengers were seated at breakfast, one of the officers whispered something to Commander Houd lette, who at once went on the bridge. From the deck a curious sight presented itself. As the Sierra lifted her sharp prow to the swell of the sea it was seen to be im bedded in a monster whale, and the foam of the ship's way, which should, of course, be snowy white, was a deep crimson from the jjush of blood from the wounded leviathan. The great weight clinging to the bow hindered to some extent the ship answering quickly to her helm, so that Commauder Houdlette had her stopped, and then backed away from the monster. The whale quickly sank, having apparently been killed by the collision. Mr Andrew Carnegie, in his address at Liverpool last month, said Scotland was now almost finished as a field of library found ing, and applications for libraries in Scot . land were now few; and for small com munities. England was not so far advanced but would soon be supplied if the applica tions continued to co-ue in as they had done during the past few months. In the month of July 22ti applications were re ceived for money to build libraries, mostly fiom England and Ireland, though one came from Dunedin, in New Zealand, which was, of course, granted at once, and another from Hobart, in Tasmania. Mr Carnegie went on to say that there was much discussion as to the excessive use of fiction in public libraries, but his ex perience was that it was a great point s<a : ned when anyone was attracted to any thing in the form of a book, unless it was distinctly pernicious. He thought, how eve-, that public library authorities ought o exercise some discretion in admitting books to their shelves. TEN BOLD ASSERTIONS.

Yesterday at St. Mary's Hamilton, was commenced the Forty Hours' Devotion This Devotion was first practised in the year 1534 in the City of Milan, which city was at tha- time desolated with plague and torn by civil strife, .-peaking of this de votion Cardinal Wiseman writes. "Iu no other time or place is the sublimity of our religion so touchingly felt. No ceremony is going on in the sanctuary, no sound of song is issuing from the choir, no voice of exhortation proceeds from the pulpit, no prayer is uttered aloud from the altar. Ther.> are hunireds there, and yet thfy are engaged in no congregational act of worship. Each heart and soul is alone in the midst of a multitude, each uttering its own thoughts, and each feelim* its own grace. Yet are you overpowered, subdued, quelled into a reverential moodi softened into a devotional spirit, forced to meditate, to feel, to pray. The little children wno come in led by a mother's hand kneel down by her in silence, as she simply points towards the altar, overawed by the still splendour before them ; the very babe seems hushed to quiet reverence on her bosom." The decorations are iu white relieved with gold, the work of the convent child ren uuder the guidancs of the sisters. As you look at -.hem you cannot but notice a delicacy of tone which impresses you the more because so uncommon in our day. The devotion will conclude with Mass at 8 o'clock on Tuesday.

WKLLJNYiTUN'.Thia Hay. ~ A recount of the local option poll for Newtown shows that prohibition was carried by four votes. CRICKET. KAXt.iITIIUS v. AKAWAS. Representatives from these teams met on Sat.ll day, under favourable conditions. The outrielding was greatly improved by the grass being cut, and wa- the means of considerably increasing the total of runs. This was the second occasion on which the Arawas and Kangitiras have met this season. <>n the first occasion the Arawas, who had the best team, won rather easily, but on Saturday the Ilaugiuras had revenge, and won very easily by st runs on the first innings. Rangatiras batted first and scored 90 before the last wicket fell. Of this total Worsley contributed hi by wood, sound cricket. He certainly was some what favoured at the outset of his innings, giving two or three sharp chances behind the wickets, but as the innings progressed he made very few mistakes, and did some excellent driving. Dr. Douglas played a good game i2, showing strong defence and clean hitting. J. Hammond was the was the only other player who made a double-figure score, 10. Although the Arawas had the best team they have baen able to put into the field this season, a rot set in and they were all disposed of for 15, Hoklen, who contributed four, being the only batsman who stayed any time. Ross, Who endeavoured to make things merry, ran himself out in both innings. The Arawas followed on, and had lost five wickets for 15 runs, when time was called. For the Rangitiras, Shepherd and J. Ram. mond shared the bowling § honors, the former taking 4 wickets for 6 runs, and the latter 3 for 5. Both bowlers were on the spot, and varied their deliveries consider ably. For the Arawas Holden did best in the bowling department, taking two svickets for 9 runs, W. Hammond was next with 4 for 2(5, Blamires obtained 4 for 62, but hid the misfortune of lo.ing two or three wickets in the field. The following is the score of the Ringatiras : Douglas, b Hammond ... \2 J.

The riew Zealand and African Steamship Company, whose tender for the steamship service between New Zealand and South Africa has been accepted by the Govern ment, was registered at Somerset House last month with a capital of .£250,000 in 25,000 shares of £lO each. The memoran dum of Association allows of trading in all parts of the world. The signatories, each of whom takes one share, and all of whom are shipowners, are—Kenneth Skelton Anderson, Allan Hughes, W. Milburn, junr. Charles Bethell, 0. J. Trinder, A f' Houlder, T. L. Devitt and T. B. Robinson. The officers of the company are at 2, Fenchurch Avenue, and 40, Lime-street,' the addresses of Messrs Birt, Potter and Hughes, and the Federal Steam Navagation Company. These firms and Houlder Bros, have the carrying of the supplies under the Imperial Cold Storage contracts from Australia and New Zealand to the Cape. The combination has had the Surrey and Sussex, belonging to the Fede ral Company, engaged in the trade for some time, and the Drayton Grange, the Oswes try Grange and other vessels managed by Houlder Bros., have, since the commence ment of the war, been employed in Aus tralasian and South African waters. The Federal Company's fleet includes the Corn wall, Kent, Devon, Maori King, Surrey and Sussex. Among the vessels managed by Houlder Bros., are the Oswestry Grange, Haversham. Grange, Beacon Grange, Els tree Grange, Hornby Grange, Langton Grange, Ovingdean Grunge, Rippinghain Grange, Royston Grange, Southern Cross Thorpe Grange and Armston Grange. It is understood that from these fleets the vessels for the new service will be taken. MILK-BLENDED BUTTER. Mr Chas. C. Lance (Commercial Agent in London for New South Wales) writes to his Premier on milk-blended butter on September sth as follows: -"The position in this matter is that the Bill introduced by Mr Hanbury was not dealt with before the close cf the session, and will not again be brought up before October. I under stand that the Agents-General for Victoria and New Zealand urged upon Mr Hanbury that a provision be inserted in the Bill to to the effect that "butterino" should not contain more than the 16 per cent of moisture which is regarded as a limit for butter, This, as I pointed out in my letter of July 4th, would amount to prohibition, as the chief object in manufacturing milk-blended bntter is to increase the weight, thus :—Clause 2 of the Bill reads: "The expression 'butterine' means butter to which any substance has been added whereby the amount of water in the butter is increased." On the assump tion that Australian butter contains 13 per cent of moisture there would, if this sog gestion were adopted, be only 3 per cent extra moisture to be added, which would probably not be sufficient to make its re manufacture worth while. Australian butter is liked for this purpose on account of its dryness, and those who are not against the manufacture argue that it will increase the demand for our butter, and no doubt this would be to the advantage of some of our inferior qualities. On the other hand, extensive purchases for this/ purpose would mean the effacement of our nomenclature and tend to level down our quality, and do away with the incentive to manufacture a light-class article. All things considered, lam of opinion that aa producers, we should be better without " nulk-blendod butter," but as the in terests of the consumers are so strong in this country, I think it is impos sible to secure its prohibition or the insertion in a Bill of any clause that would be tantamount to that. Mr Hanbury has now agreed to introduce the amendments in the Bill to the effect that the sale of "butterine" will be prohibited if containing more than 20 per cent of water; and thas it will be necessary for all " butterine" that contains more than 19 per cent., and less than 20 per cent, of mois ture to be labelled, "adulterated butter." If the Bill can be passed in this form, it will undoubtedly be a great improvement and will, I think, provide all the protection that producers can reasonably look for. and be acceptable to the trade and the agriod. tural societies here.

Mr Suit-on makes, mends a.d sells at very reasonable prices. 'I he absence ot a local branch of some l>ank is a great drawback to the business men in and around kawhia, and it is new quite time that steps- were taken to induce the Hank of New Zealand, which owns one of the best business sites in this township, to establish a branch in this dis trict. The business connected with the coming regatta seems to progress very slowly, and it would appear as if more vigorous action were required on the part of the executive to ensure the success of our annual fete. It would decidedly pay the Executive Com mittee to send some energetic well-known Kawhia resident down to Auckland to pro cure subscriptions, to advertisa tne matter properly, to arrange with the X.S. Com pany about excursion steamers aud to sell tickets. If some such steps be not taken the carnival will be attended by a marked financial failure. The building trade is still very brisk in and around Kawhia, three more new shops at present being in the course of erection, Messrs London and Scott, our local builders being particularly busy in this department of their extensive business.. It was with feelings of considerable plea , sure that the residents of Kawhia learned that after all the Hon. W. Jennings had been elected for the Egraont seat, for this constituency very nearly approaches the Kawhia township, and as many of us are well acquainted with the hon. gentleman we shall look to him in his new sphere of action, to assist in promoting the interests of the Kawhia district. Besides, it is quite likely that Mr Jennings will, eie lontr, oc cupy a seat upon the treasury benches, and in such a posit'on, all the more able to re present our wants to the Government, We all heartily congratulate Mr Jennings upon his well-merited success. The wtaiier is still stormy and bois terous, and the S. S. Gairloch is still bar bound in Raglan—poor hungry, thirsty, long suffering Kawhia. The Waikato Times is becoming very popular in and around Kawhia, and as that paper contains not only local and general news of interest, but gives a good , and comprehensive account of all sales and j markets, and the latest English and Euro pean cablegrams, its circulation should in ■ the near future largely increase in this somewhat isolated district. When we ob tain iv tri-weekly overland mail service, it will be quite refreshing to get the Times thrice a week and thus be brought into more direct communication with the out side world. It is understood here that during the , Christmas holidays we shall have a" visit . from an eminent solicitor from the south, so that those requiring legal services or advice should avail themselves of such a convenient opportunity, but later on fur ther informatien will be given regarding i this matter.

BRITAIN AND HER COLONIES. The cable informs us that the Hon. •Joseph Chamberlain has taken his de parture from London to Smith Africa, amid hearty demonstrations of enthu siasm and confidence. In his visit to the South African colonics Im perialists will recognise a new and important departure and one thai may he held to foreshadow a coining change in the relations hctween the Mother Country ami the offshoot nations who are " daughters in their mother's house, hut mistresses in their own." No British Colonial Secretary has ever before gone on official busi ness to one of the oversea portions of the Empire, though French Colonial Ministers have occasionally visited French colonies. The resolve of Mr Chamberlain emphasises the unerring Imperial insight of our own Premier, for one of Mr Seddon's last acts before-leav ing England seven weeks ago was to urge upon the Colonial Secretary the desirableness of making himself'per sonally familar with conditions and problems in the colonies and of exer cising a more potent influence in the direction of their affairs. The idea I is a thoroughly sound one—it being ' always, of course, understood that there shall be no increase of Imperial control and no corresponding lessen ing of the large measure of liberty and responsibility enjoyed by the British self-governing colonies. \ ( > doubt the existence of special difficul ties in South Africa, at the present time constitutes the main reason of Mr Chamberlain's mission ; and it maybe expected that certain journal istic gossips will associate the visit with that indefinite " something " for Mr Seddon which has already formed the theme of much ingenious speculation. That, it will be but the first of many such visits to the different divisions of the Empire is, however, a fair inference. The im portance of the mission is proved by the notice bestowed on it by the British press and by the fact that it is to extend over three months. To us it seems likely that, in addition to cementing .British interests and smoothing over racial jealousies, Mr Chamberlain will endeavour to lay the foundations of a South African Feder ation. Should he succeed in doing these tilings, he will accomplish a great Imperial work, and will earn the grateful admiration of all Imperialists. Looking to the future, it would seem that Australasia might next claim a visit from the Colonial Secretary. While neither the people of this country nor those of the Com monwealth would invite or tolerate any interference in their domestic concerns there are other matters that.Mr Cham berlain might with pie it inquire into. For example there is the question of the future of Fiji and of the Xew Hebrides, which ought to lie settled in a way that will prevent the recurrence of trouble, and consolidate the power of Britain in these seas. The pro gress of Mr Chamberlain's South African mission will be watched with the keenest interest. All the tact, judgment and firmness of which he is possessed will be required to solve the problems that await him ; but should he prove equal to the occasion, which can be hardly be doubted, the new departure will be amply justified and we in Australasia will look for ward with every confidence and pleas ure to seeing him in our midst.

NOTICE TO CORRESPONDENTS. Inquirer (Te Awamutu). —Your order is a fairly large one. We have taken the figures as supplied by the Press Associa tion, aud find that 22(5,000 (in round numbers) voted for Government candi dates at the last General Election. In dependents came next with 82,0j0 votes, Opposition followers numbered 70,0(J0, and those who stood directly in the in terest of Prohibition 12,200. There were two or three who stood exclusively as Labour representatives, but they were evidently not the candidates accepted by the Party. These candidates polied 800'J votes. We naturally expect that some difference of opinion will exist as to the distinction between an Oppositionist and an Independent. The great majority of those who style themselves Independents are very distinct from the old Opposition party, and many of them have extremely advanced ideas, and would consider it a great insult to be classed among the party previously led by Sir W r . Russell. Much greater difficulty is experienced in giving anything like an inadequate idea on the licensing vote, and until the ques tion has been carefully gone into by the authorities we cannot expect to get within a few thousand of the correct re sult. However, our computation is that 150,000 voted for Prohibition, 140,000 for Continuance, and 132,000 for Reduction. The Waikato Times THAMES VALLEY GAZETTE, AND KAWHIA ADVOCATE. THE OLDEST DAILY NEWSPAPER IN THE WAIKATO. TUESDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1902. A DISTRICT HIGH SCHOOL FOR HAMILTON. Th.vxks cliiclly to the persistency and energy with which the project was en gineered by the chairman, Mr J. R. K. Hat-rick, and the secretary, Mr E. White, the Hamilton West School Committee have at hist obtained the sanction of the Minister for Education to the establishment of a District High School at Hamilton. In these days of keen business competition the truth of the axiom "the weaker goes to the wall," is every day forced upon us, and with no greater sternness and relentlessness than in the case of those whose education has been either unfitted for their station in life, or wholly neglected. Modern con ditions are such that some can safely ignore the opportunities afforded for self improvement and advancement. Parents will therefore be thankful that such an institution has been established here, and we have no doubt will loyally support the Committee in its praiseworthy ellbrts to provide secondary educa tion for our children. At present the number of pupils guaranteed is only one above the minimum for which a grant towards the salary of a quali fied teacher is paid, and if the school is to prove a success, it- is imperative that more scholars should attend. The teaching profession, to our mind, is the noblest and most responsible in the social and moral sphere ; the schol ars are at a most impressionable age, when the example and dogma of the teacher may make or mar the bud ding career. Too many of our tea chers are content to impart the mere rudiments of learning, totally ignor ing the principles of true education. Therefore it behoves these respon sible, to select for the mastership a gentleman of erudition and of goodly pares both of mind and of body ; one who in all things will command the respect and friendship of the scholars and merit- the confidence of the parents. Such a gentleman must be adequately remunerated and from an utilitarian point of view it is incumbent that the number of pupils should increase. We understand that the school will be established after the New Year holidays at the Hamilton West School, under ' the direction of Mr Worsley. ft is not anti pated that any material change will take place at the inception of the school with the exception that an extra teacher will be needed. The re quirements of the building are con sidered sufpeient for the present, but, should the number of scholars in crease, more accommodation will be re quired, and there is every reason to be lieve that this will be attended to. However, we are confident that once the parents in the neighbourhood fully realize that the District High School is permanently established, that no paucity of scholars will ever give cause for doubting the wisdom of the step. In the meantime, those who in any way aided in the further ance of the scheme are worthy the thanks and congratulations of the whole community.

At the meeting of the Cambridge branch of the Waikato Farmers' Club on Monday next, Mr Black more will read a paper en titled "The Dairy Cow." As this is a subject on which Mr Bla-ckinore can speak with some authority, members should profit greatly from the information to be given. Mr William Richardson, the temperance lecturer, who was arrested in default of his not having paid the fine of £2 'and costs iuiiicted upon him for disturbing Sir Joseph Ward's meeting at the Choral Hull on October 2oth, is now undergoing a fort night's imprisonment- in Mt. Eden Gaol. Mr Richardson is treated at the gaol like an ordinary offender, and is at present engaged in some work in the quarries. The amount of the fine was raised by the Temperance Crusaders, but Mr Richardson objected to the tine being paid. Realising the importance to the Waikato of the fast developing poultry raising in dustry and in order to cater for the tastes of those who are interested in it either as a means of livelihood or for pleasure, we have decided to publish every Tuesday a column of " Practical Poultry Notes,' and shall endeavour to make this feature of our journal at once attractive and useful. Any notes or suggestions which fanciers may send will receive prompt attention and earnest consideration. The first instalment will be found on page four of this issue. After long and wearisome correspon dence the establishment of a district high school for Hamilton is now assured, the secretary of the Hamilton West School Committee having received a letter from the Auckland Education Board stating that the Minister for Education had sanc tioned the establishment of such school, ft was pointed out that the number of pupils eligible were the minimum at which a grant would be paid towards the salary of an additional teacheV. Information was also required as to the subjects members of the present teaching staff were competent to teach. Miss L. Cubitt, daughter of the Rev. L. L. Cubitt, vicar of Christ Church, Whan i--ii'ci, was married at Christ Church, Whangarei, to Mr Castleton, of Hamilton, last week, the bride's father officiating. Two sisters of the bride were bridesmaids. The bridegroom is a son of Mr Castleton, of the Brigade Office, Auckland. After the ceremony the party and friends partook of breakfast, and the happy pair left by the s.s. Wellington, for Auckland, proceeding thence to their new home at Hamilton. That the dairying industry is flourishing over the ranges was evidenced this morn ing, when a large load of milk cans left Messrs ilardley Bros.' workshops for Mr W. J. Smith's Raglan butter factory. The butter from tins factory (Staple brand) is well-known throughout the Auckland dis trict, and meets with a ready sale. Mr Smith has a fully equipped factory in full swing, a creamery in course of erection, and before n :xt season two others will be erected. Mr Smith is to be complimented on his enter prise. The outlook for a larger demand for poultry aud its appurtenances in the coming season from all paits of America is beyond doubt. Everything indicates one of the greatest years in the history of the poultry business. Breeders are caring for every bird with the certainty that they cannot supply the demand for first-class stock, tanners and fanciers have enough money to purchase the. best and it will go quickly when an effort is made to let it be known. We predict, that the demand will call out every bird obtainable of even fair quality, and that very few good specimens will go for market stock.—American Fanciers' Gazette. Our Manawaru correspondent writes : The weather has been very cold lately with rough winds, but on Friday we had a nice rain and to-day (Saturday) it is quite sum mer weather. The new well at the Mana waru Creamery is nearly finished, but the contractors have had a great deal of trouble with the steam pump. The farmers in Te Aroha West are very un decided what to do next year. Some are in favour of joining Mr Spragg, some the I hames \ alley Coy., some Messrs Arnbury and English, while others are talking of starting a Co-operative on their own account. The milk tests this week are rather low 3.S being the highest. Love troubles provide the theme for the fun iu " On and Off,'' and at the Opera House, Wellington, recently, they were re flected in the audience. A Jack tar in the stail-i made violent love to a not unwilling lady who accompanied him, but failed to coniine his amorous attentions to when the lights were lowered. His affection overcame him during an interval, and in full view of the audience he clasped his companion to his manly breast and implanted warm kisses on her lips. The members of the pit were overjoyed, and in their usual manner cheer ed the sailor on. He resented remaiks made, aud walking up to the pit challenged all and sundry to fight. His language, like his love, was hot, and he used expressions that caused a policeman to remove him from the- theatre. Pacifying counsels pre vailed, and on promising to restrain his emotions he was allowed to return to his lass. The incident w-is one of the most amusing of the evening. A iunny story is t«>ld at (he expense of a well-known resident at Mahakipawa (Have -1 K-k ''leelorate). b\>r mauy elections this old identity ha; boasted that he was never on the iosing side, and after the poll was declared last week he was crowuino- as usual about having voted for the ultimate winner. " Charlie Mills can't lose," said he ; " 1 voted for hiui every time, and have just voted for him at Tlie Grove." The joke was apparent when the return came in from that quarter, namely, Duncan 11, .Mills nil. is'obody enjoyed the story greater than the Commissioner of Customs. A story to match is the experience of un Opposition candidate, who was promised a block vote of seven from a family acquain tance of his, not 101) miles from Wellin" - - tm. When the returns came to hand it was found that he had not scored a soli tary vote in that locality. What he said afterwards is unprintable. On interview ing the backsliders he was informed that they had elected to record their votes at another polling place, but the candidate refused t -redit the statement, and now they uev .peajj as they pass by, • iio '>ear (\\idliugtua Me.it Company's di\ deud tor the year is 7 3 pur cout.

The action of the Council is adversely commented on and a public Contest is probable. Dr. Grosser, a German scientist, is at present visiting the northern part of the colony, inquiring into and examining vol canic action, both latent and active. He will spend about two months in the colony and then visit other parts of the world on a similar mission, in the interests of science. The teachers of St. Andrews' (Anglican) Sunday-school, at Cambridge, have decided to hold a picnic for the scholars on the 2!) th January. The children will be provided for, adults to bring their own provisions, but hot water will be supplied them. Collectors for subscriptions to meet the necessary ex penses will wait on the parishioners at an early date, In the course of an interview with a Northern journalist, the Hon. James Car roll, .Native Minister, said, provided the Maoris fell in with the idea, and wore pre pared to co-operate with him, he would use his best endeavours to have Maori hos pitals erected in various parts of the co lony. Mr Carroll considers the establish ment of such hospitals of paramount im portance to the Maoris, as the mortality amongst the various tribes has been serious to the point of threatened extinction. On Thursday next Mr W. J. Hunter will hold his usual stock sale at Hamilton. The entries are large, and include a good num ber of fat cattle. There will also be offered on behalf on behalf of Mr C. HutchisoD, of Newstead (who has just sold his farm),'4o first-class dairy cows. Mr Hunter's Nga ruawahia sale takes p'ace the following day, commencing at 11 o'clock sharp. There arc a good number of entries, principally -i and :iyr-old fresh-conditioned steers from the surrounding districts. AYe would again remind our readers that the Hamilton Choral Society's first concert takes place on Friday evening next, when the chief feature of the programme will be Birch's tuneful operetta, " Merrie Men of Sherwood Forest" in which the solos_ will be taken by soloists new to a Hamilton audience. The fiist portion of the entertainment will consist of miscel laneous musical items, and there will be a full chorus, assisted by the orchestra. Tickets, prices 2s and Is, may be obtained from aieuibers of the Society and at Mr J. S. Bond's, or The Waikato Times Office. A poultry-dealer was charged at the Llauduno Police Court (England) with " plucking a fowl while it was alive." When asked what he meant by such a <-ru:'l proceeding, he said he could pluck tlnve living fowls to one dead one, and as lie got 3d and 'ld per bird for the market, it meant, a lot to him. For the defence it was slated that the necks of the birds wero dislocated before any feathers were re moved, and that there was practically no cruelty. I'he bench very properly took* a serious view of the case aud sent the man to prison for three months, hard labour, without the option of a fine. Dr. Henry Van Dyke tells a story of an old Irishwoman who was engaged in the business of chicken raising. One day a travelling man expressed surprise at the use of so much corn meal at feeding time and suggested that the meal should be mixed with sawdust, insisting that ihe hens would not know the difference. A few months later the travelling man was again in the community and be asked if the new diet had been tried and what the re sult had been. "It works beautifully," was the reply. " See that old yellow hen? Well, I tried her on half-and-half, and she liked it so well I changed to all sawdust, and the last time she hatched, three of the' chicks had wooden legs and a fourth was a wood-pecker. The London correspondent of the Even ing Post writes : Some attention here has been directed to a discussion which took place at the meeting of the New Zealand Dairy Association, held at Stratford, as to grading New Zealand butter after its arri val in London, and the advisableness of appointing a Government grader to re ceive and inspect the produce on its ar rival here. The question is undoubtedly an important one, and I have made en quiries in quarters where an opinion is worth the getting. The general view is that such grading and inspection as that suggested are impracticable if not im possible. It is pointed out that the but ter airives her. l in a frozen condition, when it is obviously not possible to grade it. Then it is rapidly discharged, some into railway trucks, some into lighters, alongside ship ; some goes into cold stores and some goes direct into the province . So that it would hardly be possible for a grader to do his work even had he the permission of the owners to handle the goods, which in many cases would be withheld. DEATH FROM POISON SUPPOSED CASE OF SUICIDE A married man named Ernest Bagueley, by profession a cook, and living in Hobson st'reet, Auckland, died yesterday morninc at the Mater 31 esericordiae hospital, Mount Eden, under circumstances which point to suicide. It appears that deceased, who was a man of :iti, had been undergoing the open-air treatment for consumption at the hospital and was making a rapid recovery. Dr. Lowe was at tending him, and at the time of his death he was almost well, and seemed to be in better spirits day by day. He used fre quently to leave the hospital on private business. During last week he gave way to drinking bouts, and he was not seen at all yesterday, and did not return to the main building. The sisters of the hospital were naturally anxious, and at 7 o'clock in the morn ing Sister Mary Agnes noticed that the blinds of the pavilion were drawn. She went across, and on looking in found Bagueley sitting in a chair. Noticing that something was wrong she entered, and found that deceased was suffering consider ably, his mouth and lips being burnt.

Sir,—On crossing tho bridge between Te Rapa and Hamilton on Saturday night last 1 was nearly made sick by the stench from the carcase of a dead cow. The cow, I believe, fell down into a gully, breaking its leg, and had to be killed. Either the people to whom the cow belonged, are not aware of the frightful odour from the de composing body or the authorities are very neglectful of their duties. Please find room for this complaint in your paper The Waikato Times when I hope it will have the eil'ect of rousing up the authorities to a proper sense of their duty by having the nuisance removed. Thanking you in anticipation. lam etc., H. ALEJL. WALLACE, Te Rapa. QUEENSLAND IN DROUGHT TIME. The special correspondent of the Sydney Town and Country Journal writes: — How different everything looks and feels to-day to what it did only four days ago, when I travelled along the same part of the country on my way to Brisbane from Sydney! The heat and sandy dust were almost unbearable, the outlook dry and dreary beyond expression. Yet we hava only had one night's raiu, and the bright sun, blue sky and fleecy white clouds show that the fine weather of which we have all had more than enough shows no signs of permanently breaking up. I had heard a great deal of the general depression and distress prevailing in Qneensland, but individual instances of poverty and downright destitution which are related on all hands by eye-witnesses thereof bring the matter home to one with overwhelming force. Merely in the course of general conversation one hears the most pitiful tales. "The doctor has been down to sign a cer tificate for poor old L ," says one. "He hasn't a sheep, or a cow, or a pig left on his farm, and then there wasn't any tucker left for his wife and children, so he tried to hang himself at the end of an old rope." "Old Mr M——— was one of th) wealth iest of our squatters, and had a large family brought up in every luxury, and now h ; is absolutely ruined. He was the jolliest, kindest old soul, and now he sits for hours with his head in his hands and can't be roused to do anything." The wholesale retrenchment among the Civil servants means a literal hand-to mouth existence in the families who were poor enough before in all conscience ; men and women arc turned away from the business establishments, where no business is doing; bankrupty stares in the face of others, and the employees dread each day lest they should be involved in the common ruin. Fathers of families try m vain to get employment, and the wives and daugh ters turn to, and earn a scanty pittance by dressmaking or handiwork of any kind. One very sad case was mentioned to me, in which the father conld get no work, the daughter, who helped materially to sup port the family, had just undergone an operation for cancer, and the mother was trying to keep the wolf from the door by teaching, while her mind was on the rack from anxiety about the poor girl in hos pital. But what kindness many of these poor folk show to one another ! Each house hold tries to give a helping hand to one poorer still, the most rigid economy is practised on all hands, and nothing is wasted. Tho very children are taught to deny themselves. Some small boys, who received half-a-sovereign between them as • a tip, were persuaded by their mother wil lingly to devote it to buying fodder for the mare, one of the few plump, health looking animals I saw, the cab-horses being for the most part wretchedly thin, their ribs showing through their poor skins. Courage and patient endurance are shown, too, by many of the men. A friend of mine who travelled recently up north, told me that Townsville seemed to be full of squatters, who had come in from the west, having lost literally everything ; but were bearing their losses pluckily, just waiting till the drought should break up to start again, with Anglo-Saxon doggedness and determination. My informant, who as the possessor of a fixed income could afford to be sanguine, told me he believed the new Land Bill, providing for longer leases, would be a substantial help to the squat ters, since it would make the borrowing of money forre-stockingeasier. Meantime, however, one hears the most dismal statistics with regard to this very subject of re-stocking, which will certainly be a matter of time, when it is realised that, whereas a few years ago Queensland had 21 millions of sheep, it has now but seven millions, while the cattle are reduced in almost as great a proportion. Near Brisbane the lucerne hay not long ago was .82 per ton, now it is 14s per cwt; while round about the mulga scrub had been nearly all cut down for feed, and even the prickly pear and bottle brush bave been forced to do duty as a form of nourishment for the cattle.

Captain Peattie, of the Liverpool ship Leicester Castle, has reported at Queenstown that three Americans whom he engaged at San Francisco mutinied 3000 miles northward of Pit cairn Island. They shot him in the breast and killed the second officer. The three sailors then disappeared in a frail raft during the night and were doubtless drowned. A DEVONPOHT SENSATION. A WOMAN OBJECTS TO DOCTpfiS The Coroner (Mr T. Gresham) held as inquest at Devonport (says yesterday's ■Star) at the residence of Mrs' Margaret Ooldie, in Cheltenham-road, concerning the death of Mrs Eva Laura Maodermott, a young married woman who had died without medical attendance. The evidence of Dr. H. C. Bennett was to the effect that the post-mortem examina tion showed that the woman died from some wasting disease. Both luogs were badly diseased, and tuberculosis existed. He was not called in till after her death. The husband, William Edward Mac dermott, said they had married for about 10 months—since August 24, 190 L There were no children. His wife was afflicted with consumption, and on noticing an advertisement in a newspaper concerning the polypathic treatment of a specialist named Albert ' Montgomery Stanley, his wife obtained in interview with the specialist. The head quarters of this person were at Wellington, but the interview took place at the Star Hotel, Auckland. The specialist told his wife her lung 3 and heart were affected. At a later interview witness accompanied' his wife, and was given a card containing a diagnosis of the illness, which he was to send to the dispenser at the Polypathic Medical Institute, at Wellington. Wit ness paid the specialist five guineas. About ten days after the forwarding o£ the prescription a bottle of medicine was received from Wellington, and deceased drank the contents. She wrote for a fur ther supply, and received fair more lories, and a box of morphia lozenges. The five guineas paid covered the cost of four months' treatment, and longer if a cure were not effected. But a cure was not guaranteed. On Friday last his wife's cmgh increased in violence, and she had a sleepless night. In the morning she seemed improved, but she died in the afternoon. His wife had always objected to doctors, and would not allow him to send for one. The inquest was adjourned in order th&t the medicines might be analysed.

WAIPA COUNTY COUNCIL. • ■ ♦ The ordinary meeting of the V.'aipa County Council was held yesterday at the Council Chambers, Ohaupo. There were present: Crs. John Fisher (chairman), 11. J. Hell, P. O'Connor. Vickers, I'. .1, McKinder, S. Steelo, Ed. Allen, l.'yhurn.and S. Fullerton. ROAD AT VRANKT'tN. Mr K. White, Frankton. wrote that a number of residents in his part of the dis trict' desired that the road crossing from the Whatawhata Road, at Wilkinson's corner, and extending to the railway past his place, should be opened up for traffic. Cr. Steel said there were thirds from Mr Thompson's laud available, and that he was agreeable for them to be expended for this purpose. It was right that this road should bo opened up. The Council should serve notice on the property holders to clear the furze, and the work then put in hand by the supervisor.—He moved to that ef fect. This was seconded by Cr. McKinder and carried. SITERVISOR'S REI'HRT. The Supervisor's report was read as fol lows-.—The county work has during the past month made steady, though not rapid progress, so far as contracts are let, bat several still remain untendtred for. Con tract No. 431 work on Bowden's road, is completed : 4W, grading near Morrison's, the heavy part of the work is done; 4:'4, Baterangi Hill, is making fair progress: 431', grading on the Tuhikaramen-Ohaupo Roid, is going on; 430, formation near Te Roi'e, is under weigh; 44', Cambridge Bridge repairs ; the contractor has signed the contract and is now getting his material together. H. Booth has started his work in the Hamilton Riding. Road near Frank ton : In company with Messrs Steele and Fullerton I went over this road, its length is about CO chains ar.d for the greater part of its length it is a mass of furze. If the road is to be opened the first step must be to get this cleared.' As regards the desirability of opening up the road there can be no doubt it would be a public convenience especially to drivers of stock, but at the same time it will not do much to lessen the inconvenience now felt at the FH-ankton railway crossing, it be ing two much of a detour. If the clearing of the roadline is properiy done by owners of sdjacent lands—the cost of making a passable track for driving or for light traffic would not be great, probably from -£2O to X3O. With regard to the other road, on the Hamilton Borough boundary which Mr Steele and I were to inspoct—it now ap pears that this roadline in wholly within the Burough boundary, and therefore we have no responsibility in the matter. Re garding the road near Whatawhata, about which 1 was to see Mr Sutton—Mr Steele and Fullerton interviewed that gentleman when lie promised to do what was required. Tenders have been called and are due here today for two contracts, viz., earthwork en Havelock's hill and cutting a new drain Whatawhata swamp road. kaleyard road, fkankton. A petition signed by 21 residents was read, drawing attention to the unsatisfac tory state of this road, and suggesting that it be formed and gravelled. After some discussion on the legal aspect of the matter it was decided, on the motion of Cr. Steele, seconded by Cr. McKinder, that the letter be referred to the Hamilton Borough Council, as the road is und"r con trol of that body, asking that body to fav ourably consider the prayer of the petitioners. RATES COLLECTED. Mr A. Swarbrick forwarded a cheque for £l'.! Is lud, on account of rates collected by him. REQUEST FOR I'ITKS, Mrs H. Crawford, Whatawhata, com plained that water lay in front of his pro perty, and asked for some pipes to enable her to run the water off. The supervisor said that Mr Rae of Whatawhata had made a similar request to him. The matter was left in the hands of the supervisor. HOSPITAL INSTALMENT. Iu response to a request by the secre tary of tho Waikato Hospital Board it was decided to pay forthwith the balance of the contribution due to the Board. CAMBBIDOE BRIDGE. Mr Ashley Hunter notified the Council that Mr Larkin had signed the contract for strengthing the bridge at Cambridge at XIOH 17s. NEW ROAD. Hesketh and Richmond wrote stating that Messrs Williamson Bros, on arrange ment with tho Tuhikaramea Road Board are opening the present road which runs from the S.W. corner of Allot. 56, Parish of Tuhikaramea in a N.E. direction to Allot. 17. The Tuhikaramea Road Board district however stops at Allot. 17 which they understood was under the control of the Council. As they considered the new road should be settled now thnt the work on the former potion was being done, they suggested the Council make exchange of certain land for this road. As the owners had not forwarded the necessary certified plans, Cr. Steele moved and Cr. Vickers seconded that the letter be referred to Mr Swarbrick with an inti mation that the Council see no objectioa to the proposed exchange. BYE-LAWS. The Roads Department notified that tho bye-laws regulating traffic have been duly noted by the. Department, and would lie in the office the statutary period. i It was decided to have 2~> copies of those relating to bridge traffic printed. CONTAGIOUS DISEASES. The District Health Officer notified the Council of three cases of contagious dis eases. Cr. Ryburn said that with reference to w the case in his district all precautions had been taken to proven' the spread of scarlet ijia araoig the school children. TWT chairman moved that the matter be placed in the hands of Dr. Pairman. This was seconded by Cr. Steele, and carried. BALANCE SHEET. The audit office forwarded the certified Copies of the Council's balance sheet. Cr. Allen moved that tho balance sheet be advertised in both local papers for one insertion. I'r. Steele said the advertisement would he a big thin;,' and while people were asking for roada lie would be against printing tin* balance sheet. Cr. Fullerton paid that the ratepayers had an idea they were frittering the money away, and it was right they should see that the money was well spent. J'he Council should not be under an accusa tion of squandering money. Cr. Eyhurn said that it wa3 right that ratepayers should be placed in possession of all information on the accounts. The Chairman said that while he was in «• favour of ratepayers having full informa tion, he did not agree with throwing away money, and he would lik.' to know what the cost would be. He would suggest the printing of, say 100 copies which would be posted in public places such as post offices and creameries. He moved as an amend- ] nient that the matlor be left over for a month, the clerk to ascertain cost of advertisement. Cr McKinder seconded this motion and < tho original motion was withdrawn, the , amendment being carried unanimously. CLAY FOll ROAIIS. Mr O. J. Steele wrote informing the Couucil thai he had patented a process for burning clay for roads, and offering to sell to the Council the right of using his patent at a fixed royalty. As the Council was of opinion that the clay in the couutry was unsuitable for this purpose, Iho letter was received, no action being taken. Several lengthy letters from Mr fciwar- brick were read dealing with this road, the purport being that it would be advisable for the solicitor to visit Auckland and make a thorough search of the records. He was of opinion that should the Council take over the road, it would not be responsible for any accidents occurring through the open drain on this road, as the drains have been made before taking over I he road. The Chairman said that practically the Council was in the same position as before as regards their legal responsibility in the matter. While in some respects adverse to the Council Mr Nwarbrick advocated a policy of lion activity, and throw the onus of pmviag that the road is a county road on the pi*i perty owners. If any private satisfactory arrangement could be arrived at, they should do their utmost, as the road was undoubtedly a good means of com munication in the district. After a, long discussion, it was decided to reply to Messrs Hesketh and Richmond in terms of Mr Swarhrick's letter. DO (I REGISTRATION. Ct\ Vickers moved that tenders be called for dog registration and tne supply of dog collars, the tax to be 5s and 2s (id as pre viously. This was carried. ABSENTEE LOTS. Mr Wm. Beet offered to pay the rates due in sections 25ti Market Reserve, 2oi>, 2GO, 2G2 absentee sections if allowed the use of them. •As the Council had no con trol of these properties it was decided to reply to Mr Beet that ho could occupy the land at hi.s own risk. CARETAKER. It was decided to donate the caretaker of the Council Chambers a grant of .£l, in addition to his usual allowance. It was also decided that any person having the use of the chambers should be required to allow the caretaker 2s 6d tor cleaning. WORKS AUTHORISED. As no tenders had been received, the supervisor was authorised to let privately the works necessary in Havelock Hill and Whatawhata Road. REQUEST FOR PLANS. I? was decided to request Mr F. B. Jolly to supply the Council with plans showing the subdivisions and roads proposed to be formed on his property at Frankton. ACCOUNTS. The following accounts were passed tor paymentJ. J.

It' a fire started in this growth the bridges would be doomed. The supervisor should be in structed to give notice to owners of pro perty to clear their section*. He mention-) ed a case at Havelock's bridge. It was decided to take action in the di rection indicated, several holders being mentioned as offenders to be notified. FENCE. ft was decided to erect a fence at the cutting from Mr Prince's gate to Mr Hun ter's oilice at Ohaupo. CULVERT.

A s]!ocial meeting was then held to eon linn the proposed byelaws regulating traf fic engines and other heavy wheeled traffic in the county. » After a long desultory discussion the , byelaws regulating traction engine traffic were passed, and read with the'exception of the clauses providing for a £~>< i guarantee and the payment of the £lO 10s as haulage licence. The byelaws regulating ordinary heavy wheeled traffic weie then considered. It was decided that from the Ist May and 30th September inclusive no four wheeled vehicle shall be drawn by more than four horses and two-wheeled by more than two horses ; also that where damage to roads is being caused by any special traffic, such as flax or timber carting, such may be absolutely prohibited by the coun cil. These arc subject to confirmation at next meeting. PROPOSED CO-OPERATIVE BUTTER FACTORY. A meeting of delegates from the Te Aroha West, Waihou and Mangaiti creameries was held at the Palace Hotel, Te Aroha, on Saturday evening last. Present: Mr Fred Strange (in the chair), Messrs T. Gavin, S. t>. Knight, W. Mace, E. Smardon, M. Cronin, M. O'Donoghue, and W. Abbey (secretary). In reply to a communication sent from last meeting, the following letter was read from Messrs Ambury and Euglish : "Your favour of 29th inst to hand today (Tuesday) re co-operati#n, and meeting the delegates from Waihou, Te Aroha West and Mangaiti on Saturday night, the 6th of December. In reply we have to say that it would be utterly impossible for us to meet you, and lay before the delegates a full fledged scheme at so early a date. We thought that early in February would be soon enough to commence but if it is the wish of the suppliers to go into the matter, say in January, we will have the scheme ready and, all being well, meet in Jan uary, on a day to be fixed. Of course your delegates ar* aware that we are now in the thick of the season aud every hour fully occupied, aDd to start just now to disouts the question of co-operation fully is hardly practicable, and wy think you will with our view of the matter, that the best way to put the matter fairly before the suppliers would be to meet the suppliers ateach of the creame ries and tell them tne proposals, and if the proposals wer6 thought to be worth further consideration, delegates should be appointed from each creamery to meet aud finally decide. We think it would be much better for tho whole of the suppliers to hear direct from us what the scheme is to be, and then leave it to the delegates to say whether or not they should take up the scheme. There are tvo other creameries, making 13 in all, and when we start we want to give the fullest information to all, so that no one can say they do not understand. We hope your districts will not commit them selves until they have heard our terms, but if you think that you should not wait we cannot complain. But to put a scheme in proper.form, and commit ourselves to it in three days, in the thick of the season, is more than we can possibly do, and wo do not think you wish us to do anything un reasonable. After discussing the scheme, if you do not accept it, and wish to start a factory yourselves, we will do anything we reasonably can to help you. Trusting your delegates will agree to this." Several of those present said it was a great pity Mr Arnbury did not come up and give the meeting a rough idea of the proposed scheme. Mr Cronin suggested that the secretary write to Messrs Arnbury and English asking them on wha.t terms they would ba prepared to sell the tfree ere tmeries men tioned, so that in the event of the suppliers not agreeing to their terms, they would have something to go ou with. They should act independently, in case any thing unforseen cropped up. Mr Smardon prop sed that the delegates formulate some scheme, and ascertain the probable cost of tin' erect 1 in of the factory, so that they would be prepared to on if arrangements c'uht not he ma 1' with .Messrs Amliury ami English. This was seconded by Mr Mace and car ried. The Chairman said the whole matter would require to be brought before the suppliers before anything definite could be doue. On the motion of Mr Mace, seconded by Mr Knight, it was ie>oived thai the secre tary write to Messrs. Arnbrey and English asking them to endeavour to place their scheme before the suppliers not later than the second Saturday in January. Seconded by Mr Knight and carried. The Secretary was instructed to write to the Bank of New Zealand and also the Hank of New South Wales re financial mat ters. Several other minor matters were brought up and decided upon. At the conclusion of the business Messrs Cock and Thorp, directors of the Paeroa Butter Factory, were admitted, and each addressed the meeting on the question of joining in with the I'aeroa factory. They » ere attentively listened to and accorded a vote of thanks. C w decided to m«et again in two weeks' time.—Te Aroha News. THE WAIKATO TIMES.

PRACTICAL POULTRY NOTES. [1 y Minorca.] (irain so;iked twenty-four hours in ui pontine, nnd scattered to t lie fowls s a gcod r niedy for worms. I lioro arc no I >esr laying fowls for itlier (lie winter or summer months. It is more, a matter of strain tli.in treed. i!av, onions are preventive, of roup md colds in fowls. They should lie 'hopped line and mixed with the it her food. fowls like newly cut grass; give hem all they want of it. The clip ings from a lawn mower are just 'he things for them. lied pepper may he fed to poultry l itli good results, hut do not make their food so strong with it that you •ould not swallow it yourself. The modern English Game fowl is oo long-legged to produce a tirsi •lass tahle-hird. Still, many aiv short in the leg and might 1 e used. j It would lie a good plan to give j 'iich house a thorough fumigation. \\ ■■ • iave found this easily done hv wet ting sulphur with kerosene oil and vouching the mixture with a match. Don't forget that during the hot weather fowls must have a plentiful supply of clean water if they are to Keep well and lay well. People very often forget this, and then are sur prised at the dejected appearance of i lie inhabitants of the poultry-yard. Tans in which the water is kept should be well washed every day. 1 commence feeding young chickens (says a poultry keeper in 'Australasian Agriculturist") on oatmeal and bread ami milk, and feed this for one or two weeks, then give soft food, composed of bran and cracked corn twice a day, with oats in the evening. For the first two weeks T fed six or seven times a day ; after that three times a day until the chicks are six weeks old, and then twice a day till grown. Do not give the chicks any food or water for thirty-six hours (says an American writer) ; by this we do not mean thirty-six hours from when the tirst chick comes out, but say the night of the twenty-second day or the morning of the twenty-third day, the latter is the proper time if the chicks come out quickly and strongly, and the hatch is cleaned up by the after noon of the twenty-fir«t day. The Campiaes (pronounced Kam peens) are a breed that have become deservedly popular in England during the last year or two, and when their appearance and economic virtues become better known, there is every prospect of this popularity becoming largely increased. It is an old Belgium breed, in which country it as earned for itself the soubriquet 1 poules pond tousle jours "or every ay layers. The Government poultry expert is advised from Sydney that there is an onormous demand for eggs, owine to the high price of meat and vegetables. That there is a shortage in the market is shown by the fact that whereas the Government stores last year held be tween five and six hundred thousand e oo s > fchis year only forty thousand are stored. Over twenty thousand pounds worth have come into the Sydney market from South Aus tralia. A merchant in Christchurch has forwarded to Mr 1). J). Hyde vernment Poultry Expert) a" copy of a letter, dated October 22nd, from a firm in Durban, which savs: "We wish to express our satisfaction with the consignment of poultry just re ceived from you. Both ducks and fowls are the best we have yet han dled, whether from Australia, New- Zealand, Canada or England, and we have personally imported and sold very many from each of these coun tries.'' A large order, with a pro mise of continuance, accompanied the lettei, which is a signal proof of the improvement in the" quality of New Zealand poultry and the' prospects for this industry. Sunflowers for l'oult ry.-»l\ m ltry keepers should sow sunflowers in empty pens or any vacant space. They make a grand shade for chicks in a veiy few weeks, and for larger birds afterwards. The seed is very valuable. Though there is a large proportion of fibre (waste) in their composition, the protein content is high. The seeds may be used sparingly at any time, but during moult the quantity may be for the fats contained being specially oily appear to so lubricate the skin of the fowl that the old feathers are easily shed, and the new ones emerge quickly. An early and quick moult is so great an advantage that any thing which may help the birds through the period should not be neg lected. In choosing fowls for winter lay ing one must be governed a good deal by the origin of the breeds. Thus it is not to be expected that birds of the Medit rranean class, or those de ii\ing their origin from India would prove as good layers in the far north :is birds that originated in regions far north. Ihe Mediterranean classes are without doubt good layers but for the coldest weather we would expect to have best results from the offspring of such breeds as those that have been kept in a cold climate for a hundred years, and have thus been hardened in their ancestry. The breed characteristics will crop out often iu the laying qualities of the birds. This is in direct accord with with the experience of the farmers of this country. Some years ago the Farmers' Review sent out inquiries as to what fowls had been found to be Vie best winter layers. A large num ber of answers were received, and the majority of the replies favoured the Langshan. The Eangshans are from North China, a region where the mer cury sinks down sometimes to 40 de grees below zero. For summer layers we would select some breed from tropica] or semi-tropical regions, such as the Leghorns, but for winter layers we would select alwavs birds that I have originated in colder climates i I'armeiV lieview."

After taking only a little of it I felt better and soon my troubles disappeared. I believe' this medicine is the best blood-purifier and the strongest tonie that any one can buy." AYER'S Sarsaparilla Thero are many imitation " Sarsaparillas " He sure you gut Ayer's. t se Ayer's Pills every time your bowels be come constipated, or when you are bilious or have sick headache. They cure quickly. prepared !>y Dr. J. C. Ayeri Co., Lowell, Mass., U.S.A. . When they put a man In gaol, he cannot fol low his natural inolina ||l| tion. His enjoymest J|HW| of life is limited. #He > cannot eat what ho wants to. He is limited gnH"* to a very frugal diet. ■NHBPVV He is alive, to be but life doesn't possess very many advantages. I y&te&HM Are not all these things equally true of the dys -1 * flßl peptic ? For all the real enjoyment he gets out of life, he might as r well be in gaol. He 1 cannot eat what he L likes, nor as much of it | HHB as he would like. If he ' any of the rules of'his diet, he B punished for it. He H MJ suffers much ; gets little ■I sympathy. Dyspepsia ■V starts with indigestion, | JpJ' ■ and may lead ; i almost anything. Indigestion means a variety of things—it shows itself in many ways. At first, perhaps, a little heaviness in the stomach, a little sourness, windy belchiugs, and heartburn. Headaches begin to come pretty soon after that, and biliousness and a foul taste in the mouth in the morning. Chronic constipation is almost inevitable, and it' is probably the most serious trouble that ever takes hold of a man. Its seeming simplicity is the thiug that makes it moat dangerous, because it leads to neglect. Constipation means that the body is holding poisonous, impure matter, that should be gotten rid of. The poison is being re absorbed into the blood, and the whole body is being filled with it. Impurity in the blood may lead to almost any disease. There is no telling what may come of it. And yet people aro careless about it. It is the most serious thing in the world, and the easiest to enre if you : go about it right. Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills cure Constipa tion. Cure it positively, certainly, iufal libly. Cure it so it stays cured. Cure it so you can stop taking medicine. And that is something that no other remedy in the world will do. They positively cure Biliousness, Indigestion, Constipation, Dys pepsia, Sallew Complexion, Liver and Kid ney Troubles, Piles, Pimples and Blot hes. A perfect blood purifier, and for female ailments they stand alone as a woman's best friend.

WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1902. LAND SETTLEMENT. In a leading article dealing wi' li \]\.- land ballot ludd in New Pivnimi i. recently, the Eykxinu Post nukes bitter complaint that the sections were sold at far beneath their value. Referring to 'he section for which there were 77 applicants, the journal says: ".Now tie- competition for this one section ma •« betaken :is an illustration of how the pernicious character of the system operates to give to the drawer of the luckv num ber a valuable prize at the expense of the country. One man obtains an estate at a fixed upset price that it is fair to presume many of the seventv six disappointed '• sweep-drawers would have been prepared, had the laud been submitted to competition, to give a considerably higher price for. As the lease is practically for ever (1)99 years) and the rental not liable to variation, the loss to the country is the difference annually, for ever, between the, actual value and the upset price." Now the policy of the Government has ever been to give the settler every chance of making a start for himself with a minimum of capital, and to this end the upset values of the lands offered have been fixed at bedrock prices, relatively to the first cost to the Government. This is the funda mental difference between the policy of the Liberal Administration and the policy of the present Opposition. While the former is prepared to allow bona fide settlers to acquire land at most reasonable terms, the latter, professedly in favour of the scheme, insiduously endeavour to kill it by advocating that the land should be rented at the highest possible rental, the effect of which, notwithstanding their indignant denials, would be to debar the very man most in need of consideration and a helpinghand. When the Land for Settlement Act was passed, tl Eject was not to enrich the coffers of the State by direct returns from the leaseholders, but to strengthen the finances of the colofay soundly and permanently, forty, sixty, aye, even- an hundred fold, by the indubitable benefits and advantages arising from close and vigorous settle ment. How many of our Waikato farmers owe their now prosperous condition to the action of the Go vernment in setting in motion the great wave of settlenrcnt which has spread all over the colony. It i< harping on an old string, but we can not refrain from referring to the fact that many of our farmers have turned against the very Government to whom they owe a large measure of their success. To what is the impetus given to the dairy industry due? Certainly to the excellent quality of our New Zealand butter, and this desideratum was obtained only when the small farmer was enabled, to use an apt expression, '• to bear a hand in the game." It would be 'interesting to know what the settlers at Kawhia think of the proposal of the Evkxixo Tost that the upset price of land opened up should be determined on the lines of actual value, regardless of the cost to the country. For those who can afford to pay an enhanced price there are thousands of proper ties on the market, greatly improved •and beautified, but the. settler just striking' out for himself cannot pay for improvements; he wants to utilise his own strength, and to minimise the outlay of his capital as much as pos sible, and this is what the present Ad ministration is aiding him to do. The Conservative organ says that --as the land is the property of the people, the community is being robbed every time a section of Crown land is gambled for iit the ballot boy at less than value." Surely the Post does not wish us to believe that the State reaps no benefit from every settler who sets to work, improves his holding, and rears a family, contributing in a thou sand and one ways to the revenue, and enhancing the national prosperity in the truest and best sense? The farmers in Waikato, at any rate, are not to be tricked into the Opposition camp by such statements. LOCAL AND GENERAL "Advantages of Co-operat'on " is the title of ;m article on Pago 1. We learn that a large grocery and general store is to J,., started at Ohaupo shortly. Th-new firm, it is understood. are making every effort to enable them to supply goods at bedrock prices. A central site has been secured, and the erection of building will be pushed on at once. The late I,'ev. Father Malone, curate of St. Mary's Church, llokitika, who died on Wednesday last, was the first Xew Zea lander born who was ordained in the colony to the priesthood of the Koman Catholic Church. He was thirty-four years of age. Mr John Andrew, an old resident of Hamilton, and for a few years foreman printer of The W.ukato Times, is about to leave the district. Mr Andrew has 1 n a prominent member of the Methodist Church, occupying the position of senior church steward, and this evening it is intended to give him a farewell social in the church. Another development of the humours of the Post Office is reported. A Wellington, Shropshire, tradesman had posted to him from Edinburgh some mouths ago a letter. the address of which did not, unfortunate ly, give the name of the county. Contrary to custom, however, the message was not sent to Wellington, Somerset; the postal officials forwarded it to Wellington, New Zealand. It travelled about that colony for a time, till a kind-hearted official patch ed it no with a irumuied label and de spatched it to England again. On its ar rival in this country it found its way to Somersetshire, but eventually went to Wel lington. Shropshire, and wa3 correctly de livered. There was no extra charge. .'■l ■ >r.-.

T'lt'i'e was a good muster of foiu'teeu out of tv.vatv. A paper in the British Medical Journal gives results of an inquiry into the dis semination of enteric infection. The enteric bacillus, it has been discovered, can survive in ordinary soil occasionally moistened with rain, for 67 days ; while in soil so dry as to be readily blown about it survives tor 25 days. It has been shown that clothing deliberately fouled with enteric material is capable of giving off in fection after three months' drying and ex posure ti light and air. The family of Miss Skinner (one of the Eliugamite's missing passengers; have, says the'Otago Daily Times'had a unique ex perience or shipwrecks, Mr .Skinner having been a sufferer in this respect on three occasions, and another brother escaping by a miracle from drowning on the Spanish coast, his steamer striking a rock and going down five minutes later. Mr T. Skinner and acampanion were washed overboard from a sailing vessel off Cape Horn by a gigantic sea. Another wave carried him oa board, but his compauion was never seen again. A surprising "mother" story comes from West Virginia (says a New York paper), Edward 11. Williams is in the gaol at I Un ion, convicted and sentenced to a 20 years' term for murder. His aged muther lies ill at Princeton. Once transferred to prison, he will never se' her again. The other night Williams broke gaol. He worked his way through the mountains to his old home, and bade his mother farewell. Then, six days after his escape, he presented him self again at the gaol door. Mr R. li, Hunt, secretary of the North 'lsland Main Trunk Railway League, has received the following letter frrom the Under-Secretary of Public Works:—" I a , n directed by the .Minister for Public Works to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of lot ii ultimo, relative to the process of construction work on the above-mentioned railway, and in reply to state that the number of men employed en this line has been largely augmented since the increased vote for the work was authorised by Par liament. As regards the North of Auck land railway. I am to state that additional men arc also b 'ing p!,i ■*! on this line, and good progress is being made with the con struction works." •' To discontinue a Ivertising," say- John Wii.namaker, the millionaire, "is like talcing down your sign. if you want to do I-.iisin'ss you must let the people know it. Sl.uiilhig advertisements, when frequently changed, are belter and cheaper than read ing n >ti • 's. They look more substantial iiud l.vsin .ss-like, and inspire confidence. I would as s ion think of doing business with out a clerk as without advertising." This is advice which all business men would do well to follow, but it must be born;, in mind that the advertising medium must be the best obtainable. We can confidently say that in consequence of its large circu lation, Thk Waikato Times is the best paper in the Waikat i to advertise concern ing anything pertaining to a farming coin munit v. Hue of the crew of the Zealandia, on arrival in Sydney (says the Australian Star) was asked whether it was true that an Austria 1 ! was killed by an car. " That is not so," was the man's reply. Hj had two life-belts ou, and one of the Eliugamite's crew went up to him, and said, " Here take off :.ne of those." The foreigner replied. 'No savee.' The man then told him there were two children close by without life belts, and he would have to take one off at least. He again replied,'No savee,' and, picking up a piece of wood the sailor said, ' I'll make you savee, then,' and he laid him 0 it and taking the belts off him put them round the children, both of whom were saved. That is the truth of the whole thing. We saved the man who did it, and he is now in Auckland. At the recent sitting of the Sanitary Institute Congress in Manchester, Dr. Rhodes showed that 42,000 persons died from consumption every year, and that about a million pounds were being spent yearly in poor-law rates alont on consump tion. One-eleventh of the pauperism of the country resulted from consumption, aud in consequence of the disease the working classes were losing in wages about ,£11,000,000 every year. Sir James Crichton Browne summed up the the discussion with a hope that tuber culosis would become one of the bogies of the nursery, that children would have a horror of it, and would have instilled in them sound hygienic principles that might pre serve their lives and health. A recent visitor to Xew York, who had occasion to go to the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, writes that he believes he was the only person in the hotel that morning who wasnota millionaire.lt is astartling example of opulence and magnificence. A new item, dated Octobet (i, says : —Equal in splendour to the home of any American millionaire, aud furnished more gorgeously than any other hotel in the wcrld, will be the St. Regis Hotel, which Colonel John Jacob Astor is building in 55th street, Fifth Avenue, New York. The furniture for the regal suite has cost £OOOO, exclusive of the carpets, which have run up a bill for .£675. The curtains also for the suite have not been included in the jC'jO 0. They cost £IOO the pair. The total cost of the furni ture, bric-a-brac and pictures, will amount iu the aggregate to £150,000. The concludiug meeting of the Methodist Rand of Hope was held last evening in the Church schoolroom. The R?v. H. L. Blauiiros. occupied the chair, and there was a good attendance. The programme was of a miscellaneous character, and in cluded recitations, solos, and addresses. Quite a number attempted elocutionary efforts. Miss Gladys Morrington was abnit the best, and gave her recitation in a clear and distinct manner. Miss E. Wright (" How Betsy was Fed") and Miss Agues Hatrick (•' The Land of Little People") nave very acceptable items. Masters Merrington and Venables, and Messrs Megsuu and Morgan also gave recitations, Mr Megson's item especially being well rendered. Mrs Tattan sang two solos, "The Christ Child," and"A Coon Song," very well. The con song was a delightful change, and was greatly appre ciated. Mr Venables also sang a solo. Addresses were given on temperance ques tions by the R.e V . H. L. Blamircs. Mr Upton, treasurer of the Auckland Prohibi tion League. At the conclusion of the programme a meeting of the Band of Hope committee was held, when it was resolved to donate the sum of £2 towards the funds of the New Zealand Alliance Association, to assist '"i paying expenses incurred in the re^e:.. .-jal option poll. Mr Hiirwui We"r.\j, wh:< is well known in commercial eiicles in Dunediu, and wh . rec sntl.v visited South Africa, is at present in '.VclHngton on business connected with Hi. Durban C .Id Company. This company was recently Heated for tin- pur pose of importi iic frozon meat, dairy pro duce and J oodshiffs generally, and under taking its sale and distribution in Xatal and the IVan-vail. Mr Reeves says that the demand for produc in South Africa is continuous, and will remain so for a considerate time, perhaps indefinitely. The country has been almost denuded of sb.uk—except such as is useful for haulage purposes—and it will bo many years before local supplies will be sufficient to meet re quirements. Mr Reeves anticipates a great development of the mining industry in the. Transvaal, and looks forward to the 01 -,e |iieut increase of population as likely lo add to the demand for over-sea pro duce. 'a a letter to the Otago Daily Times, Mr J. MeUregor, soli' itor, says:—" I'er ini! me to take this opportunity of stating that the strongest and abiding im pression I have brought bark from the old Country is that produced by the appalling nature aud extent of the poverty, misery, an 1 degradation of the results caused by drink and gambling, and. on the other hand, the selfish luxury and unbounded extravagance of the aristocracy and the newly enriched. One cannot wonder is that it is not much more rapid. I should be a Socialist myself if only [ could con vince myself of the practicability- of Social ism, but I can't. What impresses a col.nist revisiting his native laud is, not merely the Appalling nature of the evils referred to, but the fact that they seem to be regarded as inevitable ; and one can not help a boding fear arising in one's mind that herein lies a serious menace to Britain's commercial, industrial, and Im perial supremacy." A National Industrial Exhibition, which includes a large space for the exhibition of samples of produce and manufactures from fro/ n countries, will be opened at Osaka, Japan, on March Ist, 1008, and we (New Zealand Times; have been informed by the Japanese Counsil, that any bona fide in tending visitor from New Zealand can obtain from him an invitation card from the Minister of Agriculture and Commerce. The card will secure the bearer special facilities at the" exhibition, and for travel ling in the country: and a reduction of 20 per cent in the rates of passage to and from Japan by steamers of the Nippon Yusen Kaisha, from Sydney or Mel bourne.

"William Henry Knock, licensee of the Waikato Hotel, was charged with a breach of the Licensing Act, in that he did supply liquor to other than bona fide travellers at his hotel on Sunday, November Oth I!>:>2. Mr Nwarbaiek appeared for the ac cused. Aftor stating the circumstances of the case, Sergeant Stapleton called A. (.1. Tibbutt, photographer, Hamilton, who stated that he remembered Sunday, Oth November, as he was going to Tau whare with Captain Humphreys. They called into the Royal Hotel, and not being able to get what they required they called into the "Waikato Hotel for the purpose of procuring a piece of string or rope to mend a breakage. They went inside the hotel, and there were a number of others in the place. It was about 1 p.m. when he was in the hotel. He did not see Mr Knock there, but a man named P. Woodhous- was in charge. He was in the passage when they went in, but afterwards saw him belr'nd the bar. He had no liquor while in the hotel. He did not think he had a glass in his hand when the police entered. He (the witness) was asked to have a drink, but did not know who invited him. Ho accepted the offer and called for pert wine, and was served by the man in charge. He saw no money paid for the drinks. He was only about a minute in the hotel when the police arrived. He sa-v other drink drawn by the barman. Cross-examined by Mr Swarbriek: The drinks were not ordered by him, but by a stranger, who was in the hotel when he went in. Re-examined by Sergt. Sfcapleton: He could not bo certain it' the police inquired for the name of the stranger when they ar rived, ns he had his back to them. In reply to His Worship, the witness said he was close to the slide, which was open the same as on ordinary days. "William Henry Humphreys, commercial traveller, called, said : Said he remembered the date in question. He was staying at Mr Bright's Hotel on that dak', «tid visited the Waikato Motel for the purpose of getting a cord to mend a break. He remembered the police coming in, but did not know their names. He, with others, was in the passage near the bar at the time. It was their intention to have a drink if it were possible, as they were going a long journey. He saw Tib butt with a bottle in his hand, which he supposed he obtained from the bar. The remainder of the witness's evidence corroborated that given by Tibbutt. Crcss-examiued by Mr Swarbrick. He did not have drink, and never saw r l ibbutt with a drink. He knew no one present but Tibbutt. He saw no one being served with drink. He could not swear what was in the bottle that Tibbutt had. In reply to his Worship, the witness said he did not hear any other liquors called for. The others present were talking and there were glasses about. [Left Sitting.] SALE OF WORK.

This will lie opened to-morrow afternoon in the Volunteer Hall, and will be continued during the evening.

WAIPA COUNTY COUNCIL. mr** ... . . + The ordinary meeting of the Waipa County Council was held yesterday at the Council Chambers, ohaiipn. There were, present'• Crs. John Fisher i chairman), 11. J. Hell, P. O'Connor. Yiekers, |'. ,|. McKinder, S. Steelo, Ed. Allen, I.'yhurn.and S. Eullerton. ROAP AT FRANKTON. Mr E. White, Frankton. wrote that a number of residents in his part of the dis trict desired that the road crossing from the Whatawhata Road, at Wilkinson's corner, and extending to the railway past his place, should be opened up for traffic. Cr. Steel said there were thirds from Mr Thompson's laud available, and that he was agroeablo for them to be expended for this purpose. It was right that this road should ho opened up. The Council should serve notice on the property holders to clear the furze, and the work then put in hand by the supervisor.—He moved to that ef fect. This was seconded by Cr. McKinder and carried. SI'I'EKVISOR's RRI'iiRT. The Supervisor's report was road as fol lows:—The county work has during the past month made steady, though not rapid progress, so far as contracts are let, bat several still remain untendered for. Con tract Xo. I'll work on Bowden's road, is completed : 4i:<, grading near Morrison's, the heavy pari of the work is done; 4M4, Paterangi Hill, is making fair progress: 43«>, grading on the Tuhikaramen-Ohaupo Ko id, is going on ; 4M, formation near Te Rore, is under weigh; 14', Cambridge Bridge repairs ; the contractor has signed the contract and is now getting his material together. H. Booth has started his work in the Hamilton Riding. Road near Frankton ■. In company with Messrs Steele and Fullerton I went over thi-i road, its length is about CO chains ar.d for the greater part of its length it is a mass of furze. If the road is to be opened the first step must be to get this cleared. As regards the desirability of opening up the road there can be no doubt it would be a public convenience especially to drivers of stock, but at the same time it will not do much to lessen the inconvenience now felt at the ftankton railway crossing, it be ing t«o much of a detour. If the clearing of the roadline is property done by owners of adjacent lands—the cost of making a passable track for driving or for light traffic would not be great, probably from £2O to £W, With regard to the other road, on the Hamilton Borough boundary which Mr Steele and I were to inspoct—it now ap pears that this roadline in wholly within the Borough boundary, and therefore we have no responsibility in tho matter. Re garding the road near Whatawhata, about which I was to sao Mr Sutton—Mr Steele and Fullerton interviewed that gentleman when ho promised to do what was required. Tenders have been called and are due here today for two contracts, viz., earthwork on Havelock's hill and cutting a new drain Whatawhata swamp road. KALEYARD ROAD, FRANKTON. A petition signed by 21 residents was read, drawing attention to the unsatisfac tory state iif this road, and suggesting that it be formed and gravelled. After some discussion on the legal aspect of the matter it was decided, on the motion of Cr. Steele, seconded by Cr. McKinder, that the letter be referred to the Hamilton Borough Council, as the r0.i.l is uud"r i;:m trol of that body, asking that body to fav ourably consider the prayer of the petitioners. RATES C'OM.KCTKD. Mr A. Swarbrick forwarded a cheque for JBl:t Is lud, on account, of rates collected by him. REQUEST FOK I'IVKH, Mrs H. Crawford, Whatawhata, com plained that water lay in front of his pro perty, and asked for some pipes to enable her t'i run the water off. The supervisor said that Mr Eae of Whatawhata had made a similar request to him. The matter was left in the hands of the supervisor. HOSPITAL INSTALMENT. In response to a request by the secre tary of tho Waikato Hospital Board it was decided to pay forthwith the balance of the contribution due to the Board. CAMBBIDUE BRIDGE. Mr Ashley Hunter notified the Council that Mr Larkin had signed the contract for strengthing the bridge at Cambridge at £U)H 17s. NEW ROAD. Hesketh and Richmond wrote stating that Messrs Williamson Bros, on arrange ment with tho Tuhikaramea Road Board are opening the present road which runs from the S. W. corner of Allot. 56, Parish of Tuhikaramea in a N.E. direction to Allot. 17. The Tuhikaramea Road Board district however stops at Allot. 17 which they understood was under the control of the Council. As they considered the new road should be settled now that the work on the former potion was being done, they suggested the Council make exchange of certain land for this road. As the owners had not forwarded the' necessary certified plans, Cr. Steele moved and Cr. Vickers seconded that the letter be referred to Mr Swarbrick with an inti mation that the Council see no objection to the proposed exchange. BYE-LAWS. The Roads Department notified that tho bye-laws regulating traffic have been duly noted by the Department, and would lie in the office tho statutary period. It was decided to have 25 copies of those relating to bridge traffic printed. CONTAGIOUS DISEASES. The District Health Officer notified the Council of three cases of contagious dis eases. Cr. Ryburn said that with reference to the case in his district all precautious had been taken to proven' tho spread of scarlet >^ina amoig the school children. TWIT chairman moved that the matter be placed in the hands of Dr. Pairinan. This was seconded by Cr. Steele, and carried. BALANCE SHEET. The audit office forwarded the certified Copies of the Council's balance sheet. Cr. Allen moved that tho balance sheet be advertised in both local papers for one insertion. Cr. Steele said the advertisement would be a big thing and while people were asking for roads he would be against printing the balance sheet. Cr. Fullerton said that the ratepayers had an idea they wern frittering the money away, and it was right they should see that the money was well spent. J'he Council should not be under an accusa tion of squandering money. Cr. Ryburn said that it wa3 right that ratepayers should lie placed in possession of all information on the accounts. The Chairman said that while he was in favour of ratepayers having full informa tion, he di'l not agree with throwing away money, and he would like to know what the cost would be. He would suggest the printing of, say ]<|o copies which would be posted in public places such as post offices and creameries. He moved as an amend ment that the matter be left over for a month, the clerk to ascertain cost of advertisement. Cr McKinder seconded this motion and i the original motion was withdrawn, the , amendment being carried unanimously. CLAY FOR ROADS. Mr G. .1. Steele wrote informing the Council that he had patented a process for burning clay for roads, and offering to sell to the Council the right of using his patent at a fixed royalty. As the Council was of opinion that the clay in the country was unsuitable for this purpose, 1 ho letter was received, no action being taken. BOTO-0-BAJCOI ROAD. Several lengthy letters from Mc Swar brick were read dealing with this road, the purport being that it would be advisable for the solicitor to visit Auckland and make a thorough search of the records. He was of opinion that should the Council take over the road, it would not be responsible for any accidents occurring through the open drain on this road, as the drains have been made before taking uViT I be road. The Chairman said that practically the Council was in the same position as before as regards their legal responsibility in the matter. While iu some respects adverse to the Council Mr Swarbrick advocated a policy of ir.m activity, and throw the onus of proving that the road is a county road on the property owners. If any private satisfactory arrangement could be arrive! at, they should do their utmost, as the road was undoubtedly a good means of com munication in the district. After a. long discussion, it was decided to reply to Messrs Hesketh and Richmond in terms of Mr Swarbriek's letter. DOU REGISTRATION. Cr. Vickers moved that tenders be called for dog registration and tiie supply of dog collars, the tax to be os and 2s (>d as pre viously. This was carried. ABSENTEE LOTS. Mr Wm. Beet ottered to pay the rates due in sections 25t> Market Reserve, 25!t, -(50, 202 absentee sections if allowed the use of them. -As the Council had no con trol of these properties it was decided to reply to Mr Beet that he could occupy the land at his own risk. CARETAKER. It was decided to donate the caretaker of the Council Chambers a grant of £l, iu addition to his usual allowance. It was also decided that any person having the use of the chambers should be required to allow the caretaker 2s 6d tor cleaning. WORKS AUTHORISED. As no tenders had been received, tho supervisor was authorised to let privately the works necessary in Havelock Hill and Whatawhata K.oad. KSXJUEST FOR PLANS, i!" was decided to request Mr F. B. Jolly to supply the Council with plans showing the subdivisions and roads proposed to be formed on his property at Frankton. ACCOUNTS. The following accounts were passed tor payment:—J. J.

Cr. h'yburn brought under the notice of the Council the danger to bridges and cul vert arising from the growth of furze and gorse near these structures. If a fire started in this growth the bridges would be doomed. The supervisor should be in structed to give notice to owners of pro perty to clear their section.;. He mention ed a case at Havelock's bridge. ft was decided to take action in the di rection indicated, several holders beiii"- mentioned as offenders to be notified. FENCE. It was decided to erect a fence at the cuiting from Mr Prince's gate to Mr Hun ter's office at Ohaupo. CULVERT. The Council decided to write to Mr Wil loughby and the Pukeku-a, J toad Board, re questing that tho drain across the road near Mr Hunter's should be hridg.-d over its entire length, the c 4 to be equally divided between Mr Wiib ughby and the two local bodies. LIMESTONE. It was d.-cided to write to .Messrs Wilson stating that the Council w-,uld take a cer tain quantity of limestone for road metal ling, provide,! the cost were reasonable. Member- e.in-i lored Cut the motion was one in the right direction for the benefit of the district. SPECIAL MEETING. A social meeting was then held to con firm thy proposed byelaws regulating traf fic engines and other heavy wheeled traffic in the couuty. After a long desultory discussion the byelaws regulating traction engine traffic were passed, and read with the exception of the clauses providing for a £SO guarantee and the payment of the £lO 10s as haulage licence. The byelaws regulating ordiuary heavy wheeled traffic weie then considered. It was decided that from the Ist May and 30th September inclusive no four wheeled vehicle shall be drawn by more than four horses and two-wheeled by more than two horses ; also that where damage to roads is being caused by any special traffic, such as flax or timber carting, such may be absolutely prohibited by the coun cil. These are subject to confirmation at next meeting. PROPOSED CO-OPERATIVE BUTTER FACTORY. «. A meeting of delegates from the Te Aroha West, Waihou and Mangaiti creameries was held at the Palace Hotel, Te Aroha, on Saturday evening last. Present: Mr Fred Strange (in the chair), Messrs T. C.avin, S. ti. Knight, \V. Mace, E. Smardon, M. Cronin, M. O'Donoghue, and W. Abbey (secretary). In reply to a communication sent from last meeting, the following letter was read from Messrs Ambury and English : "Your favour of 2!»th inst to hand today (Tuesday) re co-operati#n, and meeting the delegates from Waihou, Te Aroha West and Mangaiti on Saturday night, the 6th of December. In reply we have to say that it would be utterly impossible for us to meet you, and lay before the delegates a full Hedged scheme at so early a date. We thought that early in February would be soon enough to commence but if it is the wish of the suppliers to go into the matter, say in January, we will have the scheme ready and, all being well, meet in Jan uary, on a day to be fixed. Of course your delegates ar* aware that we are now in the thick of the season and every hour fully occupied, and to start just now to discuts the question of co-operation fully is hardly practicable, and we think you will agree with our view of the matter, that the best way to put the matter fairly before the suppliers would be to meet the suppliers ateach of the creame ries and tell them tne proposals, and if the proposal? were thought to be worth further consideration, delegates should be appointed from each creamery t<> meet aud finally decide. We think it would be much better for tho whole 'of the suppliers to hear direct from us what the scheme is to be, and then leave it to the delegates to say whether or not they should take up the scheme. There are two other creameries, making 13 in all, and when we start we want to give the fullest information to all, so that no one can say they do not understand. We hope your districts will not commit them selves until they have heard our terms, but if you think that you should not wait we cannot complain. But to put a scheme in proper form, and commit ourselves to it in three days, in the thick of the season, is more than we can possibly do, and we do not think you wish its to do anything un reasonable. After discussing the scheme, if you do not accept it, and wish to start a factory yourselves, we will do anything we reasonably can to help you. Trusting your delegates will agree to this." Several of those present said it was a great pity Mr Ambury did not come up and give the meeting a rough idea of the proposed scheme. Mr Cronin suggested that the secretary write to Messrs Ambury and English asking them on what terms they would be prepared to sell the tf roe creameries men tioned, so that in the event of the suppliers not agreeing to their terms, they would have something to go on with. They should act independently, in case any thing unforseen cropped up. Mr Sutardon prop sed that the delegates formulate some scheme, and ascertain the probable cost of the erection of the f.itory, so that they would he prepared to g-> on if arrangements c >uht not be male with Messrs Aw bury ami English. . This was seconded by Mr Mace and car ried. The Chairman said the whole malier would require to be brought before the suppliers before anything definite could be done. On the motion of Mr Mace, seconded by Mr Knight, it was lesolved that the secre tary write to Messrs. Ambrey and English asking them to endeavour to place their scheme before the suppliers not later than the second Saturday in January. Seconded by Mr Knight and carried. The Secretary was instructed to write to the Bank of New Zealand and also the Hank of New South Wales re financial mat ters. Several other minor matters were brought up and decided upon. At the conclusion of the business Messrs Cock and Thorp, directors of the Paeroa Butter Factory, were admitted, and each addressed the meeting on the question of joining in with the Paeroa factory. They » ere attentively listened to and accorded a vote of thanks. T* was decided to rn°ef again in two weeks' time.—Te Aroln News. THE WAIKATO TIMES, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 10 1902- •fimvueme >ts.

ADVANTAGES OF CO-OPERATION. Mr Geo. Buckeridge, of Kawhia, who has given much thought to the question of co-operation, lias issued a leaflet containing his views on this important question, from which we make a few extracts : When we sec almost every week in the news of the world that huge com- bines are being formed for the pur pose of controlling various lines of trade it makes us wonder what is likely to happen next, and how these combines will affect us. We already feel the power of the mighty American trusts in the in creased prices we have to pay for steel, kerosene, and other articles over which they have secured mono polies, and we may yet feel it much more keenly. It is quite within our power to minimise the effect of such monopolies, and J promise in the course of this article to be able to show at least one means to this end. The co-operation of a few weathv men to secure a monopoly uE fir many is an unhealthy state of affairs, which should not exist, as it enriches the few at the expense of the many, and weakens and impoverishes the social condition of the masses. The American trusts are flagrant examples of this, being merely a com bination of wealth against the great masses for the purpose of enormously increasing their already large profits and adding materially to their fabu lous riches. It is not the labourers or producers who benefit, but the middlemen or the men who buy to sell again, and who do nothing to help to produce, merely finding the money to purchase and holding until they realise the prices they intend to sell at, The co-operation of the masses to secure a monopoly of the management of their own products is, on the other hand, a state which elevates and en riches the whole in equal proportions according to the vested interest of each, and gives to them the full ad vantage of the result of their labours eliminating the profits of the middle men in exact contradistinction to the trusts. This is a sort of combina tion we want to see more of, and which we should strive for. The combination of the farmers in New Zealand in [the form of co-per ative institutions for the management of their dairy produce is a step only towards what should eventually end in their controlling their produce of all kinds together. Co-operative dairy ing has been a grand object lesson to the farmers, for it has taught them that they can handle their own pro ducts themselves, and in doing so reap benefits which ;i few years ago were thought impossible. Co-operative dairying is right enougli so far as it goes, but it does not go far enough. We see hundreds of co-operative dairy companies each annually pro ducing large quantities of butter and cheese with which to supply the Eng lish market, and we see large firms in England sending buyers out to New Zealand every year at big salaries and expense to purchase that butter and cheese. Now these firms cannot work their warehouse for nothing, neither do they spend their money for the benefit of the fanner in New Zealand. They are not philanthropic institutions but are worked to make money and to pay dividends which go into the pro prietor's pockets and not into those of the producers. Dairy farmers took a long time to see that it was to their advantage to co-operate to produce their own butter and cheese, and thus retain the pro fits themselves; but they realise it fairly well now, and we think would scarcely like to go back again to the old order of things that obtained be fore the days of co-operative dairy ing. They got tired of .making for tunates for the mere manufacturers of these articles, and decided to secure these profits themselves, and rightly so too; but they are still going on building huge fortunes for others, in stead of keeping tneir honestly earned reward for their own use, It has paid the farmer to produce his own butter and cheese, and it will pay him to control its sale. New Zealand dairy produce has made a good name for itself, and is eagerly sought for, as is clearly shown by so many firms sending their buyess to get it in New Zealand ; and if it were controlled under one head and one management the sale would be in no wise decreased. As we are at present the market fur New Zealand dairy produce is controlled by the salesmen in London, and the producers must he content with what the salesman see fit to give them. Irregularity of shipments and consequent overlooking and shortage of the markets largely influ ence the prices obtained for produce. Now, if the whole of the produce of New Zealand were under one management these irregularities would lie done away with : and, further, it would be possible to fix the price at which the produce should be sold if it could only be obtained through one medium. A federation of the co-operative dairy companies in New Zealand, with cool stores and distributing centres in England, at which the pro duce could he graded would accomplish this much-to-be-desired object, and would saveforthebenefitof their share holders the profits of middlemen and the expensive salaries and travelling allowances of buyers. A still further saving could ce effected in freights, in snrance, etc., as it would be possible to make arrangements by dealing in such large quantities that cannot pos sibly be made at present, The ready sale of New Zealand pro duce is already assured, and if buyers could only obtain it from the one source which would be controlled bv the producers the price could be fixed to a very great extent by the produc ers and not by the salesmen or I buvers.

THE OLDEST DAILY NEWSPAPER IN THE WAIKATO. THURSDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1902. LOCAL AND GENERAL Two interesting articles, "Battleships i ll Wax" ami "A Drastic Labour Law,'' wit* be found on our fourth page. The town of Onchunga is to be lit by electricity next mouth. Sargoant-Mijor Coleman, of the Defence Force, arrived at Hamilton yestrnday by the express on his way to Thames, where he io to instruct the local volunteers in in fantry drill. Next week he proceeds to Raglan to instruct the Waikato M.R. No. 3 during their week's encampment. There was but a small attendance at the Volunteer Hall, Hamilton, last evening, when the Bijou Comedy Co. gave an enter tainment. The programme presented con sisted of knockabout turns and dances, comic songs and a farce, which seemed to meet the approval of the andience. "The fact that young men will go half a mile on Sunday to a hotel "to see a friend," and will be found hanging about the bar, was the reason why such a large vote was given for prohibition. If they woii'd only acknowledge they went for a drink, it would not be so bad, but it was nonsense to expect men like him.--.elf, who knew the world and its ways, to believe evi dence like that." —Mr Northcroft at yes terday's licensing trial. The quarterly meeting of the Waikato Licensing Committee was held at the Court louse yesterday. Mr IT. W. Northcroft, S.M., in the chair, and there were present : Messrs Coates, Storey, Bailey, and Young. Two applicatiof per transfer were granted .- —Star Hotel, Kibikihi, from Mr G, J. B.

Barugh, it was un animously decided to increase I lie iUhitial subscription from 5s to 7s Gd. During the bearing of the Sunday trad ing case yesterday, Mr Northcroit, if it. could be conclusively proved that a man w-'iit ti> an hotel on Sungy and fah'ely )•■•- presented himself as a traveller, he would fine him the maximum amount allowed by \- vv, and if the fine were not paid, the offender would have to go to gaol. Tickets for the Choral Society's first con cept are selling well and everything points to a most suceessfnl issue. The members have been assiduously practis ; ng, aud their conductor, Mr T. 11. Bosworth, has spared no pains to improve the soloists aud choristers so that a fine musical entertain ment may bo anticipated. Tho inhabitants of Cambridge will be pleaded to know that the water pipes for the Borough are now unloading in Auck land, and will be in Cambridge next, week, when the laying of them will be commenc ed at once. The owners of cattle should make arrangements to have their stock off the streets forthwith. According to the Licensing Act of 1K74, a traveller is considered a person who has travelled two and a half miles from his place of residence, whether for pleasure or business. It may not by generally known that the onus 'of proof that the person supplied with liquor is a traveller, rests with the publican, but at the same time he is expected to take precautions to see that he is not being imposed upon. In the case of Gallimore v. Ooodall, the judge made the followiug remark : " If, however, the stranger being unknown to the house keeper, is asked and answers that he is a traveller, and states the place he slept at on the previous evening, and there is no reason for disbelieving him, that will be enough to justify the supply of refresh ment." Mr Thos. Chappell, of Hamilton East, has just completed to the order of the foot ballers of Gisbourne and Waikato a very hanhsome monument to be erected at the Hamilton West Cemetary in memory of the late Mr Thos. Kirk, who diel at Gisborne through in juries received on the football field. The monument takes the form of an obi lisk of white Mount stone with marble panels, on a Blatamata base. On the shaft of the obllisk is the inscription: " This stone is erected by the footballers of Gis borne and Waikato, as a token of respect to the memory of a comrade, who died from injuries received while playing." On the base isjthe inscription: "In loving remembrance of Thos. Everton Kirk, eld est and dearly beloved son of Thomas and Elizabeth Kirk, who departed this life, at Gisborne on 20th July, 1901, aged 22 years." Altogether the memorial is a fitting token of the universal respect in which the de ceased was held by a large circle of personal friends and acquaintances. The Anniversary Services in connection with the Te Awamutu Methodist Church was held on Sunday last. In consequence of the indisposition of the Key. G. Elliott, Mr Webber,.of Hamilton, conducted the services. There was a good congregation in the morning, but through a heavy fall of rain the attendance at night was rather meagre. At the night meeting Mr Webber ?pike for a short while " On the influence oj Christian Endeavour work on the Church and community." The Church was nicely decorated, and the singing was very hearty. At the evening service a quartette was splendidly rendered by Mrs Houston, Miss Ciosher, and Messrs. Davis ami Rogers. Miss Crosher also contributed a solo. The public meeting, which was to have been held on Monday evening, was inde finitely postponed on account of Mr Elliott's illness. Beautiful weather prevailed yesterday foi the Anglican sale of work, held in the Oddfellows' Hall, Cambridge. The sale commenced at noon, and very cool and in viting did the Hall look with its pretty de corations of greenery after the heat and glare in the street. All the stalls were well-stocked with saleable articles, and those in charge of them must feel justly proud of the success which attended their efforts. The following ladies were the stall holders : —Fancy work stall: Mesdames Wells, Payze and Richardson. Plain work stall: Mesdames Willis, Skeet and Sander-, Lollie stall: The Misses Wells, R. Sheet and K. Willis. Dutch stall: Mrs Bouillon and the Misses Badham, Carley, Skeet, Clark and Petersen. Fish-pond: The Misses Walker and Effie Willis. Refresh ment stall: Mesdames McCullagh, Hunter and Earl, and Miss Peppercorn. Christmas tree: The Misses Willis and 11. Wells Miss Gwynneth kindly acted as treasurer, and Mr Bouillon as secretary. Mesdames Filcher and Lowe, Miss Wyles, and Mr Frazer in turn presided at the piano during the afternoon, and in the evening Miss Peters n and Mr Stewart sang the duet " When the Wind Blows in From the Sea," and Mrs Polwarth, '•Going r.i Kilddre." The Cambridge Or chestral Society (under the conductorship of Mr J. jr. Edwards), gave several very pleasing selections. During the evening Mr Hunter held an auction sale, which oc casioned very much fun and laugnter, es pecially among the young people. Before the bazaar closed the Rev. Archdeacon Willis 1 hanked all the ladies and gentlemen who had worked so hard to make the sale tho success it certainly was, and they are to be congratulated upon the substantial resuit of their efforts, which we believe amounted to £OO. The sale closed about half past ten, the National Anthem being sung. LICENSING POLL. (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) AUCKLAND, This Day.

All the arrangements are most complete and present appearances warrant the opinion tint the etibrts of the ladies will be crowned with success. The bazaar will be opened this evening, when an attractive programme of musical items will be presented, one of the features being the first appearance in Hamilton of ?vlr Yiuson-Dossitor, a tenor from Australia, where he was tutored by Signor Cecci, Madame Melba's first teacher. DR. LIVINGSTONE. One of the moat remarkable, and to the Western diplomatic mind, the mo3t dis turbing event of the past decade, has been the rapid advance made by the Japanese in the march for civilisation, and their as sumption of a foremost place among the nations of the world. Dr. Livingstone, who is to give a lecture on " Japan" in the Vol unteer Mali, Hamilton, on Saturday even ing, has had exceptional opportunities of studying the manner and customs of these interesting people.as he was for many years prictising his profession in Japan, part of the time being spent as surgreon in the army medical corps. This enabled him to see a great deal of the inner life of the people, and as a consequence his lecture is well worth the attention of all interested in our new al'iioa in the far East. The lec ture is plentifully illustrated by splendid l'Dtern pictures, many by photographs taken by the lecturer. FIRE AT EPSOM. (By Ti-K'irrapU.—Press Association.) AUCKLAND, This Day.

In Kawhia, as far as steam communica tion is concerned, it is certainly either a feast or a famine, inasmuch as during the last three days we have had a visit from both the Gairloch and the Kanieri, each being heavily laden with cargo, while, next we are also to have a couple of trips made to this port by the s.s. Kanieri. A regular and fairly reliable service would be very much more acceptable to the Kawhia people. Both captains report that the beacons at the Kawhia Heads are at least a quarter of a mile to the north of the main channel and therefore very likely to lead astray any captain not thoroughly acquainted with the entrance to the harbour. It is surely high time that we had a visit from one of the Government steamers to set this dan gerous state of aaairs right. It is also quite time that pressure were brought to bear upon the Government to put up lights at the Kawhia Heads, so that steamerscould get in and out at any hour of the night, instead of, as in the case of in ward-bound steamers, having to beat about outside very often during the whole night. Where is the Liberal Federation ? Where is the Vigilance Committee ? Where is our leading citizen ? To accomplish objects of this nature would be much more praise worthy than some of the designs occa sionally projected in aud around Kawhia. On Saturday evening the Gth hist, in Mr Langley's office, a special meeting of the School Committee, was held to consider the advisability of securing a suitable site for a teacher's residence and applying to the Board of Education for the buildim? of the same ; and it was unanimously decided to lose no time in endeavouring to carry this urgent matter to a satisfactory aad succe 'Sful issue. The chairman, Mr A, E. Laugley, during his recent visit to Auck land, interviewed several Board officials concerning the matter in question, with the result thet it is fairly under way. A new school also will soon be required* but at present the building now in use serves the purpose very well. At a meeting of the local cricket club on Saturday afternoon Mr F. C. Crookes was unanimously elected captain for the en suing season. Our next match comes off on Saturday, the 13t'a Inst., when the Oparua team try conclusions with the local players on the Kawhia ground, and as the visitors have been considerably strengthened of late a good game may be looked forward to. The legatt 1 committee has got out the posters which are beiDg sent ail over the North Island, and a great number of visitors are expected in Kawhia duriug the week of our annual fete. Very soon Mr G. P. Wake, barrister and solicitor, from Stratford, will visit Kawhia and remain here for several weeks. Mr Wake is at the top of his profession, so that those requiring legal advice or any assistance in which a pillar of the law is necessary may avail themselves of the services of Mr Wake, who, it is under stood, will be agreeable to combine pleasure with business during his visit, which begins about the 27th inst. Duing the last few days the weather here has been simply delightful and the surrounding country looks quite pleasant and flourishing ; and various pleasure trips took place from Kawhia yesterday to some of the settlements around the harbour, Oparau being the favourite holiday pleasure resort. It is with no small amount of pleasure thatthe Kawhia people note Mr Witheford's action in very courteously but very firmly and pointedly reminding the Premier of his platform promise to open up and settle the idle lands in the Auckland Province and in the North Island generally, and in forming Mr Seddonthat, although prepared to extend a continued support to the pre sent liberal administration, he has no sym pathy with the Hon. Mr Duncan's rooted objection to treat the North Island fairly in regard to land settlement. If a few more of the newly-elected Auckland mem bers would muster up courage enough to strike out in the same direction as Mr Witheford has done, justice would soon be done to the hitherto neglected North Is land at the hauds of the Government. In deed no member in the present Parliament kuows more about laud and land settle ment than Mr Witherford does, and his elevation to the portfolio of Minister for Lands would ensure a progressive land policy not only for the Nerth Island but for the Colony in general. It would seem only fit and proper for all the Auckland members to give the Govern ment clearlv to understand that their sup port largely depends upon the Auckland Province receiving its fair share of sub sidies and attention; and that however well the Auckland members love the Go vernment, they love Auckland more. Messrs Symons and Co. our mail con tractors between here and Pirongia have just landed in the harbour a fine new oil launch built to their order in Auckland by Messrs Jas. Reid and Co. She is 28ft. long with 7ft Gin beam, engine with a four horse Union oil engine supplied by Ryan and Co., of Auckland, she has a speed of eight miles an hour, and is undoubtedly an acquisition to our harbour. Of handsome model on fine lines, she is to be used in the mail service between Kawhia townships and Oparau, which is the coach terminus at present. It will be a vast improvement on the rowing boat in which our contrac tors have had in the past to battle against wind and tide. She is certainly more con venient for passengers, and will also be available for picnic excursions, etc.,, to any part of the harbour. FAREWELL TO MR. ANDREW. A farewell serial was given to Mr John Aidiewin the Muthmlis: Church, Hamil ton, hist evening. The K.-v. H. L. Bliuniri'. oieupied the chair. The aUoiuhuico wa rather small considering tln> valuable 3or vi -ps Mr Andrew has rendered to the emn munity, but what it lacked in number.-; w.i.s made up in the heartiness of the pro- Ce'dings, and tlm many expressions of goodwill toward Mr and Mrs Andrew. Musical items were given between the speeches. Mr Meaehom sang " Why Should we say Good-bye," tlie. Rev. H. L. .Hlumires '•The Mighty Deep," Mr (.'}. W. Venables "Anchored," and Mr S. Wilson "Queen of the Earth." Mrs Tatton sang a coon son-, " Shine Lady Moonlight," exceedingly well, and Mrs Qualtrough, with the assistance of Mrs Tatton in the chorus, sang "All in tho Hush of Twilight.'' Tliis was a reallv excellent item, the flexible voices of the ladies blending admirably. Miss Moaehem played the accompaniinents verv well. Mr Worsoley, in the course of a few remarks on behalf of the. circuit, said he had formed a very intimate a"(jiiaiutani:c wiili Mi Andrew through haviug had a number of transaction., with him in matters pertaining to the church. He (Mr Andrew) had stepped into fhe breach at a time when the finances of the church wore in a very low state, and when he (Mr Worsley) was elected to office about two years later he found that the financial position of the church had almost righted itself, and this had been accomplished' through the ou'orts of Mr Andrew. He. had always found Mr Andrew a splendid mau to work, for while ho was obstinate when he conceived he was in the right, still he was always ready to listen to argument. Mr Andrew hail done all the work, but he (Mr Worsley) had re ceived a lot of the credit. No doubt the minister would see to it that credentials were forwarded on by Mr Andrew to tho minister in the community were, lie in tended to settle, for he felt it would be a great loss to tho church if he were allowed to fall out of the work. Men of such busi ness ability were not met with every day. He felt sure that no matter where Mi- Andrew might go ho would find the finances of tho circuit in a low state, and his assistance would, no doubt, be required, and if at any time they found they were getting muddled again in Hamilton they would send for him to extricate them. It was with feelings of sorrow that he had to say good-bye to his friends, but wished Mr and Mrs Andrew God-speed no matter in what part their lot might be cast. (Ap plause.) Mr Tidd, on behalf of tho trustees, testi fied to the good work do:r> by Mr Andrews. He would feel his loss very much, for they had grown up togeth !■-, and their acquaintance had extended over a period of 20 years. He could endorse every word that Mr Worsley had said. Mr Andrews had been most conscientious in attending to matters pertaining to the church, and he felt sure that he was only ochoing the sentiments of those present when he said that Mr and Mrs Andrew carried away with them tho goodwill of every member of the congregation. Mr White, as a citizen, spoke of the good work done by Mr Andrews for the com munity, and it was with feelings of regret that he was present on that occasion to say farewell. He had always looked upon him as a staunch friend, and ho desired to thank him (Mr Andrew) for his friendship at a time when he was in need of friends. He spoke of his connection with school committee work, the persistence with which he attended to his duties, and the foresightness which had alway character ised his judgements. As a citizen he had been conscientious, and Hamilton could ill afford to lose men of the stamp of Mr Andrew and concluded by wishing Mr Andrew and his family God-speed. •The ftcv. H. L. Biamircs endorsed the sentiments expressed by previous speakers. On his first meeting with Mr Andrews he was convinced of his business acumen, and while there were times when they had di lie red on matters of business he had always found a friend in him. It was the experience in every walk of life that while things were flourishing there were always plenty to assist, but when they were a bit low there were few who would lend assist ance. The rev. gentleman went on to speak of the brotherhood of Methodism, and the fraternal feelings that would be extended to Mr Andrew wherever ho might go, and, as Mr Androws war, a modest man and would likely remain in the background would so" to it that his credentials would follow him. They owed a debt of gratitude to Mrs Andrews for her self sacrifice in permitting her husband to occupy so many positions, necessitating his absence from home on so many evenings in the week. He trusted that God would bless them materially and spiritually in their now home. It was their intention of making a presentation to Mr and Mrs Andrew, but the time had boon so limited that it was found impossible to do so on that occasion, but it would be forwarded on. Mr Andrew, in reurning thanks, said he only wished that half the things said about him that evening were true. However, it was a pleasure to feel that his efforts had been appreciated for the little he had been able to accomplish. He gave credit to Mr Worsley for having done his fair share of the work, and that gentleman was always ready to take his share of the responsibi lity. There were times whan he hed dif fered with members on matters pertaining to church affairs, but they had nevor quarrelled, and never thought of such a thing. Mrs Andrew and himself would very much have preferred to have gone quietly away, but they were extremely pleased with the excellent social that had been given them, and that they had ac cepted the. invitation to bo paesent. Mr Andrew concluded by saying good-bye on behalf of himself and wife. At the close of the meeting refreshments were provided by the ladies in the school room, and the meeting was brought to a conclusion by those present singing " God be with you till we meet again." CORRESPONDENCE. TO THK EDITOR. Sir,—l noticed in your issue of October 24th a lettor re Lease in Perpetuity by Mr A. Wagsfcaff. As J. have had experience in the lease in perpetuity system I should like to ask Mr Wagstaif if he has had the same before he expresses his opinion to make it compulsory to all lands. As every one in Kawhia knows, a large number of moneyed men withdrew from the last ballot when the Government withdrew the Kawhia South Block from the three ten ure* to the lease in perpetuity system. This example alone shows that men with capital, who would invest it iu land and make the country prosperous, go and seek specula tion elsewhere. As for the lands once be ing common properly, why should a man not have the freewill of a farm if he pays for it, just the same as anything he owns which he pays for ? Now, as almost the whole country depends upon the farmer, why should the townspeople (most of whom have little stake in the land) agitate for systems such as lease-in-perpetuity and single-tax? The farmer is hampered enough now, and earns all he gets. For in stance, if the Single-Tax came into force, the farmers would have to get a better price for their produce to enable them to pay their increased rates ; the oonsequence would be foreign produce could be imported cheaper than local. What would then be come of the country ? I am a great be liever in the three systems in which land can be taken up, but leave it optional, and not force the lease-in-perpetuity system on to the farmer to m ike it easier for the townspeople and harder for the farmer.— I am, etc., H. AEMSTEONG, Kawhia. ALLEGED BREACH OF THE LI CENSING ACT. (Before if. \V. Xorthcroft, Esq., S.M.) WEDNESDAY. The following is tbo continuance of our report of the ease wherein W. H. Knock, licensee of the Waikato Hotel, was charged with Sunday trading. George Prince, platelayer, Claudelands, was n.'xt called. The witness remembered theOtli November, and knew the Waikato Hot'l. Be went- ther" with there with a man na ned Dyinock, between 11 and I p.m. lie saw the police in the hotel and at the time had been in about ten mnutes. Saw no one in the passage, when they went in, bnt two gentlemen arrived shortly after! There was no one about, and after some knocking the barman named Woodhouse came,_aud they told him that thay wanted L'ttlejohn. He could not say where Woodhouse was then, but afterwards saw him in the bar. He did not have a drink while in the hotel. To His Worship: There were six in the passage basides Woodhouse. loSergeaitStapleton; The man I.ittle john that he went to see came in shortly after. They had not finished their busi ness with him when the police arrived, hut Littlejohn had gone to his room. To His Worship: He saw a drink served to Tibbutt by Woodhouse. That was the only one he saw. By Mr Swarbrick : He was on the stairs when he saw Tibbutt served. He was only about three feet away. D e did not sec him pay for the drink. He did not know of any traveller being present beside Humphreys. He did not know what Tib butt had to drink, but he heard him say that he had port wine. i'o His Worship: He did not see Wood house drawing liquors, but the slide was open. There were only four prssent when Woodhouse went into the bar, and opened up the slide, Two others arrived shortly after. The port wine was cilled for before the last two strangers arrived. Arthur Holloway, clerk, called, and gave evidence. He remembered Sunday, Novem ber 9th, and was in the Waikato Hotel on that date. Ho saw the police arrive while there, which was near 1 p.m. He thought there were four or five in the passage at this time. He was by himself. Ho did not see any servant or barman about. He had only just entered the passage when the police entered, so that he had no time to notice anything. He did not notice whether the slide to the bur was open or not Ho did not have any thing to drink, nor did not stfa any others drinking. By Mr Swarbrick: He went to the hotel to see Mr Cassidy to obtain particulars re lative to the sale of a horse. He went there purely on a matter of business, and not for the purpose of obtaining a drink. Edward John Dymock, bootmaker, Hamilton, said be remembered Sunday, November 9th. He visited the hotel on that day with Prince. They entered through the backyard, and went straight through to the end of the passage. There was no one present when they went in, but four others arrived shortly afterwards, making six, two of whom were said to be commercial travellers. He saw Woodhouse there. He had no liquor, and did not go there for that purpose, but went there for the purpose of seeing a friend of his from town, named Mr Littlejohn. He was in vited by Littlejohn to have a drink, but this was after the police had been there, and they did not get one. Before the police arrived he did not see any drink served. From where he sat it was almost impossible for him to see. Constable Potter remembered the date in question, and visited the Waikato Hotel in company with Sargeant Stapieton, at 12.45 p.m. Entered the Hotel by the side en trance, and passed through the side passage into the main passage. There were six there, five of whom he knew but the sixth was a stranger whose name he did not take. When the police arrived the men in the passage made a move to come out again, but he told them to remain until ho had taken their names. Tibbutt had a long glass in his hand. There was liquor it, a portion of which had b,ien drunk, but he could not say what it was. The glass was paased back into the bar, when the police arrived. From where he' stood, he could not see what the barman was doiug. The proprietor. Mr Knock, came in from the back, and inquired what all the men were doing there; he said that he had just come back from a drive, and did not know what the men were doing on his premises. The slide of the bar was pulled down, and the men went out. The Sergeant made a remark to Mr Knock that Sunday trading was carried on there. By Mr Swarbrick : The door found open was the one usually used on Sunday by boarders. Sergeant Stapleton sworn deposed that he remembered Sunday the 9th, went to Waikato Hotel by the passage leading to the main corridor. He saw the barman in the a-f. of passinc out liquor in a number of glasses on a tray" and men standing near sii!j which communicated with bar, the window lining open. Those present were : Messrs Tib' >utt, Humphries, Dymock, Prince, Holloway and a young man who said he was a traveller. The barman, Woodhouse, was inside the bar p.nd another man was passing out. Tib but was drinking liquor from a glass and ou seeing the police enter, he passed it into the bar. The barman closed down the window, and he took the names of those present. Mr Knock then came in and in answer to the remark that Sunday t-ading was carried on; he denied that such was the case. Th's closed the case for the prosecu tion. Mr Swarbrick in opening the case for the defence, said his client was one of the few men, a rapidly diminishing body who owned their own hotels, and thus the charge wasofmost serious consequences to him. All the witnesses called by the police with the exception of one man denied having liquor. Counsel briefly referred to the evf denco to be led, and quote! several sections of the Alcoholic Liquors Sale Control Acts in support of the contention that the sale was within the law inasmuch as it was effected under the impression that it was to a bona fide traveller. Mr Swarbrick then called Alfred Woodhouse, barman at Knock's Hotel, who deposed that he remembered Mr Tibbutt coming tc the hotel on Novem ber 9th. The latter asked for a drink and said he was a traveller. Witness then served him with a drink. Had never seen him before, and believed him when he said he was a traveller. He was in the bar in order to give a diiink to Mr Moate, a gentleman from Gisbome, who was a boarder at the hotel at the time. Beth Tibbutt and his friend had drinks; both said they were travellers. None of the others had a drink. By Sergt.. Stapleton: Humphreys was the friend referred to. He had received no money. Both said they were travellers, and that he would be compelled to give them a drink. His Worship: Surely you knew you are not compelled to give drink to every man who asks for it. Witness i Did not ask them where they came from. By His Worship : Did not ask where they slep the night before. By Sergt. Stapleton: Had been in Hamilton about ten months, and had never seen Tibbutt. Had never heard of Tibbutt Bros.' photographers. Except for cleaning out the bar, he had never been in the bar that morning, and had served no ono. Eem3mbTed the police coming in, Mr Moate having just gone out. Had not drawn any liquor Ifor any one except Tib bu't. Sergeant Stableton: If I swore in evidence that I saw a number of glasses of liquor in the bar would I be telling the truth. When his Worship read the police evi* denoe witness said it was incorrect. The liquor in the glasses was left over from the night before. '* ' ! J By His Worship : There were five in the bar when the police entered, Tibbutt and his friend came first. This was all the evidence. His Worship in giving judgment said that it bad been held botb by the late and present Chief Justices that simply asking a man if he were a traveller would nt justify selling liquor. That was not a reasonable enquiry as to whether or not a man was a traveller. It was necessary to ask where the traveller had slept the previous night. Taking a man's word that he was a traveller was not sufficient. Defendant would bo ' fined 40s, and costs 17s 6d no witnesses ex penses being allowed. MAINTENANCE CASES. ♦ HAMILTON S.M. COURT. (Before H. W. Nortncroft, Esq., S.M.) Wednesday, Dkcember 10th, 1002. BASTABLE v. BA STABLE. James, Edward (.;., Frederick, and Hirold Bastable were charged with that they had failed lo provide for their father, who was incapable of supporting for him self. •Mr Swarbrick appeared for the defen dants, who pleaded not guilty. James Bastable, the complainant, made a statement to the eifect that he had made application to his eldest sen for assistance, and atked him to bring the matter before his brothers, but they refused to comply with his request. by Mr Swarbrick : The complainant said he was engaged at the present time at Mr Shaw's, Tauwhere. He had been there two months, doing work of a light character, for which he got board, lodging, and tobacco, but he received no wages. On special occasions he gave him enough money for travelling purposes. In October last ho was working for Mr Coatee, but he found the work too bard. After he worked for Mr Tristram, and then for Mr Bennett, mindiug children. He did not sp«ad the bulk in drink, because he had to provide himself with food. For the last seventeen years he had not lived with his family, and had not provided for them dar ing that period. To his Worship: He had a married daughter and there was a single one at home with his wife. They were maintained by the product from the farm. Mr Swarbrick submitted- that it was not neee;sary to call evidence, as the man was a worthless individual who had never done anything for his family, and by his own showing was not a destitute person as he was receiving board, lodgings, tobacco, and sums of money. The case was dismissed. WAUGH v. WAUGH, Robert Waugh was charged with failing to provide for the support of his aged mother. The accused said he had no offer to make. Mr Dyer appeared for the complainant. The defendant said he had a brother named William, but did not know where he was at the present time. Relative to a property held in his and his brother's nameT" he did not purchase the property from his father, but from his stepfather, at the price of £&0. He paid £125, for which he had previously worked. He was a miner at Huntly, and earned from 8s to 'Os per day, but did not get full time. He was living on the property with his father, who was a cripple. They had lived in Huntly abont 17 years. He was a married man with a wife and two children. There was a little stock on the property, some of which be longed to him. There was no mortgage on the property. Couusel for the complainant submitted that the evidence taken on a previous occa sion against the husband was sufficient to prove that his client was a destitute per son. His Worship did not think that the evi dence taken against the father could be used against the son. He could find no law warranting him in doing so. Examination continued by Mr Dyer: The defendant did not know where his mother was at the present time. He did not know how his mother was being provid ed for, but as she was living with her daughters they were m d iubt providing for her. She had about £6O whon living at home, besides which his father had given her money since. Mr .Dyer asked for an adjournment so that the complainant might be brought from Auckland. The defendant stated that he was being put to considerable expense in being brought backward and forward, and he was only earning a living at the present time. He asked that he be allowed expenses. His Honor pointed out that the property which he was at present occupying was got together by his mother, and she was now a destitute person. He could not make costs against a destitute person. The case was adjourned to the 9th of January, 1903. GOODWIN v. GOODWIN. Henry Goodwin was charged, on the in formation of his wife, that he had failed to provide for the support of his wife and children. Mr Swarbrick appeared for the com plainant, and Mr Dyer for the defendant Majorie Winifred Goodwin, sworn, said: She was married in May 7, 1893, and there were four children by the marriage, the eldest of whom was seven in April last, and the youngest three the 25th of May last. Up to the 4th September he always came home and gave his cheque, which amounted to .£5 4s, and after paying the baker and grocer she had; 7s 6d left. Out of her own earnings she paid the butcher's bill, and provided clothing for the whole family. On the 21st October her husband stcppedher '" credit. On the 22nd November her grocer offered to supply her with groceries to the amount of £2 10s per month, and had not supplied her with anything since. Cross-examined by Mr Dyer: She did ■ not know of any reason why her husband treated her as he did. Her husband had offered to give her ten shillings per week to support herself and four children which was not sufficient, She had not been able to work lately in consequence of ill-health. She admitted assaulting her husband when he came back to take his things away, and this was for saying that she kept a bad house. She had prevented him from entering because of the lateness of the time he came home. She c-juld not state definitely what she earned by dressmaking. She thought it would be a fair thing for him to give her 15s, which will leave lis for him self. Henry Goodwin, called, stated that he lived at Mr Hawkin's, aboat six miles fro. a Hamilton, where he had been nve year* He earned 2Cs per week and had to fin! himself. He had been in the habit of bringing his money home, bat had Btoppe I doing this in September last. On tha 29th of this month he went home at 11 p.m. but his wife refused him admittance. Irrelevant evidence being introduced bis Worship said he thought it was desirable not to go into the matter as it did not af fect the position. The accused, in courss of further orjbs examination, said the most he could offer was £2 10s per month. It was true that there was an order made against him to keep the peace at the time he visited the house late at night. Ee-examined by Mr Dyer : He reckoned that his wife averaged 16s per weeL at dressmaking. By Mr Swarbrick: He could not state definetly how much his wife earned, but took her word for it. He thought his wife had steady work. He could not state how much sbe had earned during the last twelve mouths. His Worship made an order granting the wife 6s, and 2s 6d for each child per weft, Costs were given against the defendant; Till] WAIKATO TIMES, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 11 1902 I S S JJA I S S E N, KNOX STREET, HAMILTON.

Mr li. S. Guthrie, replying on be half of the seamen, controverted the owner's statements, ami urged that the falling oil' in trade was not so i great as represented. Mr Appleton called attention to the .I une conference when the seamen agreed t> accept a reduction of ten shillings a month from the end () f January provided there had been no improvement in trade meantime. He then proposed a reduction of a pound a month to date from the end of January next. The seamen's delegates refused to accept the reduction or to make any concession, but were willing to renew the present agreement.

The full court consisting of the Chief Justice and three other justices heard the appeal against the convic tion of the Kennii'fs. The grounds for the appeal we-re. that there was no evidence of Doyle's death and no evid ence that Patrick and James Kenniff acted in concert. The Court upheld the conviction, Justice Ileal dissenting. He said there was sullicient evidence that Doyle was dead, but no evidence to support the theory that James took part in the murder unless they ac cepted the conjecture that he would naturally help his brother.

BATTLESHIPS IN WAX. One of the most important, and certainly the least known, of our naval establishments is the testing house at Haslar. So jealously are the secrets of this place guarded, that naval officers, even, are not allowed to enter it, unless they first obtain an official permit. These permits arc hut sparingly granted, for the liritish Admiralty has a penchant for not letting its right hand, as represented by one branch of the service, know what its left hand, represented by other branches, is doing. In this case, secrecy is not maintained with out good reason, for the testing-tank, to give the place its every-day name, is a sort of incubator, where the ideas of naval architects are hatched out. When the Chief Constructor deshms a new ship, his proposals are laid be fore the Admiralty, and, if approved, a rough draft is sent to the officials in charge of the testing-tank. These make a complete model of the pro posed new man of war, and carry out experiments which demonstrate' to a nicety whether a ship of the sui>- mitted design will achieve what is ex pected of it. The model is made to scale, and of paraffin wax, the only substance suit able for the purpose. It is thorn placed in a long tank filled with water. To the bow of the model is affixed a length of string, having a weight hung at the other end of it. This weight gradually draws the model along the tank. As it moves, calculations are made which give the speed of the vessel under various conditions, and with different engine powers: Stability is also ascertained, for two guides run on either side of the model the full length of the tank. Careful watch is kept to see whether the model heels to one side or the other, and not un til it lias floated the full distance, without touching the guides, is the stability correct. Should the model lean to one side or the other, the top heavy parts are carefully shaved off, until perfect equilibrium is obtained. The shavings are then weighed in delicate balances, and calculations made in various parts of the ship to ensure her the right degree of meta centric height. When this has been done, the information obtained is sent up to the Admiralty. The necessary modifications are made, and the com plete plans of the ship got out. Once again the testing-tank is called into operation. More wax models are made and tried, and not until the officials at Haslar report that all is as desired is the order to build the ship given. The tanks were established as the outcome of a series of important ex periments in the etiect of wave-motion on ships. These experiments were begun by the late Mr Froude (a brother of James Anthony Froude), who made discoveries of such impor tance that the Admiralty adopted his methods of research, and set up the establishment at Haslar, placing Mr Froude in charge of it. A DRASTIC LABOUR LAW. The Legislature of Nicaragua re cently brought into force a law, pas sed last year, that caused considerable consternation among some sections of the community. The measure pro vides that any labourer found out of employment shall be imprisoned for twenty days, and that at the expira ation of his sentence he shall be em ployed on public works until he is able to obtain other occupation. A labour er is defined as a person over the age of sixteen who does not possess capi tal equal to at least 500 pesos, about £2O in English currency. When an employer hires a labourer the latter must purchase from the Government a small book in which to register his name, age and general characteris tics, and the details of the contract into which he has entered. This book the employer takes charge of' and the unhappy labourer is given a l receipt, which he can produce when ever he is arrested by the police on the suspicion of being idle. Any per son employing a labourer without this book is liable to a fine of about £B. If the labourer wants money in advance, the employer can give it to him only as a loan without interest, and must recoup himself by retaining one-half of whatever wages, in his munificence, he has agreed to pay. If a labourer leaves his employer with out paying his debt, he can' be im - prisoned, fined and compelled to re turn to work till he has cleared him self. The promoters of this measure alleged that their main purpose was the highly laudable one of preventing employers from advancing wages to labourers on a. contract' and, by charging high rates of interest, practi cally making them slaves for an inde finite period. The effect, of course, will be to place the employees more completely than ever under the control of the capitalist. The lab ourer must work or go to gaol, and is, therefore, forced to accept' any terms the employer cares to offer. In case of a strike, all the workers who threw themselves out of employment would be at once arrested. The law will apply practically only to native workers, as Europeans will soon amass the great amount of capital that is necessary to remove them from the de fined ranks of labour, but it illustrates in rather a striking matter what the working man may expect in the way of legislation when he is taken in hand by the beneficent employer. It would be rather interesting" to see what the Nijaraguan Government would do with such labour problems as we have had to solve in this coun try. Its gaols could not help it over all its troubles. Till; WAIKATO TIMES, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1902. TKBBSDAY, MCEHSH* U, 1908. Cools the Blood Hot weather takes the Jife out of everybody. You become languid, de bilitated, nervous, depressed. You lose your appetite and you have indi gestion. Your blood becomes impure, your head aches, your nerves are weak, and you are tired all the time. You want something to purify your blood and make it cool and healthy. k-sot Mr. Giovanni D'Nesi, of Parkside, South Australia, tells you how this may be done. He sends his photograph also. "In this warm and debilitating climate I believe nearly every one needs a good tonic. | or a number of years I have relied on Ayer's Sarsaparilla. I can strongly testify to its curative power in cooling the blood in hot weather and in toning up the whole system. It is a wonderful medicine." AYER'S Sarsaparilla There are many imitation " Sarsaparillas." Be sure you get Ayer's. Ayer's Pills are Liver Pills.

Hunter's usual sale was held yesterday, and was attended by a great number ot both buyers and sellers ; among the former was a representative of a Home firm, who purchased several lots for export. 1 he heid of cows advertised for sale by Mr C . Hutchinson attracted a number of buy e s of dairy cows, and from first to last bidding was spirited and good, the quality of the cows being above the average Some of them were really first-class, two of which reached the very satisfactory prices of £Lo 10s and „£)3,being purchased by Jlr 11. Coop and Mr Kanstead respectively. This herd has taken some years to get together, and it will not bo an easy matter to collect another herd of equal quality. There was a full supply of all classes of stock, but with a few excep tions the fat stock was not of extra quality, much that was offered being quite on the lean side. Stores eold well, and the same remark applies 11 most lines that were offered, there being but fow passed in. A large quantity of young stock calves and yearlings were offered and prices were fully equal to late values; some pens of these wero of real good quality. Sheep were about equal to the demand and brought prices which should be satisfac tory to the sellers. Pigs were in extra full supply and although the bidding was free and spirited, prices were not anything like equal to those realised for some time past. This was one of the most successful sales held for some time and Mr C. Hunter was kept busv from start to finish, which was not til! about (5.30 p.m. Prices ranged as under :—Fat steers up to £lO 10s, aTws, £Q 15s, £7 7s 6d, £8 ss, and £9 10s ; heifers, £'l 15s to £'.) 10; store steer:; X\ Bs, and Xo ; Dairy btdl, £7.

The Waikato Times THAMES VALLEY GAZETTE, AND KAWHIA ADVOC A TE. THE OLDEST DAILY NEWSPAPER IN THE WAIKATO. FRIDAY, DECEMBER 12, 1902. LEST WE FORGET. A cabi.eokam which we published yes terday stated that an influential meet ing, attended by Princesses Christian and Beatrice, had been held in London with the view of impressing on employers the crying needs of 70,000 reservists and time-expired soldiers now idle. This movement unmistakeably gives evidence of the greatly modified opinion of the British regulars now held by the people of England. ' Formerly the soldier was looked upon as a' mere lighting machine, which could be thrown aside with impunity and with no moral responsibility, when he be came worn out or unneeded. Hap pily this semi-barbarous idea is now fast dying out, and civilians are beginning to realise that the "redcoat" is, after all, brother man, erring perhaps, but more as the natural result of this social ostracism than from any undue criminality in herent to his nature. Accustomed to hardship, and uncontrolled by the dearest ties of home and kindred, the soldier naturally develops the rougher side of his character : that this is so constitutes a blot upon our nation al treatment of our defenders. Eng land has particular occasion to re member her "absent-minded beggars" who saved the Empire more often than most of us unacquainted with the secret history of the world are prob ably aware of. .Many and many a time the fate of the Empire "has weighed in the balance against the action of a solitary soldier on outpost on some distant frontier, while in the more cultured and pleasure loving cities the dance and the drinking-cup were the only things thought of. Although naturally we in New Zealand have not the same aeuteness of the trouble as obtains in England, there has yet been some cry that the returned troopers have not received fair treatment in the offering of facilities for their settlemenl on the land. We do not say that some of the trouble has notarisen deservedly through the fault of the troopers them selves, but there are genuine eases where the soldier is really anxious to get into harness in the making of a home for himself. On behalf of these, Mr Witheford has shown himself a staunch champion. for which he deserves great credit and a far larger measure of success than has hitherto attended his efforts. Of course the objection is raised that the scheme is open to grave abuses, but with proper safeguards these can be prevented; Mr Witheford is keen enough to propound a workable system. A little judicious help and encouragement now is far better than the provision of homes and refuges in the future for the broken and needy, for besides assisting the indivi dual, the State is also a large gainer. It is to be hoped that during the next session a more comprehensive measure of assistance will be granted than the meagre area of land already set apart for the settlement of our returned troopers.

Our Kawhia correspondent writes ; Eight cases of slygrog selling, four against Falwassers, two against Floyds, and one each against Dan Noonan and Hill, caught by special spies, come up for hearing on Tuesday, 16th, before Mr Northcroft, S.M. at Te Awamutu. Old residents say that the stock sale con ducted at Hamilton yesterday by Mr W. J. Hunter was one of the best yet held in the Waikato. Taken as a whole the stock was of exceptional quality, and coming as it did from the farms of reliable breeders commanded really high prices. His Excellency the Governor.accompanied by the Hon. C. H. Mills, Commissioner of Trade and Customs, will shortly visit the Cook Islands, where the Minister will en quire into the wants of the islanders and ascertain their wishes in regard to trade relations with New Zealaud. • The headsmau of the Japanese capital has just died, after a manner which almost melodramatically illustrates the dramatic fitness ot things.

[Adyt.! " Christmas is coming " is the burden of the children's song at this season of the year, as with longing hopefulness they await the advent of the evergreen, though aged, Santa Claus. Santa Claus is a most accommodating gentleman, who seems to possess an infallible intuition as to the exact present the little one desires. Should a pretty doll, a wonderful working model, or a good book arrest the attention of a child, that particular thing is bound to find its way in some mysterious manner into the stocking trustingly hungup by the bedside. Messrs Upton and Co. have just got in a stock of books and cards which should afford an excellent range for the fancy of the little ones and give Santa Clau3 a heavy task in providing for their wants. An opinion of considerable importance to hotelkeepers and boardinghouse-keepers has recently been given by the Solicitor- CTeneral to the Department of Agriculture. The question was as to whether hotel or boardinghouse-keepers who keep cows for supplying their own boarders only had to have their dairies registered. The follow ing is the opinion :—"On the whole, I think that in the case quoted the milk is sold, and consequently the dairy should be registered. The case is clearly one within the meaning cf the Act. If an hotekeeper or a boardinghouse-keeper can supply in fected milk with impunity he may dissem inate disease in wholesale fashion." WHAT DOES THE NEGLECT OF A BAD COLD MEAN ? Only too frequently a serious attack of Pnenmonia and the sowing of the seeds of that ecourge of humanity, Consumption.

At the recent dinner given by the Agricultural and Pastoral Associa tion in Blenheim, several of the speakers urged the Opplication of that industry to the natural resources of the district, sayin" that a portion of the colony is highly fa vourable for cattle stocking. " ' Here is a recipe for long life—" How to live to a hundred," by one who has done it. First make up your mind to livo to that age. Most people, it seems, expect to die about seventy, and for that very reason they generally do die then. This is the biggest part of the recipe. Eat very mode rately ; little or no meat—mostly fruit and grains. Two meals per diem is quite enough, as most people simply gorge them selves. Never overload the stomach. Drink distilled water exclusively, and take regular systematic exercise daily, no matter how much ordinary work you have to go through ; that does not count as exer cise. A very practical joke has been performed upon a well-known Manawatu Scotsman-. Recently, he was taking home two specially tine sleep. Both sheep wore splendid fleeces, and the farmer was justly proud of his purchases, and he made special arrangements with a shearer to visit his farm on the following day to shear the sheep. <in reaching home, ho left them in the trap while he paid a, visit to a neigh hour, hi the course of half-an-hour, he met another friend, and volunteered to show him the woolly wonders he had pur chased. Judge of his rage and consterna tion when he found that during his ab sence some practical joker had shorn both sheep. It is now unwise for anyone, wish ing to avoid hostilities, to mention the word " wool " in the farmer's presence, and he would be a bold man, indeed who would dare to bleat within a hundred yards of him. SPRAINS are often more serious than broken bones on acconnt of not being pro perly treated. Apply Chamberlain's Pain Balm freely as soon as the injury is re ceived and it will quickly restore the parts to a healthy condition. \Y. DEY, Aeent Hamilton; THOMAS WELLS, Agent' Cambridge; GEO. M.

THE NATIVE POLICY. IMPORTANT SPEECH BY THE FREMIER. (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) WANGANUI, Yesterday. Mr Seddon addressed a representative g;ithering}of Maoris at Pufciki yesterday- He contradicted the report of his remarks at Papawai r.'gp.nling the Maoris and the Boer War, au.l n led that he intended to leavethe colony. Usaidareportthathewas to leave for Soul L Africa had been circu lated by those who wished he would do so. The wish had been father to the thought. "You have still got Ruapehe, Touganro and Egmont " said Mr SfUdon, " they are fixtures and so am I." Referring to the proposed legislation, Mr Seddon urged the Maoris to give permission to surveyors to survey native blocks at once, in order that the Maori Councils, on meeting on tne 14th January next, could be in a position to immediately throw the land open for settle ment. The Government intended to ap point a person who would be responsible for the survey of Maori land. This official would be a resident in the locality of the block, and the usual difficulty of communicating with the Commis sioner of Lands would be obviated. Mouey would be advanced for roads' and bridges through the Native Land Department on the same conditions as under the Lands for Settlement Act, and the cost of survey could be repaid by in stalments spread over a reasonable period. The Government were greatly pleased at the manner in which the Maori Councils performed their duties, and he (the Premier) was of opinion that the Government would from time to time extend the Council's powers. He announced that Dr. Pomare had been placed in control of all sanitary matters affecting the Maori race. The Premier also stated that the Government intended to increase the number of young Maoris now studying for- pro fessional careers. They would be drafted from different tribes, and would receive pro fessional instruction, on condition that they devotod their services to the welfare of the Maori race. The Government wished to give not only general education to the Maoris of both sexes, but also technical education. Mr Seddon srated that next session a bill would be introduced givinc the Maoris the privilege of voting at the ballot box. The Premier concluded by urg ing the Maoris to elect members who would support the Government in thpir proposed legislation. After Mr Seddou concluded his speech several natives, in cluding Mr Hone Heke, spoke strongly in favour of the Government policy. INTERPROVINCIAL. EXPORT OF POULTRY.

President Castro informed the Britisli and German representa tives that he deemed the seizure of warships lying at the quay arbitrary and unprecedented, raining the indig nation of the Venezuelans to the highest pitch, and that as a justifiable reprisal the Government arrested 97 Germans and all the British residents except two. He seized their railways and appealed to the Venezuelans to take arms. INTERNAL DISSENSIONS. NEW YORK, December 9.

SYDNEY, Deo. 11. No fresh development has taken place in the Maritime trouble, but it is un derstood the owners are preparing another statement dealing with the situation, and traversing the statement made by the men's delegates. The latter met to-day, and discussed the official report of the conference issued last night. Their deliberations are kept secret, but it is understood noth ing delinite has been decided upon. They are waiting on the owners to make the next move. They declare that until then no action will be taken and that they will allow things tore main as they are. The men disavow any intention to provoke a strike, but are determined not to accept the £1 reduction. THE MEN'S SIDE CF THE QUESTION. SYDNEY, December 11. Both sides express determination not to retreat from the positions they have taken up. The seamen's delegates, in inter views, stated that the attitude they took at the conference was that in the face of the large dividends paid during the past twelve months no warrant existed for the proposed enormous re duction in wages, equivalent to L3per cent. They urged that the New Zealand arbitration award given since last con ference waspreferableto the agreement under which seamen worked in Austra lia. The New Zealand conditions would be accepted by the Australian union: they were a fair compromise, which shipowners might have ac cepted. On these lines there would have been a reduction of 10s per month although a slight alteration in hours and other particulars would have re sulted. The delegates say that the men are in no way to blame for the present position. They urged that the June agreement, under which they undertook to accept a reduction if trad* had not improved, did not hold, because trade had undoubtedly improved. As to the question of foreign compeeition, they contended that it no longer existed. Tn support of this they stated that a certain ves sel which had previously sailed under ! a foreign flag, was now trading under the Britisli flag, with a British crew paid at Australian rates. They also declared that up to the present, there were no signs of competition on the part of vessels released at the ter mination of the war. They are deter-' mined to fight for the men's rights at all costs. There are altogether some 2000 seamen engaged in the inter state trade. A representative of a firm of own ers says that they ihtend to sign men on on reduced pay, and hoped to sign on all hands, and that they would work amicably. Unless there was an un precedented improvement in business, which was most improbable, the own ers would be unable to accept any compromise. WAIKATO SHOW SITE.

CHURCH OF ENGLAND BAZAAR io v> > promoters the successful issue fo any function long pending always gives satisfaction and pleasure ; hut when the ob ject served is a worthy one, those feelings are to a very large extent shared in by the general public. Surh is tin- ease with the Bazaar and Sale of Work held in the Vol unteer Hall, yesterday, in aid i.f the funds of St. refer'h Church, Hamilton. It has oeen known generally that ('. r various rea sons the finances of the chureh wore not so flourishing as could be desired, and the members of the Ladi'-a' Worker-.' Guild, with a charitable purp.vo some of the sterner sex might with profit emulate in re gard to religious matters, set themselves the task of lightening the load of debt which to some extent has hampered the ex orcise of the truest fu ictions of the church. The successful holding of a bazaar en tails months of patient ;ind unremitting la bour on the part of all concc rued, and the "mere male," casually glancing at the articles so tastefully and temptingly dis played on the stalls, is rather apt to over look this phase of the affair. Leaving aside, for the nonce, the executive of the Guild, wo must congratulate the ladies who aided with donations of work, on the uniform ex cellence, taste and utility of the multitud inous articles, which, moreover, were priced at very reasonable figures, so that a "roaring trade'* was done, both in the afternoon and evening, the stalls present ing quite a bare appearance by eight o'clock Entering the Hall, tho visitor was struck with the general appearance, gay and ani mated, of the interior; the various stalls having been gaily decorated by the fair stallholders. On the immediate left was the principal stall, that of the workers' guild, under the the charge of Mesdames I. Voates, Saudes, I3urd and Jolly. On this stall was displayed all the usual stock-in-trade of a sale of work which, judging by the number of articles sold, should contribute in no mean way towards the general funds. Next, was the produce stall under the able control of Misses Munro and Moore, where all kinds of vegetables in season were arranged. On the opposite site the visitor came to the second stall of importance, where Misses I. Sandes,C. Jolly, and S. Mansell found no difficulty in dis posing of the fancy work of the girls' guild. Miss Atkinson and Miss Coates were next visited and judging by the small army of juveniles in the hall, their profits should be great. Even boys of an older growth felt tempted to sample the home made confectionery so bewitch ingly offered. Last, but by no means least, the stall whereon were flower and pot plants was visited, and the beautiful ex hibits, tastefully arranged, made one of tho most attractive features of the show. This stall was under the management of Miss Searancke, the Misses O'Neill, and Mrs C. Blackburn. The stage, comfortably fitted up for the providing of afternoon tea, supper and ice-cream, was thronged all day by visitors, who thoroughly ap preciated the comforts provided. Miss M. McPherson and Mrs Jolly, assisted by Misses Biggs and McPherson, were most at tentive to the wants of their numerous patrons, and contributed in no small degree to the enjoyment of the affair. The other attractions consisted of guess ing the name of the bride, under the sup erintendence of Miss Holloway ; and the Christmas cake controlled by Miss Stevens j the snowball, the great juvenile delight! rolled with unceasing energy by Miss H. Graham ; the bran tub presided over by Miss Mansell, and the shooting gallery, where Miss K. Graham had n very able as sistant in Mr Willie McNicol. Mrs Bright kindly lent a phonograph, which placed on the stage and set in motion at intervals, provided a pleasant source of amusement. The bazaar was opened about 2 p.m. by the Rev. I). (!. Bates, who expressed pleas ure at declaring the sale of work open. For a long time, he said, the ladies of the guild had worked patiently and persever '. ingly towards the object they had in view ; as was usual in these cases, they had to look to the ladies for help. The meet ings of the guild afforded pleasure and in struction, especially to the younger ladies, in tho art of needlework and contributed also to the social life of the Church. He enumerate 1 the attractions of the sale of work, and concluded by wishing the workers of the guild the greatest success and en couragement in their good work. During the afternoon and evening the hall was crowded and the receipts amounted t) about £7O, a most substantial addition to the funds of the church. The pleasure of the function was greatly augmented by the excellent programme of instrumental and vocal music rendered by the following ladies and gentlemen ■. Misses Searancke, Coates, Gillespie, Swarbrick, Lambert, Graham, C. Holloway; Mesdames Burd, H. I. Biggs, and Bosworth ; Messrs Vinson-Dossetor, Pan ton and Bosworth Tiio former gentleman is a recent arrival, from Australia, where he studied music under the well-known Signor Cecci, Madame Melba'a Australian teacher; he p38808868 a light tenor of good range, which gives evidence of the first-class training re ceived. The whole programme was super vised by Mrs H. I. Biggs. Tho executive committee are to be con gratulated on the success of the whole affair, and all those who took an active part may rest assured that their efforts on the church's behalf are fully appreciated. These good deeds are of that kind which are done hiddenly.bnt special mention must be made of Mr and Mrs Coates, the latter acting as Hon. Sec, and the Rev. I). c. Bates, who was indefatiguablo in his efforts to pro mote the success of the bazaar and the com forts and enjoyment of its patrons. HAMILTON CHORAL SOCIETY. To-night the Hamilton Choral Society's first concert will be given in the Volunteer Hall, when Bach's tuneful operetta " Merrie Men of Sherwood Forest " will be given in cantata form, The conductor, Mr T. «H. Boswor hj, has singularly happy in the choice of his soloists, who are well suited for tho parts allotted to them, while the chorus and orchestra maybe confidently relied upon to materially assist in producing a coneort worthy of tho close attention to detail which has characterised members. The s doists are Miss Maunsell, Mesdames Ray nor Skeet and Brewis ; Messrs C. Stewart, Turbott, S. Meachf-m, F. Jolly, S. Wilson, G. Edgecumbe, Macferson and T. Hartlv. The operetta will be preceded by a short miscellaneous programme including songs by Miss Walker, Mrs Eaynor Skeet, MessT-s J. Bathurst, C. Stewart, S. Meachem and Macferson. From the excellence of the practices which have been held lately, we can honestly recommend attendance at the concert, which will be of a quality equal to any hitherto given by local talent. Tickets pnee 2s and Is may be obtained from any Bninberof the Society. NEWCASTLE ROAD BOARD The monthly meeting of the above Board was held at the office. Ohote, on Wednes day last.

THE DESERTION OF WHAKA REWAREWA. A correspondent in the Hawera Star of a recent issue writes as fol lows on the above matter :—" Your Saturday's telegrams contained one to the effect that "there has been a general exodus from Whakarewarewa this week, in consequence of a pre diction by a tohunga of an eruption in Geyser Valley."" We are further told that the natives became alarmed in consequence of the action of the Government in certain operations in tended to revive the dormant energies of the Waikiti geyser, which has been for some time quiescent. Waikiti was one of the chief attractions of the district, and the most beautiful of all with its splendid silicated terrace. The natives were also a great attrac tion to the tourist, so that in trying to recover one allurement the Govern ment has, for a time at least, lost another. Mr Donne, of the Tourist Department, has evidently treated very lightly the opinion of the Maori tohunga, whose fears are the result of the dread experience of 1886, and, has thought himself qualified to make a counter prediction, that there will be no erup tion, with intent to convince the natives. But careful enquiry has led me to believe that Maori to hungas are of many kinds, and in clude not only those who deal with psychological problems, but the thoughtful and expert in those things which in our more forward civilisation are the realms of the man of science. Added to a study of human nature which make them skillful to deceive on occasion, the tohunga is a student of the forces of nature, and a careful observer of natural phenomena. Hence his his success is what is [ flippantly called prophecy, and he only becomes celebrated when he has given proof of his skill. It would not be sufficient ,to influence the ordinary Maori by prophecy that a European has a Government appointment, nei ther will he think that with that ap pointment the official was entitled to don the mantle of the prophet, and his counter prophecy will thus fall flat. A review of the situation will convince the unprejudiced that the Maoris have much reason on their side. To revive the energies of Wai kiti the Government agents turned a running steam down an extinct geyser contiguous so W r aikiti, so that the cold water could reach the heated rocks and ther mal forces below, and cause geyser action to resume from its for mer vent. The Maoris theory of the eruption of 1886, is that the water of Rotomahana found access through a crevasse to the fires below with the result that so large a quantity of steam was suddenly generated that the bottom of the lake was blown out. The proof of this is that the first fall of detritus from the eruption was en tirely composed of mud, which indeed was a great safeguard from the igni- : tion of the .district by such fires as those of Mount Pelee, when the second phrase of Tarawera outbreak was reached in the vomiting forth of ' fiery stones. The latter fell on a layer of mud and when they reached the interior of the house were siezed hold of by the occupants with wet cloths and thrown away. Evidence of the two phases is in existence to day, fir.t in the long rift left by the explosion, which reaches from Lake Rotomahana to the top of the moun tain ; and secondly by a distant crater on the summit, from which the fiery stones and pumice dust came. The late Mr Mal froy, from a careful study of geyser action, was able by a "conveyance of water through iron pipes' to thermal centres, to produce the miniature geysers in the sanatorium grounds at Rotorua. This was doing the thing in moderation, but there appear reason in the native alarm when they see a good sized stream iurned into a fiery furnace below and the same action promoted as caused the erup tion which decimated their numbers in 1886. T may mention that the re port of Professor Augelo Heilprin, the greatest expert in the world, perhaps, in an article in the Fort-' nightly Review for September shows ! a remarkably similarity exists be tween the commencement of the erup- • tion of Mount Pelee and that of Tarawera. Cold water had some thing to do with both. Says the professor :—" A small active cone :',O feet in height and 50 feet in diameter, and not known to exist before had on April 27th been thrust up through the lake. It seemed evident that it -\vas the bursting of this cauldron that sen>4k>wn with the velocity of an ex press &Kain the avalanche of mud which ovel-helmed the Usine Guerin." The conclusions of a tohunga and those of a science expert arrived at by experience, tlrs one at] Tarawera and the other at Mount Pelee, do not appear to differ.—l am, etc., ROIUN;STUDHOLME. ■n E HAIiUHo TIMES, FBIDAT. mnanmt ~ , J.'

Tin; sjieccli delivei'i'il By the Prcuiier at l'utiki oil Tluii'silay forecasts what is undoubtedly the must progressive policy iifhVcting the .Maoris yet enun ciated By a responsible leader of politicul action. For years it has Been evident that the native race were not receiving that nmount of attention and consideration from the white population which is un doubtedly their just due. not inerelv as the original possessors of the soil, but in perhaps greater measure from the latent possibilities for higher develop ment which they exhibit. The .Mauri is universally admitted to be one of the linos! of aboriginal races, and it be hoves every New Zeaiander to do his minus; to prevent the decadence, moral or physical, of this interesting people. A step in the right direction was the establishment of the .Maori Councils, which we (irmly believe will proven strong factor in the amelioration of the condition of those for whose benefit; the scheme was brought into operation. One of the principal powers of the Council is in Hie necessary improvmeni of the sanitation of the pahs. Prior to the arrival of the I'akehii, |lie natives had no idea of any system of sanitation, nor was anv needed, for their habits were of the simplest and must healthful nature ; out as years rolled on, they adopted, to a great extent, the manners and customs of their white neighbours, omitting, however, much that was imperative to enable health and morality to be maintained. This lack of proper sanitary precautions was to a large extent responsible for the for mer rapid decrease in the number of the native population, which, happily, has Leon arrested by the improved methods lately brought into force. The pronouncement n\' the Premier in the matter of imparting profes sional instruction to young Maoris, »n condition that their services were de voted to the welfare of the Maori race, is one that will receive endorse ment all over the colony. In educa tional competitions the Maori has proved himself the equal of the Cauc asian, and if this mental aptitude were turned into channels beneficial to the natives, a service would lie ren dered lo the whole colony, the effects n'i which are well-nigh incalculable. In the proposed land legislation the policv laid down is of a must advanced and beneficial character, the granting of money through the Native Laud |)e partment for roads and bridges being one of those measures which are at once necessary and right. It is a lilting coincidence that the Colonial statesman who in his imperialistic attitutle most nearly approaches that of New Zealand's " Cnind Old Alan" should also emulate the hitter's endeavours to promote the wel fare and progress of the Maoris. Should Air Seddoii prove as success ful in his present efforts as the late Sir George drey succeeded in his, the Maori has indeed a bright future in store.

When the Taupiri subdivision of the Woodlands Estate was thrown open for selection there was a rush of applicants for allotments, and the demand has been steady ever since.

"MERRfE MEN OF SHERWOOD FOREST." Owing to the long distance that separ ate- the towns of the Waikato, it is not often that travelling companies of any note visit us, and therefore we have to rely upon local talent to provide the necessrry amuse ment, and a new society that has recently sprung into existence to supply this want is the Hamilton Choral Society, whose initial effort was presented in the Volun teer Hall, last evening. The attendance was rather meagre, but what it lacked in numbers was made up by the marked de monstrations of favour with which a num ber of the items were receive.!. It is rather unfortunate that the public should be so scant in their patronage of local efforts. Whiletravellingeompanies of very mediocre ability can fill the hall, every effort has to be strained to entice people to support local entertainments of a superior character. There was a great waste of time at the start, and it was fuliy twenty minutes eight before the orchesDa played the open ing selection of the first part of the pro gramme. 'This was unreasonable, and made the hour so late before the concluding chorus of the cantata was reached. Mr J. Bathurst (Te Awamutu) followed tho in strumentil niece watt a solo, "Queen of Angels," acquitting himself splendidly, and it is sale to bay that he will receive a good reception whenever he visits Hamilton again. Mrs Raynor-ftkeet, of Cambridge, rang " Oh Sing to Ale .Sweet." 'This lady has a voice of considerable merit, and uses it to great advantage. An encore was demanded, aud the selection was sung equally as effective as the first item. Miss Walker was en- Cored for her singing of 31. Tolstoi's " Good-bye." Mr C. Stewart, who possesses a voice of some power, but which is not under control, sang " Doreen." Mr Stewart would have created a far better impression if he had sung some lo'.liGking song, so that he might have given his voice full scope. Mr S. Meachcm sang, " Why Should we Say Good-bye," and although an acceptable item, was not up to his usual form, being a bit on the slow side. The second part of the programme was devoted to W. H. Birth's operetta, " Merrie Men of Sherwood Forest,'' the music of which is particularly bright and sparkling. With one or two exceptions, the solo work is not of much moment, but the choruses are a feature, and these were done ample justice to. Mr T. H. Bosworth, the con ductor, had a splendid array of talent for chorus work, and deserves great credit for the excellence to which he has brought his pupils in such a short space of time. While the effort was a good one there were times when the atack was weak, and the time was also faulty in places. It 6eemed that not sufficient at tention was paid to the batou. Iu the irreat majority of cases the performers set-inert to bo t-K) intent upon their music to ii') I '■« liiu conductor's gesticulations, *'"l this 1 wirk also applies to the orch.is- Ira. Woik. not wish to bo too critical, but we. feel sure that if attention is paid to this particular, goo I results will follow.'The pails were well balanced, and with '-he exception of the tenors, who were at time? a l>il uneven, they went very sin.ioliily. The tinale, " We'll Trip it Merrily," was about the best, and an en coi" was demand'd for tins. "Away. Away," was rendered spiritedly, and " S - ,'t l',ch<), Sweetest Nymph," was a delightful number. Iu the solo section, of the ladies, .Mrs. Ilrewis had by far the heaviest part al h>ii'd to her, and the performance was very creditable. What was lacking in po.vei was in-re than made np fur iii correctness and sympathy. . '!' he tlexibleness ot .Mrs Brewis' voice was shown to much advantage in the rather difficult aria, ".Sweet, Pretty Bird," for which she was deservedly applauded. .Mrs liaynor- Skeet sang the recitative " Sweet Kcho " quite equal to her tirst effort., Among the male division, Mr S. Meachem had the lion's share of the work aud did well, singing with much spirit and power, his opening sol", "Hark to the Woods Away," being about his best effort. Mr C. Stewart lacked steadiness in his solos. The item of Mr Hartley's, "My Son, Thou'rt Doomed to l»ie," was the bast in the tenor section, and in the scaffold scene, he also showed to advantage. In the basses, MrT. Jolly sang a few bars in " The Merry Men," but this was sufficient to show that he possesses a tine mellow voice of good low range. A fair amount of work was assigned to Mr Turbott, and for a beginner, he made a very good impression, his singing of the Bacchanalian Sonir being very fair. The duet, "I'll Love Thee Still." by Mr Mac ferson and .Miss Maunsell, was heartily ap plauded, their voice blending very nice ly. The Orchestra assisted very materially to the success of the operatta, and con sisted of the following:—Piano, Miss Xewell : violins, Mrs Cook, Miss Irene Bos worth,! and MessrsT. Jolly and F. Kenny; cornet. Mr G. P. Wittam ; 'cello, Mr Har ker. and bass, Mr Edwards Cambridge!. The production was solely in the hands of Mr T. H. Bosworth, who weilded the baton in first-class style, several of Mr Bosworth's pupils were amongst the per formers and it speaks well for his ability when he can train them to give such a satisfactory entertainment. Mrs Brewis and Mr Turbott were the most succ 'ssful. Miss Xowell officiated at the piano in her well-known style, and left nothing to be desired. MONTGOMERY'S ENTERTAINERS. A large and enthusiastic audience wit nessed tlip performance of the alnve com pany at Cain'iridge last evening. The programinc submitted was well received as it undoubtedly deserved to be. It is un fortunately only two seldom that a Cam bridge audience is privileged to enjoy an entertainment of the Calibre provided by Mr Montgomery The cinematograph is an exceptionally fine one and showed the slides with perfect clearness. The niusie-loving portion of the audience were well catered for by Edmund Montgomery, who sang several songs as only an artist can .sing, his most pleasing elort being "The Fatal Kose of Ked." In Mr Hob Hall the comic elemeut was very eapably represented ; he quite reminds one of Bain Mr Hall was, on each occasion, rewarded with vociferous encores, and even a third item was demanded from him by a delightful house. The show, which is worthy of patronage, will be repeated to night. SPORTING MATAMATA HANDICAPS. Hukih.es.—Haiuoa 10.12, Turk 10.12, Puffin-- Billy 10.4, Meteor 10.0, Scrutineer 10.0, Kapua it.7.

NEW YOKE, Dee. ll President Castro, in an insolent manifesto, alleges that all the Vene zuelan States are rallying to the coun try's defence. Three of the captured Venezuelan ships have been sunk. The fourth is claimed as belonging to France. A force of lo() German sailors has been landed at La Guayra. The sail ors rescued three English directors of the Harbour Companv. A British detachment landed and removed the British Vice-Consul and his family. All the Britishers and Germans who were arrested at "La Guayra'have been liberated. A force of 2000 Venezuelan troops under the Minister for War has arriv ed at La Guayra, and President Cas tro is sending other reinforce ments. The American newspapers are very hostile in their attitude towards Castro. Diplomatists at Washington con sider the arrests made after the Bri tishers and Germans had been placed under American protection as equi valent to an act of war. The German newspapers rejoice at •the solidarity of the allies in enforc ing the Treaty rights. AMERICAN FEELING. (Received, Dec. ]2, 10.30 p.m.) LONDON, Dec. 12. In the House Lord Cranbourne, Secretary for Foreign Af - fairs, in reply to questions, stated the German Commodore sank two Vene zuelan prizes. NEW YORK, Dec 12. Mr Cullam, Chairman of the Foreign Committee of the Senate, thinks the attack on helpless Venezuela wrong, and fears President Castro will create a situation entangling tlTe United States with foreign powers. The New York Times and Tribune do not protest against the use of force for fear that moving events may hurry the Powers into going farther than they announced. Their intention of sinking the Vene zuela warships has created a bad im pression in America, and there is a general disposition to attribute the punitive character of the proceedings to Germany.

DEADLOCK STILL CON TINUES (Received Dec. 12, 9.55 a.m.) SYDNEY, Dec. 12. The majority of the delegates at the Shipping Conference have return ed to their homes, as for the present all negotiations are suspended. The owners replying to the men's contentions reasserted there had been no improvement in trade. At present steamers aggregating 60,000 tonage are idle owing to shrink age of trade, and to maintain ruling wages would stide the Coastal trade. Dealing with the suggestion that the owners should accept the conditions established by the New Zealand Ar bitration Court, it was pointed out that in New Zealand the conditions had always been about ten shillings per month ahead of Australian rates. The award of the Court while it would reduce the Australian rate by ten shillings per month would give concession, that would more than compensate for the loss of money. GENERAL ITEMS. LONDON, Dec. 12. The reserve fleet at Devonport has been ordered to be in readiness to sail at a days notice.

W. Dyer) iu the chair, Crs. J. H Bond, l'j. .1 Davey, A. Coyle, R. I'arr, G, W. Sare, .). C. W. Barton, .1. A. Young and W. Hey. NKW COUNCILLOR. The Mayer said thsit as this was tlfe first meeting of the Council since the bye election, he would lake the opportunity of welcoming Or. Hart..n lo the C-umcil tadle and expiv-s the hope that he would have a pleasant, lerin uf oliice. Or. lUrloti lirieily responded and said he woiii 1 I y t i do his best during his teraure of oiii :e. SPECIAL MEETING. A special meeting was then hold 1o en able the Mayor to "move that a special order bringing into force th ■ bye laws as already approved by the. Couucil i>e adopted." Or. Bond seconded the molioa. •'r. Voting moved an amendment that the bye laws lv adopted with ih • exception of the clauses dealing with the building of brink and stone in Victoria and Tisdale streets. Cr. Young desired to present a petition from '.VI residents in these street*, object ing to the bringing into operation of theso clauses, but was ruled out of order. (r. Voung, continuing, said the clauses were before the time. There was no one in a position to b ild in brick, who would build otherwise, and many of the townspeople if burnt out that night would not be in a position to rebuild if forced to do so in brick. Cr. Parr seconded the amendment, on the ground that as so many had signed the petition i was only reasonable to grant their request. The Mayor strongly opposed the amend ment. These bye-laws had been before the ratepayers, he believed for nearly twoyears, and the Council had been rounded upon for not 1 eing more expeditious, especially in regard to these particular clauses. The town had been practically burnt down twice, and the building which had on both occasions saved the situation was a brick one—[he Waikato Times buildings. He would prefer to see fewer but substantial buildings being erected iu the main street than se'> more wooden ones. Cr. Bond opposed-* hejamendment, for the additional cost of brick buildings was only about 33 l-3rd percent greater than wooden structures, and it whs much easier to bor row money on brick than on wooden build ings. Cr. Barton thought it was batter to cairy on a progressive policy and he pre fered to see brick structures rather than wooden jerry built houses. Cr. Coyle said unless a great majority of ratepayers were in favour of wood he would advocate the retention of the clause. On the amendment being put, only the mover and seconder voted for it, the ori ginal motion being carried, Crs. Youncr and Parr being the only dissentients. These' bye-laws will be confirmed at a special meeting on Tuesday ;:sth, 1903. ORDINARY MEETING. The ordidary meeting was then held. WATERWORKS CONTRACT. Mr H. 11. Metcalfe, engineer, wrote en closing certificate for contract No :? Hamil ton water supply, from which, he said, it would be obvious that the work is not pro ceeding at a rate to complete iu contract time. Half of this has now expired, while the full value of the work done, at schedule rates only amounts to one fourth the total although this was the part on which the greatest progress could be made in a given time- He doubted if it wore possible to complete the work in contract time as no work worth mentioning had been done on the pumping station, but if the Council decided to complete that part at the con tractor's risk under Clause 10 of the agree ment as they could do, he would send up a new man to proceed with the work and could finish iu February. The probable cash requirement up to December 31 would be Keaue (siy) i»iO);E. Porter £l\_Vd ■ J. Chambers and Son £2OO, total £2849. The Major moved in accordance with tha decision of the Legal and Finance Com mittee that the Clerk be instructed to write to both the engineer and contractor that if satisfactory progress is not made to the satisfaction of the engineer within one week from this date the engineer is autho rised to act as provided for in clause 10 of the cm tract. Cr. Bond seconded the motion. Cr Coyle moved as an amendment "that the contractor be warned that if he does not have the work finished at the specified time the penalties will be enforced." , Cr. Young seconded the amendment is he thought Mr Metcalfe had been unduly forcing Mr Keane. The latter was a penalty of £'iO per day, and surely tha*» was sufficient guarantee. The work al ready donb had met with the engineer 'a approval as to workmanship, The amendment was then put and lost by ' 5 to 4, the Mayor, and Crs. Barton, Sare v - Dey and Bond voting in the negative. The voting oi the was \ica versa. COMPLETION OF ROAD. Mrs P. A. Quick requested the Council to complete the road between the two boarding establishments so that she might have access to her back premises. It was her intention to extend the buildin" on the Council side, thereby closing her present side entrance. The letter was referred to the Works Committee, with power to act. LOAN. The Treasury notified that ,£2OOO on ac count of the water supply loan would be paid to the Council's credit in a few days from Decamber sth. GARDEN PLACE. The Assistant Surveyor-General informed \ the Council that Mr J. B. Thompson's ser- #* vices were not available at present to t/.ke the levels of Garden Place. SOUTHERN MAILS. Mr J. F.

The matter was referred to the Works Committee with power to act. PERMISSON TO DRAIN. i Mr E. J.

The at tendance was not so large as usual. The President, Mr llarugh, and Mr Young, of Hamilton, attended the meeting with the object of explaining matters in connection with the Farmers' I'niou. Mr Barugh pointed out that they could not carry on with ihe I'niou and meet all expenses in connection with the Club and the Union on the 5s members' fee as at present. lie said he could not soe. how the work of the Club conld be carried on un less the members'subscription fee was in creased to 7s (ill : each branch tu retain 2s bd for local expenses, and the balance to be forwarded to the parent Club at Cambridge, ail expenses iu connection with the Union —advertising, etc. -to be paid direct from the parent Club. Mr Darns thought the Union was the channel through which all their wants should go, and after a number ofVjuestions had been asked and answered, a resolution was unanimously carried in favour of the proposal suggested by Air Barugh. A copy of the general balance-sheet was received as follows : Receipts ; To balance •lune.

It was pointed out that Te Kowhai was not on th' list, and Mr Barugh undertook to look the matter up. Mr Spragg wrote, re the ha.ll site, that he would place the matter before the di rectors iu a few days. The ipiesiion of the mail service was hit in the hands of .Messrs Rothwell and Cox. The Chairman then called on Mr Young, who spoke at some length, lb' -aid he was pleased at bjing pre-amf that evening, lie always reel th- reports of all the branches, aud ho could te I |hem that he always read the report of the I'e Kowhai branch with much interest. Air Young congratulated them on their movement re tiio central meal market : it was what was wanted in Waikato, aud Hamilton was tin- place for a central market. He also wished them every sun ess in their new r -all. Te Rapa S:a:ion as it would be a great boon to tha whole of the farmers in Te Kowhai District. Indeed he was so much pleased with the pl-opo-ed road that he came d'Wn with til" offer of a yellow coin towards ..polling up the road to couueet with Hamilton. The oiler was rcc ived with thanks. Mr (iillespie moved, and Mr Wilcock R'couded, that tiio secrelary writ' to Messrs Paull and Venables, proprietors of Tti,' Waikato Times, asking them to procure a weekly .-via' report from Messrs Tooman and Co., Auckland, and publish it iu their columns. This was carried. The Chairman expressed on behalf of the members their pleasure in seeing the Presiden. and Mr Young at our meeting an 1 wished that we Could have more of such meetings and that he would like to see the practice more general. A hearty vote of thanks was then pro posed to Mr Barugh and Air Young which was carried on the voices, both gentlemen returning thanks. TAMAHERE BRANCH. From oir own Correspondent. A very largely attended meeting of the Tamahero branch of the Waik-to Farmers' Club was held in the schoolroom on WcL nesday evening, fully fifty persons attend ing to take part in the debate on " Whether the tongue, the pen or tho swo'd has the greatest influence in the wcrld." A short meeting of the Farmers' Club was held prior to tho debate. The necessity of raising the members' subscriptions from •Js to 7s bd was dealth with by Air Barugh. ho explaining the cost of miintaiuing the different brauches ; also the meetings of delegates at Auckland and Wellington'. He expressed a wish that a unanimous vote should be carried at this meeting. Mr Hay proposed " that the fee be raised to 7s (id " seconded by Mr Wheeler. Messrs Steel and Murphy also supported the motion, which was carried uuani mou.-ly. Mr J. Murphy gave notice of motion to propose at next meeting, " that a weekly paper be establisde.d in Wellington under the auspices of the Fanners' Union." Mr Barugh spoke of the unsatisfactory mail service between Matangi aud Hamil ton and Cambridge, only one mail a, day being despatched to either place, whereas there are two trains up and two down every day and on two days a week there are three both ways. It was proposed by Mr Barugh " that the Secretary writ" to the Postal authorities explaining the po.si- U"U "f the people, in having only one mail up and one down." Air Steel proposed and Air Wheeler seconded, as an amendment " That Mr Baruvjh call upon the Postmaster at Hamil ton and explain to him personalL.- the posi tion. 1 "i being put t-. the meeting the amend ment was carried. The triangular debate on " Which Has the Oreatest Influence in the World—the Tongue, the Pen, or ihe Sword," was opened by Mrs Barugh, who upheld the tongue .Mrs Ewen following with tho power of Ihe pen. while Miss Tilly was loud in her praises ol the sword. The speakers were champions 1 respectively by Messrs Murphy, \ OUllg and Wallace, who v.-ry ably backed their subjects in a m isterly minn-r. Several oilier members aired their view on the subject, the chief of whom were Mr Wheeler, who favoured the tongue, and Mr Johnson the sword. Mr Steel rose to speak, but unfortunately, owing to his conversation drifting to the Bible, he was called to order by the Chairman. Mr Caudiu starte I a most brilliant defence iu favour of the tongue, but this gentleman wai brought to rather an abrupt conclusion by Mr Murphy, who, 1 am afraid, must have made hi u 'shy Miss Raynes also favoiucd the tongue. On a show of hands tin; supporters nfthe pen gained a victory by a majority of four votes. The subjects chosen for the next debate were Prohibition and State C mtrol of Sale of Alcoholic Liquors Lilividuil Con trol. 1 »wing to next mouth being in th smiddle of harvest it was decided not to hold the meeting till February.

TRADE WITH THE CONTINENT A WELLINGTON MERCHANT'S VIEWS. Mr H. Wollerman, the well-known merchant (Wollerman and Co.), Jre turned to Wellington on Saturday by the Gothic, accompanied by Mrs Wollerman, two daughters and youngest son> after an interesting trip on the Continent. Mr Woller man, who has been absent for nine months, went Home by way of Amer ica, and after a stay in San Fran cisco, went on to Plymouth by the magnificent liner Kron Prinz Wilhelm, one of the largest steamers crossing the Atlantic. This is one of the latest vessels of the North German Lloyd Company, and is described by those who have travelled on board as a lloating palace. From Plymouth Mr Wollerman went to Wiesbaden, the well-known German watering place, where he joined his family, who had been living there for a couple of years. He spent a great part of his holiday in travelling about Germany, and saw some of the old battlefields on which he himself fought in the campaign of 1870. He had a letter of intro duction from Mr Clement Schlaadt, of Schlaadt and Co., mer chants, Wellington, to the latter's brother, Mr Karl Schlaadt, who went through the same campaign. The two men surveyed together the scenes of other days, and examined with curious interest the trenches which had been dug about the city in that war. Mr Wollerman spent some time in England, where lie met another Wellingtonian, Mr John Holmes, and tegether they went to the dairy show at Islington, where the New Zealand ers were, joined by Mr H. C. Cameron, the Produce Commissioner in Lon don Naturally, Mr Wollerman paid con siderable attention to trade matters during his trip ; and with the views of testing the market for New Zea land produce on the Continent, took home with him to Germany some samples of wool and other colonial produce, and later on three cases of apples and some honey were sent. The apples, which were shipped from Wellington on sth May, arrived in Germany in splendid condition, not withstanding some delay in London ; and" those who saw were astonished at their perfection, and the condition in which they reached the end of such a long voyage. The apples were of three kinds - Adam's Pearmain, Boston Russet and Stone Pippin - and were grown in Palmerston North. They were delivered in Germany at the beginning of July, and, as has been said, the wonder grew that such excellent fruit could have been sent from such a far-off corner of the world. Surprise was great when he showed them cuttings from the New Zealand Times and other newspapers giving some figures .as to the extent of our export trade from this country. One cutting, giving extracts from a leaflet issued by the Department of Agriculture, and explaining the pro portions of the export trade in pro duce for one month, has gone the rounds of the German cities, and done a good deal in proving to the mer chants of Germany that New Zealand is Dot such a small place after all. In the opinion of Mr Wollerman, there should be an excellent market in the near future amongst the German people for meat from New Zealand. The proportion of meat within their own borders is not increasing, and they are beginning to look for sup plies from outside. Wool and fruit should also do well, especially as both these commodities are on the free list. "It is quite useless, how ever, to send Lincoln or crossbred wools," he says ; what they want is Romney or merino." The difficulty in the way at present is that very high transhipment charges are levied in London. This transhipping of the goods, under the present circum stances, must operate effectively against the establishment of anv trade with the Continent. The only other route open at present is by way of Australia. THE WAIKATO TIMES, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1902.

MESSRS. ARTHUR TOOMAN & CO'S REPORT. Messrs. Arthur Tooman and Co., Auckland, report supplies of fruit, produce, and poultry on the in crease, and well up to requirements. Generally, they have been heavy this week. New potatoes have como forward in larger quantities, and the price has eased about 30s per ton. Poultry has been in heavy supply, and sold well, with the ex ception of old hens, which have been very plentiful at reduced values. Young pigs ai e very scarce, and high in value, asls also cheese, eggs, bacon, aud ham. The fruit market has been well supplied generally, with the exception of ..ranges. Heavy shipments of pines have arrived from the Islands, also bananas. Gooseberries drop ped in value considerably, owing to the low quotations of Nelson growers.

As pointed out in our leading article on Saturday, no very intricate prob lems are presented by the native question iu this Colony, and the present Government are strenuously working in the direction of an honour able and equitable treatment of our aboriginal population. In other parts of the world, however, the race prob lem is pressing more and more for solution. In West Australia the aboriginal, wild and untameable, has become somewhat of a plague, while in the South Sea Islands the con dition of the natives has given a per plexing turn to events. But the more acute issues to be considered lie in Africa, Asia and America, where any measure yet tried for the regulating of the relations between the white and coloured races has been more in the nature of a compromise than a per manent solution of the difficulty. Con tinually, accounts reach us of some outbreak of discontent and disorder amongst the less advanced races in America, and the horrors con stantly going on in what is called the Black Belt of America are too well known to need recapitulation. It has now been conclusively demonstrated that the one-time maxim "that when ever while men go, the natives die out/' holds good only to a certain ex tent and under certain circumstances. Uvea Australia has still in some dis tricts large numbers of aboriginals, while the " vanishing " Bed Indians of North America have left a con siderable progeny. Other aboriginal races sometimes even show an increase in numbers when brought in contact with the Caucasian, the negroes es pecially, and the presence of this race in South Africa makes the governing of that country an extremely delicate task, and its permanent pacification a matter calling forth the best energies of the statesmen of the Empire. Numerous suggestions have been thrown out for the settlement of this momentous ques tion, but none have, so far, offered a satisfactory solution of the problem. One of the latest suggestions is that of Mr Jas. Bryee, thrown out in a speech at Oxford some time ago. His method is on the lines of friendly isolation. He would have the back ward races separated by marriage amongst themselves alone. As it is impossible to confine them to a cer tain territory, this does not enter into the scheme, but they would be treated with equal legal and political rights, the latter on a basis which would exclude the poorest and most ignorant whites, and prevent a mob of uneducated blacks from ruling an electorate. However, we may confidently expect that some feasible solution of the difficulty will be arrived at, when Mr Chamberlaim has had an opportunity of personally making himself ac quainted with the needa of the new ■•nilmio.■». His long experience as S.'-Tetiiry fur tin; Colonies has ali'nnles.l liim exceptional advantages for striv ing the race problem, and his acumen should find some means of ridding the position of its more dangerous phases, LOCAL AND GENERAL An article on the "Canadian Produce Trade " will In- found on page 1. A thanksgiving service in recognition of the victory gained by the Temperance Party at the late licensing poll, will be held in the Methodist church this •veulng, under the auspices of the New Zealand Ailianc" Association. About 2 p.m. on Saturday afternoon as Mr- Lock, of Kirikiriroa, was driving across the Hamilton bridge in a spring trap, she by some means collided with" the Voach driven by Mr T. Mayes, with the result that the lighter v.diiclo was overturned. Furtun.it-i'ly Mrs Lock escaped with a shak ing, although the cart was considerably damaged. _ The faithfulness of a dog was exempli fied the other day. When the late Mr F. Curtis met with a fatal accident at Adding ton, Christchurch, one of his dogs followed his body to the hospital, and from thence to the morgue. The dog lay on the foot path outside the morgue gate all night through the pouring rain. Next morning, Mr James Knight, with some difficulty, got it home and fed it. Mr T. W. Kirk and Mr W. A. Boucher, of the New Zealand Department of Agri culture, left by the schooner Countess of Eanfurly on Friday for the Cook Islands, under instructions from the Government to report on the present conditions of the fruit plantations there, aud the prospects of growing coffee, cocoa, cotton, and other tropical products. The Northern Roller Milling Company has advanced the price of flour 15s per ton, making the present quotation £l3 5s for sacks, small sizes extra, less the usual dis count. As the price in the South is ,£l3 f.o.b. for sacks, small sizes extra, the pre sent Northern Roller Mills' quotation is still about 10s per ton below the laid down cost of flour from the South, when freight and charges are added. A Consular report on Finland Trade in 1901 says:— The year again showed a slight decrease in the amount of butter ex ported (the greater part of which goes to Hull), but there is reason to expect some augmentation this year, unless the English legislation restricting the percentag"e of water allowed in foreign butter, should have an adverse effect on the trade. There has been a steady decline in the amount of butter exported since 1897, when it attain ed the maximum of 13,561 tons. Last year the quantity was about 10,000 tons. The Petit Journal asserts that during the luncheon at the British Embassy re cently, Lord Kitchener observed that his most useful helpers during the war were bachelors. He added that all good soldiers ought to be unmarried, whereupon an Eng lish lady, the wife of an officer who greatly distinguished himself in the campaign, said to Lord Kitchener, " '! hen you think my husband made a mistake when he married me." Lord Kitchener replied that the lady was one of the exceptions that proved the rule, and he maintained his opinion. Sergeant W. Miller, of the Seventh New Zealand Contingent, son of Stock Inspector Miller, Hastings, hat just received, through the Defence Department, a valuable pipe, silver mounted, bearing the Royal arms, which was one of sixteen of a similar kind presented by her Majesty Queen Alexandra to New Zealanders who were dangerously wounded at the Battle of Bothasborg. Sergeant Miller received a bad wound in the right side whilst defending the <run which the New Zealanders eventually saved in that engagement, though unfortu nately with a heavy roll of killed and wounded. Interviewed at Wanganui and urged to press upon the Government the desirability of keeping the native areas of up-river ter ritory free from liquor licenses, the Hon. Native Minister said that with a new Par liament, and in view of the recent pro nouncement throughout the country on the general question, it was impossible to say what would be done j but he thought he could safely say that on this, as on other questions, the Government would give due consideration to the opinions of the natives themselves, as expressed through their re presentatives, the Maori Councils. A Wellington business man who has just returned from a trip to England, s.iys that sufficient efforts are not being made to advertise New Zealand meat in London and other English cities. There are only a few shops in which the meat is sold, and the placards announcing it at these shops are too small. He holds that many more shops ought to be established for the sale of the meat, and that a comprehensive system of advertising it ought to be adopted. New Zealand meat is more than holding its own in London, he says, and is very popular wherever it has been tried. A leaflet has been issued by the Depart ment of Agriculture showing the quantity and value of meat and dairy produce ex ported from the colony during the month of November. The figures are »s fol lows .—Butter, 2,633 cwt, value £122,370 ; cheese, 2456cwt, value £5474; frozen beef, 7282ewt, value £11,832; frozen mutton, 56,397cwt, value £74,603; frozen lamb, 65,282cwt, value £8859. The totals for the eight months of the financial year are:— Butter, 99,954cwt, value £498,550; cheese, 31,912cwt, value £71,616; frozen beef, 180,807cwt, value £224,133; frozen mutton, 805,727cwt, value £907,520; frozen lamb, 377,976cwt, value £578,920. In a letter just received by Mr J. C. Blackmore, Government Pomolegist, Messrs Weddell and Co. make tho following en couraging and complimentary remarks in the course of a reference to the promotion of raspberry pulping and export of pulp : —" We are sure vou are doing good work for the colony, as if put on to proper lines, in the same way as you have done your dairy produce, a large and important busi ness is to bo obtained not only in the United Kingdom, but throughout the Con tinent of Europe, and you can rely upon our protecting your interests in every pos sible way. With an assured continued supply even the best jam-makers will use pulp." After being engaged for three months inspecting estates in the South and North Island, the chairman of the Land Purchase Board has returned to Wellington. Since leaving Wellington two months ago, Mr Barron has visited five estates in Welling ton province, six small ones in Taranaki (for the purpose of finding a block for workmen's homes), two at Bay of Islands, two at Kaipara, several in the Waikato, Bay of Plenty, Tolaga Bay, Gisborne, Wairoa«and Hawke's Hay districts. The largest properties inspected were those of the Assets Realisation Board and tho Thames Valley Land Company iu the Waikato. Several properties in Hawke's Bay were inspected'but it is unlikely any of them will be dealt with. The estates will all be considered by tho Land Pur chase Board as soon as valuations have been received.

There is said to lie a good deal of poverty in Dtuiedin and suburbs just now. A member of the City Council stated at a recent meeting of the Council that a large number of unemployed were coming over from Australia, and that during the last week or so about 450 men had come over to Dunedin from the Commonwealth. It is bad enough for the city to provide work for own unemployed, without having to do so for Australians as well. The Brooklyn Eagle says that within a radius of ten blocks of the Eagle office there are 12 abandoned churches. In some in stances the buildings are still standing, but are given over to other purposes. In one case, what was a "sacred edifice" is an auc tion store ; in another, a bicycle rink ; in another a stable : in another, a tenement house ; and so on. In half a dozen cases the buildings are standing idle, dilapidated, forlorn, neglected, with signs of "For Sale" upon them. The population in the same area is greater than it has been at any time in the history of the oity. In connection with the visit of a New Zealand Brass Band to Great Britain, Mr McKinnon Bain is in receipt of a letter from Messrs Besson and Co., the famous instrument makers, in which they state that a complete set of instruments, valued at .£7OO, one of the finest sets the firm has ever manufactured, is now waiting for the Band as soon as it lands in England. The instruments are to be used throughout the Band's tour at Home. The New Zea landers are the only band that has ever been presented with a set of instruments for use in this manner, and the generous treatment shows the interest that is being taken in England in the colonials' visit. Taranaki Herald. Another development of the humours of the Post Office is reported. A AVellington, Shropshire, tradesman had posted from Edinburgh some months ago a letter, the address of which did not, unfortunate iy, give the name of the county. Contrary to custom, however, the message wa3 not sent to Wellington, Somerset; the postal officials forwardod it to Wellington, New Zealand. It travelled about that colony for a time, till a kind-hearted official patch ed it up with a gummed label and de spatched it to England agaiu. On its ar rival in this country it found its way to Somersetshire, but eventually went to Wel lington, Shropshire, and was correctly de livered. There was no extra charge. When the excursion train to Owaka reached Balclutha recently (says the Tua peka Times) quite a number of this di-s trict's budding manhood appeared to be stricken with a sudden drought, and there was a rush to a building near the station bearing the attractive but, as it proved, de lusive legend " Railway Hotel." They had heard aud believed that Prohibition did not prohibit, and in their innocence imagined that they had only to ask to have their terrible thirst quenched with a <dass of sparkling XXXX or a drop of mountain dew, as their inclination prompted. Their requests were in vain, and they leturned to the platform and resumed their place in the train, convinced that under some circum stances " Prohibition does prohibit." Mr Bent, the " reform " Minister for Railways in Victoria, is sustaining his re putation for boldness of action. Special officers from outside the service (railway employees call them " spies ") have been appointed to investigate complaints against the management. These new ap pointees have already reported to the Minister that most of the men at the goods shed, cleaning shed, and elsewhere were simply " putting in time." They saw one cleaner lying in a carriage reading the newspaper. To quote the words of the report, which is coushed in anything but official language—" Some men stand yarning for ten minutes. There will have to be a wholesale sacking of firemen, gangers, and others, with several men under them. There were two trucks we saw being emptied, one on piecework, and the other on the Government stroke. What a difference ! Fresh blood is what is wanted, and plenty of it." Mr Bent threatens wholesale dismissals where the men are unable to give satisfactory answers to the accusations brought against them in this way. Writing on the subject of an " Ideal Marriage " Dorothy Dix says : I honestly believe that the crime that calls for reform ing more than drink or gambling or any think else is the way the girls are raised, and the total ignoranoe of everything a woman ought to know with which they are rushei into matrimony. It may not be poetical or romantic but it is the solid truth that domestic happiness rests on good cooking and good housekeeping. The man whose meals are never on time cannot hold his own in the business world; the man who acquires dyspepsia through mean cooking, or who is not properly nourished by reason of ill-chosen food, breaks down at the critical time, when a little more strength would have carried him past the winning post; the man who gets nervous prostration is the man who comes home at night to a place that is not a tem ple of peace, but a home that is ill-ordered, upset, full of nagging servants and queru lous complaints. I know of no thought moro depressing than the fact that the life, the happiness, the well-being of the family are daily given into the hauds of girls who are absolutely untaught, and incapable of caring for the trust committed to them. When the engineer d;>es not know her business wha' wonder the matrimonial train so often goes to smash ? It is dis honest. It is taking an unfair advantage of a man for any girl to marry him unless she is qualified to make a comfortable home, and thus fulfil her end of the partner ship." " To discontinue advertising," says John Wanamaker, the millionaire, "is like taking down your sign. If you want to do business you must lot the people know it. Standing advertisements, when frequently changed, are better and cheaper than resid ing notices. They look more substantial and bvsinoss-like, and inspire confidence. I would as soon think of doing business with out a clerk as without advertising." This is advice which all business men would do well to follow, but it must bo borne in mind that the advertising medium must be the best obtainable. We can confidently say that in consequence of its large circu lation, The Waikato Ttmbs is the best paper in the Waikato to advertise concern ing anything pertaining to a farming com munity. Mr D. Vinson-Dossetor, teacher of voice production and sinking, has decided to open classes for ladies and gentlemen at begin ning of year, at 10s Gd per quarter—by this means a most enjoyable as well as very profitable evening will be spent each week.

At this season of the year, our thoughts naturally turn, to Xmas fare and happy family reunions. Great are the prepara tions made by every good housewife for the grand event of the year, and these entail the expenditure of money on the various ingredients which go to make up an ideal Xmas feast. To such the advertisement inserted in this issue by Mr Sanders, of the Q.C.E., Cambridge, will have special at tractions, while to the more practical farmer there are also items of interest. Lately there has been a very large in" crease in the business transacted by the Cambridge Post Office. This had only to be pointed out to Sir Joseph Ward, the Postmaster-General, by Messrs Souter and Co. of Cambridge, and we now learn that an appointment lias been, made of an addi tional clerk to Cambridge. Sir Joseph has always shown a strength of disposition to give every assistance to country districts as he fully recognises that every additional facility granted enabling more business to be carried on with greater ease has the effect of building up the country. No de cision has yet been come to as to whether a new post office at Cambridge will be put on next years' Estimates. In to-day's issue appears a notice relative to the butchery business of Mr T. Qual trough, Hamilton, which has been pur chased by Messrs Stone and Chilcott. Mr G. Stone has been connected with the dairy ing industry in Taranaki for a great num ber of years, and knows a good beast when he sees it. Mr Chilcotl has had an extend ing experience of twunty years in the Old Country, and will, no doubt, p-oSt by the knowledge gained there. Mr P. Stone, who is also associated in the firm, has beon en gaged in the trade with Mr Gernhaofer, Inglewood, Taranaki. Wo feel sure that the addition of these gentlemen to the busi ness people of the Waikato will be ac ceptable, and that the support hitherto ac corded to Mr Qualtrough will be extended to them also. A meeting was held in the Tamahere Church after service on Sunday evening, to consider the advisability of holding choir practices. It was decided to have practices twice monthly, on the Friday evenings when there is a moon. The time of meet ing was fixed at 8 p.m. Owing to the near approach of Christmas a special practice is to be held on Tuesday, the lfith, for the purpose of practising appropriate music for that season. Mr T. Bonillon, of Cambridge, has kindly consented to act as choirmaster, and it is to be hoped that the musical people of Tama here will show their appreciation of his kind ness by attending regularly in large num bers. It was decided to adopt the Cathe dral Psalter now in use in all the larger churches, also to order several new hymn books. We regret having to record the death of Mrs North, wife, of Mr William North, of Te Awamutu, one of the oldest settlers of that place, Mrs North has been suffering for some time past from some internal trouble, her illness was not of such a serious nature as to lead her friends to suprose her end was near. On Thursday morning, however, she was feeling rather better and was getting up when she sud denly collapsed and died from heart failure. Mrs North was 61 years of age at her death, and leaves a large family, all grown up to mourn her loss. Mrs North was vary warmly esteemed in the community and her loss will be greatly felt. The funeral took pl.ee on Fridiy afternoon heing conducted by the Rev. S. Entrican, and was very largely attended. A well-known resident of Gore had a somewhat exciting encounter with a per forming bear one evening last week. Thn animal (according to the Mataura Ensign) was accommodated at one of the livery stables, and escaped from its temporary confinement. The gentleman referred to pluckily proceeded to turn it back and the animal rewarded him for his efforts by bit ing him savagely on the thigh. The victim was armed only with an umbrella, and with this he jabbed th 3 bear in the eye, and it renewed the attack by clawing one of his hands badly. Eventually, however, the bear was restored to the captivity from which it never should have emerged, and the gentleman proceeded to make extensive purchases of sticking-plaster. The Christchurch Truth terms Mr T. E. Taylor the Scriptural'- prohibitionist, and says he does not believe in pouring oil on the troubled waters, and his brotherly love does not extend as far as the publican. Christian charity in Mr Taylor's Bible is only to be shown to the prohibitionist. Yet we remember something about a publican and a Pharisee in Holy Writ that has escaped Mr Taylor in his rummage .after texts. True, the publican was an innkeeper, but the Pharisee was typical. He seems to have confined himself to the Old Testament, his reseat ch did not extend as far as the New. Of course we would not dream of likening Nr Taylor to a Pharisee, although he is "not as this publican," and does so openly exult over the downfall of his fellow-men. But when Mr Taylor gets quoting Scripture we are minded to follow him, and recall to his memory the fact that there is no mention of any pro hibitionist agitation, unless it was on the part of our friend the Pharisee already re ferred to, although his publican was only a tax-gather. He had evidently more points in common with the modern prohibitionist than any other character in the Bible, and his habit of " lifting up his voice " was not the least noticeable of them. We are sure Mr Taylor would not wish t > be likened to that Pharisee. Mr Gregory, the representative of Messrs J. Chambers and Son, (Ltd.), of Auckland, the New Zealand agents of the world known firm of Tangye's (Ltd.), was in town on Friday and reports doing very good business through the Waikato in Tangye's kerosene engines, having placed amongst others a 10 B.H.P. with Mr Isaac Coates to act as an auxiliary engine for his flaxmill at Morrinsvil'.e, and a 5£ B.H.P. with Mr T. Wells, for his new furniture factory at Cambridge. The Cambridge Borough Council's kerosene engine and pump are now in position, and the engineer, Mr Bunyard, hopes to have a trial run immediately. Tangye's kerosene engine appears to be working wonders in the country districts, as an economical power running flaxmills, flourmills, stonebreakers, sheep-shearing machines, etc., etc. Mr Gregory informs us that his firm have placed some hundreds in the last two years, all of which are giving unqualified satis faction. At a time when we hear so much of reciprocity, it is well to remember that Tangye's engines are made in British wcrk shops by British labour.

The proprietors of The Waikato Times have the pleasure of acknowledging the receipt of the following letter from Mr H. J. Greenslado, the Liberal candidate at the' late general elections: '• Glengariff," Ohaupo, 11th Dec, 1902. Gentlemen. —Peimit me to convey to you my heartfelt thanks for the splendid ser vices rendered by yourselves personally and also through the medium of The Waikato Times on the occasion o f the recent general election. As the chosen candidate of the Liberal Party and those desirous of seeing the Waikato adopt a more vigorous and progressive policy, I keenly appreciate the exceptionally able articles that appeared in your journal. Though unsuccessful in winning the seat, it is indeed satisfactory to know that the contest was the closest ever fought in Waikato, and that the Con servative majority has been reduced to 225, thus clearly demonstrating the fact that the electorate is slowly but surely adopt ing the progressive spirit of the age. Again thanking you. Believe me to remain Vory gratefully yours H. J. GREENSLADE. CORRESPONDENCE. TO THE EDITOR. Sir,—la your issue of Thursday Mr H. Armstrong, of Kawhia, replied to a letter of mine on the Land Tenure. With refer ence to his statement that moneyed men will not take up land under the " Lease iu Perpetuity " system, I fail to see any logi cal reason for not doing so. I maintain that a 999 years' lease is as good as any freehold, for, besides having the land for his own lifetime, and for his descendents for a long time to come, the farmer also has the money which he would otherwise spend in acquiring the freehold. This money is then available for buying imple ments and stock. Then again, Mr Arm strong snys that if the land were nation alised the farmers would have to -bear greater burdens, and in order to meet this would have to raise the price of their pro duce. This is simply preposterous, for under the " Single Tax" syst3in the rent of this land would be the only tax the farmer would have.to pay. I regret I have not had experience. of the various land ten ures, but that is not sufficient reason why I should not be able to express my opinion on the subject.—l am, etc., ARTHUR WAGSTAFF, To Awamutu.

Dr. Doug las was in excellent form, and his con tribution of 30 is considered one of the best performances of the season. Slade's made a bad commencement, and lost three wickets for as many runs. Gothorpe and H. Johnson then. Became associ ated and changed the aspect of the game, and when the former lost his wicket the score stood at SL for four wickets. These two batsmen fairly collar ed the bowling, and were eventually separ ated by Bockett clean bowling Gothorpe after he had put together 22 by gocd cricket. Johnson only remained a few balls longer, and then fell a victim to Hammond. Johnson, who gave a couple of easy chances! gave a fine exhibition of his hitting powers, and made things very merry while at the wickets. When this batsman retired 14 runs were required to win, with five wickets to fall, and it looked a really good thing for Slades, but once more the unexpected hap pened, and the remaining wickets fell for four runs. As in the Eangitira's innings, two men made the bulk of the score, Go! thorpe and Johnson makiDg 60 out of the 67. Hammond and Shepherd bowled well for the Eangitira3. The bowling honours on the Slade's side were very even. Some time remaining at the close of Slades' innings, the Rmgitiias went in again. Shepherd and Dr. Douglas «ere the first to face the bowling. The former soon lost his wicket through a mishit. Thb doctor was joined by J. Ham mond, and this pair defied nearly the' whole of the bowling power of Slades, and when the stumps were drawn had put on 61 rang between them. Hammond played a fine free innings, and frequently reached the boundary by some good on driving. Dr. Douglas finished the day well, again carry ing out his bat for a well compiled 23, with out having given the field a chanee. The Eangitiras batted two men short in their first innings.

Dr. Livingstone delivered his lecture on Japan, or Dai Nippon, the Land of the Rising Sun, in the Volunteer Hall on Saturday evening. The lecture, which was profusely illustrated by lantern views, was delivered in a chatty conversational manner, and proved very interesting to those who had previously had but slight knowledge of this interesting nation. The lecturer took the audience on what he termed a " person ally conducted tour " through the principal sights and cities of Japan, rather than entering upon a learned description of their mannei, customs and characters. In regard to the recent alliance between England and Japan, he said it was not so much the result of love for Britain, as through the fact that the Japs had most business intercourse with the Americans, who .spoke English—of a sort. At the conclusion of the lecture a hearty vote of thanks was carried to the lecturer on the motion of Dr. Douglas. Dr Livingston lectures at Cambridge to night and at Tu Awamutu on Thursday next.

CANADIAN PRODUCE EXTENSIVE ADVERTISING AIJROAD. The Canadian Government is not ;il nil chary in its expenditure on adver tising (lie produce of the Dominion. While we in New Zealand are doing practically nothing in the way of ad vertising our produce, Canada makes a point of having exhibits at every fair or exhibition that offers facilities for advertising to advantage. At the world's fair at Chicago, Canada had immense representative exhibits and nt the present moment there are Canadian displays at the Cork exhibi t on, and at the Wolverhamption ex hibition ; while space has been re served for an immense display at the •Japanese exhibition shortly to open at Osaka. Mr J. A. Kinsella (Dairy Commissioner) states that the Can;; dian display at Cork occupies a sepa rate pavilion covering an area of ~)[)0 : ) square feet. The pavilliioh is of striking design, flanked bv a tower a! each end. The entrance is a massive arch in fibrous plaster, with the word " Canada " overhead. The first thing to attract attention inside is a case containing a great variety of leading brands of Canadian 'food products of all descriptions, mineral waters, whisky, etc. The whole, of the eastern side of the pavil ion is devoted to agriculture, with a beautiful display of cereals in straw and in bottles, and a frame of oil paintings representing agricultural industries at all seasons of the year, from seedtime to harvest and thresh ing. The collection of grain contains thousands of samples, comprising over 500 different varieties, and cannot fail to impress with the resources of Canada. There is also a disp'ay of Canadian preserved fruits, and 150 plates containing thirty-five varieties of Canadian apples, picked last Oc tober and preserved since in cold storage. Next door is a cold chamber containing samples of Canadian cheese, white and coloured, butter, eggs, apples, dressed poultry, maple sugar, honey, etc. Another side of the pavilion is devoted to Canadian timbers, showing all the leading varieties, especially those most suit able for export. Close at hand is a fine collection of photographs, showing the different varieties of trees in growth, each photograph being framed in wood of the tree represented. Lumbering op erations are also illustrated by photographs. Almost every known mineral is contained in the Canadian display, which is one of the best ever seen iu Ireland. Advertising on such a scale is bound to be reproductive. THE WAIKATO TIMES, MONDAY, DECEMBER 15, 1902. Printed and published by Bobebt John Paull and Gbobob William Ven.

Read carefully what he says: "I have roughed it a great deal, mining, .working In storms, exposed to the heat, and have often had poor food. My blood fre quently becomes impure and I have eruptions, boils, and become generally run down. But Ayer's Sarsaparilla takes hold of me every time, makes my blood pure and builds me iright up."

"Some four years ago when the Czar of Kussia first mooted his great disarma ment scheme, there were not wanting visionaries who saw in the suggestion the first rosy blush of the dawn of universal peace, unpreceded by the dark and fearsome Armageddon which popular fancy pictures as the precursor of the earthly millenium. That such an extreme optimistic view was entire ly unwarranted has been prored by recent events in South Africa, but at the same time it is undeniable that there exist very sound reasons for a hopeful view of the future. The sug gestion move;! by au American Sen ator, and the request by the Venezue lan President, that the United States should arbitrate in the dispute between England, Germany and Vene zuela, is one of those actions which, unconsciously, InTtnone the less surelv or powerfully, affect the whole course of universal history. Even allowing that the South American State is throwing out the suggestion as her last resource against her overwhelm ingly powerful opponents, the mere fact that abitration has been serious ly proposed is significant of the up ward and onward trend of modern thought. In times of warlike excitement, we are apt to brag of our national courage, but that is merely taking the baser aspect of the matter. The world is gradually, though unawares perhaps, outgrowing the old-fashioned notion that chivalry was found only at the cost of bloodshed. There is a higher gospel to be preached—the gospel of art and science, and all our best energies must be directed to that one end. Of recent years the disinclina tion to go to extreme measures has been apparent in all countries. In stead of Hinging the gage of battle defiantly down, regardless of con sequences, the civilized nations of the World are becoming more and more cautious, not through lack of animal courage, but through the beneficent restraint of a wider and deeper knowledge of the train of misery engendered by war, and from a broader and higher sense of moral responsibility. The triumphs of to day are the triumphs of diplomacy, but there is at all times the possibility that the diplomatic relationship may become strained unto breaking point, and then the passions aroused will be all the greater for the quietitude through which they have been con strained. Tn the present case, it is to be hoped that the futility of resistance against the combined forces of the two most powerful nations of the World will be clearly pointed out to Venezuela, and that the two offended Powers will submit the matter in dis pute to an independent tribunal, both sides loyally conforming to the award of the arbitrators. LOCAL AND GENERAL People are not sufficiently grateful for the banana. Some are even mean enough to object to it, and because it does not wear a gaudy coat they grow spiteful and call it " candle, flavoured with weak pine apple taste." But besides its well-known nutritive properties the banana has a good effect in cases of acute indigestion. Only s*3 to this, ye knowing ones ; your banana must be ripe. Bilious people are advised to eat the banana the first thing in the morning—that is 10 say, if they are not of the class whose morning is afternoon. The specifications of a new kind of boat have, the Vienna correspondent of the Standard says, been lodged at the Austrian Patent Office by a Croatian engineer, named Cvetkovitch. The vessel, called an '• aero-hydrostatic boat," is to be a cross between a ship and a flying machine, and is to attain a speed, according to the inventor which would enable it to circumnavigate the world in forty-eight hours. The prin ciple seems to be that when set in motion the boat raises itself on the surface of the sea and slides on a film of water or air. The boat is still to be built, A chestnut buggy mare is advertised for. A general servant is wanted at Cam bridge. To-day is the Anniversary of the Pro viu :e of Canterbury. A cilunn of "Practical Poultry Notes," will be found on our fourth page. The R.M.S.

The Cambridge Borough notify that all h o*B6B ti.id cattle trespHSS'ng on the trough streets will be impounded and the owners prosecuted. A public meeting will be help in St. Peters school to-morrow evening to protest against tli .• confirmation of the bye laws re lating to buildings within the Borough. It having been decided to form a fire brigade at Cambridge, the Borough Coun cil desire that all young men willing to en roll as members will give in their names to the Town Clerk before Saturday next. The Agricultural Department wish it to be understood that no more orders for sittings of eggs will be received at the Poultry Station, as the season has now closed. Messrs Davis and Co. announce a grand sale of Christmas poultry on Thursday next, for which a large entry has been re ceived. There will also be offered many lines of sundries, including pianos, camera, gramaphone, sewing machines, pictures, books, lace curtains, watches and other jewellery. All residents of the Waikato will regret to learn that Mr W. J. Hunter was taken suddenly ill again last Friday, and off Sunday was uncoucious. At Christ Church, Ohaupo, Archdeacon Willis offered prayers for his recovery. Owing to his serious condition, the news of his relapse has caused widespread expressions of sympathy througout the district. After a prolonged visit to the Old Coun try Mr and Mrs W. S. Allen and several members of the family, Miss Allen, Esther, Robert and Paul, have returned to their New Zealand home at Annandale, Piako. The trip out, on the whole, was a good one, and the reception at Morrinsville on Satur day last was a hearty one, quite a number of friends were present at the station to greet them after their long absence. We under stand that during Mr Robt. Allen's absence at Home he succeeded in securing his B.A. degree, and we congratulate him on his success. Thus the New Zealand Times: A correspondent of an up-country newspaper writes to say that a well-known shearer in the Kangitikei district on Tuesday last shore by hand 240 sheep, the " runner-up " being handy with a tally of 215. When an up-country paper prints such a " tall " re cord as this without first acquiring a statutory attestation of its truth from the writer as a guarantee of good faith, the opportunity is given for most unblushing romance. Tallies approaching those just quoted hare been previoudly counted up in Queensland and New Sonth Wales out back districts, where the sheep grow tufts of belly-wool and so little ou any other por tion of their anatomy that the shearers humorously term them " rosellas," after a parrot that fights so viciously as to be generally devoid of neck and back feathers. But when .such claims are made in respect to the sh-ariug of the woolly and bulky sheep of New Zealand, the matter is beyond the pal.', of practical probability, and the thought is evoked that the two tallies specified were made in the rouseabauts' hut.

PROHIBITION THANKSGIVING MEETING. * There was a rather small attendance in the Methodise Church, last evening, when a thanksgiving service, in commemoration of the success of the late licensing poll was held. * The Rev. H. L. Blamires, as President of the local branch of the New Zealand Asso ciation occupied the chair, and, in opening the meeting, referred in terms of thankful ness that God had seen fit to crown the ef forts of the workers in the causa of humanity with such abundant success. The rev. gentlemen quoted figures to show the onward progress of the cause, while that of the Licensing Party had taken a retrograde step. In 1896 the vote prohibi tion was 99,000, in 1899 it was .120,00", while in 19H2 it had risen to 118,000. In 1896 the vote for license was 141,000 in 1*99 it was 144,000, and -in 1902 it was de luded at being 143,00}. Showing that while the temperance party had increased their vote by 28,000, the licensing party had lost ground by 1(00. This was the first occasion that the Prohibition Party had got in front, and it was safe to say that the vote would continue to increase. While there was some cause for congratulation in the Waikato electorate, still the result was very disappointing. Certainly the pro hibition vote had increased by 60, while the vote for license had decreased by 260. Hamilton had not voted as it should have done. The charge of ignorance could not be laid at their door, for they had been well supplied with information relating to the question, but they had failed to do their duty, and, it seemed to him it was a ques tion of prejudice. While a number of out lying plaoas had done well, Cambridge had made the most progress. In comparing the vote for the colony, there were no less than 31 constituencies where there was a majority carried in favour of prohibition. He was glad to notice the atttude of the free churches on this question. They had all come into line, and were doing a "noble work, but the Anglican Church, although Bishop Julius had done good work in the cause, still held aloof. The speaker was certain that if the support of this Church could only be secured the result would be assured. The press came in for a deal of criticism at the hands of Mr Blamires. It was supposed, he said, to be leaders of public opinion, but it was almost invariably the case that they were found on the side of the Licensing Party, or occupying a neu tral position. It had been said that the brewers had captured the Press, while the Prohibitionists had captured the Pulpit. He did not altogether agree with this, for al ready a decidedly altered tone was'mani fest in a number of journals in the colony. While the Prohibitionists had a noble army of workers the brewers had to pay people to work for them. It had been said that the Prohibition workers could be bought over, but he felt sure they would have a big task bafore them to purchase the votes of those who had arrainged them selves on the side of right, and who felt the justness of the cause for which they were fighting. The victory which had been gained emboldened them to go forward, and they confidently looked forward to the time when New Zealand would be a Prohibition State. Addresses were also given by Mr White (secretary of the New Zealand Alliance Association), Mr Adams (vice-president), and two or three others. The remarks generally of these speakers were on similar line? to those the chairman, expressing thankfulness to God for the victory which had been gained in the cause of Temper ance. Several hymns were sung during the evening, and the meeting was closed with the pronouncing of the Benediction. KAWHIA. From our own Correspondent. December 9th. After the recent storm we have had quite pleasant weather, and visitors are already arriving here to spend the summer at this delightful watering place. Several parties have lately visited the local thermal springs and have expressed themselves as being quite delighted with the scenery and surroundings. Owing to an epidemic of whoeping cough breaking out amongst the childrenattend ing the School, the local School Committee decided to close the school a week earlier, and open next year a week before the usual time. Before dispersing the scholars gave three cheers for the teach ers and for Mr Langley, the Chairman of the School Committee. The Native School has also broken up, and holds its annual concert in the Public Hall this (Friday) evening. A good and varied programme has been prepared, and quite a successful entertainment is certain to eventuate. The affair is to wind up with the usual dance. Another meeting of regatta subscribers is to take place on Saturday evening next, to re-arrange maiters connected with the Executive Committee, the reason for this being that most of the present members are unavoidably absent from the district, and the dates fijnd for the leading carnival are fast approaching. At present the only theme of conver sation of interest in Kawhia is the alleged cases of sly-grog selling to be heard before Mr W. H. Northcroft, S.M., on Tuesday next at Te Awamutu. On Wednesday morning last, the s.s. Kanieri Killed for passengers from One fa unga on her way to Waitara ; she is ex pected with cargo on Saturday morning next. Our mail now closes at 10 p.m. instead of at 6 p.m. as heretofore; this alterna tive proving of very great convenience to business men and all concerned. Mr W. A. Mason and his men are still busily engaged this fine weather at the Mica, sheepshearing. Mr Mason expects ajfine yield, and as his wool is of a good quality, he should at such recently ad vanced prices secure quite a handsome return. Messrs Lundou and Scott, local build ers, are at present erecting a new store for Mr F. Darcy Hamilton, our cash store keeper. The new building ia to be a two storied one, and is commonly supposed to be the first of the sort in Kawhia, but this is a mistake, as Mr Turnbull's present resi dence and the one Mr Crookes rents from Mr '. Wake are both two-storied. Several new families have recently ar rived id Kawhia, and intend settling'here, so that the place is still on the and dwelling-houses are in great demand! the difficulty in securing suitable sites be ing the chief drawback. It is understood that quite a number of speculators are anxious to build, if freehold sites are available. Toe annual election of the Native School Committee takes place in the Native School this afternoon, but, like the Maori hlection for the House nf .Representatives, little interest seems to be manifested in the result. Trade from Kawhia to the various settle ments within the harbour is very brisk all the launches being kept very busy. ROBBERY AT CAMBRIDGE. (By Telegraph.—Own Correspondent.) CAMBRIDGE, This Day. A robbery is reported to have taken place bere between 11 o'clock last night and two this morning, whereby Messrs W. Harper and 0. Hart, employees of Mr Sauibrey, baker, lost £3O and £ls respectively,. The robbers must have been aware that between the hours mentioned both men were work ing in the bakehouse, and taken advantage of their absence to extract the monoy from the house at the rear of the bakehouse > where they lodged. No clue to the per petrators has been discovered. PUKEKURA ROAD BOARD. ■ * _ The Board met at Cambridge on Satur uay last. Present. Messrs R. Fisher (chairman), J. Gane, W. White and W. Vosper. GRAVEL PIT. The Under Secretary of Crown Lands wrote statin,' he was awaiting the neces sary information to make the transfer of part of section 175 a'. Pukekura (a gravel reserve) for part of s ction 171. The Chairman said Mr Newcombe had now disposed of his section to Mr Mc- Vickers, and the latter did not appear anxious to have the transfer made, so he supposed they must let the matter drop. CAMBRIDGE WEST RESERVES. The following letter was read from Mr William Rout -.—" I understand the Auck land Land Board is calling for tenders to rent reserves in this township. Before they are irrecoverably disposed of for a long period I desire to draw your attention to the great desirability of securing section 199 for public purposes, whereon to place the public hail, which is now at rack rent of lus yearly, subject to alteration at any time; consequently the residents are dis inclined to spend money in adding to it or building a chimney, etc., to make it more useful, especially in the winter months, when it is most required. I would suggest that an application for this section be made by your Board, to be vested in trustees for public purposes. Then, if it is granted, the public hall can be removed and added to without fear of alteration in tenure, thus conferring a great advantage to the township, and moreover securing for your Board a hall for meeting whenever required Hoping this will approve itself to you. The Chairmen said on receipt of Mr Rout's letter he instructed the clerk to make application for the section, but a reply had been received saying that it was lodged too late, and the sections would be put up as advertised. death's creek bridge. The Chairman reported the acceptance of Mr P. Cooper's tender for erecting this bridge at £lB 10s for labour and iron work, the Board to find the timber. BOADS TO BE OPENED. A petition signed A. F. Stone, W. Wal lace, J. W. Souter, E. W. Souter, and C. Bailey was received, asking the Board to open and have fenced the continuations of Shakespeare and Shelly Streets, through the Domain paddocks to the petitioner's properties. Being a Domain matter, it was left till the Domain meeting. ACCOUNTS. The following accounts were passed for payment :—W. Souter and Co. £56 4s Id, J. Riley £l7 ss, Waikato Times £3 Is 6d. Waikato Argus £3 3s, rent 15s, petty cash £l, W. Brockelsby £5 6s 3d, J. Death £24 8s 3d. T. Vickers £1 Is. MISCELLANEOUS KOAD WORKS. Consideration of a large amount of road work was deferred until after harvest, mainly on account of the scarcity of labour at the present time. ROAD METAL. The Chairman said he had been thinking scoria from Auckland might be procured cheap enough to put on the station road at Ohaupo, but from enquiries made he found it would cost 6s per yard at the Ohaupo station, which made the procuring of the scoria out of the question. He believed if the various local bodies in the district would combine and decide how much they could do with, that Mr Wilson, who. had taken over the Te Kuiti limettone quarries would send up a stone breaker and "supply them with good material at a reasonable price. A member asked it they could not get good gravel from Otorohanga, where upon Mr Gane remarked there was equally good gravel on the road leading from his farm to the river, and he thought Mr Scott, would, like himself, be glad to have the gravel taken, as they could then lead the water from their lands direct to the river. The chairman thought if some of the traction engine proprietors had large and suitable trucks the Board might, 1 during the summer while the roads were ' hard, have gravel stored in various parts of the district ready for use whenever re quired. The subject then dropped. MYSTERY CREEK BRIDGE. The Chairman reported that the Waipa County Council had taken over the mainten ance of this bridge, the Board undertaking to defray half the cost. freeman's road. Complaints having been received of the unprotected state of a culvert on th;s road, Mr Gane was authorised to have necessary repairs made. REDOUBT EOAD. Mr Vosper said he had agreed with Mr Hall to get tie fence of this road attended to'as soon as Mr Vickers cleared away the briars, etc. DEFECTIVE CULVERT. «» Messrs C. Storey, R. J. Dooley and J. S. Fisher wrote asking that the culvert on Mr Death's estate, between R. Fisher's junr. and Walker's gully, be widened as it was in a dangerour state at present. It was re solved to comply with the request. CAMBEIDGE "WEST DOMAIN BOARD The members then sat as the above Board. TENNIS COURTS. The chairman reported that the lawn tenuis courts in the Recreation Reserve were almost completed. The work had been under the superintendence of Mr ). Brown, and he believed a very creditable job had been made of them. DOMAIN RESERVES. Mr W. Rout wrote re allowance being made for improvements made by t nants to Domain lands, such as bricked webs, etc. The chairman thought the n'iru<s' was reasonable and moved " 'hat, compennation for permanent improvem .nts be made at the termination of the :.y*s of tenants, according to »h«ir then v hie." The motion was seconded by Mr Whi and carried. The chairman siid of couri i they could not bind their successors to carry out the resolution, but it would be on the min utes, and would show the feelings of the Board at the present time. TRANS7KR. Mr C. Bailey wrote asking to have sec tion 86 transferred from himself to Mr G. Bailey. This was agreed to. THE OPENING OF ROADS. The chairman said if they were to open the roads, continuations of Shakespeare and Shelley streets, as referred to in the above Road Board report, they could hard ly ask the tenants to do the fencing, for their leases expired in about three years. It was resolved that the Board should do the fencing, and load the next lease with the cost. ACCOUNTS. The following accounts ware passed for payment: Rent ss, sa-.ary .£6, petty cash ss, T. Vickers 6s. The Board then rose. OUR LOCAL INDUSTRIS. THE WAIKATO BREWER. Yesterday afternoon, a representative of The Waikato Times, with a pre3BmaD's characteristic thirst for information and— refreshment, visited the Waikato Brewery, Hamilton, in order to investigate into the truth of certain complimentary remarks made, anont the special Christmas brew which Messrs C. 1,. Junes and Co. are pre paring for th" holiday season. On the object of the visit being made known to the enterprising head of the firm, that gentleman at once volunteered all in formation required, and proposed an in spection of the brewery, which was at once taken advantage of. The first department visited was the brewery, where the visitor was shown the liquor in its various stages of manufacture. The malt is placed in a large brass vessel, and soaked in hot water for two or three hours, when it is run off into the boiler, where the hops and other ingredients are added. The mixture is then boiled until the necessary strength is obtained, after which the liquor is cooled by means of one of the most complete and up-to-date coolers in the Auckland province. Passing over the cooler, the brew runs into the fermenting tun, brass-lined where it is allowed to ferment several days' after which it is carried by means of a hose into casks in the cellar, where the final stages of fermentation take place. In all some ten days are occupied in the brewing of liquor before it is fit for consumption The plant is what is known as a 5 hogßhead plant, and is certainly up-to-date and com plete, thus enabling the firm to produce a really reliable uniform beer. The bottling department was next visited and the visitor was struck by the evidenoe of a large trade given by the number of crates of bottles which stood ready for transit. , n reply to a remark Mr Innes said that of Ward's Champagne Ale, which is shipped in bulk and bottled by Messrs Innes and Co., his output was in cluding pints, quarts, etc., between 300 and 100 dozen per month, a very large stock of the Chmtchurch Ale and the local pro duct is carried and every care is taken that none but first quality is sent out. A very good invalid stout is also stocked, and the demand tor this is increasing rapidly It may not be generally known that Ward's bottled ale may be obtained in every hotel in the Auckland province. Passing to the aerated water factory it was soon seen that this forms no inconsiderable part of the business ; in fact, were prohibition carried, the firm could stillcarry on a large business in soft drinks." Here was seen at work the Hayward-Tyler aerator capable of turning out 100 dozen per diem, beinir worked by a small gas engine. All kinds ot aerated waters are manufactured, which are daily growing in popularity The business, which was established over 30 years ago, by the late Mr C Inn eß one of the pioneers of the Waikato. and taken over at his demise by the present proprietors, is, in spite of the prohibiß©n movement stdl increasing, and the whole concern is keeping pace with the improve ment of the district. Altogether, the plant is in hrst-class order and is kept perfects clean, so that the consumers may rely on the purity and wholesomeness of the liquor. Messrs Innes and Co. are to be heartily complimented on the enterprising manner in which the business has been kept abreast of the times, and deserve even great r success in the future than thev have had in the past.

CAMBRIDGE WEST. From Ouk Own CointKsi'i)xiiKST On Thursday next the scholars of tho Cambridge West Public School will break up for the Christmas holidays, and the Au nual Picnic aud Sports will be held on the following day, Friday, in the school grounds. This gathering is always looked forward to by tho children and their parents with interest and pleasure. Great activity is being displayed by those who have tho carrying out of the arrangements. s."> that it may be safely predicted that thi-i year's pit-nic will eclipse those of previous years. A meeting of the office-bearers and ad herents of the Wesley an Church was held on Wednesday evening last to arrange mat ters in connection with the Anmi'il Boxing Day Picnic. There was a large atteudanca, Mr A. Hill presiding. At the outset; of his remarks, tho Chairman pointed out that the paddock jformerly kindly placed at their disposal by Mr Kichard Reynolds had been broken up, and consequently the picnic would have to be held elsewhere. Mr Mc- Kinnon said there were other places on Mr Reynold's farm just as suitable and con venient as the one where the picnic had been held in the past, and he was certain Mr Reynolds would be only too glad to their holding it there this year. Messrs Hill and McKinnon were deputed to in spect the ground and tee Mr Reynolds. HaymaKing will be in full swing by the middle of the present week, but unfortun ately many of the crops are abnormally light at most places. There is a large area of oats in the Pukerimu and Pukekura dis tricts, but the area under wheat appears to be less than that of last year. The farmers are longing for a downpour of rain, not only to revive the grass, but also tho crops, which here and there present a stunted ap pearance.- The Cambridge East Band paid us a visit on Sunday afbjrnoon, and played a number of choice selections on Maori Hill. A good ly number were present, who seemed to thoroughly appreciate the efforts of the bandsmen. Mrs Rout kindly dispensed afternoon tea for the ladies and others who cared to avail themselves of her generos ity. THE SOUTH AFRICAN STEAM SERVICE. The London correspondent of the New Zealand Times writes —Price ! That, ac cording to an interviewee of the British Australasian, thoroughly conversant with the projects of the New Zealand and African Steamship Company, is the crux of the whole question of New Zealand trade with South Africa. If you are prepared to take the same prices as the Argentine for your mutton in South Africa, then you can do a big trade, and the service will prosper. If you don't, then you won't get the trade, and the service will be discontinued after the year's experiment. South Africa at pre sent won't pay for better quality of meat; and while the Imperial Cold Storage Com pany is anxious to place its orders in British colonies, it is prompted by con siderations of price. " Our Australasian friends," said the interviewee, " write about cheap labour and silver currency, but what does that concern a man when he is buy ing IO.OOJ sheep, and one lot offers at 3d and another at SJidi'" South Africa, he thought, would not take New Zealand lambs in any quantity. Neither to New Zealand noi to the Argentine was there any back freight, so that in this respact the two competitors were on an equal footing. The whole question began and ended with the question of price. That is one reason why the contract was only entered into for a year. " Another reason was that New Zetland wanted a special stylo of boat. In building boats like that, one could very easily lose a quarter of a million of money. At the end of the year it will be seen what the trade is. Then special boats will be put on. Seddon has made a splendid bargain for his colony. He has got all the advantages of very large carriers being put in the trade, the shipping company taking all the risk. At the end of the year, if Mr Seddon says,' Ido not like you/ he doesn't pay anything. So, running all the risk, the shipping company was not prepared to put on the steamers the New Zealand Go vernment required as an experiment. In my opinion, the business ability of Mr Seddon and Sir Joseph Ward has in this matter been above that of some colonial premiers, at any rate." The interviewee concluded by saying that " there is more refrigerating space in the vessels put into the trade than asked for by the Govern ment, and that is an error—if it is an error —on the right Bide for the New Zea landers'" OTOROHANGA. ♦- (Frow Our Own Correspondent) The school concert was held on Friday nigbt and was largely attended. The child ren went through a very long and varied programme which appeared to please the audience immensely, especially the action Bongs, choruses and parallel bars perfor mances (boys), and bow exercise (girls). Solos and duets were given by the Misses Cossin, Johnson, West bury, and Morrisy; Mr Burnand and Miss Metch sang the popular " A.8.C." duet with good effect, and had to respond to a vociferous encore. The accompaniments were played by Miss Johnson, who opened the concert with a pianoforte duet with Master Lowe, who is one of her pupils, and Bhows great promise. The programme was brought to a close by a maypole dance, performed by 10 girls and 10 boys, Miss Ellis leading the march as Queen of the May. Great credit is due to the headteacher, Mr Lowe, and his as sistant, Miss Metch, for the way the child ren behaved, "stage fright" being conspicu ous by its absence, every item going off smoothly. Mr John Ormsby, chairman of the School Committee, acted as chairman for the en tertainment, and said in a few remarks at the close of the entertainment that he was pleased to see such a large attenda-.ee, which he considered should be the case al ways, as we had several very talented per formers here who were always willing to assist local objects by entertainments, etc, who should be encouraged by the public, as it was the cause of a lot of time being ex pended, and if not well patronised by the public was very discouraging to the per formers, whose efforts were creditable and worth seeing, without taking into consider ation the fact that some institution always benefitted. The district, from all accounts, has been visited by a couplu of gentlemen touring the country, in se.ireh of health and whiskey. From all accounts they found the whiskey, and it will probably mean a busy Court day in Te Awanmtu in the near future, ft would 1? m-.ieh better if the Government would .st-pllie sly grog-sell ing, and grant licenses hero, a.s the condi tions of this district are entirely different to what they were when Prohibition was proclaimed.

The monthly meeting of tti6 above body, held at Te Mata on Saturday evening last, was well attended by members. The chair was occupied by Mr W. M. Bankart, the President. The matter of the contemplated visit of the Government Dairy Commissioner to the distiict was discussed, and it was agreed that the secretary make the necessary ar rangements for Mr Kinsella to address a meeting of the Club at Te Mata in the evening, and for a subsequent demonstra tion in matters connected with testing, ect. Ac the Raglan Factory, if the duration of the Commissioner's stay in the district would permit. Mr Kinsella has advised the club that he is likely to be in Auckland at the end of the present mouth. The l'e Uku branch of the Club having requested that copies of the list of register ed brands and earmarks of local stockowners be obtained, and offered to members at a price which would defray the cost of print ing, it was resolved that the request be ac ceded to, and that copies be disposed of to members at one shilling each, and to non members at double that price. Mr R. Vernon, senr., submitted a letter he had received from a well-known firm of Auckland auctioneers and fruit salesmen, relative to the prices realisable for good varieties of locally-grown late keeping apples, in which it was stated that an area planted in suitable varieties in this dis trict would probably give a return from 25 to 33£ per cent greater than that secured by growers in the North, as the Raglan grown fruit came in when prices were high. Mr Vernon said his acre of orchard pro duced a bigger return than any other acre on his farm ; his " Northern Spy " apples, marketed in July, had realised 3d pjr lb, clear of expenses, in Auckland, though he had previously sold them in Raglan at Id per lb. On the motion of the chairman, seconded by Mr Comes, the hearty thanks of the Club were awarded to Mr Vernon for bring the matter under the Club's notice and for information supplied. It was also agreed that the secretary communicate with the Department of Agricultuse ask ing for a suggestion as to the best and cheapest means of storing apples for future sale. Mr Theo. Cornille introduced a motion of which he had given notice at a previous meeting, viz., th • of starting a Fertiliser and Seed-buying Association in connection with the or co-operating in such matter with some existing body After considerable discussion it was re solved " That owing to the advantages offered by existiug associations it is not advisable to form a Fertiliser and Seed buying Association in connection with the Eaglan Farmers' Club." A paper entitled" An Idea of Co-oper ation, as it should be carried out in New Zealand," submitted by the author, Mr G. H. Buckeridge, of Kawhia, with a request that it be considered by the Club, was read by the President. At its conclusion several members spoke in a complimentary manner of the way in which Mr Buckeridge had dealt with his subject, and a resolution was passed to the effect that that gentle tleman be thanked for his paper, but at the same the members are of opinion that a subject of less magnitude would be more within the scope of the Club's action. Mr Price again introduced the matter of the desirability of the Club's advocating the establishment of a public pound, and gave notice to move in that direction at the next meeting, the secretary being re quested to ask the branches to discuss°the matter in the meantime.

THE WAIKATO TIMES, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 16 1902 " lo uiscoutinuo says John Wanamaker, thu millionaire, "is like taking down your sign. If you want to do business you must lot tin.' people know it. Standing advertisements, when frequently changed, are better ami cheaper than read ing notices. They look more substantial and bvsiness-like, and inspire confidence. I would as soon think of doing business with out a clerk as without advertising." This is advice which all business men would do well to follow, but it must be borne in mind that the advertising medium must be the best obtainable. We can confidently say that in consequence of its large circu lation, The Waikato Times is the best paper in the Waikato to advertise concern ing anything pertaining to a farming com. muaity. ■Sr^S&SK&SS 6 taown la SANDER AND SONS DCALYPTI EXTRACT Test its eminent power. croup, diptheria, bronchitis, inflammation ol th* medal and i Amsterdam *■ MjaoUUoUwM _ -j; patron ty the King of Italy; crowned with oma at International Exhibition, *rt .is Ma improved article and Business Notices.

PRACTICAL POULTRY NOTES. LBy Minorca.] A\ hat about a general spring clean ing-up? _ .Moulting is natural and not a disease. Treat moulting hens carefully but rationally. Protect your fowls from the wind in ill quarters. Quality is the first essential in mar vet products. There is l'uoin for improvement in every branch. Market all surplus stock as soon as they are ready. Well cared-for hens don't mind the moulting process. " When the stormy winds do blow, the laying fit doth go." Don't hold them until just before Christinas, in hopes of obtaining i„ i ter prices. It is time to fatten up the Christ I mas table stock ; place them in 100- shady yards. If the poultry census wen: taken now, it would not be very rename five weeks hence. Often the last market or so before Christmas Day sees a glut:, and the bottom falls ogf of the prices. When you feel hot and weary, be fore going into the shade to rest, make sure the chickens can enjoy a similar privilege. Collect the eggs often at this sea son and above all, don't leave one in the nest as a "nest egg." It is a miserable custom ; use a dummy. Knowledge of the individual charac teristics of the hens can only •be gained by constant association with them, and careful observation of their traits. If the fowls are well dusted with insect powder at first, and the 'lroppings removed daily, then on account of cleanliness, free ventliation md comfort, there should be nothing to retard the fattening process. The laying hen, in almost every case, is one that is active and busy. The one that is never idle is, as a rule, a good layer for the reason that her active habits keep her in proper condition for producing eggs. Green bone is very dangerous in the hands of an inexperienced feeder. A little too much will work havoc among a lot of chicks and will stop hens from laying so suddenly that the feeder will wonder what has happened. Lt can be employed with advantage in winter by the careful feeder, but some breeders have found ground beef scrap quite as useful, less costly and safer. The early hatched females make the best winter layers, and for this reason the poultry-keeper who desires to feed and maintain a flock for winter egg production should make up his yards with well-matured early hatched pullets. Select those that are the best developed and aim to get them to beg'in laying before the •old weather begins, and then keep them in all through the winter. Many farmers hesitate to keep waterfowl where there is no natural water for them, and deem such a prime requisite. This is not true, as Pekin Ducks and Toulouse Oeese get along first-class with simply water for drinking purposes only. (Jive them plenty of coarse bulky food, livn grass and vegetables, with some grain ; and mesit and eggs will be obtained at a low cost. The poultry industry of the United States has assumed enormous propor tions. There are about ninety jour nals in the States devoted to poultry. The prices of poultry and eggs have been very high all this year. This is due to the short supply and the high price of other meat food. Fowls were recently selling at Is lid lb alive turkeys about 7d, ducks about the same, and geese 20s the dozen. Eggs were worth 7s to 8s the dozen, and the demand is brisk at the price. December calls for very careful at tention as regards the feeding of the flock. The hatching season is over and the supply of eggs is already be ginning to wane. In ordinary seasons some of the more progressive hens would already begin to drop their feathers, though the majority will yet wait for a considerable time. Heat ing fatty foods must be avoided, that is, in anything like liberal quantities. A surplus of this kind of food will cause the fowls much discomfort, and although it may cause an earlier shed ding of the feathers such is hardly a benefit when secured at such cost. The birds that have laid well during the past season now need plenty of <*ood nourishing food to get them into good (not fat) condition to withstand the moulting strain. Wheat and oats, both whole and ground, will be found the best for this purpose, especially if com bined with animal food'or milk. The same ration will suit the growing stock, while all birds that are not to be held over till next year should be given a little corn in addition to fit them for the Christmas market. Just now. too, greenstuff in abundance to all cla ses of stock is an absolute necessity There is hope for the British poultry farmer, notwithstanding the fact that last year two billion eggs were brought into this country at a cost of £5,500,000 sterling.' Mi- Lewis Wright, the author of the new " Book on Poultry " protests against the allegations that the foreigner has ousted the Englishmen from the egg market. There is no grain of evi dence, he says, that an English egg the less has ever been sold for foreign competition. On the contrarv, the foreigner has merely stepped in where the home producer could not or would not. supply the enormou". de mand. Home production has enormously increased. It appears that our habits as egg-eaters under went an extraordinary revolution during the latter part of "the last cen tury. Twenty years ago, writes Mr Wright, the vast majority of persons had never tasted a really new-laid egg, and did not know what it was Ike. Now many thousands do, ami are viling to pay for it.

THE OLDEST DAILY NEWSPAPER IN THE WAIKATO. WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 17, 1902. NEW ZEALAND AND THE BOER WAR. Oxk of the latest canards circulated in Australia regarding this Colony is one contained in the recent issue of the Australasian " Review of Re views," in which a correspondent, writing from Port Adelaide under the non-de-plume of "Federal Taxpayer," accuses New Zealand of preventing the despatch of valuable aid during a critical part of the Boer War. The writer commends Sir E. Barton for his caution in declining to ratify any new agreement concerning the subsidy to the auxiliary squadron until the mat ter had been dealt with by the Fede ral Parliament. He then says: When Joubert invaded Natal, Premier King ston of South Australia communicated with the various Premiers,with a view of sending off the whole of the auxi liary squadron to Durban—in all, five ships, armed with 17 guns, the crews of which would have aggre gated some twelve or fourteen hun dred men, and men and guns were badly wanted there, then and after wards—and these vessels were all fast steamers, and would have been in Dur ban in about eighteen days. Yet I have been told that because New Zea land declined, the ships could not go. Thus, with an agreement like this, the wish of the five colonies (since feder ated), in prompt and vigorous action for the relief of Natal was nullified by the tietion of one." When we remem ber the high Imperialistic wave of sen timent which swept over New Zealand during the continuance of the Boer War. and the Colony's expressed and reiterated determination to see the thing through at all costs, such a statement bor ders on the ridiculous. In the first place, Mr Seddon never refused sanc tion to any such scheme ; in the se cond, his sanction or refusal would have counted for nothing, as the squadron is entirely under the control of the Admiral of the station, tind the Admiralty can order the ships wherever they choose without consulting any f the colonies. Had the Australian Colonies desired to afford the naval aid referred to, they could only have expressed their wish that the authorities should make use of the squadron. l Hard as was the strife in South Africa we doubt if at any time the position was so critical that the services of the Australian squadron were needed. .Military assistance certainly was acceptable, and freely given, but even the most narrow Little Englander will not maintain that the struggle, called for the sending of a naval force from the Pacific, in which, probably, its presence was a greater factor for peace than the few hundred men which could have been spared to proceed to the interior of South Africa.

The annual concert given by the pupils of St. Mary's Convent Hamilton, which will take place to-morrow evening, pro mises to be a most successful entertain ment. The children have been assiduously practising for some time past under the tuition of the Sisters, and a higii standard of proficiency in the various action songs, dances, aud dialogues has been attained. In addition to the children's items, Madame Lo Lievre and Mr West have kindly offered to assist. 'Tickets are 2s and Is, and the do >rs open at 7.30 p.m. Friction has arisen in Dunedin over the steps taken by the district health officer (Dr. Ogstou) to cope with the outbreak of scarlet fever. A short time ago the local bodies were called upon to take the steps for which they are liable, but as they were somewhat tardy in doiug to, Dr. Ogstou worded his request somewhat strongly. The Otago Education Board thought the Health Department was inclined to b. arbitrary, and refused to carry out its instructions. Dr. Ogston has now taken a more agressive attitude, aud threatens to compel compliance with lii 3 instructions. An inquest was held yesterday at Whan gamata on the remaius of the Maori chief Matoura, a centenarian, who was burned to death on Friday. Mr Max Kiug (acting coroner) conducted the euquiiy, and Con stable Steveues represented the police. It came out in the evidence that the deceased had been a Church of England lay-preacher, and a great student, of the Bible. A verdict of accidental death, no blame at taching to anyone was returned. Mr Waymouth, who is the local financial agent to the Antarctic expedition, has as certained (says the Lyttelton Times; that the accounts for the relieving ship Morn ing's disbursement alone amount to about £1735. The largest item is £291 2s Sd !'■ r Coats. Of the total, 4,'»>l(j will be paid to the people in Lyttelton, practically all of the balance going to Chri.itcLur h. The accounts will be met by means of the vote of £IOOO from the New /.aland Govern ment, which was placed to < aptaio C 1- beck's credit on Saturday, and by a draft on the Royal Society, London. The Egmont Settler, referring to the victory of the lion. W. Jennings, who has been elected for the Egniout seat, re marks:—" Taranaki, with its large number of small settlers, now sends four Go vernment supporters to Parliament -a political record that is unique in the his tory of the province. Mr Seddon's wish, as expressed at a social gathering iu Kltham a few days b'fore the general election, has been gratified, and his Government are worthy of congratulation on the result. We have no doubt that Messrs Smith, Jennings, Symes and Major will, as Tara naki's representatives, do their utmost to accelerate the prog ess of their various constituencies, in the Parliament of Ntw Zealand."' We would once more direct atten tion to Messrs W. C. Davis and Co's sale to-morrow. Besides a miscellaneous assortment of goods, there is a good entry of poultry, and as Christmastide is upen us with all its feasting, intending buyers should avail themselves of this opportunity to purchase. On a previous occasion we have poiuted out the advantage of a weekly* market for Hamilton, but those immediately interested iu its establishment have not supported the efforts of Messrs Davis and Co. as they should have done. It may not be generally known that sellers are getting higher prices at the Hamilton market than those obtained iu the Auckland markets. But such is the case. The prices quoted last week by the Auckland poultry vendors were from Is 3d to 2s 6d for hens and rooters, while it is rare indeed that a hen is sold for less than Js 6d at the local market, while they frequently fetch as much as 2s to 2s 3d. Such being the case. it is decidedly in tiie interests of producers to patronise the local firm, audassist in every possible way to make the market a Waikato institution. A Hat contradiction is given by Mr J. M. Sinclair, the State's Commercial Agent\ to the statement that there has been a de terioration in the quality of Victorian but ter. It seems that the assertion was made in a trade circular issued by Messrs Weddel and Co. The exact terms iu which the charge was made were that " the quality of the Victorian butter imported into (treat Britain durine' last season was not so good, and showed a falling-off from the standard of previous years." Mr Sinclair says: " [ do sire to state that such was not the case in regard to the butter sent from the regular country factories. The standard of quality from t'e.e factories was fully maintamed, although, as usual, there was some butter arrived which could not be regarded as first-class. The butter generally arrived in better condition, and there were fewer com plaints of ' fishiuess' than in the two previous seasons.'' At the conclusion of his report on the subject, Mr Sinclair re marks: '"There is, of course, a very con siderable quantity of second grade butter arriving, the result no doubt, of keeping cream too long, and of using hand separa tors. Tlrs, a is veil known, does not help the reputation of Victorian butter." These are bold assertions to make regard ing any medicine, but there is abundant proof of every one of the above statements regarding this reme ly. Every household should have a bottle at hand. Get it to day. It mav save a life. W. DEY, Agent. Hamilton; THOMAS WELLS, Agent, Cam bridge ; GEO. M. A. AHIER, Agent, Te Awamutu sell it. Mr D.

A Christchurch telegram dated yester day says : To-day is the 52nd anniversary ot the founding of the Canterbury settle menc. The day is a close holiday in the city, he chief attractions are the opening of the secMon of the Waipara-Cheviot rail way from Waipa-a to Cargill, the Racing Club's meeting, the Akaroa Regatta, and the New Zealand Wheel Race meeting. The weather was very wet this morning, but cleared up at midday. There was a large number of visitors at all the sports meetings. The cables informed us, a few days ago, that the wife of a Wiltshire magistrate, named Peuruddocke, had been fined .£SO at the Old Bailey for illtreating and causing unnecessary suffering to a six-year-old child. From English papers we learn that the preliminary hearing of this case occurred at the Salisbury Petty Sessions, and result -d in Mrs' I'enruddocke, being committed for trial, bail be ing allowed. Mrs I'enruddocke form erly Miss -\nnie Elizabeth Speke, is a daughter of the late Rev. William Speke, of Sheldon Court, Devon, and first cousiu of the late Captain J. H. Speke, the African explorer. She married, in 181)0, Mr Charles Penrudlocke, a man of great wealth, of Compton Park, Wiltshire, and Bratton-street, Maur, Somersetshire, Lord of the Manors of Compton, Oham berlayue, Baverstock and Fyfield, Wilt shire, and a magistrate for Wilts and Somerset. The evidence at the first hear ing showed that while Mrs I'enruddocke was a kind mother to her other children, she had a very'siroag feeling of hatred # to this child from its birth, and had made it her object to re-tder the child's life unhappy and imp sable. A number of servants forme: 1/ in the employ of Mrs Peuruddocke stated that the child had been repeatedly lieateu. On one occasion the defendant expressed a wish that her daughter would eat soni" poisonous berries ; on another thai -die hoped the child would fall oft a donkey and break her neck, on another that she would catch chickenpjx from a brother who then suffering from that complaint, and that would" finish her off. It w s also said tba 1 the child had been pushed out of a window and had b.-en fed with mustard. The child Con stance was called, a.i! ijjave evidence caus ing considerable sensation by saying the big bruise the doctor saw on her body was caused by a kick from her mother. She had a wasp put down her neck by her mother, who immediately afterwards rub bed her face with stinging nettles Dr. Coates, of Salisbury, deposed to examining the child, when he found a large number of bruises all over the body, evidently caused by a stick or whip, and one evident ly from a kick.

It was advocated that all available land situated uotr the railway line should be opened up without los-; of lime, also that ,1! sums granted f r roads should be ex pended during the dry weather. It was stated that rattle and goods and loading stations at Ilangatiki were pro mised, as they are i-rjatly needed.

THE VENEZUELAN TROUBLE Latest Uabh^TTHP IMIK rjNTL'Kt) L'KkJSS ASSOCIATION COPYRIGHT. ♦ THE ULTIMATUM REJECTED LONDON. Dec 15. Britain's ultimatum to Venezuela demanded an immediate sum equal ling that which ought in the first in stance to have been paid to Germany, the balance, after the payment of urgent claims, to go towards the claims reserved for the decision of the mixed commission. Germany's ultimatum complained of Venezuela's evasion and offensive language, warning them of the results of a refusal to settle the difficulty in conformity with international law. INFURIATED CITIZENS. (■Received Dec. lfi, 8.58 p.m.) NEW YORK, Dec. 13 Baltazzi, the German Charge d'Affaires at Caracas, telegraphed from Port of Spain on the lUth inst. that President Castro had rejected every point in the ultimatum. Castro's message announcing that the authorities at Puerto Cabello had been ordered to afford satisfaction was not delivered to the allies until the forts were in ruins. Two Venezuelans were wounded during the bombardment. The com mander of Castle Libertador was cap tured. The residents of Caracas are furious. Ten thousand people demonstrated in the streets, clamouring for repri sals. Castro advised prudence and good will, and swore to sacrifice his life for the honour of his country. The President suddenly ordered the discontinuance of reprisals. He visited the sick wife, of the German Charge d'Affairs at Caracas, and offered the hospitality of the palace. ATTITUDE OF THE ARGEN TINE. AMERICA'S EFFORTS AT SETTLEMENT. REPEATED WARNINGS DIS REGARDED. Received December 17, 12.02 a.m. NEW YORK, Dec IG. Argentine is aspiring to a pre ponderating role in the Venezuela dis pute if Senator Hay is inactive or fails to effectively assert the United States' moral protectorate arising out of the Monroe Doctrine. It is now semi - officially explained in Washington that Mr Rowen, with Senator Hay's consent, was the iniatiator of President Castro's overtures for a peaceful settlement: nevertheless, President Castro's un willingness to recognise the principle of liability beforehand is considered a serious obstacle to arbitration. Another Washington semi-official statement asserts the Columbian officers at Panama and Colon are steadily and quietly preparing to in vade Nicaragua NEW YORK, December 16. A Blue Book just issued shows that President Castro repeatedly shuffled and procrastinated, alleging as the reason the partiality of the Trinadid authorities towards the re volutionaries, adding that pending the settlement of the complaints regard ing the revolutionary warship Ban righ, settlement of the British claims must be postponed. Britain's assur ances that the Banrigh left England only after the Columbian Minister stated she was intended for the Columbian Government,w?re disregar ded, and all remonstrances were futile. Three distinct warnings, including the ultimatum, followed. THE SOMALI WAR LONDON, Dec. 15. Colonel Manning has applied for another seven hundred Indian troops for the Somali campaign.

BIGAMY AND FRAUD Keceived December 17, I.] h.iu. LONDON, December 15. At the Old Bailey, Ce-i! Wallace, who claims to be a N w Z.iiiuuder. was sentenced to five v.m:n imprison ment for bigamy and twelve months for fraud; both sentences to be con current. A VISIT TO MK KAXSTEAD'S FARM. A gentlemen who recently drove from Hamilton to Ohaupo scuds us the following interesting account of a visit he paid to .Mr Ranstead's farro. The roads aro in first-rate con dition and the country looks lovely; t.e pastures are rich on every hand, the cattle in almost every paddock being knee deep in feed. I passed some paddocks shut up for hay, and the prospect of heavy crops of hay are iea!ly The crops of oats are looking particularly well, and in most instances are well grown. In some few instances I noticed the crops in ear with only a font of straw, and in con versation with farmers the opinion was freely expressed that the price for chaff during the coming season would he high. The cherry crops are ripening off very nicely, and those who are fortunate enough to have such a. crop are reaping a good harvest at lid per lb iu the auction marts. On the way over I called at Mr Ran stead's, and was interested t > watch his systematic procedure in calf feeding, the outcome of careful study on his part, and hints from farm and dairy journals. In a cosy little plantation of pines I found Mr Ranstead and his assistant busily employe!. Adjacent to the fence which burrouuds the plantation were located two washing boilers ; into one the skim milk as it came from the fac tory was emptied, and into the second a quautity of linseed was placed, to which was added water. Both boilers were brought to a certain temperature, and a half-gallon tin of the warm muk was strengthened with half a pint of the warm linseed jelly. This formed the meal for each calf, and is given twice daily (varm in both cases). The mode of feeding was both novel and well planned. Along the fence which surrounds the plantation a series of small bails are erected, each a few feet apart. The calves upon hearing the buckets rattling bail up, and are made fast (as in the case of dairy cows), and each then receives its full meal. The elves are kept bailed until all have been fed, and also a few minutes after the last has been sup plied, in order, as Mr Ranstead explained, to allow them time to lick their lips, and thus prevent them sucking eaah other. This means of feeding certainly tias mani fold advantages—both weak and strong get their full share, the calves are kept in ex cellent health, put on condition qoickly, are easier handLd in the case of heifers which mature and calve. They certainly look worth several shillings per head more than the usual run of calves, and with plenty of good young grass obtain a constitution which stands them in good stead as they mature and during the winter season which follows on their suckling age. Mr Ran stead gives each calf now milk (as much aa it can drink) for the first three weeks. As evidence of the ta.ty nature of the feed, Mr Ranstead held up bucket after bucket, which was licked as dry as possible. JUDGING AT SHOWS. The educational importance of agricul tural shows is the subject of a report sub mitted to the secretary of the Victorian Agricultural Department by Mr H. Pye, principal of the Dookie College. The State has been, he says, very liberal to agricul tuial societies, and should it continue this support, it should have the benefit of some written report embodying the educational a-pacts of the show as well as the results of t'ie efforts of the society during the year. This would tend to encourage the societies t > initiate reforms, especially if the State offered prizes among societies in proportion t > the advantages derived by the farming community from their work. According to Mr Pye, there have been instances where animals and other exhibits not worthy of prizes as first-class exhibits, are neverthe less awarded first prizes. This, he points o it, is misleading to other farmers, who purchase some of the progeny of the ani mals, Mr Pye is strongly of opinion that there should be a school for teaching judging, not only for the sake of having uniformly good judges at shows, but also t > create in youag stock breeders a thor ough knowledge of the breeding and im provement of the breeds of stock on lines adopted by the most famous breeders of the world. * » THTI WAIKATO TIMES, DECEMBER 17 1902 NIOATE&Cot TOTALLY SclipsS M.. .

The following circular letter was receiv ed from t'ue secretary of the New Zealand Farmers' Union:— l Auckland, December Ist, I'JO2. Di'ir Sir,—At the last meeting of the . Executive of the New Zealand Farmers' ( Union, I was requested to communicate i with the different branches in the Auck- j land Province, stating that in accordance t with Pule 10, it would bo necessary to , make a levy of Is per member for the year t ending 31st March, I'.KW, to defray current , expenses, and to pay a levy of 6d per mem- j ber due from the Auckland Province to the. Central Executive at I'almerston North * The Executive at the same time expressed N the opinion that such a low levy as Is per y member would be insufficient to defray the . expenses during the ( nsuing year, and that ' f it would be necessary to make a levy of at c 1 least Is 6d, As a number of accounts have to be paid forthwith, the Committee would be glad if you would kindly collect and for- c ward the above-mentioned levy and any r entrance fees now at hand at your earliest t consilience. . EDWIN HALL, Secretary. , The Chairman pointed out that a mis- [" take had b;en made in sin ling this Circu- , lar letter to the branches. The fees have , to be paid from the general fund, and the , parent Club was the body to deal with tho ( question. A levy of Is had been agreed » upon by the Executive Committee, and =£2o had been paid on account, and the balance ' would be forwarded after the accounts for i the year had been made up. ( PRESENT TO THE CLUB. ■ , A letter was received from the New Zea land Drug Co., stating that they had for- , warded, as a present to the (Tub, a hand some show case containing a range of samples of Westtield manures, with a writ ing table attached for the use of members of the Club.

The following letter from the General Manager of the New Zealand Government Railways was read: Wellington, Nth December, UH)2. Sir, — I have the honour, by the direction of the Minister for Rail ways, to inform you that from the in quiries made by this Department of the various Chambers of Commerce, Farmers' Clubs and leading grain - merchants throughout the colony, it is found that a a great diversity of opinion exists as to the size of grain-sack which would commend itself to grain-dealers, and at the same time meet the representations of the workers, who have at various times strongly urged that the 2401b sa,ck at pre sent in U3O causes very serious inlury to the men handling the sucks. The Minister recognises that the com plaint is a reasonable one and calls for remedy. He therefore desires me to re quest your body to take the matter into its early consideration and furnish him with pitftr-views thereon in order that he may be * in * position to adopt a sack which will meet the requirements of the grain-dealers, and at the same time overcome the diffi culties complained of by those engaged in handling grain. When the size of the sack has been decided upon, a by-law will be gazetted regulating the same, and at least twelve months' notice will be given of tho alteration to enable present stocks of sacks to be used up. The Minister is anxious that the size of the new bag should be decided upon before . orders for sacks for the 1904 season's grain are given, and will therefore be pleased if you will favour him with a reply at the earliest possible date.—l have, etc., Your obedient servant, T. RONAYNE. I leneral Manager. The secretary was instructed to send the Department a copy of the. Club's resolution of April 21, 1 ' 2, adopting a two bushel \ sack. y MANURE ADULTERATION. The following letter was received from the Department of Agriculture regarding proposed amendments to the Manure Adul t' ration Act: — J " With reference to your letter of 2'.ith ulto urgintr tint a bill to amend the Manure Adulteration Act be prepared, I have the honour to inform you that the matter will be considered before next 4 *fc>ession of Parliament." EXECUTIVE MEjCTIXi;. The Chairman read tho report of the GfiPCidl Executive Meeting held at Hamil ton on the 28th ulto and the following matters were discussed. farmers' union party in tub HOUSE, Mr Buckland stated that the questions were too ambigiuus, and could be under stood and answered in more than one way. lie however would support the action of the Executive. The motion wa? agreed to. ANNUAL PICNIC. It was resolved that the picnic be held in March, at Ruakura Government Farm, as recommended by the Executive Com mi (tee. STKRILIMNO BONES. The Executive passed a re.-nlution re questing the Government to hav ■ all bones thoroughly st rili.sed before being sent out. Mr lluckland was of opin'on that th< Lest way to sterilise bone was to mix it with superphosphate about a week before being used as the sulphuric acid in tle> super will desi roy all microbes. Mr li'ackmore was of op ; nion that the anthrax in New Zealand was nt introduced iu the Line, but was produced by stagnant water or tilth of some kind. He was quite sure that the bone-dust scare was quite uuneces ary. Anthrax generally occurs where cattle are fed on turnips, and eat a lot of dirt, and had an insufficient supply of straw. The motion of the Executive was con firmed. ACCIDENT INSURANCE The resolution recommending members to patronise the, Covernment < >tlie-p was agreed to. members' fee. On the motion 'f Mr Barugh seconded by Mr Forrest it was resolved that the members' fee be raised to "s (id per annum as from the Ist of March, l!)0:i. EXECUTIVE MEETING. In connection witli the Executive meet ing the Chairman pointed out that the press had reported that it was agreed to hold the annual meetings of the Club at Hamilton. This was an error—there had been no resolution passed to that effect. It was spoken of but no action was taken. rule virr The motion to amend "Rule VII. was neg atived, as the alteration was considered unnecessary. CENTRAL STOCK MARKET. The following resolution was forwarded by the Te Kowhia Branch : —"That the parent Club be requested to use every effort to establish a central fat stock market in Hamilton for the whole of the Waikato." Mr Robert Fisher thought the sugges tion a good one ; the question of site how ever was one that wanted careful consider ation. The resolution would need to be discussed with a view to meeting both buyers and sellers, and he considered that it should he referred to the Executive and moved—"That the question of establish ing a central fat stock market be referred to the Executive to report upon." Mr Forrest pointed out that it was but two or three months since a fat stock mar ket was opened at ( ambridge. It was doing well and he would oppose any attempt to interfere with it. Mr Fisher's motion was carried. COLONIAL CO-OPERATION. A circular letter was received from Mr Q. H. Buckeridge, of Ka>hia, urging upon the club the, necessity of taking up the question of Federal Co-operation, and en closing a reprint of an interesting article on the subject from the " Auckland Weekly News " of September 17, 11102. Mr Buckeridge claims that there is a leakage of over one million pounds sterling annually to the producers of New Zealand owing to the want of a proper system of co-operation in placing their products on the market. After instancing several cases iu which co-operativo systems have suc ceeded, he concludes by saying :—" J con sider the formation of a colonial Federated Co-operative Institution for the control of the sale of New Zealand produce would herald a period of increasing and unpre cedented prosperity for the colony, and would successfully solve the difficulties for the betterment of the conditions under which our produce is sold, besides arrang ing for requisite new markets. lam quite prepared to devote a consideral/e amount of time to assist in its inauguration, and will be glad of the co-operation of all those who are interested in the work and of any suggestions as to the dbest means to adopt to ensure the speedy establishment of this much to b" desired object." Buckeridge in the above-named article to the" Auckland Weekly " outlines a most comprehensive scheme for forming a Colo nial Co-operative Union for deulicg with the products of the colony. We regret that space will at present not permit of our giv ing the full text of Mr Buckeridge's scheme.] Mr Forrest considered the question one that should receive the earnest considera tion of all producers. Colonial co-opera tion was coming. There would soon be a change in the matter of stock sales. Mr Buckland considered that the farmer should stick to farming. He criticised the circular and pointed out that we should I've and let live. The present method of distribution was as economical as could reasonably be expected. Mr Buckland moved and Mr C. bey seconded that the letter be received and Mr Buckeridge thanked for the same. This was carried. LECTURES. Mr Wells said that he had had an inter view with Mr Lyons, who expressed his pleasure at his recent visit to Cambridge, lie had consulted his colleagues and they had agreed that the best way to help the settlers would be to form classes for young men for instruction. Subjects could be treated and ocular demonstration given. Mr Lyons had authorised him (Mr Wells) to bring the matter before the Club. The Secretary was instructed to write to Mr Lyons on the subject, stating that the Club would be glad to avail themselves of such an arrangement. RAILWAY TIME TABLE. Mr J. Cane moved: "That this Club thank the Railway Department for the in troduction of the new time table and trusts that the business of the district will warrant its continuance." BRANCH ACCOUNTS. Mr Butler (the late secretary), called attention to a financial matter in connection with Te Kowhia. It appears that a pay ment of .£3 10s had been omitted from last year's balance sheet owing to its having come in too late for inclusion, and a similar item had occurred in the case of Ohaupo, an item of Xi 5s came in in April and waa expected to appear in the March statement. He further printed out that with the exception of Tamahere none of the branches had had their accounts audited as required by the rules. IVKl'ill BRIDOE. It was resolved.— That owing to con tinued dissatisfaction, the Railway Depart ment bo written to, requesting them to provide a new weigh bridge at Frankton. HAI'ER ON " THE COW." Mr Blackunre read a most interesting and in. tractive paper on the "dairy cow.' 1 A< the hour was late, Mr Sturges proposed a hearty vote of thanks to Mr Blackmore, and that the question be de ferred until next meeting and tliat the dis cussion take first place on the order paper. —This was agreed to.

THE WAIKATO TIMES, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 17 1902 •r, tlv null business you must let the people know it. Standing advertisements, when frequently changed, are better and cheaper than read ing notie.es.

All matters in any way pertaining to industry are of the greatest im po :n ce to our renders, and we there f >.v ijve in extenso an article which applied in the Evening Lost of the loth nsr, C'v.vspondence has lately been published in our columns on the sub ject of the freights on butter from New Zealand to London. As the question is one of considerable impor tance, a Lost reporter interviewed the Acting-Secretary of the National Dairy Association of New Zealand (.Mr Francis Shaw) on the subject. Mr Shaw stated that in May last W Association entered into an agree ment with the New Zealand Shipping Company and the Shaw, Savill and Albion Company, for five years as from Ist October, 1902, in which the companies contracted to despatch a - "boat fortnightly for the carriage of dairy produce during the season. That in itself is a considerable im provement on the monthly service which your correspondent "Trans port " suggests the Government should subsidise. Previously, continued Mr Shaw, the freight on butter was 5-8 d per lb on the gross weight, with 10 per cent, primage and a rebate of 5 per cent, if paid in London. Under the new agreement the rate of freight is three farthings per lb in boxes and 13-16 d per lb in kegs, net weight, without primage if frieght paid in the colony, and plus 2 per cent, primage if paid in London. The shipping companies also pay coastal freight from grading ports to Wellington up to 10s per ton weight, the balance (if any) being paid by ship pers. The shipping companies also make the Association an allowance of H per cent, on the net freight on butter and cheese for the first three years, and 3 per cent, for the last two years, the first allowance to be paid in October, 1903. The Association will refund this allowance to the ship pers. Further, the Association has the first claim on the space provided for carriage of butter in the fortnightly steamers, and Wellington is to be the final port of call, unless for excep tional reasons, when Lyttelton will be substituted. Mr Shaw also drew at tention to another clause in the con tract, under which in the event of any reduction in freight on dairy pro duce or better allowances, terms, or conditions being made by the ship ping companies concerned, or by any other bona fide shipping company, during the currency of the agreement, a similar reduction or allowance is to be made to the Dairy Association. Your correspondent also says, con tinued Mr Shaw, that " no such rate of freights (417 per ton) rules in any other part of the world." Well, the freights on butter from New Zealand to London is exactly the same as from Melbourne to London, although Mel bourne is very much nearer, besides which, the shipping companies here under special warranty which makes the ship responsible' in the event of any injury being caused to the cargo. In fact, a representative of Dalgety and Co., who was over here recently, declared that the rates obtained by this Association were better than those ruling in Mel bourne. " Transport " also says that if the Tongariro was fully loaded with butter she would earn in one voyage more than one-half her value as a cargo-carrying steamer That may be so, said Mr Shaw, but if the dairy producers of the colony could till such a ship every fortnight there is not the slightest doubt that very much better terms could be arranged. Of course, if we could get enough cargo to warrant the ships calling at any other port than London it would be sent there, but it must be remembered that the quantity of cargo on a ship is cabled Home as soon as the vessel sails, and it is often sold in the Lon don market previous to the arrival of the vessel. Sales, added Mr Shaw, are made in London on the Govern ment grade notes of this colony, and not on the condition of the butter on its arrival. Finally, the following quotation, from the speech of the President (Mr J. G. Harkness) at the annual meeting of the Association, will be of interest: —" In my opinion the present con tract is a distinct advance on any previous one that has been made. The bill-of-lading under which our dairy produce will now go Home is similar to that under which frozen meat is carried. This was not so before. The bill-of-lading to-day is wider in scope, and we have a guaran tee that the produce will be carried in good condition. The freight will also in future be charged on the net weight The charge on butter is to be | peril), without primage, if paid in the colony! the shipping companies to make an allowance of 2.i per cent on the net freight for the first three years, and 5 per cent for the last two years. To a factory that is annually shipping ten ten thousand boxes of butter, this will mean a saving of at least £l2O. If the Association had done nothing else beyond arranging such a contract it would still have done sufficient to warrant the hearty co-operation and support of the factories. Although the executive fought hard to procure better terms in regard to the shipping of cheese, I regret we were unable to > procure any great concessions. The * difficulty is that the cheese cases are so irregular in size that in placing them in the steamers' coo! chambers there is a considerable loss of space, and the shipping agents have some times said that if they had an inch or two more in the cool chamber they could have put in a thousand more cases. The butter boxes, on the other hand, are all uniform in size and it is easy to ascertain the exact space that is required. Consequently the shid ning companies were prepared to make ■i reduction in the freight of butter, whereas they would not do so on cheese."

THAMES VALLEY GAZETTE, AND KAWHIA ADVOCATE. THE OLDEST DAILY NEWSPAPER IN THE WAIKATO. THURSDAY, DECEMBER 18, 1902. KAWHIA'S NEEDS. The urgent necessity for better, more regular, and cheaper communi cation between Kawhia and the rest of the Auckland province—"VVjakato especially—must have been forcibly borne home to all who havejwrefillly considered the tenor of correspondent's recent letters. "" Every mail brings us complaints of the un suitability of the present arrange ments. Something must be done in the matter, for it is decidedly unfair and unjust that the settlers in ,this fast-developing district should be shut off from the outside world in the manner that has obtained in the past. Kawhia has many natural ad vantages which require only a little rational development, and the expend iture of a certain amount of public money, in order to make the place one of the many centres of prosperity and progress which abound in the Colony, and which more than repay the primary cost of such advancement. Now that the Awaroa coalfield is to be exploited,—and there is good gi'ound for anticipating success—the necessity for a branch line of railway from the North Island Main Trunk line to Kawhia is more pro minently brought before us. But though the prospect of future work on the field stimulates the idea, it does not by any means constitute the solid basis for the construction of the rail way advocated. That idea rests on a much firmer foundation—the sound. uniform, but rapid general progress of the district. We have, already, in a former article, shown how the harbour of Kawhia is most conviently situated for intercolonial trade and will nol at present enlarge on that phase of the question. Mr Witheford, with a persistency worthy of all praise, has never lost an opportunity of urging upon the Government the desirability of opening up much larger blocks of these lands than have hitherto been placed on the market. To his advo cacy all interested in the welfare of the Colony will add their voice, but it is worse than a crime to put men on inaccessible blocks, or to deny those residing near the centre of popula tion good means of communication with the more important centres. The roads " over the ranges "' arc known throughout Waikato as being every thing that roads should not be, and the traveller contemplating an over land trip to Kawhia looks forward with dread to the ordeal before him. flood results have accrued from the past efforts of the Vigilance Com mittee, and we trust that the sue'ess achieved, though in no wise compatible to their deserts, will prove a stimulus which will spur the members on with increased confidence and redoubled energy. This question of communication is one on which the vital interests of the coastal township depend, an 1 no pains should be , spared in bringing pressure to bear on toe dovernment for the pf iihs. in iuguratio;i of impro\ emenfs, in i il' nand for wind) the settlers have n; their side justice and oquitv. LOCAL AND GENERAL The Editor of The Ltttelton Times. writing to the proprietors of The Waikato Timej, says:—" Your pape ■ has shown great improvement under your manage ment, and I have no doubt that it will im prove still further as time g >es on." It is extremely gratifying to merit praise from the Editor of what is admittedly the m >st powerful Liberal journal in the Colony, and the proprietors of The Waikato Trr.>, spurred 011 by the encouraging knowledge that their efforts are meeting approval, intend to spare no pains in the future for the still further improve ment of this most popular fanners' piper. An interesting article to those engaged in dairying, entitled ".Milking Tests at Shows," will be found on our i'oiuth page. According to geologists, West Austia ia has the richest iron deposits in the world. The chief mines are about 70 miles north of Cue. I 1 order to allow members who so desire to witness the cricket match at Auc'uaud on Saturday, the Hamilton Cricket Asso ciation has postponed the match Slades v. Arawas arranged for that day. A curious paragraph from a West Coast paper-.—"Our esteemed townsman, Mr antiquities, was married yesterday at St Anglican Church, to Miss , of Sydney, etc." The Auckland Board of Education has communicated with the Minister, suggest ing that provision should bo made by special grants for the erection of teachers' residences in country districts where no suitable accommodation can be obtained otherwise. Mr AY. J. Hunt >r commenced his annual sale of horses at the Hamilton yards this morning, when the unbroken stock was offered. Despite the threatening weather, there is a very large attendance of buyers, and good prices are being realised. The sale will be continued to-morrow at 8 o'clock. It is said that at a meeting held last week the hotelkeepers of Oamaru (says the Mail; came to a decision that if any of their number infringed the law in regard to selling on Sunday, or during illegal hours, or by suppplying intoxicated persons, he should pay a fine of ,£SO. The late Queen occasionally weut to the racecourse in her early and happier years and especially patronised Ascot. There is an amusing story, says M.A.P., of auinter view between her and a very tiny jcokey. She was so delighted with the pluck of the lad that she presented him with a £h\ note: and then she asked him his weight. " Please, ma'am." ho replied, amid the tit ters of the courtiers, " master says as how 1 must never tell my weight." At least four members of the new Parlia ment are compositors. Mr W. Jennings served his apprenticeship on the Southern Cross, and with Mitchell and Seffern, of Auckland. Mr Geo. Fisher is another who could put together a lot of type. Mr T. H. Davey, who for 14 years occupied a "frame" on the Lyttelton Times, and who for the past five years has been sportiug editor of the Canterbury Times, was an acknow ledged "whip.', Aud .Mr E. W. Allison, when an apprentice on the Xew Zealand Herald, was so quick and consistent, that many compositors thought he could set more type in a week than even Allen Wright, who possessed a colonial reputa tion, and maibt lined it when he went to America. At the meeting of the Auckland Educa tion Board held yesterday, the finance Committee reported that in pursuance of a recommendation made by Mr George, director of technical instruction, the fol lowing resolutions had been adopted: (1) That application be made to the Minister for grants to erect and furnish the neces sary buildings : (2) that, upon receipt of Minister's promise of such grants, action should be taken to engage from England, for a period of tw > years, thiee male in structors in woodwork, at a yearly salary of <£l7o each, and three female instructors in cookery at a yearly salary of £l-10 each, a sum of £33 for passage to Auckliud to be allowed each instructor so engaged.—The board agreed to the proposals. An incident which proves the advantage of training a compauy's employees to use a fire hose occurred on Sunday last at 2 p.m. at one of the Waihi (CM. Co.'s shafts. An incipient fire, which, with the fresh breeze then blowing, might have proved a dis astrous conflagration, was providently dis covered before it had got too strong a hold. In the short spa<:e of 3il seconds from the discovery the firemen in charge had run out and coupled with the hydrant 150 feet of hose, and had a go id stream of water playing up m the burning mass. But for this promptitude it is certain that a valu able stack of mining timber would have been destroyed. We understand it is the intention of the Company to suitably re cognise the'services of the firemen who rendered such timely assistance.—Waihi Daily Telegraph. Says the Lance -" A lady who lives within a stone's throw of Kelburne is of a saving turn of mind, and manages to combine her love of economy due regard for her husband's appearance, by turning his old top-hats into waste paper baskets. The other day she saw on the table a prehistoric hat, venerable with age. She seized it in triumph, and had just removed the brim, covered the body with light blue silk, and was finishing it off with a tasteful arrangement of Face and bows, when she was interrupted by the servant—" Please, Mrs M. the piano tuner says le can't find his bell-topper-, he left it on the hail table, he s lys." Ten minutes later that tuner left the house with a cap oa his head and a sivereigu in his pocket. Waste paper baskets are now scarce in that house." The bust Medieeie known is s VNTEI!

A wedding which occasioned much interest, was solemnised at St. Andrew's Church, Cambridge, yesterday, when Mr E. Firth, of Auckland, was united in the bonds of holy matrimony to Miss Blanche Banks, daughter of -Mrs Banks, of Gwynde lands, Cambridge, the Archdeacon Willis beiug the officiating clergyman. The bride, who was given away by her brother, Mr Neman Banks, wore a gown of white glace silk, covered with oriental lace ; she also wore a black picture hat. Her sister, Miss Banks, acted as bridesmaid, and was dressed in white tucked silk, with a stylish black toque. The bridegroom was sup ported by Mr P. Firth as best man. As the bridal party left the church, Mr Uartly played the wedding march. Amongst the guests were Dr. and Mrs Robeits, Miss Attfield, Mrs McLaughlin, Miss Buckland, Miss MeCaw, Mrs Mine, Miss Williams, Miss Brown, Miss Hill, Mr, Mrs and Miss Firth, Mrs Hanks and family.

The annual race meeting in connection with the above (Tub was held on the course, Te Awamutu, yesterday. The threatening nature of the weather, and seme, heavy showers falling between 11 aud 12 o'clock, were the means of interfering with the attendance, which was limited. The Club have always relied upon the gate to provide the major r.ortion of the revenue, but on this occasion the result has beeu rather disastious, and the members will,"no doubt, have a deticieucy to make up. The racing t,e e -ally was good, and those who biv.ved the elements were re warded in having a good day's sport, some of the events doing keenly contested. Tnere was a big crowd of fielders present, aud although the popular fancy won eu nearly every oc.a-i >n. the price laid was so low that punters did not p • tit much by being in the kuo-.v. 11l the Green Elill liaudic.p, a field of six facd the starter, aud Ml.

The quality of the competitors was of a poor class, Car bolic giving the fieli losses, soon over hauled them, aud going on practically lost them. So that the distance might not look too great, some of the others indulged in a gallop. The Kihikihi Plate was a splendid race, an excitiug finish being fought out between Arena, M teor ;ni Repetition, the former just being able to g ; home by about half a length. Lady Peex-d.-s was made a warm favourite for the Maiden Welter, aad landed, the stake for her back ers, but Mocassin swerved in the straight and liis rider did not seem to persevere with his mount as he "should have done, and S" was beaten by al.out half a length. Only two faced the starter in the Flying ■Makes. The excellent form shown l»y _ _ Zuleika in the Cup was sufficient to prove to a number of owners how useless it was to pit their horses against the mare, and heuee the wholesale slaughter. However, almost at the last moment Zuleika was scratched, and then it was that some unkind remarks were made by who had been a "bit previous" in scratching their steeds. It was generally though) that Zuleika'a owner sli mid have declared his intention early in the day, ns it would have been the means of making the tiual race of the meeting interesting." As it was, Xund, who was the favourite, easily won the stake from Heather Bell. The starting was exceptionally good. Mr A. H. Storey refusing to let his field go until they had " lined up, " besides which he exercised much more patience than is usually the case with gentlemen in that position. Mr J. H. Lyons, Hon. Sec. car ried out his duties in an able manner. Every thing whs in order, and the races were got oil in good time. The publican's bootli was presided over by Mr Welsh, of Kihikihi, and Mr Hall, To Awamutu, had the refreshmeat booths. The following are the results : Green Hill Handicap, of lOsovs, second horse to receive 2sovs from stakes. For horses that have never won a race exceeding £lO. Six furlongs. Mr T.

Serfdom was very re.-- tive at the post, but when the nag fell got away with the lead, closely followed by Mt. Zeehan. Heather Bell, Inspiration and Belle View were about two lengths away, while Evert occcupied a position about throe lengths in the rear, and although he made a forward move he could not get near the leaders, and whipped in all the way. The positions remained almost unaltered to the finish. Serfdom held the field safe from the jump. Mt. Zeehan was hardly ridden, but got no closer than a length at the finish, Heather Ball three lengths away third, the rest finishing together.

Only three faced the starcer. They got away together, Meteor taking the lead, and then gave way to the other pair, who raced together for the first miie. Meteor occupied a place about six lengths in the rear, taking the timbers splendidly. Starting for the second mile, Meteor came with a great rush and soon passed Pulling Billy and Guards van 11., and assumed a lead of about six lengths, and maintained this position until near the wiuning post, when Guards van 11., under tlie whip, came along and got within a length. Pulling Hilly swerved at the last hurdle, and finished some distance in th! rear. Te Awamutu Cur, of losovs. Distance, one mile and a distan-e. Mr M. S.

Kingsman had a bit the best of the start, and lead the field 'into the straight by about a length, Velos whipping in. The field maintained much the same position, with the excepti n that Arena and Zulieka closed up, and raced to gether with Kingsman and Xuma three lengths away, and Velos a further four lengths away. On entering the straight the favourite, Zuileka, came away, and won as he liked by ten lengths. Kings man was second, beating Arena by ahead for that position. Then came Velos, who made up a lot of around at the finish, Xuma being last, some distance away. Handicap Trot, of 6 sovs, second horse to receive lsov from stake. Distance 2 mile j . Mr H. E.

It comprises further provision for free secondary edu cation. Subject to certain regulations which have been drafted, the sum of £8 per annum will be paid to the governing body of any pub lic secondary school on account of each pnpil admitted without pay ment of fees. Before receiving the amount, the governing body of the school shall be required to provide, on such condi tions as may seem fit to it, and are ap proved by the Minister, one free place for each .£SO of its net income derived from endowments, including therein also, grants from School Commissioners and interests upon moneys derived from the sale of en dowments ; but no account shall be taken of any special endowments for scholarships and of scholarships grafted out of such en dowments. Further, the secondary school shall be required to admit to free places all pupils of good character who have obtained a certificate of proficiency (that is, a sixth standard certificate) are under fourteen years of age, and wish t<> atsend secondary schools. The socon '-iry scho )ls should give to each holder of a free place grantel under these regulations in struction in Arithmetic and E>-rlshofa standard higher than that re'inired fo; StawVd VI. of the pub'ic schools, syllabrs. The five schools are to b-> <.p n t. . Lovs and girls alike.

New regulations have been prepared under the Manual and Technical Instruc tion Act for junior and secondary technical scholarships. These will enable a payment of 3d, in addition to capitation, to be made to the controlling authority of classes under the Act, on account of each pupil admitted to suoh classes without payment of fees for each attendance at a class in any recog nised subject or manual or technical in struction, and a payment of 3d also for each attendance at recognised continuation class in certain subjects. A pupil must, before entering classes, have obtained a certificate of proficiency, as define 1 by the regulations under the Education Acts, 1877 to 1883. The term of a free place shall be two years, but payment may be continued for two years longer should the pupil satisfy such tests as may be required by the Inspector-Gene ral of Schools ; and the holder of the free place shall then become the hol'er of a secondary technical scholarship. Free railway tickets will be granted where necessary to holders of primary or secondary technical scholarships, ' HE VENEZUELAN TROUBLE. Latest iDablegfanis —_^.— PER UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATION— COPYRIGHT.] THE SINKING OF THE WORSHIPS. MR BALFOUR ON THE QUESTION. (Received Doc. 17, 9.7 a.m. LONDON, Dec. 16. A Reuter despatch announces that Etaly is now co-operating in the Vene zuelan blockade. The semi-official explanation published in Berlin al leges that the two vessels sunk were worthless, and so unseaworthy that it was impossible to tow them to Trini dad, and that it was inexpedient to let them drift. Sir Campbell-Bannerman elicited from Mr Balfour that the real crux of the question was the outrageous manner in which Venezuela repeatedly invaded the rights of British seamen and ship owners. Mr Balfour added that the the financial claims were not the main origin or justification of the action of the Government. It is announced that German's in stigation points to action, while Lord Lansdowne suggests the seizure of the gunboats at the outset in pursuance with the advice of Admiral Doug las. General Matos has declined to co operate with General Castro. The Venezuelan warship Miranda escaped the blockaders and the Ger man warship Panther is chasing her towards Maracaibo, threatening Mara caibo. DISCUSSION IN THE COM MONS. LONDON, December 16. Lord Lansdowne, Foreign Secre tary, stated that Castro's reply did not allude definitely to the ultimatum, but declared that directly internal peace was assured it would be unnecessary to remind Venezuela of her obliga tions. The Treasury meanwhile was empty. Since then Castro suggested through Colonial Hay that the Allies should submit to arbitration as a method of settling the claims arising from the insurrection. This was under Government con sideration. Mr Balfour stated that although the Allies were acting jointly each was responsible for its own measures ex clusively. Viscount Cranbourne,Under-Secre tary for Foreign Affairs, asserts that Germany explains the sinking of the two Venezuelan Vessels as an act of necessity. ROME, Deember 16. Signor Prinetti, the Foreign Minis ter, has informed the Chamber of De puties that Italy had not lost time in associating herself with the Allies. Italy's proposal to co-operate wa& favourably received. THE BLOCKADE. ENGLAND AND AMERICA. (Received Dec. 17, 8.42 p.m.) LONDON, Dec. 17. The commander of the Panther, on seizing the gun boats at La Guayra declared it was merely provisional in order to compel Venezuela to recog nise their just demands. He informed the landowners of the States that if the seizures proved ineffectual, fur ther coercion was doubtless inevit able. The Allies have blocked the ports, but it is not intended to land a Brit ish force, still less to occupy terri tory. Lord Cranbourne's remark, that no country was more desirous than Eng land to assist America to maintain the Monroe doctrine, was warmly cheered in the House of Commons, and welcomed and echoed throughout America.

THE PROPOSED BUILDING REGULATIONS. ♦- INDIGNATION MKLTIN'i. An indignation meeting of burgesses was held last eveuiug in St. Peter's schoolroom, for the purpose of protesting against the proposed clauses in the incoming bye-laws providing for the election in brick of new buildings in the main street, There was * an attendance of about 20, and on the mo tion of Mr Manning. Mr Hettley was voted to the chair. The chairman having explained the ob ject for which tho meeting had been called, Mr Young read the clauses relating to buildings. The purport of the clauses is that all new building- hereafter erected in au area within the distance of soft .if Vie toria and Tisdale-stro t-\ extending from the bridge to the raihviy station on the one side, and from the bridge to the Borough Chambers on the other, shall be erected in brick . utso that all hotels or .- boarding-houses in the borough shall in future be built or added to m hi iek. Mr Young thought the clauses were op pressive, and lie believed would be inimical to the best interests of tho borough. Every encouragement should be given to people who wished to start business in the borough. To compel a man to build iu brick would cause him to lake 33j!| per cent more of his capital for buildings than as necessary. No cue in a position to built iu brick would build in wood. Ho instanced the towns of Hawera, Wanganui, Stratford and Now Plymouth and the suburb of I'onsonby as having no such regulations as these, although they were much larger towns than Hamilton. Provided the build ings were safe to pedestrians and inmates the Council should encourage their erec tion even if in wood. The Council would be better employed in attending to sanitary affairs. They would be doing better work, for there was more danger of people dying of typiioid than of being burnt to death. Mr Howden then moved the following resolution: "That in the opinion of this meeting the proposed bylaws Nos. 43 and 44 are premature, and that the Council be requested not to confirm them." Mr Shepherd seconded the motion. Mr Manning pointed ont in reference to boarding-houses and hotels in the Borough —not in the area alone—that any additions must be in brick. The regulation might be suitable for London or Manchester, but to ask peQplo to build iu brick in a town like Hamilton was absurd. Although he was only a tenant he had indirectly to pay the rates, and he had more to do with this matter than those who were passing the mea sure, as most of them lived outside the area affected. On the question being raised a3 to the definition of a bonding house, Mr Young said it appeared that the clause applied to anyone who accommodated another and took payment for such accommodation. The chairman remarked that according to the regulations any person wishing to add a second storey to a wooden boarding house would be compelled to do so in brick The position was absurd, and he was sur prised at the members of the Council pas sing such a measure. Every credit was •""due to Messrs Parr and Young for their r stand in the matter. Mr Howden said there were no more stringent bye-laws in Auckland. Mr Chappeil stated that it would rest with tho Council to define a boarding house, and they could trust that body to use judgment. Mr Howden instanced '.he case of Bright's hotel as showing that it would not pay to erect brick buildings in Hamil ton. Mr Knox said the promotion of the m-eting had .not gone the right way about the business. They should have re quested the Mayor to call a meeting and have the matter properly thro hod out by councillors theusdves, He moved as an amendment " that this meeting request His Worship tho Mayor to call a public meeting at an early date re this matter." Mr Hardley seconded. Mr Manning opposed the amendment on the ground that as the holidays were so close, and the bye-laws were to be confirmed early in January, there was no time for delay _ r l ho chairman pointed out that if the regula ions was passed it would mean that the proposed municipal buildings would have to be erected in brick. In face of the large scheme, already on foot, this would prevent the erection of the buildings, as he was sure tho town could not carry a JBiOOO hall. After further desultory discussion the amendment was put and lost, only the mover and seconder voting for it. The motion was then carried, as was a vote of thanks to the chair. « —* Daisy Soap, Empire Royal Blue, and Em pire Extract Soap. Three good things for your laundry. Ask J. T.

The third contest between the Kawhia and the Oparau cricket team.-- took place here on Saturday last, and re-ult"d iu another victory for the Kawhia player* by ten rum on the first innings, the leo.il men making bl aui the visitors .M. For the winning team, CrOukes played a lucky soil of innings for is, while Young Stewart scored the same number by fine hard hit ting. In the bowling department, Crookes took six wickets clean bowled fm 2" runs. and Newton two for 22. tlie latter having very hard luck right throughout. I'or tie losers Singleton, of the l'irongia I'lub and a Waipa representative, played the inning.-, of the day in a ina.-terley manner for 2 ', when lie was clean bowled, by Crookes with a breakback. This player showed sound defence combined with very neat punishing power. During tho game, after noon tea and refreshments were provided for both teams by the Kawhia ladies under the supervision of Mrs Pearson, who deserves great credit for the excellent way in which she instituted and managed the whole business, which was much appre ciated by all concerned. Quite a largo number of spectators assembled to witivss the game, as it was generally supposed that Oparau, having raised such a strong com bination, would put down the local players, but the latter proved too strong upon this, as upon former occasions. Messrs Hamil ton and Floyd officiated as umpires, and gave every satisfaction to both teams. Oparau's new man, Parker, shaped well with the ball, hut had hard luck in being smartly run out by Jordain before he had scored. <>n both sides the utmost good-will prevailed throughout the game; Mr Crookes captained the local team and Mr Theo. Newton acted in the same capacity for tne visitors. The next contest between these two clubs takes place on New Year's I)ay at Kawhia, when another close game is anticipated. On .Saturday evening, in Mr G. ('. Fal wasser's office, a meeting of the Executive of the Regatta Committee was held, Mr F. C. Crookes in the chair, and a great amount of routine business was transacted. It was unanimously resolved to authorise Mr \Y. A. Mason, the general secretary, to collect subscriptions in town, to advertise the coming carnival, and to make the necessary arrangements with the N.S. Co. to run two steamers one from Onehunga, and one from Waitara, in order to suit visitors. It was also decided that Messr- Langley. Darcy Hamilton and Crookes constitute the reception committee. All matters in regard to the ensuing regatta are being vigorously attended to, and it is to be hoped our next annual carnival will prove a decided success. Quite a number of com petitors have writt n to the secretary, ex pressing their in'.ention to take part in the various events The tug-of-war event be tween team representing Kawhia and Oparau is sure to attiact as much attention locally as any other part of the very exten sive programme. About 2 a.m. en Sunday morning, the shop and stock of Mr Scott, our local saddler, was burned to the ground. At fiist it was feared that the owner was with in the burning building, but on further en quiry it was learned that he had left for Riglan some hours previously. Whether the building and coutents were insured is not quite clear, but a coroner's inquiry will be held in a few days, and matters connect ed therewith satisfactorily brought to light. We had another visit on Saturday morn ing from the s.s. Kani< \ which brought quite a large cargo. Matters connected wr u the opening of the new Awaroa coalfield are being vigor ously pushed ahead, and those in charge of the proceedings hop' very soon to have the business brought to a, satisfactory issue, which will mean a great deal in regard to the progress of this rising work. The Native School annual jconcert was held in the Kawhia public school on Fri day, when a packed audieneo greeted the performers. The programme presented was as follows:—Song, " Echo " Mr Hamil ton irecitation, " Three Mice" Make Pomii hare, Wei Tano ami H<Miri Erueti, three little mites of about six years whose per fect actions in their song elicited a, hearty encore: song, "The Link Divine" Miss Buckeridge, with violin obligato by Miss A. Hamilton; action song, " The Curly Headed Coon " by the school children, with dance; recitation, " The Story of an Apple," by little Master Walter Barclay, aged six and a-half years, whose gesticula tions fairly brought do:vn the house ; club and dumbell exercises by the schoolchild ren ; song, " I Fear No Foe "Mr Prentice ; recitation, 'The Twins" Misses Takiriki a,ud Kawi Vere. The two young ladies were taught by Miss A. Hamilton, and the piece was considered the event of the even ing. Comic recitation, " McCuinness " Mr Mann ; recitation, •' Mr Nobody " Misses Pare Hunigau, Kirimanu, Poriu and Kite Te Fii a : pianoforte solo, Miss Yells ; re citation, " The Owl and the Pussy Cat " by Wiri Tani and Tame Pouiu ; violin solo, Miss McMillan ; song, " Because I Love You " Mrs Crolly : chorus, ''The Fairies " schoolchildren ; song, " Asthore " Miss Hamilton, who sang as an encore " 1 Don't Know Why I Love You, Put I Do : recita tion by Neha Te Uira, Hone Pouwliare, Toatara ; Mr Lundon gained a double en core for his comic song ; violin duet, Miss Auta Hamilton and Mr Hey wood Arm strong ;God Save the King, in Maori and English by the schoolchildren. Mr Hamilton mentioned that the mate rial he had to work on was mostly children from 0 years to i) years old, and he had to supply dinner to those who could not afford to bring lunch to school. However, he considered that the proceeds of the concert would enable him to carry on for three months at least. The promoters of the concert have to thank the performers and accompanists for tho valuable assistance so cheerfully ren dered, both at the concert and at the dance which followed. During the dance Mr Hamilton pre sented Mr J. Watts, who is leaving the district, with a handsome gladstone bag as token of respect and appreciation of his great help as musician at dances and other entertainments, and expressed the com pany's good w ; shes for his future in his new sp. ere.

MILKING TESTS AT SHOWS The value of milking tests at agri cultural shows will be generally con ceeded. Their object is to contribute evidence as to the urgent need for con tinually improving the dairy stock, and to show the need for devoting the keenest attention to the development of milk strains and the elaboration of useful points in feeding and dairy management, jn order that the dairy fanner's remunera ion niav re spond in a proportionate ratio to his skill and carefulness in culling and breeding. All this, however, involves the indispensable condition that the tests must be effectively carried out. The question is, are they so carried out at the shows under the existing state of affairs? The reply is de cidedly unfavourable. First, as to the cause ; and here we have an ex ample submitted by a contributor of The Leader as to what took place at one of the shows where he acted as the testing judge. "On visiting the ground at 8.15 a.m.," he reports, "the milking bails were found located in the midst of pens and yards for the various sections of show cattle, pigs, and sheep. Here were two of the competing cows already bailed up in the open. Immediately in front of, the imprisoned animals, a horseman, with stock-whip and yelping dog, dashed backwards and forwards, often within a few feet of the cows, hurry ing the various exhibits into their respective pens. Bullocks, steers, bulls, cows, pigs and sheep in all con ditions of excitement and flurry of. affrighted animals, were driven in close proximity to the competing cows. The competition started at 9.15 a.m. Neither of these cows gave the quantity they did at home, and nothing like the test.'' As to the remedy, it is recognised by all competent judges that the best means of obtaining true and reliable milk and butter tests is to have the cows milked at their own homes, ac cording to the method introduced by the Port Fairy Agricultural Society, and already several of the up-country societies adopt the practice of obtain ing, by means of visiting steward*, in advance of the show, the specified quantity of the test samples, from the animals milked on the farm of the competing owner and sealed for trans mission to the testing expert. In this way the very best that each animal u capable of can lie fairly determined, and the test, under such conditions, are, as they ought to be, reliable and instructive. Next in merit to that method would be an amendment in the existing sys tem of show ground testing. If not as complete as the home milking plan still greatly improved results can he obtained from cows milking in a show yards at G a.m., when the ordinary milling time is due. No strangers are then about, and everything is quiet. The benefit arising even from this manner of conducting milking competitions suggests the direction in which an improvement can be secured of making milking competitions more instructive. Show regulations should he so framed to as nearly as possible cause the surroundings at the place of competition to approximate those the cows are accustomed to. The regu lar periods of milking should not be interfered with. Every act of the milker should lie strictly devoted to wards encouraging the animal to give her sole attention and nerve force to secreting milk. Further, all competi tion should be held one or two days prior to the show, and not less than four milkings should be adopted, be cause that is more satisfactory than the prevailing rule of taking the re turns from one or two milkings. The judge selected to do the testing should have sole control of the competition, supported by one or two local stew ards, to carry out the details under his directions, and the tester should he responsible for the due performance of every operation. Upon another aspect of this ques tion a dairy farmer, in a letter written to us from Caniperdown, says:—"l take the liberty of asking you to urge upon the ■ managing coinmitties of agricultural shows the importance of having a proper record taken of each cow's milk in the butter test. The mere publishing of the pounds of butter each cow made during the test is little or no information to dairy far,iters. If allowed to make a sug gestion, ] would say the following details shouhl be carried out, viz,— the number of days each c-w has been in milk, or the date she calved ; weight of milk and also quantity of milk given by each cow. each cow's test, pounds of butter make by each cow, and her breed. If this informa tion were given the butter tests would be what they are not at present, in structive and interesting to dairy farmers.'" In connection with this matter an interesting fact is that at the recent P.ritish dairy farmers'show, at Islington, these very details were carried out. As a matter of fact there is no dairy exhibition in Eng land or America of any importance that does not carefully obtain and publish all these points at their test ing competition. There is a great need for reform in this connection among the majority of the agricultural shows in Victoria, where the milk ing tests should be of leading im portance, but as at present conducted tire next to being quite useless.— Melbourne Leader.

Indigestion means a variety of things—it shows iteelf in many ways. At first, perhaps, a little heaviness in the stomach, a little sourness, windy bclehings, and heartburn. Headaches begin to come pretty soon after that, and biliousness and a foul taste in the mouth in the morning. Chronic constipation is almost inevitable, and it is probably the most serious trouble that ever takes hold of a man. Its teaming timplicity is the thing that makes it most dangerous, because it ieads to neglect. Constipation means that the body is holding poisonous, impure matter, that should ho gotten rid of. Tiie poison is being re absorbed into tho blood, and the whole body if being tilled with it. Impurity in the blood may lend to almost any disease. There is no telling what may come of it. And yet people arc careless about it. It is the most serious thing in the world, and tho •asiest to cure if you go about it right. Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills cure Constipa tion. Cure it positively, certainly, infal libly. Cure it so it stays cured. Cure it so you can stop taking medicine. And that is something that no other remedy in the worh! will do.

The votes for con tinuance of existing licenses were increased by twelve, the vote for reduction reduced by 7<> and for nodicense by two. It will thus be seen that the temperance party lost thirty votes by the re-count. At the W.C.T.U. meeting, held at the Cambridge Mission Hall on Tuesday, Kith, it was resolved that the next meeting be held on Tuesday, Pith January, 1003, thus dispensing with the Cambridge West fort nightly meeting on account of the holidays. In the interval the members will devote their efforts to arranging the Band of Hope work at Cambridge AVest. The thanks of the Union were recorded for a parcel of literature from Air Thorne. Again it is our disagreeable task of re marking on the unmannerly conduct of those who assemble at the back of the Volunteer Hall whenever a concert is given. It is extremely unfair to the performers, and very disagreeable to the audience, to have the programme spoilt by the unceas ing chatter of young people who go to these entertainments, not to appreciate the items, but in order to pass an evening in social intercourse. Surely something cau be done to prevent a recurrence of this un seemly beha-viour. At the Arbitration Court on Wednesday afternoon Mi Justice Cooper resented a re mark of an employer that the price of bread had been raised by the action of the Arbitration Court. He asserted that the increased price of bread was due to the increased cost of Hour, which had gone up 7o per cent during the past two years. The Arbitration Court had no power to prevent the corners in wheat or Hie formation of the flour trusts. His Honor said lie was bound sometimes to look after tho r.cmo tion of the Arbitration C >urt, when saddle 1 with the increased c >sfc of living, for which they were not responsible. Petitiou; t ' upset tho local option polls have bvi lodged in several electorates, and will be heard within the next few weeks. A telegram from Dunedin says: Quite a bombshell has been cast into the camp of " trade" by the publication of the following letter from Mr ,T.

The world may be a small place after all, but when a man sets out to circumscribe it twice on a bicycle it proves a very fair sized stage, and its actors fairly numerous. The young journalist, \V. Schwiegerhausen, who is attempting this teat, anl has al ready accomplished a large pirt, for one will return to his home with the ideithat Mother Earth is not quite so small as .-.he is painted. He left Leipzig, in Saxo.iy, on March 10th, I!H.)and has cycled through Europe, Xortn Africa, Asia, and Australia, and the South Island of New Zealand. In company with an eider journalistic companion, by name F. (ius tave Kegel, who was subsequently killed by Khurds e.i route to Teheran, the Persian capital, ho commenced his most eventful, in teresting, yet perilous journey, in which feat all in New Zealand and elsewhere will wish him every success. He has tra velled through Germany, France, Swit zerland. Austria, Hungary, Servia, .Bul garia, Turkey, Asia Min <•% Syria, Palestine, Egypt, Arabia, Kurdistan, Persia, India, ( (!) 1 >n and the Australian Colonies, vot ing his impressions for several German newspapers as he went along. In his mirvelous journey up to the present through foreign lands h ■ has covered some 36,'XK) miles of the roughest Country i im aginable, in which some miraculous escapes have fallen to his iot. Herr Schwiegerhausen has documentary proof of his varied travel in the shape of the autographs of the Mayors or other chief officials of the various towns he has v'sited, the whole covering some different languages. Among the collection are the autographs of Lords Tennyson and Kanfurly. The X.Z. tour started at the Bluff, and the much-travelled visitor "did'' the lakes of Central Otago, and the beau tiful West Coast scenery. In the Xorth Island, after leaving Wellington, the route taken was through Wanganui and the Taranaki district to I aupo, thence to K 'tenia. After visiting and taking photographs of the principal sights, the cyclist came to Hamil ton, via, Cambridge, arriving here about p.m. yesterday. He left for Auckland at II a.m. this morning. In a few weeks, a visit will be paid 10 Thames and Waihr, and on the way, it is probable that a lecture on his travels will be given in Hamilton. After leaving Xew Zealand, the cyclist goes to South America. Questioned as to his impression of Xewf Zealand, Ilerr Schwiegerhausen expressed admiration for the beautiful scenery to be met with, especially that of Rotorua, which he said could not be equalled in auy other part of the woild. The climate was splen did, and there were none of those long wearisome sketches of desert mat with in other countries, and in most cases tho roads were in very i, r ood order, In fact, Herr Schwiegerhausen said he was sorry his stay could not be prolonged. It may be interesting to note that Herr Schwiegerhausen rides a Massey-Harris bicycle. INTERPROVINCIAL. (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) HOTEL CUSTOMER FINED. THE TANIUNI. AUCKLAND, This Day.

Mr Balfour in the House of Commons, said in the event of the Venezuelan ;blockade, the British and German Heets will act with one object, but not as one force. The Govern ment regret the necessity, and as to neutrals he personally shared in the United States' view that there can not be such a thing as a Pacfic blockade inasmuch as a blockade in volves a state of war. He added, the operation was undertaken to recover debts, but most reluctantly after a long and patient delay, because the Venezuelan Government assaulted Britishers and seized British ships.

" To discontinue advertising," savs John \Y;iri:miak"r, the millionaire, "is !ik■.• taking down your sign. if you want to do business you must let the peop]p know it.

The popularity in which the publie of Hamilton held the annual given by the pupils of St. Mary's Convent scho -I was evidenced Inst night w -n a crowded house rewarded the efforts of the performers. To say that the progiamme presented bore the impiess of that thoro ughness so eharaetcrised -■!' '.he Sisters i to soun«l the highest of praisi-, and we can only add that those alone have any pro portionate idea of the months of patient tiaining involved, who have ever taken in hand the training of the "young idea.'' The programme was op nted by a instru mental duet in which Madame L- F.ievre and Mi.-s Missen (violins;: Mr Meacheni (Double BassJ and Mis-t-s Fair weather, Floyd and Buxton took part. Then fol lowed tlii- action song, " I don't Want to I'lay in Your Yard," capitally rendered by the junior pupils, the parts of the two little i|tiarrcllers being performed in a manner which el icited rounds of applause. An in strumental quartette was then given by Madame Le Lievre, blisses Fairweather, Buxton, Gallagher and Miss'-n (violinsi. Miss Prendagust (piano), Mr Meachem (double bass), and Mr King (cornet). The amusing dialogue, "The Troubles of a Photographer," lay Messrs Y. Coyle, Roach aud W. (,'larkin, was provocative of much laughter. Another action song •' Yacht ing," by the pupils, was one of the gems of the evening. This was followed by a. very pretty flower song, in which four troops of little girls took the respective parts of England, Ireland, Scotland and .New Zea land, each bearing the emblems of their country, "the Rose, the Shamrock, the Thistle and the Fern." The popular vio liuist, Madame Le Lievre, was greeted with applause 011 her appearance to give a violin solo, and her playing showed that she has lost none of her beauti ful art since last heard. Her Complete mastery over the instrument was a pleasure to listen to, and judging by the marks of approval which the audience gave, everyone appreciated the treat pro vided. These remarks apply also to Madame's contribution in the second part. Previous to the com mencement of the concert, it had been announced by Mr J. A. Young that the Sisters particularly requested that no encores be given, but that they were will ing to make an exception in the case of the Cachucha Dance. It is just a- well the Sisters bowed to th • inevitable, for no restriction would 1 ave prevented the audi ence from encoring such a beautiful dance as that given in this item. C ,-rtaiuly it wis the best item 011 the programme, the intricate figures all being performed with a regularity and grace which reflects great credit on both teachers and pupils. The second pait of the programme was opened by an instrumental duet between Madame Le I ;ievre and Miss Missen (violin), Misses Fairweather anil Ilolloway (piano and Mr Meachem (double bass;. The drama, the "little Gipsy Girl" in which. Misses ('. Ilolloway, Amy Hill, K. Knight, Hilda Floyd, May Bettley and Myitle Fairweather, took part, was well re- Cei ved, and showed signs of latent histrionic talent. Mr West had to respond to an emphatic encore for his hornpipe. An amusing dialogue, " Taking the Census" c included the concert, for which the pro moters deserve all credit. During the interval Father Darby pre sented the certificates gained by th" senior pupils at the Convent School, and also those gained at the recent musical examinations. The successful pupils were : Standard VI. Misses Maxie Ward, Flossie Hooper, Lizzie Henderson, and Master M. Stapleton. Music : Senior grade, honours section, Miss Violet Fitzpatrick ; Senior Pass : Misses Edith I'rendergast, Clara Hollowav, Violet Fitzpatrick, Myrtle Fairweather, M. Cros by, and Maggie Clark : Intermediate : Miss Constance Knight; Junior, Honours: Misses Hilda Floyd, Muriel Chitty, Rota Coyle and Kathcrine Buxton; Junior Pass: .Miss Irene O'Brien, who performed the very creditable feat of gaining the maxim tun number of marks.

B. HILL. L'aglau, Dec. 17th, I'AO-. POLICE COURT, TE AWAMUTU. Before Mr 11. W. Northcroft, S.M. The following further sly-grog selling cases were dealt with on Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday : Isaac, an Assyrian trader at Otorohanga, was charged on two informations with selling whisky to Stanley Mack 011 27th November, and with selling whisky to Thurston Walters. Defendant, who pleaded not guilty, was represented by Mr Swar brick. The defendant stated that the liquor was a gift; that the informants had bought goods from him and lie therefore treated them, aud his statement was t ■ some extent corroborated by a witness named Larson. The Bench, however, was not satisfied with the evidence for the de fence an'l couvicted defendant on both charges ; on the first charge the line was £ls, and costs £1 I Is 3d, and on the second JJUi and no costs. Joseph Powell was charged with nine offences for selling without being the holder of a licence. Defendant pleaded guilty and on the Ist charge was fined =£lo and costs £2 I :is Od, 2nd charge XlO and 7s cost. <ln the remaining charges the defendant was convicted without flue or costs. John Ephriam Cooper was charged 011 three informations with sellling liqour, and on one information with being the occupier ofreertnin premises at Te h'uiti, in respect of which a licen-" had not been- granted unde' 1 the Licensing Act and consenting to the sale of liquor 011 such unlicensed pre mises. The defendant pleaded guilty to all the charges aud was convicted and fined -CI•"> and costs ">s Hd .>u the Ist charge, £\() and costs 7s on the second charge. <>n the remaining charges the defendant was Cinvicfed without line or C"St a . Willaim Joseph Walsh was charged on one information with selling liquor to Thurston Walters. The defendant pleaded guilty but staied that he had had no inter est in the sale and had merely handed out the liquor and received payment at the re quest. of another defend inf, who admitted this fact. The magistrate took this circum stance into consideration and tinea the de fendant £'> and costs£l Is Hd, in default 14 days hard labour in Auckland prison. E. Hemphill was charged 011 three infor mations with selling liquor, not being a person licensed to sell. Defendant pleaded not guilty, and v/as represented by Mr Franklin. The defence was that the two informants Mack and Watters were invited by Mclnhre to have a drink, defendant be ing al.-o present. Mcfntyre asked defen dant to hand out the whisky which he did. Money was tendered in payment but Mc- Intyre refused to accept payment. The cases were dismissed. David Cameron Mclntvre was charged on foul-informations with being the occupier of certain premises situate at Te Kuiti in respect of which a license had not been granted under The Licensing Act and con senting to the sale of liquor upon such pre mises. Defendant pleaded guilty and was convicted 011 each charge aud the cases or dered to stand do" n. When the defendant was called he did not appear and the cases were adjourned until Thursday morning to give him an opportunity to do so. Robert Webby was charged on one in formation with selling whisky to Stanley Mack iit Miroa Hinauon Ist December last. Defendant pleaded not guilty and was de fended by Mr Franklin. The defence was that whisky had been given to Mack as a visitor, and that no money had passed in payment. In the absence of sufficient corroboration of Mack's evidence the case was dismissed. Percy Webby was charged with using obscene language in a public place at Te Awamutu on ltjth December, 1*.<02. The defendant was a son of one of the defen dants in the liquor cases and during the evening he had met Mack and Walters, the enterprising gentlemen who had acted as detectives in the liquor cases. The defen dant naturally resented the actions of the detectives and his language was painfal and frequent and free. The Bench ad monished him on his conduct and lined him £ t aud costs 7s, in default 11 days hard labour. COWARDLY ASSAULT. Another cowardly attack on a yollu u' woman has been reported to the Auckland |i" lie the offence being committed at Ihu m itao, tie- r Mnngere. As i« ne was returning t'ro:n her parent-' house to Mr Henwood's where she is in s -rviet.', a man on horseback overtook her on a lonely part or' the road. Hi- accosted her, and noon Miss Rouse answering his questions, dis mounted and put his arm round h.-r waist. I'pon the young lady resenting to such t'r"edoin, her tormentor lifted her off the ground and threw her down, threatening to shoot h.-r if she -creamed. The j>irl starte'l screaming, and on hearing someone coming along the road the cowardly assail ant decamped, first giving Miss Rouse a brutal blow on the month, which prevented In r from rising and informing the second horseman. As soon a- she was sufficientH* recovered. Miss Rouse went Inane, when it was found that her face was lacerate-1 and bleeding, and some of her front teeth kn 'eked out. The affair has been reported to the police, and as Miss Uou.se says she ean identify her assailant, it is to be hoped that ere long he will be brought to book, and given his deserts for such an unpro voked and brutal outrage.

Rich and pure? Or thiu aud impure? I'uro blood makes the skin clear, smooth, lioalthy. Impure blood covers the skin with pimples, sores, boils, eczema, eruptions, tetter, salt-rheum. Mr. Frank Hewett, of Kalpoorlie, W. A., sonds his photograph and tells what cured him. " When a boy my skin broke out in bad sores about my hands. After trying a great many remedies in vain, I took Ayer's Rarsaparilla and was quickly cured. Recently I was troubled again with severe boils, but one bot tle of the same old remedy completely cured me. It's the greatest blood-purifying medi cine in the world."

JEFFRIES, Postmaster, Cambridge. COMMERCIAL HAMILTON SPECIAL HORSE SALE. Mr W. J. Hunter's special sale of horses was held on Thursday and Friday, when upwards of 300 horses were submitted to public competition, amongst them being some splendid animals of all classes. There was a good number of buyers, but the bidding was slew, and prices low, com pared to those ruling at jthe sales held earlier in the year. Sellers had evidently based their values on the prices obtained at that time, with the result that a great number of horses were passed in, not having reached their owneis'values. The top price for draughts was reached for a very fine animal of Mr W. (iraham's, for which Mr H. Windsor paid £l3. A pair of pie-bald ponies of Mr Rowland? sold for £H each. Mr Shakespear, of Te Kau-a- Moa, offered a fine pair of black geldings, but they failed to reach their owner's price. Among the hacks were some beau tiful specimens, one by Merrymaker reach ing the satisfactory price of JBi S ; another good horse found a buyer in Mr Penniket at XII 10s' Among the harness horses were some real go-id ones, and for these good prices wen'paid, some reaching to £32 10s. Theyouog stuck was nol conspicuous for quality. Mr Chitty offered 3 3-year-olds by a horse well-known at lluntiy (Black Tom) which should developo into good useful horses. A few mares with foals wen: submitted, but there was nothing of sp >cial character among them. The sale was not as lively as some held recently, and at the hist day bidding dragged a great deal, and offers could not be obtained for some of real good quality, buyers evidently being i well supplied. Prices ranged as under: Draughts, £7 ss. £S 15s, £l2 10s, £ll 17s ; J21.-., £■>■!■ Ids, £2B, .£32 ss. £32 10s, J6l-3. !

THE OLDEST DAILY NEWSPAPER IN THE WAIKATO. SATURDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1902. GRADING OF BUTTER. Accoubixt; to Mr C. R. Beat-tie, Secretary of the National Dairy Asso ciation, who has just returned from a visit to England, New Zealand butter has nothing to fear from foreign coin petition in the London market whilst it retains its present grade. As re gards Siberian butter, which is now being sent into Eondon in enormous quantities, Mr Beattie says it is al most wholly used to meet the demand for butter at Is per lb, and its price is about lbs per cwt less than that of the average quality of New Zealand butter. Although Mr Beat tie found New Zealand cheese was well spoken of by dealers, he considered that the indifferent packing was res ponsible for the rather low price rul ing for this product. "When a gentle man holding the position in our dairy export trade that Air Beattie holds, has such an optimistic view of the future of the trade, our dairy farmers have indeed good cause for self-congratulation. There is not the slightest shadow of a doubt that during the past few years the dairy industry in Xew Zea land has so greatly developed that at present it is one of the principal mainstays of the colony. That this is so, is due in a large measure to the careful inspection and grading carried on under the supervision of the Government graders. Apart from the actual commercial value of the grade, the system has had a most beneficial effect on the producers themselves, for it naturally follows that when a butter-maker has the knowledge that his produce is either improving or deteriorating, he is spurred on with increased hopeful ness or redoubled carefulness. In his last annual report, Mr Kinsella, Dairy Commissioner, states that the Department has been considering the advisability of raising the pointing standard for creamery butter to 90 points. He says " this would not necessarily mean a tighten ing up of our present system of judg ing, or, in other words, would not interfere with a correct decision being arrived at between first and second quality butter before the pointing takes place. The object would be more in the direction of having a higher standard of pointing, which latter, correctly speaking, really only denotes the different characteris tics of the quality after the decision, according to judgment, has been passed. As the quality of our produce improves each year, a higher standard of pointing would tend to encourage factory-managers to aim in the direction of continuing the im provement in quality.'' This strikes the keynote of the whole business— improvement in quality—for if our butter once obtains the name of being a good reliable ar'cicle, and maintains that reputation, our producers and ex porters have cause to fear no foe. Of course nothing should be done which will discourage butler makers, but the raising of the standard for first quality should, we consider, meet with the approval of all concerned. Many worthy colonists ridicule the idea of Government supervision of our export trade, claiming that surely the producers can look after their own interests, but it must be borne in mind by such cavillers that the Government officials have iuforuia linn and appliances at their disposal wlii'-li it is :;l:s,,litio!y iiiipussiltle for any private individual to obtain, and they are therefore placed in a posi tion to foster and develop iiie industry to its utmost eapacil v. Certainly, in their efforts In aid the dairy interests, th • pi'e' 'nf (foverninenl have not l:io-oe,| |><'hinrl, and their efforts have met with a derive of success which v:c feel ' confident the farmers of Waikato fully appreciate. LOCAL AND GENERAL Saturday, the :.'7th inst., is declared a special Hank holiday. Davis and Co. hold a special Christmas sale ou Monday next.

Speaking at Mr Hogg's banquet the Premier said he was not sure that all the revenue from education endowments should be devoted to the purposes of secondary education, and the cost of primary education at home by the consoli dated revenue. He thought the colony was behind in secondary education, par ticularly in the university education. SCHOOL CONCERT. A very successful school concert was given in the Oddfellows' H ill, Ca nbridge, on Thursday, by the scholars attending the district school, the building being packed to its utmost capacity. It is pleasing to note that while the ordinary school work has received such faithful attention, time has been found to work up a capital enter tainment, that given last evening mee'- ing with such high appreciation. The teachers are to be congratu lated upon the srosess of their etforts, The overture was provided by Mhs M. I'ilcher and Master B. Robert, who p'ayed iemarkably well. A stage lull of infants prettily dressed then gave a recitation. •Sergeant Munro's squa*! gave an ex hibition of physical drill with anus, !,ut it was rendered less cite; five by the absen se of proper time in the movements. Stand ards I. and 11. sang the well-known'* Tin Gee Uee." A very pretty fin drill by the junior girls was enthusiastically encored. Miss A. Boycegave a very good performance of a violin solo, the infants following with an action song. Mr Brown, of the High School, brought down the house with a comic recitation, having to respond with a second number of a pathetic turn. A camp scene by the cadets concluded the first part. The second part opened with a coon song by Standards 1 and 11. Miss M. Roberts showed talent by her playing of a violin solo. Ten boys took part in the conic sketch " Ten Little Niggers," much merriment being occasioned, and a recall bting demanded. A bayonet exercise by Captain Richardon's squad was exceed ing good, and oalled forth much favourable comment. A number of girls followed, prettily dressed in Japanese costume, and sang nicely together. The elder girls then went through some dumb bell drill very creditably. Standard 111. sang " The Snow Man," being followed by the humor ous character sketch, " Three Old Maids of Lea," which elicited much laughter. The scene" liood Night " and the National An them brought the entertainment to a close. Mrs Lowe played moat 0/ the accompani ments, NEW ZEALAND DAIRY EXPORTS - <*> (Bv Tclwiph.—Pros As?s<*ial'o:o WilL!\'.r"N, Vesterduy.' Mr Heat lie, secretary of the National l>aiiy Ass. ciai ion who lias just relumed from :i visit to England, states that he found the merchants of the United King dom well pleaded wit', the quality of New Zealand produce. A great competitor with New Zealand butter wm- Siberia, whence, al most unlimited quantities poured into Great Britain every week in the year. This article, however, was not to be compared with the N'i'iv Zealand ;i/ .duo'.aad its whole sale price was about i'V; per C ivt less than that of the average \"ew Zealand butter. Mr Beatlie found tradesmen nearly all familiar with New Zealand brands cf butter, and from his investigations he con vinced himself that New Zealand butter would have an ab.s dntcly uulimited niarkft in Great Britain for years to come, provided the present ijunlity is maintained. New Zealand had now established a place in the top market, and ho believed she would a'ways keep it. There was practically the whole of the Midland counties vet to be exploited by Xew Zealand" dairy produce. All the butter dealers agreed that the general quality of New Zealand butter was even of higher grade than that got from Australia, and this ra ther discounted the fact that importers could not rely with Certainty on the arrival of shipments from New Zealand. The sale of frozen meat from New Zealand was simi larly handicapped, though dealers would much sooner stock it if it were more regu larly supplied. There was a lot of room for improvement in the handling of stock in the London docks, but this defect was not the fault of the shipping companies. The great cheese pro blem was referred to less optim istically by Mr Beattie, nevertheless he was convinced that there is a better market awaiting this industry when it has pro gressed a little on the broad real toward improvement. The Xew Zealand article itself is well spoken of in the large centres at Home, though arranoemants were de fective. Cheese of specially good quality commanded fancy prices. A deterrent to success in the market was that the packing of cheese was not so well attended to aa butter, and the timber used in making cheese cases too slight; altogether the re° suit was that the manufactured article suffered. CAMBRIDGE DISTRICT SCHOOL PRESENTATION OF PRIZES, A pleasant function took piace at the Cambridge School grounds yesterday, tak ing the form of the teachers "At Home/' presentation of prizes to children, and nru furling the nag.

The fall in prices, however, is i'nly temporary, and they are sure to go up again. Consignments of both old and new Victorian onions, in bad order have glutted the market and spoiled the values of the new local crop. Ship meats of fruit from all parts have been ho.ivy, and all dessert varieties sold at high rates, hut cooking fruits were dull. Pananas realised high prices. Poultry was in heavy supply, and birds in good condition sold at high rates, while poor and old birds were low iu value.

Messrs Arthur Tooman and Co. auction ei-rs, Auckland, report as follows The markets generally have been well, and in some instances, over supplied this week, the most noticeable changes being the serious drop in the price of potatoes, an 1 a considerable fall in the. value of goose berries. Creen and inferior potatoes were sent forward iu large quantities, and the Southern demand having suddenly fallen oil, there was but little outlet. The con signments were so heavy th it all lots c mid not be cleared on Friday, not even at t'o per ton, although the market stands at somewhere like £7 Ids. Vegetables were scarcer, and sold at higher prices. Poul try, wish the exception of liens, realised high prices. Voting pigs also brought ex treme prices, and bacon and hams were remarkably scarce. Cheese reached b p values. Fruit has been shipp-d heavily from the Islands, and moderate consign ments from Sydney, the former selling well, and the latter at heavy loss to the shippers. In local fruits, there has been very little otii-ide gooseberries. The first consign ment ' 1 cherry plums from Whangarei realised fancy prices, and grapes were sent iu from Otahuhu, for tile first time this - ea-i ill. \Y«. quote a- follows : —Potatoes l\j to £'o, average =£7 IDs.

Vsi-.wkk in its prii'.iarv ligiif, tlic Yenezue!;ui eiuiirogiiu is a verv in sig'iliiieaill Jill'.lir. ill!': (»!!!• wllicil Iliac iic-ccrtiu-'lcss exert a powerful influ ence on the internalional relaiionsliit) of tlieia- of the most powerful countries in the world. In the lirst place it has demonstrated that the I'nited States has a suliicient faith in the in tegrity of (ireat Jlritiiin to allow her a free hand in the settlement of the dispute, despite the most stringent clauses of the Alunroe lkictrine. The other day a cable, significant in its pithy summary of the temper of our Anglo-Saxon cousins, told ns that public opinion in the United States laid the responsibility for the punitive charac ter of the reprisals at the door of the Germans. This, after the tierce execrations which have filled the columns of the violently anti-British European press, is a. complete refuta tion of the slanders concerning un necessary sever.ls.' and cruelty during the recent l>oer War. The know ledge that the powerful Americans are at one with the Britishers, and sympathise with their national aims and characteristics, is sure to have a modifying and sobering ell'oct on Ger man policy, for the most bitter of our Continental enemies would not dare, nay, could not alone light against England and America, or even England, with America's moral and inactive support. But on the other hand, America litis perhaps acted in this way because she knows that any undue interference with the course of events inav involve her m undesirable complications. I he claims are based on fair principles of compensation, and bear with them no question of international aggression or'coerciou : there in no question of acquisition of territory invoiced, and consequentlv no application of the Munroe Doctrine. Fin., combined with t iic fact that she has to fit I lil no treaty obligations with \ enozuela, may in a great degree ac count for the attitude of the Great Republic. 1 he immediate causes of t he 1 rouble date baek ;o I IJdtl. Jn the northern portions of South Anier e-n. bord-Ting on the dull of Mexico arc the two republics "f Colombia and Ycne/.tieia : republics where "inignf is right and the possession of the most superior armed force means the assumption of the reins of olliec until the cycle of fate has reversed the position. I nder the influence of foreign intercourse and the consequent broader insight into the possibilities and responsibilities of Government, the "Commercial" partv, as it mav be called, in Colombia, have durin:.'' the past four years been endeavouring to make headwav agamd the military adventurers who have hitherto crippled die couutrv. and to make possible ihe establish ment ol orderly government. Natur ally the partisans of the old order of things resented this interference with their ancient right* and liberties, and tin ir resentment took the most con venient toriii that of armed strife The y were reinforced by large parties from over the Yeuezuela borders, and the revolution being put down, the malcontents were pursued into the neighbouring State, where the 'Jolomhian ami Venezuelan troops met: in battle. The inter-State dis pute was patched up, hut the inci- Ifiit had fanned into llame the smoul lering (ins (.it chronic revolt and anarchy in Venezuela. Attempts were made to overthrow President Castro, a must violent anti-foreigner, and the outcome was that the foreign population in the Republic sull'ered •i'-vrre penalties and underwent gross indignities at the hands of the. domi nant party. Claims for com pensation were entered bv l]n u;- umd, Germany, France, Jtalv and Bel gium, and it is to enforce . lif due satisfaction of these just claims (hat the extreme step has lieen taken. \s far as Venezuela is concerned the issue is beyond all doubt. Were the strength of the British. alone, put forth, the insignificant South Ameri can state would he crushed instantlv with no more effort than a man crushes a worm. It is this knowledge that makes the creditors of the State so forbearing and patient, but there is a limit to all human endurance, and the British lion and German eagle are but human in their character. LOCAL AND GENERAL Says the Ashburton Mail: " A few day ago we announced that the first effect of prohibition was the stoppage of work on tiie new -omerset Hotel building. Another effect is that the properties adjoining that building seem to have risen in value, for on Tuesday the tenants of four shops in Bur nett-street received notice that their rents would be raised from 12s to 20s per week. .V curiosity in the shape of a postcard which went astray, is in the possession of Mr K. Mothes, Petone. The postcard was written at Dresden, to Mr Motlies, and bore the somewhat slender address. " Petone, Jackson-street." It went to South Africa, and bears the- postmarks of Pretoria., Jvnn berly, and Johannesburg, but eventually it finished up at New Zealand. At the foot of the card is written in red ink, "Petone, Xew Zealand, Australia." l! is tiie daty of the Government, in the face of the present combination to main tain the price of bread, to take active measures for the protection of the people; but the situation is no doubt beset with dilfculties, since whilst it is urgently de sirable to prevent the price of food being abnormolly raised, at the same time it is necessary to see that the local producers are not unfairly put out of competition with outsiders.—Dunedin Star. The testing of the inilking-quaiity of herds is a matter which should receive more attention from the dairy farmers of the Country than it doe- at present, says -Mr Kmsella, the Dairy Commisioner, in a recent leaflet. The improvement of every herd, which should be the constant aim of the owner, depends upon regularly dis carding tho=e animals that are not reacli i str a certain standard. The owner should aim to keep only those cows which return tho largest net proiA for the year. A four-fuote ! bird is in the possession of Mr Carter, of the I'ilol Station at Lyttel ton Heads. It is a gosling, one of seven hatched out of a setting of nine ege's. and nas fhree let vo of them on the, left; le, and on one «>! it j. two lei I legs are two f.-ot. It ap active and healthy, and is four days o'-h In walking it uses only two feet, tin; additional fo->t »n one leg ln ingduuli'.ed up, ami the third ieg being dragged aioiie' as an cncuuibiance. Some i'.axiniller.- in the Mamiwatu dis trict are paying as high as 22s bd per ton of green llax as royalty for the right of cutting. As it re-mires eight tons of groen tiax to make a ton of fibre, the owners of tlax lands must be " making their pile" says the New Zealand Times. The Makerua Company.which purchased the ex tensive llat swamp lands of the Welling ton and Manawatu ] tail way Company, is about to sell a number of flax farms, so as to enable flaxuiillers to acquire their own freeholds. The Laud and Income Tax Department has written to Mr Eugen Snndow drawing his attention to the fact that he is liable to pay income-tax on income earned by him during his present tour of the colony, and that under regulations it is necessary for him to lodge a deposit for the due amount of the tax when assessed. The 1 >epartment, therefore, calls upon Mr teandow to lodge the sum of =£2s, a full return of income to be furnished and the exact assessment made on the completion of the tour. Mr Sixdow appears to be the first person visit ing the colony who has been subjected to this provision of the Act, and this is the first country iu which he has had a similar experience. The following are the mileages of rail way completed in the colony since the 31st March, r.i'J2: Waipara-Scargdl, 15 miles: Poro-o-tarao-Ongarue, 14.J miles; Gisborne ivaiteratahi, 13 miles; Stratford-Toko, G miles ; Mangaonoho-Mangawfcki, lo miles: B'enlieim-Seddon, lo.f md-s. This repre sents a total mileage opened since 31st March of 74 miles. So far as the Mangaonoho-Naugaweka section is con cerned, the rails have been laid for another ten miles further, but the ballasting of this portion of the line has not been completed. These figures were quoted by the Minister of Public Works in his speech at the open ing of the Waipara-Scargill railway recently. The Australasian Chamber of Commerce in London is inviting suggestions from the New Zealand Chambers in regard to the question of the erec ting of remounts for the Imperial Army. It appears that there is considerable confusion iu the minds of breeders as to the stamp of horses required, and in order that a standard should be fixed for their guidance, the Executive Committee of the Austra asian i hamber has comuiuuionted with the AY ar Office, asking that this matter should be settled. Tne secretary of that chamber, in a 'e'ter to Mr S. Carroll, secretary of ihe Wellington Chamber says: " I'll" question is still under the consideration of the Executive Committee, and 1 am send jj-jir you by this mail tne (>o\einmenf Blue B"ok giving the reports upon the working of the li ein u tints Department abroad. • The Chamber wili be indebted to you for anv su-""estems vou may caie to make which Tan he incorporated in further •viiTcspontcnco with the Imperial Govern ment." Mr T. Morgan, Headmaster of the Na pier District School, recently expressed himself strongly on the school attendance question. Writing to the School Commit tee he said: " 1 forward a list of scholars who have failed to make the number of attendances required by the Act. I have also supplied the police with a copy of the list. 1 believe that a sharp lesson to the parents of three or four of the worst cases would have a very beneficial etlect. The bad attendance is not caus-'d through tru ancy. but through tic mdiiba encc and self ti.-diuess of the pai ti iii keeping the children home to do tr.va! things. Another long list could b • m eie out. . t the scholars who have been absent ei'.hcr thioagli being nek themselves, or prohibited from attend ing school tlir -ugn having an infectious diseases iu the family. Tins is very well in theory, but absoluiely useless with regard to the spreading ot tne disease. Ihe child ren are certaiulv kept from school, but they mix and play with everv child they meet ; they attend Sunday-school, go to picnics, and even serve as errand hojs, car ying as much infection to the houses they take"parcels to as they would to the school; in fact, the whole thin? is a farce as at present carried out."

Bla mires preached au appropriate si rmou, and the choir rendered iu a spirited maimer a number of Christmas carols. Special solos were rendered by Mesdanies Tat ton and CHialtrough and lie v. Mr Blaniires. The making- of spools and the sawirf of wood for them have assumed such im mense proportions that they are classed among the leading industries of Maine. Not all tie spool bars sawed in Maine are made into spools within the State, but are shipped to Europe. About I.V'OU.Oooft are sent across the water annually, chiefly to Scotland, one-half of the total being ship ped by one concern, almost all in steam ships. The people of Cam'ridge are to be favoured with some good music (vocal and instrumental) on Christmas night, when tho united choirs will render carols, an thems, and hymns at which they have been practicing hard lately. There are 40 voices and an efficient orchestra. Thehe music has been thoroughly practised, and a good evening should be spent. The final practice will be Jield on Tuesday evening in the Oddfellows' Hall, commencing at s p.m , when all taking part are requested to be present as a rehearsal of the programme will be made. Business people in Hamilton will learn with mingled feelings < .f regret and pleasure that Mr W. Von Stunner, of the Bank of New Zealand, is shortly to lie transferred to Te Awamutu, to the management of which branch he lias bean promoted, llauiiltonians have more than a passing interest in Mr Von Stunner's welfare, for it was in this town that, some twenty years ago, he first joined the Bank as junior. Since, then Mr Von Stunner Inn been transferred to several other branches in turn, but the greater part of the time his been sp ait amongst us, and he was always looked up at as essentially " our own." Besides this claim of old identity .Mr von Stunner had. by his uniform tact and Courtesy, made many personal friends and business acquaintances, and was voted one of the most popular officials in the service. While regretting his removal from us. the residents of Hamilton will be as one in congratulating Mr Von Stunner upon his well-earned promotion, and iu ex pressing the hope that the move may prove but a " stepping stone to higher things." Vet another attraction has been added to the Hamilton Lake. With a public spirited ness for which he deserves all credit, Mr Geo. Parr communicated with Mr Smale, curator of the trout hatcheries atOkoroire, and asked him if he thought the lake would be suitable for trout. Mr Smale replying that he saw no reason why the fish should not thrive there, Mr Parr at once made arrangements for some brown trout fry to be sent to Hamilton. These arrived yesterday, some hundreds being place I in the water, the fish being from one te two inches long. As in another eigh teen months, the fish will provide some go.>d sport, an 1 should thereby add to the attractiveness of the town, it is to be hoped thai in the meantime they will be allowed to remain unmolested. We are sure that di- aples of Isaac Walton,iu Hamilton, will fully appreciate Mr Parr's action, and will sec 'iid his efforts to remedy what has long been expressed as oue of the deliciences of mir beautiful lake. There were good congregations at the Christmas services at St. Paul's Wesleyan Church, Cambridge, yesterday. Special Christmas hymns, anthems and solos were sung, the soloists being Miss E. Veale in the morning, and the Misses Jessie Clark, Jarrett and Veale in the even ng. The Rev. S. J. Gibson, addressing the children, reminded them of the true meaning of Christinas, and concluding begged them to be pure and true like Him whose birth t: e Christian world is just about to com memorate. Tho |ieverend gentleman cen tred his remarks on the word, ' Bethlehem," giving a splendid ex position liis subject. The even ing dis" rse was upon the model house, being well thought out and very helpful. During the service, Mr Gibson announced that the Cambridge West Methodists would hold their annual Sun day School picnic on Boxing Day and all were cordially invited. The picnic would be held in Mr Reynold's paddock. St. Paul's Sunday School picnic will be held in Mr Martin Butler's property on New Year's Day. Those friends who intend helping with donations are requested to let either the Kev. S. J. Gibson or Mr Eeid (superintendant) know at their earliest convenience. The children will be provided for but- adults wll kindly take their own provisions. At the conclusion of the morning service, Mr 11. T. Tudehope played Handels Hallelugah chorus. The church was prettily decorated with ferns, Christmas liilies, and other white flowers. The South Africa Steamship Com pany's steamer Devon, which is now loading in New Zealand for Sou h Africa, wili make Wellington her final port of de parture. The steamer will take to the Cape betweeu thirty-four and thirty-five thousand carcases of mutton, several thousand quarters of beef, in addition to a very large quantity or butter, poultry and other New Zealand products. It has been stated that the Devon is proceeding to Gisborne to load mutton, not for South Africa, but for Brisbane, and that dissatis faction is being expressed among exporters at this deviation, which is alleged to be outside the terms of contract. This is quite inaccurate. The Devon is certainly going to Gisborne to load mutton, but not for Brisbane. It is for the Cape. Further, the fact that a call is to be made at Bris bane is not outside the contract at all. The contract with the New Zealand Go vernment gives the contractors the right to call at another Australian port besides F reman tie. Far from any dissatisfaction being felt at the Devon going to Brisbane with pioduce from this colony, New Zea land-'rs may not unnaturally congratulate themselves that another outlet is being found for their exports. The Devon is going to land a quantity of beef from New Zealand at t lie Queensland capital. The ravages of the drought have caused a de mand in that State for beef such as never before existed. That article was, until re cently, one of its principal exports. The changed position of olfairs is one that is now being taheii advantage of to tho benefit of NV.\ Zealand p ist.oralists. The steamers loaded iu this country for South Africa are, it is worthy of notice, now re ceiving the greatest part of their cargoes from the North Island. The Devon, for instance, first went to Lyttelton, then to Napier, and now proceeds to Gisborne and Wauaanui. subsequently calling at Wel lington pn r to departure.

HAMILTON A match was played between the above on Saturday last. It was late in the afternoon before Hamilton got a full com plement of men, while the visitors were two men short. Hamilton were the nrst to bat and put together the respectable total of 81, mainly through the efforts of 11. Johnson and H. L. Blamires. Johnson, who is in great run-getting vein just now, put together 46 in fine style, the field be ing very busy while he was at the wickets. In his score were three 4's and six 3's. Blamires played a chanceless innings for 15. The Tuhikaramea tciin collapsed in their innings, only getting 34 runs, and of these R. Livingstone made 20 not out by good sound cricket. Blamires was mainly responsible for the downfall of the visitors, taking five wickets for ID runs. It was de cided to let Tuhikaramea follow on, and a much better stand was made, 77 being re gistered before the last wicket fell. Of thi3 total N. Reid made 41. The score was well made, the batsman showing good defensive powers, and only towards the end of innings did he take any liberties with the bowling. T. Living.,tone made 15 in good style. Half an hour remained of time and Hamilton required 31 runs to win the match, but they could only make 20 in the time. Of this number Bradstock made 16, by nice free cricket, and did not give the field a chance. Gorthope stayed at the wickets for the half hour foi 8 runs. Hamilton won the match on the first in nings by 47 runs. E. and T. Livingstone and X. Reid bowled very well for the loosers The fielding of th« visitors was poor, and, owing to the number of chances which were thrown away, practically decided the re sult. The local team were fairly good in this department of the game, and although the luhikaramea were smart between the wickets the runs were kept down.

CAMBRIDGE WEST SCHOOL. ANNUAL PICNIC AND spoiM'S. The annual picnic ami sports in connec tion with the above school, held on Friday in the school grounds, were an imqualified Mtccess from every point of view, and the weather being all that could be desired, a very enjoyable day was spent. About 2oij people were present, and at 1 o'clock the i lay's sport really commence'!. The races, which w.-re run oil tir>t, created the usual amount of interest amongst the young folks, and ke >n rivalry was displayed in this direction, as the prizes were more costly and u-elul than heretofore. Several consolation events were added, in order to give the unsuccessful competitors a chance of obtaining a prize. The teachers and the committee were indefatigable in their exertions to make the whole aliair a suc cess, and a. bountiful supply of refresh ments were provided by the parents of the children, and a bevy of ladies pleased everybody in their distribution of them. The tug of war, Cambridge West v. Pukekura, was undoubtedly the event of the day, and created no end of excitement. Cambridge West had the best of it during the first spell, but in the second bout the Pukekura boys not only held their own, but they seemed to be a trifle too much for their opponent!-, and had the rope not snapped under the strain, at the critical moment, things might have gone hard against Cambridge West. The thirl boui was the " corker," and lasted 10 minute, both sides being in danger several times of having to give way, when the rope again failed, whereupon the judges stepped in and declared the contest a drawn one. This whs the final event, after which luncheon was partaken of, and the remainder of the day was spent in the usual games, which were indulged in with great vigour.

J. Wilkinson's startling advertisement in this issue, where they will find something that will open their eyes. There are now five flax mills at work in and around Makatu, Hay of Plenty, and it is intended to «rect workshops at the neighbouring settlement of Waihi, where the manufacture of rope and binder twine will be carried on. Mr W, Escott, of Victoria-street, Cam bridge, has in hand a large stock of new goods, such as tea and dinnar ware, cutlery electro-plated ware, suitable for Christmas presents. Residents in the district fully appreciate the excellence of the goods stocked by Mr Escott, anct are not slow to avail themselves of the bargains offered. Nothing further has transpired with re gard to the reported petition against Mr Witheford's return. It is stated that legal opinion was obtained to the eff-'ct that tiie Parnell election is invalid owing to the alleged removal of 170 name 3 from the roll after the issue of the writ. A telegram from Hokitika states that the Crown Lands iiauger, acting under in structions from the Lauds' Depirtment, has issued summons against a number of saw-millers for polluting certain streams with sawdnst. Great interest is being taken in the matter, as an adverse decision would practically mean the shutting down of several mills. The ease will be called on the Magistrate's Court on Friday, but owing to the absence of the Magistrate. will be adjourned till after the holi days. CRICKET. ENGLISHMEN v. AUCKLAND.

WELLINGTON, This Day. A portion of the National purser was presented to the Premier yesterday in the shape of a casket and a cheque for £*7:, The casket was of tolid silver, beautifully chased, aud mounted on a black stand On the inside of the cover is the following in scription :-'• Presented with its contents to the Bight Hen.

OUR LOCAL INDUSTRIES. T"E HAM!!,I' >.\ F~\ \'!!I.L. As th.e flax in lust ry has played such an Important part in th • history >f New Zei land, and Uat pros ut o'X'ipyin ■;• pu'li: itten'.iun a : iuo of the m --t :! uirUhing of e.ir ie a. iii lustries, a represenl t'.ve of ihe Waika o Times yesterday waited un Mr I. C'oatos, the we'l-ku.'.vn liix-miil owner, who very courLejiisly conducted iin over the mil! 0:1 tne Waika!", a' il.uu'b in. The visit was made a'l the nioie enjoyable mviu,' to til-• grip!;:: manna' in winch the various processed .vere and a very agreeable and instr.i :tivo h tit' hour was spent. Wlien the green il ex c >uios in to the mill, it is --in lu the stripper, where pass. iug between cyclinders revolving at a speed of 2,200 revolutions per minute, the fibre is separated into long shreds. Passing thence down a shoot the hanks are caught by a young iad, and the dust and small particles shaken out. Then they are placed in a long wo >den trough where they are thoroughly washed and scraped, afterwards being placed on a frame to drain, while aw.uiaug the cuter to convey them to the drying grounds. These grounds cover about 2 i acres, and the flax is spread out to diy in the sun, at this tune of the year the fibre taking about five days to dry. Coming from the giounds, the unscutched fibre is stacked in conical shaped stacks, and from these brought as required into what is known as the " Muka " shed. Then the fibre passes through the final process, the scutching, where by the beating action of fans revolving at the speed of 220 revolu tions a minute, the woody portions are sep arated from the true fibre of commerce. It is then ready for baling and is made up int" bales of about 1 cwt each. About eight tons of green fiix will produce one ton "t good fibre, and the green mill at Hamilton puts through from seven to eight tons per day, but in the scutching house where two scutchers and one bailer are employed, the output is slightly greater, so that when these men overtake the sup ply of Muka, they are sent into the field to assist in spreading the flax. The whole of the machinery is driven by a Robey engine, double ',' inch cyclinder 14 li.p. nominal, which pumps its own water from the river, the water for tho washing trough being pumped by a Califoraian pump. Mr (Mates has also mills at Matatu, on the East Coast, Alorrinsville, and Tahuna tira, i.ear liotorua. At each of the mills except Morrinsville, which has two, there is one stripper, that at Hamilton being one of a latest pat tern, capable of turning out work equal to two of the old pattern. The supplies of Max are of course drawn from all over the country, that for the local mill be ing obtained principally from Cambridge and Tauwhare, and supplies have been se cured sufficient for the next six months. Mr Coates is the largest supplier to the Auckland market, and some kl 'a of the ex tent of his operations may be gained when it is mentioned that he employs over 200 hands, with 2!■ waggons working almost constantly, besides three or four bullock drays. A-reg,ro-; wages, in no case is a man paid less than f-3 per day, while the scutchers and some of the more competent :n.'ti earn up to !>s. 'The Hamilton mill is worked by daily wage-, but the others are under the -viit'ract system. it is a striking testimony to th? excell ence of the product turned out at these mills th it the flax is always grade' G.F.A, —good fair average and as such coin mauds t ip prices. Eaehmill has its own dis tinctive brands, that < A ll.i nilton being Hu a: Morri; sville, Moa ; Makate, k"iw : and Tahunalira, Kaahu. The refuse of the fibre when it comes out of the scutchers is the well-known tow, which is packed in bales, and sent away, the bulk of it being taken by the River head (Auckland; Taper Mills for manufac ture int i paper, the rest being shipped Home. About three cwt of tow to the ton of tlbre is the usual proportion. Altogether the industry has made great strides during the fifteen years Mr Coatos h.s been engaged in it, and in that time its iniluence on the we!'are of Waikat i has been very marked, as it has, both directly and indirect iy,caused remunerative employ ment for a large prop irtion of our popula tion. ypviking of the prospects of the trade generally, Mr Coat -s we.; hopeful that for some time to come it would be a flourish ing one, and said that although fibre was now some seven pounds lower in price than it had been lately, still there was a margin of pr tit. The best way in which to secure himself was for the miller to enter into contracts for the supply of fibre; he, him s-If was under one cntrart to supply 200 tons within a given time. The market fluctuates S'i much that on' never knew where lie was, but they must take the good with the had. On the whole. Air Coates was inclined to take a hopeful view of the future. After further conversation the inter viewer withdrew, having been mosl in terested in the visit, which was made all the more pleasant by the thoroughness with which the varieus processes were ex plained by Mr Coates.

I'res nt: Messrs J as. Taylor chairman], M. lJutlei, C. Lake and S. Cowling. DAMMIMii A DRAIN. The following letter was received from Major Kiehardson : " I find that the water in the drain running through Rose's, Swayne's and Major's sections of the Fen court estate are either completely choked or eke dammed.theret y forcing the water up through Xichol's and then' on to my ground. As you know also, J. AlcCann has forced the water on to the new road laid out by the Government by a dam on his own laud, which gives me about 3ft to -Ift of water in my drains. It also forces the water back on to the old road, the water being up to the bridge across the drain. Mr Taylor told me that if I wrote to you, you would make these settlers clean out their drains. Although I believe Mc- Cann bested the Road Board about the drain along this newly laid down road, by forcing this water back on this new road, it also forces the water on to the drain across the road already under Rotd Hoard control. The water is about up to the bridge, and I think you can force him to lower it. In the other drain, J. Major is the principal offender, as he, by not clear ing out his drain, forces the water back up Swayne, Eos? and Nichols and then on to my ground. I have seen Air Mueller on the subject, and he is going to in struct the ranger to see that the drains are cleaned out, and also wrote them a stiff letter on the subject. I think you could certainly insist on the drains being kept clean and prevent the water being forced back into the drain across the road. J. McCann, .Major (late Gibbons'), Swayne and Rose arc those who should be forced to clean out the drains.'' The Clerk said the drains were all made by private people on private property and had nothing whatever to do with the B ,ard. Mr Butler thought the position was that the Board was to consider whether the water was dammed back to t' e detriment of the road. The surfaceman said Messrs Richardson and Rose complained that the damage was between Fencourt, and AVest's, where there was a very deep drain, but in reality it was Richardson who sent the water down towarh- Rose's. ' Mr Cowling said so long as it did not damage the road, the Road Board had nothing to do with the matter. The Chairman thought if AlcCann had opened the drain instead of damming it, il would have done the latter and the neighbours good iusteid of harm. Membi-rs generally expressed the opinion that AlcCann had assumed a dog in the manger attitude. They thought by his action damage had been done to the Go vernment roil, but this was not under their control at the present time. As so. n as the Board's roads were affected, then they would bring pressure to bear. CLOSINH EOADS. Air G. Mueller, Commissioner of Crown Land?, wrote as follows: "In reply to your letter re closing roads in the Fencourt estate, I would point out that in each case another road has be. n provided for the one proposed to b ■ closed ; that being the case 1 am unable to understand y ur Hoard's refusal to grant their consent to the closing cf the reals. I return the tracings, and forward a litho, showing the roads as laid out through the estate, and would ask you to bring the matter again before your Hoard for reconsideration, and if after the matter has been again con sidered by the Board and their consent is withheld, would you kindly give the reasons for not closing the road to enable me to make a report, to the Surveyor- General." The Clerk explained the Department had two ways of closiug a road, one w-is by a secret process and the other was under the Public Works Act. The Department in this case was adopting the former plan, and the Board would receive nothing by way of compensation. The matter was left in Air Lake's hands, to report at a future meeting. FINANCE. No money being available, it was decided that no new works could be proceeded with until the rates come in at the end of March next. BLOCKED CULVERT. Air 11. W. Price wrote drawing the Coun cil's attention to the culvert crossing the Alaungakawa road, beside his land, section 228, llautapu. It was so blocked up in the wet weather that the surface water could not properlv run off, and thus kept part of his land very wet. He asked that it be cleaned out. The surfaceman said the pipes were clean. Letter received. ACCOUNTS. The followiug accounts were passed for payment: Public accounts £V.) Is lOd, salary £6 ss, T. Pennell £8 ss. J. Hicks £1 6s, C. Mann £6, J. Shaw £2,1, E. SAwarfcz !'s. ORAVEL PIT. The surfaceman was instructed to fill in the gravel pit opposite Selby's, as it was dangerous to traffic. It was resolved to embody in future specifications for contractors that all pits from which gravel is taken by them, shall be so graded off as not to be dangerous. FITCKE WORKS.

WAIKATO A. AND P. ASSOCIA TION. ME' UN'; OF OKNFI.'AL O>M- Ml IT Hi,. A mooting of the General Committco of the Wailato A. and P. Association was held in St. Peter's schoolroom, Hamilton, yester day morning. There were present: Messrs I Cont-fta, President, (in (he chair), R. Reynolds, R. Fisher, .1. Fisher, M. O. Farrer, If. S. Sodden. .1. lb rd-n. J. A. .Milne, T. Slade, J. Primrose, (. .!. Storev, S. Steele, E B. Cox, J. Knight, F. J. Marshall. .1. C. : lien. 0, Day. ' I. L'ltnci iiian, 11. ,1. Union la.de. W, (i. I'ark and A .I.Storey. Mr Swarbriek vas pros ■ nt in order to give iul'orina'iou on any points raised dur ing the discussion sl|o\\ SITK. The hosideut read the detailed list of the voting at the recent ballot f r a show site as published in Saturday's Waikato Times. The opinion of Mr Swarbriek re the power of thc - General C immittee ;., acquire the Claudelands site, wa- real as follows: In reply 1 the questions submit fee] to mo 1 beg to advise as follows. The Association, not being incorporated, canno'. themselves hold laud, but-practically the same result can be brought about by acquiring the laud in the name of trustees who can execute a declaration of trust binding them to hold the land and deal with it for the purposes of the Associa tion. The ballot taken is, I think sullicienl to authorise the committee to acquire Claude lands on behalf of the Association so far as the same can be done without expending the funis of the Association. Rule IS of the Associa tion is very stringent and ties up the funds of the Association in a manner which was probably never contemplated. I'nder that rule the funds of the Association cannot bo devoted to the purpose of acquiring Claude lands except by a resolution of the general meeting. Mr Knight understood the last voting waste decide whether Claudelauds was to be purchased or not, and he understood that which ever site gained the majority of votes was to be secured, but now it seemed that the vote decided nothing. Claudelands had a very substantial ma jority and he thought tjiey were bound to carry out that decision. Mr Uordon said their duty was to finance the thing and take the land over on behalf of the Association. Mr Farrer proposed that until the Asso ciation sees its way to become incorporated the executive shall be instructed to pur chase Claudelands, £') debentures, bearing interest at 5 per cent, to be issued; also that 3 or 5 trustees be appointed. He moved a motion to that effect. Mr Allen seconded the motion, but he thought three trustees should be appointed that day, and two elected by the debenture holders. Mr Farrer fell in with the suggestion, and the motion was amended accordingly. Mr John Fisher opposed the motion be cause he took a different view of the voting. Certain sites were placed before members, and they were asked to vote on the most suitable site for a show ground ; but there was no negative ; roposal, so that those op posed to all the sites mentioned could not express their wishes in the matter. He was in that position, and be claimed that the majority of members with him, as only three huudro 1 odd vote- out of a total membership of KXJ had been cast for Claudelands; "A 10 members had not voted, and he thought that many of them had re frained because they were not in favour of any of these sites. The matter should be discussed at a general meeting of mem bers. Mr Knight pointed out that if the Cam bridge people had not withdrawn their site, the matter would have been decided beyond question, lie doubted if the Cam bridge site had been carried whether this question would have been raised. Mi' Cordon said their legal advisor's opinion was thai it was a legal vote, and they stick to that advice. Mr Steele thought the laud should be secured. His idea was the formation of a company 1 y members b< th of the Associa tion aud of the Ruing Club, to purchase the property. The land b ing good, the price ask"d was cheap, and he hoped it would not bo allowed to slip through their fingers. Mr Cox coinhatted Mr Fisher's view At first the Cambridge site was included m the vote, but of their own action those in favour of it had withdrawn the offer. Had they gone to the poll there would have been no trouble. It was not fair for mem bers to come and complain to if not having a opportunity of voting. Mr Reynolds said lie did not think the vote bound the Association to buy any site ; it merely was to show which was the mrst desirable site. He would certainly \ippose. the buying of Claudelaud. Legal opinion showed that they could not buy it. Mr Primrose said it was rather peculiar that those in favour of a particular site had not brought their site forward. Mr Fisher retaliated by saying that if Cambridge people had recorded a vote for any other site they would have placed Claudelands in a peculiar position. The President pointed out that Mr Fish er was on the committee when the pro posals were brought forward. Claudelands in his opinion was a good speculation, of fc ie <£2OOJ asked for the lands there was a guarantee of £250 promised by the for mer syndicate, leaving £1750 to b" raised, and tis much of this was promised in pub lic subscriptions the Association's funds would be encroached upon but little. The property was well worth £2500. Now was the time to acquire it as the option expired on January 7th. It was a good offer and they should make the best of it. The mction wa-' carried, by 10 to 4 Messrs Fisher (2.1, and Reynolds dissenting. TBUSTEKS. Mr !' moved that Messrs C. .1. S orey, .> Aitkin, and J. C. Allen be appoint as trustees, the debenture holders to have \*,he power to elect two others. This was seconded by Mr Steele. Mc.l. Fisher protested against the motion. They had met there to receive Air Swar brick's opinion, and the motion was nit ra vires : notice of motion must be given be fore they could pass the resolution. The Association should not go beyond show mat ters and enter into land transactions. 1 >•■■• notice should be given and duo authority (riven by the general meeting of members of the Association. He thought that the proposer and seconder had overlooked one g -ntlemun who should be on the board of t aistees—nanvly, the President. i- reply to a question, Mr Swarbriek m here faid that whatever was d-ne by that L meeting practically was subject to revision lit at the g 'neral meeting of members, for the ftg reason that the general meeting holds the J-J pur-e frings, and withuuc their consent the * ' money eiu. ot bo spent, and this not being a corporate body cannot be pledged. He Weill' point out to the meeting that what ever tie:. might do could not prejudice the Association, because the Association funds ci„ii'tLi taken except by a vote of the Association, and the Association not being ineorpor i' ed c add not, according to law, be liable a- a corp rate body. Mr ''ay asked if the general meeting e mid either r»p-\il or confirm the resolu tion of the committee. Air Swarbriek said they can either vote the money or withhold it, which practically amounted to the same thing. JL Mr Steele explained that he seconded the ■ resolution becau-e the land was a good spec illation. If the Association did not require the ground at any time they could cut it up and make money. Mr Cordon asked, if the committee made arrangements to purchase this ground and appointed trustees could the, general meet ing of members say they would have not '" hing whatever to do with the matter ? Mr Swarbriek said if they so desired the members could say that not ono penny piece should bo spent on it. >lr E. Fisher said the general members had not given the committee authority to pledge the Association to any site, an 1 they could therefore do nothing that day. Mr F.irrer said if the public took up the debentures it would not be necessary to touch the Association's funds. If members did not like to buck them up. they woul 1 still have the ground, which was worth the money. Mr Knight said he had th,, 11 -- ' that whatever any member of the yssoei.iUoa had done whs for the .rood of the lion, and that other members \vo ulli ■ )iU -'" them ul 1 - x "" if appeared thai members could leave fhein in a hole and th" veuturo would become a private speculation. Hi idea was t i appoint four trustees from different parts of the country, who would lie ready to advance Jj.'iOO each, and bold the property in trust for the Association. If the Association wi died in the luture tu acquire the land, they could do so. Now ti :f-y were uppoiuliug trustees, it appeared to him that the committee left it tu them to work the thing up or throw it over. Suppose they bought the s;round and mem bers said they would not pay for it. they would be in a hole. The trustees did not want the land as a privati speculation, As regards the locality, he was unite prep: 1 to go wherever the majority of members wished to go. Mr Reynolds opposed the proposal tooth aud nail. The land might be worth X2JW to a syndicate who could cut it up into small sections, but it was m-t worth X'l 00 to the Association. If the President were Correct there was a surplus of &VHJ for a private syndicate, and sureythe trustees would lose nothing. Mr Mien said nearly 300 members had voted fir Claudelands, and these members would feel morally bound to back up the Committee in any steps taken for the acquirement of Claudelands. They ought to do their best to promote the interests of those who voted ■ if they did not do what the general members wished they should not be i,n the Committee. Mr Day maintained .that three or four hundred voted for Claudelands and two or three individuals in Cambridge wished to block the matter. If they took the Show to Cambridge the matter would be settled. Mr Fisher: Poor Fellow! Mr Day: It is you who are the poor fellow. In reply to a question by Mr Knight, Mr Swarbriek said the vote taken was suf ficient for the Committee tu act on, with the proviso that anything done would not pledge the Association because the funds were at the disposal of the general meet ing. Mr Farrer thought it was evident the members would support the Committe 1 , and he thought they would be safe in ac quiring the land. Mr J. Fisher disclaimed any intention of damaging the Association, lie maintained that nothiug could be done before the gen eral meeting of members. JJo was nut in favour of Claudelands, but was in favour of Frankton. He always had been. Further discussion followed, the motion being eventually passed by Hi to 1-, Messrs Fisher (2), Park and Reynolds voting against it. Mr Fistyer asked what position he stood in as regards the lease which he had signed on behalf of the Association, now that the Syndicate had sold the land to an other gentleman. He also wanted to know what steps had been taken to conserve the interests of the Association in the yards and buddings belonging to the Associa tion. The President assured him that his posi tion was the same as previously, and that the interests of the Association had been safeguarded, as the transfer had been made solely for the benefits of the Association. Mr Steele proposed aud Mr Day seconded that the services of Mr Swarbriek be re tained as solicitor to the trustees on behalf of the Assoeiation. .Mr Allen advocate! that members pre sent should take up debentures but there was no response.

PIRONGIA. ■ ♦ • (Fkojj Our Own Corkk.sj'ondkvt) The Christmas season is with u.s again, and the usual holiday amusements are be ing arranged by the several Committees. ( )n Boxing Day th" annual races take place on the Club's course (Mr George Perry's farm). The Alexandra race meeting is one of the oldest meetings in the Waikato, and always commands a good attendance. As the entries are much larger this year, and the weights having been well received by horse owners, largo fields are expected to face the starter. Airs Finch will have the publican's booth as usual, and Mr Cooper, of To Awamutu, will have a refreshment booth on the ground. In the evening a concert will be given in the Public Hail in aid of the race funds. A real good pro gramme is being prepared, with the usual dance, oivon fine weather, Boxing Day, 1002, should be one of the most enjoyable for many years past. The Auckland cricketers touring the Waipa during the Christmas week will meet our local playeu on Monday, the 2'Jth. Judging from last .-ea.->oii and the present, we shall have a much better game than the last, and we hope to just about win. The To Rore picnic will be held on Mr Goodwin's farm on the last day of the year. To Rore picnics are the most popular of the whole district, ami are always attended by residents from all sides. The children's annual Christmas Tree is under the management ~f jyjj ss A. Aubin. The date has not yet been fixed, nor has that of the annual picnic for the children, which will tali ■ place during the holidays. ' On Christmas I Jay the Rev. F.

Feel the comb of a known poor layer. ]t feels like canvas in compari son with the other. Brown Minorcas, having plumage" the same as our Brown Leghorns, are said to be the latest English produc tion. Their promoters say that they have immense size, weighing more than the Black variety, and that they are wonderful egg producers. The "Stock keeper" tells the following of a lady who is expert and lecturer to a certain County Council in Ireland who was good enough to give some details of her experiences. The lady says that at one of her cen tres the audience were very shy. and, though burning to ask questions, could not pluck up the courage. To over come the difficulty, the lady suggested that next time they should write down their questions, and she would reply to each one of them. Sure enough, next time there was a little pile of papers, and upon the top a neatly folded note, bearing the question, " Why does a chicken cross the road ?" The high price of eggs during the past two months, which is usually the cheapest time, has considerably limited the quantity put into cold storage in Sydney. During the above months in 1901, there were stored at the Government Export Depot 2884 cases, containing slightly over one hundred thousand dozens; the pre sent season's results being 2000 cases. numbering 72,000 dozens. At the present price, Is per dozen*(savs a Sydney journal), there is much won der that producers have even stored to the extent mentioned, seeing that last year's figures at the above time were 8d and 9d. Looking at the matter superficially, it might be thought that poultry farmers are now doing well with eggs 30 to 40 per cent, higher than in previous years, and fowls ditto, but, as a matter of fact, the staple foods are more than double the price they were last year. An East Maitland correspondent, writing to the Sydney Morning Herald draws attention to a case of suspended animation of the embryo chick which, as he suggests, is worth recording. The gentleman had a hen set with twelve eggs. Six of these were re moved as infertile. The hen was ac cidently shut off from her nest at seven o'clock in the morning of the eighteenth day until the following morning about the same time, being twenty-four hours off the nest. The night was a rough one, over five inches of rain falling, and the eggs, of course, were stone cold. The hen, however, was allowed to resume her task, and, on the twenty third day, four chicks were hatched from the six eggs. The above, although showing a prolonged period of suspended ani mation, is not an isolated case, most breeders having had like experiences, though in a less pronounced dcree. Mr J. E. PemeH, during the present season, visited a fancier's farm near Paramatta, and when going through the poultry yards, the owner found a broody hen dead on the nest, which must have resulted many hours pre vious, the eggs being perfectly cold. The owner naturally in tended to destroy the ' e"#s but, at the request of Mr Peine!], they were brought to town and placed under a hen the same night at that gentleman's farm at Randwiek, the re sult being a fair brood, Mr llamsav the present year also reported alike occurrence, all going to show that when accidents of this sort occur, the eggs should not be thrown awav, as i •: too frequently done. It also empha sises the opinion that the minority of those using incubators do not I'ive the eggs sufficient cooling durimHhe last week of the hatching period. "W.G.W." Westland, writes thus in the New Zealand Farmers' Chron icle :-—" Is it of any interest to you or your readers to hear of a hen laving two eggs within twenty-four hours ; if so, 1 can vouch for the following. I have three Minorca hens and a cock erel in a breeding pen, which I visit every day at 6.00 a.m. and 10 p.m. On .Monday night fast I took out all the eggs laid that day. On Tuesday morning at 6..J0 a.m. I went into the pen to clean up, and found one already laid and left it in the nest. At B.:»o.the same evening I found four eggs in the nest and as ] know every hen's particular egg. The two "-'-"' la >d by the one hen "''•' boMi whole, but the last ""'■' hud shows an indentation in the shell as if it | ;iu i ], e?n p;Ts ..,. f i against the other egg while the shell was soft. The two eggs weigh o.ioz*. The hen which laid them is a "terror" for laying large eggs, one she laid weighed 4oz». I 'can vouch for the above facts as no other hen has access to the nests. J have had hens lav one egg in the mo/ning and another drop during the night, but the shell of the latter one was not properly hard. rhUM the time I have known'a hen to lay two fully f o , med eg within vventy hours.''

He doesn't hurry cularly; he takes his time and binds " ' e "■ and then his wings and ....... ~.„._,. That is the way with the £d enemy of mankind—disease. It has a web—the web of trivial disorders neglected. When a man heedlessly stumbles into th*t web be must be careful. The stomach is most liable to get cut of Hence how important that no diseased matter c'.og its operation*, which would cause nausea and distress by the taking of food. 'lf not atte-'dod to, a thousand ailments are ready to arise, caused by impurities being carried through the whole system by the blood. What you want is something that will keep the digestive organs in a healthy condition, and unJ.og, or carry away, all impure matter. That something is Dr. Morse's Indian Boot Pills; they cleanse the stom ach, make tho apoetite healthy, the digestion lerfecr., tho liver active and the blood pure. Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills cure Bilious ness, Indigestion, Constipation, Dyspepsia, Headaches, Liver and Kiducy Diseases, Boils, Pimples and Blotches. They are unlike other medicines they do not weaken—and a* a cure for Female Ail men tn they are unequalled.

Cunning weavers, they would -jiiind you. One;: you rtirt their u=e then there is danger ahead". They nv y appear to do you good while you are taking them (so does whisky), l«t stop their use, then comes the re-action. They would have you bound to their u»e like the spider binds the fly.

THE OLDEST DAILY NEWSPAPER IN THE WAIKATO. WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 21, 1902. CHRISTMASTIDE, 1902. Awav in the "Wintry North, as well as in the genial summer atmosphere of the Antipodes, it is, regardless of climate, the custom for the civili I world to keep high holiday at Chris,- mas time. In the Old Country, with mid-winter snow and ice our of doors, and blazing Yule log and good cheer within, the comforts of home are best realised. Rut here, under the Southern Cross, nature is attired in her brightest and best summer ap parel and holiday thoughts turn to railway excursions, picnics in the country, or a visit to the old home. Christmas is above all other festivals the dearest to the human heart, for it is the one with which the most sacred institution of home is inseparably associated, and where possible at this time, the 'family gathers and reunites with love and happiness. In our churches the festive strain is raised, but like the Sabbath rest, its blessing over flows into the world, and on every hand brightness and pleasure prevail over the cares and toils of life. At this festive season human nature un bends for social joys, and with gener ous acts and kindly wish, strives to promote peace and goodwill amongst men. This year it is a matter for congratulation that the great Boer war is satisfactorily ended, and in many homes throughout the British dominions that last year were anxious lor dear ones at the front, they now rejoice in the presence of heroes re i urued in peace and honour. Another hiet in which we, rejoice together is the happy recovery and splendid Coronation of His Alajestv King Ed ward YJL Following upon the war ihe gathering for the brilliant ceremony of representative states men and soldiers from every part of his widespread |)ominions which have supported the Mother Land in battle, makes us conscious of a grander unity and a wider kinship and power than hitherto realised. Although happy that we in this colony -of New Zealand did not join in the Federation of Australia which was inaugurated with the beginning of ];ed. year, yet, in spite of disastrous droughts and heavy strains, lessons have been learned which may be helpful in moro pros perous days. . While, sympathising with the sufferings of our Australian neighbour.-, we hope that their Feder a:i"ti may hau; better luck iu the future. In this Colony the (hTe ra! i'ihctions have just passed ipiictlv ! enough, and the Liberal Cowrnment by the support and coniidenc of the people, stall directs the fortunes and industries of this favoured land, liere the past year has been marked with pn spn'ity aid progress.

Following with the good season everyone enter tains high hopes for the future of the Waikato. Speaking for ourselves the new management is pleased to find even amongst political opponents we are steadily gaining new sub scribers, and that with our increased circulation, more plentiful news and more numerous advertisements, we have had to permanently enlarge our daily issue. Business has so far war ranted our progressive venture, and we have but little fear for the future. It is therefore with warm feelings of common interest and gratitude that we heartily wish our readers one and all A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS LOCAL AND GENERAL In order to allow the staff their usual Christmas holidays, there will be no issue of The Waikato Times to-morrow (Christ mas Day) ©r on Boxing Day. The members of Lord Hawke's Cricket team passed through Hamilton, by the express yesterday, on their way to spend Christmas at Rotorua. They return to Auckland on Saturday, leaving for New I,'lymouth the following Monday. Mr C. F. Bond, Hon. Sec. of the Hamil ton Cricket Association, yesterday received a. telegram from Mr C. Mowdeu, saying that owing to the short notice, the Waipa Cricket Association cannot raise u team to play the former Association on Boxing Day. The I'arnell (Auckland) Cricket team which is touring the Waikato will play at Te Awamutu on Dec. 27th, 29th and 30th and will play the Hamilton Cricket Asso ciation at Hamilton on January Ist. The body of Robert White, who died from the results of the blast ing accident at Te Ivuiti, was burind at the Hamilton East cemetary on Monday, the Rev; D. C. Bates officiating at the grave. It is worth of mention that the whole cost of tho funeral was borne by the fellow workmen of the deceased, Lately an AsAhurton (South Canterbury) angler succeeded in landing what is said to be the bigge t fish ever caught in the Ashbu ton River. It turned the scale at lOlbs 2oz. The fish was 32 inches iu length and 2;:{ inches in girth. It was caught with phantom soleskin whitebait at the mouth of the river, several falling to the same angler. That mysterious individual, the P.D., de sires us to acknowledge, with reciprocal thanks, the receipt of a tasteful and uni que post card conveying seasonable greet ings from the Post master and staff of the Te A > aiuutu Post office to " the Editor and Staff (not forgetting the P.Dp of the Wai kato Times." The card, which is issued by the Department of Tourist and Health Resorts, is typical of New Zealand's characteristic attractions, as on the address side are representations of grotesque Maori carvings, and a war canoe, while on the back is a coloured picture of a scene on the W.uiganui River. The Land Purchase Board is at present sitting in Auckland to: tho consideration of the purchase cf estates for closer settle ment. Messrs Barron (chairman), Mar chant (Surveyor-General), Mueller (Com missioner of Crown Landsi, McGowan (Commissioner of Taxes), and R. Hall were present at the meetings on Monday and Tuesday. The meetings are private, and tiie decisions arrived at are recommenda tions to the Government, and are there fore not made public. The Board has 2S estates m various parts of the colony under its consideration, including the Matamata Estate. A suggestion has been made to the Coun cil of Yictoria College, by Dr. Findlay, that the Government, which is the largest em ployer of technical labour in the colony, should be asked to assist in conveying in s ruction on technic d subjects. Dr. Find lay was led to make the suggestion by see ing ou a railway iu the Fnited States a large car labelled, " instruction car,"' in which the railway company had arrauged for the delivery of lectures to its workmen, during the luncheon hour, on mechanics, electricity, and scientific subjects which would be helpful to them in their work. The Yictoria College Council lias had be fore it a proposal for the establishment of some system of instruotion by correspond ence, and a committee will bring up a re port on the subject at next meeting. The formal opening of the new factory erected by the Motueka Fruit growers' Co-operative Society took place ou Thursday last, when there was a large at tendance of shareholders and the general public. The ceremony was performed by Mr R. M'Keu/.ie, member for Motueka. who referred to the wonderful advances the place had made during the past two years, and referred to the fact that over 2000 acres were devoted to fruit culture in Nelson district, Motueka being practically the fruit garden of the colony. Reference was nude to a direct steam service to Wellington, which would enable producers lo quit at remunerative prices all surplus fruit.

The proprietors of The Waikato Times acknowledge, with pleasure, receipt of a, card from Mr 11. ,J. nslade, conveying seasonable greeting. The baths and domain at Te Aroha will pass from tin control of the Te Aroha Domain Hoard to that of the Tourist De partment on January Ist. The annual picnic of the scholars and friends of St. Peter's Sunday School is ar ranged for January Ist. It is probable that the picnickers will proceed by train to Tamahere. ft is expected that this week the rails on the Main Trunk Railway will be laid into the Taumaruinui station, on the head waters of the Wanganui River, about 175 miles south of Auckland. There are, how ever, two bridges still to be erected between Ongarue and Taumarunui before trains can run the entire distance. An analysis of the hot mineral waters of Helensville by the Government Analyst, Mr J. A. Pond, has shown that they closely resemble those of Te Aroha. They are abun dant in quantity, and it is believed that the Government contemplate taking them over with a view of making them an attrac tion to tourists. A Gisborne liotelkeeper (says the Gis borue Times) has taken the lead in the matter of the abolition of barmaids, and for the last few days has had the temerity to run his hotel with only male attendants behind the bar. Many young men in town have resented this, and no longer f equent the house in question. It is stated that they intend to boycott the hotel until the barmaids are reinstated. We .have to acknowledge the leceipt of a characteristic card from the Observer office, bearing the inscription " It is a sea of happiness with us, how do you feel?" We have interviewed the I'.D. on the subject, who informs us that he anticipates feeling better after dinner to-morrow. In the meantime we look forward to spending as convivial a Christmas as the two mm in the boat depicted on the souvenir appear to be enjoying. Mr T. 11. Bosworth announces by adver" tisement that he is now prepared to tune pianos and organs throughout the Waikato. He holds a testimonial for tuning from .Messrs. W. H. Paling and Co. of Sydney, Brisbane, and Newcastle, probably the principal Music House in Australasia. Mr Bosworth has a special arrangement for tuning by the year, and we would point out that it is a decided advantage to have a tuner resident in the district, who may be called on at short notice. Mr F. Henwood, of Kihikihi, Waikato has in his possession an enormous egg laid by a Minorca fowl, owned by Mr D. Mere dith, coach proprietor of that township. It measures 3Jin in length and 74in in circumference. When they started to blow it they discovered that enclosed in the big egg was another ordinary-sized hen's egg. Mr Henwood intends to forward it to Mr Mr Cheeseman, of Auckland, as a curiosity. The Minorca undoubtedly broke the record, but, sad to say, died in doing so. Tho importance of a ship's cook was illustrated on Tuesday ("says the Welling ton Post), when the Dingadee, which had left for Greymouth in the afternoon, re turned to the wharf. When the vessel was some miles out it was discovered that the cook was not on boaid, and as going to sea without a cook is almost as bad as going without a compass Captain Dilner put his helm over and came back to look for the missing chef. That worthy wa3 found on the wharf gazing reproachfully at the place where his ship had been, and in a few minutes he was busy in the galley, and the voya ;e was recommenced. A Maori named Eruera Wirihana (Ed win Wilson) who enjoyed the distinction of being the oldest native in the Pelorus dis trict, died near Havelock recently. The Pelorus Guardian states that deceased had for about 32 years carried on a store in the vicinity of Canvastown, and was reported to be close upon 95 years of age; certain it is that he was a young man when Rau paraha made his fearful descent upon the Wairau, Awatere, and Pelorus Yalleys in IN2S, for he used to relate, with great gusto, how he managed to escape to the bush during the raid. Mr Cameron. Inspector of New Zealand Dairy Produce at Home, reports, under date Nov. 14, that the first lot of New Zea land butter for the season reached London by tho Whakatane ou Nov. 6. in splen did condition. The whole of it was from the Auckland district. At the time of writing, buyers, in face of the large quan tities of butter stored, were somewhat in clined to hold off the market to see how things might settle before purchasing, and consequently business was not active. The cheese market, however, was strong, and values were likely to be maintained, as stocks are short. Mr Cameron again urges factories to make each dozen half white cheese and half coloured. Experiments have recently been made in France regarding the value of salt in the dietary of sheep. Three lots of a flock were treated identically in the matter of food, except that one lot had no salt sup plied,asecondhalf had an ounce given them every day, and the rest three-quarters of an ounce. The results seemed to show that an allowance of half an ounce of salt was best suited to the wants of the animals. Those sheep receiving this quantity gained in weight in a given time more that those which had no suit, and 14lb more than those that leceived three-quarters of an ounce. Moreover, all the sheep supplied with the condiment made ljlb more wool, and had a bctler fleece than th-.'se which had uu salt. Possibly a good deal would depend ou the soil upon which the. Sucks were pastured, and the geogr phical posi tion. —London Telegraph. Tiv North blan.l M tin Trunk Railway C i u<t rep .."ts that Mr C. R.

GRUESOME DISCOVERY. TWO YOUTHS BURNT TO DEATH (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) DAX X E V1I! KE, This Day• A gruesome discovery has been made on a bush section at the foot of the hills at Umutaoroa district, some nine miles and a half from Dannevirke. Some weeks ago a Norsewood settler, named Wood, sent his two sons, John, aged 21 years, and William aged 13, to a section at Umutaoroa t) live. The youths were employed bushfelling, and were last seen on the 9th November, when they were visited by another brother. Yes terday their father went with a trap to convey his sons home to spend Christmas, when he was horrified to find the camp burn tdown, and the remains of his two sons among the debris. CRICKET. A DISPUTE SYDNEY, December' 22. Trouble is threatened in connection with thy remaining iut >r-State cricket matches, owing to the members of the Australian Eleven refusing to play either with or against Worrall. The reason given is that when the Australians were in "England Wor rall wrote to the umpire, Mr Phillips, urg ing him, if he wished to make a name for himself, to " no ball " Noble and S tunders, ou the ground that their deliveries were unfair. The New South Wales and Vic torian Associations are considering the posi tion. Received Dec 23, 9.15 p.m MELBOURNE, December 23 At a meeting ot the Cricket Association a letter signed by Darling and Trumble was read, stating the Australian Eleven unanimously decided not to play witb Worrall, owing to the Phillips incident. After a lengthly discussion, Worrall an nounced his intention to voluntarily with draw from the current season's inter-Stats engagements. The difficulty thus ended.

There hai bsen persistent rumour attri buting to Lord Curzon ncx'"- year returning home iwr!t-s Mr 11. W. Lucy). The im pression is strengthened by the erroneous hi'lief that five years is the limit of the Vice royalty. It is tru« that aoine of Lord Curzon's predecessors, have gladly retired frotn the lofty but one ous post on the ter mination of five years' service, and next autumn five years will have e : aps,'d since Lord Curzon went out to Cal cutta Actually, brstmvai of the office, un like that of l».-iser Governorships, is u ac companied by lapse of time. Doubt on the subject is relieved by a private letter just received in London in which Lord Curzon speaks of his return " in a few years time." Many of the works inaugurated under his personal *upo vision are still incomplete. Until they are fully accomplished and fairly set going, he would, he adds, regard it as an abnegation of duty to <juit India. " Barring contingencies" he will hold on to the end. The main contingency con templated is the state of his health. It is just now in a condition that leaves no ground for anxiety. Hard work always agreed with Lord Curzon, and so does India. He has been litterally slaving in personal supervision of the arrangements for the Dubar, yet he finds time to write with his own hand to an old friend a four-page quarto letter, brimming with high spirits, delight in his work and hope forladist. A COLONIAL INDUSTRY. Public attention lias been dr;f»n,**Wbui time to time, to the desirability of produc ing within the ''oluny as largo a proportion as possible of our many rtquiremoiiis. It has been shown how various avenues of em ployment co i d thus be opened up, besides maktug us a people more reliant up >n our own resources. Amongst the industries brought under notice, not the least imp- or. tant is that of the manufacture of am munition, which is an essential 'n the defence of the colony, and the great advan tages of such a manufactory in the < 'olony have been pointed out. especially in the event of hostilities with a foreign Power. India and Canada have their ammunition factories, while there are six in 1 ireat Britain, and two in the United Hates of America. South of the Equator, however, the Colonial Ammunition Company stands alone in this respect. This Compauy first started operations at Auckland in 1825, with a staff of from 20 to 10, but their factory in the northern city now covers an area of over ]-acre, and employs upwards of lo ) persons: in addition to which the Company also exteude 1 their business to Australia, where their works are much more extensive than those in Xew Zealand. I his Company is to-day not only recog nised by the Governments of Xew Zealand and Federated Australia, but also by the Imperial War Office, as an ammunition fac tory of considerable importance to the de fence of the Commonwealth of Australia and New Zealand and their woiks both in Australia and New Zealand are every year being enlarged to enable the Company to cope with their ever-increasing business, and with every emergency as regards the keeping up of the supply of military am munition in times of both peace and war. There are some two or three brass manu factories in the United States, and about four in Great Britain, which firms feed the ammunition factories in those countries. The Colonial Ammunition Company, how ever, are not manufacturers of explosives (cordite, gunpowder, etc.) Xor yet of the raw materials required for the manufacture of ammunition, viz,, brass, cupro, nioktsl and paper. It is pleasing to note, though, that the Company are now starting the manufacture in Australia of material brass and cupro nickle—to feed their Aus tralasian factories. Explosives, however, will not be manufactured bv this C'ompany» as the plant necessary would be very costly in proportion to the small annual require* meut of Xew Zealand, wnicu could be turned out in a few weeks —thus the plant and employees would remain idle for the rest of the year; uuless, perhaps, the manu facture of blasting powder for mining pur poses were increased sufficiently to engage the hands when the stock of cordite re quired for the colony had been turned out. Perhaps it is not generally known that each '303 cartridge as used by the Volun teers and the New Zealand Forces, passes through 58 machines at the works in Auck land, before it is turned out in the state the Volunteers receive it, while each cartridge is handled over ICO times in the process of manufacture, gauging, and examination. The ordinary 12 bore shot cartridge (paper shell) before it reaches the sportsman pas ses through 85 operations during the pro cess of its manufacture. The Company make over 1000 different tools at the Aiwfe*' land works for placing in the various ma chines for ammunition making, which in many cases are made to gauge within half a thousandth part of an inch, while the largest limit is .001 of an inch. Only spe cially prepared steel can be used in the manufacture of the tools, and is procured from the steel manufacturers who make a speciality of this in their trade. To those who have not visited the works, this will give some idea of the extent of the manufacture and work as carried out by this Company in Auckland, whose sport ing and military ammunition has made a name for itself in Australia and New Zea land for quality and finish, and on many occasions world's records have been put up by those using it. (juite lately, several records have been made with its sporting ammunition in New Zealand, which it would be hard to beat. The company have in. vented some very valuable improvements in ammunition, their bi-coucave waddiDg being especially recommended to sports men. The Colonial Ammunition Company de serve great croditfor the enterprise, ability and perseverance displayed in starting and carrying out with such conspicuous success the manufacture of ammunition, and for the high standard it has attained both in New Zealand and Australia, for its manu factures, while it is also pleasing to notice the support extended to its products by the public. It is worthy of remark that the Company has reached its present satis factory position without the support of a protective duty, as the tariff on loaded ammunition imported into New Zealand is Is 6d per 10J, as against the payment by the Company of Is s|d per 100 duty on powder and shot to load the New Zealand product. Major John Whitney, lately known as Capt. Whitney, is the general manager for Australasia, aud Mr Arthur Cecil Whitney is the manager and attorney Tor the New Zealand branch. We are confident that, in tendering the Company our best wishes for continued and increased prosperity, we have the hearty approval of all interested in the welfare of colonial enterprise. OTOROHANGA SPORTS. From our own Correspondent. The attendance at the Otorohanga Races and Sports, held on Saturday last, was good, and a pleasant day's sport was enjoy ed.

After a <[ui<-( night the Arehbidiop of Canterbury collapsed at 7.30 this morning. The nurses summoned his wile, two sons, and his chaplain. He was then semi-conscious aud speech less, and died at 8. i At a recent private communion in his bedroom the Archbishop delivered an impressive and affecting farewell to his family and household. The Rishops of York and London were also present. [The Most Kev. Frederick Temple, P.O. D. D. L.L.D., Primato of all England, was born at Santa Maura, lonian Islands, in IS2I. lie was educated at Blundell's School, Tiverton, ind Balliol College, Ox hud, where he won the distinction of Ist ■•lass in classics and mathatnatios. He was elected fellow of Balliol College on the lilun cltsll Foundation in lfj-13; principal of Kuel ler llall in ISIS; inspector of Training Colleges in ISS!J, receiving the appointment of headmaster of Rugby School two years later. In I,S'!!> he was consecrated Bishop of Exeter, being translated to London in 1885. Dr. Temple was made Archbishop of Canterbury on the death of Archbishop of Benson in lsi»6. As a modern example of the poor scholar, he won his way to highest office without the aid of patrons or money. On his appointn.ent to Rugby he was thought unorthodox and Liberal, and upon his elevation to the See of Exeter there were many protests. The deceased prelate's sturdy independence, hatred of shams and brusqueness with sycophants made all admire him. A rchbishop Temple was an unceasing worker and a teetotaller and a prominent Temperance advocate. Recently his physical weakness gave great anxiety to his friends, and all will remem ber that duriug the Coronation ceremony the reverend gentleman had to be support ed by two bishops. On his last appearauce in the House of Lords a week ago, he col lapsed during the delivery of asti.r'ng speech against the Education Bill, and never recovered, the cause of death being senile dec.iy. Mrs Temple is one of the best known cliuichwomen in England, aud has in every way been a worthy helpmate of her illustrious husband.; GENERAL ITEMS. LONDON, Dec. 2:5.

THE ELINGAMITE ENQUIRY. (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) AUCKLAND, This Day. At the Elingamito enquiry Andrew Rossie stated that there seemed to be some difficulty in getting the boats out. Wit ness eventually jrot on to one of the rafts, and they asked the purser to take the stewardess aboard his boat, but the purser called back as well as witness could under stand that the boat was leaking, and there fore lie was unable to take her, and told them to keep the rafts together, and that he would find and come back for them. Witness said we asked those on the other raft, as it was apparently better, and was clear of water, to take the stewardess aboard, and she said " Yes, take me aboard I shall have a better chance on yours, this is under-water. "The other raft apparently tried to get close to us, but they were evidently afraid to do so for fear of a collision which might damage the cylinder, 'the distance between the two rafts was too great for the stewardess to jump, and we were aft aid to let her, for fear she would be drowned. After evidence of a similar nature, Mr To]e asked the Court whether he should call further evidence. Mr Haselden replied that he thought the Marine Department had called sufficient unless there was any special evidence the nature of which should be stated. The engineers, recalled, explained that the hammering mentioned by H'etherelt was caused by a plug being hammered into the qverHcw pipe. Witness put a spanner on tho feed cock to turn it.

The bc-t; . ver leaves China, the second best is nearly all sent to Russia, tha third, fourth, fifth and other descend ing grades come to Australia. Happily the imports o. ; .hina Tei are lessening steadily, and cor respondingly those of Coy lon are going up. Ceylon tea ia grown in a British Colony and Ceylon is the picked spot of earth for tea grow ing. All Ceylon tea is good ; the bent is exquisite, and no othor tea grown in any othor part of the world can in any way compare with it. The best Ceylon tea is the famous which is picked on the mountain heights of the Island, packed in lead on the spot where it is grown, and sent down to Australia to the agents of the Nirvana Co., fresh by every mail.

GROCERS' MARKET QUOTATIONS The following are the quotations for butter and eggs for the week ending .January ', 1903, as fixed by the Dairy Produce Committee: Factory butter, lid per lb; separator butter, bd; farmers' butter (best), 7d : farmers' butter (second quality] (id: eggs. Sd. Suppliers of eggs have been holding back, as usual, for a big price, with the inevitable result that-the market is now Hooded with eggs of a very questionable character. We wonder when farmers will realise that eggs are a perish able article, ami that l< <.:et I ho best price they must reach the mark.'t in a fresh con dition. The ileum d f<> eggs is now much less than it was a fortnight ago, and there is no market outside Auckland. THE LONDON RABBIT MARKET. SYDNEY. Dec. 24. The (Jov.'i'nuient'a London commercial agent, reporting on the market tor rabbits and hares, says there is a steady and per ma tent demand for rabbits, and the indus try is well worthy of careful fostering. He points out that Victorian and New Zealand rabbits bring a shilling a case more than New South Wales rabbits, owing to the unsuitable packing and inferior quality of the latter. He strongly urges the necessity for improvement in these directions, if New South Wales is to retain her position in the trade. During the 10 months of the pre sent year a53,334cwt of rabbits have been imported into Britain, Victoria supplying 110,723: New Zealand, !Hi,:iiO: New South Wales, 6549; and South Australia., 1417 tut AUSTRALIAN" MARKETS.

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 27, 1902. A NEGLECTED SPORT. At this festive season of the year, the thoughts of all turn naturally from the cares and stress of business and toil to the lighter merrier enjoyment of holidays and sports: even those who, long since past the prime of life, no more can bear an active part in the pleasures of youth, look with approv ing eye, and encourage with kindly presence, the innocent amusement of the younger generation. From the wee tot who has just learned to lisp the name of ''Santa Claus," to the grey-haired time-worn veteran of the world's strife, through the intervening grades of health and beauty, all, for the time being, direct their energies to the one end, enjoyment of the pre sent. The dead past can bury its dead : the future is yet un born, and will bear its own burdens : let us enjoy ourselves : that is the cry from countless hearts this festive time. And well it is that such a relaxation exists, for the mind is refreshed and the body streng thened by these breathing spaces. Christmas comes at the best and brightest season of the Nesv Zealand year, and therefore all our schemes for festivity centre on outdoor recrea tions, snorts, picnics, or excursions. From the consideration of these seasonal amusements, our thoughts naturallv turn to sport in genera! : those institutions which are ever with us, ami afford pleasure and profit: whenever a brief moment can be snatched from the more pro-uac round of existence. We in Hamilton have our tennis club, cricket and football clubs, our racing club and many othe.s in a mote or less flourishing condition, all of them very desirable in their way. Hut as is the case in ma" oilier directions, the residents of ! '■■■•■ [lorough do not appear to be ithve in the fact that one of the most manly, the most invigorating, health ful and useful pastime is absolutely neglected by our young people. We refer to swimming—acknowledged by all to be a most b .meficial pastime and a valuable accomplishment. With that beautiful sheet of water, the Hamilton Lake, almost at our doors, it seems incredible to the stranger when told that the art of natation is practically an unknown art in Hamil ton, and thai save for a few enthusiasts who indulge in the luxury of ;i morning or evening dip, the Lake possesses little attraction to the aver age resident, who is content to allow this reproach to the Borough to re main year after year, the few spas modic attempts at improvement made by public-spirited gentlemen serving only to emphasise the general indiffer ence. Our present intention, how ever, is not to enlarge on the latent beauties of the Lake, but to endeavour to arouse public interest in it scheme which has been mooted for some time past —namely, the formation of a swimming club where, under the tu ition of experienced swimmers, our boys and girls might be taught an accomplishment which, besides afford ing innocent recreation and conducing in a large degree to health, may happily prove the means of saving life. Far be it from us to underrate the benefits derived from a systema tic commonsense course of any other form of recreation, but we cannot re frain from advocating swimming as equal in advantages and utility to any sports indulged in by our youth. This is recognised all over the world, and has been so right down the ages, for the earliest records tell us of the feats of swimmers in the pursuit of fame or happiness. Tn our own colony the teaching of swimming is rapidly gaining a place in the school curricula, while clubs for its encouragement are to be found in almost every borough. Certain it is that the sport has made great strides of recent years, and southern papers state that this season will be the most successful yet experienced in the South Island. So greatly are the Southern people impressed with the desirability of young persons being able to swim, that the North Canter bury Board of Education has ap pointed a swimming instructor who visits all those schools which possess baths, and puts the pupils through a regular course of instruction in swim ming and life saving. This Borough is now rousing from the soporose state in which it has hithertobeen con tent to remain,and reforms are gradu ally being instituted which promise to transform the whole town. We trust that this good influence will extend itself in the direction we have indi cated. This matter is one which the members of the school committees might with profit take up, for, even if it be impossible to provide baths at the schools, in the event of a properly organised club being formed and a convenient bathing house erec ted on the lake, the school ch ldren would be at liberty to use the baths, and probably some arrangement would be made for the attendance of one or more members to instruct the learners, it is sincerely to be hoped that Hamilton is possessed of sufficient public spirit and foresight to further any scheme which makes in the direc tion indicated, and that ere long the gentle art of natation will be in gener al favour amongst young and old of both sexes. LOCAL AND GENERAL Yesterday a native child at Whatawhata was aceidently shot through the leg by a pellet from a pea rifle, while playing with some companions. Dr. Going w.is called in and dressed the wound which is not a serious one. Japanese have no ear lobes. This is a discovery which has apparently been made for the first time by Dr. von der Hoyden, director of the Public Hospital in Yokohama. Even if he is not the first to discover it, he is certainly the first to draw public attention to it. The absence of ear lobes, he claims, is in some respects the most marked distinction between Japanese and Europeans, and he maintains that the probable reason why the latter have lobes is because their ancestors for many genera tions wor» very heavy earrings. During the cross-examination of wit nesses t.t Gore on Wednesday in the No license inquiry the falibility of watches and clocks in general was in abundant evidence, says the Dunedin Star. One witness caused some amusement by stating that his watch sometimes took fits and stopped, and that he fixed the time by his watcn on the day of election because " he had his clothes on." and he only wore his watch whGn his clothes were on. The explanation of the last extraordinary statement is that the witness meant by " having his clothes on " that his Sunday attire was worn. Another witness was in doubt as to whether some one else's watch was five or ten minutes faster or slower than his own—he didn't know which. One other witness convulsed the Court by looking defiantly at Mr Han lon and evidently mistaking him for op posing counsel, saying .- " You're not going to foozle me going wrong with a watch. I take my time from my hall clock." The Sheffield Telegraph of October 4, re ferring to the Colonial Conference, says : " The result of the conference between Mr Chamberlain and the Premiers of our self governing colonies cannot be considered in any other light than a veritable triumph for the Colonial Secretary. With the pub lication to-night of the details of the Con ference, we are appreciably nearer that great Imperial zollverein upon which Mr Chamberlain has set his mind. Politicians however, even the most enthusiastic Cham berlainites, do not anticipate that the reso lutions come to by the Colonial Secretary and the colonial Premiers will pa s into law until many years have fled: but the allele questi.iii of Imperial relations has b-en foo:i-'?r!, a;.d in • Empire has been given a b .si.-, n which to work. If the re solution « are ahead of present dcy political opinion they are in the path along which p dUical opinion is travelling. It is charac teristic of Nlr Seddon that seven of the important of the motions, including fie institution of a preferential tarilf.shonld come from him. Evidently within the closed doorj of tie Colonial Offi-o ho has been a? little backward as when faced with an audience loss distinguished."

A movement has been inaugurated by the Ashburton Agricultural and Pastoral Association to erect a suitable memento to the memory of the late Mr John <trigg, of Longbeach, one of the pioneers of the freez ing industry. The Cambridge tradespeople were phen omenally busy on Christmas Eve, many of them having record takings. The advances made by the dairying indushy and the influx of new settlers are factors which have contributed to this prosperous state of affairs. Lieutenant-Colonel Davies, C.8., officer commanding the Auckland Volunteer Dis trict has instructed Major Iteid to convene a meeting of the Hamilton Cadet Corps for Wednesday next at 8 p.m., when members not already enrolled will be sworn in, and tbej company placed on a permanent basis. Mr Duncan, supervising valuer on the Land Purchase Board, was in Hamil ton, on Wednesday, and will spend his holidays in Raglan." It is understood that one of the farms recently offered to the Government has been recommended for purchase in connection with the Hamilton close settlement scheme. At the Cambridge police court, yester day, before Mr T. Wells, J.P., Charles Hart was charged on the information of Constable McGilp with the theft of a sum of money from a fellow employee of Mr T. L. Saulbrey. Mr W. F. Buckland repre sented the accused, and applied for bail, but objection being raised by Constable McGilp, it was not granten. The case was reminded till Tuesday next. Our Kawhia correspondent wired on Wednesday : John Sturmey, James Doyle, Robert Coutts and J. Brooke were charged before Messrs Hamilton and Buckendge, J.P.s, this morning with stealing thirty three bottles of whisky, vaiue £8 ss. A remand to Te Awamutu on the 2nd prox. was asked for by the police, and granted by the bench. A very smart capture was effected in this matter by Constable Mc- Carthy. No time is being lost in pushing on the Cambridge waterworks. The tower is com plete, an engine shed has also been con structed and an oil engine placed in posi tion, a reservoir having a filter bed in it has been made at the source of the spring, this latter being connected by 3-inch steel pipes to the engine-houoe and water tower. Pretty well all the pipes have been de posited in the various streets ready for lay ing, the work of which from the water tower has already been begun. Even in the present dry season, about 20U,000 gallons of water are daily running away. The following replies have been received by the North Island Maiu Trunk Railway League with reference to the meeting to be. held on January 5, 1903 :—From Mr Her sies, M.H.R,: " Your circular of the ISth to hand. I shall be in Aucklahd on the sth, so shall most likely be able'to attend the proposed meeting." From Mr Lang, M.H.R. : " I acknowledge receipt of your letter of the 18th inst., and I expect to be able to attend the meeting on Monday, January 5." From Mr Kirkbride,' M.H.R " If I possibly can I will be present at your meeting oi January s,in the Harbour Board room. You can rely on my support to further the object of your league." It is with regro 1 that we record the death of Mrs Macintyre, which occurred suddenly at Ngaruawahia, on Christmas Day. As Miss Maggie Patterson, the deceased lady was well known throughout Waikato as a singer of more than average ability, and her ready aid for charitable objects was always largely availed of. Mrs Macintyre took a keen interest in the welfare of the Ngaruawahia Rowing Club, in whose ladies' team she for mauy years occupied a place. Previous to her marriage, whi<h took place some eighteen months ago, Mis Macintyre acted as correspondent for the Waikato Times. Great sympathy is ex pressed for the family of the deceased lady whose untimely death at the age of 26 is deplored throughout the whole dis trict. The funeral, which took place yes terday, was attended by a large number of residents from all parts of the surround ing districts. The service at the house was conducted by Mr Adams, of Hamilton, and at the graveside by Revd. T. Walls, of Te Aroha, who paid a most eloquent tri bute to the memory of deceased. The Premier has received a letter from an ex-New Zealander now resident in the Mallee district of Victoria, at Bulga, about twelve miles from Swan Hill, in which he gives some account of the sufferings of the farmers from the drought. He says:—"The farmers and others are enduring *reat hard ships through the drought, and their re ports of their sufferings are not in the slightest exaggerated. They are in a ter rible state. We are working like niggers to keep body and soul together, and we don't know the day our credit will be stopped. If that hap pens, God knows what ve will do. All our horses aro dead but ;wo, and these are very poor. Food is so dear that it takes a man all his time to feed his hprse and himself, let alone his wife and his children, • It i u> t through lidnss, bad management, or extrava giiic we are in th" straits we are, God knows : for, with a'l man's cleverness or ingenuity, he cannot make it rain, and we must recognise our ut?c : ' helplessness in that respect. Most farmers are tied down haid and foot by the storekeepers, and we have to pay monstrous prices tor our together with iuterust on the top of that. No man can siuvivj long under exiting conditions."

A good anecdote is told by the Bishop of Minnesota of the sarcastic powers of the the Indian. „"I was holding," says Bishop Whipple, "service near tin Indian village camp. My things were scattered about in a lodge, and when I was going out i asked the chief if it was safe to leave them there while I went to the village to h..< I a ser vice. " V-s," he said, "perfectly saie. There is not a white man within a linn Lvd miles! " English society tsars the Sc itsinam gees faster nowalays than it us • 1 to in the for ties and fifties. Willi the increase in the rate of living omes a decrease in the re serve and charm and even maidenly modesty of many of the un, iarried women, says one of them who has been" led to see tht?folly of her ways." She declares they smoke, drink, gamble, and swear—all these possibly in less degree than young men would do, but still they are vices, and unworthy of true womanhood. How far all this is true probably only the society young ladies themselves would be in a position to tell. Lord Selborne has decided to abandon the old practice of going to heathen mytho logy for names of new warships, and in future till vessels will be named after countries, counties, and towns. The names of the two mighty battleships immediately to be laid down have just been announced. They are Xow Zealand and Hindostan. There already are among battleships a Dominion, a Commonwealth, a London, and an Edinburgh, and it is said that the two new armoured cruisers will be named Natal and Newfoundland. The idea of the Admiralty is to interest countries, counties, and towns in the ships that bear their names, and by this way to encourage re cruiting for the Navy. Already sixteen cruisers have been called after various counties. Farmers who have taken up the breeding of pigs are just at the present time (say's the Palmerston Times) finding the indus try a fairly profitable one. Not only is there a big demand for well topped off piers, but the price is a penny a pound higher than last year, which, on a fair-sized baconer, is equal to an advance in price of from twelve to fifteen shillings. We have been informed that the quality of the pigs bought in this district by the representa tives of bacon-curing companies has been above the average, which fact is t iken as evidence that farmers are realising the ad vantages of pursuing more up-to-date methods of pig raising than has been their custom in the past. The Geologist of the Mines recently received samples of dust found on the roof of the Hon. H. Feldwick's house in Invercargill on 13th November. Mr Feld wick was anxious to know whether the dust had come from Australia, and thc_ Mines Department accordingly asked the vernment Analyst (Dr. M'Laurin) to decide the point. The Analyst reports that the dust is of a light chocolate colour and very finely divided. It has, he says, been sug gosted that the dust has been borne from Australia, and strong confirmation of that supposition is found in the fact that a sample of dust which fellas "blood-rain" in Victoria on 27th December, 1896, obtained from Sir J. Hector, was almost identical in ap pearance with that from LuvercargilC' " Further, the microscopic examination of ' the two samples shows that the resem blance does not stop at the general ap peerance of the materials, but extends to their structure. Dr. M'Laurin believes therefore that the dust which fell in Inver cargill had its origin in Australia. The Empire Coy. supply Choice Cigars wholesale.

After visiting the districts named, the organising director of the Farmers' Union reports that less than 10 per cent of the 1 r inches in the Hawke's Bay, Wellington, iindTaran.k provinces require attention. Over 200 are in active operation. The new basis of organi;at'oi, which" has been draffe 1, provides for district meetings, for local wants and divisional sections for elec toral purposes. The provincial executive remain undisturbed. The matter will be considered by the colonial executive in June. Auckland and Poverty Biy will be visited after the holidays. THE HOLIDAYS. Christmas in Hamilton passed off very quietly as there were no public functions of any kind, residents having to rely on their own resources for ,aumsement. On Christmas Eve, many left by rail for Auck land and elsewhere, and the railway traffic generally was very heavy, all trains being loaded. As the day wore on the streets of the Borough presented quite an animated appearance, while the crowd in Victoria street during the evening was said to be the largest yet seen in Hamilton. Al though no attempt at decoration had been made by tradesmen the shop windows dis played the various commodities for sale in the most attractive manner, and business men state that their takings for the day are much greater than on previous yeats. One noticeable omission was the absence oi any music, and this fact was unfavouraby commented upon by visitors to the town, On Christmas Day, special services we;e held in St. Peter's Chnrch, which had bein tastefully decorated for the occasion. I*ie sermons in the morning were preached by the Row D. C. Bates, and in the evening M the Rev. G. Maunsell, who, taking as b> text " Glory to God in the Highest," n- the fact that it was on Christmsa-^ - Day, 1814, when the first sermon was preached in New Zealand. He instanced the growth of Christianity by sayiug that 12 years after the Crucifixion the Gospel was preached in 30 languages only, where?.. ' it is now preached in 3 0. There wore good congregations at all the services. High mass was celebrated at St. Mary's' Roman Catholic Church on Christinas morning, the Rev. Father Darby officiat ing. Oa Boxing Pay private picnics were the order of the day, a largj number of pet pie taking advantage of the excursion train for a trip to Te Aroha or the Thames, where the annual races were held. On both days the weather was bright and warm, and the pleasure secke:s all spent a most enjoyable holiday. CAMBRIDGE. The Christinas holidays passed off quiet ly at Cambridge. About the usual number of visitors from Auckland and eltewhere spent their holidays in the township. The bowlers frequented their green pretty con stantly, while a few devotees of tennis were to be seen playing on both the asphalt and the sand courts. Driving parties in large numbers were out during both days. THE WAIKATO TIMES, SATURDAY DECEMBER 27 1902 1 HOAjE&Co'e PURE TEAS ~ _ \Um?sU M I S S E N, KNOX STREET, HAMILTON.

In the course of an article published a day or two ago on "The Cost of Living," reference was made to the shortage of wheat at the present time, and a quotation was made from a letter sent by a milling tirm to a 1 >cal buyer, asserting that several mills were so hard put to it to obtain sup plies of milling wheat that they were unable t<> comply with orders. It was stated, furthermore, that the shortage was likely to continue for at least several months to come—until the new crop was available in April next—and that there was likelihood of there being a further rise in the price of wheat rather than a fall. In discussing this aspect of the cost of living with the Presi dent of the New Zealand Master Bakers' Union, the question was asked whether the '•ontemplated importations of American and Argentine wheat and flour was likely to effect the situation. He thought not, and ventured the further opinion that the imported article could not compete with the New Zealand-grown cereal. Thy last shipment brought to the colony actually cost more, and the quality was indifferent, lu his opinion New Zealand-grown flour was worth, for baking purposes, Jc:\ per ton more than the foreign article. AVe could not look to Australia for supplies, because there was a general shortage there, owing to the drought. On this sul.ject he re°- jferred to an article in a recent issue of the | Australasian Bakers' and Cont'ectioners'Joui- Jnal, which is worth quoting. I " From the information to Land it now says the writer editorially, " that the wheat crop in Queensland will be prac tically a total failure, not more than 2?*,0O0 bushels being expected, which will Uneven sutflce for seed, so that Queeus lasL wil require to import all her bread stufls and some seed-wheat. In New South Wales the crop is not expected to go more thas 3,500,000 bushels, which will leave a shoAago of 7,0110,000 bushels ; n that Slate. ('JMrsday's cable message indicates that Ikfilshortage has been underestimated by over*-, 00,000 bushels, and that the New SouVi Wales State will tequiro to import L),(j00jO»O bushels, or an equivalent in flour. Victotia may return 4,000,000 bushels, Ell leave a deficiency of i>,000,000 So in the three ;ove-mentioned will amount to lOrt of 17,000,(100 bushels, and, as lat South Australia has a surplus DO, and that Tasmania and West supply their own needs, the ige in the Commonwealth on re ts will .be 13,000,000 bushels." was argued, would represent a money )0.-s id il\ • cm nmunity of £ 4,575,1"j{) !m which in:: t !• .'dod the value of .."). ii .<( u biwho's .jr so iiva lable for export in 1 r iier years.

In another article, the same journal evidently reckons that this colony may be largely drawn upon during tho coming year for wheat supplies, as it says: "As wheat was extensively sown in Xew Zealand this season, that colony will probably have some millions yf bushels to export." The interim return issued by the Agri cultural Department, and published on Thursday, Conveys information regarding the area under crop in this colony this sea son, and included the satisfactory informa tion that the acreage in wheat had increas ed by 8'i,812 acres. If the crops conic up to expectation, and it is believed that they generally will, there seems every probabil ity that supplies, in tins colony at least, will be plentiful in the course of a few months. Until then, apparently, we shall have to bear the burdon of paying a high price for the staple article of food with the best grace possible—unless millers and bakers are mistaken in their calculations and find that the foreign competition is able to rise to the occasion and supply the present want at prices winch will command acceptance. —Evening Post. PIAKO COUNTY COUNCIL. The monthly meeting of the Piako County Council was held at the Council Chambers, Morrinsville, on Friday, when there were present:—Councillors \Y. P. Chepmell (chairman). McCaw, Hnckland, Gavin, Harrison, Larney, Brady, T. Bel lamy, Ring. WORKS. It was resolved that tho Patetere and Taotaoroa iuombe.s be .1 Committee to in spect and report re taking over the Horo Horo Cambridge road. Foreman Wattain forwarded specifications for i - aiting gravel at Cordon and Waira kan. It was decided to call tenders return able at next meeting. Cr, Harrison said he had visited the gravel pit complained of by Floyd. Jt was a certain amount of detriment to him ; but he believed it was more so to Morgan. Tho pit was certainly not in a nice place, and he considered it ought to be rilled in.—lt was decided to till the pit up. ENGINEERING EXPENSES. In response to a request from Cr. Larney, the Clerk reported that the amount of engineering expenses since the services of a per nanent engineer was dispensed with, in July, lsy.3, amounted to £idO 6s, an average of £'i'S per year. Cr. Larney said of course tin're were other items belonging to the Road Board, lie contended it would be far better to employ a permanont engine >.r and have the roads made in a uniform way. At present there was no system about tho way the work was carried rait. A professional man should be at the head of affairs. Tho other members e.iuld not see things in tho same light as Cr. Larney. It was seated the new bridges just erected would not require any further overhauling by an engineer for many years. The wrecking of bridges and approaches by storm water could not be helped. Cr. barney : An engineer could travel all over the country and see that roads and bridges were properly attended to in a sys tematic manner. After every storm duriny the winter rjads and bridges are swept away. Cr. Gavin : The Thames and Ohinemuri Counties permanent engineeers are engag ed, and yet the bridges suffer just tho same, they are in t'.ie same position. Cr. McCaw s-iid no matter what was donet>Q approaches would wash away.as the shlfTgle cannot, withstand the elemeuts. Cr. Harrison said if the Load Board and Council combined they might engage a? engineer. '^ (Jr. McCaw said he was in favour of one local body governing the district. The Chairman explained that could only be done by vote of the ratepayers. Cr. Larney: I have been endeavouring for 5 or 0 years to get the two combined. The Chairmi.n said lie thought it would be very good if it could be arranged. CHAS'OE OK COUNTY OFFICE. Cr Larney moved bis notice of motion re changing County offices to Moninsville. After waiting some time the chairman said he would second the motion pro forma. Cr. Gavin said he would like to hear Cr. Larney speak on the motion. Since the Council office had been shifted to To xViqha it was proved the change had worked well for 3 years, and he thought it was better f r the majority of the ratepayers. He had asked the Clerk to compile figures a.-, to how the office was patronised when the Clerk visited Morrinsville. Cr. Larney said things had. changed for the better in Morrinsville district" 1 since then. Ho pointed out the large tract of land on the Lockerbie and AVaitoa estates being opened up for settlement, and intend ing settlers wanted to s?e plans of district, etc. Cr. McCaw said the. local agents for the estates, Messrs H. and J. Clifford, supplied plans an'l everything necessary to intend ing settlers. Cr. Bellamy said the Morrinsville people were certainly entitled to some considera tion, lie thought tho oflico should bo opened once or twice a week at Morrinsville, but he was not in favour of shifting it al together. The motion was put and lost, Cr. Larney remarking that he would bring up the question time after time, until justice was done to the western portion of the connty. There was a good deal of misrepresentation in the County. Some of the members' ideas of justie ' were very meagre. DOO COLLARS. The price of dog collars was fixed the same as last year, 2s bd for cdtle dogs and rabbiter's terriers, all others 10s. A pro position by Cr. McCaw that teiriersbels was lost. It was decided to appoint Mr Hill, tram way manager, as dog registrar for Te Aroha ridiny. IiRAIN* NEAR LARNEYS. It was resolved to leave the water table open as suggested by Cr barney. The Chairman said lie had inspected the drain, and considered it quite right to run water down the road. Cr. Larney asked where Farmer's bridge (referred to in the foreman's report) was situated. lie was not aware of such a structure ; perhaps, said Cr. barney, it is some monument erected in memory of the the late knew of " The Farmers,'' IrS ?uch many years ago.

THE "FARMERS' FAVORITE." TJDMEMBER: About 120,000 farmers have bought "Farmers' Favorite" 1\ Drills. This groat trade has been built up because the "Farmers' Favorite" has proved itself capablo of doing better work, with less cost for repairs, than any other. If you have a-,y doubt if it is the best to buy the " Favorite" or one of the so-calied cheap drills now being offered, write to some farmer who has been using drills, and has a good general knowledge of the different makes, always keeping in mind the fact that Mr Joseph Bam»-ii, President of the Waikato Farmer*' Club, bought the "Farmers' Favorite" after he had used other makes. WHY? We don't know, and, if we ask him, being interested, he might not care to tell u<, as we c mid use it as an advertisement. But he might tell you why ho bought it. If you are a private buyer " a*k him." SOLE AGENTS: New Zealand Loin and Mercantile Agency ■Company, Limited, HAMILTON. LiLIDTID FOR SALE. lANSDOWM ESTATE, Land .

China tea is not necessarily bad, but the greac chance is that it is j certainly you never get the best China Tea, nor yet the second, nor even the third best. The best never leaves China, the second best is nearly all sent to Russia, the third, fourth, fifth and other descend ing grades come to Australia. Happily the imports of China Tea are lessening steadily, and cor j respondingly those of Ceylon are going up. Ceylon tea is grown in j a British Colony and Ceylon is the picked spot of earth for tea grow | ing. All Ceylon tea is good ; the beat is exquisite,"and no other tea grown in any other part of the woild can in any way compare with it. The best Coylon tea is the famous which is picked on the "mountain heights of the Island, packed in lead on the spot where it is grown, ana sent down to Australia to the agents of the Nirvana Co., iresh by every mail.
