On Saturday a football match was played at Bakaia between teams from the South Bakaia School and the Ashburton High School. Play was good all round, and the home team were victorious by five tries to nothing.

We draw our readers’ attention to the meeting which is to be held at tho Orange Hall this evening, for the purpose of forming a local branch of the Irish Loyal and Patriotic Union. As a number of persons came into town from the country on Friday evening in order to attend the meeting, not having heard of its postponement, we are requested to state that the postponement was unavoidable in consequence of several other meetings taking place that

evening. The meeting of ratepayers held at Tinwald last evening lor the purpose of discussing the desirableness of dissolving the Tinwald Town Board proved a Jlaxco. After a prolonged desultory discussion, a resolution affirming the ratepayers’ approval of the present constitution was carried by a large majority. At the B.M. Court this morning, before Mr H. 0. S. Baddeley, 8.M., J. F. Bntler was charged on two informations with allowing cows to wander at large, and was fined £1 12s Cd and costs. In the case, Spencer and Bozenberg, the evidence in which was taken on a previous Court day, judgment was given for the plaintiff for £lO and costs, defendant also to pay £2, to be reduced to Is on

certain harness being returned to the plain

till. In this case it will be remembered the snm of £ls was claimed for damages in connection with an alleged illegal seizure of horses and chattels belonging to the plaintiff. The Magistrate, attar commenting upon the evidence at some length, said it was plain that the defendant had no right to go upon the plaintiff’s land, and that, therefore, a

tresspass, though perhaps not a very serious one, had been committed. In connection with this he desired to warn people to take proper legal advice before setting out on snob expeditions. Two of the horses sued for had been recovered, and he did not consider there had been any proper demand lor the third. Under these circumstances be thought the amount for which he had given

judgment would meet the damage sustained. The usual weekly meeting of the Dawn of Peace Lodge, 1.0.G.T., was held last night, when one candidate was initiated. After the usual routine business had been disposed of, refreshments were handed round, and the remainder of the evening spent in an enjoyable, manner. A formal, though not the less sympathetic, farewell was taken of Bros J. W. Hardley and E. Alber, who are about to leave this town for the Kimberley goldfields. The Waterloo Cup, the coursing event of the season, will be run to-morrow. The stake is a fairly representative one,dogs from Auckland, Wellington, Kelson, Invercargill, Dunedin, Timaru, Oamaru, Ashburton and Christchurch being entered. The locally owned dog, Ringwood, which appropriated the Cup last year is second favorite. At the annual meeting of the Waimea Plains Railway Company, the Directors’ proposal to sell the line to the Government was adopted. The Chairman (Mr Wales) said if the rate had come in as expected the shareholders would have been.receiving 7 percent. It was stated the shareholders might expect to get two-third of their capital back. The Dunedin City Council met last night with the ostensible view of bolding an enquiry into the recent blasting accident. The Mayor stated he had not prepared his report, and that if the enquiry were to go on he would only allow councillors to speak once, and any questions must be put through him, It was decided to adjourn till the cases pending were settled. An arrangement has been come to in the minor oases, and others are in a fair way of being settled.

The funeral of the late Mr Robert Wilkin took place in Christchurch to-day.
