The Lady Mayor Again.
"SHE OUTWITS THE COUNCIL. A CROWD OF SIGHTSEERS DISAPPOINTED. (Per Press Association.) Auckland, This Day. There was an unexpected development at Onehunga last night, tne date of the ordinary meeting of the Borough Council. Two Councillors and a big crowd, including many visitors from Auckland, put in an appearance expecting a night's fun. Half-an-hour passed and the Lady Mayor and her supporters were conspicuous only by their absence. Cr Wade then arrived and stated he had met Mrs Yates in the street and she told him there would be no meeting of the Council that night. The disappointed audience then dispersed. Captain Yates, when interviewed, said the unexpected postponement of the meeting was : Mrs Yates had heard a number of strangers were going out from Auckland to attend the meeting, and that she, having another engagement, and being desirous to uphold the dignity of Ouehunga, had gone to town. When asked why the whole of the members present had not received notice he suid that of course if there was no quorum there would be no business done.
