LATE LOCALS.
The death occurred at the Westport Hospital on Tuesday afternoon of Mr Edward Holden, of Quepn St. Deceased was a native of England. He had suffered considerably from diabetes for many years. He leaves a wife and family. This year is the jubilee of the totalised- in New Zealand. It came during .1879 (says the Dunedin “Star”) not as a trumpet blast, which is the original meaning of the wois jubilee, but in an apologetic and tentative way, laughed at by bookmakers, deemed by the public as little more than a toy. In effect it has revolutionised racing, placed its opponents in the shade, supplied the money for racing, and now, under protest, it assists the Consolidated Revenue to such an extent that the Minister for Finance cannot afford to let it go. The first instrument to appear in this/ district was at Forbury, at a D.J.C. meeting. It was a very small affair, on the SchiiUierling model. Mr W. F. .Tames possesses the remnant of that machine.
