Only one tender was received last night for the proposed alteration to the cycling track in Victoria Park, viz., from I. Cooktiidy, hi •£»(). i'he tender was considered too high, and it now appears probable that the carrying out of the work is likely to be deferred for some time in spite of the efforts made by the Athletic Club to see an improvement made,

The Stratford Racing Club are in trouble. It appears that some time ago they allowed a private racing' match to be run off on their course and one of the hOrsfes engaged while galloping round, is alleged to have fallen foul of a chain placed across the track and was seriously injured. The owner is now suing the club for damages. A snowballing performance in Dannevirke resulted In a quarrel during which a pane of glass was broken. The outcome of the affair was that a young man named Jas. Robertson was brought before the Court.

The Wellington Racing Club has been offered 234 acres of land opposite the Rifle Range at Trentbam, about 17 miles from the city. It is a most suitable site for a racecourse, and the train runs almost on to the course.

Mr Robinson, captain of the New South wales representative Association footballers, in the course of an interview with a Wellington Post reporter, said his team are all most favorably impressed with New Zealand, so much so, that there is a probability that several of the team will return later on to take up their residence in the Colony. What struck the team most forcibly was that during the five weeks they had been in the Colony they had not come across a single beggar—a marked contrast to the condition of the States of the Commonwealth.

It is estimated that 43,000 people are anxious to see the football match —Great Britain v. New Zealand —to be played in Wellington next Saturday afternoon. The ground on which the match is to be played will, it is said, only accommodate 35,000 or at most 30,000 persons, so it is a question of what is to become of the remaining 15,000. It is presumed that.many on this account will not be able to view the match, and on that day it will resolve into a matter of first come first served at the gates. With the outward correspondence read at last night’s meeting of the Borough Council was the following —“ At a recent meeting of the above Council the following resolution was passed, That the Town Clerk be instructed to write to the member for the district, Mr J. Vile, in reference to the verandah for the railway station, State School, and Maori Cemetery.” With regard to the station verandah I think you are aware that the question was raised when the station was building, and a promise was given by the Government that the verandah should be added later. The State School is a disgrace to the education system of the colony, the Board to whom the matter has been frequently referred, places the blame on the Government, saying that the Government provides for new schools, the Board only keeps them in repair, yet in spite of the fact that a Government Health Inspector has utterly condemned the school built at least 26 years ago, children are still crowded into this rotten and unhealthy building. The Maori Cemetery was brought under your notice last session, and the Native Minister promised to try and get it conveyed to the control of this Council during this session.
