Hanlon's Honesty.

. •'' -■ -.V. ~ -♦' •.■! : . Hanlon has been beaten again, very badly beaten if American accounts are to be believed, by Teenier, the champion of the. United Stages. The story, of the match is not very pleasant reading: 'lt is openly asserted that Hanlon -foresaw his defeat ft,nd"ifrteo:usly begged ,uisiop-2 ponent to dishonestly allow him to win. The report! goes i to say that Hanlon promised^ i£aUowe'dHoxw'inJ;ne rade onl the Hudson, to; loose one next year to Teeiner. The story ' seems incredible. Hanlon, ' when m England, always row.cd straight,; there was never a breath of ■suspicidtf about his' conduct, and his -friends at home hesitate. to. belive 'these aspersions.: He is still remembered'here as a man \?ho introduced an. entirely new, .. style of-row-ing at an', unprecented pace, and who easily distanced all English competitors. It was a mystery to his : supporters why he was so ' easily beaten • by Beach m/ Australia, and the solution seem* to be that Hanlon lost his power. • Possibly the great demands his, strength m the various matches he won had greatly debilitated him, and he was more or less a wreck when he went to the Antipodes. This Would explain his failure as an barsuian ; but there is nothing to 'show his honesty should ■■ break down. — Home News, \.\"~ ' Say the Wellington' Tress of December 17>:— The Inspector-General of Schools pojnted out at the Training Col- " lege las^eyening; thattitjiere exists a proVision m connection with the. education system by -which Education Boards may establish school libraries.

M; ''" * ; ' ; A curious case was tried recently m the Eastbourne County-coiwt Dr Sherrard sued R. Ballantyue for. £1 is., fee for attendance m his wife's confinement. "THe defeTnce was that the doctor had failed to atteiid.daijy 9ri each of the nine dayi. It w"a«i admitted .that the mother did not -suffer frorn t thif neglect, though the child was ill;' and " every married man knows that the fee includes attendance on the child.*' On the other band, the doctor said that he had forgotten^to call the day after the confiuementj?becajuie it had clipped his memory. The Judge laid down that if was the d^ty'of fa doctor to call on each of the^ nine days, but gave judgement for the ! plaintiff on the ground -thatfMrsKßallanftyne had experienced no inconvenience' from non-attendaheje. . The Marton well has onlygot'a few inches or water m it. The Advocate sayi the fact is very dissapointing m view of the money " sunk " an the well. The Post says :— After starting on her voyage toSydney the Wakatipu was hailed by 1 a small boat, the occupants of which asked to be allowed to search the vessel for a^ supposed, female ab,•onder from her creditors, at the jaine time producing the'^'necessary* warrant. The captafn having assured himself the authority was correct, courteously stopped the : steamer and permitted the officer,, to prosecute a search. This he ' a id J with a,n energy worthy of a more popular cause. Although the vesselWas m anything but a 'savoury condition ' owing to a shipment of horses and cattle, there was no corner large enough.to conceal a Freethinker's religious scruples that was not subjected to a •earqhing investigation.' A smaller efficer wae even lewered down : the smoke stack, but returnedjbafßed, though not nonsuited (nqnsooted) to the r ßurr ■•fftoei; At; -length the pursuit / was abandoned and the steamer continued on her voyage. The bailiffs got into their boat'and made for Magazine Point. While from the cabin windows of the ladies portion of Wakatipu's passenger accommodation a female pocket-handker-chief wai seen to wave a derisive " Adieu." to the bailiffs.
