Sydney. The " Pinafore " dispute between Mr Williamson, the holder of the copyright, and Kelly and Leon has ended, the latter recognishing Mr Wiiliamson's right. Fifteen natives at the pearl fisheries at Fern Island, Queensland, stole a boat and made away with it. Nothing has since been seen of them, and it is believed they must have perished in the heavy storms which occurred around the Island soon after. At Wagga Wagga Edwards completed the feat of walking 50 miles in 9 hours 14 mins, being six minutes less than the prescribed time. The last mile was walked in Bijmins. At the conclusion Edwards was examined by Dr Wren, who expressed a desire to see the physical condition of a man after such a performance. He stated that Edwards' con dition was astonishing after such a feat, and showed him to be possessed of a remarkable constitution. His pulse was regular, and there were no signs of distress manifested A gold medal was presented to Edwards.
