Captain T. W. Porter will address the electors at Makaraka, on Friday evening next. Members of the J Battery" who had promised to assist in the formation of a Rifle Range, are requested by Sergeant Ledger to be ready at the ferry to-morrow (Wednesday) at 2 p.m. sharp. “ Sinbad ” says, “ Holders of Derby consultations are advertising them as the last to be held in New Zealand. Ido not think this will be the case, as I see in Canterbury the electors are insisting on the various candidates pledging themselves to knock out the clauses in the Lottery Bill in reference to sweeps. This is quite fair, as this absurd Bill decidedly intereferes with tlw liberty of the public, and is at the same time perfectly childish. It would be as well if our Otago neighbours put the same test to the candidates at their elections.”
