GENERAL TELEGRAMS

THE MOKAU JONES ESTATE. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Te Kuiti, March 11. The adjourned sitting of the Maori Land Board yesterday, dealing with the Molcau Jones estate, was further adjourned to March 22, when the president hopes to reach a final settlement. A RE-HEARING REFUSED. Wellington, Saturday. The application by Constable Glynn for a rehearing of the assault case, Black v. Glynn, in which the latter was convicted and fined 40s, was refused by Mr. Riddell, S.M., to-day, POLO ASSOCIATION. Gisborne, Last Night. The New Zealand Polo Association's annual tournament was brought to a termination on Saturday hy a most successful sports gathering. The Polo Cup was won by R. Reynolds' Fashion Plate, W, McKenzie's Vivien 2, and R. R. Murphy's Lady Betty 3. In regard to the running of the Cup race, a peculiar position arose. The race was timed to start at noon, and at that time a small assemblage of thirty or forty people gathered at the Park Racecourse. The race was about to commence when Mounted Constable Dandy appeared on the scene, and informed those present that they could not hold the race, as no permit had been obtained. The disappointed "sports" trooped back to town, and after a series of telegrams to Wellington a permit was finally obtained, and the raoe was run at five o'clock.
