DESTRUCTION OF STABLES.'. By IWtgTftjh-Prsw laMewtfci. Hamilton, Last Night. At 2.40 this afternoon Francis' stables, in Hood street, known as the "Waikato Stables," was found to be well alight. The building is a big one, but after considerable difficulty the horses were turned loose, and all the vehicles saved. The fire is still burning, but well under control, and as there is no wind there is little danger of spreading. The building will probably be gutted. No insurances are available. .

A cab, three gigs, harness, feed and sundry gear, was destroyed. The origin of the fire is unexplained. Insurances arc not available. Frances is not covered but it is believed the building is insured in an office at Ashlmrton. The stables are the property of Mr. T. McGregor, late of Ruhuki, who lately received them in exchange for a farm by Milne of Walton During the progress of the lire a portion of the roof fell in where two firemen were working.
