CORRESPONDENCE.

[We do not hold ourselves responsible for the opinions expressed by our correspondents.! MB OARSTON AND THE WINCHESTER CpM^ITTEJh TO THE EDITQII. Sir, —In your issue of the 7th of June Mr Carston comes out with very strong language, which he ought tp be made accountable for, and no doubt he will, /i'ethe four intelligent members, I suppose the All-wise Providence did not see fit to provide them with so much wisdom and understanding as Mr Oft ston. Suppose he rose to the exalted position of boss of the Winchester School Committee, and held that portfolio for a short time, whether it was tp t|]o satisfaction of the householders or npt 1 leave them to judge, or was it Mr McCarthy who was chairman I am not supposed to know, However, the Winchester householders have bgan hoodwinked long enough by him an 4 his colleagues. I for one should like to see a change in the

head-teachership. Had he compared the committee to the Winchester Glcod Templars I might have agreed with him, but 1 cannot; theretore he and I must part. My advice to Mr Carston is : give the present committee a chance, for their policy cannot be any worse than that of the late committee and their wise chairman.—l am, etc.,

APPLE SHOWS TO the editor.

Sir, —I want to encourage the apple industry, and, if possible, induce the Christchurch and: Dunedin growers to exhibit at our local shows. I found this year, when exhibiting at the Christchurch Show on May sth, I had to pay railway charge, full fare, both ways between Christchurch and Orari, and the same for the gardener in attendance. I wrote to the Commissioners of Railways, Wellington, upon the subject, and I have their reply, dated the 4th of June, respecting the free carriage of fruit for exhibition at shows and the issue of a free pass to the attendant in charge of the fruit. The Commissioners inform me that apples will be conveyed to and from apple shows on the same terms as exhibits are carried to and from agricultural shows. Under this arrangement lewt. of apples sent from Orari to Christchurch for exhibition and returned to Orari would cost Is.

The Commissioners regret they cannot see their way to issue a free pass to the attendant in charge of the fruit. lam trying still to see if I can get the attendant in charge to only pay half-fare, and I am sure the more we can induce our distant neighbors to attend the local shows it will be better for the railway in every respect, as it will cause men to travel and sell and buy produce,—l am, etc.,
