TIDE TABLE.

Captain Woolcombe, the ex-K.M. of Timaru, and lovingly called " Daddy '•' by hi* friends there, has been silly enough to ba prevailed upon to put tip for that town against Mr K. Tornbull, as the nominee of the Tiuiaru Herald. At his meeting last week, the.poor gentleman was dragged through the electoral mire in terrible style.», For nearly two hours he -tried to speak bat the meeting would bufe laugh boisterously at him. The Hera.ld says that one of the orchestra wore a big overcoafci in the interior folds of which lie had 8 cow's horn, or some such instrument of torture, and out of this he blew from time to time muffled sounds of the most lugubrious kind. Another simulated a female voice with wonderful success. When the Chairman asked the audience to let the reporters hear Mr Woolcombe, if they, did not want'to hear him themselves, so that his speech might be published, he was told that it did not matter because '* Wakeficld- would fix it up all right for him," aa intimation which of course referred to a member of the staff of that paper, and which was received with roars of irreverent laughter. Towards the close of the meeting, there were loud and frequent cries for Mr Wakefield to come; forward and speak, but he did not do so, probably having no taste for a concerto basso prof undo diubolico of trombones, cowhoros, catcalls, mouth organs, whistles, Jitc, &o.—Standard.
