HIGHLY UNBATIBFAOIOBY.

DUNEDIN, Dbo. 20. Blackburn and Thomar, the wrestlers, come over by the nut steamer to arrange matohes with Donald Dinnie and Bobertson. At the x Land Board, yesterday, a further number of seotions were disposed of on the perpetual leasing principle. The rates per aore ranged from Is 6d to Bs. At the Education Board to-day, the Seoretary of the Department in Wellington wrote that a definite reply would be given to the Board about tbe grant for buildings as soon as the Department was in a position to do so. A motion was carried that this was highly unsatisfactory, and the Seoretary was instruoted to draw the Minister's attention to the fact that the best season of the year for the ereotion of sohool buildings is rapidly passing away, ss also is the finanoial year — tbis being the ninth month thereof — and to again request that the Government will, with as little further delay as possible, inform thia Board of the amount that will be available for school buildings in this distriot. Mr M'Kenzie, M.H.8., gave notioe of motion for the January meeting— "That the Seoretary, three inspectors, and three clerks receive notice of dieoharge after three mouths, and that applications be then invited for a Seoretary, one olerk, and two inspectors." He also gave notice for tho abolition of Committees, and that all business be transacted by the full Board.
