The Australians won the feurth test match by three runs

Mr Pratt, of Studholme Junction, has bought Mr Guilford’s farm. The . Studholme Mounted Rifles paraded •on Saturday afternoon 35 strong, under Captain Garland. An immense wheat crop in Canada is requiring extra harvesters ; twenty thousand are being sent from England, At Messrs Guinness and LeCren’s horse sale on Saturday a filly, sold on account Mr J. Leen, brought 62 guineas. The trial of the Kenniffs for the 1 murder of Dalke and Doyle, has commenced and is expected to last several days. The secretary of the Studholme Junction Saleyards Company notifies I that the usual monthly sale will not be held on Friday. Mr Pierpont Morgan has not cor • pleted the purchase of the British shipping lines. It is rtated, however, that the hitch is only temporary. In our report of the sale of work on Thursday the name of Miss Turnbull, who contributed a violin solo in excellent style, was accidentally omitted. At Ashburton Poultry and Pigeon Show, held last week, Mr C. A. Wilson’s Sandy 11, by Sandy I (imp.), took second prize in the class for show homers. We regret to hear that Mr George Manchester is suffering from a severe illness. He has been complaining for a long time and is now confined to the house. The Coronation Band, under the conductorship of Mr C. J. Goldstone, is doing well, and the practice this week will be held on Thursday night at 7.80 p.m. instead of on Wednesday. As coronation is not far off full practices are expected. There is a growing feeling that the people of Rhodesia are against the South African Chartered Company’s management without Cecil Rhodes, There is a local movement on foot for annexation to the Transvaal, or in the alternative, Crown Colony government pending federation. A conference between the Pastoralists’ Association and the Australian Workers’ Union to fix shearing rates for southern Riverina proved abortive. The shearers demand 25s per hundred. The Association refused this, though willing to make some concession. Trouble is likely to result.

Schwiegershausen, the cyclist travelling round the world, A. Calder, winner of the first Warnambool to Melbourne event, A. Ralston and R. Connel. A correspondent signing himself ,: In Opposition to "Windbags,” says that he is with street corner preachers in trying to prevent drunkenness and in bettering the condition of the poor, but he objects to their methods. Space and the incoherency of the letter forbid its publication in full. A meeting of the Juvenile Foresters’ Lodge was held last evening, there being a good attendance. Correspondence was read from the Timaru Lodge inviting the Waimate Lodge to attend a meeting in Timaru on Thursday next, which the Lodge decided to do. A drag will leave the Bank corner at 12.30 p m. The combination to Irish landlords is to be known as the Irish Land Trust. The central idea is to resist the efforts of tenants to compel landlords to sell their properties ; also to make arrangement for the cultivation of evicted famJs, and generally to fight the Irish League in connection with boycotting and intimidation, Lord Roberts visited Sandhurst and severly admonished the cadets for resenting in an unsoldierlike manner the stoppage of their leave. An exam* ination which he had made in connection with those recently rusticated showed how little they realised the enormity of their crime. All but two, however, were exonerated.

The “ Daily Chronicle ” says it is clear that the self-governing colonies are not united on the question of con* tributing to the cost of Imperial defence according to their wealth, and population. The lines whereon the strengthening of Imperial defence must be sought are those of the local action of free wills guided by common ideas and purposes.

At a conference of Waimate Hospital Trustees and the South Canterbury Hospital and Charitable Aid Board ir Tituaru yesterday, the Board decided not to oppose separation of the WaU mate Hospital District if the Makikihi River were made the boundary. The southern portion of the district had so increased that this was the only fair division.
