A meeting of' the Maaterton;: Park Trustees was held at the Institute last evening. Present—Messrs Paylon, (chairman), Boddington and Vile, On the motion of Mrßoddiugton, MrPayton Was re-elected Chairman for tho cm rent-year. Tho Chairman stated that during the past year, as in the previous one, substantial permanent improve'menlß had been made. The park oval had been' levelled, and carefully prepared for grass seed. In this work ho acknowledged specially the valuable assistance given by Mr McGregor in superintending the execution of the work, and of Mr King, who kindly gave the Trust the benefit of his engineering skill, and of Mr Hessey, who had lent his horses and machines to the Trustees. The Secretary repotted that the debenture for i'4oo held by Mrs McKeniie had been cancelled and replaced by two debentures of 1200 each, one of which had been taken up by Mvu McKonzie, and the other by Mr Jones. Tho balance sheet published in another column was received andadopted, Tht Chairman called attention to the fact of the thin- attendance of members of the Trust at meetings, and, the Secretary wa9 instructed to report at next meeting, the actual attendances of each member. The following accounts were ptaed for payment :-J. 0, Ingram, £llla (3d; Smith & Hogg, 119s 6d, and W. Sellar, £3 6s 6d. The meeting then adjourned. A deputation consisting of members of the Education Board waited on the Government yesterday to represent the Board's financial position. The deputation, who were received by the Premier and Colonial Secretary, included Messrs J. R. Blair (chairman), W. Hutchison, T. Mason, and W. C. Buchanan, M.H.R 's, and H. Bunny and the secretary (Mr Dorset). Mr Blair represented that in order to carry out the work of,education, in the district in a'Batisfactory uianner'a grant of money would-be necessary, as a number of school buildings required to be ereoted without delay. An estimate oftbm buildings was submitted,.and from this it appeared that the total coat of the proposednaw buildings would amount to about £14,000, while the Board had only, about 12800 for the purposa. Mr Blair complained, strongly of the way in which the North Island had been' treated in regard to educational grants "as compared with the Squill Island, and he objected' to the moijey king allocated at per head of the population, on whioh basis the country districts would have to Buffer. The. Premier said that all thefigures he had before him went to show that, so far from Wellington having-.been badly treated as compared with other districts, it was in a rather favorable position than otherwise, and he would- be glad if the Board produced figures to the contrary. Otago was a little better off, perhaps, in respect to teachers' residences, but as regarded school accommodation Wellington was reallynot much worse off .than Otago, i any. while it was belter off in comparison with Auckland, Nelson, We'sthnd, and Marlborough. The whole of the Boards were crying out for more money, and he doubted whether a grant of half a million, among them would satisfy them. Of course euffioient accomodation ■ must be : found somehow, and it would be the duty of the Government to iriake a proposition to.Parliament. The Government.re* fretted they were not able to ■ provide sufficient money for the purpose at a more expeditious rate than they.were now' doing, but their mean's were limited, and it was for Parliament to'decide whether' more should be taken out of loan. He reconrae'nded Mc Blair to; prepare a statement, to show how Wellington had' Buffered in''doraparißon with other places. The' deputationv'afterwards withdrow.— •Post.

Messrs Lowes and lorns sell at 2 p.m. to-morrow a small farm at Ferni'idge, an eligible town property in Wrigley-etreet, and an allotmeut in Bentley's estate. After_ the properties: are disposed of, a superior assortment of household furniture and requisites will be offered. A woman had. to be removed to the -police cells yesterday afternoon whojwan apparently in a very exoitable condition, arid a doctor called in to attend her as there, was reason to believe that the cause of her.disorder was hysteria, No.charge was. preferred against'her and she was .released as scon as Bhe was sufficiently composed to-return to her home, ■ :.; We copy the following from the Kelso Chroniclo:—We called attention last week' to-jhe importation of foreign mutton, which was consigned 16 Mr Logan, Heilon, by his brother in New Zealaud. The carcases, three in number, were on view on Friday in the shop of Mrßellj ; 'Bridge" Street, and were inspected by'a good,many people. As specimens of -breeding, they were all that could he 'desired; and elnw that our Antipodean friends are up to their business; theibono being One, and the mutton equally dis tributed all over, the flesh onthegigot coming down to the very hough . It is to. tell exactly what the cross, was, : but a considerable amount of Border. Leicester' blood showed itself most uni ralstakeably in various points, The meat : was, however, objectionable' in respect of its extreme fatness, nn 'idea of-which may be formed n hen. we .slate that one which seemed to be that of a sheep whioh'a Border farmer would send -to market'about eighteen .pounds a .quarter, was estimated by Mr Bell to weigh not less than eight stones, The quality of the meat,, when cooked,' lias" beeri'pronounced to bo excellent, and the flavor of the lean being equal to any of the heme-fed sheep. It will be seen at < once that th s- extra fitness is a defect which,may be remedied with the,least trouble m the world, and that if graziers' of New Zealand, who can produce meat at a minimum onst, are assured of its reaching the customer in tins country in a sound and marketable state, they may be induced to develop the trade to an extent which may prove itifome dogree prejudicial to the interests of the British farmer,

There was a large attendance of the public at the rooms of Messrs J. H Bethuno&Co.on Wednesday, the'occasion being the sale of » freehold sheep and cattle run, together with the atock and implements, at Taueru, Wairarapa. The bidding nt first was rather spirited, the station being started at £OOOO, and it was eventually; kuocked down for £BOOO, the buyer being Mr James Cattell. The same gentleman was also the purchaser of the horses, cattle, and agricultural.-imple-ments for £IOO. Mr Thomas Murray purchased lot'2, consisting of 2645 sheep, more or leas, at 4a 9d per head. ; The first day of the Napier Earn Fair was held on Wednesday. Partly, owing to the enormous number of sheep'from all parts of the colony which were yarded, and partly, perhaps, to the scarcity of money, tho prices obtained were not equal to the average of past years.; The top price was 75 guineas for a ram bred by Mr Tanner. One of Mr Hard's brought 60 guineas, three 50 guinoas, and one of the New Zealand and Australian Land Co.'s 42 guineas, Tbe locally-bred sheep were in the ascendant, but Menlove's ana Sutton's Southland sheep will not le sold until to-day. . " There has been," said the Chairman of the Colonial Bank on Wednesday," a feeling of; alarm created lately in banking circles by the large amount of sovereigns which had been' sent out to the colonies from London, bnt-it appeared that for one million which'had'been sentout, one million and.a half had been sent away from the colony, and he did not see why there should be any uneasiness in the matter.". We" ave glad' that the banks feel comfortable, but we fancy.the public would sooner have had the million and a half of sovereigns coming in and the million going out. , .:
