At a meeting of tho United District Board held at Wellington yesterday, tho Chairman stated the overdraft to be £690. Tho amount asked for by the Benevolent Trustees, £260 19s, would bring tho Board's debit up to almost £IOOO. The secretary explained that tho present overdraft was the largest which tho Board had yot possessed. Mr Beetham said that

in addition to the amounts'' stated by tho Chairman, he had made' himself responsible for about £IOO owing to the Wairarapa Benevolent Institution, who had

disbursed the amount. It was resolved,on tho motion of Mr Beotham, secondnd

by Mr Banks, that tho sum of. £332 be paid over to the Wellington Benevolent Association, and £l2O to the North Wairarapa Bonovolent Association, as asked for.

The Evening Post is advocating the running of special trains on the day of the Elections. An article on the subject in last ovoning's issue says:-"There Will bo two elections in tho Wairarapa on the 26th, and a large number of residents

in town, who possess votes in one or both those districts, (kite to be enabled' to exercise them. If the number of theses eloctora is sufficient to pay the Government for putting on a special tram, then undoubtedly it is the clear duty of the Government to put one on. Probably a good manyelectors would take their wives and families with them for an excursion, if a special train were put on. The Govornment would no more violate the Corrupt Practices Act by putting on a special train to the Wairarapa than by carrying electors, as they will by scores, from town to the Hutc, and from the Hutt to town on election day. The matter should be dealt with, not as a political question, but simply as a businosß one - whether it will pay the department ,to afford a section of the. public the convenience thev desire." ■ A civil case, in which Mrs Mary Walker was the plaintiff and Mr Sandilanda, solicitor, of Carterton, Was the defendant, was an interesting item in the Wellington R.M. Court proceedings yesterday morning Bays-the..Press;. It was. | urged by the plaintiff that Bhe had instructed dofendanfc to collect an -account for her from Mr Potts. As-he failed to

render her an account of his having dona so, she personally sued Mr Potts,- who' l put into court receipt* (eigned by Mr Sandilfttids) for the full amount owing plaintiff, with the exception of.flps, which he paid in. Plaintiff ,ihen : .wrote defondant fisking.fuf tho money," bu'f he" : did not vouchsafe a reply,' therefore she" took her present action. Mr W, P. James (clerk of the Court) corroborated the evidence as to tho receipts, arid testifiotl as to their being in defendant's;hindwriting. The case was then adjourned until the 9th inst. to permit of defendant's evidence being taken in Masterton. Mr Menteath was for plaintiff. The public generally will no doubt bo glad to know that our first display of spring and aummor fashions, just' arrived by the steamers Doric and Tongariro, will 'take place on Friday ovening next, at tho Wholesale Drapery Family Drapery Warehouso, Te Aro House, Wellington,- ..

At the laßt meeting of the Canterbury Football Onion, MrKostovau proposed thaji Canterbury should play.wing men against (Jtago, and that tho selector should bo instructed to pick them. The Re'v.'J. Hoatson said that the Union had elected, him as selector at.the annual ..mooting, knowing full well that he .had, a great ave'rsion to'wing men, and. Bbould the Union carry the motion, he would be compelled to resign. The real roasou of Canterbury's failure in the .North was- .that too many wing forwards had/bijou inoluded in the team. Wing men had been tried at-' Homo, and found a failure.- The. matter having been discussed, the motion wub withdrawn.
