The trains brought only those whose engagements compelled their travelling, anil traffic by road there was nono, Tho cricket match was dpcidod on tho single inninss, although thera would have been ample tune to have played It o||f. The Municipal Fire Brigade Sports programme had to be curtailed, end tbe attendance at the Ball ill tho flyoniiig was but limited, The firing contest was carrried out under difficulties, and tho pleasure was washed out of the Wosleyan Sunday School tea meeting and other local gatherings. Tholivlicst orent of tho day was the torchlight procession of the Municipal Fire Brigade, which was very effective. The fain was not sufficiently heavy to stop the outdoou amusements, but it Bpoilt attendance everywhere and dissipated the fun,

A monstor trout was captured on July 26th in tlio rivor Itchon, at Winchester, weighing 161b Uoz,, and measuring 32in in length and 21in circumforence. The bait was a live minnow, and ho was nut landed till twohoms aftor he washooked, He bid haunted tho Btrcam for yeara,' was almost as well known in the city as Queon Ann's statue in High-street, and had acquired quite a reputation for the number of rods he had broken and the quantity of fishing-tackle ho had carried away Bis captor was a laborer named Turpin, who disposed of him for £1 to a fishmonger, on whose slab it attracted almost as many visitors as a monarch lying in state. He was in splendid condition, and has nowgono into the hands of a taxidermist for preservation. A Daily Telegraph Paris telograni states that a terrible tragedy took place at sea on board the French ship Tarapaca, which has just entered tho port of Dunkirk. Tho Tarapaca is a fourmaster, owned by a Bordeaux livm, and was coming home from Chili with a cargo of nitrnts of soda. The vessel was manned by a large crew, some of whom woro South Americans, or foreign castaways and deserters, who were shipped at Iquique. When in mid-Atlantic some of the mou becamo mutinous, and the captain, assisted by the first mato, the boatswain, and a few of the sailors, had to defend the quarter deck, which was besieged by tho rautinoora from tho forecastle Bloodthirsty encounters were fought with firearms, cutlasses, and marlingspiko, and two sailors woro battered to death. Aftor the budies had been thrown overboard, comparative tranquility was restored on tho vessel. Several seamen have reached port in a procarious condition, and the captain and first'mato have been .suspended, while full investigation is being made by tho maritime authorities into all the circumstances of this now tragedy on the high seas. The Temperance News states the settlement at Mildura established by the Chaftey brothers will prove interesting, not only as an "irrigation" colony, but as demonstrating whether in Australia the same results follow as in other places where intoxicating drinks aro not permitted to be sold. Mildura is practically , a prohibition colony, tho Government having empoworcd the enterprising firm directing operations to exclude public houses. It is perhaps early yet to speak of results, but the Argus correspondent on the 24 ult. says:—" One of tho most notable features of Mildura is the absence of anything approaching crime in the ' settlement, notwithstanding that we ; have a population of 500 souls. Ono school is at work with promising results, and several churches are in course of • erection." Wo are further informed that application has been mado to _ the New South Wales Ghivorriment for a lease of the land on the opposite bank of the Mtirray so as to prevent thoplantirig of public houses in the vicinity of tho settlement, and that the application has 1 been granted. The friends of sobriety, will havo a double interest therefore in the success of the irrigation colony. Tho Manawatu Daily Timos of tho ■ 2nd inst. in its leading article says : It appears that Mr Jellicoo overstepped i the bounds at Wanganui during the hearing of the Grant case, and received a smart castigation at the hands of the : Chief Justico. Our special reporter furnishes tho I 'following account of the incident: —"At ; - the ■■ Supreme Court on Saturday, in the case of Grant v. lianaivatu Highway Hoard, Mr Jellicoo was ; reprimanded by His Honor for putting a question to Mr linick as to the connection of tho witness with the Manawatu , Times. Mr Jellicoo produced a copy of the Times of August 23rd this year, and prior to asking if he had inspired the paragraph, he asked Mr Buick if he had any interest in any' newspaper in Paluierston, to which the witness replied that ho had not. Pressed further as to whether he had an interest in the Manawatu Times, Mr Buick denied that he had. Mr Jellicoo continued to ply the witness with questions on this subject till His Honor'went for'the lawyer in a straight out fashion. It was ho said discreditable to the profession to introduce Mr Buick's private affairs with a view to asking him about a paragraph. He could only stigmatise it as most improper and most unprofessionablo; and if ho did not refrain froni fho practice, he (his honor) would bo found to mako ; public refcrenco to it, He repeated the I statement twice, that if Mr Grant had i instructed Mr Jellicoo to examino in that manner, he should not havo taken the instructions, and if ho had dono it with- ■ out instructions it was all tho more dis- , creditable to him,", Tho article goes on to saythaftho insinuation if put forward by any other person thau Mr Jellicoo, who was privileged, would have been a sjross libel for which tho proprietor of the paper would have endeavoured to obtain reparation, but that "tho lawyer is unfortunately protected and cannot be compelled to adhero to truth."
