The Wairarapa Daily. WEDNESDAY, SEPT 11, 1889.

The tomfoolery of tlip municipal meeting of Monday evening with Mr Kenall m the chair and out of the chair, enacting the chief rolo as the Lord of Misrule is a clear indication of what the ratepayers may expect if flip term of his' power is extended. They are asked tp vote for his candidates Messrs Eton, pullefi, juifl Wagg. Our main objection t.o t)ip three is that they aro Mr lienall's candidates and as such should bo rejected by all sensible people. We trust to see Messrs Capper, Mason, and E. E. Chamberlajji oleptert as a protest against further disorder. )Ir B.0})all has had two years of power wliiph have ljooi) devoted to wrangling and an attempt on his part to make himself dictator'' to one and all in the town. It is for him to declare when we shall have a iy.af.er supply, what sort of supply we shall haye ( f>nd when he chooses the supply is to ho withdrawn. That there are public men wiljing to ei}bmitto a government of this kind may not be a matter of surpriso but »ve scarcely expect the great body of tho ratepayers wifl surrender their rights, interests, and privileges to b.o treated as shuttlecocks by that amusing but very uureliablo old settler, Mr A. W, Benall, A letter from Mr T; G. Mason, in another column, states that the members of the Water Supply Committee, who supported tlip Mayor some months ago in big project, arfl now determined to vote against iiis party. This is a severe blow to the mayoral party, but it is deserved.

Now that Eketahuna has a resident doctor it would bo a great convonionco to settlers in tho district if Dr MeJLannan was appointed Public Vaccinator. Undergo pjcjßting state of things, it is now necessary to qiajce two journies to Masterton for this puroposo. The Wairarapa North County Council jit its meeting yestorday decided to take no further steps in resisting the claims of the District Aid Board and to pay the amount demanded wliioh including tho current half-year, is nearly £{s!).

E.vory opportunity she gets blio is off, and unless she is put under restraint her friends fear she may lose herself altogether.

The North County Council has been called upon to contribute to tho support of the Groytow.i Hospital. Tho Masterton institution is supported by voluntary contributions and tho Council felt somewhat indignant when, tlio demand was made on them for £25 odd and referred tho letter, to tho South County Council.

Tbo delegates for, tho Wairarapa contributing bodies to the oharitable Aid 1 met at tlio county ofliees, Masterton, yesterday. Presert—Messrs W. H. Beetliam (In tho chair), Renall, Dagg, Braithwaito, and Perry. Apologies were received for tho absence of Messrs Fairbrother and Bunny. Attontion was drawn to the roport of tho meeting of the Greytovm Borontdi Council, that diey lwd decided to pay the' contributions demanded, and tho following resolution was passed" That this meeting regrets to observe a report in the local press to the eifecfc that the Borough of Groytown has asreed to pay the contribution domauded from it without con. suiting tho other contributory local authorities, and havo thus committed a broach of faith with these bodies, and that a copy of this resolution bo forwarded to tho town clork, Groytown." Attontion was called to tho demand ef tho.United Wairarapa District Hospital Board on the North Wairarapa County Council for payment of £25 lis. It was considered that, as the Masterton Hospital was supported by voluntary contributions, and no levy was made on tho South County towards its maintenance, the North County Council should, not.be called up in to contribute towards the support of the Greytown institution. The question of offering further resistance to tbo demands of the Charitable Aid Board was discussed, and the following resolution was carried —"That as there is a diversity of .opinion among the delegates as to the extent 'to which resistance to the demand of the Charitable Aid Board should bo carried, it is advisablo that each of the said bodies should now act indopondeutly of it as to its future course."

"Frank Lincoln" made his first appear? ance m tho Theatro Royal last evening.: The weather was a»ainst him, but ho had, nevertheless, a capital house, Our Theatro witli its iron walls and rooE is not a very encouraging building, to speak in on a wet night, but the visitor proved equal to the occasion, and went through his programme without apparent effort. We had read about him as one who was almost too funny to livo, and listened to liini with sonie.dillidenco, bccauso we questioned whether such a

phenomenon ought to be allowed to travel and whether it was safe for any one with a sensitive epigastrium to be present. However, he soon allayed our apprehension, When first he camn upon the stage lie struck die key-npto of his audience with a few mildly seasoned anecdotes, and let himself down to comfortably amuse them. He diluted himself to keep them in a continuous ripple of laughter, Mid if now and again thoro was a dangerous elfcryescence ho tonod it down with practiced dexterity. Tlmt he can be fatally funny, we may well believe for now and agaip in a weird impersonation, like that of the Qbino§oßomeq, ho produces a convulsive effect qn jm beam's, for which they are altogether unprepared, but lie does not prolong these higher flights of his art, and mercifully subsides into some mild aud gentle stimulating mimicry, which takes the listeners from dangerous heights of hysteria to tho safer region of titillation, He makes himself at home with his audienco ptraisilit away, the impression being that you have seen him btforfj and this as the entertainment proceeds deepens into a conviction, that you have aeon twenty people resembling him, only that one and all of the scoro aro distinct and separate individuals. We aro not going tp /letajl Ilia programme because his delineations of quaint and curious AniericajiJ English, and French characters hayo been already doscribed over and over again in the columns of our Wellington contemporaries. Everybody has read of his celebrated "Cocktail," but cannot grasp the artistic mixture till ho witnesses the process himself, Thoso who fancy that a couplo of'houvs upprit m laughing will benefit their systems had better fake advantage of his second and last appearance this 'evening. The hardest visages, and the most inveterate croakers yiold to bis influence. .He y/jclds the maiic wand q1 "mirth I 'and rise pepple vyill go to hear him, and feel that they liayo mado a good investment thereby.

The Srcvtown School Committee met last night Messrs Cull (Chairman), Wakelin, St George, Black and Webster being present. Sir St George was appointed Sccretaiy vice Mr Tate,resigned. .Some-small accounts woro passed for payment, and Mr Wait's tender for removing nightsoil-was 'accepted. It was resolved that te Town.Trust:be

applied to for a grant- in aid,- and that the night of meeting he altered to the second Tuesday in tho month. ( An attempt has been inado to. set tlio ratepayers in the centrn of the town against tho election of Mr E.. E. Chainbeilain, as councillor, on the ground that his interests are purely suburban: As a matter of fact all his business; interests lie.in the centre of of Miistertoiii'andhe is'a heavy payer of rates for general purposes, gas and insurance. It is therefore palpable that nis interests are identical with those of the shopkeeper of Queen-strict' generally. Mr Chamberlain publishes an address in another column, which confirms our remarks in this direction. The burgesses showed their confidence in Mr Chamber-

lain on a former occasion by returning him as their representative- on the Council, from which ho resigned through ill health, and we fully expect to seo-Jiim

returned again in an honorablo position on the poll, A bui'gy accident happened near the town yesterday, by-which one of tho occupants, a young lady on p visit- from Wellington was somewhat seriously injured.,, Mr Webb, of tho firm of Webb and Lcstor had hired a buggy, r and - was driving with the lady in question in tho direction of the Taueru when near tho Masterton Hospital, a dray with a

large iron tank theieon passed and the animal startled by the unusual eight and noise, beoamo startled and- swerved oil the road, The driver managed to gel tlio lmrso and buggy back on to the road

without damage, and then arlminstercd carroction to the horso. The animal resented the chastisement, by bolting and tho vehicle coming in contact with a flax bush ono of tho occupants was jerked ont. A little further on a telegraph poit was struck and the other

occupant pitched out into the road and tho vehicle smashed. The liorso contiuued its carcrer unchecked with tlio shafts daiiglins at its sides. Mrs F. G.

Tho young lady was found partly insensible, and was carried to Mrs Moore's house and Dr Hoskitig was sent for. Tho driver was not much hurt and was able' to get along unaided. .The doctor examined the injured lady and found that in addition to tlio the severe shaking and bruising her back w« hurt, but to what extent he did not at tho timo ascertain, at a later she was roinoved into Masterton.
