ACCLIMATISATION AFFAIRS.

SOUTH AUCKLAND'S POSITION. (By Telegraph.—Own Corresconr-.ent.) HAMILTON, this day. What is the position of the Waikato Society, was a question that was not altogether lost sight of when the acclimatisation affairs were under- consideration at a meeting of the Hamilton Acclimatisation Sub-Society last evening. It was the consensus of' opinion that matters should remain as they were for the present, at any rate following the Minister's decision not to grant subdivision of the original list. Mr. W. G. Wohlmann .was present- at a meeting of the Auckland Council when the decision of the Minister was made known. He expressed the opinion last night that the movement was one that would not die. It was due to natural growth and the determination of the population of the Waikato and the King Country to secure a large share in the control of acclimatisation affairs than hitherto. He felt sure that some day there would be a division of this and other districts of the Dominion. Members present at the Auckland meeting had expressed the hope-that the hatchet would be buried, and that the southern portion Would work in harmony with Auckland. The speaker said it depended on the fairness of the treatment meted out to the country in the future whether the desires expressed by the council members would be consummated.
