A fair number of ladies were present. The subject for next Friday is " Turning over a new leaf." Fancy Dbbss Ball.—The Buby Quadrille Assembly closed it 3 season with a fancy dress ball, which was held in St. Michael's schoolroom on Thursday evening. There were about forty couples present, all of whom thoroughly enjoyed themselves. The fancy costumes had a nice effect. Among them were representatives of the Army and Navy, of football, cricket, lawn tennis, the tuif, and the King aud hi 3 jester, the two latter being prominent. A member of the "foorce" maintained good order, and until his disguise was penetrated was paid a deal of deference. Dancing was spiritedly kept up until after 3 a.m. An Imcobbiqiblh Youth.—lt will be remembered that some months ago a lad named Wright, an escapee from Burnham, jumped from a train going at full speed, and sustained injuries that were expected to prove fatal.

Aβ he had frequently expressed his determination to again escape from Bornham if sent there, steps were taken to license the lad to his sister, the wife of a well-known farmer in the Wakanui distriofc. He, however, left her home during the week, and as she has despaired of his reformation the boy has again been committed to Bumham.

We have been requested to state that the concert on Wednesday evening was not given to augment the funds of the Club, but to assist in laying down a running track for athletic purposes generally. Biflh Scobing Bxgisteb.—lt is. often said that rifle ehooticg is a gift, and that to acquire moderate proficiency a man must speed a large amount of time and money upon it. There is no doubt that ib is a somewhat expensive pastime, but like most other sports there are many chances of paying for the"oate bill" when the competitions are on. But withont cartful observation of the many little trifles surrounding the art, it ib impossible for good shooting to be made except by chance. The influence of wind, sun, weather, and atmosphere has such a diverting effect on shooting that only an accurate knowledge of sighting under the varying changes of weather can secure good safe shooting, and ensure accuracy and success. Mr A. Appleby, once one of the crack rifle shots of the province, has compiled and issued, in handy eizsd pocket form, what appears to be a most complete register. On each page are three diagrams of targets with measured spaces for noting windage allowance when required j three diaS to,each target/or noting the position of thij snnmi toectMmofthe wind; spaces for noting the strength of Che wmd; the condition of -tte_atm«rohe*e, the elevation, &c. t and a asorigg table of tea shote at each 'target A fan explanation of the diagramTand some very good hints on rifle shooting The register if certainly most; complete, and should find its way into the hands of every person anxious to make nfleehobting morethaß waste of time and ammunition.

SUPBKIIH COURT WoBK IN DUOTJDHJ."— t ■ Iα granting a number of Dunedin on Wednesday/ $fr Juat&frn Williams eaid that it was well that stu% p applications sUonld be made in <xp*it'\ Court, *a otherwise the impression t to get abroad that the Cou*b was not ablf t-: overtake the work. It should be under* ' stooa :hat each was not the case. The Indtjsthiai; Association. — The Association will shortly remove to their new an 1 more commodiouf quarters in Uigh street. The new room is situate in the building formerly ocjupied by Messrs Hobbs and Co., High etreet, and will afford a large amount of accommodation, not only for the usual meetings of the Association, but also the various articles of colonial produce which may be forwarded for exhibition. Lincoln Road Band or Hopß.—The monthly meeting of the Lincoln road Band of Hope was held on Thursday. There was a good attendance and a fair programme waa disposed of. Mr Parkea (from Band of Hope Union) was present, and gave a very stirring address, drawing a vivid picture of the evil of drinking, emoking, attending the theatre, and keeping bad company, and warning the children to shun these habits, and not to be laughed out of their pledge. This gentleman also gave a selection on the bella in ft very pleasing manner, which was much appreciated by the audience. Mr Steel gave a recitation in a very able manner, as alao did several of the members. Very valuable assistance was rendered by the the children (under the leadership of Mr H. J. Marriner), giving several part-songs in a very effective manner. At the invitation of the secretary, nine cameforward and signed the pledge. Annat.—The Crown Lands Banger, Mr W. Kitson, yesterday paid a visit of inspection to the Annat village settlement, carefully and thoroughly reviewing all toe holdings. There are still several sections unsold in the block, but two or three probable settlers are enquiring about land in this Quarter. Those who have bought are doing well. The Annat School Committee are making some substantial and permanent improvements on the new school site, which, instead of being an unsightly piece of waste hind, is so <? well fenced, ploughed, and nearly a thousand trees planted on it in belts all round. The gravel pits have been levelled, and it is the intention of the Committee to plant trees in them and bow giaes. Thu site will be a great improvement to the township when the new school buildings are erected, and for which the contract has been let. A Novelty.—Messrs and Kirk, of the Farnley Pottery Works, have completed recently an improvement ia drain and connection pipes, which bids fair to revolutionise the cost in this respect. It has been designed by Mr Cuthbert, C.E., and the first one made according to hie plans has been put in at the new Kotherfield Hotel. The invention may be termed multwn in parvo, inasmuch as it combines in one connection what otherwise would require six. It combines the conveyance of the night soil, the rain water from the roof, a syphon, a trap, a ventilating pipe, a pipe for the fresh air, and a connection with the sewer. The portion of the pipe for receiving the rain water is ' 7in square, capped at the top and with a perforated iron grating. The other portion of the pipe is of the ordinary round kind. These connections have been in use in England for some time, but Mr Cuthbeit has made several improvements in it, and no doubt it will be extensively used here. The Ceubltt to Animals Cases at Asbbubton.—At the Ashburton Magistrate's Court on Friday, Mr Baddeley. U.M., referred to the recent case of cruelty to animals brought against the brothers Bussell, who were contract ploughing en the Bangitata, the case resulting in one brother being fined JBl6 and costs, and tiMKlfte* bejifl. eo»mi£ted to prison for jfegA ippntha without the option of a fine. The MagSgaxg-ot»t.a a,t- bnj. received a petition from a number of friends and neighbors of the Brothers Bussell, in Geraldine, statirg that the offenders werehighly respectable farmers, and praying that the penalties inflicted might be commuted. The Magistrate added that it was difficult to believe that men guilty of the offence of which the brothers Bmselt had been convicted could be respectable. All he could do would be to forward the petition to the Minister for Justice. Mr Baddeley then referred in highly complimentary terme to the tact and intelligence displayed by Trooper Bemer m obtaining the evidence required to c-nvicfc the brothers Bussell of cruelty to horses. _ AsHBUjiaTON Cbickbt Cldb.—The annual meeting«gf the Ashburton Cricket Club: was held at Messrs Matson, Cox and Co.'a office on Thursday evening, Mr D. Thomas presiding. The Secretary, Mr J. A. Caygill, read a report and balanoe-shoet, showing the Club to be in a good finanoial position. The total number of members on the roll is sixty-five. Messrs Secretau, Caygill and Andrews wero appointed a Committee to arrange with : the Sports Ground Committee for the use of the ground during the coming season, which opens on Wednesday next. A donation of £2 2sr was voted to the Orphanage Band for their services in connection with the excursion sports. Several new members were elected, and the following officers were appointed for the ensuing year:—President, Mr C. G. Hawdon 5 Messrs C. P. Cox, J. Grigg, W. C. Walker and E. G. Wright} Captain, Mr J. A. Caygill; Secretary, Mr J. A. Flesher; Treasurer, Mr J. WinEer 5 Committee, Mesera A. Fools, Wroughtbn, Bunting, E. J. Cox,C. Strange, D. Thomas, and Dr. Leahy. A Sad Coincidence.—A sad and unusual ceremony took place on Thursday afternoon, when two married daughters of Mr J. Sandford, of Heathcote Valley, were buried at the same time in the Heathcote Cemetery. Both of them were wives of members of the Loyal Perseverance Ledge, Woolston, and a large number of the members attenied in funeral regalia; there was also a numerous following of friends in vehicles. The funeralof Mra E. J. Dean left her father's house at the Valley, and that of Mrs (i. W. Woodford her husband's house, Bromley, the two meeting at the Perry road, when the Oddfellows led the procession to the gates of the cemetery, and then filed right and left to allow the coffins to enter. They then formed a cordon round the graves, while the service was conducted by the Bey. Mr Merton, St. John's, Woolston. Much sympathy is felt in the district with the bereaved, who are well-known, Mr Dean havingonl; been married five monthe, while Mr Woodford is left with, fire little ones, the youogeet only ten months old. Boaed of Afpbai,.—Mewrs E. Beeth am, E.M., and B. Westenra, J.P., held a Board of Appeal tor railway workmen yesterday. F. Davis, a blacksmith at the Addington workshops, had been suspended. He had preferred charges against the Foreman, Mr Pope, and the Board met to inquire into both matters. The charges which Davis had laid were, that the Foreman tad unjustly abused, persecuted, and oppressed mm; had been partial towards other men in the department, screening them, acd refusing to listen to any complaints concerning them ; had used threatening language on several occasions; had broken rule 21 by committing an assault upon turn on Friday, Auguet 28th, by taking him. >y the throat violently aad forcing him sackwards on the top of two iron buckets full of scrap iron, hurtdcg his back severely. After evidence had been taken, during which the Foreman stated that the charges were false, Davis asked for the production by Mr Triggs of a document, being s.n application by Davis for a transfer to Addisgton. Mr Triggs replied that he had r.o authority to produce the document, which had got into hie hands in an uQolii.iivl manner, and which was in the possession of the Locomotive Superintendent. J lhia ~la*£er gentleman declining to produce the document, as he considered it would introduce irrelevant matter, the inquiry woe adjourned sine die, the Board being of opinion that as the complainant considered toe paper necessary, and the Locomotive Superintendent would not produce it at the request of Davis, the inquiry could not for the present be continued. The parties would have notice of its resumption. '
