J It is understood that arrangement* are being made for a deputation to waifc upon the Prime Minister on Mon- : day in respect to the Haynes ca&e. Messrs llusscll and Ell, members of Parliament, will probably introduce tho ■ deputation. The eecrocy of the ballot has bwn i exposed at a polling place in the i para district, known as Cabbage Tree ! Hat. At tho recent poll for the eke- \ tion of throe members of tho Hospitul ; Board one free and independent voter dealt with the nno and only ballot '■ paper used, and tho announcement of |' the poll expressed the manner in | which he had exercised his franchise, i At Kaet Oxford only two persons voted, 1 but here the votes could not be traced. The amount of interest taken in tho i license question is well indicated l>y tho number of questions asked of tho Rev. Mr Hammond at hie oi>en-air meeting i in Cathedral Snuare in tho dinner in- j terval yesterday. Mr Hammond wan j announced to speak from 12.30 to 1 p.m.. and from 1.30 to 2 p.m. But questions and the resulting arguments ' at the first meeting were so protracted that the meeting lusted right up to the time for tho second one to commence. Mr Hammond was therefore ' compelled to abandon tho second epfocb, owing to a desire to save his ' voice. The enthusiastic questioners, however, who apparently had plenty of : time on their hands, remained on th" spot, and were still going strong some hours later in the afternoon.

I La.st evening tho Caledonian Pipe : Band and tht> crew of the Antarctic vessel Terra Nova, were entertained by Mr .Shnnahiin. Toast* wero honoured, a::d during ;he evening members of the crew and the band gave, musical items. In addition, tome of the band gave Highland dances. A most enjoyable j evening \vse spent. Tho Rev. R. K. S. Hammond, who is ! conducting a No-license campaign in Cliri-tchurch. ad ironed a fair gathering in the King s 'fneatre last evening. His lecture, which was illustrated by i lantern slides, dealt with slum life in ■Sydney, and was to a groat extent ex- [ pinnatory of the effect that the drink ■evil had*in producing such sores in the i body metropolitan. ! It was stated in town yesterday ; that a summons was about to be issued in connection with the expulsion of n man from tho Show grounds, on thy I second day of tho Canterbury A. <\nd 1\ Association's Show, for tVie distrij bution of anti-militarist literature. It i was stated that the damages churned I would I\> nominal merely, and that the action would bo heard in the Magistrate's Court. 'V\u- Uangiora polioo wero informed last evening that what appeared to bo some human remains, had l>ron found in a grovel pit, j n the Rangiorn Railway station yard. After clo&o examination at which one of the local doctors assisted tho polioo, tho conclusion was arrived at that the remains were not I thoso of a human being, and were proj bably thoso of some animal that had i boon drowned in the pit. In dealing with arithmetic in hia address on Thurnlay night on the? practical problems ot education, Mr M. Watkins, principal of tho Training College, pointed out that frequent complaints' were mad© by shop-keepors that t)if> boys who went into their employ could not even give change, and no pointed out that this was owing to the fact th.»t the shopkeeper gave his change on tho plan known as complementary addition, which is asked ; rot by the present New Zealand syllabus, but which cannot bo worked in schools without tho provision of boxes of imitation coins and smaller classes than at present. At a meeting of the Railway League, held on Wednesday last, the following resolution was carried, and tho secretary instructed to forward a copy to Mr Goo. W. Forbes, M.1 , ., requesting him to convey it to the Minister of Public Works:—"That this Lcaguo respectfully requests tho Minister of Public Works, tho Hon. R. McKenzio, to definitely and immediately determine what routo tho Culvcrden-Waiau railway will take, by a personal inspection, o-r by his engineers, in order to avoid any possible- delay that may be caused by tho possibility of tho question of routes being raised at the time, or shortly before, it is intended to commence tho work of construction." At a meeting of the committee of tho Canterbury Hxcticultural Society last night, tho dato of tho annual roao show was fixed for December 6th, and it was decided that it be held in tho Olympiu Rink. It was reported tlut there would bo offered for competition at this chow tho silver cup, valuo 20 presented by Messrs J. Montgomery *and Co., for flowers of herbaceous plants grown from seed by the exhibitor. This will bo open to all New Zealand, with tho exception of nurserymen and florists, and the cup will becomo the absolute pi-opcrty of anyone winning it twice. The following will be asked to act as judges:—ltcso Classes, Messrs W. A. P. Clarkson and J. Rodgcrs; ladies' classes, Mrs A. Boyle; all other classes, Mr W. Jones. Moss will bo supplied to exhibitors by tho secretary after December Ist. In tho Magistrate's Court yesterday morning, whan a case against a taxicab driver, charged with having failed to obey tho orders of a constable, came up for hearing, Sub-Inspector McGratn rnado a suggestion that tho whole matter of tho control cf cab traffic after the theatre should bo gono into, and tho decision arrived at should bo reduced to writing and handed to the police lor their guidanoe. Until July last, a state of chaos reigned, cabs and taxi-cabs being jumbleu together in one glorious muddle. Mr v. fhrop, inspector of the City Council, complained at about that time thnt the drivers refused to tako notice of his orders, and threatened to drive over him when ho attempted to enforce them. Mr Thrby asked the police to assist him. A scheme was drawn up, by which tho taxi-cabs wero ordered to wait in single filo on t!& east side of tho theatre, and the cabs on the west. This arrangement appeared to work well. On tho 80th of this month a constable ordered the driver of a handcome cab to leavo tho taxi stand. Tlie man refused, and tho constable reported the matter. The first intimation that the police officers received that tho by-law had been altered wa3 when the man's employer called u\*m tho Sub-inspector and said that it hnd. Enquiry elicited that the regulation had no longer any effect, and that the old order—or disorder —had been returned to. Tlio polioo authorities contend .that such a system of come-by-chanoo is a danger to tho public, and likely to become an acute and very real poril in tho event of fire or other panic m tho thoatro itself. Tho annual meeting of the New Brighton burl Butnuig and LiR , -&iving Oiuu was held at tiit) schoolroom Una night. Mr V. Drake presided. Tho report stated that the eiub had a membership of &. Aβ tho club had bean, fornieu so late in the econoa, not much woiic imd been done. Ibe emu had, however, purchased a life-caving reel at 'a coat of about £'y, and a demonstration ixi lite-baying iiad been given by the members, assisted by some of tho prominent swimmers from the city. Tho club hoped to enlist tho sympathy of tho lJorough Council in'providing another reel, so that a n?el couid be operated on cither side, of the pier. The baiiince-siieet showed receipts JLI6 lo& Id, and Uie expenditure 4.13 15s 7U, leaving a credit balance of £2 19s (id. The aiL-uts were valued at £11 le, and there were no liabilities.

A civic reception is being arranged at Wellington for the American Dnvis Cup team, which arrives by iho Zealandia on Tuesday next. A mo.ct:n;* of tho commit too nf the , I Lyttelton Gymnasium Swimming Cl.ib. was held this week, when final arrangements were mnde, in conjunction w'itn the Indies' Club, for the • day, on Thursday next. It was decided to p-iaoo a £0 yards' Chi!) handicap, and :i i:3 yards school hoys' handicap on t.'io rirogramnsc. entries for which cl»>so tl: - -> OTCTiing. At a ir.ectinp of tho Phillirstc xn Kindergarten Committee it was resolved to hold a jumble sale on the 21st of Dwombor. Mr Onnandy ws appointed treasurer. A public ineetn;; ■will ho held in tho Philhpstowu Public School next week, to place tho affair.* iof tho oommittco before tho residents. Mr Cawley has agreed to ;;ddress ihft meeting. An innovation, as far as C)-,r>f;-hun-n is concerned lias been niadr , in eonnoo tion with tho approaching , rai el*vtions. Ati enterprising kincmatotiraph photographer has ial:<~u pictures Jof local Parliamentary candidate* ad- ! dressing tho electors and t)it>>o aro to Ibe screened in a few After tho picture of a candidate has hi-en shown there will be thrown on tho screen his message, to tho electors. A member of the Executive of the Exhibition told a reporter yesterday that he believed the Exhibition would ha mast valuable to tho workers n» shoving what oouid bo done, by evoiulionary as opposed to revolutionary methods. Tho work on ovhib.tion had iKM'n done by local workmen, locally trained, nnd had hc-i-n produce*! solely by training ar.d 'earning. (.Vn:!d tho revolutionary party show such work from its members ? At a special session of the Juvenilo Court, held at a quarter to five yesterday afternoon, before Mr H. \V. Bishop, S.M., a l>oy aged thirteen years and eleven mouths pleaded guilty to tho thoft of two cycles and a cycle lamp. Aftor being admonished, ho was «!onviotcd and ordered to come up for •sentence when caMed upon, and to pay 7s tkl, being the amount o7 the damavv "*o»ifc l>o ono of tho machines, from which ho hod removed tho hamilebara. A pc-int raised at tho meeting of tho Canterbury Cricket Association las*, night was that as tho Lancaster ParkBoard of Control would draw 2o per cent, of the gato at the representative erieket matches, the Bonird should pay its sharo of tho advertising in connection with tho matches. The point mot with general agreement at first sig-Jit., but it was recognised en going into the question that there were too many difficulties in the- way. Dealing with spelling in his addict on Thursday night on the practical problems of education, Mr E. Watkins. principal of tho Training College, pointed to tho handicap of tho British child in comparison with tho German or French child through the chaotic. English spoiling. He hoped that success would attend the euorts of tho American educationists who were aiming at a simplified spoiling. Much ridicule had been poured upon this ctforfc, which was absolutely unlair. Ho (Mr Watkins) had a Rood deal of sympathy with a littlo boy who argued: ''That thero didn't ought to ho any 'v , in eciesorsJ" and who, boijig i'-jis-lish, spelt "whoa" "hwen." At tho out-door political meeting addressed by Mr J. 33. Potherick at the Cariton bridge last trouble aroso out of a certain question relating to the late Mr T. E. Taylor, which was asked the candidate. Mr Petuerick denied that ho had mado tho statement referred to by his questioner and immediately someone cried but *' liar." Mr Pcthcriok demanded to know who had said ho was a liar, and an elderly man stated that he did. Whereupon Mr Pothorick called on tho man "to como up and deal with mo." The man canto up with his hands in his pockets, and Air Petherick is alleged to have struck him in the cheat. There wcro cries of "Dip him in tho river," and a rush was made for Mr Petherick, and but for the intervention of ono of tho audience more trouble would have ensued. Matters- then gradually quietened down. At the Native LnncU Court at Kaiapoi Judge M. Gili'cddcr had occasion to epeak plainly in respect of an application tor the consent of the Court to grant power to a Maori to sell some, of nic land where there was but a slender, estate left for his maintenance. He pointed out tho Legislature intended that no nativo should dispossess himself of land unless ho would be in an independent position nftor the partition in hU estate had taken place , . All the applications, too, wore in the direction oi the Maoris soiling lands to Europeans; it was never tho case that tho Maoris were purchasing lands from the Europeans. In the case l:eforo him it had been represented that the nativo. with the proooods cf tho salo which the Court was asked to sanction, would probably buy some adjacent land, and if that took place ho (tho judge; might consider it reasonable to permit the salo asked for. Tho Court was not to he made n moans wherohy. for the sake of obtaining cash nt the present time, tho natives might booomo impoverished in tho future by parting with their lands. During the past week the Young Women's Christian Associations of the world have boon uniting in their annual week of prayer. This great organisation has now nearly '5000 branches, with a uicmbci -ship of ; 400,000. To realise its four-fold ideal —tho social, physical, intellectual, and spiritual development of girls—it employs _ a groat army of workers to organise and develop its various departments. America loads tho world in this as in many other forms of social work. Only of late years has the Association in Australasia begun to cxi tond its activities to rcarh all clones <•) I young women. Since the advent of trained occrelancs from England and America, the older associations of Sydney and Adelaide have developed tho educational sido of their work omnzint'y, provided homes for countless homoks* girls, and done splendid work in lactones and workrooms.

The Terra Nova was floated out of dovk yesterday mcrning, and berthed at tho breastwork, alongside tho Harbour Board's Store.

Most of tho stores from England aro duo to arrive in I<vttelton thw morning, in tho Now Zoakind Shipping Co.« steamer Romuera.
