At a meeting of directors of the Caledonian Society a committee was appointed to interview the Jockey Club re obtaining the race-course for sports on New Year's Day. This society, following the good example of the Napier one, intend offering substantial money prizes for competition among- the children of tha district. Of course, they are not yet atrong enough to offer scholarships, but the money offered will be highly acceptable in many . family. In my opinion the committee are aoting with great forethought in giving money— the parents being the best judges of what will be of most use to the young student. I am glad to add that the funds of the Society show a large balance to credit.

The R.M. (Mr Turnbull) held a special Court here yesterday to hear the case of Baker v. Reed and Baker v. Arihi te Nairn. The first case was one of assault, which consisted of gripping the plaintiff in the arm whioh was sore from a horse bite. Mr Howard appeared for plaintiff, and the defendant conducted his own oase, creating much amusement in so doing. The R.M. decided that the case would be met by the defendant being bound over in his own recognisance for six months in the sum of £10, with £1 10s 6d costs. There appears to have been a grievance between the parties which had occasioned one or two altercations The case Baker v. Arihi te Nahu occupied the Court some hours. Briefly, the case was whether a certain mare who had been served by Somnus had to be paid for by Arihi, or her husband (Hamiora). The R.M. decided that Arihi was not liable. Mr Baker's claim was therefore reduced to to about the amount Arihi admitted. Claim £18 19s, judgment for £9 ss, costs 235, witnesses' expenses 16s, solicitor's fee £1 lis 6d. Mr Howard for plaintiff, Mjr Dinwiddie for defendant.
