The quarrel is over the right of oertain parties to train their horses on the Parewanni rafleonnrae, and an attempt ta eject the supposed offenders. On Friday the qnarrel reached its climax, when the <- big talk" culminated in a free fipht. _ The belligorents, headed by Winhana Hunia and Mohi Kopiha, fought on horseback with sticks Tho fight w*s started at the back of the Parewanni bush, and during the struggle the parties traversed tho sandhills to the back of the Parewanui school. Some very severe outs and bruises were received in the encounter, Wilson Hunia especially being badly out abont the head. The racehorse ATaramft and two young bloods were injured in the fight. Constable Gleepon was sent for, and on arriving found nearly all tho natives on the disputed gronnd, and a lively discussion going on. He ordered them to disperse at once, or he would send for assistance and have them all arrested. They dispersed, but on Snnday and Monday were out again with firearms and ammunition.

An Anglican mission has been started in Auckland (says the correspondent of the Otigo Daily Times) oalled the' " Chnroh Mission to the Lanes." Though founded by tho Anglican body and maintained under its auspices, it will work without regard to denominationalism. A cottage has been procured, to be known as " the Church Mission cottage," for rescne work, and three ladies appointed. They have started a school for ragged children! who are without decent clothing to go to public schools, about thirty attending. Ihe Rev. L. FitzGerald, of St. Matthew's, is chaplain and direotor. The mission is supported by voluntary subscriptions from members of the various Anglican ohnrehes in the city and suburbs. The ladies of the mission labour among girls who are drifting on the streets— teaching them sewing, interesting themselves in their reformation, and, where necessary, getting them transferred to Mrs. Cowie's Women's Home at Parnell, with whioh institution they ara n touoh and with the authorities of whioh they co-operate. Lord Glasgow has given three guineas towards the funds of the mission.

Smith's, the Cash Draper, Cuba-street. He can show you one of the largest and best stooks of boys' suits, overcoats, and reefers in the colony; and for girls' warm cloaks, capes.ulsters and mackintoshes, no one can show a better assortment.— Advt.
