THE HARBOUR BOARD AND THE DAIRY INDUSTRY.

The proceedings of the Harbonr Board yesterday made plain the fact that its members aro possessed of a clear conviction of the paramount importanoo of the export

produsg trade of tho Port of Wellington, 'iho Committee eppoiuted to consider the application for renewal of lease of the premHea of the Wellington Meat h xport Comliany rooommonded among other things, ' That the Company covenant in the l«ase to freeze and store butter and other produce, j and to provide 1 ibour for grading and storing during the continuance of the lea3C, at rates ' not exceeding those mado from time lo time ! for similar services in any other part of the . colony " The system of cold storage anl , grading of dairy produce that was introduced here some 12 months ago, at tho instanoe | of the Hon. John M Kenzie, a* carried on at , the cold stores oF the Wellington Meat Export Company, ha« proved of great value to our producers, and this wisa provis on made by tho Harbonr Board in extending tho lease of tho Company will strengthen the hands of tho Agricultural Department, benefit tho port, and give added stability to the dairy and allied industries. In this matter the Harbour Board hasdisplayod the toresight and business acumen that, fortunately tor Wellington, usually characterises its proceedings Two columns of miscellaneous reading matter will be found on the fourth page, including reports of the meeting of the City Council, the inq'iest on the Nowtown Park suicide, and tho Foresters' district meeting. There were 1487 arrivals, and 10n3 depar-tu-ea, in and from the oolony last month. His xoellenoy tho Governor, accompanied by Lady ola-gow, the Ladies Alici*, Augusta, and Dorothy Boyle, Major Elliot (Private Secretary), and Captain OampbellPreston (A.D.C ), paid a visit to tho Italian mau-o'-war before she left for Auokland yosterday afternoon. A salute of 18 guaa was fired as the party left for the shore. Judge Gudgeon, of the Native Lands Court, has been appointod a Judgo of the Validation Court. ' ¥> Samuel Johnston, Mastprton, and James Thomas Quin, Mauriceville, have teen appointed Registrars of Marriages, &c ; and George Alfred- Robieson, Mauriceville, and John Philip Armstrong, Palmerston North, Deputy Registrars. Part of the County of Wairarapa North and of the Borough of Masterton has boon constituted the " Upper Plain Irrigation District" under Part 11. of "The Land Drainage Act, 1893." The regulations as to tront and perch fishing within the Wellington acclimatization district have been amended by the substitution of the following for regulation 5 : -" Every such license shall entitle the person named therein to fish with one rod and line only, and with tho following baits : Natural or artificial fly, natural or artificial minnow, and any small indigenous fi3h. gras3hopp9rs, boetlos, spiders, creepers, and worms. Provided that no worm shall be usod except npon a running-line attached to a rod and reel, nor shall the holder of any licenso issued hereunder, or any other person, use any set rod or line for the purpose of taking trout or peroh in or f rom any of the waters aforesaid . " ■ The district of Masterton, under " The Registrationof Birtbsond Deaths A0t,1875." has been divided into two, to ba called the Mauriceville and Masterton districts respectively, and to be co-terminous with the marriage districts of tho samo name. Letters of naturalisation have been issued to Azeez Mehek, dealer, and Fadlalla Khouri, shopkeoper, of Wellington ; and Charles Edward Anderson and Alexander Lindqvist, farmers, of Matakohe. The Trades Council, at its meeting last night, passed a resolution protesting against tho principle of removing a licensed house from the heart of the city to a suburb, as being detrimental to the interests of tho workers. Mr. Michael Davitt is to reach Wellington by the Mawhera to morrow morning On "arrival he will be driven in a four-in-hand, which Mr. Lane has prodded", to the Occidental Hotel, where the formal welcome will take place at 3p m. It is expected that the Skating Rink will be crowded at the evening meeting. A sitting of tho Bankruptcy Court has been fixed for next Friday, by whioh time the Chief Justice is expected to be back in Wellington. Among tho passengers by the Hauroto to Sydney to-day were Mr. G. F. Smith, As-sistant-Secretary to the Wellington Harbonr Board, who joins the R.M.S. Ophir at Sydney for London ; Mr. J. E. Gilruth, of the Department of Agrionltnre, who proceeds to Marselle^ by the Messageriea Maritimes line, en route for Pa-is ; Mr E. F. May, of Greatford, who connects with tfre Rotokino at Sydney t n route for Calcutta ; and Brigadier Hoskins, of the Salvation Army, returning to Sydney. The Mayor of Melrose is to represent the Borough Council at the oonferenoe of delegates for the election of membors of the District Hospital Board and Hospital Trust, and i |ounoillor Baylis will act in a similar capacity at the conference for the election of members of the United District Charitable Aid Board and Benevolent Trmt. An information charging W. H. M'Clelland, licensee of the Foresters' Arms Hotel, Ghuznee-street, with Sunday trading, has been laid by the police. The case is set down for Monday next. Old Thames residents will learn with regret of the death of Mr. William Murdoch, owner of Block 27, one of thi principal residential sections of the goldfield. The cause of death wiis blood-poisoning, arising from a carbuncle on tho neck. The City Rate Collector (Mr J. Chappie) has broken down through overwork, and has received a month's leave of absence. It is. perhaps hardly a healthy sign for the f'lturo of the political woman that the organisations that have sprunsr into ex'.ntenca since Bhe has obtained the franchise a-o apparently driftiug in f o purely Party coteries, bucb, at any rase, has been the fate of two local feminine organisations, that to day are really ranged beneath the banner* of two of our political leaders. ■ Now we are told that yet another " Society" ia projeoted in Wellington. It istobeoalled the" Women's Institute," and, according to its promoters, one of its main objects will be to induce women " to stand together as women, apart from all considerations of class or Party." A woman's institute upon the3e lino 3, be the linos faithfully observed, is much to be desired, for it embodies the "ideal" she mu«tkaep in view if ehe i? to worthily aspiro to the higher political status of a place in Parliament. We are not quite clear what is moant. but we are told that " the eduoational work will be carried on by the Institute, and the social work by branches of the Institute and fnrthor, that tho members intend to inaugurate their society by holding a mock Parliament:." This, wo might suggest, is hardly the be3t way to onsuro an avoidanoo of Party politics, but if it is to be, oareful observance of the time limit as laid down by the new Standing Orders would modify the danger. An auctioneer's lioen3e has been issued to Mr. G. H. Scales by the City Counoil. Nino Shorthorn bulU came up by the Hauroto from tho South thi3 morning. They havo been purchased by Mr. Daly, on behalf of Mr. W. 11. Reid, Manaia, and aro fine Bpcjimen* of their kind, bred by several of the best-known stook-owners in the South laL.ud The Public Works Committee of the Melroso Borou?h Counoil will recommend, at the Counoil meeting next Tuesday evening, that tenders be oilled for the formation of Gorhardt and Short-streets, Vogeltown; that tenders be aocep^ed for the formation of Harriaon-atreet, Brooklyn ; and that accounts amounting to .£27 12i 5d bo passed for payment. The statement of Charles T. Williams, compositor, shows hia liabilities to bo £15 3 ), and hia assets as nil. His chief unsecured creditors are:— rmpire Loan Co., .£l9 3s ; Commercial Trust and Loan Company, lls ; J Griffiths, pawnbroker, £\.O ; aud Jones and Aahdown, tailors, £G ss. The bankrupt came to Wellington six years ago uuder engagement to Messrs Whitaker Uros., booksellors, and remained in their employment two and u-half years. Sinoe then he had had no constant employment, with the exoeption of being appointed Seorjtary to the Working Men's Club. This engaged his full timo only during tho latter six months. He resigned this position in order to manage a branch bnsiness for Mr. Dutton at Nowtown, whioh proved a failure. He had a wile and five childien, none of thorn earning anything, while two have b^en constantly attending the Hospital for treatment. He had been obliged to borrow money from the loan sooiotios at high interest in order to procuro thn necessaries Mifo. The biiikinpt was at present in no occupation ; and two distress-wai rants hid been issued against him this week Hia failure he attributes to irreglar i mployment, siokuesa, aad pressure of creditoi-3. The quarterly meeting of th't Chamber of Commerce was to have tiken place yesterday, but only somo seven members, including tho President (Mr. A. de B. Brandon) attended, and the meeting consequently lapsed for want of a quorum. That well-aotod and well-staged drama, "'lhe Prodigal Daughter," was ropeated for the fourth timo last night at the Opera Houso 'I he realistic representation of the steoplenhaso compelled tho admiration of tho audience, and tho other ppiritod situatons wore provoca'ivo of loud applause. '1 ho perfect traijii'ig of the uuniorous burst's br mi.; lit upon tho feta'jf 1 is am itter of wonder. At two porio'ls during tho perform mca Mrs Holt was prtHcnt^d with very beautiful bnur|uofß. ih'-rewa^a largo audience last ovoMiiif To-nwla"Tuo Prodigal Daughter" will be repeated.
