LOCAL AND GENERAL. I .—. — , — ♦ It is understood that the command of tho Coronation Contingent will be offered to Colonel Porter, now commanding the New Zealand Seventh Contingent in South Africa. It was intended to hold a meeting in Christchurch to-day to consider the question of a ' presentation and welcome to Inspector Pender from his Canterbury friends. Truth, says: — "Mo man is more | re,spectod throughout the length and broadth of Canterbury than Mr. Pender, and there is no doubt that tho movement here will have universal support." Tho Wellington Amalgamated Society of Painters and Decorators notifies that it has filed an application with the Clerk of Awards for an interpretation of certain clauses of the lost award of the Arbitration Court in connection with the painting trade. The wet weather at the end of last week prevented any bowling being indulged in on Saturday except on the ■Wellington green, where a match for the Edwin Feathers was played between the holders, of the Wellington Club, and a challenging team from Victoria. The result was a win for the challengers, the scores being: — Victoria — Snaddon, Mack, Gooder, Brackenridge (skip), 27 ; Wellington — Drummond, Brunskill, Bell, Churchward (skip), 24. When the appeal case of Mere Raihi aud others v. the Glasgow Assets Board was heard and the appeal uphold, two similar cases were held over. Mr. Myers, for tho respondent Board, intimated to tho Court of Appeal this morning that an arrangement had been arrived at by which the appeal in these two cases should be allowed, with costs of the Supremo Court. The position now is that all three cases brought by the natives against the Board must be heard by the Supreme Court, which had previously decided that they were frivolous ana vexatious. Mr. Andrew Jack has been appointed Acting-Captain of the Manawatu Rifle Cadet Volunteers. The Wesloyan Methodist quarterly meeting is convened for to-morrow evenIng in the vestry of Wesley Church.
