TO-DAY'S TELEGRAMS.

[By Telegraph.] [Special to Standard.] Auckland, This day. The weather is wet and the ground heavy for the Taranaki—Auckland interprovincial match this afternoon. The visitors are firm favorites especially in view of the weather. Auckland have a better team than Saturday's representativss, but do not expect to win. The match commences at half-past three. The £4OO deposit has been paid on account of the purchase of the Waihi Sphinx property. When completed the shareholders will receive £4OOO and one-fifth of the total shares paid up. Wellington, This day. Forty entries have been received for the Ladies' Golf Championship next week, and 62 for the Handicap. Dunedin, Christchurch, Wellington, Napier, and Palmerston North, are among those represented. The Pan-Anglican Conference at Lambert next year will be attended by Bishop Cowie, the Primate, and all the New Zealand Bishops except Bishop Wallis, who will look after the North Island and Bishop Mules, who wiil supervise the South. One question for discussion is whether the colony's Primates shall have the title of ArchBishop.

Feilding, This clay. At a meeting of the Rangitikei and Manawatu Licensed Victuallers yesterday, it was resolved that this association amalgamate with Palmerston and Wanganui for the purpose of making combined action at the next general election for the protection of the interests of the trade. The meeting was largely attended and was very enthusiastic. Patea, This day. The s.s. Waverley went aground trying to cross the bar. There is no great damage, but she is unlikely to get off this tide. Dunedin, This day. Thomas Eeid, aged 56 years, was killed yesterday by a fall of coal in the Fernhill mine. Deceased was a miner of thirty years' experience, and leaves a widow and six grown-up children.
