The new aonitary bye laws were to have been adopted at a fipeolal meeting of the Jfofotigh Council lust night, bat on the lUßgestlon. of tho Mayor their adoption was deferred for one raootb. There U only one copy of the bye-law* In tbe poneulon of the Council, and the Town Clerk was Instructed to write to Wellington for a dozen more.

His humor is refined, Bpogtaneona, and peculiarly unique. Tbe election of the Sew Zealand football teanl Is freely eauvaesed at fmuß<nn ( and the proportion of 14 from tbe North Island to six from the booth Island has occasioned grave snrprise. It was thought that Otago, In the face of last year's successful tour, wodld have been awarded four repi. at least, and that If wing for. wards were ohoaoDj dither Frleßt or M'Lareo, would have found a place. The former Is showing great form this season, and unlike M'Kenzle, never plays offside. Southland, with its grand set of forwards, has uneupaobedly boen panned o»er altogether. 11l was stated at the Borough Connoll meeting last night tbab 73 feet of shingle had been taken out; of s^n six-Inch artesian well that Is being sui . on the Bsachroad. The aobual depth Bnnli is 545 feet, but progress at present Is slow owing to a very hard bolt of Btrata b?ing passed throttgh. Cr. Smith remarked that there wos an impression onteide that the late contractor had nod baoo dealt with fairly by the Council, an opinion that was endorsed by Cr. Cohen, bnti Cr. Seal gave the meeting to understand that tbe contractor had received every consideration I from the Council. In fntare the overseer will hand in a report of the work done at the well for eaoh Council meeting. Id consequence of the Improvements that Mr Kyan ia effecting to the Criterion Hotel, he Is desirous of having' tbe present oabitand in that looallty removed, Mr Kvan made a requosb to this effect at the Council moating last night. Cr. Cranby intimated that Mr Hoadley, ia offarlDg tha Criterion lease, stipulated that the cab9tand would be removed on tbe necessary application being made, and the idea prevailed amongst counolllors that the auctioneer in making this Btatsrngnt wan laboring under a misi apprehension. Cr, Cohen strongly opposed tbe request, declaring that " bhetisbutand ohonld nob ba removed at the whim of every storekeeper. 1 ' The Public Works Committee were Instructed to consider the matter. The days aport at Hastings was suitably wound up by a social gathering held last evening in the Piinceßs Theatre. This was orlßlnally Intended for the benefit of the Town Band's funds, but the members generously agreed to amalgamate with the tpartßCommlttee.and amost successful gathering was tbe result. The prizes won during the day were presented by Mr A. L. I). Ftasar, who on behalf of the committee thanked all who had given their anlitanoe.' At the danca which followed Mr W. Edwards acted as M.C., and the muaio was supplied by Miss Caulton and Messrs Barrett and Marbrook. When tbe gay party dispersed everyone voted tbe gathering tbe moat enjoyable that had been hold In Hastings for some time. Mr Ayßoa, enrator of the Wellington AcolimatlsaMon Society, took away with him from Woiroa, where he had been engaged fixing up the hatchery, high opinions of Waikaremoana as a breeding place for trout, the water being absolutely j pare, and, owing to the rooky sides, quite : free from mud. Mr Ayson (says the Guardian) considers that to stock Willkaremoana and the rivers running into and oat of the lake will require 150,000 trout ova per year for four or five years, and this the society, at the Instance of the Government, is prepared to do. The Hod Mr Carroll is Interesting himself very much In this direotlon, and he Is endeavoring to secure a pair of deer to liberate in the wild fastnesses of the Urlwera j oonntry. When trout fishing and deer stalking are added to the attractions of j Waikaremoana tonristß will be more readily induced to visit this lovely spot. TheCjaeen's jubilee will not be oelebrated in any otn'atal way by the Napier Borough Counoll. At last night's meeting the Mayor said while they ware all most Inyal and patriotic snbjpcts of Her Majesty the disastrous flood that bad overtaken Hawke's Bty wonld prevent the Council spending any of Its funds for the pnrposes of a celebration. At tbe same time, he cave tho military authotl-. tics an assuraoca that tha proposed demonstration in Napier would. bave the hearty support of the Councillors and himself as Mayor Individually, Crs. Cohen, Neal, Cranby, and Welsman concurred la tbe Mayor's remarks, believing that It wonld be a oiuel mockery to have a jollification with anch depressing surroundings In Qa.vka's Biy at the present time, thongh the Counoll would have been pleased to commemorate the jubilee In a befitting way had their prospects j been brighter, Ia announcing hie intention of depart- 1 Ing for England, the Key, A, C. York took oooasion to reprove bii congregation in tbn following plain terms, according to thn Daily Times :— " 1 may say with all boldness that since I have been in Mastorton I have found that spiritual Ufa is dead. When I oame amongst you you wore all spiritual zeal, and I wonld never look for anything better bban to have finished my work among you Thai zsal is gono, and by working whore spiritual life li dead I am bringing oo myself n spiritual deadnesß. I feel that I run bringing on myself a mortification of my j own spiritual life. I may aay In closing I that never, never, will you find any I clergyman bold enough who will ever be able to fight against this spiritual dead" ness, It is like tonohlog mouth to mouth with a corpse— breathing death. If any clergyman lives Bmone spiritual deadness, It kills the spiritual life Id him. We part in three months from now. It may be for your good." Our Hastings correspondent writing yesterday says:— This morning before Mr JBailby, JP,, two roysterers, Messrs Lake and Cnrran, were charged with being drnnk and disorderly. They were convicted and discharged ou promising to leave the town immediately.— There were one or two accidents to-day at the snorts but none of a serious nature. Some people have a happy knaok of going to s sports meeting with the idea that the bicycle track Is tbe best place to promenado on, without any forethought as to tbe ÜBe ft Is being put to. One little child wbb nearly badly hurt and a ovdlst had a narrow escape of a severe accident owing to a lady losing her mind In the presence of danger. One of the horses entered for i the pony race suddenly developed and lnstinot for Ibusk jumping worthy of Colonel Cody's Wild West. He managed to unseat bis rider amidst the guffaws of the onlookers, and finally another recalcitrant pony put his foot through the spokea of a speolal " safety."— Master Howard's appearanoe on a U bioyole was much admired and appreciated. Tha news of the death of Mr Reohab Harding, eldest son of Mr John H&idiog, of Mount Vernon, Walpnkurau, will be received with tho deepest regret throughout Hawke's Bay. Mr Hatdiag, who was 53 years of ago at the time of bl« death, had been ailing for some time, and passed away at 5 o'clock yesterday morning. As a member of the Hawke's Bay Education Board be rendered great service to the oonntry ichools, whose interests he always bad at heart, and he was also an esteemed member of the Crown Lands Board, previous to ill-health nroesstbatlng his withdrawal from public life, Rn bad also sat br a member of the Napier Harbor Board, Walpttwa County Connoll, Walpnkuran Hospital Bond, And Board of High School Governors.
