(FROM (TOR OWN CO&Ufc&PONIffiNT.) ' N ' Oaklylb, Friday. On Monday last a handicap rifle tournament took place on the Patea range. Twenty-three pazes in kind, presented by Patea tradesmen, were offered — a sweepstake being 1 added. The following were the scores : —

The district prize money was also fired for at the same time. Those who shared it were : — Carey, jun. " 61 Kitcning, J 61 Pringle, R. M 59 Graham, J. ... ... ... 59 King, A. G 59 Datsent, W 58 The Patea Cadets competed at the range on Wednesday for the district prizes. Distances, 100, 150, 200 yards, five shots at each range. McCarty took first honors, with, the, creditable serar& t>? 48, Gowland being second with the same number ; twenty-seven competed. The permission of the harbor board being obtained to have the schooner Jane Anderson launched across the breakwater, Captain Bendall called for tenders, and accepted that of Messrs Harris and Gerrie for the labor alone, £100. All gear and appliances will be found for the con- ] tractors. Last evening the Rev. J. Treadwell lectured in the Presbyterian Church on ancient Roman coins, and their connection with Scripture history. At intervals during the lecture, the choir, under the leadership of Mr. King, and assisted by memoers of tue English Church choir, sang hymns. The Rev. J. Torry presided. There is still no reply from wanganui rifles. As arranged, our part of the match came off, and our score was wired to them last Saturday. Nearly a week has elapsed, and yet we are not aware whether or not they fired. The Patea cricket club has been chal« lenged by eleven cricketers from the hanks and public works offices, and the match will come off to-morrow. William Holtz, who met With a serious accident at the last Waverley races, and has been in the Patea hospital since. On Tuesday his leg was amputated below the. ]tnee. !M*e poor feZlow was very weak, but has survived the operation, and is doing well up to the present. At the District Court, held here on "Wednesday by Judge Shaw, William Dawson, a young man, recently in Mr, Parrington's employment, was charged

with the larceny of .£B, the property of Mr. Quinlivau, Hotwem. M.r..Bflxlejyxnaa& appeared as crown prosecutor, and the prisoner ably defended himself. The jury returned a verdict -of not guilty. An amusing incident oocurred while the jury were being called. Prisoner claimed the privilege of challenging any person to whose Bitting on the jury he had an objection. Two gentlemen of somewhat "horsey" persuasion, were thus challenged, Dawson evidently thinking that he had sufficient of the horsey element in Mr. Quinlivan.

Francis Williamson was afterwards examined in bankruptcy. The creditors present were far from being satisfied with the result.
