NEWS AIVJ) JSOTES. » Owing to press of matter, we are compelled to hold over leader, report of Farmers' Union meeting, &c. A meeting of the Native Appellate Court will be held here at an early date. Mrs Major has presented the Zealandia Fair with a very massive gold bangle. I The tenders received by the County Council for the last list of works advertised were more numerous than for the past three years. The nominations for the Egmont County Gun Club fixture total 32, including the Australian craok " Annandale " and the New Zealand champion, C. H. Chavannes. The Native Land Court has not yet concluded its sittings here. It is Judge Dunbar Johnson's intention to hold a sitting of the Court at Opunake about the end of the month. It is announced that Bishop WaUis 1 will leave towards the end of the year on a few months' visit to England. An organ recently purchased by St. Mary's Anglican Church was used for the first time on Sunday at the evening service. The instrument was built by Mr T. Hughes, and is really well made. Mr Drew, of Palmerston North, a practical organist, reported highly of the tone and workmanship. There are only three stops at present, but it is the intention of the church authorities to add more as funds will permit, so that when completed they will have a capital little instrument. An Auckland wire states that at a public meeting it was resolved, on the motion of the Mayor, seconded by the JBon. E. Mitohelson, that the eminently patriotic and statesmanlike services rendered on behalf of New Zealand to the Empire by < the Premier call for due recognition by the people of New Zealand, and it was decided that the people of Auckland should tender adequate recognition, in the form of a purse of sovereigns, prior to his departure. A committee was appointed to carry out the suggestions. Mr G. H. Scales despatched the barque Weathersfield for London on Saturday morning last with 4526 bales of wool and tow, 412 cases of kauri gum, and 9 casks pelts. Tho Weathersfield is now in command of Captain Cooper, late Chief Officer of the ship Auckland. She has hitherto been noted for consisteat good passages on the ran Home, and is expected to render a good account of herself. The Weathersfield will be followed on the berth by tho Jessie Osborne, which vessel arrived in Wellington on Friday, the 14th, after a very smart passage of 14 days from Brisbane. She is expected to get away early in March. At tbe Waimate Boad Board's meeting on Thursday, rather a hasty adjournment from basinesß was made. Members present noticed the concentrated gaze of the clerk at something happening in the I street (the windows being 1 raised), and, upon an excited exclamation by the clerk, 11 They're at it," alji left their seats to see what was in the wind, when they witnessed a regular " set to " between a colored gentleman and a swagger. Things were going <merrily for a few minutes (in the street), firstly one and then'the other of the combatants being down, and the serious business of tbe Board was for the time being utterly forgotten. Finally, the little side issue came to an end, the colored gentleman giving in, and members resumed their seats, smiling at the remark of the clerk : " Shall I record on the minutes the adjournment, Mr Chairman ?" The Waitara Mail reports that about 300 ratives assembled at Manakorihi, Waitara, on Tuesday, for the purpose of discussing recent legislation pertaining to the race. The local member of the Maori Council was accused of sacrificing the interest of his brethren. • for it was contended the doings of the Council were not m accord with the wishes of the natives in these parts. He was asked why he allowed a policeman to be appointed to spy into their doings and to interfere with, their mode of life in their own kaiangas, and so much warmth of feeling was diaplayed that the said Councillor (Earaitana letupe) threatened to resign. During the korero some beer was liberally j handed round, men and women alike partaking thereof. Tawhanga, the native constable, seeing the women drinking, told 1 them to desist, but their answer was one of defiance, and Tawhanga came down and informed Constable Beattie. We understand a series of Court oases will be ' the result. The male natives contend that j neither policemen had a right to come to the pah, and, ac for serving the drink, one of the chiefs said, referring to the assembled people : " They are all my guests ; we can ' eat and drink what we like, else there are two laws— one for Maori and another iot pakeha." The natives between the Cliffs and Waitotara, are all under the influence of Te Whiti, and that prophet disowns all connection with the Counoil. He advises that no attention be paid to the recommendations, and that, in sbort, the only authority to reoognise is that of the chief of Parihaka. From what we can gather, the Maori Councils and Maori Land Administration Acts of 1900 are just as dead letters in this district. There is no movement towards reform whatever, and the influence of what is known as the Young Maori Party is nil. Wellington Cash Drapery Company announces a monster sale and great bargains.
