Captain Edwin wired at 12.45-p.m. as follows: —"Moderate to strong northerly winds after 12 hours from now; gla.s:i fall; tides good; sea considerable on coast; indications for rain." The paragraph appearing in last night's issue which stated that the Lower Wirau River Board had resolved to discontinue the arrangement with the Borough Council as to nlling in Collie's Hollow and Lock-up Creek was incorrect. The motion was not put, and it therefore lapsed. ' A gang of men spent last night shovelling a channel from the sea side, of the Boulder Bank, but the "fresh in the river proved of too gentle a character to crown the operations with success. The result is disappointing, as the chanrieV made will be promptly silted up again with the next southeaster. Two civil cases were disposed of in the Magistrate's Court this- interning by Mr T. Scott-Smith, S.M., as follow :_W. B. Girling v. L. Redwood, claim 13s 6d; judgment by default tor the amount, and 6s costs, ii-. 1 arker v. Campbell, claim for 18s 6d; judgment for the amount, with 5s costs. . The novel entertainment, which a number of enthusiasts are promoting in aid of the Blenheim Fire Brigade s competition apparatus fund, and which will take place in the Drill Shed next week, is to be repeated ; atrSeddon a few nights later on, in aid of the Blenheim Garrison Band. Professor C. A. Liphtwark, the wellknown horse educator, whose performances in the district some years ago will be well remembered, is again on a visit to Blenheim. The Professor s treatment is humane. The horse is "made to understand what it has got to do, and does it. The object of each act of treatment is so fully explained and the.me,thod,is,so simple that, even the veriest novice' need not go astray. Professor Lichtwark will, give exhjbi-. tions, and establish classes, at the Criterion Stables, commencing on. Wednesday lVext.

The Police Court was occupied this afternoon with a case in which Ernest Edward Robinson was charged with assaulting Peter Anderson on two oc : casions by riding over him. Hie alleged offences occurred on the first and second days of the Marlborough Racin>; Club's autumn meeting. The complainant, for whom Mr Bailhe appeared, deposed that he had kept the feeding yards at the races, and the defendant had refused to pay the fee of Is for the paddocking of his horse. He had not charged for feeding, which would have been Is 6d. The defendant said he went out to the races by the train. His sisters asked him to get their trap. He led the horse out of the paddock by a rope around its neck. He was never asked for a fee. Did not notice Anderson there. In the second case Robinson was charged with assaulting Anderson by striking him with his fist and tearing his coat. Complainant produced the torn waistcoat: He said that defendant had thrice refused to pay, whereupon he had caught the horse by the bridle and resisted defendant's departure. The coat was too much torn to bring home from the Racecourse. Chas. Teschemaker, a steward of the Club, said he heard the squabble. Witness told defendant he should pay the Is fee, as complainant had paid the Club a sum for the privilege. Defendant said he had paid at the gate, and,that was sufficient. John Reardon and George Armstrong also gave evidence for the complainant. The latter said he saw defendant take hold of Anderson by the coat and push him out of the way. For the defence Walter George Chisnall, racehorse owner, Springlands, said there was no assault. This version nvas supported by Mr Heasely. Defendant denied laying hands on the complainant. The first charge was dismissed, and defendant was fined 10s, without costs, on the second charge, Mr McNab asked, and was granted, leave to appeal on a question of law.
