(From j Our Own Correspondent. )

The senior football^m'atoih "between the local team anjd Clirton was play- , ed here on, Thursday last, and resulted in a win for the home team by 13 y to 6. The visiting forwards were too good for our men, and the game "was," mostly a forward one. In the opeui.' play the local team ghoweid up 'to'^ better advantage, any. at times some gooti passing was indulged in by Albbott. and.Hlarper. J. Lawston .wasin good nick' for kiaking goals, geting" two out of 3. The last shot was - at a very difficult .angle/ but LawjSonL :t made a splendid shot, the ball strik-,-ing the goal post. Mr f&opikins gave , general 'satisfaction as referee. , - iln the report of the special meet— . ing of the Borough Council, it was reported that Cr. Bennett did not ' ; thirik Ike ratefpfcyevs would be in -1 f avojur of a loan , for electrical light- '^ ing purposes. r This was an error, dr. Bennett strongly opposed letting,, . any company, have the right, u^itil the 1 feelimg of the ratepayers had been ; given in the matter. A splendid prograiame has. been arranged for -the band „ on , Tlwrsjday nighi, an;d the funds of the band promise to be ejubstantially in— , creased thereby. ' , The shibject of letting the rigfrts of; lighting the town by elecfeicity to a ;' company is the topic of the day, aiinji a ytrong /feeling is nunving that the : » liglKtirtg should be niiunicipalised and' if -the ratepayers are wise they, will: not, vote for a con>pany to run , it, ,' >yib.en it can be run just as - well by,, the Borougih or probably, ever to a, great deal better advantage to -fife ratepayers . than can be clone by - a/t com-pamf. , "--"
