vri board, arrived at Auckland late last Bvening (10 o'clock), two days behind her contract time. As, however, she left San Francisco three days lute, she has made up a dayvon her passage. Owing to pressure of matter, we are compelled to hold over a quantity of nows by her till next issue. SKTTMJfG Up. — The settling up on the Tradesmen's Racing Club's meeting takes place at the Timaru Hotel at eight[o'clook this evening. Piscatorial. — A large number of rod, moki, kawai, and other fish were caught by hook and line and by net inside and outside the Breakwater yesterday. Judging from appearances, the port seems to be swarming with fish at the present timo, and it is a matter for regret that the Pishing Company are not taking more active steps to secure good huuls while, there is a chance of obtaining them. Moki were yesterday selling at two shillings and sixpence 'for full size, cod for one shilling and sixpence the pair, and kawai at: almost any ; fjgure up to three shillings.

The Dbi'th op Watkr Insidk the Brhakwa'ter.— ln reference to tho telegram from Dunedin which we published yesterday bearing upon the depth of .water inside the breakwater, and tho loading of English ships, and with which Captain Russell's name is connected, we have taken the trouble to make fuller onquirics. The result is highly satisfactory to Timaru, and we shall publish it m full m our next issue, pressure of space precluding our doing so this morning. There seoms to have been a misunderstanding somewhere.: : : Congregational Picnic. — Among the many picnics that came off yesterday, was the annual outing of the Choir of the Congregational ' Church and ■ the • teachers of tho Sunday school. These, with tho minister of course, and friends, making up v party of about 70, started about 8 o'clock, m a number of expresses, for the. Limestone Bush, Tiko Flat. Their destination was react »ed about 11.30, and after lunching the party rambled through the bush and scrambled to tho top of the high limestone bluff and down agaiii. Some hunted for ferns, bnt their search, was not well rewarded, very few. kinds being found. Aftor a pleasant rambling through the cool woods for about three hours, tl party was summoned to tea, and a start was made for home at half -post five. Tilharu was reached about half-past eight, and all appeared well pleased with this way they had spent the twelve hours they were away from home. Alteration m Bailway Bates. — Th*; Hon.

Mr |Bryce. returned to Hamilton f rom , Kawhia on Sunday,, having gone to .the coast for the purpose of ascertaining the opinions of the natives; m regard to the matter of the boundary survey. • Most of tho tribes, through, their, representatives, agreed, to the proposals of tW Minister, and made the necessary application, to have the survey carried out. The Kgatimahuta ; (Tawhiao's tribe) > alone. • hold out, but as then* possessions m the aggregate are insignificant, very vlittle^- trouble will be caused by their stupidity. At tlie time of Mr Bryce's visit, to Kawhia .Tuwhiap, was at Mokoikainga, at theheadjof the Whainguroa harbor, but the Ifaaye : Minister did not go out ofhis way to .see lu'm, and the. old chief must feel that his glory, has indeed .departed.
