Yesterday morning Mr T. W. Hall, Chairman of the Commission, also wired to Captain Sutler to the same effect, adding that it was unfair to Mra Joweey to cast so much responsibility on her. In the afternoon Mr Hall received the following brief but satisfactory reply from Captain Suttcr :— " Jowsey goes buck to-day." Sporting. — A number of people proceeded to the Timaru racecourse yesterday afternoor to witness two private matches arranged tc take plnce there. Tho first was a half mil< flat race between Mr G. C. Miles' TTncli Henry and Mr K. H. Benzon'sg m Edelweiss owners up, the former winning easily by i length. A scratch hnlf-mile flat race fo: which there were six entries followed namely, Mr Cramond's Tommy, Mr Melton': Pills, Mr Agnew's Unit, Mr Jefferson's Man Ann, MrLukey's Fawn, and Mr — Miss Fenwick. A slashing race down th< straight resulted m a victory by a. head foi Unit, ridden by Mr Benzon, Fawn second Pills third. Oamaiip Lakbikins. — Lady Reidlmvcr recently invited a large number of Ounmri boys to an entertainment which was provider for their delectation, nnd the Oamaru Mai commented rather unfavorably on the un ruliness of the children, and expressed ai opinion that most of them would have beer better m their beds. This has drawn t somewhat spirited reply from Lady Reid haven, who says that from all sides she " henrd a great deal regarding the larrikir classes of Oamaru," and she wished to tesl for herself if the " young vagabonds" wer< us bad as they were painted. Her Ladyship declares that though the lads were noisy and unruly, still during tho evening she never heard one bad or disrespectful word. Timahu Licensing Co.usiittee. — Tho quarterly meeting of tho Timaru Licensing Committee) was held yesterday. PresentMr E. G. Kerr (Chairman), and Messrs E G. Stcricker and John Jackson. The police reported satisfactorily on the manner m which the various hotels hnd been conducted, nc complaint against tsny one of them havinp been made. The transfer of the license ol the Ship Hotel to J. S. Hislop was granted The adjourned application for a renewa of the license of the Lynwood Hote was called on, but the applicant die not appear. Tho police reported tha 1 the house had been Bhut up bj order of tho Licensing Committee, and th< improvements required had not been com menced. Tho application was therefon struck out. Fibe m Waimate Bush. — During th( elorm of last Saturday evening a fire was dis covered m a part of Mr Hayes' bush near hii saw mill but on the other 6ide of the road The timber m this pan, of the bush has beer cut, but a great quantity of dead stuff lay strewn around, and valuable stacks of fencing posts and firewood were near. The gale was so severe at the time it was feared a grout amount of damage would be caused by the fire, as nothing could be done to check it About six o'clock the wind shifted, causing the llames from tlie burning debris to fly ir. another direction, and by this change a large amount of wood ready for carting was saved, and also the mill and some dwelling houses near. About fourteen acres of refuse bush were burned, but Mr Hayes' loss is not heavy. Two boys are being proceeded against by the police for having lighted the fire. Tbleobapii Fobms and Envelopes. — Tenders for the supply of 4,000,000 telegraph envelopes and 16,000,000 telegraph forms were invited both at Home and m tho colony fome time ago by the Postmaster-General. For tho former the tender of Waterlow and Sons, London (£369) was accepted. The lowest colonial tinder was £597 18s -M, and was sent m by a Dunedin firm. For forms, the tender of the Government Printer (£1252 delivered m Wellington) was accepted. Cowan and Sons, London, offered to do the work for £1229 3s 4d, but this sum was only f.o.b. m London. The lowest colonial tender, apart from that of the Government Printer, was £1283 6a Bd. This amount, it is worthy of note, was actually lower than the prices of three London firms (including Waterlow and Sons) who tendered. Tho result seems to show that as regards ordinary printing the colonial printers can compete m price vritl those at Home, but are unable to do so ir reference to the supply of envelopes on which a good deal of girl labor is employed. Resident Magisthate's Court, Timaetj — At this Court yesterday, before Joseph Beewick, Esq , 8.M., Anthony Wilkinson ond J. B. O'Brien, charged with, drunkenness, were discharged, having been m custody since Saturday. T. Goldstono and wife were charged, on tho information of Bartholomew O'Rourke, with assaulting him on August 30th, at Pleasant Point. It appeared from the evidence that the complainant had made some observations reflecting on the character for sobriety of a neighbor's wife, which, coming to the ears of tho defendants (who were friends of tho person aspersed), they took yip the quarrel, and, going to the rcsidonco of complainant, assaulted him. O'Rourke, whose head was bandaged, said tho blow was inflicted by a bar of iron, but this the defendants absolutely denied, and produced a thick stick which they declared they had used. The Bench considored the assault proved, and iuflicted a fine of 40s (half to go to complainant), costs of Court 13s, witnesses' expenses 38s, and solicitor's fee 21« ; m all, £5 12s. The amount of the fine was afterwards subscribed by residents of Pleasant Point, and handed to Mr Goldstone on the arrival of tho up train from Timaru. Makikihi.-«-Ouv correspondent writes : — On Friday evening last avoeal and musical ontertaintnent was given by some local amateurs assisted by several friends from both Timaru and Waimate. Tho entertainment was held m Mr Bourn's largo grain store, and a more suitable place could not havo been found. The building was beautifully decorated, the stago especially being artistically got yip. Mr Jas. Poff presided, and m a fow appropriate romarks introduced the various performers. Mr K. Capstick opened the proceedings with an overture on the piano and was followed by Misß J. GaiU, who sang " Angels are Calling " m a style that deserved special monlion. Next cainc Mr M. Ryan with an Irish jig m his usual good form, and it brought so mauj rounds of applause, that ho had to appeal again. Mr J. Bowio gave a recitation "Hhainua O'Brien," which evoked consider able arausoment. Mr D. Mitchell's comii song "Champagno and Oysters," broughi down tho house with laughter, and ho wai deservedly encored. Miss Gaitt gave " Forget mc-not," and Mr Buchanan an amußinj Scottish song " Wish mo Granny saw jo noo.' Tho songs "Sailing," by Mr Shepherd, o Timaru, " Macksorloy'e "Twins," by Mr D Mitchell, nnd "Aisy goin' Fum,' ! by M: Black, wore all thoroughly appreciated. A sailor's hornpipo by Mr M. Ryan, m supo rior style, earned for him many rounds of higl encomiums. This concluded the first part o tho programme, and was followod by the laughable farce, " Paddy Miles," tho cast< being— Dr Coutoe, Mr Mitchell ; his son, Mt M'Cluro j Mrs Fidget, Mrs Waters ; he: daughter Jane, Miss Liizie Goostroy ; Miles boy, Mr H. Mathews ; Joe, the gardener, Ml Buchanan ; Reuben, a countryman, Mr Blackmore, juur. One and nil acquitted themselvc! most creditably, and the farce, which was t most enjoyable one, passed off without n hitch. The Chairman theu lliankcd tho performers on behalf of tho promoters of th( entertainment, nnd tho seats having beer clcured, dancing was commenced, and to kept up till tho early morn. I must say lh< entertainment, on tho wholo was most »uo ccssful, there beiDg about 160 personi present. The night was fino, and an abund, aaco of refreshment* waj procurable.

A letter was read from the South . Canterbury Board of Education, stating that 1 they could not carry out the recomr mendation of the Committee with reference >4 to the erection of a liimtor s house at the Side School.

Mr Gillies and Mr Jackson were ■ s appointed Visitors to the Side School for tho j ensuing month. Accounts to the amount of _ £22 2a 2d were passed for payment, and the c Committee then adjourned. r The best if not the only remedy for con- ] ( sumption. Doctors disagree as to the relative value of Cod Liver Oil and Hypophosphites n of lime and Soda m consumption and wasting v diseases. The Hypophosphites give verve tj power and act ns a tonic, while Cod Liver Oil H heals the inflammation, (jives strength and „ flesh. Being both contained m Scott's v Emulsion of Pure Cod Liver Oil with Hypon phosphites tho effect produced by the use of a this remedy is wonderful. Thousands who . have been cured by it can testify to this fact, c 10 n A LOVELT Chaplet. — A late fashion reit port save : " Nothing can be prettier than a a chaplet of hop vines m blossom."
