At a meeting of Friendly Societies' representatives to night, a telegram was received from Christehnreh asking that the.demonstration should be postponed until October 16th, as a boat would not be avnilublo for tho 15th, but it wus resolved that as the original duto of the demonstration, October 15tb, had been definitely fixed, the Union Company should be communicated with. If the demonstration , was postponed it would have to be for n week as Friday is a most unsuitable day for the demonstration. Applications were received from various trade unions asking to be allowed to take part m the processions, etc., but as the matter was purely a Friendly Societies affair, it was decided not to accedo to tho request. j Blbsueim, Sept. 18.

The lumpers at Lyttelton have struck work ! again, and this time the strike is not confined to one particular Company a* on the last occ asion. About a fortnight ago tho New Zeay land Shipping Company, the Shaw-Saviil • and Albion Company, rind tho Union ShipII ping Company combined together and inti- '■ mated t"o the Immpcrs' Union that they a would adhere to the rate of wages previously given m Lyttelton, Is 3d per hour and 2s g overtime, these rates to prevail throughout i the colony. An attempt by the lumpers to . induce the Shipping Companies to alter their decision failed, and now the lumpers have refused to work any of the vessels belonging to the three Companies. The Union boats Te Anou and Tckapo were worked today by their crews and a few emigrants by the ToDgariro travelling by them. The - lumpers continued working on the Kaikoura - till 2 p.m., when they struck, demanding la 6d per hour or 32s per day. The Lyti telton manager for the New Zealand Shipping i Company informed them that if they struck 3 the Company would employ no more men of . the Lumpers' Union. The steamer's cargo s was then handled by her crew, and it is ex- ' pected she will be ready to leavo at the, advertised time. It is stated that a meeting of the lumpers' is to bo held at Lyttelton tonight, when Mr H. Allwright, M.H.8., President of the Union, will endeavor to bring 1 about a compromise. 1 , DU2TEDIN, Sept. 18. ; Hunt and Wooda have been matched for ' £200 and the championship of the colony, s three distances, to be run here on October ; 17th. A will case came before the Jndgo today, when a husband opposed the grant- . ing of probate of a will mado by his . wife without his knowledge, leaving her , money to her father and mother. Tho will had been signed and witnessed m the presenco . of hor brother and sister. It waa 6hown that the decease was subject to illusions during her illness. The Judge adjourned the appli- ' cation, as the evidence was not clear as to ■ what da'e the mental aberrations were first manifested. '■ The whole of the men belonging to the • Lumpers' Union struck work to-day.
