City Council Elections.

The elections on Tuesday last resulted in the return v of Mr Courtney for Ponsonby Ward, Mr Beecrof fc being close up, and Mr W. B. White for Grafton, with Mr Garlick a good second. Probably, Messrs Beecroft and Garlick mil both make a future fight of it, when their present friends and new supporters, will, no doubt, ensure greater success for them. Mr Powley only got a matter of fifty odd votes, so that \l was unseated for Grafton, and his cherished ™£?t T- S J or $ c Ma y<**lty of Auckland lamshedmto thin air. Mrs Endean has no reason to feel discouraged. She has a good example before her m Mrs Matson who was twice defeated for Parnell, but has at last vanquished her opponents by heading the poll m that borough. And Mrs Matson will, we believe, make a good councillor. 8
