BOROUGH COUNCIL;

The ordinary monthly meeting of the above was held last night. Present: His Worship the Mayor (Mr J. J. McDonald), Ora Bichardson, Gibbons, Bead, Whit£, Bemington, Hunt, Signall, j and Anderson. ■ I Correspondence,: From Messrs Thdinfjeon and Co., asking permission of Council to insert photo, of members in a pictorial calendar.—Request acceded to. From Mr J. W. Thompson, protesting against the Football Union charging- or excluding hoys from the Park. , Cr. Hunt moved, and Cr. Bichardson seconded, that children under 12 be admitted free. ' jCr. Gibbons moved as an amendment tliat ladies and children under 12 be admitted free. Cr. Anderson seconded the amendment. Cr. Bead thought the motions very unfair to footballers, as they were going to expense in inducing outside clubs to play in Marton, and -were entitled to the remuneration they received. In place of throwing obstacles in their way they should be encouraged. Cr. Bemington objected to the continual closing of the gates in small matches. The public did not object to paying, for representative matches, but were not going to be charged for every tin-pot game. Cr. Signall expressed similar sentiments, and stated that charges were continually made and boys excluded. He would like to ask the secretary of the Union through the Mayor -when the end of the season would be. The secretary: The match between Marton and Feilding is the last. Boys have not been chai'ged. Cr. Signall said he had himself been at the gate and had' seen children congregatr ed there and excluded. In answer to a question,' the gatekeeper said his instructions were to charge everybody. Cr. Bead's assertion that ladies had only been charged on one occasion was wrong, and he produced-an advertisement in regard to next Wednesday's Tnatch stating that ladies would have to pay 6d. Cr. Gibbons said that legally they could not charge admission at all, and he considered ratepayers should be allowed to walk on to the, Park if they wished without being asked to pay. Fully £1000 had been spent by the ratepayers on the Park, and •he thought they were entitled to go there when they pleased. He did not, however, think ratepayers objected to paying for "rep." matches. For the amendment: Crs Gibbons,^ 'Signall, Bemington, and Anderson. Against: Crs. Bead, Hunt, and Bichardson. Cr. White did- not vote. Cr. White moved that the letter lie on the table. He did not think charges should be made for local matches. The time had arrived when the Council should go into the matter of what the charges should be and when they should be levied. Cr. Bead seconded the amendment. Ayes 2, Noes 6. The report of the Inspector of Nuisances referred to further complaints against Mr Schmidt. Crs. Bead and Signall were of opinion that the contractor should have got someone to take his place during his sickness.

-V YOUNG LADY'S PITIABLE STATE.

The trials which a young lady resident of Onehunga (Auckland), has gone through (says a local paper) are so extraordinary as to deserve publication. The truth of her statements has been thoroughly investigated and proved. "I can very truly claim," said Miss Cunningham, when called upon at her residence in Selwyn Street, Onehunga, "that as I am only, eighteen, my troubles have been extraordinary for my age. I had always been weakly and subject to heavy colds, so that, when two years ago I was attacked by bronchitis, I was ill-prepared to withstand it. I became very feverish, and a continual .cough racked my frama My chest was exceedingly jiainful and my breathing oppressed. I grew weak, thin - and pale, and exposure to changes of temperature caused violent fits of coughing, sometimes bringing up blood." "Your trials have indeed been remarkable for one so young," said the reporter. "Nor was that all," said Miss Cunningham, "the bronchitis brought on consumption. I wasted away, and suffered from weakening night sweats, and despite medical treatment and tonics I appeared to he rapidly declining. One day whilst weak and ill I read that Dr Williams' pink iiills for pale people were useful in consumption, so I sent for some. Somehow,l seemed to Relievo in them, and after taking two Ipaxes, I ceytainly felt better. I continued wjth them ior some time longer, and they certainly restored me to robust health, jfow every symptom of bronchitis and consumption has gone, and I am stronger and in brighter spirits than ever I was. I really cannot recommend Dr Williams' pipk pills too. highly." ; By replacing the lost blood and increasing the resistent power of the lungs, Dr ..Williams' pink pills have cured many cases consumption. They so increase the patient's strength that he or she is enabled %a "rally from the weakness, and eventually to throw off consumption and other ailments. These pills have cured many cases of rheumatism, sciatica, lumbago,, effects of influenza and pneumonia., anaemia, debility weak heart, skin, diseases, St. Vitus' dance, paralysis, etc. Sold by chemists and storekeepers, and by the Dr. Williams' "Medicine Co., Wellington, three shillings net box. six boxes sixteen and six, post fr«e They contain no poison and cannot Jjarm tke most delicate child! or lady*
