COLONIAL TELEGRAMS.
(from our own correspondents.")
Napier, last night. The Gisborne and Poverty Bay Clubs’ representatives arrived yesterday morning. They had rather a rough trip and did not look over bright, having been all very ill during the voyage. Both crews had a turn in the Sunbeam ” on the river yesterday, and made a very favorable impression. The visitors appear to have done a lot ot hard work, and are in very good fettle. I think Poverty Bay will win its race, but I am very doubtful about Gisborne. A special meeting of the Education Board was held this morning in connection with the mutter of Mr Wilson, the h'fcad master of the Spit School. The Board oonfirmrd the action of the Chairmau, Mr Ormond, iu suspending Mr Wilson, and resolved that he should cease to he master of the Port Ahuriri School from that date.
The Council Chamber was crowded this afternoon, when a special meeting of the Harbor Board was held to consider Mr Ormond’s motion for ainalgama- ing the offices of Secretary and Engineer. After a long discussion the motion was negatived and consequently Mr Carr’s appointment as Engineer holds good, Invercargill, last night. At a meeting of the Amalgamated Society of Railway Servants on Saturday night.it was resolved to convey to the Commissioners an expression of the unanimous opinion of the meeting that the proposal of the Insurance Bill is opposed to the interests and liberties of employees, aud they hope that no further attempt would be made to force the scheme on them. The meeting pledged themselves to give a unanimous vote against the Bill, and resolved to ask the Commissioners to publish the result of the voting throughout the Colony, Timaru, last night. At a meeting on Saturday evening of the Timaru branch of lhe Society of Railway Servants, 60 members being present, it was resolved to give a unanimous vote against lhe Baiiway Insurance .Bill. The meeting viewed with regret the action o! ths Commissioners in pressing somewhat arbitrary measures in favor of their insurance scheme, Wellington, last night, In the Supreme Court to day the motion by the defendants for a new trial in the libel action Miroh v. the proprietors of ths Waipawa Mail was refused, with ten guineas coals. The sculling match between Hearn and Stephenson was postponed on Saturday through ths water being too rough. It was to soma oi’ this evatslug, but was again postponed. Auckland, last night. The sports in the Domain on Saturday were a great success and the best show of the week. The weather was parfact and the crowd was gigantic. Only 80.000 tickets were prepared and they wars all sold out before one o'clock, when the gatekeepers, having then no cheek upon them, some of them plundered wholesale, and many were detected and instantly dismissed.
