The dispute between the Butchers'Association of Christchurch and the CityCouncil in regard to using the abattoirsis still being maintained. A large imajority of butchers are holding aloofIfrom the institution, as the freezingcompanies are not coming in with them.The companies maintain that they neednot kill at the abattoirs unless theychoose to do so, and they are killing forbutchers at their private abattoirs. TheCouncil, however, isgoing to take a testcase to see if it cannot compel thecompanies to use its abattoirs in killingmeat for local consumption. If the caseis decided in favor of the Council all the'butchers will probably use themunicipalabattoirs.

Mr W. Park interviewed the Councillast evening to urge the necessity forcleaning the western footpath in Li'nton-street. Ho spoke of the need for thework and said the expenditure necessarywould be very small—in fact a man hadstated in writing that he was prepared togrub the weeds from all the formed andgravelled footpaths in the Borough (notincluded in the maintenance contract-*)for £12. This statement Mr Park pro-duced. The report of the Public WorksCommittee was adverse to" the workbeing done, as provision had not beenmade for it on the estimates. TheCouncil adopted the report of the sub-committee. Mr Park then craved leaveto carryout the work at hisown expense,which permission the Council granted._ A few figures regarding certain of theBorough accounts should prove interesting to our readers. In the libraryaccount last year there was a creditbalance at the end of the financial yearMarch, 31st, 1903;of £24 4s 9d. Duringthe four months since, viz., April Ist toJuly 31st, thesum of £57 12s 3d wasre-ceived, making a total of £83 17s, butagainst-that, during the four monthsnamed, £60 10s 8d was speufr, whichleft the account in credit at the. end ofI-last month by £23 6s 4d.

Yesterday's Wanganui Chroniclesays :—lt is our painful duty this morn-ing to record the death of two youngmarried women, Mrs Albert Newmanand Mrs Fred. Carlisle, both of whomwere well known and respected residentsof Wanganui. Mrs Newman, whopassed away on Saturday, after a longand painful illness, was a, daughter ofour old townsman, Mr Samuel Viucent.Of her it may ba said that she was agood daughter, a loving wife, and a fondmother. The. late Mrs Carlisle, neeCbllis,:-was a. native of New Plymouth.She was of a pleasant and amiable dis-position, and was possessed of no meanartistic ability. As an elocutionist, thedeceased lady was well known locally,especially in connection with the Wan-ganui Musical and Literary Associa-tion. The news of her death, whichoccurred yesterday, will be learned withdeepiegret by all her friends. In bothcases the sadness of death is intensifiedby the youth of the deceased, both MrsNewman and Mrs Carlisle having, so faras years are concerned, been cut off inthe heyday of life, To the sorrowinghusbands and motherless children wetender our sincere sympathy. :Mr Brough, who was appointed care-taker to the Sports' Ground last eveningby the Borough Council, has had ex-perience at the class ofwork he will becalled upon to do which should makejhim ah excellent man for the position.According to his own statement he ha 3played cricket at Lord's and the CrystalPalace grounds, besides having beenamember of first-class New Zealandteams. At most of the places where hehas played he has been engaged in thepreparation of cricket pitches, lawns,etc., and cricketers should therefore be"\yell looked after during the comingseason.'

that Lord Salisbury's' statesmanship,strength, patience, foresight, and self-control, when seen in true historic per-spective, will be held in ever increasinghonour.
The Times and Daily News alikeemphasize his capacity for governmentrather than the origination of ideas andhis power of gauging and controllingnew forces and keeping a straight road.The News adds that the people fromwhom he asked little gave him much.Few men raised by birth to greatdignities have been more conspicuouslyadequate in filling them all.
Personal Paints AndAnecdotes.A kroniinent public man recently saidof Lord Salisbury : " Never in moderntimes—not., excepting Bismark—has
there been such a dictator as he,and no-body knows the fact better thau Lordj''Salisbury, and, let it be said, nobody ismore indifferent to it." He has beendescribed as being-equally indifferent ofeither Parliamentary or newspapercriticism. He not only believed in him-self, but in his family, and the way inwhich he transformed the Cabinet intothe " Hotel Cecil" is matter of recenthistory.
He had a pious horror of new faces,and is supposed to have had many ac-quaintances, but few friends, aad fewerconfidants. If he saw someone comingin the street whom he knew butslightly,but to whom he mnst stop and speakshould they meet, he would turn andlook into a shop window or gaze straightahead of him, entirely ignoring thepasser-by. There are plenty prominentmembers of his own party in the Houseof Commons with whom he never ex-changed a word. His favourite club wastheAthensum, where men of learningdocongregate.

■iMiny day one of his secretaries obser-ved that his chief was starting out forhis lunch without his umbrella. Herushed for it and offered it to thePremier"No, no," replied the then Premier.|" I've lost too many in the Athenaeum.Icannot trust these Bishops." And the;noble' "■ Marquis, had appointed themajority of them !The reference to' Bishops recalls inthe biography by Messrs Eodgers nndNoyle, a characteristic incident whichoccurred hxrfccent-iimes at'MarlborouehHouse, and which- illustrates the notedstatesman's mental aloofness. He, theBishop of London, and a few others,happened to be in aroom with the King.His Majesty said to the Bishop : "Doyou know what Lord Salisbury has justsaid about you ? He pointed you outand asked,'VVho is thatyoung-lookingcleric?1" To save the embarrassmentof the Bishop -the .Premier's comprq.misihg choice, be it recollected—theKing, with -that, invariable genialitywhich is all his'own, added : " Bat youneed not mind that. I have just shownhim the latest photograph of myself,an.d, .after looking at it for somemoments in silence, he said sympathe-tically, 'Poorold Buller.1 " ,
Here are some of the terms of praiseand dispraise that have been applied toLord Salisbury by foe and friend : Alath painted to look like iron, a fatalist,a pessimist, a patriot, a dictator, a strongman who knows his strong mind, afunk, a master offlouts and jibes, when-ever and wherever he appears he ismaster, hestill towers head and shouldersabove any contemporary politician.
The ex-Prime Minster acquired a re-spectable reputation for unaccountableblunders. Ho never defended hiserrorsorsought toexplain them away. As aconsequence they were the sooner for-gotten. His oratory was a happy mix-ture of the grave and the ridiculous. Hissentences were invariably well-rounded,and at the outset of Iris speech terse andlucid. As he proceeded, however, theyincreased in length, with tberesult thatthey were occasionally hard to follow.He never spoke at too great a length.He hated verbosity and those who in-dulged in it. .
A certain Bishop, well-known for hisverbosity, rose to address the House ofLords on a very important occasion."lI will divide my speech under twelveheads," he said, to the discomfort of hisaudience. The Marquis of Salisburyrose and courteously begged to boallowed to interpese with a little anec-dote. "Afriend of mine was returninghome late one night," he said, "whenopposite St. Paul's hesaw an intoxicatedman trying to ascertain the time on thebig clock there. Just then it began tostrike, and slowly tolled out twelve. Theman listened, looked hard at the clock,and said, ' Confound you, why couldu'tyou have said that all at once ?' " TheBishop heartily joined in the laughterthat followed, and took the hint.When a child, the young Lordstartled his nurse by exclaiming, " Oh,Betty, I wish I was a cat!" "La'Lord Robert," she said, " how can youwish yourself a beast ? "When I thinkof the many times I must dress andundress before I die," answered Eng-land s future Premier, "I wish myclothes grew on my back." This detes-tation of commonplace labour was agreat-weakness .of his throughout life.His ruh'ng virtue was love of. family,and he was given the satisfaction of see-ing his offsprings " come on" in thepolitical world.
"Much regard for power Lord Salis-bury certainly has" (said a writer a fewyears ago) " a regard which overcomesthe instincts which draw him when outof office towards the pursuits of thefarmer on the one hand and thescientiston the other. Here is a pleasant story,the truth ofwhich perhaps Lord Salis-bury would not question, that helps toShow hispower of detachment, when
called upon to take office in the kit Ccnservative Government, Lord Salisburywas making some experiments at hi.laboratory at Hatfield, in which a ctrtain bit ofwire played a part. He gavethe wire to his factotum, who put it by.Six years later, immediately upon quit-ting office, Lord Salisbarr" asked for thewire, and the factotum instantly pro-duced it.

FOOTBALL.The Mararoa, with the football repi;,
was berthed at Auckland at 8 o'-clockon Sunday evening. - The victoriousteam was welcomed by a crowd of be-tween two and three thousand persons;who cheered lußtily. '■ 'The team was received by the RugbyUnion officials and driven to the EoyalHotel. Yesterday the team was offi-dally received by the Mayor, who com-plimented them upon "their achieve-ments. Oh Wednesday they take partin a match North v. South Island atAlexander Park.
The manager, Mr Hyams, in an in-terview, said the forwards were un-doubtedly the best which,had repre-sented the colony. A feature of theirplay was their evenness; The predic-tion that the backs (would, be foundweak in defence had not. beeif fulfilled.They defended in good style' whencalled upon, but were usually aggras;sive. ■ He regarded the Queenslanderisas a more" formidable combination thanNew South Wales, despite the scoresagainst both teams,
Taranaki played Wairarapa at Mas;terton on Saturday, Taranaki, defeatingWairarapa. The home team were in theleadin the second spell and it looked asif.fchey would win._ However, just be-fore the call of time Glasgow scored aneasytry for Taranaki. The ball waskicked up in the air, and, landing on aplayer's head, bounced toward the" localgoal. Glasgow, who was playing agreat forward game, snapped it upandscored behind the posts.. Glasgow "con-verted, and the game ended—Taranaki,13points; Wairarapa, 9 points.
The Taranaki reps, arrived in Pal-merston yesterday- The local Union1will attend to theirenteH&nment during; their stay hsre. t. ~*^&f
It is most unfortunate for the Mana-watu Unionthat McMinn will be unablotoplay on Wednesday. The injuries hereceived on Saturday, however, make itimpossible for him to take his place.His absence will undoubtedly weakenthe team, as not only is he unmatchedin-hooking the ball in the scrum, but hisgeneralship is worth so much to theteam.

The Yacht Race.The Event Described.
Shamrock Outclassed."A Perfect Furore"
' Press Association—Copyright.New York, Saturday.
Both yachts started with baby jib top-sails, but soon took them in, the windfreshening, to between twelve and seven-teen knots. Tho Reliance had- thewindward berth and easily blanketed theShamrock, which held her own on thesecond tack, but in tho next tack theReliance, pointing higher, obtained asubstantial lead, and turned the markthree minutes ahead.
Tho Americans were smarter in set-ting sails for the mn home, the Sham-rock having trouble with tho jib andwasted several seconds. "The yacht Reliance steadily increasedher lead, and it was apparent the Sham-rock was no match for her in therunning.
The yachts travelled so fast thattheyleft many excursion boats and tugshopelessly behind.
Tho Beliance crossed the lino amid aperfect furore of syrens and whistles.
Tho winner took 3 hours 32 minutesto complete the course. The Shamrockfinished nine minutes later.
Sir T. Lipton, in an interview, de-clared his confidence in the Shamrockremains unshaken, and said that morewind would bring out the Shamrock'sstrong points. He added that thehandling of.the Keliauce was simplyperfect.

A VISIT TO AMERICA.Youth at the Helm.
A Walking Delegate.The Trend Towards Comedy.
Threer things impressed Mr Fred.Duval during his recent yisit to theUnited States—the comparative absenceof babies, the number of "people- wearingspectacles, and the predominance ofyoung men in the most responsiblepositions. Mr Duval states that it isastonishing the small number of infantsthatare to be seen, perambulators beinga rarity in the parks and open spaceswhere they might be expected to befound. A large majority of the peopleappear to he short-sighted, and wearglasses, and though he asked many foran explanation of this phenomenon,' hewas not able to obtain a satisfactoryreason, unless it be a result of the tre-mendous bustle of American life and themanner in which children are forced onat school. The editors of a number ofthe leading American dailies are men ofabout 30 years of age, and the head =bf agreat printing firm with which' Mrl)uval did business was a youth of 25 or26. Mr Duval passes the same remarkas Mr J. F. Praser, "America at Work,"that old men aronot to beseen, although,as a result of the strenuous life*; mengrow old abnormally early. Tnus, .theeditor of one paper met reckoned !hewould be an old man at 45, but hoped tohave made sufficient by then to retire incomfort. Mr Duval states that there aretwo great struggles before the UnitedStates, one relating to capital and labourand the other being over the white andblack'problem. Regarding the former,the strain is even now very intense, anda tremendous upheaval seems certain.When ho was in New York 150,000menemployed in the building trade were outon strike, and from all over the countryreports came of gigantic industrial dis-turbances. One day all the waiters inthe restaurants of Cnicago went out;another day it was the newsboys—4oooof them, and the next day the messen-gers. When at 'Frisco, Mr Duval wasdriven by some friends to the CliffHouse, the show place, where thousandsof people go on Sunday for their dinner.They had just completed a plate of soupand were ordering some crab salad,when a walking delegate came along,stood in front of the hotel, and blew hiswhistle. Every servant in the house,even to the head cook, instantly left offwork,: and forv-the rest of the meal theguests had to fish round for themselves.Such a condition of industrial turmoilas prevails at present, it would seem,cannot much longer continue. It isimpossible at this distance to realise theextremely bitter feeling that prevails inregard to the color question, and MrDuval predicts a big fight over thisquestion some day in the near future.Regarding matters theatrical, theNewZealand manager has many interestingpoints to talk about. He spent fiveweeks in one incessantround of theatre-going, morning, afternoon, and night,and though it was the off season he sawabout everything that was worth seeing.,The whole trendof theatrical business,he says, is towards the comedy. TheAmerican takes his theatre-going as atonic—a period of relaxation from thestrenuous whirl of fife—and all that hewants is7to-b'e made to laugh. He willgo to the theatre and laugh continuouslyfor a couple of hours, though he maykick himself when he'eomes outfor hav-ing laughed at all. Thus it happensthat such things as problem plays arodead, and in all the performances thathe saw there was just the veriest shreadof plot. The successful pieces are thosewhich are pure fun-makers, and intowhich thebest of comedy and of vaud-rille are introduced. Humorous Dutch-,men are all the rage, and they generallyrun in pairs—a big fat one and a,small one. They speak broken English,and hi then: patter get off some.very funny things. The stageIrishman has gone out of date—he isnot seen. Possibly the resentment ofthe Irish section of the population to theburlesque of their countrymen led to hisdisappearance. In the middle of gor-geous productions, eclipsing in stage,effects the best Sydney or Melbournepantomines, aman from nowhere whohas hit upon some original trick or songwill come in, do his turn, and disappear.-The mounting of most of the plays ismagnificent, and is greatly enhanced bythe brilliancy of the lighting. Thev
Americans use five times the amount of,light that we do, not only in theirtheatres, .but in the streets and every-where. Electrical devices play a very:important part in stage scenes ;for in-stance, in the ballets, the dancers havetheir costumes adorned with manycolored lights, which are flicked on andoff at will, the illuminant being sup-plied by a battery concealed about theperson. Dancing and marching arebrought to great perfection, and surpassanything that Mr Duval had previouslyseen.

THE MAID AND THEMILLIONAIRE.
They met on shipboard. It iras aspring crowing wwtwarj, with few pas-sengers. Hnnt:ngton had been winteringwith his jacht on the Mediterranean, andhad sanfc his boat orer ahead, of him, whileh* stopped in London to replenish hiswardrobe and take in. a, few shows. Hehad expected k> lessen the tedium of thevoyage in the Mystic by sticking to cardsin the smoke-Loom. Instead of that, thetrip seemed all too short after ho had metPatiences Merediub.
Notlvag could bo more incongruous thj.nthis young -woman and her name. She■svas never in repose, slia talked ratherloud, said -whatever came into her head,and flirted desperately with every offberon board untnl she met Huntsngton. Himslia simply appropriated as soon ns sheheard that he was a millionaire and a,yacht owner. . I"Ib must ble heavenly to be so rich thatmoney has no meaning to you,'1 she saJd tohim on the second day of their acqua'nt-ance. "Never to hayo to stop and think,before you do anything, whether you canafford it! I went to Germany because Icouldn't afford to stay at home. Youknow I live witli Aunt Louisa, who had totake tiho baths. I haven't a cent exceptwhat she gives me.'1It was this frankness that charmed Huu-tington. And she was so pretty. £>lielooked like he? name.
The third day she found a fly in the oint-ment.
"Only think," she told him as they stoodleaning ovei- the rail together watching forporpoises, "they say that I am after yourmousy! I don't mind for myself, but it-must bo dreadful for you, always' to feelthat every time anybody seems to like you,somebody else will put that construction onit. That's where poverty Scores one overwealth. Now, when anyone likes me, Iknow there's nobbing back of it. Was italways so with you^ Even when you -jrerwa, boy?'
She turned her big brown eyes full onhini, and there was actually pity ia tibVrliquid depths.
In vain Huntington's friends tried toargue him out of his infatuation."You know absolutely nothing abouther, old man," his chum Vance reminded
him."Thab is the charm of it, my boy," was
tfta reply. "Each day is a fresh revel-ation."
"She is aAer your money," added Riggs."So ar« they all it. seems," sighed theyoung millionsurw. '?Ths trouble is, I
didn't like the othars. I do like thiis one,so do let me go my way."
Ho mr'ghib have gone to far that hewould have been engaged' to the girl beforethey sighted Highland Light if a stormihad not come which sent her to her cabinfor the last two days of the voyage. Butthis enforced (separation only whetted Hun-tington'a desire for further acquaintance.Between Quarantine and the pier he hadinvited her and Aunt Louisa, for a sail inhis yacht up theHudson on the followingSatarday.
Ha purrishfed his offieicue friends by leav-ing them »11 out of the party. In theirplaoa ka invitadJ old Colonel Heoker, whohad been in the Oivil War, and whom1 hementally assigned to gossip with AuntLouisa, while he devoted Mmself to Patie-nce.
The day was all that love's young dreamcouild have desired. The Albatross, thro-ugh dint of working overtime for all hands,was made spick and upan by ten o'clock,,and the sail into whit Huntingbon denom-inated to himself as Paradise began.
And surely Patience Meredith had neverenjoyed herself as she did that morning.Her eyes sparkled like diamonds, her laughsounded truly silvery, -and once, when shepressed Huntiwgt'on's hand to call his at-tention to a rowboat that seemed to beapproac-hing too close, an electric thtrillshot from the contact straight to hrs heart.There is no knowing what he miight havesaid tad not the steward appeared atthat moment with the announcemenld ofluncheon.
Orders were; given to turn around whilethey were at table, and coffee wasbeing served on. deck when Colonel Heckersuddenly, exclaimed!: "There is WesfcPoint! Ah me, what memories' of thepasli does ib nob awaken?" ■ ''West Point!" :cited Pat:«nc6. "Oh,Mu. Huntihgton, can't we stop? It wouMbs just too lovely for anything to sea*theafternoon drill."
Now, Mr. Huntingbon could think of
" saveral th'ngs whiioh would be lovelierfrom bis point of view; but to please his ,guest was his one desire, so be gave thecommand to put in.
On tiha wa.y up the hill in the carriage,Pajtienca asked Mm if he had ever strolledalong Flirtation Walk. Before ble couldanswer, she promised to take him there jbut just then the driver turned and toldthem that there was ait afternoon, hopgoing on in Gullom Hall.
Of course, there was nothing for it butto drive to the hall at once, and the partyhad scarcely stepped inside; when a talloadcit' in gray, crossing the corridor, criedout: "Patty!"
"Gordon!" exclaimed Miss Meredith,and for an instant Hunting-ton thought thetwo were going to embrace.
Almost before the naiiflioiiaire realized"what had happened, ito found himselfholding his guesO's jacket? and iuoshade,whil« she was waltzing oft ia the arms ofthe embryo army officer. Tb« Coloneland Aunt'Louisa i&d disappeared, andHuntingfcon began to feel very much outof it, ill spite of his yacht and his money,when another tall cadeb cam& up. Thisone was in blue uniform, with a goldanchor on his collar.
"Excuse me, sir," he said, addressinghimself to Huntingdon, "but is not thatM S3 Patience Me<edrtihwhose coat you ai«holding?"
"It is,". answered Huntington, with alltha dignity he coa'jd muster. While it isquito proper to oarry a lady's wrap and.parasol for. her wbile she is at your sidle;tha possession, of these articles at a distancefrom their rightful owner is apt to be pro-vodativ« of mirth.
"Thank yovi," said the other. "I thoughtI caught a glimpse of her while I wasd'a-ncang. If you don't mind, I will waitby you until she returns. I—l was verymuch surprised to see her here. I thought;she waa in Germany."
"Sh« is just back," answered Hunting-tori, adding, with bis eye on the other'suniionn: "Pardon me, but are you not amember of the Naval Academy ati Annap-olis? It seems rather odd to sea you;
; here."Tha other laughed."Oh," he said, "didn't you know? There
are only a few of us on hand. We havejusij beater) tha West. Pointers at baseball.I pitched for our team."
"No, I didn't know. May I ask if MissMeredith is an old friend of yours?"
The midshipman flushed."We are engaged to be married as soon
as I graduate, "he answered simply. "Hereshle comes now;" and the fellow startedforward to meet her.
She was not witiu the cadet in whosearms, she had floated off, but a few min-utes after she had whirled away with themiddy he came up audl stationed himselfby Huntington's side.
"Who is that Patty is dancing with?"he inquired, wiping the perspiration fromhis brow. "I hadn't an idea she was ac-quainted with any of ifoe Annapolis fal-lows."
"Indeed!" remarked1 Huntington. "Youhave known Miss Meredith a long time,then?"
The Wesb Pointer drew himself upproudly.
"We have been engaged since my fur-lough year."( "I congratulate you, sir;" and as Hun-tington pub out his hand, he deftly trans-ferred to the other the custody of thejacket and sunshade. "Just hold those for;her for a moment, will you?:l lie added. ,"I will bo back; I—l saw a man I wantto catch."
"By Jove!" he nxutteted as he took inseveral mouthful* of good fresh air."What a girl! I think I understand nowwhy so many pretty women! remain un-married. But really, those nice boys oughtto be warned. I wonder if "He turned and hastily retraced has stepsto tho baliroom. Patience had just stop-pod with her m/ddy and was standing bytha West Pointer. Sho looked: flushed anduncomfortable, and turned eageily to theyacht owner.
"Come," she sai.d, "I want to take you toFlirtation Walk;" and she motioned toGordon to hand over her things.
"Certainly," rejoined Huntjingtou, "butI have a duty to perform first.''
Ho stopped up to the young midship-man.
"I hivo been very rucfe," lie said. "Ihave neglected to congratulate you onyour engagement to Miss Pat:enoe. I doso now, most sincerely. We shlall see youagain. Coma, are you ready, Miss Mere-dith?'1
He had never spoken so distinctly inhis lite. The young lady did not lingerover her good^bys, and they hurried off,leaving the two members of the united sar-vi"e glowering at each othler like two bel-ligerent powers.
Onco outside,, Miss Meredith discoveredthat she had a headache, and was eagerto get back to the yacht.
"But bow about Flirbatfion Walk?"Huntington wanted to know.
"Oh," she answered, "here come Auntieand Ooloneil Hecker. They will teli youall about it. I see they have been strollingthere."
The stroll must have been to some pur-pose, for Huntington received cards totheir wedding a inontlh ago, three weeksbefore he Mmself married! Miss Van Vech-terr.
"I wonder," he sometimes asks the curl-ing wreaths of smoke from his cigar—"I wonder, if we hadn't stopped at tlraPoint that day, whether tibia army or thenavy or Iwould have had the possession odiMiss Patience MeredithV
For he happens to know, through tblecolonel, that she is Misa Patience Meredith'st-iil.
