December 18th, and it being too late to land
fortably, the Royal Party remained on board till
Sunday morning At A. n. they landed and were
received by q committee of resident citizens, who
escorted them 10 Waiohinu. The escort was quite
imposing, numbering about two hundred mounted

On reaching the main street OF the village, a
royal salute fred by the Chinese from the hill
back Of it, and from this point on the road had
been strevn with cane-leaves, while four or FIVE
arches. nicely decorated with everEreens, notices
and fRgs attested the welcome which the people of
Kau offered 20 their Sovereign The most elAbo-
rate Of these was one erected by the Chinese

Raudily ornamented with Chinese notices. flags
and bouqucts- A Chinese Royal Standard, which
had taken two weeks for its construction, was con-
ceded to be the finest display this occasion. 1t
was wrought wholly Of silk, and In q variety Of
Raudy colors-the great dragon being as usual the
conspicuous figure.

BASE .BALL.-Thc Grasshoppers Of Don

set on the public square last Sunday
evening and piled up the following lop-
sided score:

Lmpire-L. E. ipeRtley Of the Burnside
club
Scorer. $. Rcynaud Of the Grasshoppers.
The 'Hoppcrs were weakened by the
absence of two of their best members
anti were not in q condition to sustain
their reputation for skilful playing,
Furthermore, the Oaks objected SO siren
uo,,sly to the underlland throw in send
ing the bail to the bat, that Capt. Keat-
ing was almost compelled to give up
that advantage and deliver slow,
pitched ball that fell an easy prey to the
sturdy little batsmen Of the New River
nine and was raped all over the field in
II manner calculated to 4leHoralize the
best Df folders. OF course the Grass
hc,,reEs do not propose to accept tins
game as a critsE;op Of the relative
strength Of the contestiny clubs, and an
other ioust Between them may be cx-
recte,l at an early day. The White Oaks
excel in catching fly balls, every player
in their nine being reliable i'll this re-
spect; they are also heavy batters and
good runners and are foemen worthy the
mcttlc of any club on TIE coast.
An effort is being made to arrange a
match game between the White Oak and
New Hope clubs, on tho grounds OF the
latter, next Monday evening.
The Grasslloppers play the New Hopes
at Clark plantation Sunday evening,
July 10. The Burnsidcs have invited the
White Oaks to meet them Oh the salEe
date and at the same place. If the Oaks
accept, second diamond field will be
laid off in the spacious Clank pasture
and the two matches will lie played
simultaneously.
The first and second mines of the New
Hope club playcs, u practice game on
their green last Sunday. We did not
learn the result.
We had the pleasure of meeting Mr..
Ant. V. Pintado, secretary of the Ram
functions club, at Napolconville, last
Saturday evening. He informed us that
his club had secured seven players, with
good prospect Of completing the nine
in few days. AS soon as this is accom-
plished it is probable game between
the Rambunctious and Burnside clubs
will be arranged

The editor of the CHIEF in his capa city
as Clerk Of Court, is in receipt Of a letter
written by IL gentleman residing i'll Grey
mouth, New Zealand, making inquiry
concerning property supposed to have
been left by Mr.. Wilson, an attorney
ut law, who is said to have died here
about the year 1916. Tho inquiry is
made on behalf Of the destitute widow
and five little children Of Charles Will
liam Frederick Arnold Wilson, son of
the attorney referred to, who was born
in Donadsonvillc on the 22nd OF Sep
tcmher, 1910, and recently died in New
Zealand Prior to his death he repeated
IL told his wife that his father died
leaving a will bcuueatl'ins all his prop
crty to l,is son subject to certain condi-
| tions in favor of his widow, who agaili
married. AS the younger Wilson did
not correspond with his mother or Other
relatives after his marriage, his widow
| does not know the name or address OF
any member of her late husbands family
hence the application to the Clerk Of
| Court for information. A diligent searcl
Of the records of the Clerks and Recor
dcr's offices fails to disclose any reference
to Il will or property left by the eide
Mr.. Wilson, aud we publish this state
mcnt of the case in order that we ma.
elicit, if possible, from old settlers o
this section who may have known tn
family, some intelligence respecting
them that will be of interest to TIL
widow and children in f,r-otf New Zea
land who have been left in poverty b.
the death Of their natural protector.
