Brown, hoe. secretary, more than £5OO in laying out and fencing, etc., and there 1. • hope, if the clubs are well managed, that the shareholders, who number over a hundred, will receive some small return for their money. The company is being worked by honorary directoru and officials. The club has lad J. T. Brown, the nominal captain , , who haa token up his reeidence at Halifax; but A. , Storer, of Halifax, has been engaged, although he will not be able to play just yet, owing to a fractured collar bone, sustained in the lonl football field.

Tim PROPOSED Pcsmitss or ros Gssworiss.—At the meeting of the Driffuild Local Beard on Monday night, a letter wee read from the Local Government Board with reference to the proposed purchase of the Geswork. of the Board, end pointing out that as the Company did not ponce, , Parliamentary powwe it would be neesseary that , the Local Board should obtain • Prommonal Order . under the Gas and Water Works Facilities Act,  to eueble them to acquire and maintain • gee undertaking. It was, however, now too late to take the necessary step, with a view of an application being made for the issue of a Provisional Order in time for a confirmation during the preeent Session of Parliament. The Local Government Board could not properly give their sanction for the purchase by the Local Board of the Company's undertaking until finch Proviiiiimal Order had been issued and duly confirmed by Parliament, and they must therefore, defer for the present their farther consideration of the matter. He also recommended that the continuation of the undertaking be made prior to the application of the Provisional Order. The clerk, acting under instructiono from the cimirmen, had replied to the Local Government Board, and after pointing out that the gm company was registered under the Companies Act of 1862, asked if it would be necessary to obtain a Provisional Order having regard to mention 162 of the Public Health Act, 1875. Should the reply of the Local Government Board be unfavourable to the Load Authority the oueation of taking over the gasworks will be considerably delayed.
