[from our ooß3uasFo9Dnrr.3 GREYMOUTH, June 15. A meeting of the Education Board was held, on Tuesday evening, but the moat important business, that of rearranging the teaching staff and scale.of salaries, was postponed till the next meeting, which takes place on the 9th of July. A number of our bachelors, In return for the hospitality they have received, have arranged to give a aeries of three bread and butter dances, to conclude with a balk The first of these was held in the Volunteer Hall last evening and proved •very successful and enjoyable, , The State school was re-opened on Monday -last. The<. repairs which have been effected are a decided improvement, and add very much to the comfort and appearance of the building. Mr Stewart, the head master, being anxious to prbvide the children with means of recreation, proposes to undertake the formation of football and cricket clubs for the boys, as well as a tennis ground for the girls. This is a move in the right direction, and I hope Mr Stewart will succeed in his praiseworthy efforts. The collector of customs has been served with a notice by one McPhee, occupant of a cottage opposite' Malachi Taylor's brewery, fac ing the Reefton road, for that he did un lawfully enter each premises and search for illicit whiskey on the 3rd ultimo, when tbe seizure was made at Taylor's brewery by Inspector Emerson. Mr Woon has placed the matter in the hands of Mr W. H. Jones, Crown Prosecutor, to deal with. I understand that the Union S. S. Com pany have offered to subsidise tbe tug service to the extent of £60 per month. In the event of the offer being accepted there is a probability of the larger boats visiting this part mora frequently than has been the case for some time past. It was fully intended to lay up the tug at the end of l*st month, hence the offer, and the ppßt ponetnent of tbe resolution arrived at. The decision of the Government with regard thereto will probably be made known at the next meeting of the Harbour Board. Mr Martin Kennedy returned to Grey mouth a few daya ago, after a lengthened absence, and various rumours are in circulation las to the future control of our coal and shipping business.
