HBH 1892 Oct 18 Districts content Wellington The New Zealand Times says that the telegraph boy bearing JENKINSON'S nomination to the Legislative Council found him working inside a boiler and thrust the message in through a small hole. JENKINSON thought it was a hoax, and was only persuaded with difficulty to write the answer which he did without saying a word. Mr David LEWIS, who was for many years connected with the New Zealand Company, died today at the age of 90. He arrived in 1840, and was Land Commissioner for the company until about 12 years ago, when its affairs were finally settled. The Hinemoa leaves for Onehunga tomorrow, calling at New Plymouth, where his Excellency the Governor, the Countess of Glasgow, Lady Augusta BOYLE, Captain Hunter BLAIR, A.D.C., and the Hon W.P. REEVES, who left for Wanganui this morning, will embark. The other members of Lord Glasgow's family and his staff will also be present. A private letter from one of the men attending the New South Wales Rifle Association's meeting states that the AUCKLAND and WELLINGTON men, DOUGHTY, M'CARTHY, WEBSTER, BROWN, WEIR, RAIT, A.BALLINGER, FRUSE, KUCHEN of Wanganui, are likely to form the New Zealand team for the inter colonial match, and Major STRANG, an old shot in Sydney, has offered his services as captain.
