The Syndicate will work the claims on the most satisfactory terms to the original holders.

A REMARKABLE SPEECH.

The Countess of O*rllsie reoantly delivered » moat trotenmt speach en -he old snd new Whig?, wbiob has attracted considerable attention. " Well do 1 know," laid this lady, whose conduct In permitting her daughter to commit, by marrying Professor Watson, a New South Welshman, what would be considered In high and diy aristocratic quarters ai nothing Ibeb than a mesalliance ehowa that her practice, at least h> some degree, harmonises with her preachments—" well do I know that the old Whlga were the grand champions of a grand old cause, but the men o( the present have not the fibre. Their politics ara of a siokly hue, The old politicil life blood ie dried up in theli veins. The glorious old fsith which bnrned foi centuries In Whig hearts is shrivelled up to nothing. They shiver od the blink of every reform. They are living on the credit of their forbears -, they Initiate no new movements of re form. They repeat tbe old shibboleths, but the heart is out of them ; they ob obatruot as In our raoe by hanging on onr aklits. Shall we tolerate this? The watchword of the Whigs Is 'Best and be thankful.' Thankful, yes. Reverence for the great deeds dene and the great measures passed by the might; dead is the first article of political creed we should tcaoh ouv young politicians; but nit—never. Is it • moment '0 test when we have heard only lately from uu doubted evidence that 6000 children In tha olty of London go daily to sohool starving f Shall we rest when the drink traffio soourgea the lsnd ? Shall we rest while labor and capital are so at variance with one another that nothing but a terrible strike can settle the d.ff recces ; when education is still in its lufaooy; when opportunities of rloh and p^or in matters of the higher life ate still go unequal; when our Government co often ipuddlee ob Into foreign wars, «nd «hen International justice is so little under stood ; when our Parliamentary machinery b so faulty that the House of Lords oan ■top all beneficent legislation when It chooses; when the long Parliaments make • Government often so oat of touch with the people that they boast, as they are now doing, that they will keep tenure of effioe >s long as they can rather than appeal to the people; when a rich man oan have many votei »nd the poor man only one; when Irish patriots and Irish members of Parliament are put in prison like oominon felons t How oan yoa rest J The easy chases who love ease and rest may well understand the word, but the new democracy is made up of tollers, and test Is a word not often on their lips." No wonder (says the correspondent of the "Age")that this fervid pronouncement wan reoelved with waving or hats and haadker ehlefs by the rustic and ence, constating, as it did, principally of the tenants of Lady Carlisle's husband. Speaking seti ously, tbe fact that a coontese, bearing, too, the historic name of Howard, should have dared to deliver suoh a speech— and that to her own dependents —ia a, startling end oheering sign o the ticaei?, showlcg as it does that the onward march of eulightment is not confined to oce class, and that even ia the most pamper ad circles a blind eye oao no longer be tnrned to iniquities which onr pious ancestors devoutly, but, perhap*, not Insincerity, believed lv their own Interest to be the ordinance of heaven.

HORSE V WHEEL

MATCH FOR £60.

Last evening the match between Mr Dlgby'a team of iroitlne; horses, and the two orrok bicyclists', Fenlon and Mayos, came <ff on tbe Domain trrok. The evening was beant'fnlly oalm and only a lllght bretza was blowing. Th*t con siderable lnterei t lud been taken In the match was evident from the good atteiid anoa of the pubilo, between 400 and 500 people being on tbe ground, a good many having come very considerable distances. Tbe track bad beau prepared for the match, end was In excellent order. The distance to be run was ten miles, and the traok being a few feet longer than a quarter of a mile, 39 laps were ran to make tbe distance. As tbe borees hsd to take the ou:s'de running on the trick, so m to avoid ail possibility of collision or jostling, and as tbe race was not a haodloap, a Up was allowed them by the wheelmen. Tbe horses bad thus to cover 38 laps to the wheelmen's 29 V Mr David 'Thomas waß judge and time keeper. At 42& minutes past cix the race started. Mr Fenlon took the fist 20 laps of the Jblcyclee' distance. He looked In perfeot condition, and stripped a splendid looking *thlete; He started with Robin Hood for a oompenlon with Tom Price in tb.9 ■addle. During the first four laps, BobJn Hood, evidently neither taking kindly to the cro*d nor tbe short ciroolar coarse, broke pretty frequently, acd Fenlon going In spleadid form hai-won half a lap from htm at the fifth lap, la the sixth lap thia distance had increased to tbree fourths, which was still further added to in tbe Up following. After the eleventh lap, Mr Fenlon p-isaed the horae at about mid track, receiving a hearty round aa h« raD ovet the starting line a lap to tbe good. At the thirteenth lap, Marengo, with tbe owner, Mr Octavlns Dlgby, np, relieved Boblo Hood, twelve laps being considered Kobin Hood's threo rsJ'cs, Marecgo, a better trover, was apportion d 16 laps. and bis rlder^kept him ateadlJy ti he work, not a single break being racoided at>alnbt him. The horae reduced Mr Fenlon's lead very cCJidderably, and at the seventeenth lap the ffheel wai only half a lap to tbe good. After doing twenty laps in tbe exoallent time of J7mlns 30aeos, Mr Fenlon gave plasa to Mr Mayer, who rede In white fhnncls, fn dlstlnctloD to Mr Fenlon'e blaok coßtume. It was evident tha v Me Msyes was not In anything like tbe athletic condition ol Ills partner, nor so fact a wheelman, and Marengo speedily had him beaten, so that after be had beenl3min 30seca on the track, and showing signs of distress, Mr Fenlon bit in and relieved Mr Meyes. For two Ispa ov so Mr Fenlon travelled at a trest pace, and had oaoght up a good deal of foit ground. Marecgo, having done his ■Ixteen laps in the good time of Umlne, was withdrawn, and the celebrated Prlnoees came od the track, travelling at a wonderful speed. Mr Mayes, having come again, relieved Mr Fenlon &<& showed far better speed thaa be did iv bis earlier running JbVlnceas h»d only ten laps to do to make np the thirty eight, and dating her spin she broke ■ereral times, but came at t\ c oloße with Bmicfi 51eeoa against her for a record. The horses won the tmtoh by six seoonda on the ten miles.

One o! the Inveroargill cxonrsioniats t Dunedin last week attended Mr Ghristi Murray.s leoture in the Oity Hall there, and was muoh amused at a misconception of the " proceedings "by one of the audience.

While the heavens he was soanning, he was met by one Manning, and taken away. As this wasn't bis first indulgence in thirst, he was fined 10s, which he didn't pay. So without any dodging, he was found board and lodging for forty-eight hours in the look-up go gay. In describing a sale of horses whioh took place at Stony River recently, the •' Taranaki Herald " says:—Language fails to convey an adequate description of the animals submitted for sale, as to say that they were weedy would hardly do them justioe. Suoh a parcel ot crooks, sorubbers, and Maori thoroughbreds never before graced an auction yard in this universe. The thiok drizzle which set in just as Mr King mounted the top rail gave zest to the proceedings, and after spirited competi tion "thefirst pick "was knooked down to an enterprising New Plymouth horse dealer at 47s 6d. The whole mob of nearly eighty horses realised about £35, the greatest bargain being a batoh of four fiery steeds whioh were acquired for the small consideration of 2s 6d, being an average of 7£d per animal, or rather less than 2d per leg. .
