St. George's Day.

London, April 23. At the Lord Mayor's banquet to day, in honor of St George's Day, up wards of three hundred were present, including Cardinal Vaughan, Lord Jersey, Bishop Selwyn, Bishop Camidge (Bathurst), Bishop "Webber (Brisbane), Bishop Barry (formerly of Sydney), MrS. Buxton (Parliamentary Secretary to the Colonial Office), Sir Julius Vogel, the Ageats-General for the various colonies, and a number of leading colonists. Sir George Grey, Sir Henry Loch, and the Marquis of Ripon, sent messages, regretting that they were unable to attend. The Lord Mayor, in proposing the toast of " The Empire," hoped that the banquet in honor of St George, England's Patron Saint, would be perpetual, with a view to promoting the unity, loyalty, and patriotism of the empire. Lord Knutsford lauded the happy idea of the Lord Mayor in celebrating the anni versary of the saint's birthday. The Conservatives, he declared, were not afraid of necessary extension of the colonies, and were always ready to ac cept responsibility. He eulogised the work of the Agents-General, and hoped the colonies would never send gentle men of a lower standard, otherwise the closer union desired by every states man might be delayed.

(Received April 25. 11,30 a.m ) JM.S.W. PARLIAMENT. Stf»NJSY. April 22. In the Legislative Assembly last night, on the motion of Mr Cotton, it was agreed that Mr McMillan be called upon to explain the charges of corrup tion and vote-selling made by him in a recent speech. In the course of an in terview he said there was nothing to withdraw. The statements were legi timate and fair, and founded on reli able information. M r Black moved the adoption of a scheme to prevent the legislative Coun cil vetoing the same measure twice in succession. He urged that the powers of the Upper House must be amended or the Chamber abolished entirely. Mr Fitzgerald moved as an amend ment that the Legislative Council hindered the progress of legislation, and ought to be abolished. Sir Henry Parkes, in a strong speech, said the abolition of the second Chamber foreshadowed the destruction of freedom, and meant a most awful calamity for the country. Under one Chamber tyranny would flourish, and no man's life would be safe. The debate was adjourned till April 15.

SPORTING.

ASHBURTON RACING CLUB.

AUTUMN MEETING.

President—Mr E. G. Wright. Vice president—Mr C. W. Purnell, Jvdge —Mr Matthew Stitt. Stewards— Messrs G. A, McLean Buckley, B. i Gates, J. 0. N Grigg, S. H, Graves, 0. W. Purnell, W. Lytteltcn, and C. F. Todhunter. Treasurer-Mr H. Friedlander. Olebk of the Scales— Mr R. /riedlander. Clerk of the OouHSE~Mr R. Curtis. Handicapper —Mr J. Cresswell. Starter—Mr J. Cresswell. Secretary—MrE. Saanders A few days of nor'-wesc weather, cul minating in a heavy gale from the same direction yesterday, caused many persons to expect the customary reaction in the shape of a cold sou-wester for to-d*y, but Boreas, or whoever is responsible for the conduct of the northerly force, caused such a furious onslaught that his southerly enemy for the time being was driven clean out of the field, and the weather broke beautifully one, with a cool south breeze this morning. With excellent weather then, and the course in capital order, everything promised well for a successful meeting. The large number of 177 nominations were received, and owners endorsed the judgment of the handicapper so far as to produce satisfactory accept ances, with the exception of the Steeple* chase, for which only three horses ap peared on the card. Fast experience should have shown that a steeplechase in the autumn ia not likely to be a success, for the reasons that the stakes are small, that there are few real steeplechasers in the county, and that the hunters are not yet in the trim they would be after a winter's training in the field. The Club would do better to confine these jumping races to hurdles, at anyrate in the autumn. Solid refreshment wa» provided under the grand stand and outside by Mra Banger, in her usual liberal scale. As for liquor, the average Britisher has not yet so far degenerated that he will submit to re pression or coercion in any matter, least of all, in respect of his creature comforts, which he regards as the foundation of the national stamina, and without a due allowance of which he would suffer in mental and bodily vigour. The result ot the action of our prohibition Committee ! in refusing the licenses to the Racing j Club was that, being forewarned, every one was forearmed, and nob having a predilection for lukewarm water, shaken up in a cask, or being provided after the fashion of a Bactrian camel with a cistern in their internal economy, supplied them selves with pocket pistols, and in many instances an abundant supply of ammuni tion, wherewith to replenish them. A good deal of hilarity of a sarcastic turn was enjoyed at the expense of the Licens ing Committee. The attendance was good, especially of ladies, numbers being on the stand and in drags and other vehicles. Following are the results up to the time of our going to press : — Netherby High Weight Handicap, of 35 aovs. Once round the course. 16 Mr V.

From a good start Preoborn led, with Perkin Becond, Invader third, and Awarua Kose last, but all close together. Round the top turn Awarua Rose went into third place, and these positions were maintained to the turn for home, where the first three closed up level, and Perkin drew slightly ahead, and won hard held by three lengths, Awarua Kose second, *• reeborn a bad third and Invader last. Time—2mm 29aec. Dividend ~£4 16s. The Asuburton Stakes, of 2 soys each, with 100 soys added; second horse to receive 10 soys from the stake.

In a moderate start Emngton was last away, Artilleur soon assumed the lead, and a close race all round resulted in his winning by a length and a half from Neroli, with Erringlon a fair third, Strath Braan labt.

(Ireland) 3 Magpie led up to the double at the stand, and baulked, when Glen came on, with Game>ter following. Going round the top turn Magpie passed Glen and Gamester, and assumed a long lead, with Gamester tailing oft chains behind. The last time round at the turn for home, Glen made a determined attempt to catch Magpie, but had not the pace, and Magpie finished about five lengths in front of Glen with Gamester s, quarter of » mile away. Gamester declared 41b over and Glen lib. Tftith the exception of Mag pie's baulk, the jumping was generally good. Dividend —£113s.
