SPORTING.

The very enjoyable sports meeting hpld last year in connection with the Tinwald harriers—thanks to the liheralify ff the genial master, Mr <J. A. M. Buckley—is to be repeated at ihe kennels this season some time in August, and, as on the former occsbion, will consisb of steeple chases, hurdle and flit r9ces. A steeple chase at the kennels hhs the great ad r»ntag<\ from a picturesque vlvr, of being ridden over natural country, thus waking a much more attractive sight than the purely orthordox steeplechase events which are in this country usually decided over a made course about a chain wide in a large bare enclosure. In connection with these sports the master had decided to hold qualifying trials for the necessary mastei-'d certificate over two miks ot fair hunting country. Ihe first of these took place at Tinwald on Thursday, and a large number of spectators enjoyed wh*t was in itself really capital sport. Mr Buck'ey had selected a very cipital course, from the centre of which all the jump ing cou'd be seen, and the horses were despa'cbed on their journey fa trios by the master, the limit for the two miles being fifteen minutes The first lot to start were Mr M. Hobbs' Joker (P. Cocftrane), Mr Buckley's Lorg feljor (C, Ge'sler), and Victor (\Ioor). All three jumped in grand style, and covered the coarse in 6min §^cc. Mr Grigg's Gillie (Mr B Wynn-William-), and Gamester (Mr J. C N. Grigg), also jumped well—time, fjmin 44secs; but Vagabond baulked repeatedly, and did not come up to tim«, although, later, E. Price got him orer the course In cornpam with Mr J. Bulls 1 Rainbow (Mr T. Drennan), within the time limit. Mr P Jones' The Bug (Owner), Mr Uriah's Patch (E- Price)—time 7min 39secs—were also qualified. One or two more oppor tunities for qualifying will be afforded, and the date of the sports meeting will ■hortly be fixed.

I n>.don, June 12 Mr Stewart, f!ie Pfticial Receiver, has declared a dividend of 15s in the | Bank of Adelaide estate. Sir T. Sutherland, president at. a meeting of the P. and O. Company, . said the receipts from freight and passage money had slightly increased during the half-year. The Australian passenger returns, however, had shown no improvement. He did not expect any marked revival in the Eastern trade, as the Chinese were slow in war and would prove slow in commerce

The Japanese were decidedly more active, and would soon be a competitor against Great Britain in the Indian cotton trade. As compared with 1894, I there was an additional loss by ex change of £20,000, absorbing the en tire increase in the earnings in

passenger rates and freights.

He declares that the prevalence of juvenile crime emphasises the neces sity for religious teaching. The Press generally recognise that the action of the Government in advancing a resolution for the reform of tho House of Lords points to an early dissolution of Parliament.

The Customs Bill passed through committee without important amend ment,

In the Legislative Assembly Mr Schey moved the adjournment, of the House in order to condemn the action of Government in allowing the Crown Solicitor to defend Major-General Hutton, Commandant of the forces, in the libel brought against him by Captain Close. Government, he said, were not justified in allqwing the drown solicitor to defend a person in a civil action. The Premier said the writ was accepted on the distinct understanding that it referred to the ofijcial . actiqn of Rfajor-Qfineral HijttQn, otherwise in no case would the solicitor be allowed to defend him- The Customs Duties Bill was read a second time by G4 to 33, and good pro gress is being made in Committee. On tha motion of the Premier a new clause was added, giying Gqyerntnent power to, remit duties on articles used iv manufacturing processes, provided that manufactured articles are not subject to duty. In the Legislative Council, the Attorney-General made a hot attack on the action of some members in respect to the Land and Income Tax Rill, which he characterised as dis courteous, and savored of assassination. A warm debate resulted, and it was agreed that the second reading of the Bill be taken oa Wednesday.
