A Resident's Opinion.

United Prew Association—By Eleotrio Telsgraph—Copyright.

Capetown, June 29 The Mayor presided over a meeting of 6000 citizens. The meeting, which was of a most enthusiastic character, initiated a monster Cape-Natal- Rhode&ian petition to the Queen asking for equal equal rights for old and new settlers in the Transvaal, The petition expresses the hope that efforts will not be relaxed. ■,Mr Graham, Attorney-General, declared that now was the time for action. Unless President Kruger receded from the position be had taken np war would be inevitable. He cor «id«red Sir Alfred Miiner had rather erred on the side of moderation. If Great Britain receded from her present attitude her paramouutcy w«s doomed. Sir J. Gordon Sprigg (ex-Premier) •aid he foresaw a danger of the colony seceding unless Sir A. Miiner was •olidly supported. Various speakers thanked the Aus tralian colonies for the sympathy ex pressed. Pretoria, June 29 It is believed here • t hat the mission of Herr Fischer, of the Orange Free State, to President Kruger, has proved successful (Rewired Wakapuaka Jane 30, 9 40 a.m, Guardian Offioe, 10.4 am) London, June 29 The eighth company of the Koyal Engineers, stationed at Chatham, has been ordered to the Cape. Large. quantities of railway material are' being sent out with the troops. , Melbourne, June 30 Woodford Leonard, a welUknown j Johannesburg barrister, and brother of the leader of the Transvaal National; Union, is visiting Melbourne. In an interview he said that if England j declared war every Boer would fight j to the death. It would be a civil war I throughout South Africa directly the ! first shot was fired. The O*pe was' full of secret agents of the Transvaal, and he did not think the Boers would attack Johannesburg or the mines! except as a last resourcs. All the blacks would assist England against the Boers.

THE RAKAIA RAILWAY ACCIDENT.

The Royal €0111 mission.

United Press Association—By Eleotrio Telegrnph I Ohkistchdkoh, Jane 30 | The Royal Commission resumed its | enquiry this morning touching the oircutn -1 stances attending the Rakaia railway accident. The morning was occupied in ! taking the evidence of the atatiounusters along the line, the signalmen, and the guard and driver of the first train. The evidenca generally was similar to that given at the inquest and the Supreme Court trial, which has been fully telegraphed, though the Com missioners are poicg more fully inio details of a teohflioal character,

COURSING.

The third meeting this season of the , Ashburton Coursing Club took place yester day at Longbeach, Mr Grigg having again , kindly permitted the Club to course over his splendid paddocks; Am usual, tho i weather was an favorable, a oold rain falling all day. In consequence, the bares were hard to find, as they seek shelter in all sorts of unexpected places. Mr Milner aoted as judge, and as usual no one cavilled at his verdicts. The slipper appointed being absent, Mr William Shearman very kindly 1 volunteered to aeb, and acquitted himself well, notwithstanding the difficulties occasioned by the scarcity of game and the bad weather, Only one stake, the " Open " one, was got through. One round of the Maiden Stake was attempted, but two courses had atill to be run when darkness came on* The concluding courses will be run on Thursday next, Following are details of tha ruuniag:— Open Stakes. First dog, £6 10 i ; runner* up, £2 2s. EIB9T ROUND, Mr A Lee's bd b Elastic beat Mr C. Weedon's bd b Farthenia Mr C Weedon's bd d Tamerlane beat Mr , T Voice's bd d Young Smoker Mr A Lee's bd b lUaatio, by Mfirchant— Green Girteir bea*; Mr 0 Weedon's bd d j TamerlaDe, hy R zzle Dazzle—Fairy. Ihe running.—Elastic led Parthenia two lengths to a fast hare, theuce out the ex- j changes were even in a good course, Elastic j just winning by her opening points Tamer- ! lane was altogether too fast and clever for ifoung Smoker, who however is a promising puppy. For the final there was a long tramp in the rain before a hare was found, when the slips breaking the dogs got away with out being properly sighted. They however caught puss, and Tamerlane got a couple or three turns. The jsidge, however, decided if: was a no course. On the nexb attempt Elastic led and scored twice, whsu Tamer lane turned, killed and lost. Maiden Stakes. First dog, £7 10s; runner-up, £2 10a. Mr J Forward's f b Frisky Girl beat Mr B Preston's bd d Bingo Mr G Brown's f b Pitch and Toss beat Mr E Bar rough's f d Volkstraad Mr A Lee's f b Mizpah beat Mr C Weedon's bd d Ixion The running.—Frisky Girl got well away before Bingo left the slips, bub the latter Boon took a hand, the pair giving puss no chance, she was killed ; verdict for Frisky. Pitch and Toss and Volkstraad did most of their work through water, which was splashing about over pursued and pursuers, so that the result could hardly determine the merits of the dogs. Puss was killed, and Pitch and Toss secured the honors. Mizpah | led Ixion, but the course that followed was the best of the day, both doga scoring { rapidly. Ixion came back on three legs. ; Bird-on-the-Wing and Blue Light were in the Blips when darkness pub an end to the sporb.

News in Brief
