SECOND DAY.

ITor the second day's races the attendance was not quite so large as on the preceding day. The weather was of a threatening nature; dull and overcasb, quit'u on it, con trast with that experienced on the first day. Speculation was brisk, notwithstanding the small fields. The bookmakers handled a fair amount between them. The racing, although good, was not so interest ing as on the first day, the withdrawals and aon-acceptors narrowing the fields down the average of about half a do. tii :a each.

TO-DAY'S TELEGRAMS.

United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph Auckland, Oct. 22.

The National Bank at Onehunga was burglaiiously entered last night. The back door was forced with a crow bar, but the burglars got no plunder. Mr Walker, a clerk, who was sleeping on the premises, when entering the front door at nine o'clock, was struck on the head with a hard substance and bled profusely. He went outside for the police, and meantime the burglars decamped. Thames, Oct. 24

One hundred pounds has been subscribed to the Troopers' Memorial Fund. Permis sion has been granted by the Public Works Department to erect the memorial in front of the Public Works buildings. Mr Mc- Gowan has intimated that he and Sir Joseph Ward object to the site chosen, and has stated that the memorial must be erected on sorue other site on the same block. The Committee held that the necessary permission has been ob tained, and expresses a determination to proceed with the work. A Conference wil) take place between th- Minister and the Committee on the dead" jk. Feu >ing, October 24. A child, aged twenty months, son of Mr Robertson, of Kimbolton, was run over by a waggon, and died two hours afterwards. Wellington, October 24

The Stipendiary Magistrate to-day gave judgment in the case Heyvrood v McFar land, a case brought by one hoWkeeper against another, questioning the right to have a bar in an extension of the licensed premises. The Magistrate said the ques tion was whether a licensee covered all extensions of licensed premises, whether extensions by rebuilding, or, as in this case, extensions by connecting with the existing building. He dismissed the information, holding that the extension was part of the licensed premises.

The first steamer of the new direct ser vice to South Africa will be laid on before the end of November. It is stated that the j contractors tendered for the service in two ways—either at .£30,000 a year for three yearß, or for three years with the right to withdraw at the end of the first year, with out any subsidy if the trade did not warrant the continuance of the service. Nelson, Oct. 24 Important actions were begun in the Magistrate's Court this morning by the Puponga Coal Company against Joseph Taylor, formerly proprietor and recently manager of the Puponga coal mine. The charges include alleged misappropriations and similar offences, aDd are laid under the Criminal Code Act, The cases arise out of the flotation, sale and transfer to the Company of defendant's interests in the mine. The case is likely to last several days.

Mr Hogben, Inspector General of Schools, arrived to-day, and proceeds to Motueka to ascertain if he can arrange to prevent the employment of children in hop picking and the fruit industry generally, which are interfering unduly with the school atten dance in the fruit season.

A young man named William Winter, son of Mr George Winter, of Motupipi, was found dead in a small creek some distance from his home early this morning. He had suffered severely .from influenza. He was missed yesterday afternoon, and a search party wa<3 out all night. Invercarqill, Oct. 24

At the Magistrate's Court to-day, an ap plication was made for an order directing the Registrar of electors to expunge certain names from the Invercargill roll of persons now dead or removed from the district. The Registrar contended that unless he was satisfied the persons had permanently re moved, he was not justified in expunging the names. The Magistrate said it was in the power of the Court, after hearing the evidence, to remove the names if satisfied of the intention of the elector to reside iv another district, and for that purpose a sitting of the Court would be hnld to-mor row to hear an application for the removal of the names.

Toler, Agent-Genrn-al of Queensland, interviewed by the "St. James Gazette," denied that there was a serious revolt in Queensland against the Commonwealth. The secession resolution ought to bo dis counted. The discontent in the State was the result of the Federal Government's unreasonable and unjustifiable interference in the States' freedom to work out its o'^n destiny. A Federal High Court, able to determine the relative positions of the Commonwealth States, ought to be ap pointed. Several recent Federal laws were ! supposed to be ultra vires, i
