The Evening Star. TUESDAY, MAY 9, 1871.

It is very gratifying to observe that the impulse given to athletic exercises by the late games in the Albert Bar racks has not died out. In fact it ap pears as if they had but developed the latent feeling that exists in favor of manly exercises. The games an nounced to take place in the Barrack reserve to-morrow have that in them which we think will invest them with greater popularity than those pre ceding. It must be admitted that the recent games, being mainly a private and professional speculation, were not calculated in this respect to excite very much popular enthusiasm, and though the presence and perform ances of professional pedestrians con stituted an attraction, there can be no doubt that it was the large number of well-known citizens entered for the contests that lent to the event its great popularity. In the al fresco en tertainment to-morrow, the object to which the proceeds will be de voted is an additional source of attraction; and the public attending will have the satisfaction of knowing that they are aiding in the advancement of a club devoted to ath letic exercises of a kindred character. The Auckland ftowing Club is really one of our most deserving institutions. In presenting to our young men one of the most invigorating kinds of exer cise, it offers a counter-attraction to many pastimes that have less or more of a debasing tendency, and as such promotes moral as well as physical excellence, and it is hoped and believed that the althletic games to morrow will return a very substantial public donation to the treasury of the club, which, we understand, is much in need of assistance. In devoting also one-tenth of all proceeds to charitable purposes, the members of the club will act in a benevolent and becoming way, " giving tithes of all ;" and, it must be admitted, with a judicious amount of worldly wisdom, pardonable in the circumstances. We sincerely hope that the public will appreciate the effort for the promotion and establish ment of athletic exercises, by making as far as possible a public holiday. It is gratifying to observe that a large number of the principal business places in the city have already done them selves honor, in signifying their inten tion of closing their places of business in the afternoon. The entries have been extraordinarily numerous ; over a hundred of our citizens having thrown down the gauntlet; and what is more satisfactory still, a large pro portion of the entries bear the names of those who, from their social posi tion, and from being very generally known, will give character to the games. The promoters of this most beneficial and delightful species of entertainment are one indeed to b warmly commended; and we trust that we shall have the pleasure of congratulating them on the most suc cessful entertainment ever carried out in the city.

"We lately commented on the move ment among the drapers' assistants, for shortening the hours of labour. We are greatly gratified to learn that general sympathy has been given to the efforts of the young men and young ladies who desire a little time for rest and recreation and improvement. We now plead for our butchers and our

bakers. "We learn that an agitation is commencing in favour of relieving the employes in these two branches of business from unseasonable weary hours, which are really unnecessary. There are peculiarities in the duties of both bakers and butchers that are re garded by many as necessitating un timely hours; but to this opinion it should be a sufficient reply that these difficulties have been overcome else where, in every case in which the movement was gone into in good faith by employers and employed. It seems to us that there should be nothing in Auckland to specially pro hibit the application of a system that has been found to work so well elsewhere. It may seem a little thing to some, what is convenient or inconvenient, beneficial or otherwise, •to those employed by them, if only the work is done. But there is not a business in the world in which the employer is not largely in the hands of his servants ; and, although the work may in every case be performed according to stipulation, the enlisting of the sympathies as well as the hands and heads of the employed in the performance of duty, may make a most important difference in ultimate results. The man who will show a willingness, and even a desire, to relieve his employes of need less burthens, cannot fail to enlist such sympathies, and to benefit from the increased interest created. The busi nesses of baking and butchering are not exempt from a principle that is found invariably in the relations of employer and employed, and which is wholly in accordance with human nature. Looking at the matter then in the light of self-interest alone, we do trust that the employers will in this case show a cordial sympathy with the movement of the men. We un derstand that the employes have un dertaken to show the way in which this boon can be conceded without impairing in the slightest degree the performance of work ; and we do not believe that among all the butchers and bakers of Auckland there is one who is such a churl as to wantonly oppose a movement which can do no harm to himself, and may be the means of doing inestimable good to others.

We are gratified to learn that the ab sence of His Honor the Chief Justice from the Nevada Reception Banquet has been explained in a manner ex onerating everyone from blame. "At the same time we do not regret that we brought so prominently before the public a matter that was in everyone's mouth, and about which the most ab surd and exaggerated statements were freely made. It speaks strongly for the manner in which His Honor is esteemed by the whole peoplethatthere was really afeelingofindignationarising against the Keception Committee; and our article in bringing the matter above-board has done good service. It now appears that it was not a slight either intentional or otherwise on the part of the committee that influenced His Honor. He had been detained till a late hour, and on coming to the hall, had found the guests all seated and operations begun. His Honor, not being aware that a seat had been reserved for him by the committee, and with true delicacy of feeling, fear ing to cause disturbance among the guests, after a little delay, retired. The doorkeeper had indeed, from not knowing him, spoken to His Honor, but this, we understand entered in no way into the reasons for Sir George's retiring from the hall. Letters have passed between the Chief Justice and the committee, in which, though the committee express regret attheoccur ance, His Honor completely removes every ground for blame.

We learu that the conduct of the notorious Plummer and others of the prisoners in the Stockade has been so bad of late that it has been found necessary to increase the force of guards, *.and an order has consequently gone up from the Superintendent for the employ ment of three additional warders. Of course after the manner in which these prisoners have conducted themselves, smashing windows and making frequent attempts at escape, no hope can be held out to them of any curtail ment of sentence. The Onehunga Ladies' Benevolent Society beg to acknowledge the receipt of five pounds, the proceeds of an entertainment given by the Orpheus Ethiopian Troupe. We understand that this troupe will give another perform ance at Onehunga, on Friday evening, in aid of the funds for the repair of the school house. A reward of £20 is offered by Messrs. Morrin, Clarke, and Beveridge, for the appre hension of the party or parties who mali ciously laid down poison on Saturday last, in the Eemuera district, by which some valuable dogs were destroyed. The members of No. 5 Company A. E. V. will assemble at the shed, Princes-street, at balf-paat aeren o'clock this evening, for drill.

RETURN OF THE HERO FROM THE WRECK of the TWILIGHT.

A MAN DBOWKED.

The cutter Hero, which was chartered to bring round the gum saved from the wreck of the schooner Twilight, returned to port this morning, and we regret to learn that one of her party was drowned by the upsetting of the boat. Captain TJrquhart has supplied us with the following particulars of the passage : —The Hero" left , Auckland on Thursday, the 27th ultimo, and carried a fresh easterly breeze round, arriving in the bay at Cape Maria Van Dieman on Saturday at two p.m., after a capital run of forty-eight hours. The weather being fine, Captain Meiklejohn, who was a papsenger in the Hero, went ashore, and the surf-boat at once com menced to convey the gum off to the schooner. During the afternoon about twenty cases were shipped, and when the boat was going ashore at eleven p.m. a melancholy accident occurred. When within 10 yards of the shore a heavy brake rolled in and swamped the boat. Three of the men were thrown upon a rock, and the other, Joseph Connor, who it is believed could not swim, was carried out by the strong current which sweeps round the bay. He was seen for some minutes clinging to a rock, and several attempts were made by the survivors to save him. The poor fdlow leaves a wife and family in West Queen-street unprovided for. The other three men, named George Turtle, James Cameron, and Frederick Evans, succeeded in reaching the shore, and at once went in search of their lost comrade. They travelled along the bay for several miles, and upon their return found their boat at about one and a half resiles from the -spot where she was cap sized, the oars being washed out to sea. On Sunday, a heavy sea came in from the S.W., and the cutter put out to sea, returning again on Monday afternoon. The surf-boat then came off again, the men having made a pair of oars during their stay ashore. On Tuesday and Wednesday there was a strong breeze from N.N.E., but the men were enabled to bring off gum, having on board at this time about thirty tons. On Wednesday evening the cutter went off to anchor, and rode out a strong N.N.E gale. On Thursday she lost her anchor, and had at once to put to ssa. Captain TJrquhart determined to come on to Auckland with what he had. During the re turn passage experienced fine weather and Hiiht winds. The Hero may possibly return to the wreck after discharging what she has on board.

DISTRICT COURT.—Tuesday.

[Before Thomas Beckham, Esq., District Judge.] An adjourned sitting of the Court was held this morning, for the purpose of hearing the business left over from the previous hearing. Onbhtjnga Gold Mining Company t. Natiian.—Mr. Uses for the Official Agent; Mr. Hesketli for the defendant.—The Official Agent sued in this case for a call made upon the defendant to complete the capital of the company, which is in process of winding up. The defendant refused to pay this call,on the following grounds:—He said he was one of the original shareholders in the Onebunga claim, and that he exchanged his interest in the claim for twenty-two and a-half shares in the company. The company's shares were supposed to represent £8 paid up, the shares being £10 shares. He had paid £2 per share in calls, which made up the £10, and he contended that he had paid all that he could by law be called upon to contribute.—Mr. Bees said the agreement, whatever it might havo been, was at variance with the public declaration of the company. The effect of a judgment in the defendant's favour would be that the revenue would be cheated to an extraordinary extent. — His Honor said it was quite true that the public declara tion of the company was at variance with the arrangement of which the defendant claimed the benefit, but he did not see, if the statement of the defendant were in all re spects correct, how he could make him pay more than he had contracted to pay. He would take further thie to consider the legal bearings of the case.— M.v. Hees said the ques tion Involved was an extremely important one, and which must affect all other cases in which exchanges of this kind had been made. He would, if His Honor pleased, bo pre/ared with the assistance of his learned fritnd Mr. Hesketh to draw up a case to be submitted to the de cision of His Honor Sir (Jeorje Arney, Chief Justice. This could be done it a trifling ex pense where all parties were agreed to abide by such a course.—His Honor stid he would only be too glad to have the option of the Chief Justice upon' the point. H> would be anxious to facilitate the obtaining such an opinion :•. .ther than put obstacles in Hie way, Nash v. Bitgden.—This waa an acCon for illegal seizure upon a bill of sale, and after " hearing, the plaintiff agreed to accept Non suit. He now appealed. A legal'question was raised as to whether a plaintiff who agreed to accept a nonsuit could appeal. Mr. Hesk^h contended that he could, for a nonsuit wasV judgment of the Court, with which a plaintiff, though he should prefer to accept that, than he put out of reach of his remedy altogether, might be dissatisfied, and against which he could ap peal.—His Honor said this was a peculiarly legal point, and one which the Court could not do otherwise than allow. It would, how ever, be desirable if the Court above should be asked at the same time to decide whether a secret understanding between parties to up set a deed could be given in evidenoe, for the whole question turned upon that.—Applica tion granted. •„:,.>

A meeting of the members of the Auckland Troop R. C. Y. will be held at the Drill-shed this evening. .

Fined 5s and costs.—Edward Nicholson was similarly charged.—Mr. Whitaker ex plained that he brought the charges only to show the young men that they had no right to trespass on private lands without permission of the proprietor. Fined, in the same amount. Impounding Act.—Thomas Hamilton was fined 2s 6d, for allowing a cow to stray in Wellesley-street.—Harry Dormer was charged with having tethered a goat in Wellesley street.

Manning, and J Hooper were each fined Is for allowing dogs abroad without tickets.—A similar case against Joseph Craig was dismissed; ownership not being proved. Municipal Police Act.—C.
