youth aquires habits of rumination and secretiveness -which are worth studying. He flourishes to perfection as a nuisance iv large establishments, but in limited vessels his deyelopement is slower, his peculiarities being unduly depressed by the rope's end of the mate ot the master. Of the many kinds of yachts as well as yachtsmen treatises might be written, and on the former subject a considerable amount 'fof literature has already accu mulate .r The building of yachts has been reJ uced to a fine art, and elevated to the rank of a learned science. (t As yet the science is perhaps in an empirical stage iind therefore; strictly speaking, should not be called a science tit all; We have only to record a liking for tlie Jflcht pure* and simple, of any tonnage, but with & preference for a medium register. The show-boats, floating palaces, are only fit for ostentatious millionaires and travelling princes. As for the steam-yachts, they may be Spoken of tts Admiral Bous spoke of the steam navy, and with much more truth and point. It is not easy for a man tolcaru to be a sailor he has to look after the " kettle" and the " boiler. How ever, we believe their number is waning; The real fun and enjoyment of yachting is most frequently to be had upon a well found, substantial, and handy cutter. Yachting is not altogether an idle pas ime. It gives useful employment to some housnnds of excellent seamen in England and Ireland; and its ship building, of a valuable experimentaldescription, has been found worth attention of the first archi tects and constructors of ships. We say nothing on the inevitable theme usually dragged into the subject concerning the mode in which we islanders take to the water. We cannot help it if we would. We owe something more than a negative compliment to the streak of sea. It is of advantage that many of our well-to-do youths should don the blue jacket, brass buttons, and play with steady seriousness at sailoriug. The passion for yachting is strangely inhererent even in the Londoner who can never hope to call a boat his own bigger than the ships of that JNautilus service that may be seen on Sundays ad venturing over the Serpentine, and so there is a general interest taken in the triumphs of our crack yachts, iv their home and in their international achieve ments, and we trust that in the season on which they are about to enter their re gattas muy be as exciting and in every respect as interesting as any ia the chroni cles of the svort.—Daili/ News,Blh May.

The position commends itself as fast becoming the most business part of the city, and the stern fact presents itself that this is the last opportu nity that can possibly offer for the present generation, to procure, at anything like a moderate sum, a business site In the best part of this city. The Auctioneers would also draw attention to the fact, that when the Beach Road to Parnell is completed, these allotments will front the main line oi traffic to the country dis tricts. The main station for the contemplated Waikato Railway will also be in close proximity, and must considerably enhance the value of land in this neighbourhood, and the length of term for which the Leases are offered, will justify the Lessees in erecting substantial buildings with the certainity of realising substantial returns T TONSON GARLICK'S SHAEB (Revised to August 4, 1871), May be obtained at E.
