The Evening Star. SATURDAY, APRIL 8, 1871.

From another column will be seen the special trips of the Golden Crown, and which on Monday are so arranged as to enable the Thames people to visit our great athletic sports pn that day and return aga'U on the same evening.

As will be seen from another column a lecture on a very interesting subject will be delivered to-morrow afternoon, at three o'clock, by the Rsv. J. J. Lewis, at the Rooms of the Young Men's Christian Association.

Yesterday afternoon a good many of tho intending competitors at the forthcoming sports on Easter Monday assembled at the Albert Barracks, and went through a course of training. Messrs. Hewitt, Harris, and Bird, the champion runners, took a long spin round the course. Numbers of boys were also in training, and one of the bicycle riders

was on his iron horse, and going round tho course at a great rale, the observed of all observers. Some of the Auckland amateurs ran with the professionals, aud from their per formances wo may expect to see some vc-vy exciting sports on Monday next.

Chang, the giant, says the Ballarat Evening Mail, administered a polite but well-timed re buke to a gentleman who interviewed him, one day this week, at the Victoria Hotel. The visitor in question commenced his remarks, with the worst i.ossible taste, in broken Eng lish, iutroclucingocoasionally the word " savee." Chang, with conscious dignity and true polite ness, interrupted his visitor with the following remarks:—"Pardon me, sir, if you have no objection we will carry on the conversation in English, or, if you prefer it, in cither German or French. I speak either language mode rately well." The visitor put on his hat, and walked off, taken down several pegs by tho polite giant.

Wc see by advertisement that F. S. Hewitt and T. G. Harris, the champion pedestrians, have received a challenge from Mr. Lewiu of the Thames. Lewin has challenged F. S. Hewitt to run a mile. We understand Hewitt's distance not being a mile, he has chal lenged Lewin to run three-quarters of a mile, and, we think, he has acted very fair in meet ing Lewin's challenge in such a manner. Mr. Harris also offers to run Lewin any distance from 300 yards to GOO yards. We should like to see these matches made, as Lewin being our best man in New Zealand at these distances, some splendid running would be the result. The matches, if made, will come off a fortnight after the Easter Athletic Sports.

SERIOUS MINING ACCIDENT.

Another of those accidents which havo been of too frequent occurrence of late on the field, took place th_3 morning a little after eight o'clock, in the mine known as the Lady bird and Hand in Friendship, Tararu. It appears that one of the workmen named Dennis Macguire was filling tip one of the upper stopes with mullock, and had occasion to remove one of the props, and in doing so a portion of tho hanging wall came away and struck him on tho calf of the right le», causing a severe fracture. His fellow work men at once extricated him from his danger ous position, and brought him down to the Hospital on a stretcher, where Dr. Leth bridge, the house surgeon, immediately attended upon him, and the poor fellow is doing as well as can be expected.—[Corres pondent.]

EASTER MONDAY SPORTS.

The athletic fetes at the Albert Barracks on Monday will have some features of novelty that cannot fail to draw the largest assemblage of persons perhaps yet congregated for any entertainment in the city. It is not alone that the pro fessional athletes will appear, but the large number of well-known citizens that have entered for the contests, will give an intei-st to the proceedings which, no ordinary entertainment could afford. No doubt some of the contests will partake of the character of "muff games," but they wiU be none the less entertaining on that account, and to see " fourteen stone and upwards," propelled at unwonted speed, in evident defiance of the inten tions of nature, and coming to the winning post—puffing, blowing, panting, and labouring humanity—will be a sight to be imprinted on the memory. The spirit of self-sacrifice evinced by some of our cifiz.ns in thus contributing to snort, is highly commendable, as is also the moral courage of all the amateur competitors, ia braving banter and less or more of ridicule for the sake of encou raging athletic exercises. Wo only wish that such n spirit would spread, and that the present contest, would be instrumental in overthrowing that foolish conceit which fancies it infra dig. to cultivate the phy sical as well as the mental aud moral nature. It is exceedingly satisfactory to observe the names of many who have en tered for the races. The exercises are manly and healthful in the highest de gree, and exeellenea in them should be esteemed, honourable. Men* sana in cor poresano was the principle of thorough man hood in olden times, aud with the progress of the age there really appears a growing appreciation of the wisdom of the old principle. The encouragement of athle tic exercises is pre-eminently characteris tic of the age ; and in becoming fashion* able cannot fail to have a beneficial effect on the physical constitution, and even on the mental character of our prosperity. The games on .\fonday are the first of the kind held here, hut we trust that the in fluence originated by them will be lasting in its effects. As to the entertainment to be afforded, it is needless to add a word. We shall be mistaken if it will not prove the most popular and successful event that has taken place in the city.

CRICKET

A " muff " game of this favourite pas-1 time was played yesterday afternoon between Hie Auckland Press and the Stage. An eleven had been selected from the employees of the two morning papers, and an eleven from the company of the Theatre Royal. The wickets were pitched a little after one in the Albert Barrack reserve, and the game was played with bats, as in ordinaiy cases, though, doubt-; less, better sport might hare been afforded had broomsticks been used as is cus tomary in muff games down South. Still, o:i the whole, the entertainment was very good, and the members of the two professions entered into the sprit of the tiling admirably. There was a large crowd of persons present, who appeared much interested in the proceedings : evidently, most of them, under the impre.sion that they were wit nessing an ordinary game of cricket. In order to direct operations, and to keep the muff:, m regie, two gentlemen of (lie Athletic Company at present in the city kindly assisted, one taking charge of the Hoyal stagers, and the other of ithe Pros gang, and in consequence the mock tour nament proceeded without a hitch.
