AUCKLAND TROOP R.C.V.

To the Editor of the Evening Stab. Sic, — Your reporter has rather over stepped the mark in his notice of the Troop yesterday. . Much disatisfaction was certainly expressed on the ground at the strictares and "invidious remarks of the Colonel inspecting ; and several of the members a Ire for resigning. The expense incurred ' <P*ich trooper in his outfit, as compared " ith the paltry capitation granted by Government, should be a sufficient proof that he has more patriotic feelings than the simple dsiplay of his person in a scarlet coat. I am, &c, A.B,

POLICE COURT.

To the Editor of the Evening Star. Sib, —Without entering into the question as to the qualifications of our present E.M., it is very certain the time has arrived when the public business can no longer continue to be postponed from day to day, and week to week, in order that he may adjudicate upon sush cases as may please himself. This is neither fair to the public or to the unpaid magistracy. He continues to hold three appointments, regardless of the public convenience. It is quite time a Police Magistrate or Mayor's Court was appointed; as it is, constant obstruction to justice and annoy ance to the public is of daily occurrence, to say nothing of the public time and money wasted. The Government ought to alter this state of affairs. Our present E.M. deserves to be well pensioned, and make room for a younger and more active man. At all events, he ought not to hold more than one appointment in a city the size of Auckland. Yours, &c, E.

A FEARFUL RIDE.

On the 15th December, Mr Sub-inspector Harrison was returning fvom Stroud to Dungog in company with the A. A. Com pany's Gloucester superintendent (Mr Keys), and one of the police, and, whilst in the vicinity of the Earn Station, having occasion to dismount from his horse, the animal jerked the bridle off his hand and made off up the range. Mr Harrison followed, and after about half-an-hour's chase secured him'; his companions having, meanwhile, ridden onwards. On trying to recover the road, the horse took a wrong track, through the darkness of the night caused by the bush fires, and carried his rider down into a gully, out of which he was driven by a bush fire, which was approaching along both ridges. For three miles he was driven up into the ranges, and finally surrounded by a complete circle of fire. Twice he was on the point of giving in, but, again trusting to his horse, relying on his surefootedness, and in sheer desperation, with handkerchief bound over his mouth —for the fire was scorching him terribly, and the smoke was suffo cating—he made a dash through the burning bush down into another gully. There he remained from about 1 to 5 a.m., surrounded by a complete cordon of flames, his face turned to the ground, and the smoke curling over him in dense black volumes. He was torn and scratched from head to foot, and his clothes were in ribbons, consequent upon the reckless manner in which he was com pelled to run through the burning scrub, to avoid being roasted alive. As soon as daylight permitted, and he could once more see his way, he again started, and after several hours' ride, made an old station of the Company's called the Black Camp, which had been many years deserted. Here, after searching for some time, he found an overgrown track, which ultimately led him to the Koruya Eiver, in the immediate neighbourhood of the township of Stroud, where he arrived about mid-day, having been sixteen hours and a half in the burning ranges; In the meantime, the alarm having been given, parties were organised in Dungog and Stroud for the purpose of seeking him, but with faint hopes of ever finding him alive.— Newcastle Chronicle.

" I went to bathe," said a Yankee, "but before I was long in the water I saw a huge, double-jawed shark making rapidly towards me. What was to be done ? When he was within a yard of me, I faced round, dived under the shark, and, taking a knife from my pocket, ripped the monster up."—"But did you bathe with your clothes on?" asked the astonished listener. "Well," answered the story teller reproachfully, " well, I do think you needn't be so tarnation particular !" A naughty little boy blubbering "because his mother wouldn't let him go down to the river on the Sabbath day, upon being admonished, said : " I didn't want to go a-swimmin' with 'em, ma; I only wanted to go down and see the bad boys drown for going a-swimmin' on a Sunday,"
