Thursday evening. Canterbury Cup—2so soys. ;2£ miles :—• Mr Nosworthy's Lurline, 7st. 51bs. ... 1 Mr Campbell's Tambourine, Bst. 111b... 2 Mr Brabazon's Detractor, Bst. 31b. ... 3

Four horses started. After the preliminary canter Lurline bolted down the course, her ockey being unable to hold her. Ultimately she was got back, and up to the post. After a little delay, caused by the fractiousness o* the horses, they got away to a good start, Tambourine cutting out the running at a hot pace, closely followed by Detractor and Lurline, with Yatterina in the rear. In this order the grand stand was passed in the first time round, Lurline pulling hard at her jockey. Half - way round the course, in th e first time, Lurline began to force the running Detractor and Tambourine running stride and stride. At the top, in the turn from home, Lurline was let out, and took second place, Tambourine still holding the lead, Detractor third, and Yatterina out of the race. In this order they came down the straight, when Lurline came away, and won easily in almost a canter hard held.

Great cheering was given for the Canter bury horse. Betting at start—3 to 2 against Detractor ;2to 1 against Yatterina; 4 to 1 and 5 to 1 against Lurline ; 4 to 1 and 5 to 1 against Tambourine. Time—3 mm. 15 sec. In the Cup Lurline carried 41h^ver weight. The time was one second slower than last

year. B _ For'the Free Handicap, for 50 soys., one mile, five started, with the following re sult :— .

Mr Griffith's Defamation, Bst 21b . 1 Mr Nosworthy's No Name, 7st 41b .. 2 This was a good race. Defamation came away shortly after the start and won easily. No Name struggled hard for first place. Time —1 mm. 45 sees.

Mr Griffiths was again loudly cheered on scoring this second victory. There were about 3000 persons present.

MECHANICS' INSTITUTE.

The following is the Act recently passed in the General Assembly for authorising the sale of the site and buildings of the Mechanics' Institute:— An Act to authorize the Issue of a Crown Grant to the Superintendent of Auckland of certain Land in the City c#A.uckland used as site of a Mechanics' Institute and the Sale thereof. Whereas by grant from the Crown reciting that an Association had been formed in the town of Auckland under the title of "The Auckland Mechanics' Institute," the land described in the Schedule hereto was on the fifteenth day of August in the year one thousand eight hundred and forty-three granted to certain persons to hold the same to thpjr executors administrators and assigns froiq'jTi?, first day of August then last for the'Ap^'of nine hundred and ninety-nine years if the said Association should so long continue upon trust to-permit the said piece of land to be used as a site for the erection of a Mechanics' Institute and to be Appropriated and used for the purposes of the said Insti tute' And whereas a building for the said Mechanics Institute has been erected on the same land, but it is alleged that the position of the Baid piece of land renders it now un suitable for the purpose of a Mechanics "lrii stitute And whereas it is expedient that provision should be made for the sale of the said piece of land and building and for ex pending the proceeds thereof on the purposes of a Mechanics Institute for the City of Auckland.

Be it therefore enacted by the General Assembly, of New Zealand in Parliament assembled and by the authority of the same as follows—

1. The Short Title of ;this Act shall be " The Auckland Institute Site Sale Act 1872," ,

2- ,The Governor may cause a Crown grant of the fee-simple of the said piece of land subject to the said recited lease to be made to the Superintendent of the Province of Auck land and Lis successors in office upon trust for the purposes of the said Association. 3. The Superintendent of Auckland may if authorized thereunto by an Act of the Pro vincial Legislature of the said Province sell the fee-simple of the said land free and dis charged of the said lease and all trusts upon which the same is now held but such sale shall be with the concurrence of such persons as by the Actjauthorizing the sale are declared to represent the said Association for the pur poses of such sale.

4. In the Act of the said Provincial Legis lature authorizing said sale it may be pro vided in what manner and subject to what terms and conditions (if any) and whether in one or more blocks the said piece of land shall be sold and whether by public auction or private contract.

5. Itshall not be necessary for any purchaser of any such land to see to the application of the purchase money and' the receipt of the Superintendent of the said Province with the concurrence of such persons as aforesaid shall be sufficient discharge for such money. 6. The proceeds of such sale shall be ap plied- by the governing body of the said Association to the purposes of purchasing a site for and building a Mechanics' Institute for the said city and if it shall appear to such Legislature that the said Association has ceased to continue or ought to be reconsti tuted such proceeds may be applied to the purposes aforesaid by any other Association which may appear to the Provincial Legisla ture to have taken the place of or represent the said Association or be established for pur poses similar to those for which the recited grant was made.

7. In the Act of the said Provincial Legislature authorizing the said sale it may be provided that there shall be excepted from such sale a piece of the said land defined in such Act forming the southern portion thereof and such portion so excepted shall be vested in Her Majesty her heirs and successors and and shall be a public highway for foot pas sengers only or if it be so provided in such Act for foot passengers horses and vehicles generally.

PRINCE OF WALES THEATRE.

We are glad to observe that the character of this theatre is being well sustained by the Dramatic Company, and last night the per formances 'of "Our Nelly" and the exquisite " Taming a. Shrew," from the mind of Shakspere were well performed. Mr Jones was excellent as the wife tamer ; and Messrs Clinton, Hill, and Joyce were admirable in their several parts, ex hibiting a keen sense of the lively and the humorous. Mrs Walter Hill was -equally good, as she always is, in whatever character she may represent. To-night will be presented by the same company Shakspere's comedy pf " Katherine and Petruchio*" and the pathetic drama of the "Winter Robin; or, the Sailor's Child.

The truth that. ' ' music hath charms " was fully exemplified last night by the crowd of persons of different ages and . sexes who followed and eagerly drank in the sounds pf tbe drums and fifes of the Auckland Band of Juvenile Abstainers.- This hopeful band is under the control of Mr Jeune, and the pro ficiency of the youthful musicians testifies of his capabilities for his position. The band played merrily through the principal streets to the evident delight of the wayfarers. A meeting of persons interested in athletic sports will be held on Tuesday next at the Newmarket Hotel. "'A-Literary Treasure. —AJfew years ago, at a junction-room in Dublin, an old edition of Shakspere was put up for sdle, its possession being (vigorously contested and ultimately the lot was knocked down for 255. In less than a week it was sold for LSO. The purchaser brought it dvpt. to the great mart for all curiosities, Lond on, and the book, which turned out to be a copy of the first folio edition of Shakes pere, was sold for L4OO.
