THE CIRCUS.—MR BIRD'S BENEFIT.

The American Circus was again crowded last evening, mostly by young persons, who take delight in witnessing equestrian exercises This remarkable company still susntains its well-earned reputation, and might, we think, venture on another week without loss. The performances were much the same as those of the previous night. This evening's pro gramme v/ill be for the benefit of Mr T. Bird, one rjf the proprietors, in consequence of whioh a double bill of fare has been provrd.ed. The conundrums will also be read out t_o the people, and a £2 prize awarded to the. successful competitor. The last afternoon performance will take place at two o'clock to-morrow.

GRAHAMSTOWN,

This day. Messenger _ tribute crushing of 60 lbg. of specimens to-day -will have a handsome return.

A little gold was found to-day in the South Devon claim, EJarakawi.

The new find in the Alburnia has created a little stir, but mining matters generally are quiet, and the market is wretchedly dull. Te Moananui is impertinently waiting a reply to his letter and telegram from Sir Donald McLean in reference to threatened opposition to opening Ohinemuri. The "Ad vertiser " says : " Those who wish to hold on, who make dire threats, amount probably to ten or a dozen, and could all bo very easily lodged in the Shortland lockup. An Auckland newspaper has talked about Ohinemuri being another Waitara, which is simply non sensical and mischievous talk. The resist ance to the opening of Ohinemuri is in no respects so strong as opposition was at Short land, where the difficulty was got over by simply never minding those who talked about resistance. It is the opposition of natives, who are supposed (?) by the Govern ment, that keeps Ohinemuri closed, nothing else. The land speculations could ven ture to deal in any way with the hills, which would be proclaimed in the goldfields and as for the flats we understand that Mr Macky wished they should be left to the natives. It is with reference to these that land speculators might inquire the public , and as Mr Macky desires that they should be left in such a position that land speculators could deal with them, these gentlemen, if there are any such, would be put in the most favourable situation for business if Mr Mackay's recommendations were agreed to. We do not believe Mr Mackay attributes his defeat to the action of land speculators. Aa to the miners taking Ohinemuri "by Btorm and force of arms," they will do no such thing. There is not encouragement "sticking out" in the way of gold. They want the country chiefly for settlement, and 1 force of arms woule not give title to the land.

DISAPPOINTMENT AT WELLINGTON RACES.

THE DUNEDIN JOCKEI CLUB SCANDAL. B,clKl IMRNH ENTHUSIASTIC RECEPTION 01 MADAME GODDAJRD IN CHRIST CHURCH.

WELLINGTON.

(Prom our own Correspondent.)

This day. Prom a real sporting point of view, the races were rather poor. There was too much engineering, holding horses, &c. The prices charged for entrance to the course and stand were most exorbitant, and people were much dissatisfied. There was a large assemblage, but nob so many as expected. The Maiden Plate was won by Lough Neagh (made Lough JReagh by a misprint in the papers and cards). The winner is said to be owned by Mr Balance, of the Wanganui Herald, but was run by Mr. Walker, of Wanganui. He won on account of a feather weight. The jockey was only five stone.

The Cup was a miserable race. Tambourini cantered quietlybahind, until seeing that Guy Fawkes could not win he came up hand over fist, and came in first in a canter.

Selling RACE.—Lutline and Toi raced from the start, but Toi appeared to have little chance. Lurline won easily. Hack Pace.—Paupo, 1 ; Dick Turpin, 2. The Provincial Plate —Premier, 1 ; Glenary, 2 ; Princess Mary, 3. The Provincial Plate was the most spirited straightforward race of the day. Every rider appeared to try to bring his horse in first. It was a weight-for-age race for all boml fide settlers in the province. Entrances to the racecourse were very indifferent, bub the course itself and accommodation was very good. It is a general holiday to-day.

(From our own Correspondent.) This day.

The " Guardian" has a strong article on the Mabel case. It says, the" public will properly resent Captain Hutchison's insult, and will abstain from subscribing to the club until it has purged itself of contempt in the only possible way, by the expulsion of its officer. It is scarcely to be supposed that the club will stop short of the only legiti mate conclusion to the course now entered upon. They cannot well avoid proceeding further, and nothing but the exercise of the most determined vigilance and re morseless exclusion of shady men will en able tbem to maintain even the present dubious position. Judge Harvey succeeds District Judge Gray in March.
