CHRISTCHURCH RACES.

Our telegrams giving the result of the Christchurch races yesterday, came to hand too late for publication in our first edition. A portion of them was published in a second edition. We give the messages to-day in the briefest possible form, having eliminated all unnecessary remarks to save space, although we have already had to pay the heavy wire charges on them :—

THE NEW STEAMER RESULT.

ACCIDENT AT THE LAUNCH.

An attempt was made this morning to launch the neat little screw steamer jusc built by Mr William Holmes for Messrs Baxter Light and Co , of Napier. Unfor tunately the launch was not a success, owing to a mistake on the part of tho men in charge of the shores. The boat was built sHe on to the water, like the Manaia and Winona, and it was of course necessary to launch her in that position. At half-past nine this morning all was in readiness. The new vessel looked very pretty as she lay propped up by her cradle, being gaily decorated with flags, and her fresh paint shining again in the bright sunlight. Her fine symmetery was also the theme of general admiration, and even elicited encomiums from rival shipbuilders. Pre sently the blocks were knocked away, and at a signal from Mr. Holmes, which by unhappy mischance, did not reach the man having charge of the foreshores, the aftershores were knocked away. Away went the stern down the ways at once, the bows being still held by the dog-shore. In vain did Mr Holmes and some of the spectators shout to the workmen to knock it away. The attendant was either too taken aback, or not able from some cause or other to execute the order, the consequence being that the steamer swung right round into a slanting position between the ways, and falling slightly over towards the water, her bilge stuck fast in the sand about ten feet from the water's edge, her rudder-post just touching the tide and her bow only just clear of the dog-Bhore, which was bent and wrenched out. Efforts were im mediately made to lever her up and place fresh shores under her. lb was, how ever, evident that nothing could be done towards completing the launch till the next tide. We do not expect she will be got off before Monday. The vessel is lying in an easy position, and has sustained no injury. Mr Baxter, one of the owner?, was present, and with the builder, was of course much chagrined at the mishap. The Result is about the same size as the Sir Donald, and is to be employed as a tugboat, and in the general coast trade at Napier. The engines are being built by Messrs Hawkes wood and Co.

POLICE COURT. This Day.

(Before Thomas Beckham, Esq., E.M.)

MOONY-EYED. Richd Richardson, an old man was charged with being drunk last night, and lined 103. Prisoner had been watching Venus and the moon from Durham-street and became giddy and fell down.

Mr Inspector Broham asked for a remand until Tuesday next, which was granted. RETIRED FOR THE NIGHT. William Turner, on remand, was charged with being in the water-closet of Mr Edward Grattan, of the Thames Hotel, on the 13th instant, for an unlawful purpose. Mr Broham said that the Golden Crown was not going until Wednesday next. The Court ordered prisoner to Mount Eden until that day when he should have his re lease, as he was likely to be a great acquisi tion to the Golden Crown. BREACH OF LICENSING ACT.

mw -1,. KATE MCMANTJS. an Z ?•*#" °f va Srancy> and with being an incorrigible rogue. h Sentenced to twelve months' imprison on^ 6 P?° ner { °hn Kemsley again appeared bfvvi «ai g J e°f Sefcfcln§ fire t0 t^ premises m Wakefield-street on tbe 22nd of October. George Jeffrey was next called, and deposed that he was at the fire in Wakefield street soon after the bells rang. He examined the remains of the fire, but found no vestiges of pots, kettles, or furniture of any sort. There were none there He examined the shed at the rear of the shop before anything had been removed j he saw then about half a crate of dishes, plates, and cups and saucers in a heap. Detective lernahan was with him, and while they wero there the chimney of Avery's cottage fell on the crockery and smashed it. The lot was standing in a pile, and was not previously broken. He believed from his observations that there was very little crockery in the shop; there was a great deal more saved than destroyed. He asked Kemsley if he could account for the fire ; he replied he thought it originated in Avery's cottage ; he was always afraid of a fire breaking out there ; the fireplace is still standing. He said further, that he left his shop with his j son, _ about eight o'clock on the previous night and fastened every place up before leaving. He left for the purpose of going to the Whau to fetch his wife and family, and that he took nothing with him but an overcoat. He said that all his furni ture was burnt and everything he possessed, beyond what he stood upright in, and that his wife had only taken a change of clothing. He had left his books with Mr Woodward, but all his papers were burnt. He said he was always afraid of fire. It was his invaria ble custom to take his books to bed with him, and put them under his pillow, but the thought struck him on that night that he would take them to Mr Woodward. Pri soner had been burnt out before. He saw the large cask referred to by previous wit nesses. He examined the cask and made a list of the contents (produced), and which witness read, containing about seventy entries of articles of every description of domestic and business use. A second list was then read, relating to china, crockery, and glass ware, supposed to be lost in the fire, valued at £39 19s 4d. Articles corresponding with the list were found in the cases. Another list was here produced in which was enumerated a large number of articles of ironmongery, brassware, edge-tools, beeswax, gum, and a whole catalogue of other things, tie subsequently searched the house at the Whau occupied by prisoner. A list (No 4) was put in, containing an account of books, document.?, and papers found there. All these articles, amounting to 255, are in the hands of the police. To Mr Hesketh : He met Kemsley near the Exchange Hotel, when the questions were asked. He heard the investigation before the Coroner, but did not know of his own: knowledge why Mrs Malam was not called to pive evidence at this Court. She was subpomed. He know of the where abouts of the cask before tho inquest. He \ heard that prisoner had removed it the day after the fire. At this stage of the proceedings the further hearing of this case was adjourned until Monday next. The Court then rose.

PRESENTATION TO CAPTAIN BURNS.

The members of tbe Hobson Company held a special meeting last evening to consider a presentation of esteem to their late captain, Mr A. Burns It was finally resolved that a suitable address, expressive of their feelings towards him should be presented on the s.s. Southern Cross, which takes him to Tauranga. A committee was appointed to carry out the resolution. THE PRESENTATION. To-day at half-past one o'clock, the pre sentation took place on tha wharf close to the s.s. Southern Cross previous to her depar ture for Tauranga. Lieut. Peter Dignan officiated on behalf of himself and brother officers. Sub-Lieut. Clifton and a large number of the members of the company were prssent. Tbe testimonial consisted of an illuminated address, and a purse of sove reigns. Lieut. Dignan read the address, which was as follows :—■ " To Andrew Burns, Esq. "We, the officers of the Hobson Corps A.R.V., on behalf of ourselves, the non commissioned officers and men of the said corps, in token of the esteem in which you were held during the time we served under your command, hereby present you with the acompanying purse of sovereigns to pur chase a souvenir to! keep you in remembrance of the many happy hours spent together. Wishing you every happiness and prosperity in your°new sphere of life, we now say to you good-bye.—Peter Dignan, Lieut. ; W. P. Clifton, Sub-Lieut."
