AMUSEMENTS AND MEETINGS.

Mb E. D. Daviks, known as the greatest ventrilo quist of modern times, and his talented company will appear in the City Hall on Monday next, in a select recherche entertainment, particulars of which will be duly announced.

Mr Sam Poole, actor and humourist, will take his tmneat on the night of the 17th inst, at the Prince of Wales Iheatre.

Our numerous readers will remember that the grand entertainment of the Hobson Minstrels Tviil take place this evening in the Catholic Institute, 'Wellington-street. We notice that the minstrels have succeeded in securing the eminent services of the local musicians, the Misses Hayles, and of Auck land's nightingale, Miss Hood, who willsiDgthat pretty ballad, " Leaf by Leaf the Roses Fade." The pro gramme promises a variety of interesting things, and at the close a quadrille party, which seems in dispensable to the success of every local entertain ment.

A special meeting of the members of the Templar Benefit Society will be held this evening: ia the Newton Congregational School-room at half-past seven o'clock.

SONS OF OLD COLONISTS.

A i&RGELY attended meeting of Sons cf Old Colonists was held last evening in the Masonic Hotel, and long before the hour of meeting a large gathering of men was noticed outside eagerly waiting for admittance, and after the meeting commenced several old colon ists were heard to grumble because they could not gain entrance, being fathers instead of sons. Mr Richard J. Feltns, a son of an old colonist, explained that the object cf the meeting was to consider the propriety of sending a deputation to Sir George Grey, in order to obtain a block of land similar to that granted to tbe settlers of Katiknti, and upon the same terms. Captain Gordon was then voted to the chair, and read a letter from the Thames sympathising with the object of the meeting. Mr Feltus was the first speaker and complained of the injustice suffered by the sons of early settlers while preference was given to recent settlers; he did not care a fig for land himself, and should not fret if he did not get an acre for him self, but he was desirous that justice should be done to others. 9he chairman expressed his sympathy with the wishes of the meeting, and thought that government would in future be very careful in its land grants; he quoted and explained seveial of the provisions of the Auckland Waste Lands Act in refer ence to the taking up of land, and stated that the superintendent had power to alter, amend, revoke and repeal any regulations he mieht have made for the occupation of such lands. Mr Feltns again spoke, and said if they could not see their condition and the iojnstice of the thing, then Heaven help them. ■Whatever might be the result of this meeting, he, Bichard Feltus, could lay his hand upon his heart with a consciousness of having performed his duty in calling this meeting together. He had only now to move " That a deputation be appointed, consisting of Auckland and Thames representatives to wait upon Sir George Grey, to urge upon him the justice of landing over a block of land to the Sons of Old Colonists re iiling in the colony for a period of ten years or more." Several otaer propositions were made and the following were carried, moved by Joseph Tnrtley seconded by Eobert Bond, "That a residence of twenty-five years constitute an old colonist." Moved by Sir Fleming seconded by Mr Long: "That the sons of old colonists have a jnst claim on the Government for a free grant of land.'? Moved by Mr' Kellsseconded by Mr Wilson, "That a committee be formed to consider the terms upon which the claim snail be based and report there on at a future meeting." A committee was then appointed, consisting of Messrs Grattan, Pace, "Wilson. Fleming, Craig, Clark, Bond, Gordon and Darter Mr Shepherd, having ejplained the terms on which the Katskati settlers held their land, the meeting closed with a vote of thanks to the chairman.

PRESERVATION TO ME LLOYD.

We are glad to learn that the employees of the Auckland Onehunga and Mercer branches of our railway department, have presented their late traffic manager, Mr W. M. Lloyd, with a testimonial accompanied with a purse of sovereigns, expressive of their appreciation of the impartial manner in which he dis charged his duties during his connection with the department. The testimonial is a very handseme one and reflects much credit, not only upon MrE. B. Dickson who executed it but as indicative of the friendly feeling Which existed between the receiver and the different officials who were associated with Mr Lloyd previous to his retirement from the public service.

The Approaching Races.

Oxtr annual races are fast drawing near, and from the number of horses entered and those that are in training for the various events to be decided at Ellerslie, on the Ist and 3rd January next, promise to be a great success. Last year at this time there were only about two horses to be seen working on the course ef a morning, until the Southern contingent arrived. How times have altered, fcr now those that are fond of early rising and watching the horses work, must be up early to see Jack Thorpe with his string. Jack is still located at the Victoria stables and has under his charge, Rangi, Dis cord, Tui, Midnight. The first named is the property of MrCrummerand is engaged in the Cap and Grandstand Handicap, the friends of her plucky owner will be pleased to hear she has quite recovered from her severe accident last New Year's Day, and as Jack has had her seme time under hi 3 charge, she is certain to be brougtit out the very fruit of condition, and may possibly place the cup to the credit of her owner, and no win would, be more popular with the public. Discord, the property of Mr Perkins, is looking in tip top form, but I doubt much her trainer being able to bring her to the post, as, I hear, she is suffering much from 'heumatisnj and requires a visit to the Wai *era springs. Tui and Midnight are from the Waikato, and, since they, have been down, have wonderfully improved, the latter is engaged in the Derby, but, although a magnificent shaped filly, is, to my mind, too •mall for the company she will have to meet, Saunterer and Islesman are both engaged in the Steeplechase and are doing remarkably Veil, the latter I never saw looking better. 1 must congratulate Jack upon the appearance of his horse, and if he is not successful he deserves to be, as all the horses have been well done by. Bob Thorpe is located at the Harp of Erin, and has Mr Buckland's Derby celt, Ariel ; the Belle, and ould Earey. These horses do their work also on the course and are all looking well and going in great form. At Kohimarama George Cutts has Ngaro, Paruawhenua, and Luna at workj the latter is engaged in the Derby tod-1 the two first in the-Cup. Ngaro has been pretty "leniently treated, and may ; possibly place this race to her owner's credit. I do not fancy her stable companion so much «• .1 think he is not the best of weight carriers in good company. Mr Waiters has •pretty large string this year at his' own place at Papakura, under French, which in cludes Medea, 4 years ; Kingfisher, 5 years ; •ad two colts out of Fanny Eifsher, a 3-year and a 2-year old; so this old Auckland sportsman ought to pull off something worth Wing. Besides these there are in various stablea near Aucklond Moose, Kate, Perfume, The Arrow, Titiko, Stranger, Skylark, Mount,.and some half-a-dozen other, all in training for our coming meeting. The Southern contingent will be here about next Wednesday, or by the first boat leaving Wellington after their races, and will include, I beli eV e; Mr Redwood's Cocksure, Guy JWk'&i andproDaWvKorari, Dan, O'Brien's Tambourini, Mr Sand's Kauri, and The Chief jMx Owen's V&teire. Medora, the

stepplpchaser, will probably be here by the next boat from Wanganui.

WHAU PRESBYTERIAN BAZAAR.

A bazaar, consisting of ornamental, fanciful, and useful articles in aid of trm Presbyterian Church and Manse at the Whan, will be opened to morrow a< the C-ty Ball, and will t>e continuifl until Ftid y evening. We jparn that the district whi<h the hszaar is intended to Wntfit, was for a long time witi - out a settled minister, and that a piece of lftnl was ru'Choserl of s-ome six acres through the liberality of Messrs L.-.mb and Buehauan, and that a grant of £50 and some goods were promised for the manse. As these presents were not adequate to the completion of the general plan, it was decided to hold a bazaar as a pleasant and friendly means of increasing the necessary funds. The ladies, therefore, with that earnestness and zeal which belong to the sisterhood when a holy cause needs assistance, set to work with hearts, thoughts and fingers, with a determination to realise their views in relation to the object, and to morrow some of the results of their noble labours may be seen in the City Hall. To morrow we hope to give a bird's-eye view of the industrial and fanciful collection.
