* Ml* f^Eur* la (iiii diutacet

The reception to-day accorded to Sir George Grey was a genuine ovation. The simplicity of form adopted in welcoming the Leader of the Opposition gave freedom for the spon taneous expression of the people's feelings, and more pleasing than the booming of guns, or the formal pomp of military escort, must surely be such a hearty outburst of popular enthu siasm and such sincere and unbought exhibition of a free people's ' loyalty and gratitude. W e do not know what may have been heretofore the proudest moments in the life of Sir George Grey, but we venture to say that either he or any other public man might well regard such a scene as that in which he was to-day the central figure as a picture that should_ stand out pleasantly and prominently in the vista of an honored and distinguished past, nor can we conceive of anything that ought to be more pleasing to a public man who admires and desires the triumphs of popular institutions than to be the recipient of such a spontaneous, cordial, and imposing expression, of thanks for his defence of the rights, and liberties of the people. Sii George Grey and his faithful supporters have fought a battle that will be historic in New Zealand, and the memory of which will be engraven on the people's hearts. And when the bribery and corruption and villainy that have characterised the conduct of the present rotten Government shall have ceased to infect the moral sentiments of' so many of the people, this^ little band will be remembered as having resisted temptation, and stood faithful amid the faithless to the cause of the people. .The reception to-day was not marred by a single flaw. Imposing in its very simplicity, and from the presence of such a multitude, it has perhaps been the most effective as an expression of genuine popular

feeling that lias'ever .taken place in New Zealand.

In connection with the petty spitefulness shown by the General Government in refusing per mission for the guns to be used or the cavalry to parade in honoi of the Superintendent, we learn that the same churlishness was exhibited by the authority of the General Government at Dunedin on the occasion of the reception of the Superintendent. We may also add that we learn that orders were issued from head quarters prohibiting the Hobson Company's Band from accompanying the procession, an order which was treated with the contempt it deserved, the members of the band exercising their rights as private citizens, and going as they had promised. The smallest of all the little meannesses, however, was in respect of the firing the salute in honor of the Prince of Wales. It was originally fixed for ten o'clock, but countermanded and'fixed for nine, lest it might seem to lend eclat to the reception fixed for that hour. And these people who give these insults are living and feeding- at our cost, crawling like political bugs on the body corporate,

An accident happened this morning to a horse belonging to Mr. McCormich, which nearly resulted in the loss of another of his valuable team. An empty dray was being drawn from Victoria-street into the ground being excavated for Barnett and Levy's new premises, and in passing over the soft new made earth the dray capsized, and the horse fell under the shafts. The position was so awkward that it was with great difficulty the horse was extricated, and when he was liberated he gave unmistakable evidence of the delight at the relief he experienced. It was no joke to him to have his tail pulled out of joint in slipping the breeching strap over it as the only means of effecting his liberation.

Race between the Taupe and Wellington.

(Special Telegram to "Star.")

WELLINGTON,

(From Our Own Correspondent.) This day.

A good deal of excitement was felt in town yesterday as to whether the Taupo or Wel lington would make the besb time to Lyttel ton, but as each managed to give his own version of the affair, no satisfactory conclu sion can be arrived at, except to know that one boat is as fast as the other, and that both are very smart. The Manager of the N.Z.S.S. Company received a telegram stating that the Wellington arrived at Lyt telton at 3 p m., having left Wellington at twenty minutes to twelve on Saturday, and that she had beaten the Taupo by fifteen minutes. Another telegram states that the Wellington arrived at a quarter-past three, occupying lolj hours in the trip, and that she was beaten by the Taupo, which went down in 15^ hours. The machinery and new pro peller of the Wellington worked admirably.

(From our Dunedin Correspondent.) Through the quick despatch given to the Wellington the mails were delivered here 44 days from London, or 3 days before time, the quickest transit on record. On the run from Wellington to Lyttelton the Welling ton beat the Taupo by a quarter of an-hour.

PRINCE OF WALES THEATRE.

In consequence of the Royal, birthday being n special holiday for the people, the management of the Prince of Wales Theatre have prepared a real dramatic treat. The first piece on the bill for this evening is the glorious comedy of "Grist to the Mill," in which Miss Carry George will appear in the leading character, namely, that of Franchine, and Mr Lawrence as the Prince, at the close of which Miss Lizzie Morgan, assisted by the whole company, will sing the loyal song —" God Bless the Prince of Wales I" The pretty bur lesque of " Lalla Rookh," founded on Thomas Moore's popular poem, of that name, will follow, in which Miss Clara Stephenson will appear as Feramorz, Miss Patty Holt as Lalla Rookh, and Miss Lizzie Morgan as Hafed, in which character she will sing several charming songs. Holiday folks may therefore pass a very agreeable evening at the Prince of Wales Theatre. Miss Lizzie Morgan will take her benefit on Friday night. ■

CLAIR'S TROUPE TO-NIGHT.

Mr E. Clair's famous Variety Troupe will appear to-night in the Lome-street Hall, and a monster bill has been prepared. The mere announcement of a performance by this well-known company of amateurs is sufficient to attract a good audience, and those who attend will certainly not be disappointod of a first class night's amusement.

HOBSON BAND MINSTRELS.

The fourth anniversary of the Hobson Baad to which the public are under such great obligations, will take placa in the Catholic Institute to-night. The minstrels connected with the band have prepared a cipital programme of negro business, to be followed by a quadrille party.

Several excellent choruses will also bo given; hence a pleasant evening may be anticipated.

Reception of His Honor the Superintendent.

The reception of his Honor the Superinten dent, Sir George Grey, X C 8., and the members associated with him in the- noble stand made duriug the last session of the Atsemb.y for the constitutional rights of the people against party tyranny was accom panied by a demonstration of which any leader might, feel proud. We are assured by those who v/i nsssed the Uunedin recep iou of their and Mends that, although a thoroughly cordial and popula' une, there waa au j»mu'unt of confusion witti which soday's proceedings contrasted most favourably, E>rly iv the morning the city was gay with burning and thickly thronged wuh peop c of all classes, and the crowd greatly increased towards nine o'clock, when there could not navo been fewer than five thousand people awaiting the arrival of Ma honor. At the junction of Wakefield street, Upper Queen-street, and G-rey-street adjoinipg the fire-bell, a platform, and Irmmpal arch had been erected, ino3t taste fully decorated with evergreens. Across the front was extended the motto, " Borjour to whom honour is due," and beneath, " Truth, Honour, and Right." Below that was spread an inscription " Auckland will determine her own Constitutional future. God save the Queen." On other parts of the arch were "Auckland thanks you.' and along the front of the row of shops on the right-haud side was stretched a streamer with the historic words slightly attered : i "Auckland refuses to be awed by a weak Ministiyor bribed by aa empty treasury." Across the shops on the Wakefield-ttreet side: "Welcome our Defenders." Stuck here and there and everywhere, waved lifetle flags and placards with the mysterious Gs Sd (referring to the munificent composition made by the Colonial Treasury for the £2 for one £1 grant promised to municipalities and highway boards). Among theQueen-streeb decorations we noticed specially a line string of bunting stretched from Cruicksuank, Miller, and Co.'s warehouse to Hewin and Brothers, at the corner of Wellesley-street. Across the premises of Mason Brothers' hair dressing-rooms was a motto " He did defend the [right.' 1 The Thistle Hotel was gay with banners, and bridges of streamers ex tended from Mussrs Vaile's to the British Hotel, and from the Waitemata to Thames Hotel; the shipping was also decked out in holiday attire, and Auckland looked her best. PETTY ACTION OP THE GENERAL GOVERNMENT. Application had been made by the Recep tion Committee to the General Government for the use of the guns in the Barracks, which have repeatedly been granted to Opera Com panies for the purpose of giving effect to their performances, but on this occasion an exceedingly paltry spirit was manifested. The following is the reply received by the secretary : — General Government Oflices, Auckland. November 8, 1575. Sir, —T have the honor to acknowledge receipt of your letters of dates respectively as quoted in the margin herejf, requesting i.ho use of the guns in the Albeit Jim-rack-i, "to assist in the ov.niun tr> Kir George dray," and have to request taat you will be good enough to inform tho .Reception Committee ttint ie has Dteri found, upon inquiry, that the.-c j.:uns cannot bo made available) for the purpose proposed, I hava tho honor to bo, Sir, Your obedient Servant, Daniel Pollen. F. G. EwingtoD, Esq., Queen-street, Auckland, Major Gordon, no doubt under instruc tions, ordered that the Mobson Band, which the Reception Committee had engaged, should not attend. On this account the members appeared in their private capacities and not in uniform as members of the volun teer force, as they had done -it dozens of other entertainments, public and private.

la place of the cannon, the .Reception Committee substituted the fire - bells to herald the arrival of iho party from One hung, and this means rjroved most tileetive, their loud clanging about half-past nine o'clock making ie widely known that the ca valcade was approaching the city.

TRIUMPHAL AiICH AT NEWMARKET.

The grand archway at Newmarket was reared under difficulties which would have proved imsurmouutable to any but men of idomitablo perseverance. Prom the dense bushes of the gully, ferns and other suitable evergreens were diagged regardless of the streaming moisture on the vegetation through which they had to force their up-hill way and heedless of the rain which in torrents poured down upon them. Through all this Mr. Webber and Mr. Whisker worked with unflinching courage and. assisted by Mr Keaue'sman, and other volunteers the requir ed amuont of decorative material was on the spot by the time Messrs Saxton and McColl had completed their heavy task of raising the framework of the structure. Inadvertently Mr Sax ton's name was omitted from the notice which appeared in last nights paper, of the tradesmen who had offered assistance. Mr aaxton, both theoretically and practically rendered great service, and, with his two men, displayed great activity, and ingeniousness. The services of Messrs Itichards and Lowe in filling the blank, caused by knowing no one to cart material, won the thanks of those interested. Messrs Sfcaliworthy, Wm. Mor gan and K. Dinnison undertook the important work of making, in large letters, the words of welcome which occupied so conspicuous a place. " Newmarket bids thee welcome !" was the first to catch the eye and was stretched across the Triumphal arch. The arch is about 40 feet high in the centre, a smaller arch on each side being constructed and decorated with great taste. The amount of English oak branches used shews that a lively remembrance of the old country pre vails in some one's breast. Messrs. Heron and Barr, stretched a line of flags across the street to their respective houses. From, the old Toll-house to Mr Jenkins' house bunting waved cheerily in the breeze, and dancing up and down, seemed imbued with the spirit of the scene. THE AERIVAL AND PROGRESS. At eight o'clock this morning the steamer ariived in the Manukau, having on board Sir George Grey, X 0.8., M.H.K , Superin tendent of the Province of Auckland. At the same Hour the coaches engaged by the Reception Committee left Auckland, accom panied by a large number of carriages con veying private and political friends and admirers of Sir George Grey. At half-past eight Messrs. Robert Graham, J. M. Shera, and G. M. Eeed, Members of the Executive of the Reception Committee, visited Sir George on board, and informed him of the preparations made for his welcome back to Axxckland. By this time the roadway and neighbourhood of the wharf was ablaze with bunting and crowded with spectators. Punctually at nine o'clock Mr. Crowther's handsome turn-out of six greys pulled up near to the wharf amid the admiration of by-sfcanders at Onehunga. Sir George Grey, in company with Messrs. R. G. Wood, O'Rorke, Swanaon, Yon der Heyde, and Dignan, also Messrs. Boylan and Reed, of the Reception Committee, proceeded up the wharf and was met by a deputation of One hunga gentlemen, Mr J. D. Jackson read the following ad dress : —

On behalf of the inhabitants pf Onehnnga, the District Board proffer you sincere welcome on landing here upon your return to the Province of Auckland, cf which you are the honoured head We avail ourselves of this opportunity to thank you from our hearts, for the ability, pevsaverance, and courage with which yon fought for the right of the people, to be heard by means of a General Election before revolutionary changes should be effected in the Constitution confer/ed upon this Colony by Her M»iesty and the Imperial Parliament. Wo applaud the courage you (aspUyed in dragging into the light of day and exposing official abuses and misdeeds, and console ourielves with the reilaition that if it should be tho wish of the people that the Provincial form of Government should pass away, this event would not have been brought about through any want of zealous effort on the part of your Honor, or of those with whom you were politically associated during the late Parliamentary struggle ; and we feel assured that the chivalry, honesty, and high-minded

ness exhibited bf you. throughout your career as Superintendent will long be jemembertd by the people of this Province with gratitude andaffyction. Onehunga ha- special reason to thank you for the warm support you aff jrded our estearned representa tive in ins advocacy of tho ir,t treats of 'his place, mire tspeci>*lly in obtairjiEg the reserved lands as eddowments for the ( ocaftt of the town It is our earnest pra/K* th-t you may long live am >ugst the t>o jple whose cause 3ou have so faith fully served. J D. Jacksos, Chairman of ttie Board Sir George thanked them for the address, and assured the people of Onehunga that as long as they had such a noble representative as Mr O'Rorke they might rely on every means being used to advance the interest of their town. Having himself selected Onehunga as a settlement, he felt a special interest in their district, aixf wished them every prosperity. Cheers having been for Sir George, Mr CocTlin proposed a similar honour to Mr O'Rorke.

The carriage conveying Sir George, Mr O'Rorke, and Mr Reader Wood, Provincial Treasurer, drove off at a smart pace. la the pecond carriage were Messrs Swaneon, Dignan, and Mr Yon der Heyde, who was accompanied by Mrs Yon der Heyde, follow ing were to be seen our leading and most influential citizens. The drive, as afterwards described by Sir George, was of the most gratifying character, nearly every house having reared on high the best flag its inmates could raise. Ladies waving welcomes with their handkerchiefs from balcony and windows, even the young people entered into the enjoyment of the occasion and with merry faces held up tiny flags, and standing en the gates to get ss high as possible, held their banners up with pride, and " hoorayed" to Sir George as ho passed by. Among the residences which combined to do honor to the patriotic party was that of Mr Justice Gillies, where the ensign was dipped as the carriages passed. Tha air was cool and bracing, and, as every few hundred yards added fresh vehicles or horse men to the procession, the latter grew a most imposing affair, and when Sir George's carriage drove into New market it was met by a large assemblage of people who had gathered round the triumphal arch. Mr Crowther pulled up immediately under the same, as it was arranged that Sir George Grey should stop at Newmarket and receive a few words of wel come from the residents. Newmarket cer tainly deserves great praise for tho display made. In the face of yesterday's weather such decorations were not expected by the Auckland public, who expressed their sur prise and pleasure at tho effect produced. Mr Taite, the active secretary, may there fore rest satisfied with the success. Mr John Angus advanced, supported by the leading residents of Newmarket, and read the following address :—

T h*vn mveh r>loisurc, on behalf of tho inhabitant," of this district, in welcoming you bfictt to Auckland We recognise in you its defender, and the foremost in our midst in nghtihg for its rights, and our de-ire is to honor the man who tlm 1 fightK for US. Our hope is that ryou will continue to work for ud, arid be the menm yet (whatever tho result of next session may he) of gaining <md securing for Auckland province those privelegi's and that justice whlih it is r'trhtly entitled to, and which has bsen so long withheld. HoDtiif? that Heaven's best blessing may rest ujjon yon, und that success may ciown your efforts, we welcom* you back to Auckland.—On behalf of the Newmarket residents, John angub.

Sir George, in reply, paid: I heartily thank you for the address. You must recollect, however, that it is to all tbo3e representa tives who asssistcd me that you are also in debted, and that your thanks are due to-day. You may rely upon it we will continue t» do our best for you. (Sir George, looking up at the inscription on the archway, "New market bids thee Welcome," and at the marks of pleasure on the faces of those about, was apparently taken by surprise), he added : I heartily thank you for all you have done, and for your kind welcome this day. This was received by loud and hearty cheerg.

The procession then drove rapidly into Auckland by way of Kyber Pass, Kymonds etreet, and Upper Queen-street. From the platform and triumphal arch at the foot of the latter the crowd extended a considerable dis tance up the street on both sides. Order was preserved by a detachment; of police under Inspector Eroham, and sergeant- Major Pardy. When the carriage occupied by Sir George came np it was greeted- with loud cheers. Upon stepping out his Honor was received by the Mayor and cordially welcomed back by other gentlemen who had not been to Onehunga. The spectators, numbering some thousands, took up a position in front of the platform, towards the lower part of Queen-street. Mr Robert Graham, advancing, said: I havo the honor to present you with this address Sir George :—

To hh Hr-NOR Sin Geouoh Grey, Kntoht Com MA.NDEII OF THE Most HOXOIUBLH OIU>ER ■>!" an p. Bath, Kurt* iiisTjixi>Ei>T of this X'ro. VIKCF OF AUCKLAND.

The people of Auckland desire to welcmo your Honor upon your return to this province, f'nrt to ex press their lv arty i.pi>reeiatH>n of the patriotic and unflinching < fforts made by yourself and those mem bers of tho As-embly representing this provlnco who, under your leadeiship, huccessfi'lly maintained the right of the people to dccWe on the merits of ihe changes proposed to be made ia the Constitution of New Zealand. Thoy assure your U>nor that they have watched with the deepest interest the arduous struggle carried on by yourself and ihe party led by you in the Colonial Assembly, and that tiiev have bailed with the liveliest satisfaction the substantial triumph achieved by you in the cause of Constitu tional freedom, and tho right 3 of the people of this colony. Sign6d ty direction of tho Executive Committe, Koßßit/r Gbaham, Chairman.

His Honor, on advancing to the front of the platform, was again reccied with enthu siastic cheering. He said : Mr Graham and gentlemen. I thank you most heartily for the welcome you have accorded to myself and the friends who so nobly aided me during the last session of the Assembly. I come from travelling through some of the most beauti ful parts of New Zealand, but I have seen nothing so beautiful as the scene which I have this morning witnessed in driving along from Onehunga to Auckland. The pleasure afforded me by that view has been greatly enhanced by the cordial reception which you have given myself and friends. The right we have been contending for is that if the present federation is to be broken up, the people shall have power to determine what form of Government they shall live tinder in the future. (Loud cheers.) That i 3 the law of the Empire. If the existing Constitution is broken up, each province shall have the right to decide for itself what federation it shall go into. The matter is now in your own hands, and in determining it I can assure you that you will receive the assistance of the best men in the colony. (Loud cheering.) You must con sider the question carefully and deliberately. I will keep you no longer upon this holiday, but must again thank you for the welcome which you have given myself and friends. (Loud cheers.) Mr Graham called for three cheers for Sir George Grey which were responded to by thousands of stentorian lungs with waving of hats.

A voice : " Three cheers for Mr Swanson." This call elicited a general response and loud calls for Mr Swanson, who, upon coming forward, said all his fight had simply been that the people should have the opportunity of deciding the form of Government for them selves, and that had been secured to them. (Loud cheers). The party then re-entered the carriages and drove down Queen-street. A departure from the original programme occurred here, which constituted the only mistake in the whole of the successful proceedings. The The streets were lined thickly all along, but especially towards the platform, and it was intended to have allowed the whole mass to join in the procession, but, under the impression that the platform proceedings terminated the day's programme. The fore most carriage drove rapidly on, and was followed by the others, leaving the crowd far behind. When near Wyndham-street the mistake was rectified, and a slower pace, maintained, but by that time the bulk of the people were up beyond Victoria street.

As the carriages proceeded up Shortland Cres cent at a slower pace a very large crowd had again attached itself. On reaching the Pro vincial Government Buildings Sir George Grey proceeded to" .the balcony, accompanied by the members united in the reception and by mem bers of the Reception Committee, and ad dressed the crowd, again thanking them, and bade them good bye. Three hearty cheers were then given for Sir George Grey, who called for three cheers for the Queen, which were cordially given.. "Three cheers for Separation" were called for and given with vigour.and enthusiasm, which were followed by "Three cheers for the Evening Star." Thereafter the crowds began to disperse, betaking themselves to tho various attractions of the holiday. ACCIDENTS. The whole of the prqeeedings were under the conduct of Mr F. G. Ewingten hon. secretary, who as marshal, deserves great credit for the excellence of the arrangements. Notwithstanding the large crowd and the number of horses and carriages no accidents worthy of note occurred. When in New market, opposite Cunningham's Hotel, the pole of Mr Cosgrave's carriage broke, but no injury was caused to the occu pants. At the platform also an old lady, Mrs Bickley, whose patriotism caused her to press rather too far forward, had a portion of her petticoats tramped off by the carriage horses, but fortunately suffered no personal injury, so that really nothing occur red to mar the general satisfaction with the days proceedings.

THE ROYAL HOLIDAY.

November is usually regarded as a dreary month in many countries, especially in England and the sister isles. A French novelist commenced a work of fiction some what in this fashion : "In the dark month of November, when the English begin to commit suicide, &c,".and at home November is as dreary as the most melancholy repre sentations of Ossian; but here in New Zealand the month wears a totally different aspect. November is the eleventh month of the year, and the artists who fancifully represented every month as a figure draped with natural emblems, drew November in a garment of changeable green, with black upon the head pnd bunches of turnips in his right hand. The poets also, have been peculiarly bnppy in their seasonable descrip tions Pope, in his translation of Homer, has delineated this month, but no poet, not even Thomson, was happier than Burns in one line "when drear November's surly blast, laid fields and mountains bare," and where he speaks of the kice travelling homeward through the mire. Kovember here mi^ht be drawn as a colonial youth, with flowers in his coat, and a white hat on his head. Whatever the characteristics of the month in Auckland, neither on account of the Lord Mayor's show, nor in memory of Dick Whittington is the day serenely kept, but because it is the birthday of hiR Royal. Highness the Prince of Wales. Colonial pepple are especially attachad to holidays, but this ninth day of November, is perhaps the great holiday of the year, and for more reasons than the natal day of the Prince, has this day been more generally kept, as the Evening Stak of this evening indicates. Albert Edward, Prince of Wales, the Queen's eldest son, completes his thirty fourth year to-day, having been born on the ninth of November, 1841, at Buckingham Palace. The Prince was nursed at Claremont, in the village of Esher, some four miles from Hampton Court Palace, was educated partly by Rev. Dr. Birch, trav el icd in the East with Dean Stanley, the illus trious preacher, son of the lute Bishop of Nor wich married tho Princess Alexandra, the the 'fair maid of Denmark, on the 10th March, 15(53, and since that period he has livei a'life of observation, travel and joyous ness, after tho manner of a prince. He is now' the father of a family, and has a stout ande jolly appearance, while the princes 3, though still beautiful, has a careworn look. The title of Prince of Wales, as most of our readers know, is borne by the first-born sno of the reigning monarch of Great Britain. The first prince on whom the title was beß -towed was the son of Edward the First, who was born in Caernarvon Castle which was built by Edward. Some writers how ever doubt whether the first Prince of Wales could havo been born there because of the hhtxpeless and low formation of the rooms, and think that the first prince >yas born in the town in some temporary building erected for the temporary reception of the royal household until the completion of the castle. In 1343, Edward the Black Prince inherited the title not unworthily, and from that period until the present, the title has been bestowed on the King's or Queen's oldest son. The present Prince of Wales enjoys an annuity of £40,000, settled on him by 2G Viet. Cap. 1, also the revenues of the ' 1 itchy of Cornwall, which amounted, pre viously to the year 1840, to between £11,000, and £1(3,000, and since that period they have arisen to £50,000. An income of £11,000 was settled on the. Princess of Wales by Par liament, and in the event of her widow hood to ba raised to £30,000. The reign of Queen Victoria has been long and prosperous, and in no period of the world's history have tho arts, sciences, literature, and discoveries of all kinds made greater progress. Indication of the better day are everywhere apparent ; the day when wars shall be less frequent and the triumph of peace and industrymore strikingly exemplified along the stream of time. Macaulay, the 1 historian, truely wrote : "In Queen Vic toria, her subjects have found a wiser, gentler, happier Elizabeth." Another writer, truth fully remarks. "Nofomer monarch has so thoroughly comprehended the great, fact that the powers of the crown are held in trust for the people, and are the means not the end of government." It must be extremely gratifying to her Majests the Queen, to feel that her subjects in these colonies are loyal to the heart to wards her and ever desirous of shewing the same feeling of regard to the members of the Royal House uniting with Tennison in say ing :

" She wrought her people lasting good."

" Her court was pure, her life serene ; God save her peace her land reposed, A thousand claims to reverence closed In htr as mother, wife and queen ; And statesmen at her council met Who knew the seasons when to take Occasions by the hind, and make The bounds of freedom wider yet."

THE VOLUNTEERS.

The Royal Artillery, numbering 40 men and officers marched to Barrack Hill, under command of Captain J. H. Burns, with a full band, and at 9 o'clock fired the Royal salute, after which the band played " God bless the Prince of Wales." About 50 men, women and children were present, who gave three cheers for the Queen, the lloyal family, and the Prince and Princess of Wales. The men then fell in and marched through the city, the band playiDg a number of lively aira.

Mr M. M. Taylor, Secretary.

The New Zealand Agricultural^Sodety held their usual annual show on the race-course, Ellerslie, to-day. Complaint was very naturally made that no effort had been put forth to enlist the sympathies of the public, and even intending exhibitors were unaware in many instances of the time of closing entries. The same complaint was made last year by all the Press, but the Society seem to treat all suggestions with indifference. But for the gratuitous notices of the Tress, and the strong inducements held out by Mr Robert Graham the proprietor of the Ellerslie gardens, the at tendance at the show to-day would in all probability have been very meagre. So it was a very large number combined their atten dance at the sports with a walk through the show. The committee might fairly, we think be expected to contribute something towards the cost giving wide publicity to EUerslie proceedings insured by Mr Graham. Ellerslie at mid-day, presented a lively and busy scene, by twelve o'clock there were at least three thousand people on the ground among whom were a large number of the fair sex. The hand of the Royal Artillery under the con ductorship of the band master Hunter, took their positiou at the grand stand, and played "The Sea is England's .glory," several waltzes and selections. The entries generally were much more numerous than last year. On the thoroughbred class there was much greater variety of sires among the entires. The only two exhibits last year were both by Dainty Ariel. To-day each of the five entires were by different sires—namely, Towton, Flat catcher, Gownsman, Potentate, and Dainty Ariel. We were suprised to notice only one mare in Section 2 under three year 3 old, and the brood mares were fewer in number than last year, when it will be remembered Creeping Jenny was exhibited unsuccessfully asaihst Moombeam, first, and Atalanta second. The colts or fillies were more numerous 'by three entries from last year. In the heavy-draugt class the entries were four against three last year, but the brood mares were fewer. The other exhibits of horses were very good, but nob superior to those of last year. The Stock Importation Company exhibited Young Performer, which gained a first prize among the roadsters, and was universally admired as he was led to and fro in the enclosure. Tbe attle were equally creditable and were gene rally commended, also the sheep of the Leices ter and Lincoln classes. One of the judges in this department was Mr. Tanner, from Napier, who exemplified great care and judgment in the awards. The Bhow of swine was limited, but there were some good specimens of the Berkshire breed. There was a splendid show of poultry; especi ally noticeable were the Dorkings of Mr J. Wallace, Mr S. Morrin, [and Mr W. Wilson. In pigeons there were several pens exhibited by Mr J. Craig, but not in cluded in the catalogue, and not intended for competition. They, however, received honourable mention, and deservedly so, par ticularly the pair of tumblers and pair of fantails.

The local industries commanded much at tention, especially the exhibitions of Messrs Cousins & Atkins, the saddlery of Wiseman and Webster, six churns by Mr McCrae, a a variety of fancy soap 3by Allender, sewing machines by Mr. Dennes, being worked by Mrs. Dennes in the presence of a number of ladies and gentlemen. We noticed also choice samples of colonial wines of excellent flavour by Mr. Wendell, of Grey-street. A great variety of local manufacture agricultural implements, ploughs, and machines of every possible description were exhibited ; especially noticeable were the implements of Messrs. E. Porter and Co. and Messrs T. and S. Morrin.
