TE KOOTI VISITED THE THAMES.

. I saiio Moffatt, " It will, however, pre >,t yr going over the border." " Oh, r ," said he. "When I want \ r go shall go quite as openly as Te •*-ooti d last month to the Thames." Noav, * ask *y was not Te Kooti taken prisoner ) went to the Thames, if it be true iat tire is a reward of £500 for his head ? Jereippears to me to be something rotten j' ? thi " State of Denmark" about these re'^arls of the Native Office. You cannot say t'fiat the notorious rebel Te Kooti is not known ; he must be well-known to hundreds. How, then, is it that the natives of Parawai and Shorthand did not discover him to the police ? T.he Native Office boasts of all those natives l\eing Kupapas, and yet they will not deli' rer up a rebel for whom they will receive £500.

CRICKET THIS DAY.

AUCKLAND V. CARLTON,

The return match between the Auckland and Carlton Cricket Clubs took place to-day in the Domain. The first match was played about a month ago, when the Carlton were victorious. To-day it was evident that both teams meant to do all they could for victory : the Aucklanders had raked up all their best men, while the Carlton had aleo got together a remarkably strong team. The weather was fine, but the ground very hard. Play began about two o'clock.

(From our own Correspondent), This day,

Crops at Oamaru.

On the Balmuden estate, Oemara, the -crops yielded 91 bushels of oats, and 73 of ibarley, to the acre.

(City Reserves v. School Playgrounds

There is likely to be a conflict between the .Provincial Government and city authorities re the reserves of the Normal and Fourth District Schools, built on reserves under con trol of the Corporation. The Education Board requires further ground for extensions and playgrounds, which the Council refuses to give. The Board now threatens to ask the Provincial Council to take the reserves altogether.

The heading of the Chain Hill tunnel will ibe through in about eight weeks. During last ten weeks nearly four chains have been completed, so that in three months it is hoped to see the work finished.

Balclutha Races

The principal event at the Balclutha races to-day was the Publicans' Handicap, 60 soys., distance, 1| miles. It was a capital race up to the last, when Atlas shot ahead of Kath leen (who to all appearance bad the race) and won by two lengths ; Envy, a good third ; Unknown, nowhere.

WELLINGTON.

(From our own Correspondent.) This day. Dearth of News. There is absolutely nothing in the shape of news stirring here lately, and nothing very exciting comes to us over the wires.

Ratepayers' Association. The Ratepayers' Association was recently formed with the object of keeping in check and putting pressure upon the City Council whenever it might be deemed necessary to do so in the public interest; but the association has been content to remain a sort of debating club; none of the members appear to be able to grasp the system of municipal mismanagement and expose and reform the weak points.

Mr. Haughton's Movements

I am told it is all humbug about Charley Haughton resigning and going in for Parlia mentary honors once more. It is just a con tingency, but not an immediate one.

Telegraph Extension.

Mr Lemon, general manager of the tele graph department, is said to be up North busying himself about crossing up some gap in certain lines running through native land.

Wharf Mismanagement

Our wharf is falling into conspicuous dis repair. A broken leg or a fatal accident is likely to happen before something is done.

NAPIER.

[From our own Correspondent.] This day. New Widespread Distress. More than two hundred persons, young .Mid old, are now receiving aid from the v 'elief fund that was subscribed to relieve tj 2 sick and distressed. Provincial Matters. It is understood that the Superintendent will refuse to stand at the next provincial elections. His friend and neighbour is a candidate for the representation of the Super

intendent's old constituency. The Corpora tion has been urged to purchase swamps within the borough. Last year the Provincial Council voted a sum of money for their re clamation, but nothing was done» Sickness comes from the Stamps. The lingering character of sickness pre valent, is attributed to the swamps from which a horrible stench arises.

To-night the Town Council meets to con sider the engineer's scheme for water supply. In the report he says it is proposed to sink two artesian wells three inches in diameter and six feet in height, and in immediate con nection with the latter to erect an elevated tank of the capacity of 43000 gallons, and another tank in the centre of the town at an elevation of 100 feet, which is calculated to give a pressure of 43!b3 to the square inch. The total cost of the water supply will be £5,003. General Rate- A general rate of one shilling in the pound was fixed by the Napier Town Council last night, and is estimated to give a revenue of £2,400.

CHRISTCHURCH.

(Per Preaa Telegram Agency.) This day. Action against the Mayor. H. M. Goodyer, the cabman, who was arrest ad by order of the Mayor some time ago for removing a portion of the first fence around the cabstand, opposite Cobb and Co.'a office, has insirjcted his legal advisers to bring an action for £500 damages against the Mayor for false imprisonment.

The Lyttelton Murderer. Jt is stated tiiat Mercer has altered con siderably in demeanour and habits since he was sentenced to death. Before his trial he used to indulge freely in exercise in the prison yard, but has scarcely taken any now, and is quieter and more subdued in manner than formerly, and partakes but slightly of the food supplied to him.

Archery.—Applications for Mastership

The Christchurch Archery Club will fire a match against Wellington to-day. Forty applications have been received for the appointment of head master, and 54 for head mistress of the East Christchurch district school, many being from Melbourne and Sydney, and from persons possessing very superior attainments.

A new Athletic Club has been formed with a view of encouraging working men. All the prizes will be given in money, instead of being like those given by the present Club, all in plate or jewellery. The Governor's Visit. Arrangements are being made for the Go vernor's visit. It is not known yet whether the reception is to be public or private.

Dearness of Milk.

Great complaints are made of the rise in the price of milk. The Star urges the in stitution of a scheme for bringing in milk from the outlying districts by early trains, so as to destroy the present monopoly.

Shares Sold.—Carpenter's Society- Fifty shares in the N.Z.S. Co. were sold by auction yesterday at 40s each.

A branch of the amalgamation of the Society of Carpenters and Joiners of England was formed last night.

City Toll-bars Threatened

It is rumoured that if the Provincial Council does not make a liberal grant for the city, a prominent member of the City Council will move that a toll-bar be erected on all leading thoroughfares at the entrance to the city.

WELLINGTON.

(Per Press Telegram Agency.) This day. Confusion of the Surveys.

Major Palmer's report on the surveys of the colony are published. The Times cays he has written sufficient to thoroughly alarm the colony. He recommends for the effective control of detail surveys. First: That as soon as practicable the General Government do take charge of all survey operations in the colony, abolishing for this purpose present provincial organisations. Second : That the whole be then placed under the Surveyor- General at Wellington, whose duty it will be to organise and superintend all detail as well as trigonometrical operations. Third : That those of existing staffs who may wish to take service under the new Bystem at pre sent rates of salary, be retained subject to the. approval by the Surveyor-General who may, if he wishes, introduce a test to the exami nation as a condition of their remaining. Fourth : That the existing system of centres and chief surveyors be adhered to for the pre sent, at least (should the abolition of the pro vinces take place, might be desirable to re arrange the areas of district surveys, and perhaps to change the titles of Superin tending officers ) Wool and Horse Sale.

At the wool sale yesterday 34 bales of ewes wool in grease, was sold at Is 2d per lb ; 14 bales lambs wool, at 10|d per lb; 24 bales merino, at ll^d per lb ; a number of other lots went at easy prices. At a sale of light saddle horses the prices ranged from £6 to £7. The Rev Charles Clark.

The Rev Charles Clark closed his third season here, and leaves for Nelson to-morrow en route for Auckland.

NAPIER.

(Per Press Telegram Agency.) This day.

The annual value of rateable property in the town of Napier is £45,000. Two schemes of water supply are now before the Council, one by the artesian wells at a cost of £8000, and another by gravitation at a cost of £20,000.

Mr Ormond, member for Porangahau in the Provincial Council, does not come for ward again. Much sickness prevails still, though on the decline.

Racing Notes.

VALUE OF ENGLISH STAKES.

It might interest many of our sporting readeis to know the amount of added money now given in England. The upward ten dency has been apparent for some time, and the enterprising managers seem to vie with each other to see who can give the most. So great is the competition among the various caterers of flat and cross country meetings, that unless they can see their way to give large sums to be run for, owners of the best horses pass them and go elsewhere. The Grand National Hunt Committee have this year decided to have their meeting at Sun down Park, near Esher, in Surrey, and have added 1,200 so vs. to the Grand International Steeplechase Handicap, which, with a sweep of 30 soys. each, 10 forfeit, will make a valuable prize. This has closed with 90 subscribers ; the distance is 4 miles, which will test the stamina of the horses engaged. The added money to the Liverpool Grand National has been increased to 1,000 soys. This closed with 86 subscribers, and was won by Pathfinder (late Knight) lOst. 81bs., by Knight of St. Patrick, Fisherman's Daughter, and the same sum is added to the Bristol .Royal Steeplechase, 76 subscribers. Most of the horses engaged are aged, which rather proves that steeplechases last a long time. Fewer horses from the flat are entered than formerly, but it includes such horses as Barton, John Billington, Bethnal Green, Khedive, Cranbourne, and Boscobel. All well known on the flat, horses that have commanded very long prices and have won lots of money. Khedive ran as a three-year old ten times, won four, and was placed in each other event. We have his half-brother, Blue Boy, in Canterbury, imported last year by Mr Griffiths ; he is likely to make a very valuable addition to our thoroughbred stock.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN COUNT

LAGRANGE AND HIS TRAINER. There hils been a rupture 'between Count L'agrange and Tom Jennings, his trainei 1. Many will remember the Count as the owner of a number of rare horses (including the celebrated Gladiateur) which Jennings trained for him, until the German war broke out, when the Count remvJ. and M. Lefevre took his piace. Daii.ig tke latter time, which has been a tjhoit but a merry one, the Ijearer3 of the red» white, ami blue have been very fortunate until last year, when his horses have rtiu very unaccountably. The cause of the severt nee is the withdrawal of per centages on. winnings which Jennings has hitherto had. A dozen of the Count's hortes have been sent to Wiliism Arnull's to be trained. These were offered to the Dawsons, who refused them on account of having so many horses under their care, the rest by degrees have been drafted to France, where Jennings was almost idolised, and placed under the care of Jennings, late head lad. In fcne year 1873 M. Lefevre's horses won on the English Turf £25,813, and since Jennings has been connected with the French stable, he has trained such, cracks as Gladiateur, who won the Derby, St. Leger, Two Thousand Grand Prize of Paris 1865 and Ascot -€<up ; Eille de lAir, the Oaks winner, and Vulcan, Blenheim, Trombone, Miss To to, Ecspais, and scores of obhers. I believe last year he had the largest stud of horses in training in England.

VARIOUS ITEMS.

That celebrated horse Prince Charlie has gone to the stud, and is located at Hampton Court. His subscription was soon full. There aeems to have been a heap of correspondence about using a horse that makes a noise as he does ; but many people differ whelher he is really a roarer or nob. At any rate it does not seem to have stopped him much, as he only suffered defeat during his whole career four times, at Epsom, Ascot, Goodwould, and Doncaster, or once at each of these big meeetings. He was named the King of the T.Y.C. and E.M., and has gained a name for himself, which nothing can blemish, and I expect his yearling.? will cause great ex citement and bring heaps of money. The Victorians have engaged Mr Frank Gardiner in the place of Mr Warwick, as judge during the approaching coursing sea son. He is spoken of as one of the youngest but one of the best judges in England ; it is to be hoped he will give as much satisfaction as did Mr Warwick. By the Great Britain, Mr James Ker3s has arrived, to train for Messrs McCulloch, under a two years en gagement. He has been slipper during the last rive years in England, and since the retirement of Tom ltuper, has had no rival in England. Previous to commencing slip ping, he was trainer for Mr Robert Jardine, of the celebrated Scotch kennel.

Cathedral

"THE MEXICAN TIGRESS."

As we anticipated, the Theatre of the Prince of Wales was full of expectant visitors last evening, who fully enjoyed the treat judi ciously provided for them on the occasion of the benefit of Miss Patty Holt and MrPoole. The " Mexican Tigress " was somewhat sen sational in tone and character, as its title would seem to imply. Mis Darrell appeared to much advantage as Satanella Tinkle. Mr Darrell was perfectly at home as Jack Rag get, and Mr Oily Deering represented old Tinkle to the letter and the life. In point of dramatic merit, "Time and the hour" takes precedence. It is a story in three acts, in which a crime is committed, and a good deal of the business of love interwoven. The part of Marion was an able representation by Miss Stepenson. Mr Poole and Mis Patty por trayed the charaters of the Browns with their wonted skill. The intermediate imperson ations by Messrs Holloway, Deering, Aveling and others, werecleverly executed. Miss Mag gie Knight as Lucy Fairfax, was graceful and winning, and in every way adopted for the Lucy she assumed. Mr. Thornton's scenic illustrations were appropriate; and as " Franklin," he was successful. It is rarely that the actor and artist is combined in one person, and in this respect Mr Thornton is found to be a great acquisition to this talented company. The " Green Bushes," founded on the old song of that name, one of the most charming cf modern dramas, will be the drama of to-night.

Death under Remarkable Circum stances- The result of the inquest on the body of Mrs Pohlen was, after a protracted enquiry, contrary to expectation, "Death from natural causes, accelerated by want of medical attendance."
