THE PAKURANGA HUNT.

"Bttkwood," Mr. and Mrs. T. Morrin'n beautiful seat at Remuera, wa*, on Saturday, the scene of a very gay rdimion, on the occasion of the meet of the Pakuranga hounds. Open house was the order of the day. Mrs. Morrin dispensing the hospitalities of the mansion right royally. Among the guests at the luncheon were most of the leading aris tocracy of Auckland. The number could not have been less than 200; while of the general public assembled to see the fun there were more than double that number. The words of the old song,

"A southerly wind and a cloudy sky, Proclaim a hunting morning." May not perhaps be applicable to New Zealand hunting, but the southerly breeze was there, although the sky was beauti fully clear. The hounds threw off in a pad dock close to Ellerslie Heuse, where Leonard started tbe drag on foot in the direction of St. John's College. Twenty minutes law was allowed and then the field went off in pursuit, and the line of country being well chosen, an excellent run to the College walls ensued. Here a halt was called and a second drag was laid back over a different route. Another good rally followed, the jumping this being varied by some awkward contretemps which howevei were not serious enough to mar the pleasure of the day. The mo^t serious accident was that which occurred to Mr Calvert, the well known "Vet." who was riding Mr. McCosh Clark's aged horse Doctor, lately purchased from Mr. T. Morrin, and entered for the Handicap Burble Race at the Club's ap proaching meeting. The rider and horse came to grief in a ditch which had not been observed on the far side of a wall. The rider was only Bhaken, but the.horse broke its back and had to be destroyed to put it out of its misery.

AMUSEMENTS.

"THE OcTOEOON."

The theatre on Saturd&y eveni- g was crowded with visitors desirous of witnessing the interesting plaj entitled '"The Octoroon," a tematioiul drema in five acts. This play is not new to the Anckiacd public, but we believe it has never been presented at the Prince of "Wales Theatre with such completeness of cast and r haiacter. The heroine of the pitce- Zoe— was asfigmcl to Miss Carrie George, who delineated the central figure with all the care and finish of which she is capable- in truth, it was a perfect picture in it' way. Bflr Lawrence, also, was extremely happy in his portrait of s-alem t cudiier. Mr Charles Searle repieeented Jacob in a style which, we should say was as near the idtal of the writer as possible though somewhat different to representations by other and more ambitious players. Mr Searle possesses tbe pleasing knack and dtxteiity of throwing seme new life into every character he undertakes to depict Mr J. Sweeney is gradually ccmirg out, and wiU yet see brighier days—or rather nights—on the st»gt in the glow of his art, Bis George Peyton was ver good. Mr Collier perform t d his i art as the Indian with his nsual ability, and as Point-Dexter was mucb praised. Jar Sam Poole was in his eiement as Uncl- Pete, and. bursting *ith that ever-bubbling wit which is his went, and In which he excels, or, as a spectatoi said—

""Whetherln 'Octoroon' or 'School,' Wit's the rule, with Sammy Poole." Little Miss Milly Collier rendered Paul with much credit. W ith< uc enumerating every individual actoi, we may summarise the whole matter by asserting our conviction that tn.e " Octoronn1' was never better per formed in this city : that each actor played his or her part with marked succe-s, and all was satisfactoiy; while Mr Thornton's sctnery was creditable and tht orchestra was in harmony with the piece. This even ing the well-knewn drama ff i he 'Lancashire L»ss' Trill be brought forward, in which Mr Lawrence wiil appear as tbe inimitable Johnston ; Mfcs Carr? Georg*-, as EuthKirby; and Mis Lizzie Morgan, &t Kate Garatone. This drama, illustrative of life in the manufacturing districts of England, will be m tt acceptable to* a large number of colonists as picture. of things that were. SATURDAY NIGHT ENTERTAINMENT. The Saturday evening entertainment at the Young Men's rooms was well attended on Saturday last; the room was completely crowded. Mr David Godie, M.P.C., occupied th« chair, and introduced the busi ness before the meeting, which, consisted of several songs, recititions, and the "Spelling Bee." The proceedings were frequently interrupted by shouts ■and noises of approbation or disapprobation. After the general hum of voices had subsided, it was announced that the successful competitors were Mr Bell and Mr Mclver.

PRESBYTERIAN CEMETERY.

The following appeal in reference to the contemplated improvement of the Presby terian Cemetery, was yesterday distributed in the pews of the three Presbyterian Churches— St Andrew's, St James, and the Newton Kirk :— To THE PBESBYTERIiLNS OF AtrCKLAVD. It is almost needless to inform you that the present condition of the Presbyterian Ceme.ery is discreditable. It stands alone among ounlocai bury ing grounds in the distinction of neglect and dilapida tion. Its ruined fence, its unformed paths, its graves ■ and unoccupied portions overrun with gorse and other neglected vegetation, all combine to convey the impression that of all sections of the community the Presbyterians must be the least under thfc in fluence of affectionate remembrance of departed relatives. And yet we are confident that such im pression is erroneous; that they are as warmhearted and as faithful as any to the memory of beloved mends who have left this vale of tears, and though neglected and desolate appears the ground in which the earthy remains are slumbering, a halo of affec- Donate memory invests every mound withia that enclosure. Not this alone, but we believe there is not one whose affections are linked by ties of memory to that graveyard but iegrets its aspect and condition of neglect, and will hail with satisfaction the intention by concerted effort, of placing it in a state of repair, and of making it in some sort expressive of the respect and kindness entertained by survivors to the memory of departed friends. Such an effort is now intended, a few persons have come TOgetherard formed themselveß into a committee to be increased by the addition of such other persons as may desire to aid in the work ; and it is their desire to make an appeal to all Presbyterians resident in the district to aid them by their contributions, so that by one vigorors and united effort the Cemetery may be Placed in such condition, that by ordinary ctre and ™« expenditure, it may be thereafter preserved in a state creditable to the numerous and influential communion to which it belongs. It is proposed first to erect a substamial and per cent fence of atone »nd mortar to c*»r the ground « O wn ♦gßrMf et, Cl Wlth Which P<»Uons «e\ov,r Son?, 1.

Later from Fiji.

By the arrival of the Ocean Wave from Levuka to-day, we have Fiji papers to the Bth Sfptember. Mr FJynn, formerly in Mr McCoimick's office, Auckland, died in Levuka of typhoid fever, on the 26th —A handsome Good Templars Hall has been opened in Levuka.—A large sugar mill has been opened at Suva Suva Bay, amid re joicirjgs.—His Excellency the Governor has delivered an important speech, disclosing hie policy. He has called upon the planters to say whether Levuka is the most suitable place for the capital. — The Times regrets the departure of Mr and Mrs Surplice. The colony was proclaimed on September Ist and the meeting at which his Excellency enunciated his policy took place on the 2nd. Tbe Governor said the Executive Council would be a nominated one, but he asked the planters to write on slips of paper four names of gentlemen whom they were desirous of having chosen, and he would give their recommendations great weight.- Consider able uneasiness was felt at the non-arrival of the : Star of the South.— Maize crops look well and considerable shipments to Auckland are expected.

Stranding of the Hawaiian Schooner Dauntless.

Wje regret (says the Fiji Argus, of August 28) 'hat this beautiful schooner, commanded and owned by Captain Berrill, was stranded on the outer reef, north of the Island of Malabu, on the night of Friday last. This vet-sel, which flies the Hawaiian flag, ha* for the last twelve months been in the trade between Fiji and Auckland, and left Auckland with a full cargo of lum ber and merchandise for Messrs Owen and Graham, of Auckland, that firm having also an establishment at Tongatabu. She made the run to the Friendly Islands in seven days, where, having discharged the lumber and other articles, she took- in twenty-five rons of copra and started for this port. On Friday she was well in sight of Ovalau, and on the evening of that day was nerr Agau, steering her course with a fair although light breeze. At midnight, to the great surprise of all on board, she took the ground, a strong westerly current having evidently carried her many milesjjto leeward. The vessel having gone on the reef at flood tide was carried considerably on to its crown, 'here beine little surf, without great damage Capt. Berrili endeavoured to get her off, but fruitlessly and unfortunately lost his only boat in endeavouring to carry out a kedge anchoi, the weight of which burst and sunk ifc. A cutter passed on . vunday, and— strange to say—did not go near the wrecked vessel By this boat news was conveyed to Levuka of the disaster. His Excellency the Governor on hearing that a vessel was on the reef, promptly dispatched Lieut. KnoUys, A.D.C., to make enquiries, and with offers of assistance. By tke Government boat Capt. Berrili was enabled to reach Levuka on Mon day evening. He at once reported -what had ocenrred to Mr Murray, the Consul for Hawaii* With great consideration, Capt. Stevens, of H.M.S. Barracouta, despatched a steam pinnace in charge of Lieutenant R. Wonham to the wreck, and on Monday after noon the Bteamer, Pride of Viti, having on board Capt. Berrill, Mr Murray, Lieut. Maxwell, and Mr Childs, carpenter of H.M. sbip.-with Capt. Hedstrom, proceeded to the wreck for the purpose of holding a survey. A protest having been entered, the cargo on board was sold by auction for the benefit of all concerned on Wednesday last. [The Dauntless had not been got off the reef when the Ocean Wave left.]

Twenty-five sailo-B and an officer were dispatched eaily on Wednesday morning to the Outer reef to assist in discharging the cargo of the Dauntless, with a view of endeavouring to save the vessel if possible. This action on the part of Captain Stevens ii most praiseworthy, and displays a desire to do do a good turn to another in the othodox sailor fashion. Tie steamer Pride of Viti took out some thirty getlemen to the scene of the wreck on Tuesday lust, but just when the steamer had arrived within two miles of her destination it was impossible to pro ceed in consequence'of the reef. About six pertons were accommodated in the dingy, and pushed off to tbe Dauntless, where they remained about three hours, the rest of the passengers being accorded the privilege of looking on from the distance abovemen tioned. The party returned at 2 a.m on Wednesday, havmg indulged in sea-sickness, and being as ignorant of the state of the vessel as when they left the wharf The cargo of the Dauntless was sold at Mr Cudlip's mart, and a good deal of competition took p ace, and, taking into consideration the risk that was incurred in purchasing, we consider tho things fetched really $ The Dauntless was insured for £1000 in the National, and half re-insured in the South British. MURDER AT APIA. By the arrival of the schooner Black Hawk this morning from a trading cruise, we learn from her captain that St. John Keeae (late an hotelkeeper of this town) was murdered at Apia in the middle of June last, and that his wife was wounded "at trie same time. The particulars are meagre. A native insisted upon entering the house of Mr. Reese, and upon deseased disputing the way,, the native shot him, inflicting such wounds as caused death. The American mission ary residing at Apia declares it to be a most unprovoked murder. The matter has been officially reported at headquarters.

The cutter Blonde, built at Mercury Bay by Mr. W. White, arrived in harbour this morning. She is a smart little craft of about twenty tons, and is a credit to her builder. - The schooner Mary Webster arrived to day from Lyttelton with a cargo of potatoes, grain, Ac.

Painful Accident.

This morning a lad named Jno. Wilkinson met with a nasty accident on board the Elsinore, which was very Dearly depriving him of the use of his right hand. The schooner is lying alongside the Flechero at the new we:-tern T. and Wilkin son was engaged assisting in the work of sending up baskets of manga nese from the hol<3 of the schooner to the ship. While attaching the hook of the "fa'l" to the basket the word was given to the men above to haul and they began to haul before he*1 had got bis hand clear. The consequence was his fii'gers were crushed between the hook and the landie of the basket. The fcr-ps were taken clean iff Iwo of bia fingers and two cb*r fingers were badly mangled. The lad bore the pain slo:c ---ally. He was lifted on board the Flechero and laid down in the cabin where Captain Carlyon, who is well-known as being skilful at surgery, dressed the wound with great care and bestowed every possible attention upon the sufferer. The boy fainted from the pain while the wound was being examined, but is now doing well.

CITY COUNCIL.—This Day.

The nsnal fortnightly meeting of members of the City Council was held this aftetnoon. Present: His Worship the Mayor (in the chair), Councillors Daldy, Holdship, Hurst, Buchanan, Isaacs, and Brett. SHOOTING IN THK CITY. A letter from Captain Harrison was read asking permission to shoot, as he was troubled with cats, rats, and rabbits, and at present not permitted to shoot them on his own laDd, as the bye-law did not permit the use of firearms. Councillor Hurst suggested the use of poison. Councillor Holdship proposed, and Coun cillor seconded, " That the mat ter be referred to the Inspector of JNuisances to report thereon." CITY INDEBTEDNESS. The Finance Committee submitted a statement of the city indebtedness, which showed that (including waterworks) the city is now liable for £140,000 on loan, as follows :—Loan raised in December, 1871, £20,000 for Market, drainage, &c, at 6 per cent., on security of a special annual recur ring rate of 6d in the £ on city rateable pro perty. The debentures are payable on the 10th January, 1887, and the accumulated sinking fund now amounts to £5,200. The present receipts will pay off the loan in 1883. The second lean was that of October, 1874. £50,000 was authorised for city improve ments on security of the rentals of city en dowments, which dow amount to £2,191 per annum. Of the total authorised, £20 000 have been raised, which yielded only £18,000 nett. This loan is to be paid off by a 2 per cent, sinking fund, in from five to fifty years, the first drawing to take place in 1880. Of the amount raised £4.500 remains unex pended, and there is still unraised £30,000. The third loan is for waterworks £100,000, dated October, 1874. The nett amount realized was £98,195 6s 6d. The security for the loan is a special rate not exceeding Is 3d in the £ on city rateable property ; also, a water rate, not exceeding 7 per centf on assessment; and additional water supply It is to be paid off £25,000 in 20 years, £25,000 in 30 years, £25,000 in 40 years, £25,000 in 50 years. FINANCE COMMITTEE. A report of Finance Committe as to further loans was read and commented upon, as to the expediency of borrowing a loan of LIO.OOO. His Worship the Mayor considered they would be right in borrowing LIO.OOO, and he would move the adoption of the report. Councillor Daldy spoke at length on the subject, and said that the Act authorised them to borrow £50,000, they had already borrowed £2C,000, and he would second the report especially that part which related to the LIO.OOO debentures. The motion was carried. The Mayor moved—" That Mr John Buchanan be paid I 50, as compensation for the losses he suffered in the forfeiture of a piece of land." Councillor Isaacs seconded, as he thought Mr Buchanan was entitled to compensation. Councillor Holdship objected to giving of LSO ; he thought it best to give back the' land as it was. He should like to move about it. The Town Clerk then went into the par ticulars of the matter, from which it appeared that Mr. Buchanan did not build upon the land bo soon as he ought to have dome, and consequently forfeited certain right. He subsequently sold one of the allotments to a Mr. Parker, which he waa net in a position to 1, do.

Councillor Buchanan thought the Council hed better let the land go It was finally resolved to give the LSO. TENDERS FOR WATERING THE STREETS. The following tenders were received for watering Queen-street :- George WiJson, L 5 a month to the City Council, and get his remuneration from the public ; John Mul lally, 7a 6d a day ; John Stewart, 11s a day ; George McCaslio, pay to Council 6d a day, and trust to the public; Joseph Craig, find three water carts and men, at 14^ per day. It was resolved that George Wilson's tender be accepted, to be under the control of the Superintendent. WATERWORKS. The report of < be Kngineer on the progress of <he \s»te<works was read, in which Mr. rriDgti'ii asked for provision for resting purposes in the Market-houses which was left over. BREAKWATER KOAD. After a good deal of discussion on the state of the road, Councillor Daldy moved : "That the expense connected with the making and keeping of the Breakwater-road in good repair, be borne by the City Council and Harbour Board respectively." It was resolved " That until the Break water road be properly defined the road be kept in order jointly by the City Council and Harbour Board." Carried. NEW SPECIAL RATE. His Worship the Mayor then proposed " that a water rate of One Shilling in the pound be struck." Councillor Daldy would second the motion as a matter of necessity. Councillor Holdship objected on Jcertain grounds, and could not support the motion. He was of opinion that the various rates should be knocked into one ; they should all fall due on the same day so as to prevent confusion. Such a course would be more satisfactory to the people. Messrs Isaacs, Cosgrave, and Brett also spoke against it. The subject was deferred till a special meeting to-morrow.
