third ° points. The competitor who scores the highest total of points will be awarded the principal prize, namely, £25 in money together with a handsome silver cup adV«"l by Mr Joseph Ellis, of the Exchange V > - A second aggregate prize of £8 and .of £5 will also be given. Besides

total prizes, prizes well worth winning 19 Si be given to the first and second in each c . These prize 3 are arranged on a scale liberality not hitherto approached in Auckland : and we shall see whether the Auckland public appreciate as they should do such unexampled enterprise. The races w ill be advertised in the South and at the Thames, so that our local champions may expect to be opposed by some doughty strangers. The handicapping will be entrusted to Mr King, of the STAB office, w ho has already been successful in giving satisfaction on several ocasions in a similar capacity, and whose name is therefore a guarantee that every competitor will receive fair treatment. Mr Graham has given instructions to his able manager, Mr Brown, to have the gardens and running track put into the very best order. Dressing tents for competitors, refreshment booths, and other conveniences will be erected on the ground, and the arrangements for the public comfort generally will be made as perfect as possible. It will be seen by the advertisement that the entries close on the 23rd October next at the Exchange Hotel. In addition to the racing, there will be tilting-at-the-ring, and other interesting sports.

PARLIAMENTARY.

tFBOM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPON -1 BUNT.)

WELLINGTON

This day,

Garbling Telegrams. There was again a warm discussion this afternoon on the subject of garbling the tele pram in the Cross, so as to make Sir George Grey appear to have stated that he would " assist the people in such a course as that taken by the United States against the mother country." Mr Fitzherbert raised the question, and read from the Auckland Star the telegram as it had been transmitted by the Press agency, in which there was no reference whatever to any hostile action against the mother country. He then quoted the telegram as it appeared in the Cross, which he denounced as a deliberate tamper ing with the Press Agency message, for the express purpose of holding Sir George Grey up to scorn and ridicule, and exhibiting him as a traitor to the Queen. He also read the speech from Hansard, which in no way bore out the construction expressed in the Cross. In his most caustic style, Mr Fitzherbert pro ceeded to denounce as infamous this perversion of the truth, with the express purpose of heap ing contumely on public men, and declared that the sole cause of the abuse of which Sir George Grey had been made the object by the hirelings of the press, was his fearless exposure of public abuses. Mr Luckie replied, and read a telegram from Mr Charles Williamson shewing that the alteration had not been made in the Cross office, but thatthe telegramwas copied by that journal from another little print, which was responsible for the perversion of the text. Sir Donald McLean regretted the frequency of personalities, which he considered were lowering the tone of the House. Mr Kolleston pointed out the difference between press criticism, which every public man might expect, and placiDg into his month words which he never uttered. He agreed with the member for the Hutt that the vilification of Sir George Grey by a section of the press was due to his exposure of abuses in which wealthy people were interested, and especially of the abuses in dealing with native lands.

The discussion was then allowed to drop, and the House went into committee on the Abolition Bill, clause 12, but no progress had been made Tthen the dinner adjournment at 5.30 was announced.

LAST NIGHT.

[Per Press Telegram Agency.]

Mr. Header Wood Secures an Important Concession.

On the House resuming at 7.30, after hal! an-hour's further discussion on clause 12 of the Abolition Bill, it was passed without amendment.

On clause 13 a long discussion ensued as to whether the officers of the Provincial Go verDments of abolished provinces should be placed in the same position as Civil Servants o! the General Government, in respect to pensions, etc. The hon. Treasurer pointed out that by the Civil Service Act, 1866, Provincial cfficers when, taken over by the General Government were placed in the same position as officers of the General Go vernment, so far as their time in computing the amount due as compensation for loss of office was concerned, but that the question of pensions must be dealt with by a separate Act. The hon. member saidjhe would undertake to give the House an opportunity duirng the present session of expressing an opinion as to the question of awarding pensions to Provincial officers. The words in the first line " within one year " were struck out, and in the sixth line after the word "colony," the following words, on the motion of Mr O'Connor, were inserted, " Such sum as he may be entitled to under terms of any agreement entered into previous to 1875, and in default of any such agreement then " After two hours' discus- Bion the clause as above amended was passed. On clause 14, Mr Reid suggested that license fees, &c, and fines for scab in sheep should be paid direct to the Municipality and Road Boards instead of to public account. Mr Wood moved an amendment in the clause giving effect to the above suggestion. The Hon. Treasurer said the Government would accept the amendment. Mr. Harrison protested against license and other feeß being handed over to municipali ties. In Westland the license fees amounted to nearly £10,000 and the municipalities there did not want so large a revenue. It Was much more wanted in out-districts.

An amendment proposed by Mr. Shepherd, of Nelson, that publicans' licenses should be omitted was lost by 40 to 9. Mr. Wood's amendment was then carried on the voices.

A verbal alteration -was made in the third hne of the second paragraph of the clause. The following proviso was added to the clause: "provided all fines and penalties inflicted for breach of by-laws of any road board shall be paid to the road board in which the line has been inflicted." The chairman reported progress at lam. with leave to sit again on Tuesday. The House then adjourned.
