Suggestions have been received from the Auckland Artillery Company for increasing the efficiency of Volunteers. Tbe proposals embrace a memorial asking the Defence Minister to give three Armstrong guns to each company, thereby forming each corps as a semi battery, all companies to wear the same uniform, the senior Captains of Artil lery in tbe iNorth and South Islands to bear the title of Major, and special prizes at tbe annual prize-firing to be awarded to gunnery. The proposals have been favourably received by the .Napier Artillery. The Races. The Jockey Club Races come off on the 18th and 19th instants, and will be run at Pakowhai owing to the course at Meanee being unfit for use through floods depositing an immense quantity of sand. Much dis satisfaction is expressed at the supineness of the Club in not putting the course in order, and at the want of spirit in putting forth such a poor programme. The Club was supposed to be defunct long ago, but started into life on the formation of a new Club, which retired from the field when the pro gramme of the forthcoming races was adver tised.
