WELLINGTON.

i (Fi * \own Correspondent.) I --:£.;?■-) ' This day. / ■'■ Telegram from Mr. Vogel. // ' It is said that the Jong teJegram received fl? from Mr. Vogel by the last steamer did not Ml contain anything as to the state of his ' i health. f Scramble for the Four Millions. I" The Pod foresees a fierce attack next ses | gion upon all that is left to us of the four \ million Joan, by Canterbury and Otago, each ' of which will wane to sell a railway to the Colonia^ Government. Otago, that from Inverca%ll to Whiten, and Canterbury that from Lyttelton' to Chriatehurch, It says probably when Parliament meets little more than thres millions out of the four will be found available for appropriation. This sum will not suffice to complete the main trunk lines in either island by some hundreds of miles, and the probability of ; the colony being able to borrow any more for along time io come, is very slight. Every nerve should therefore be strained ■ .and every penny devoted to endeavouring to complete, as far as possible, main trunk \ lines and to connect, as far as the means will allow, the various centres of population. \ Certainly, until Christchmch is connected '■ with Invercargill and Wellington with Auck land, not a farthing of the loan should be I devoted to other purposes. We have had enough .of political railway jobs, but the purchase of Lyttelton and. Christchurch line would, under existing circumstances, be the V greatest of all. V Increased Telegraphic Receipts.f** ! From. January Ist. to March 31st of the > present year, 235,364 telegrams were for warded, showing an increase over the cor responding period of the previous, year of 32,224.

pagne Stakes, for which all three entries showed, created much interest owing to its beinjy the first race contested by locally-bred thoroughbreds. The Fanny Fisher (colt) was the favorite from her performance on Mon day, but .Ariel was backed pretty freely in certain quarters, and owing to its being known that he had beaten Paku ranga, who ran thir.d in the Trial Stakes. Ariel is $, laree-framed colt, but had the appearance of wantng time to furnish. Luna is a nice filly on the small scale. She hasWurnished better than Ariel, but the general impression was that there was not enough of her. It was somewhat singular that all three are by the same sire, Dainty Ariel. The question of Supremacy therefore rested entirely with the dams—Una, Fanny Fisher, and Nebula. All three are entered for next year's Leger, and we shall see the difference in their running then. The steeplechase added considerably to the attractiveness of the programme. The course, Which was the same as on the two last occasions, was in excellent order, the winds of the last few days having reduced the mud and mire of Monday to a good consistent holding. The Grand Stand was again extensively patronised, and the bright sun induced the "timid fair" to show in great force. A good many vehicles were on the ground, and there was the usual squadron of horsemen, some of whom looked as if they would have been more comfortable "inside." Sweeps were in great fashion, and almost wholly superseded the betting. .

CHAMPAGNE STAKES.—Of 100 soys., with a sweep of 10 soys. each. Colts, Sst lOlbs; fillies, Bst 71bs. Distance, 6 furlongs.

Betting 6 to 4 bar Fanny Fisher (colt). A good start was effected without any delay at the,, post; Fanny Fisher (colt) taking a iead of about half a length. After going 200 hundred yards Luna began to drop, and at a quarter of a mile was fully 5 lengths behind. The other two went on in the same order till entering the straight. Ariel here tried to come up, but French kept his advantage. At the first dip Munn began riding Ariel, and as French sat still, it looked like an easy win for Walters, but Buckland's colt stuck gallantly to him all the way up, and an exciting finish ending in the favorite winning, with nothing to spare, by quarter of a length. Time, 1 minute and 30 seconds.

Taylor, however, soon remounted, and went in pursuit. He rapidly overhauled his .rival, and in a half mile made np fully 300 yards. The excitement was tremendous as he joined the leader at the distance and the two came in at the last hardies neck, to neck. As Isleman came|up loud were the cries in his favour. Unfortu nately his grand efforts prevented him quite clearing the obstruction. He just touched, losing his advantage thereby. Shamrock won by half-a length.

Autumn Handicap.—Five started. On passing the stand the first time, Belle of the Isles was Ist; The Belle, 2nd; Yatterina, 3rd; and Maori Weed, 4th. Half way round, Yatterina took the Ist place, and the Weed 2nd. It was a splendid race, all the three were together. At the last quarter mile Yatterina came to the front, and won by a length; Maori Weed, second; and. The Belle third, Those who invested on the tips of our sporting contributor " Cathedral," potted the money in every race.

FATAL ACCIDENT.

A man named John Cobine was killed when riding out to the races. He was thrown when near the racecourse. It is said he was racing with two others. Dr. Hooper went up, but found the man was quite dead, and the base of the skull fractured. A large pool of blood lay on the road. The body has just left in a cart for town.

Pasturage Leases.

Mr Harper has given notice of motion in the Provincial Council that it is desirable that resolutions should be considered during the present session with regard to the tenure of pasturage leases, which expire in 1880. The' Lyttelton Times condemns this as undesirable to discuss such a grave question at the close of a session in which there has been a recent change of Government, and because the Government has not yet expres sed any opinion on the matter. Slaughter of Hawks. Encouraged by the premium offered by the Acclimatization Society, people are destroying hawks wholesale. Over 600 have been shot in three weeks.
