THE MELBOURNE CUP.

A cablegram gives us the latest betting on the Melbourne Cup as follows:— .7 to 1 against Feu D'Artifice, •; 8 to! against Irish Stew, 8 to 1 against "Vale-da. II to.l against Timothy (taken freely). From this it appears that the post of honor as first favourite has been wrested from the wretch ediy named Rish Stew.rby Feu D'Artifice, a horse that was last telegraphed as standing at 100 _Ou. It may be interesting to our readers tci Know what public performances this animal has on rccordT to entitle liiin to such a distinguished position, which for the time being, whether he wins the race or not, adds about £1000 to his value. Feu d'Artifice is a 5 year old bay mare, by Fireworks, (Sire of Goldsborough and Room Hood) out of Victoria. She belongs to Mr. H. Power, a Victorian gentleman, and her weight in the Cup is 7 stone 5 lbs. She only ran twice as a three year old, winning once, namely, the October Handicap, 1 mile, at Kensington Races. As a four year old, she was 3rd, carrying 7st, in a Handicap Flat Race, 1} miles, won by Sultan 7 stone 11 lbs., with Southern Cross 6 stone 6 lbs. 2nd. At the V.R.C. Spring with 75t.,0 lbs., she was third in the Hotham Handicap U miles and a ditaneo, won by Kincrachnie, 6 St. i IDS., Southern Cross 2nd, with 7 st. 8 lbs. She ran nowhere in the Railway Stakes at the same meeting. At the V.R.C. Autumn Meeting, Feu d'Artifice 0 st. 11 lbs., ran a dead heat for 2nd in the Australian Cup, with Imperial Bst. 31b. She then, with 7st. Olbs, was third in the Three aud Four year old Handicap Leger Course, won by Southern Cross Bst. 91bs., with Loquacity 7st„ 2nd. At Kyneton she ran no where in two races. This closed her career last season, and wo cannot call to mind any occasion on which she has been brought out lately. On the face of her public form, the new tavonto has very little to recommend her, but we know that it does not do to depend entirely on past performances. On her running m the 3 and 4 year old Handicap above mentioned, she is held safe by Southern Cross, who meets her in the Cup at a difference of lolbs or with a penalty of only lib, for the easy beating he gave hor on that occasion. . _. , The betting on the Derby is now entirely con fined to Newniinster and Tocal, who are equal favourites at sto 1 each. Ten to one is ottered against any others. Newminster's owner is said to be in such a state of anxiety about the safety of his animal, that he is said to sleep beside him with a loaded revolver, and to have a cordon ot bull dogs round the stab!1. For the Marybyrnong i\a' tho great 2 year old race of Victoria, Rapidity is firsttavotu-iteat 6 to 1, while 10 to 1 is laid against Expectation. Timothy isa candidate which on public form is much more worthy of support than Feu D'Arti fice. His owner is Mr E. de Mestre, a gentle man who is famous on the Australian turf as the owner of many a great favorite for tho big events. Timothy is a 1-year old colt by Tim Whifiler (Sydney) out of Lady, and his weight is 7st. As a 2-year old he ran twice, but was not placed on either occasion. As a 3-year old, he appeared in public nine times, winning four races, and being placed in two others] His wins were in the Railway Plate at. Bathurst, 1} mile, in which with Bst. up, he defeated Plunger 9st. 81b3., and Ludlow Bst. ; the Maiden Plate at the same meeliis the Rous Handicap, U mile, at the A.J.C. Autumn meet ing, in which he carried 7st., and ran a\-< ay from Clifton Bst. Slbs., and Valetta colt Bst. lOlbs. He finished his 3-year old career by winning the Open Handicap, li mile, at the Randwick Racing Club meeting. In this he carried 7st. 121b5., and beat Valetta colt 9st., and Guelder Rose 7st,. besides others, accomplishing the distance in tho respectable time of 2min. 1-lsec. This makes him at any rate within a few pounds of Valetta colt, and as the latter horse and Valentia ran a dead heat at even weights only a few weeks back, a direct line can be got. In the Melbourne Cup Timothy has 71bs. the best of the weights, as compared with Valentia, which must make it a very near tiring between them. The training reports speak very highly of Valentia, and as this horse belongs to such a straightforward sportsman as the Governor of New South Wales, his backers may depend upon a good run for their mono v. Whatever, in our opinion, beats Valentia will win the Melbourne Cup.

LARRIKINS.

(To tho Editor of the Evening Star). Please Sir,— May I speak. I want to say that I am pleased to find that all the rowdies do not live in Pdnsonbv. I still, however, incline to the b_ief that a very large proportion of cowardly manhood finds its abiding place there, but I am glad to know that the infant rowdy flourishes elsewhere. The maimer and poisoner, I see by rewards offered in the public papers, are a body of fiends scattered far and near, but the young rowdy is like scoria ash en a windy day, all over the place. A narrow-minded person, fond of peace and quietness, would say, fi put the thing down at all risks." This, how ever, is a very selfish view of the case. Put rowdyism down, and convert all the drunkards. What in the world would the lawyers do ? See how energetically they look up all the scamps that fatten upon lying, for the purpose of over tin-owing the truth. Now, where would they find a local habitation and make a name if all this was put a stop to ? That they will be warmly provided for by-and-by, there is not a shadow of a doubt, but in the mean time they must live. I was thinking of calling on Mr Vogel to get himlto put up some large printed placards on his arrival in London, warning all unprotected women of good character and respectable belongings, against coming to Auckland, under penalty of being worried to death by the before mentioned genius. Absurd! Mrs' Arris looking over my siioulder suggests an application of " cat" to* the backs of the fathers and mothers of these young fry. No doubt this would have the desired effect, but as I said beforo the lawyers must live.—Yours, Sec, Dor Isa.

LAND PURCHASES BY GOVERN MENT OFFICIALS AT TAURANGA.

(To the Editor of the Evening Star.) Sir, —Can you give me any information why the affairs of Tauranga remain so long dormant in the hands of Government ? I shall have a few remarks to make at a future period relative to the doings of some persons who have held situations under Government for some years. Are Government officials, who receive I the public monies for their services, allowed to privately traffic in land, tho pro perty of the natives? This sort of work ill agrees with the professed empty state of their pockets. I could put many queries of the same nature, but I think the above is sufficient now lo shew in what manner affairs are conducted in this unfortunate district of Tauranga. It is not known to me yet whether the authorities mean to cause an enquiry to be made into these land purchases or not. It may be very convenient and profitable for officials to enrich themselves by buying lands from the natives in expectation of making a "rise," the public interest being sacrificed by iliem in tin's, as in many tilings else. I am certain these land .jobberies are entitled to the distinction of an enquiry. If the authorities whose duty it is to search into these matters, require any further information respecting them it will neither cmbarass myself nor those who act with me to afford it. So, Mr Editor, please refer them to Apropos.

CATHOLIC BOYS' SCHOOL, OTA HUHU, EXAMINATION.

ON Thursday last, the 26tli inst., the animal examination of the Catholic boys' school, Otahulm, took place. The following clergymen were present: Very Rev. Father Fynes, V.G. . Rev. Father O'Hara, Rev. Father Paul, Rev. Father McDonald, and Rev. Father Golden. A considerable number of the parents and friends of the pupils attended, all of whom took a warm interest in the proceedings. A good many of the more advanced boys shewed con siderable progress for the year's work, and those present expressed themselves highly pleased at the evidences the children gave of their advancement in the various branches of education. There are 43 pupils on the roll, but the attendance was some what irregular, owing to several of the boys having to work during the planting season. The examination was commenced at half past nine o'clock by the teacher, -Ur Cronin. The first subject was catechism, in which they correctly answered all the questions put to them." The school is divided into four classes. The first class were examined in the following subjects :—Reading, Spel ling, Recitation, Writing Arithmetic, Geo graphy, Book-keeping and Mensurahion. The writing, with one or two exceptions, was very fair. In all the other branches the boys showed real attention, and caref til train ing. The second class were examined in Reading, Spelling and Arithmetic, and con sidering their age, and the time they^lmve been at school, the examination was satis factory enough. The examination taken as a whole was very successful. At the close of the proceedings the Very Rev Father Fynes addressed the pupils and all present, and expressed the pleasure he _ had felt at witnessing the proceedings. It the course of his rem arks, he pointed out the superior advantages of schools of this kind, where religious instruction is blended with secular education, and the two voca tions of man are properly recognized, that which belongs to this world,and to the next. He also expressed his hope that the children would continue to progress and give a still better account of themselves next year.— [Correspondent. ]
