Avould folloAV his example, or if they would only take ono-fiftli part of the interest he took in the Club, the agricultural and commercial interests would meet on friendly terms oftener than they did. They belioved in Mr Clark as a sterling ..sportsman, whom it Avas a pleasure to have ; ''iiong them. They were glad to sco him so ten in the field, and it damped the sport when x Avas absent. (Cheers). Tho toast avus enthusiastically honoured. Air J. AlcCosh Clark said after tho kind Avay in which his health had been drunk, he could not keep silence Allusion had been made to his being often in tho field. He could say with truth there Avas no sport ho liked bettor than sitting a good horse and joining in the chase, and ho bclioA-ed that moro Avould like it if they would only try it, (Choors). Ho thanked them heartily for thoir kindness in drinking his health. (Ohoors). Mr A. Brock proposed "Tho Ladios." Ho could assuro tho members that the ladios took great intorost in their proceedings, and Avore disappointed at not being asked oftonor to the meets. He hoped next year they Avould bo pro sent more, frequently. Tho toast being didy honored, and "Here's a health to all good lasses" having been sung, Mr Tom Niccol rose to respond. Ho thought it was rather unfair that the proposer and the respondor to the toast, should bo gentlemen from town. Ho Avas quite suro that there Avere plenty of gentlemen in the country Avho had as much experience with the ladies as ho had. (Laughter).

Mr T. Brown proposed, and Joo Roberts re ponded to the toast of the Huntsman and Whips. Air Humnhroys proposed the Press. Without the institution of the Press he thought Hunt Clubs and Agricultural Societies Avould faro badly. The toast was drunk Avith chcors. Mr Alfred King responded. Tho health of the Host and Hostess, Avhich Avas proposed by the vice-chairman, and heartily drunk, was responded to by Air Rogers, and closed the list of toasts. Occasional songs enlivened the proceedings up to this point, after Avhich the evening Avas devoted to harmony and com-iA'iality. Tho dinner was \-oted a great success.

The Annual Race Meeting in connection with the Pakuranga Hunt Club took place to-day at the Ellcrslie course Tlie day being fine though cloudy, a goodly number of spectators were present on the Grand Stand and lining the course The fair sex avus avcll represented, and avc noticed the colours of some of the riders Avorn con spicuously by their lady admirers. The going could not have been in better order : the steeplechase course which. Avas different from that usually run over, was admirably selected, and Avas calculated to test all the points of a good hunter. The Avater-jump at the gate corner caused great anticipation of fun, and Avas " shepherded " by an eager croAvd all the early part of the afternoon. Five races Avere set cloAvn on the card, and though the fields did not promise to be large, there were no forgone conclusion,and a good deal of interest Avas manifested in the racing. The handicapping of Mr H. E. Handley gave universal satisfaction,and the way .the horses Avere brought together at the ■weights fairly puzzled those avlio where desirous of selecting the winners. Mr Robert Wynyard Avas at his old post as starter and carried out his duties patiently, and well. Mr W. J. Marks as clerk of the scales, and Mr T. A. BroAvn as clerk of the course, were Avell up to their Avork, and adminis tered justice Avith firmness and impartiality. Mr Every McLean performed the > office of judge very efficiently. The racing com menced at half past one o'clock. On arriv ing at the course a rumour Avas heard that Mr Oavcii McGec's well-known mare Perfume bad broken doAvn in a gallop and Avould not start. As she had been backed freely for tAVO races, this caused great disap pointment. The rumour Avas verified by Mr McGee putting the pin through her name for the Hurdle Race, just its the saddling bell rang for the race. The first tAvo trains were rather thinly patronised, but the one o'clock train was well filled. At the time for the competitors for the Hurdle Race coming on to tho course, about six hunched people Avero on the course, and the number was increased to a thousand later on in the afternoon. There was a powerful contingent present of the gentry who devote their energies to making a rise out of the games of chance usually in vogue at race meetings. They were pretty orderly, and Avere not interfered with. " An inspection of the water jump avus the first business alluded to by a large number of the spectators on jirriA'ing. It Avas about 12 "feet across, Avith a hurdle in front of it, and a very awk ward take off. As time progressed a good number of traps arrived and took up then position at the side and in front of the Grand Stand. Messrs Archarcl and Hill looked after the catering, and their stores were well patronised. Only three numbers went up for the Hurdle Race Shamrock being scratched at the last minute for the very absurd reason that no rieer bad been procured for him. Roth Islesman and Wrangler run in bandages. The first named looked very Avell, though his forelegs shoAved signs of weakuess.

DR. ELLIS ON TENNYSON.

T HE lecture room of the Young Mens Christian Association was crowded last evening by a ics p eetablc and intelligent audience, on the occa si on of the ninth lecture of the winter series m co nnection with that institute.

A-er, virtue thus triumphing over vice, and the curtain falling on a happy scene. The folloAving isi Mr Plumsall's protest which gave rise to the

MR PLIMSOLS "PROTEST." „ l\° foffowing is a copy of the "Protest" made by Mr Phmsoll on tho occasion of the withdrawal tjmi Government of the Merchant Snipping i ir,01! Thursday night :—" I protest in the name or Cod against any further delay in proceeding Avith the Shipping Bill. Tho bill itself is an atrocious sham, but there is enough humanity and knowledge in the House of Commons to change it into a good measure. At this moment thereare2,6s-l ships afloat which have run through their classes just like the bard of Avon, and yet at this moment any of tho OAvncrs, captains, mates, ship's husbands, and consignees of those ships may, without warrant, arrest British sub jects, who, haAdng carelessly agreed to sail in them, find, AVhon too late, that the only alterna tive before them is gaol or death. I charge tho It was this disposition that led him to erect his homo under Blackdown Hill, eight miles from the quiet town of Godalming, in Surrey, in one of tho loneliest and wildest parts of the South of England, in order to avoid toady interruption and anstrocatic intrusions. Dr Ellis gave a per sonal recollection of the poet, in a village church in North Wales, and described many of the scenes of his poems, especially those of Vcntnor, the Wye, and the Severn. Ho then traced his poetic career from the date of his first volume to tho issuing of his rocent dramatic effort on Queen Mary." Ho quoted some of the choic est passages from Tennyson's works, from Locksley Hall," the "Two Voices," "Tho Gar dener's Daughter," "In Memorium," and a num ber of others, in Avhich ho displayed nice dis crimination and sound judgment, A'iowing the subject under two heads: tlie poet-artist in rela tion to the body of beauty, and the poet-philo sopher dealing with tho soul of truth. The lec turer's explanations of " Locksley Hall," and the " May Queen," were graphic and extremely poet ical and Avere listened to Avith profound silence by all prcsoiit,and eni. oyed with a relish that was creditable to the intelligence of Auckland. The lecturer closed Avith it peroration on the immor tality of the truths of the Bible, and referred to those doubts Avhich at somo period or other of life, come over the mind, as pictured in such poems as the "Two Voices," and the "In Mem orium" of Alfred Tennyson. But a desire for truth, and Avhich Avould bo overcome by calm enquiry and serious investigation, young men fnced not shrink from the light of science. The Bible Avas an authority to Avhicii the human intellect could appeal for light, Avhich was not to be found in nature. They should lose no time, but pursue the investigation fearlossly, and in a candid and earnest spirit. If they did this, they Avould ultimately emerge from the gloom into the sunshine, and Avould "rejoice" with tho happier A-oico of Tennyson. In a brief notice, it is impossible to do justice to Dr Ellis's admirable lecture,Avhich was received as such a lecture should bo. with attention and pleasure. Between the parts of the lecture scA'eral of tho poets' songs were sung by the Alisses Mauiisell, and Air Pounds, in a highly dreditable manner. A A roto of thanks Avas pro posed to tho lecturer, and the ladies and gentle man avlio had assisted Avith their A-oiccs; the A rot;e Avas carried by acclamation. The chairman an nounced that the last lecture of the series on " Constantinople and the Greek Church" Avould be given by Rev DaAdd Bruce of St Andrews, on Friday, the 20th instant.

DEEP LEADS AT FULLERTONS.

At Fullertons, within a mile or two of Hyde, one or two companies have been prospecting for deep leads, and having found good encouragements, commenced tunnelling. One party has just completed a tunnel of 1600 feet in length, and obtained Avash-diri, Avhich they estimate can be got out in such quantities as to pay £6 per Aveek. Encouarged by this success, other parties are busy prospecting. BISHOP MORAN AND THE " STAR." The " Tablet," in a fierce article, says it was competent for the Catholic clergy to prefer another indictment against the " Star," but their friends represent that there Avould be little hope of any other result, and itself fears the intelligence of a petty jury is higher than of a grand, jury. It accuses the "Star" of being bitterly malignant against Catholics, and iioav will feel safer than ever in indulging its amiable propensity. The "Sta|r" replies that they owe no duty to Bishop Moran, and have a right to expect equally courteous treatment front him as from any other person, and if his zeal and that of those under his control lead them to forget " the gentleman," they must expect to be answed according to their folly. He sought to compel what he could not force, but might haA'c had for asking. He must not therefore complain if he was met on his own ground and defeated. The Kumara rush slioavs no abatement.

£1000 REWARD.

The stirring and dramatic protest made by Mr Samuel Plimsoll against the indiilercncc ol: the House of Commons to the saenhee ot human life in unseaworthy vessels, gave rioA to a highly sensational play. Ihe idea of writing "£IOOO Reward," which is to be placed on the boards ot the Theatre Roval on Monday, Avas sugges ted to Mr "Handel McNair's mind when reading Mr Plimsolls protest, the text of which we publish below The plot is startling, and artistically worked out. A banker's son commits a forgery, and to cover it, the father devised a scheme to nun a young clerk in the establishment. He ordered him to South America, ostensibly to collect on some boons shares, but really arranging his passage m a vessel which it was considered certain Avould never reach the land. Alter the clerks departure, the discovery of the frauds and forgeries was made public and charged upon the absent clerk. The banker de clared that the accused had ded, and the evi dence of his crime seemed so clear that his poor father died, broken-hearted. But fate was ad verse to the diabolical scheme ; the. intended victim returned, and exposed the true culprit, who was transported. The next scene is laid in the Australian bush, Avhere the clerk had settled with his wife and family.' The banker's son had escaped from the penal settlement at Cockatoo Island, and £1000 reward was ottered for his culture Ho made his appearance at the bush "Stage of his former fellow-clerk, and was hos- C- ' '«t v entertained. Ho was not recognised, pitao.. -mined to revenge himself by killing and dete. -ily. HaA'inggained possession oi a the whole fan- -nage as a protection against gun kept in the co. - r , (he hero of the play, bushrangers, he hreu _ <• ; u reality, only graz apparentlv killing him, but. ' +Ue cott age to

night must have satisfied them of their error. The chair Avas occupied by Rev. R. S. Hassard, Avho introduced the lecturer with some A'cry suit able remarks on the beauty and utility of poetry quoting in its favor from the late Mr Robertson of Brighton, and other authorities. ReA r. W. J. Williams engaged in prayer. Dr Ellis divided his lecture into two parts, thus separating the earlier from the later poems of Tennyson. The introductory portion Avas a splendid rhapsody on the "faculty divine," Avhich dealt with all the moods and passions of the mind. Dr Ellis then proceeded to giAre a brief sketch of Tennyson's life, and said, in a few words, all that could be said of Tennyson's life, for no poet's life CA rerhad fewer incidents. Tennyson ncA rcr appeared on a platform, nor did he over open his mouth to a public audience. Tennyson is, as Dr Ellis des cribed him,ollo of the shyest of men, and he pre fers the solitudes of nature and tho society of his own family, to fashionablo life and popularity. Government that they are, wittingly, and un wittingly—for there aro both —playing into the hands of the maritime murderers inside tho House and outside the House to secure a further con tinuance of the present murderous system. What is demanded by humanity is, that rotten ships should be broken up or repaired; that ships should not be overloaded; that grain car goes should not bo carried in bulk, so as to ex pose tho hves of those on board to deadly peril; and deck cargoes, tho source of unutterable agony to many, and death to so many more, should be put an end to. The GoA'crnmcnt Bill provides for none of these things; it provides only heavier penalties and sc.A rei'er punishments against our unfortunate f ellowsubj cct s avlioso necessities take them to sea. I desire to unmask the vil lians avlio sit in tho House, lit represeiitati\_es of the more numerous, but not greater, A'illians avlio arc outside the House, and in the name of our common humanity, I demand that this bill shall bo proceeded Avith immediately, as the report, on the Agricultural Holdings Bill will send scores of county mcmbcv'i out of town, members avlio, toaman, would i-'ijiport the cause of justice, humanity, and mere? and thus leave to tho Government and the s p owners the power to prolong the horrible iate of things Avhich iioav exists. In the nanv of tho God of all justice and of all mercy, I protest against any further delay. I demand that the Merchant Shipping Bill be proceeded with ire m this hour de die in diem until through Committee, and, fail ing this, I lay upon tho head of the Prime Minis ter and his fellows tho blood of all men who shall perish next winter through preventable causes, and I denounce against him and against them the wrath of that God who has said " Ye shall not afflict any widow or fatherless child. If thou afflict them in any Avise, and they cry at all unto me. I will surely hear their cry, and my wrath shall wax hot, and I will kill you with the sword, and your Avivcs shall be widows andjyour children fatherless." How much hotter then shall be his indignation and wrath against those who reduce unhappy Avomcn and children to that deplorable condition, and who leave their own fellow-creatures, guilty of no crime, to a A'iolent and sudden death !"

THEATRE ROYAL.

THE "Gilded Age," Avas again performed at the Theatre Royal, with the same interest and finish as on the previous evening. Mr and Mrs John Hall acquitted themselves in tho same satisfac tory and pleasing manner, and frerjuontly won the plaudits of the house. The race between the steamers, with the terrific explosion of one, was a closer performance than that of the previous evening, and created much admiral ion. Altogether the " Gilded Age " was successfully re presented, and will be repeated this evening, for the last time, under the patronage of the Pakuranga Hunt Club. We learn that a new drama, " Partners for Life," is in pre paration, and Avill shortly be introduced.

FIRE IN BREWER'S LANE.

Destruction of a Stable and Dwelling House-

At about throe o'clock tin's afternoon some boys who were playing in the neighbour hood of Brewers Lane, a narroAV street off Grey-street, noticed smoke proceeding from a stable in the rear of the premises of Mr BcA-ege, painter and decorator, Grey-street. She boys at once communicated the fact to Mr James Young, butcher, who had the fire-bell at the corner of Grey street rung, and in a. feAV minutes there was a general scaniper in the direction indicated. The lire Avas found to have broken out in a stable occupied by a Mr Barney Coylc, contiguous to a, small cottage occupied by a Mrs Goodman both bouses being the 'property of Mr Patrick Heath. There avus a. horse in the stable at the time, which was removed by a Mr. Herbert. When he entered the building the lire was in an early stage, and was burning in the corner above the horse's head, ap parently coining through from the loft. Mr. McKcwen, and constables Gillies and O'Neill were amongst tho first on the spot, Serjeant O'Connor and other members of the force were also engaged in keeping back the crowd. The lire rapidly spread to the adjoining bouse of Mrs Goodman, Avho bad only just returned from Queen-street, and she had the greatest difficulty in saving her pro perty. At first there was a very limited supply of water, scarcely enough being available to supply the hand engine. The crowd rendered prompt and Avilling assistance in moving aAvay the furniture, and Mr Bevege's shop was speedily cleared of its contents. For some time the bouses on the opposite side of the lane were in danger but by the aid of buckets of water dashed against them it was pre vented from spreading in that direction. The great heap of firewood AVas so close to the burning stable that it avus ignited at one corner, but the fire Avas checked ill this direction by the aid of a band engine work ing through the AvindoAV of Mr Bevege's shop. The stable and dwelling-bouse were speedily consumed, but the damage Avas confined to there The two buildings Avere insured in the Norwich Union for £50.

We have received the following relatiA'C to the accident in Wellington-street: " Sir,—ln justice to Mr Palmer's boy allow me to say a word in reply to Mr Mack's letter of yesterday. I believe the real facts of the case arc these : The boy was riding up Uupcr Union-street, not at a rapid or furious pace by any means, but at a shuffling kind of cantor. He called out to young Alack to keep out of the way, but the little fellow Avas flurried, and, instead of running out of the way, ran up against the horse's shoulder, and so was knocked down. I do not think the slightest blame attaches to the butcher boy who, different to most of his class, is a very thoughtful, careful lad, and pulled up his horse as soon as ho saw little Mack's danger, but not in time to prevent the accident. By inserting the above you will oblige, Yours Respectfully,— R. H. Hughes, Upper Union-street.
