secure a thorougly successful Show, and that their efforts are likely to prove successful Is shown by the fact that they have received upwards of six hundred entries for the various classes of exliibits. A commodious wooden structure has been built near the Grand Stand for the purpose of accommodating the produce exhibited. This ■will be a very great improvement on past years, and will enable this portion of the Show to be well appreciated. The entries closed to-day at one o 3clock, and the catalogue will be com pleted by this evening. Mr Percival the Secretary has been busy " wakiug up " intending competitors, and d jserves credit for his exertions on behalf of the Associ ation. From what we hear, the cattle and horses exhibited will be well worth inspection. If the weather is propitious, Mr Walters lias promised to sand down his thoroughbreds Hippocampus and Venus Transit. The railway authorities will provide frequent trains to and from the grounds during the day. The judges are requested to be in attendance by half-past nine o'clock. The gates will ba open to the public about eleven. HORTICULTURAL SHOW. Another feature of attraction at Ellers lie will be the Working Men's Horticultural Exhibition, at which prizes will be awarded for the best colic --to is of plants, flowers, and vegetables; also, for collections of roses,, and cut flowers of every seasonable description. Sptciil prizes will also be given by Mr Swanson for the best kept cottage gardens. We hope to see a goodly show in this section of the of EUerslie, as the committee have spared no pains in their endeavours in favour of working" men •, thov h .ye, moreover, per muted exhibitors to choose their own judges in order that no dissatisfaction may linger in the minds of compotitcrj at the close of the exhibition. T3S NOiiTH SHORE RACES. The races announced to come off at the North Shore will bo a great improvement on those of las;; y :nr. T;ie entries are more numerous, and the arrangements are al together more complete. The class ol the horses engaged is also superior. Among chose entered are suoii well-known per formers as Elsa. Rally, Lady Godiva, La Belle, &c, &c. The North Shore Ferry \ Company v.'ill despatch boats at frequent in ten'als during the day. Our special "tout" sends us tiie following interesting notes, : winch may be regarded as strictly reliable : —Another North Shore racer is gone bilious. ■ Mr E. Allison's P.-ii Maine, like Mr May's Sir JJonaid, refuses his oats ; and as each particular hair on the horses' backs • stand upon an end, it is fcareu i that somebody is doctoring them — j or in other words they have been " got at." : Mr McGee's mare Blsa, Mr Somerfield's ; Rally, Mr Wynward's Lady Godiva, Mr i Shakespeare's Baronet, Mr Kelly's La Belle, ! and other horses went over in the Tak&puna ■ ,o-day. For the Trotting Match, Mr : Quick's Lady of the Lake is said to i-e a ! quick horse, but Mr Fent.on's Snowball Avill try and cap it. The names of the offi- ] cers and Committee of Management are a ; sufficient guaranteo that the programme ■ will be strictly adhered to. EXCURSIONS. A number of excursions will be made by steamers to sunny spots and pleasant ; places. The steamer " Lalla. Rookh " will ' start for the Queen-street wharf exactly I at nine o'clock ior tho island-; of Putiki i and Walheke, calling at Motutapu both ways. The Ferry steamers will run every j twenty minutes during the day for the \ North Shore, and every hour for Stokes j Point. Excursiun tickets will be issued | for immediate stations on the Auckland j and Newcastle railway, second single fares \ available for return journey the same day. ' Trains will leave for EUerslie at half past j nine o'clock a.m. until 6.15 p.m., nearly i every hour. The Rotomahana steamer j will leave the wharf at 5.30 p.m. for the j Thames. The s.s. Lily will leave the wharf ; ior Riverhead at I±SO. returning in the , evening at a reasonable hour. AMUSEMENTS. Perhaps the chief demonstration of interest in the city will be that of the ! Oddfellows who will march in procession j from Qceen-street at half-past nine o'clock I to the pleasant grounds of the Domain, for .; the purpose of celebrating the unfurling of : of the neAV banners of the Fountain of j Friendship and Good Intent Lodges. The ; members will be in full regalia with band, j etc., and the scone of pleasure will be ; witnessed no doubt by many hundreds of] spectators. The procession re-forms at five o'clock in the evening and returns to j the Cook-street Hall where an ample repast i will be provided for the satisfaction of the j appetite. The ball will be afterwards held in the Lorac-street Hall under the direction tfP.P.G.M. Cole. j THE THEATRE. j A holiday bill lias been prepared ;>y the i management of the Theatre Royal for the pur- I pose of interesting excursionists and others j after the burden and heat of the day. The intellectual feast provided for reason and soul, will consist of Shakespeare's less known comedy of " Katherine -and Petruchio," and a fine musical burlesque, on Byron's eastern poem, the "Bride of Abydos." Those who have not seen those favourites to advantage, Miss M. L. Young and Mr "Wheatleigh, will have an oppor tunity of doing so to-morrow evening.

"THE LANCASHIRE LASS."

The drama of "The Lancashire Lass' was presented at the Theatre Royal last evening, bat the attendance was not large. Th* play was written by Homy James Byron, a native of Manchester; whose earliest dramatic produc tion "Fra Diavolo," was patronised by aiiss Swa'nborougrh who produced it jn ISS.S at the little Strand Theatre. The dram?, had a sue-. cessful season, bur. as a. play, it belongs to the sensational rather thauto the natural school ; and includes a murder. Tho vWc throughout w a fair construction after the orthodox order ot plav-writiug, illustrative of love, mystery re venge, deceit, despair, and triumph. J lie lass was prettily impersonated by Sliss i oun-, wno represented Ruth with grace and confiding sim plicity and the character was coniparanvoly faultless. Mr C. Whea-tleigrh acted the part of a Darty by the name of Johnson with decided success." Mrßelton, as Ned Clayton, played no inconsiderable part in the drama, and was well received. Mr Leonold,as the rustic, who knew a great deal about tattle ana human nature, was excellent; in fact, we have not seen him in c: ny -it uation to S re ater advantage, Gjesory Danville, Esq., w.is a Pfood repres.-ntauon by Mr Alexander, and the scene in which he is recognised by the '.'Party of the name of Johnson." as the thief and forger of Liver pool, and for whose rascality the jparty■ » had suirered, was well and efivctiycly vlelinented. Mr Searle appeared as the eccentric, ;yi s e n -te 1" Jellook," wiiose heart was blighted, who professed to have the courage of a lion, ' with a iread as soft as that of a mouse. Air C. -Vr-ruci" exhibited th>s character of Donovan, an officer of the fore, in a forcible style, and ■snoke the Irish toaetue wirh characteristic - rV.-^ai-ass.

MOANATAIRI.

1 Really first-class specimens continue to be broken out on the stope below the i tunnel level; the leader is2| feet thick, t and well charged with mineral, gold piedomiuat ' in". The reef is about 10 feet below the tunnel, and 170 feet will be taken out from the stope to the surface stops, being carried to west, where the richest gold exists. CALEDONIAN. ! The Caledonian crushing of 30 tons at Kuranui battery is nearly completed, but the return will be below expectations. The stone which was taken from No. 6 lode was at first very good, but latterly became so poor that the manager decided not to take out a large parcel. All bauds are employed tracing a small leader, which is likely to lead to a good patch. Alburnia. No 2 winze is sunk 23 feet, at which depth it has reached the junction i of the specimen leader, with the large reef j which is now being timbered. The reef in ! winze No. 1 shows a little gold, and a good body of quarts.

2.3q p.m.

THE MOAN AT AIHI

There is a good shew still in the new reef, 15 feet below the tunnel level. The Alburnia is looking well.

The New Morning Star expect to cut the new Moanatairi lode.

In Tookey's a good-looking leader was discovered yesterday, which has not been prospected. Kuranui Hill.—Sinking was started un der Patterson's run of gold, and as the indications are promising, good payable stone is expected to be met with before many feet are sunk. At No. 4 level the Shot-over reef is expected to be cut shortly. Piako.— The drive at. No. 8 level is in 23ft., but up to the present the hanging wall is not readied. A spur wheel to replace one lately broken is now being fixed in position. The county authorities open the new bridge tomorrow. There will be a Volunteer display, sham light, and luncheon. Steamer excursions are an nounced to Auckland, Coromai.d-1, and Uhiaemuri. SHAREMARKET. Sharemarket inclined to dulness. Moanatairis In moderate demand, sales at £5 to £5 os to £5 ; sellers, £5 ss.

The Indian Famine Relief Fund Com mittee met last night. About £65 were subscribed. Lists will be kept open until Monday, when the amount of money raised will be forwarded to the Mayor of Auck land. A public meeting was held last night with reference to the action of the Highway Board in bolstering up a rotten tramway to suit, it is alleged, one member. The action of the Board was strongly condemned. A committee was appointed, and a telegram forwarded to fcir George Grey, requesting that the tramway be not handed over to the Highway Board, as it would be sub versive of public interests, and a waste of

money,

A CAUTION TO LOAFERS.

George Smith, a station hand, was sentenced yesterday morning by the R.M. to 4S hours' imprisonment, for obtaining a bed and breakfast from Frank W. Evans, of the Rangitikei Hotel, and absconding without payment. The practice is becoming very common, and this case has been tried as a caution to others for the benefit of the trade.

The greatest flood ever experienced in the Grey River has occurred. The river is higher than ever known before. Little damage was done in town. The Harbour Works stood, admirably, but up-country

great havoc has been done to fences, live stock, bridges, &c. No coaches are yet able to travel on the Reefton Road, miles of it being covered with fallen timber. The river cut a new channel to the sea, about a mile south of the previous one.

WAITEKAURI, Tuesday.

"Waitekauri.— The new manager since taking charge lias inaugurated a system of prospecting' the reef Where untried. The reef has been cut into in several places, mainly where broken and disturbed ; but a little work in it would soon get the reef in solid ground, when the prospects are safe to improve. In one place, where the reef is solid, very few prospects have been obtained, and a trial crushing will be at once taken out. The winze being sunk at the Golden Point part of the ground to the No. 4 level is disclosing very fair stone with, a noticeable improvement. As it deepens there will ere long be a good block opened here. The stone at present being crushed is coming from the slopes in the vicinity of the No. 2 winze, and the quality of the quartz to be crushed at the end of the month is confidently expected to be far better than that at present going through, which is averaging slightly over loz to the ton, I am told. The manager lias had great trouble in securing the ground, the walls being so soft and treacherous ; but now that all is secured again the best front of the reef will be come-at-able, as so far only the poorest front has been broken down. The manager is at present stoping out about 12 feet of the reef, and easily gets p.notierh stone to keer, the 32 head fully

employed at the, battery, which is in full swing, with everything working smoothly. Welcome.—The crushing with the S head on the stun from the cross lode is fully equal to expectations, A trial lot from the No. 4 lode in the low level has given as good a return as the qnaxiz from the crop lode. The : manager is putting up passes to enable him 1 to break out the Iso. 4 lode, and as he has ''■ near 500 feet of it, of an average width of °ft there ts profitable crashing for a very

long while. Where tried, the quartz is all of first-class quality, and the first stope started has disclosed some very excellent stone. Everyone here feels satisfied there is a brilliant future before this Company and the Young New Zealand, for the pros pects of both are really excellent. Young New Zealand.—The manager has about 50 tons of excellent stone broken out ready for a start aVtut Friday. No breaking' down has taken place for the last week, but as soon as the present stuff is shifted to the battery quartz will be broken out in quantity, when the manager fully expects to take out a quan tity of stone fully as rich as some oi the last lot, some of the stones of which were worth to the ton. Leahy.—Cut an excellent-looking leader, six inches through, in the low level, and have very strong indications of a larger body of quartz not far off; and as the drive is in excellent country, it is hoped that their perseverance will be amply rewarded. Auckland.—The manager informs me the reef is about 4 feet through now, and dur ing the last week has shewed to tne east- j ward, since when it has improved consider- j ably in appearance, and is now a fine look ing body of stone. During the last few days several stringershave been cut running diagonally with the reef ahead of the ! present face, and all of them full of base minerals of a very hopeful nature. Ho ex pects to see a decided improvement before the drive is extended much further. j

Mr John Copland was arrested to-day, in Queen-street, and placed in confinement as a dangerous lunatic. An information was laid against him this afternoon for mal treating his children, and it appears that three gentleman, who have been security for his behaviour, have declined to continue their trust. The arrest caused considerable excitement, as Mr Copland resisted the officers.

The intended cricket match between the j Auckland and United Cricket Clubs, which i was to have come off to-morrow, lias been j postponed in consequence of the Auckland \ Club being unable to get a team together. ! Mr Seve.cn has been very successful with his series of scientific lectures in Sydney. j In our report of the City Council yester- ; day, the word " regretting" was misprinted I "requesting." The reference was to Mr j Fleming's accident. ; Since instructions have been issued to the ■ Customs authorities to look out for the | Colorado beetle, two or three unfounded \ alarms have been created by the alleged j discovery of this much-abused insect on j packages brought by steamers from Aus- J tralia. Some time ago a little grey lizard ; was found on a package brought by the ! Hero, audit was passed round from hand to j hand, and although it was as much like the j veritable " beastie " as a cat is like a croco- j dile, there were not wanting several who i pronounced it off-hand to be the dreaded foe j of the potato crop. This morning another | scare t< >ok place. One of the landing waiters i at the Customs ofiice, on the Quoen-street ' wharf, found <i tiny beetle, " dragging its j .slow length along " thn floor of the office, ; and he immediately pounced on it, and i after an effectual resistance, gallantly com- ! pleted the capture. The cry was immedi ately raised, "A Colorado beetle," and an anxious throng was soon collected round j the fortunate captor. An irreverent by- i stander suggested it was a kauri bug, but j his remark was passed by with scorr. ! Another, equally wide of the • mark, i suggested that it was a cockroach, ; but he only drew upon himself \ the angry gaze of the possessor, i We are not prepared with an exact descrip- j tionofthe foundling, but are able to say ! that it only bears a distinct resemblance I to the beetle of Colorado. We believe it j is under contemplation to stick a pin I through it and .-end it to Mr Cheeseman, • of the Museum.

At this season of the year, when Nature \ is so profuse in her adornment, clothing i herself in such lovely garments, it naturally j inspires' the good Housewife with the desire I to make her dominion alike attractive. To j aid her in this praiseworthy object, the en- ; terprising Furnishing Finn have imported i a fresh lot of Carpets, patterns to please j every taste, suitable for Drawing, Dining, \ and" Bedroom.
