THE MOAT AND THE BRAIN.

(To the Editor.) Slß,—There has been quite a stir at the North Shore for the last week, consequent upon the action of the Chairman of the District Board ordering the removal of all material, &c, from the roads, several persons being threatened with legal pro ceedings if their property was.not iorth with removed. Amongst those notified to that effect was the person erecting a shed for the North Shore Rowing Club. The shed, in order to obtain more room, was erected, and projecting some two or three feet on the road. This chimney erected with one corner projecting about 3ft. cm the road. The Chairman of the District Board, accompanied by the district con stable, armed with an Act, interviewed the builder of the shed, and threatened sundry and divers penalties unless the shed were removed within twenty-four hours. Rather than cause any disturbance the shed was, at considerable inconvenience and expense removed. But although the constable had •orders from the Chairman of the District Board to have the roads and beaches cleared of certain obstructions, yet there are numbers of spars and pieces of timber—the property of the said Chairman—lying strewn about the beach adjoining a ship building yard. There is also a chimney is also the property of the said Chairman The question suggests itself, can the constable see the spars, etc., referred to, or has the Chairman of the District Board, in givinginstructions to clear the roads, etc., of other peoples' property, forgotten that he had also a few articles obstructing the thoroughfare.—Yours, etc., NORTH SHORE.

Mayor of Auckland v. C. Greenway, claim £21 17s 6d rates.

Mr Tyler appeared for plaintiff, and Mr Hesketh for the defendant.

Sergeant N. Bushell deposed that he was house agent and clerk in the employ of Mr Greenway whose office was in High-street. On the 2*7 th of September last, he might had received a demand for rates of a clerk in the employ of Messrs Russell and Devore, but did not remember the circum stance.

George Griffin, clerk to Messrs Eiissell and Devore, deposed that he delivered the letter, containing, he believed, the applica tion for the rates. (Letter-book produced, ■with fac simile of application. Mr Hesketh said the original letter should be produced, as Mr Bushell deposes that he had no recollection of the receipt of the demand, and the clerk only fancied that it was the application. His Worship considered that the produc tion of the original document was unneces sary in such a case, nor was a notice impera tive.

The document was read to the effect that £21 17s «5d was due to the City Council by Mr Greenway on Ms property in Victoria street west, and if not paid within a certain number of days, proceedings would be taken to recover the same

The witness was cros?-:-samimed by Mr Hesketh.

Isaac W. Harrop, receiver and collector to the Auckland City Council (dxily ap pointed), produced the general rate book, and shewed that the amount claimed was due on the said property, namely, the Royal Mail Hotel.

To Mr Hesketh : The red marks in the register indicated alterations that had been made before the buok was signed. Mr Hesketh; addressed the Court, and offered some objections involving points of law.

Henry Ridings, valuator, deposed that he delivered the notices for the several rates, namely, general rate, £12 10s ; special rate, £3 2s 6d $ and water rate, £6 ss, at the Roval Mail Hotel.

Mr P. A. Philips and Mr W. H. Pearce having given evidence his Worship reserved judgment.

GRAHAMSTOWNJthis day. PUMPING ASSOCIATION. The Pumping Arrangements Committee of the Thames County Council held a meeting yesterday to discuss the position in connection with driving from the low levels of the pump shaft, notice to suspend which had been furnished to the Manager of Works, under authority of the CouncfL It was stated that the Government had been communi cated with on the subject, and was said to hare promised to provide the necessary legal authority to enable the county to deal with 4he securities in their possession, and on the faith of which, a sum of £2,000 had already been expended in. the work. Mr Rowe had telegraphed to the Council in reply to urgent ■communications from the County Chairman to say that the Government had undertaken to carry out the pledge of the Ministry of last session, and introduce the necessary legislation authorising the Council to deal with these securities. After some discussion it was resolved to take no action in the matter until further replies to the messages sent to the Government are to hand, and the committee adjourned. The driving undertaken by the Kuranui Hill Company's directors is to be pushed on •■vigorously, and a fresh contract for con tinuing the work has been let. The " Advertiser" says : " From the ■emphatic tone Avhich Mr Rowe telegraphs ■the mind of the Government on this matter We do not think auy apprehension of stop T>age of the work need be entertained."

DISCOVERY OF A SUSPICIOUS FIXE.

Last evening Detective Farrell discovered what might have become a disastrous fire. Passing down Quin-street, he noticed a glare of light in a house at the corner of

"Dixon-street, and on getting inside, found a lot of papers and documents on fire. The place smelt of kerosene, and the papers wero saturated with it. The occupants of the house said they were not aware of any kerosene in the room, "which was occupied by another person, then out. The property was insured in the South British for £400. An inquiry is to 1»e made into the affair. At the inquest on the late fire a search ing investigation into the supply of water was recommended. There was no evidence to shew the origin of the fire.

AN ALLIGATOR HUNT AT SEA.

The following interesting incident occurs in the log book of the Mary Anderson, which arrived from the Solomon Islands this morning :—On Sunday, July Bth, near Guadalcanar, in the Solomon Group, at 7.39 a.m., the crew saw an alligator passing about a mile from the ship. At 7.45 gave chase with the boat. At 8 a.m. came up and commenced firing at him. He dived, and kept under for 8 minutes. As soon as he rose the captain again fired, and hit him on the upper jaw, the ball sliding off as from a piece of iron. He again went down for about five minutes, and rose thirty yards from the boat. Fired again, and again missed him. He again disappeared, and was so long under that we gave up hopes of seeing him again. He, however, rose at length, and a shot this time struck him just below the eye, causing instant death. As soon as hit he turned over on his back. Towed him ashore, and with the assistance of about twenty natives who exhibited signs of high glee at our exploit, got him into the boat, and took him alongside and hoisted him on board, where we skinned him and preserved his coat. The monster was found to be 14 ft. long and Bft. in circumference. The skin has been brought on to this port, and will probably be stuffed.

AUCKLAND REGATTA CLUB.

The annual -meeting of the Auckland Regatta Club was held at the Thames Hotel last night. As usual very little interest was taken in the proceedings, and not more than a dozen gentlemen were present. Mr Yon der Heyde was voted to the chair, and called upon Mi T. Hender son to read the minutes of last meeting. These preliminaries having been completed, the Treasurer, Mr Dacre, read the balance sheet for the last regatta, which was of a more favourable description than for several years past. According to this the receipts amounted to £485 13s 9d, and the expenditure to £477 14s sd, leaving a balance of £7 19s 4d to be carried to the new account. As the last committee commenced with liabilities amounting to about £30, and gave better prizes than have ever been given before, the state ment was received with applause. The election of a committee and officers for the ensuing year was proceeded with but owing to the general disinclina tion'to take office a great deal of time was consumed lin i doing very little. Messrs T. Henderson and J. Dacre were among those who withdrew their services, and very general regret was ex- Dressed a t the circumstance, as it was freely acknowledged that the successful carrying out of regattas is past years was mainly dne to their exertions. The following gentlemen were at length elected as a com

mittee :—Messrs J. Nearing, T» Nicctol, C. Bailey, W, H. Stodart, M. Gallagher, D. Oxley, H. F. Anderson, G- Vqfc> der Heyde, D. Gonk, J. Marshall, I* I&srgesß. Mr W. H. Stodart -wa* elected Treasurer, but the office of Secretary was not filled up. Messrs D. o*&ey/ and J. Marshall were re-elected auditor*- the following officers of last year were re-tflbcted,. subject to their consenting to serve again : —Patron, His Excellency the Governor ;• Vice-Patrons, the Hon. Sir George Grey and His Worship the Mayor ; President,, the Chairman of the Harbour Board ; Vice- : Presidents, T. Henderson and J. P. Pierce, j Esquires. The meeting then adjourned. j

ACCIDENT TO MR A. FLEMING.

Mr Alexander Fleming, membei of the City Council, had aj narrow escape at the Wairoa early this morning. He had been staying with his eldest daughter a few days at Mr Crawford's residence, and left on horseback this morning accompanied by Miss Fleming and Mr Crawford, intending to catch the train at Papakura. When about a mile or two from the house, the horse buckpd, and Mr Fleming wag thrown upon his head on the road. Miss Fleming, ala-med at the occurrence, lost her presence of mind and slipped from the saddle, but fortunately escaped entirely unhurt. With Mr Fleming matters fared worse, although, fortunately, a substantial helmet hat had saved him from concussion of the brain. He was assisted up much shaken, and taken down to the steamer : Transit, which left for Auckland direct, ! instead of going via Waiheke. By ■, this means he reached Auckland before ' two o'clock. It is believed that the injuries sustained are not serious, and that & few ■ days'* rest will fully restore Mr Fleming to : bis former activity. At present, the ! chief pain he feels is a stiffness : of the back no doubt arising from ( the shock. Mr Fleming desires to thank Mr Niccol for his kindness in rnnning the j Transit to Auckland direct, thereby saving I several hours in the journey. j

MICHAEL ANGELO.

Trra: nest ©f the winter course of lectures in connection with the Young Men's Christian Association will be given to-morrow evening by Dr E. Ellis. The subject is one of special interest to persons of education and refine ment of taste, viz., the life nnd times of Micliaol Angelo.the famous sculptor and painter of Italy, who passed his last years by the banks of tho Tiber, in the city ot<Rome. The syllabui of the lecture, which appears in the Star, will in a measure prepare the audience for the intel lectual feast carefully prepared for them. The life of the pure-minded Angelo, in connection with sketches of his contemporaries, ■will be given from the most authentic sonrces, con densed in that pleasing1 and acceptable manner which has placed Dr. Ellis in the foremost rank of public teachers. Those who remember his excellent lecture on our modern po«t Tenny son, in last year's course at the Institute, may look forward to a treat of cqnal value in his critical estimate of the world's greatest sculptor, who regarded his art with a kind of religious reverence, as a God-sent gift for the uplifting of the human mind into a nobler sphere of thought. Michael Angelo was the artist of the fifteenth century, and his paintings .'and chiselled forms of silent beauty are still tho admiration of men and women of taste, who are capable of appreciating rare works of genius, especially his " Last Judgment" which he painted for the altar of the Sistine. Chapel at Rome. This good and great man devoted his last years to tho perfecting and beautifying of St Peters, which still bears the noblest evidence of his intense love of the true and the beautiful. The lecture, judging from the promise, will be as oomplete as it is possible for lecturer to make it in one lecture. and the career of the almost " divine man," as Carlyle might term him, will be traced from his early days in Florence to his lamented death in Rome. -As far as we are able to judge at this distance of time, the verdict of Vacchl would appear to be iust of the artist who "did all for the glory of God ::' " Unique in painting, unparralleled in sculpture, a perfect architect, an admirable poet, a divine lover*" The interval between tho .two partn will he devoted to singing. Mr Grad well will sing Verdi's sweet soDg, "IlBalen." Miss Vangtian will sing "II Baccio ;" and two young ladies will render an Italian duet.

" TOO LATE ! TOO LATE !"

(To the Editor of the Evening Star. ) Sir,—The " mate of the s.a. Go-ahead," in the Star to-night, has supplied a text worthy of a capital leader. He lost his cause at court, and his case was nil, because he was two-and-a-half minutes late. Now I reckon this pleaded fact against himself is wholly and utterly inexcus able, because, mainly, he is a steamer and tide and time man. It is quite certain that were you ov I only the one odd half minute " too late, too late'Torihis plying craft, we might, either of us, or both, go oiF to jingo, or elsewhere, but could certainly not go anywhere by his steam vessel, as it would, of course, and duly and truly, bo off in the stream. The odd half-minute would do us, and no mistake. Now, let the ladies espe cially, and the female* also, look out sharp and bright, for acknovvledgely it is a lesser evil to bo seven hours' than a half-minute " too late, too late,"' Certainl/ it is ! Now, now, always, at all times, in every case, and ever and everywhere, be 1| minutes too soon, or before time appointed and understood.—l am, etc., "YV.E.S.
