r Bro, Rev. Wni, Tinsley (Auckland) seconded this amendment. . Bro Brooking (Auckland) spoke in defence ot the. action of the Right Worthy Grand Lodge of America in keeping aloof frpm the negro race. Brother Waite, (Auckland), was greatly in favour of inking a neutral position, until it could be seen what steps might be taken to wards reconciliation, by the divided R.W.G. Lodge" 'it the May sessions. Tbe brethren of Australia had expressed a desire, to cut tbe rope that at present bound them to the R.W.G. Lo'i'-es at home, and have a third R.W.G.L. for the Australasian Colonies He Avas in favour of this being done. Brother Potts (Taranaki), expressed himselt strongly in support of appointing representa tives to confer with the Australian delegates, for the furtherance of this object. Brother Way mouth (Auckland), made a stir rin"; and eloquent appeal on behalf of the recognition of tbe negro race. Up. contended that there was no groat difference between the two races, and that the present conduct of the American .representatives Avas but the effect of the dregs of Slavery (applause.)

SUGGESTION

To the Editor of the EVENING STAR. Sir, —I would suggest, in addition to num bers on policemen'suniforni, that, for pur poses of identification, a 'photograph of each ii_av member of the force, be hung up in the Guard Room. In some cases they would hardly'"-, be considered ornamental, I admit, but the. adoption of this plan Avduld prevent' the possibility"6f 'any un worthy member, guilty of brutality, escap ing ' recognition by altering :Ms hirsute appendages.—l am etc.,- Suggestion. .

THE LATE MR. BACH.

(To the Editor of the Evening Star). Sir,—Tn your Saturday's issue I notice a para graph on the death of Mr R. Bach, AVhich I think dons not bear out the motto of your paper. You state none Of Mr 13.'s schemes in tins province have boon successful (or words to that effect).. Allow me to contradict you, as the first fcrrv boat running- payably to the North Shore (after many persons trying it), was designed by him ; also the engines ot the Gemini; Avh'ich have been allowed by competent iudges to be second to none made in the colonies, besides several other things which Avotild be encroaching on your space to mention. I have known Mr B. for nearly 30 years, and can prove that he made his mark in England at all events, as all the principal- improvements in the por table engine were by him. The baby engine you speak of is I believe finished. The great reason of his non-success in Auckland has been his independent, spirit, as he would curry favour from no man, and any one who knew him thorough!, will bear me out in my assertion that he'Avas a first-class practical engineer, and I make boid to say second to no man in the colony. Hoping I have not trespassed too much on' your space, I am, sir, De Mortius Nil Nisi Bonum.

LORNE-STREET HALL.

The Kranz'chento the oflicers of His Imperial Majesty's shin Hertha last evening, in the Lome-street Hall, Avas a great success. By the hour of commencing the ball, the hall Ayas nearly filled, and shortly after was _omfortably croAvded: "The' hall -was beautifully'"decorated for the occasion, with flo Avers, green boughs, ferns, and representative flags. The perform ances of the band were faultless, and most satisfactory in every respect. IMr Brown of the well -known -firm of Brown, Barrett, and Co., acted in the capacity of Master of Ceremonies, and efficiently performed his duty. The-ball Avas opened by the first-lieutenant of the Hertha with Sirs Yon der Hevdo, the set being com pleted with Mr Yon der Hoyde, Consul for Ger nianv, with Mrs Chamberlin, Captain Lieuten ant Yon Senden with Mrs George Graham, and Lieutenam Henck with Miss Browning. The captain of the Hertha was prevented from being present by indisposition. The following was the programme of dan.es :—Polonaise, polka, AvalUer, schottishe, polka mazurka, galop, Avaltzcr (mit DamonAvahl), polka, schot tische, cotillon, polka, schottische, polka mazurka (mit Damehwahl), walteer", and galop. Whist tables and cards were provided for those who were not disposed to dance. The refresh ments.provided by Messrs. Staceyand Co. Avere excellent, and supplied in the side-room set apart for that purpose. Tne proceedings throughout were of the most interesting charac ter, illustrative of the ingenuity of the great German people, and their modes of diffusing a large share of merriment,and social happiness. The Kranzchen will bo long remembered Avith pleasure by those who. Avitpessed it.

ARRIVAL OF THE FIRE BRIGADE.

The' members of the Auckland Fire Brigade who composed the team which represented this cit 1 * in the recent competitions at Luncdin, arrived back thii morning in tho Wellington. These wore received, at the railway Hb*ltem by Kuperiiu-cncient Hughco and Foreman i'ur_c. Wo havb every reason to feel proud ot tlie Avay O'.r Premcn acquitted themselves. Tn the m _icipal contest, namely, the hose reel practice, they recorded a good second to Dunedin AVilii Ikdlarat and' t,-vo other teams behind them. Thevalsc shewed up well in other competitions and'their display must be considered all the, more creditable when it is remembered that their opponents were mostly veteran trained men, who have been years longer ip practice. It is intended to give them a rough welcome at the enginel shed to-night, Avhen some of them Avill, no doubt, give an account of their doings.

MEETING AT REMUERA.

A MBETIKO of the Remuera ratepayers was held yosterdav evening, at the Mount Hobson school room.. There v/as a- Iftrgc attendance. Mr. Baber Avas called to tbe chair, and read the advertisement calling the meeting. He statod the object of the mooting was simply either to; approve or disapprove of the action of the Board in the proposed cutting down of the road. Mr. Lcnnor moved'the first resolution, ' That the trustees be requested not to proceed with the cutting of the Remuera road, but expend the numb, upon the roads in the district that need r_i-,;Ui- " Ho said that most of the Remuera roads needed infd„iliiig, and all of them needed graVeliing, and hc'thongl.r.it much better to ex pend the ratepayers money upon ibose necessary repairs than upon the cutting down of a hill, thapi cou'd not occasion any very great incoavemenc(6.j jie'-hou -■•■it is' the trustees had money in hand for a iiirtre undoHdking, a bridge across Ike Newmarket brossbig Ayould be a far more important work, and would doubtless preA*e:>t ; loss of life to children, and perhaps to adults,! The roads also needed lighting,.and . ootpaths.-- Mr Rntheford seconded the resolution. He thou-dit' the work quite unnecessary, and it AVOuld do iiis property a very groat in„iiry.—Mr Scarborough moved an amendment, 'That the. trustees be requested to out the road. He said it would make a great difference to those who had aiiv carting along ths road ; indeed one horse would do if the .road were cut, and it ynnnired tAVO horses in its present state.—Mr Short sefionded the amendment. He thodght. the cutving of the road would be a great mi-, uro"TOi_ren_ : When' he was b. the Board some' years ago, they contemplated dQmg fbe wpift, but could not sec their way to do so at the time.: —Mr Hay was in favour of not autttttg the road. He thought the cut thig would spoil the road, and destroy its beauty. Mr J. M. Clark in SU eloquent speech supported the amendment;. He referred to Mr Samuel. Morrin's promise to 6-b.enbe one-half the coat and he iMr J. M. Clai-Ke) avss willing to subs'er'be £20 towards the other half. It was a great improv-miont t.o'thi! district, especially to ail r.-4HeiPs"upoii the Eastern side, of Mount. Hobson. Ho thought it would be a benefit to all except, perhaps, to Mr Rutherford, ana even Mr Ridhei-foi'd-hp Avas very doubtful wnether or not it would be tuiy disad\*aiitage to Ids pro perty. A. the tarn of the road ho considered it was Very dangerous, especially to foot passen- K-.-3, and the present improvement would include. widening the road, and thus removing the dan-; n-er Ho'v/as sure the meeting Avould endorse: the action of the t.ijstees. The present was a; favourable opportunity iovei Fee ting an improve-, ment in the district, that might n op occur again. —Mr King said that the cutting .would! be a great loss to Mr Rutherford, and he ought to be compensated for the depreciation; to his p_operi,v.--Mr. Ryburn spoke m favour; of the cutting.—Mr, Hesketh spoks against it.' —Mr. J. Wilson said the trustees had ahvays -tried to meet ratepayers, Whcp worli Ayas also an improvement to the district, andratepayers. came foi'AA-ard with liberal help, they had ahvays tried to encourage such improA'cihents. He1 believed the cutting would be an improvement, otherwise he could'nt have given his consent to it The chairman then put the amendment to meeting,' and atterwards the original motion. The amendment carried en the Amices.—Mr. Lennox =aid he believed the cutting would bene fit his property, and he only objected to it on public grounds, A. vote of thanks (BQw.laded.tlid meeting, Ayhich throughout Avas conducted in a very good spirit
