THE BISMARCK SWAMPED. Post entiy Waterwitch 6 tons, Peace. All appeared at the post, and the Bismark was the favourite. When the gun fired there appeared to be some indecision as to which ■way they were to go ; the Kate, Lavinia, and Bismark, headed doAvn stream, and the Mystery, Flying Fish, and "Waterwitch braring up to Avork to windward. The Litter trio however went about in a few minutes, and ran down after the other three. The reason of the mistake was that an alteration had been made in the course and by some misunderstanding it was not thoroughly understood. The Bismarck was swamped when away doAvn harbour, but all her crew were saved. This race looked extremely close betAvcen the Kate, Lavinia, and Bismarck when the vessels rounded the North Head. The other three were all together about half-a inile astern. Their positions in rounding the buoy were -.— Kate, 12h. 30min. ssec. ; Lavinia,' 12h. 30mm. ?>osec. ; Bismarck, 12h. Slmin. 20sec. ; Waterwitch, 12h. 34 mm. lsec. ; Mystery, 12h. 35min. lOsec. ; Flying Fish, 12h. 35min. 30scc. In beating up, a squall laid the Bismarck on her beam ends, and she filled. Ratcliile, generously sacrificing his excellent position in the race, went to the rescue in the Lavinia, and after some trouble ran alongside, and succeeded in rescuing the men. The boat settled down and disappeared. The Mystery was splendidly handled, and took the second place vacated by the Lavinia.

The Undine had secured a very forward position, and evinced no desire to Avait for her colleagues when the gun went. The other four got away splendidly together, not more than a length intervening between them. The Victoria showed signs of shooting out in the run doAvn the harbour, and off the North Shore she Avas level Avith the leader. The boats rounded the Hcadsthus :—Victoria, Undine, Avon, Euphcmia, Tamaki Packet. The Victoria held the leading place round the buoy, which Avas done by the several vessels as follows :— Victoria, 11 hrs. 4Smins. 30 sees. Undine, 11 hrs. 49 mins. 40 sees. Avon, 11 hrs. 50 mins. 20 sees. Euphemia. 11 hrs. 50 mins. 39 sees. Tamaki Packet, 11 hrs. 51 mins. 20 sees. On the return journey the Victoria had the lead as far as the North Head. When it came to a dead be;it the Avon weathered on her at once, and sailing up harbour against the breeze in a manner that electrified all beholders, she passed the Hag-ship avcll to , windward of the Victoria, the Euphemia lying third.

ELLERSLIE SPORTS.

A FEav minutes before twelve o'clock a lieavy shower came down which damped the expectations of the people present, numbering about 200, and delayed the .sports. As soon as the weather cleared up, about 12.30, the Hibernian Band under the leadership of Mr Dillon, played several lively airs. The boys then mustered for Mo, 1 race, distance 150 yards, prize 10s ; open to all comers ueder 16, and the following were entered :—Mr Brown starter, A. liendry, E. Whitoside, W. Soar, J. Healey, J.

A protest was entered against tlie latter on the ground that he had started from the 10 yards start instead of eight. This being found to be the case, it was decided that the race should be run over again for second place. In the second heat H, Gault was first, J. Martin second, J. MeArthur third, and Guinea fourth.

PAPAKURA ANNUAL RACES, 1877

I T, H. X J apakura Races have attained to the nitli year of their living, and are looked upon as ranking- well among the list of our established annual sports. They have hitherto afforded a good day's pleasure; last year s was considered to be by far the best day s racing of any held ; it was also very largely attended. The winner of the first race (Hurdle), by an outside horse OAvned by the Mercer policeman, and the other events being so Avell contested, made spec tators feel throughout it Avas genuine sport, and calculated to ensure a good attendance in future. The capital regatta programme of to-day, and the unpreceden ted counter-attraction of the All-England Jtleven at Ellerslie, conspired to' put 1 apakura in the back-ground, and many a sportsman was thrown into a state of surliness through having to relinquish tAVO out of three tempting spectacles, Avhen he would have been well pleased to have wit nessed each. Many characterised the holding of the horse races, cricket match, and regatta on one day as a public cala mity, dividing support ami attendance. As a well-known sporting character remarked : " Between Papakura and Ellerslie, he felt in the position of the donkey between tAvo Bundles of hay. Not wishing to turn away from cither, lie Avould starve in the midst of plenty." _ A great deal of rain fell at Papa kura during the night and early this morn ing, to the dismay of the lover's of the turf, but to. the satisfaction of some, to a market gardener for instance, avJio crustily asks, " What arc the races, or the All- England Eleven, compared to a lied of cabbages ?" We Avill leave them to answer this question. It is a relief to turn from so earthly an expression of the human heart; to leave old parsimony to re\ rel in his cabbages and slugs, aim turn with pleasure to Papakura Races, 1877. There were nine entries for the Handicap Hurdle Race, Gladstone being among the number. HANDICAP HURDLE RACE, of 30 so vs., second horse to receive 10 soys. from the stakes. Twice round the course, over eight, flights of hurdles. Nomination, 1 soy.; ac ceptance, 2 soys. Mr A. H. W. Hill's bg.

Walter's br h laaac Walton, iyrs, Sst 101b .. ..3 l"30 p.m. Six horses started Gladstone led over the first hurdle, closely followed by Cockie, Shamrock third. Shamrock came lirst in sight on rounding the turn, folloAved by Gladstone. In this order the second jump Avas made, Louis Core being third. At the third jump Shamrock baulked, and Gladstone led over, Charcoal second, Louis 4 Dor third. A fierce contest ensued, Glad stone leading folloAved closely by Charcoal. At the third hurdle Cockie got slightly injured in the leg, and was pulled up. Gladstone meanwhile gained a lead of a dozcnlcnyths, but on going round the second i time Charcoal lessend the distance until within a length of Gladstone, in which order the race finished Louis Dor third. There is a large attendance on the course. The weather is comparatively line, Avith very little rain. Islesman and the Don are scratched, the handicapping being objected to. Nevertheless other horses carrying still heavier weights are starting. Owing to the scarcity of saddlery gear and light jockeys Cockie Avill run Avith 12st 41bs. Louis Dor lOst 311)s, Lottery lOst 3, Charcoal list 41b. It is therefore thought that Islesman might have been run to win. Gladstone and Charcoal arc the favourites, and McG'ce's horses are missed from the field. 2.30 p.m. The Papakura Handicap has just been Avon by Hippocampus, Derby second. Mr. Walter's horses had the race in hand from the start. Coming round the furze, Derby dropped a long way behind, but the oilier horses waited for him, and the three passed the stand together. Isaac and Hippo ran with apparent case just in front of Derby until Ayithin a feAv hundred yards of the Grand .Stand, when BoAvdcn pushed suddenly ahead. French called upon Isaac but lie did not respond, and the three horses passed the stand amid great excitement, Derby first ahead, until they readied within a feAv yards of home, when Cantell pushed the colts head in front of Derby, and Avon, Isaac third.

THIS EVENING.

The amu^em^nts of this evening are numerous nd choice. The Fountain of Friendship Lodge, of Oddfellows of tho Manchester Unity, will hold a grand ball in the Choral Hall. The first boat, Enterprise, took about 200 passengers to the island, and tit half past ten, the Oddfellows mustered in full force at the fire bell, in full regalia, and marched to the wharf, headed by the excellent band of the artillery, and the following officers of the established Order :-rC. Overton. N.G.: A. Aley, O. G.; C. AVright.P.G.: and Bros. S. Coombes, A. Smith, W. Meldrum, Deane, and Owen Mahon, who will act as M.C. at the ball. The Temperance Variety Troupe will assemble at the Newmarket Hall under Manager Sccats, and give one of their unique entertainments consisting of dance, song, music, and story. Some new talent will be introduced, and at the close of the programme, a quadrille party wlil form. The Free Templars will gather in the Lorne street Hall, and pass their anniversary in speech song, tea. and dancing. A good programme has been arranged. The Naval Brigade will give a varied enter tainment at Parnell Hall this evening of an excellent character. Judging from the pro gramme, which appears in another column, we anticipate a vocal and instrumental treat for the Parnell people in their classic hall.

STOKES POINT.

The settlers of Stokes' Point, or Woodside, were determined not to be behind the rest of f.be world in keeping holiday, and to-day have been enjoying themselves at the Point in a variety" of amusements, such as footracing, climbing the slippery pole for a silver watch, wheelbarrow race, jumping in sacks, quoits, and a donkey-race, Mr. Simpdoft acting as starter. The enjoyments were proceeding yigprmisly, encouraged by Messrs Hawkins, Wilson, and numerous other settlers. Swings on the old trees and other games were very grtifying to itte children.

SABBATH SCHOOLS.

This morniug at a v^vy p.arly hour the child ren of the varioi\s sabbath .schools began their move ments. The little ones, conducted by fheir teachers, assembled at the various school depot*, and then marched in order to the various places of amusement set apart for them.

The children soenied to be bent on fun and pleasure. Mr. Buddie did not forget his oharge. He and his teachers did their best to rovide in every way for the children's comfort.

The Cricket Match.

AXX-Ssglaad Cloven v Twenty Two of Auckland-

TIIK first thing that struck the visitor on arrival at the Cricket ground Avas the air of hustle that prevailed everywhere. The 10.30 train from Auckland brought the first batch of the public, and by each train large additiods were made, until at the time of adjournment for luncheon, there could not have been less than a thousand persons present, amongst "whom we noticed several of our most notable personages. The first news obtained on reaching the "round was that Pooloy had his eye "bunged" up by n mosquito the previous night. This is .a sad loss to the Eleven, as he without doubt is one of the most useful men of the team. However lie is determined to take his position in the Held (■wicket keeper), and do his host. In fact it is absolutely necessary for him to ds so, as Jupp lias been left behind in the colonies; so they are only the exact number strong. The first thing to he done was to visit the ground, and everyone was loud in their praise of the evident care that had been taken to get the wickets in as good condition as possible. To use one of the evpressfons of the All England Eleven, the ground was in excellent order, and far better than the usual run of grounds on which they had hitherto played. The late rains has made it nice and springy—not too much so, —and has enabled the roller to bring all tilings to an equality. From an early hour in the morning, members of the local team were busy " getting their eyes in," and later in the morning some of the Englishmen came out and did a little, but their practice was only conlined to fielding and bowling. There was little to be learnt of their abilities from this. At noon sharp, Robinson and Lillywhite tossed for choice, and Robinson winning, elected to take the field. After a short delay, during which the ground was cleared of the public, Shaw and Charl wood took the wickets, amidst the cheers of the crowd and the twenty-two; Chnrl- Avood receiving tin; first ball from Buckland. the third of Buckland'a first over (Jharhvood, marked on the slips i'or one. Robinson took up Bowling from Southern!, and seems Avell on with nice medium pace and opened with a maiden. Buckland second over Avas a maiden, proving that both bowlers and batters were not yet avcll acquainted Avitli each other. The iirst of Robinson's second over, Churlwoodjgot away to long leg for 3 Robinson's last, (Jleeson at long-stem let go for one, Buckland's first of this 4th over, show out for one. The remainder of the over borught forward nothing. Robinson followed with another maiden. Evidently caution Avas the play with the two at the wickets. Buckland delivered his second maiden. The first of Robinson's fifths fiver, Shaw got away to square leg for 3. The last ba]l Charhvood put to long on for 1. Charlwood got the third of Robinson's next over away ill the slips for 3. Up to this time the Held have not had very much to do except those im mediately next the wickets, bi.it Charhvood got the last of Robinson's lifth over away for 2 to leg. Another maiden followed irom Buckland. The last 4th of Robinson's sixth over, Charlwood put away to leg for 2. In Buckland's seventh over, >Shaw gave a chance to Stcadman in the slips, but being somewhat difficult, missed it. Unc was ob tained. Shaw got 2 oil' Robinson's second ball to long leg. The next ball he man aged to play into his wickets, lirst wicket for 20, Shaw making 73 steady play. ( Jreeu- Avood took the recent place, receiving the last ball from Robinson. Charlwood put a short pitched one from Buckland to guild: wicket for one. The secondof Robinson's Bth over, Charlwood put to leg for 2, following Avith the next ball in the same place. Oreenwood hit the best of Buckland's ninth over to leg for one, being very Avell iiclded by Carter. A Avell stolen run was obtained by (ireeiiAvood, by following up the ball after placing it between the wickets. Buckland's tenth resulted in a maiden. He was bowling well, and the batters treated him 'with extreme caution. Charlwood hit Robinson's first of his tenth over to square leg for one. All the runs off Robinson's were being put to the legs. One in the slips for Greenwood finished the over. Greenwood hit the first of Buckland's eleventh over to square leg, and through the fence for 4. Robinson's third, Charl wood nicked for one. Charhvood made one, and Greenwood folloAved suit off Buck land's: 12th over. Runs Avere coming very short, the outfield having little or nothing to do. Greenwood placed one to cover point for one oil" Robinson';; last ball. Greenwood gave some pretty exhibitions of forward play. Buckland's thirteenth over only produced one. In Robinson's thirteenth over he let a Avide go in, Charl wood smacked the first of Buckland's 14th over. On the slip being badly fielded by Lankham off Robinson, Charlwood got one. The two men were evidently getting avcll set. Gleeson let the first of Buckland's 15th past, one being got. Here Lankham took Robinson's place, the first ball being cut for one by Cijarlwood. Owing to rain coming on, an adjournment wag) made. On resuming, Charhvood and Greeuwopd, each made one off Buckland's 16th over. Lank hani's 2nd over Avas a maiden. Steedman took Buckland's end, and sent in a maider, LankUam's third, of his third over, was avcli cut by Charlwood i'or 2. TJierp was great complaining of the manner in which people were allowed to crowd round the scorers tent, much to their inconvenience, no one apparently being in authority to attend to such matters, and to keep the crowd outside the fence.

The Auckland team, on going into the field, posted ikeir men m follows ; —Lynch, long-on and sharp cover ; flacky, lphg^oii' and lonji-leg ; "V'ates, forward short-leg; Bucldand, bowler and short slip ; Mumford, forwaed point; Robinson, bowler and .short *]jji ; Suncox, mid-oft".

Daring Attempt at Burglary in Cabbage Tree Swamp.

COURAGEOUS CONDUCT OF A FARMER'S WIFE.

A most daring attempt at burglary is reported to have been made last night, at the residence of Mr. Joseph Wood, dairy man, in the Cabbage Tree Swamp Road, of which, as far as we have been able to learn the following arc the particulars : — It appears that the family of Mr. Wood retired to rest at an early hour on Sunday evening, and after having enjoyed undis turbed repose for .several hours, Mrs Wood ■was startled by hearing a noise in the children's bed-room. At first she thought it was some of the children moving about, and she called out " Lizzie," the name of one oilier daughters, but receiving no reply she ro.se from her bed, intending to go to see what was the matter. Just at this momenther own bed-room door was partially opened, and Mrs Wood, still thinking it was her daughter, who is afflicted, called her name again, but still received no response. Upon this she rushed towards the bed-room door, but as she reached it, it was drawn-to from the outer-side. Mr. Wood was now fairly aroused, and rose to assist in discovering what was the matter. Mrs Wood quickly drew open the door, just in time to observe the front door being suddenly pulled-to from the outside. Tliis she quickly re-opened, and at once learned the cause of the disturbance. She saw a man hurriedly moving away from the steps, intent on biding his person, so as to prevent identification. Whether he succeeded, he lias yet to learn. On making a further .search it was found that the house had been entered from the children's bed room window, and the front door had evi dently been opened so as to secure a double means of egress in the event of being dis turbed. That plunder was the object of this midnight raid there can be no doubt, and but for the promptitude and daring of Mrs Wood it. was yet possible 1 bat the object of the burglar might have been accomplished. As we are likely to hear more of this affair, we shall make no fur ther remark at present, but await the issue of events.

CABLEGRAMS.

LONDON, January 25. THE PRESS ON THE EASTERN

(QUESTION.,!

The Press considers that flic European Powers are bound to enforce 1 Fie demands made by the Conference.

At a great Cnnseivativc meeting at Liver. pool, Sir Stafford Northcotc, Chancellor of the Exchequer, insisted of England that peace should be conserved, and it was that feeling which guided the Covemmenfc in its policy regarding the Eastern Question. He denied the charges made that there was any jealous feelings towards Russia. Such statements wore only calculated to hamper any efforts at intervention on behalf of Christians in the Turkieh provincss. The Government carefully avoided any false policy of coercion, he thought the Porte acted unwisely in rejecting the proposals, but admitted that the Porte was free to choose its own course. No European Power would be justified in considering the rejec tion an insult. Mr. Asshcton Cross, Secre tary of State for the Home department, said he believed tho prospects of peace were better than they had been for months past.

The Rev. Mr. Tooth, vicar of Hutcham, has been imprisoned for defyinig a judg ment of the Court of Arches.

"RUN TO EARTH."

THE dramatised version of Miss Braddons " Run to Earth " was performed on Saturday evening at the Theatre Royal, in the presence of a goodly auditory. The story upon which the drama is found, like all Miss Braddon's' highly coloured writings, is highly sensational, more calculated to gratify a certain grade of taste, than to mend the manners or improve the heart. The story is made of mystery and incident, in connection with an orphan girl, a wealthy baronet, a marriage, a series of crime, and a murder, which the writer has a special liking for. A great deal of the success of the play, depends upon the heroine, Miss Ron a, who executed her several characters with much cleverness and SKill. The villain was impersonated by Mr Maeder, whose impersonation of Victor Card ington was exact and lifelike. .Messrs Searle, llolloway, and the actors generally sustained their parts wjth fair ability; This evening, to suit holiday f oiks, a suitable piece will be brought forward entitled " Across the Continent," a (iraina which lias had an extensive run in other lands, the programme of which appears in another column.
