word on tbe rowing races iv connection with the Regatta, It, liar, been found by experience that -ailing matches and rowing contests cannot bo welt brought, off on the same day. .YeaFior which is .suitable for one will be quite unsuitable for the other. Why not then have tho '29th of January reserved for tlie sailing races and let another day be appointed for the rowing matches. The Regatta Committee would do well to take the hint and pass ;: resolution on the subject.

THE INDIAN FAMINE.

PUBLIC MEETING TO ORGANISE AN AUCKLAND RELIEF FUND. Ij. accordance with advertisement a public meeting was held at noon to-day, iv the hall of the Insurance Buildings, to concert measures for organising a fund to be devoted. to the relief of the thousands suffering from the famine in Southern India. At the time appointed nearly a hundred gentlemen, representing the most iniiuential people in Auckland, had assembled. Among those present Aye noticed ihe fol lowing -.—Thos. Morrin, Captain Daldy, Jas. Russell, Very Rev. Father Fynes (V.G.), J. Cosgrave, C. J. Stone, B. Tohks, J. M. Dargaville, J. Y. Stevenson, J. L. Wilson, A. Heather, Chambers, Sec, Sec The meeting of the Diocesan Synod kept away a large number who would otherwise have been present. PHis Worship the Mayor, on the motion of Mr Firth, was voted to the chair. His Worship first read tlie requisition, and then read two letters, one from Rev. K. S. Hassard, and one from Dr Kender dine (the latter enclosing a £5 note), both expressing regret at the writers not being able to lie present. He then Avent on to say that the famine had boon brought under his notice chiefly by a telegram sent to Wellington by the Lord Mayor of London, and forwarded to Auckland asking for colonial relief. Subscription lists had already been opened, but it had been thought advisable to supplement these by a public meeting. Human lives were at stake, and that being so, he trusted that Auckland would keep up her name for generously contributing to the relief of tlie distressed,and would liberally respond to the call. He would call upon Mr Filth to move the first resolution. Mr Firth said these famines ill India were no neAV thing. In 1856', one famine killed half-a-million of people. In 1874, the Bengal famine Avas very destructive. The present famine Avas more serious than either, as it extended over a much larger extent of country. Lord Salisbury had stated that this fam.ne av.xs much more difficult to deal with, from the compara tively scattered condition of the Population, and the absence of good road and raihvay communications. It was estimated that 20,000,000 would be reduced to distress by this dearth. The question was, what was to he done to relieve these people? It might he said, why were these famines so continually recurring? The speaker ascribed tAvo reasons. One was the destruction of the forests. In years gone hy provision had oeen made for these famines by the old Indian dynasties, by building great "rigation works and storehouses, which remained as remarkable instances of their engineering skill aud foresight. It was ci 7 much to the disgrace of the East India Company that they had suffered auy of these works to fall into disuse, kjneethe country had fallen into the hands °t the English -Government tlic.se works *ere being restored, and when they } Yerc completed they would do much i? prevent such famines in future. tte va. quite sure fl'ae need not appeal to

lh:3in in vain, living as they were under genial skies, and enjoying the early and latter rains, to respond to the cry for assis tance. He would, therefore, move the following resolution -. "That subscription lists be opened for the relief of tlie sufferers by famine in Southern India," Mr B. Tonks seconded the resolution. Tlie people of Auckland might have faults, but want- of charity was not one of them, and lie was sure they would be to the fore iv the present emergency. There were several reasons why the people of India had a claim upon them. One was, that they were fellow subjects with themselves, another was. that the people of Auckland were so blest with their genial climate that they ought to give of their plenty to tlie relief of their suffering brethren. The speaker quoted two passages from tho special correspondent of the " Times " to show tlie magnitude of the calamity. According to this authority IS millions of people were suffering from want, lie could goon for a considerable time giving 1 hem reasons why they should come" forward in the present emergency, hut he had said enough, and lie should most gladly second the resolution. No "other gentleman coming forward to speak, the resolution was put, and declared to he carried unanimously. The Chairman next called upon Mr Dargaville. Mr Dargaville said he observed that most of his hearers were business men. and therefore lie would not Trouble them with a long speech. One fact he would call to their attention. It had been calculated that every £5 which Avas sent from here would save a human life. Hoping that they would hear this iv mind he would move "That the following gentlemen he ap pointed a committee to make the necessary arrangements :—his Worship, tlie Mayor, MessrslViks, Brett, Cosgrave, Stephenson, Daldy, Nathan. J. L. Wilson, A. Heather, C. J." Stone, Boy lan, J. L. Campbell, with power to raid to their number." Captain Daldy, who appeared to he ill, in rising to second said it was no time to talk, it'was time to be doing. He hoped th ut this subscription would be ex tended over all the province, and also that it would be taken n;. by the various religious d .nomination ,a. it was eminently a Christian work in which all should join. (; ieor hear). The chairman was about to pin the mo. ion, when Mr Tonks suggested that Father Fvnes' name f.ho.ild be added to the list of committee. This was adopted. Mr Ewington said he thought the addil ion of Father Fynes' name was a mistake. There were no other clergy on the list, nnd it' might possibly be* construe;! into an offence by the clergy of tho other denomina tions. Several gentlemen spoke against this view of the addition, the general opinion being that all denominations would gladly co-operate with the movement. Father Fynes said he should beg that his name should be withdrawn. He should do quite as much outside the committee as on it, and as it was possible that his name might be a stumbling block to the good eausc, he would ask that it might be re moved. ! The second resolution was put and carried unanimously. Mr Ewington explained that his objection was taken through no iliwill to Father Fynes. (Hear, hear.) The second resolution was then put, and carried unaniisionsly. Mr F. G. Ewington was elected hon see. of tlie Fund. A subscription list was laid upon the table and several gentlemen at once ap pended their names. It was arranged that the Commiitee should hold their first meeting at tlie City- Council Chamber (placed at their disposal !>y tiie Mayor) to-morrow morning at 11 o'clock. The meeting then separated. The following is the list of subscriptions .s it stood at the conclusion of Lie meeting : T. C. Firth, £50 :W. S. & J. L. Wilson, £50 :A. Clark Se Sons, £25; Owen and Graham, £23; T. .;> S.
