'left shoulder as if to gauge his opponent, s position. He had as it Avere felt him in the preA-ious spurt, and putting on a little more steam, clrew alongside. There Avas an effort to keep the other boat ahead, but it was only for a moment, Trickett Avas not to be shaken off, and ere a mile ami a half had been roAved the contest Avas virtually over, as Trickett Avas a clear length in front, rowing with apparent ease, Avhilst Rush Avas already labouring greatly. _ Before the Hen-and-Chickens Avere reached?! he Austra lian AA-as at least six lengths ahead, when suddenly he Avas seen to cease pulling, much to the consternation of his friends. The cause was, hoAvever, speedily apparent—he A\-as merely waving an acknoAvledgement of the first hearty sound of cheers he had received. ' As ho passed One-man wharf he was simply paddlin?, and again stopped to wave his hands to friends ashore. This Avas re peated -Avice before he reached Bedlam Point. Avhere at least 10,000 pairs of lungs gave vent to a perfect tempest of cheers as the champion .lOAved leisurely by, AA'ith Rush some five or six lengths astern pulling a game stern chase. In the last feAV hundred yards Trickett showed the best piece of roAving he did during the match, and, increasing his lead a length or two, finally shot by the ITagboat at 4 hours 4 minutes 56 3-10 seconds. Rush, aa*lio avus very much exhausted, at the finish, and had 'to contend with broken water, came in 22 seconds later. The affair Avas so com pletely one-sided for the last two miles that it can hardly be termed a race. Time from -start to finish, taken by achionograph lent by Messrs. Allerding and Son, 23 minutes 26 3-10 seconds. The winner avus piloted by William from a four-pair, and Green did a similar service for the loser from a six-pair. The stakes will be paid over at Punch's Hotel, this evei-dng.

CHALLENGE TO BE SENT TO ENG-

LAND

The -* Herald" in the comments on the race says :—Tavo things have been satis factorily demonstrated by the result of the race. In'the first place, it has proved that the sliding-seat, if properly used, is an immense advantage over the old stele ; and, secmdly, that the English trainers impart to their pupils a finish worthy the imitation of colonial mentors. Henry Kelly de serves all that Trickett has acknoAvledged he OAvedtohis tution and training. Rush, a type of physical force, and traditional notions, met a less powerful man, representing the scientific result of modern experience, and, as usually happens, strength waged an un equal 'contest AA'ith science. The English sporting papers will be spared the necessity of making further appeals for subscriptions to pay the expens'S of sending Boyd or any representative rower of equal prowess to endeavour to win back old ■England's lost laurels. If what we were informed on Saturday evening is correct— and avc believe it to be so —it is that a cablegram will go to London to-day, challenging Boyd, or any othe__ per son, now holding the championship of the'mother country, to come here and row Trickett over the Parramatta River course for the sum of £1000 a side. In the event of this challenge being accepted, £?>OO Avill be paid to defray the Englishman's expenses. If an offer oi this character does not resultjin a contest, no reasonable induce ment -will bring it about.

AUCKLAND HARBOUR BOARD.

" Woe unto you, ye blind guides)

(To the Editor of the Stab.)

SIR, —Every case, bale, or other commodity that passes through the hands of our shippers or lumpers has to contribute to the revenue of the above Board. This brings it home to every working man, however humble, and you sec it is also necessary for the shipowners to form an association for their protection against extortionate port charges. The Board lias borrowed money at 6' per cent, amd lioav has it been spent ? Not in useful Avorks. Look at the abortion of a dredge, and the three silt punts—neither use nor ornament —yet they cost nine thousand pounds, and we have to provide the interest of the money Avhile they rot before our eyes. In raising salaries they are unanimous. Well, let them have it. Perhaps in time they may form a parallel to the foiloAA'ing story Avhich came into my head after read ing the report of the election of chairman : A.'poor old horse, past labour, covered with sores, and tormented Avith flies, Avas met by a fox. " Poor old horse," said the fox, -'what you must stiller, let me brush the flies off Avith my rail," "In God's name" said the horse, ''Let them alone ; those that are there are full and satisfied, if you brush them off I shall be fastened on by ten thousand hungry devils, avlio will suck the very life's blood from me." If a few more stone Avails are built with the money Aye all have to pay the interest of, there Aviil be very little'left to complete the works at present under hand. At the present rate it Avill take all our failing revenue to pay salaried. —Yours, &c., Duke Humphrey.

THE INQUEST.

—THIS DAY.

AN inquest aa'us held this afternoon on the body of a little boy, aged 2 years and 10 months, named William John Given, be fore Dr. Philson, and a jury, at the Naval and Family Hotel, Karangahape Road. Mr James Davis, foreman. Sub-Inspector Pardy conducted the enquiry on the part of the police. Sub-Inspector Pardy stated that he had not had time to get up the necessary evidence, and as there \vere a great many rumours about res pectins the accident, he Avas desirous of gutting at the real facts of the case.

Dr Philson said that it was necessan", also, to have a post-mortem examination. The enquiry Avas therefore adjourned until Wednesday next, at two o'clock. The particulars of the accident may briefly be stated. The little boy was out Avith his mother in the morning in the Karanga hape Road, Avhen he Avas run over by a horse and cart belonging to Mr John son, a baker in the neighbourhood, unobserved by his mother. The horse was driA'cn by a young man, about twenty, named John Stow. The accident Avas not seen by any person, but immediately after the passing of the cart, the child was seen lying in the road by a Avoman, avlio immediately went to the boy's ossistance, and picked him up. Observing that the child Avas iniured, the mother's attention Avas called to the accident, and tho child com'eyed home. The little fellow Avas in great pain, and lhe assistance of Dr Young Avas called in, but all efforts to save life proved unavailing. The child died at 2 o'clock.

This Company is organised in response to the Avish of a large number of capitalists.merchants, and others, who have already promised a con siderable amount of support.and with the intent of offering to the general body of the public, a further opportunity of becoming as far as possible, their own insurers. The increase of insurable property in this Colony has been *k_ rapid that there is. in th c opinion of the promoters, amplo scope for the operations of another Company. The Fire and Marine Insurance Companies already formed have met with such great and unvarying success, that it is quite unnecessary to refer to the profitable nature of such under takings, but it may be pointed out that this Colony is subject to natural conditions singularly faA*ourable to insurance business. One of the most important considerations involved, is the distribution of risks, which is here secured through tho division of population, and, conse quently, of insurable preperty amongstnumerous centres as yet bdt sparsely occupied. The large proportion of substantial buildings now being erected may also be noted as a feature favour, able to the limitation of risks in this enterprise One of the most profitable branches of Marine Insurance is in interprovincial and intercolonial business, a large proportion of Avhich the pro moters have reason to rely upon. In the allot_ent of shares, the Provisional Directors Avill endeavour to secure an equitable distribution throughout the Colony, so as to combine a poAverful association of investors for the security of the assured, together Avith per sons likely to influence business. Agencies will bo ODene d throu-rhout the colony as speedily as possible, and local Directors ap pointed. The Chief Office is established atOhristchurcb, The following gentlemen will hold office as Director- until the first annual meeting, when they will retire in accordance Avith the articles of Association:—Messrs J.
