But for all that, the name will do very well, and Thereby confer the neAv appellation upon Mr AlcGee, and have no doubt it Avill stick to him. I mi^lit make much of the quibbles AA'hich "General Washington" indulges in. He tries to make capital out of the statement that Con nau"ht Ranger could only run third in a Hack Hurdle llace, Avith Sst oibs, and then had list •'lbs assigned him in the Auckland Steeplechase, as if it were the absolute and not the relatiA'e weights which had all to do with handicapping. He says also Elsa had only olbs taken off her in I the Birthday Handicap, but he is silent as to j Bide-a-wee and Ariel having then imposts raised 71bs and lib respectively, thus making the difference 121bs in the one case and Gibs in the other. The fact of which he makes such a j mouthful, of Shanneen getting in the Birthday ] on 21bs better terms with regard to Elsa than in the Autumn Handicap, although the gelding finished before her in the Birthday, simply shews that the handicapper shared the general opinion that while Shanneen rau honestly to his form on the first day Elsa did not. The letter in short is as full of misstatements aud prevarica tions as it can Avell be. Mr Owen McGce's idea that Mr Handley should haA'e implicitly accepted ' his version of the Taranaki race is rather rich. : In conclusion, Mr ivlcGee gives us a splendid illustration of the contending influences that j sway his bosom, and render him the inconsis- • tent man he is. He caUs May Moon " the J Wonder of the North." Ho cannot help having a blow over the little mare himself, but when I the handicapper shows that he concurs Avith hira as to her capabilities, he turns round and j blackguards him. I still say Fair Play is a Jeavel. i

THE CITY SUPPLEMENTARY LOAN.

To the Editor of the Ea'ENing Star. Sik,—lf it be true, as stated, in your columns on Saturday, that the City Council is moving to get another loan bill through the Assembly, why is it that the subject has never been publicly discussed at the ordinary meetings. The question seems to be Avhether the Council shall accept the Bank or the legislature as its authority. By going to the London market Avith a bill, securing the supplementary loan on the same terms as the loan noAV selling for £100 to £108, the city might rely upon getting it Avell placed. The fact that our Avaterworks debentures Avere sold at 98, Avhile Nelson, Wanganui, and other- New Zealand toAvns of less importance, obtained far and above, is not Aery creditable to the financial prudence of the Council. Is it true that the Corporation, by failing to avail itself of the powers granted by the Assembly has been forced to incur a large overdraft AA'ith heavy interest. It is characteristic of our public bodies, that while quarreiiing OA'er a few pence they alow hundreds of pounds to go by tho board. If the Bank of New Zealand throvvs'obstructions in the way of the loan, the Council should con sult other banking institutions before risking a loss of thousands of pounds to the city, because the English debenture holders know tSiey have a good thing, and A-vant to keen it to themselves. Yours, etc.—Ratepayer.

RECKLESS CONTRACTING.

(To the Editor of the EVENING STAR.) Sir,—l beg through your columns to call the attention of parties interested to the system of reckless contracting at present in vogue among a certain class of persons, Avliom avc Avill call by courtesy contractors —save the mark!— This system has been brought under my notice, as Avell as that of many others, by the three contracts ten dered for at the last meeting of the City Council, viz., Avorks in Queen, Grey, and Eden-streets, when the amount of the accepted tenders did not reach the price of the material to be used, consequently, leaving no margin whatever for labour or profit. Noaa', sir, I consider, Avith all due deference to the better judgment of the gentlemen Avhom our city delighted to Jionor, that they are greatly to blame in accepting those tenders, and thus giving encouragement to a system of reckless trading—for it is nothing else—aud so iniiicting an injustice, not only on the rate payers, but also on the bona fide contractors, Who know their business, and mean to do it. It reaches the former through the contractor being inclined to scamp his work, by either faulty material or labour ; and the latter by his loss of time, labour, and money in getting up a proper tender, Avhich is ren dered useless, not by another fair tender, but by one so immeasurably beloAV, as to raise a smile at the tenderer's polly, or indignation at his unmitigated cheek. It is all very Avell to say the deposit as surety will be forfeited, but hosv is it to be when the surety Avill not cover the balance to complete the work according to the specification, as in the instances named ? Like a noble Roman of ancient times " I pause for a reply." 1 would respectfully suggest that for the future every tender be referred to a street or other committee, and that one be accepted, Avliich may, in the opinion of that committee, assisted by the engineer, be the one Avhose amount would finish the Avoik in a satisfactory manner. Any tenderer soliciting the interest of any member of said committee to forfeit his deposit. You Avill perfectly understand that in the above I am not alluding to all contractors, but simply to those avlio do not Avhen tendering take into consideration, the Avhole bearing of IaAV and the profits.—Yours, Sec, An Old Identity. [Only in very exceptional instances Avould the Council bo justified in refusing _ the lowest tender, Avhen it fulfils the conditions. To depart from this principle Avould open the Avay to endless injustice and abuse.— Ed E.S.]

THE LICENSING QUESTION AT KAIPARA.

(From our oavii Correspondent.)

Now that the Licensing Courts haA-e adjudicated upon tho various applications. I am at liberty to express an opinion on the position assumed by the Temperance community. The principal attack has been made upon the Kaipara houses, from Kaihu to Kaukapaitapa. Mr Raynes, pro prietor of the Kaihu Hotel, Avas complimented by the Chairman of the Court, held at Kaipara, on the excellency of his house. At an extreme distance from the city, this hotel, neA"ertlieless, possesses most admirable suites of rooms, anil is a really good house. Travellers are the best judges of the comparative merits of hotels, and they, eveu to clergymen, testify to this and others in Wairoa being- well-kept licensed houses. As the house in Kaukapakapa Avas afterwards tawed by Mr Coleman to be out of Kaipara district, I Avill confine further remarks to the Wairoa aud Albertland houses and ports of call. The nearest of the latter is Port Albert, the very name of which, singular to relate, excites the ire, pity, or else the contempt of Wairoa people. This landing place has no note!, and travellers, land seekers, aud A-isitors haA'e but one description to give of the accom modation afforded to a stranger arriving there. The lirst visible object is the skeleton of a building under which reposes the skeleton of a defnnct schnapper. These two skeletons b^ve remained in statu quo for a long period, the building was started some ye u-s ago in a oment of teetotal enthusiasm, when it Avas eeided to build a coilfe3 and lodgin^-hou?'* to c open for travellers. An excellent idea if it

had been backed up by anything more sub stantial than theory. The bare poles were put up, and bloAvn down; erected again, and there they stick—a monument of Port Albert temper ance principles ! While the teetotal grass groAvs, the human steed starves; Avhile theory is developing,', travellers mourn the absence of corporeal rest and nourishment when they arrive at Port Albert. In Mr Gubb's great exertions on behalf of the temperance opposi tion to licensing Kaipara houses there is much to applaud, Avhile his good-tempered way of receiAdng his defeat Avon for him the good feelings even of those opposed to his action. I question, however, the propriety of attacking; the respectable public-hou3e kept by Mr Raynes at Kaihu, or other houses in the Kaipara district. If the same energy Avere applied to the building of a house of accommo dation at Port Albert, there might be some chance of the district being released from its present notorious name for inhospitality and wretched means of accommodating travellers. Charity begins at home. Let Port Albert set a practical example and provide the great desideratum—a positive remedy or substitute for hotels—and sheAv ttie world Avhat superior resorts ior travellers and visitors a teetotal district can otter over that of a licensed victu aller s district. The late dispute over the Kaipara licenses is the second case of the kind. .Last year a memorial Avas draAvn up, but as it AA'as presented only five days before the sitting ot the Court, it was not acknoAvledged. On this present occasion both counsels fought ably for their respective sides. Mr Coleman contested his position inch by inch, and throughout the case he Avon the good opinion of all in Court by vis courteous and polite demeanour. Mr .Laishley. the victorious counsel, Avas much complimented on his able conducting of the case on behalf of the applicants. Captain bymonds, the chairman of the Court, expressed hi 3 desire to alloAV all sides a fair and impartial hearing, ihefirst signatures to the petition Avere of res pectable residents within the district of Kaipara put after looking a few feet down the memorial there were several yards signed by residents of Waiupu. Altogether the paper containing the names measured 300 inches in length, and AA'as spread along the Court-house floor, to thejaston isnment of the people in Court. This prodigious looking document, cost an equally prodigious amount of labour to develop. Mr Gubb rode 360 miles in about a fortnight to obtain the signa tures, and he appears to have ridden at such a tremendous speed as in his haste to haA-e gal loped unconsciously out of his proper district, and captured the names of 211 Waiupu people, avlio Avere outside the Kaipara district, and consequently haA-e no A-oice in the granting or otherwise of the Kaipara licenses. In Albert land South the population Avas 91 adults—he obtained 71 of their signatures; Albertland Aorth, population, 30, signatures obtained, 20 ; MangaAvai. population, 11, signatures, 11; Te Arai, population 11, signatures 22; Pukekoroa, population ;about 10, signatures 35; Maungato roto, population 60, signatures, 35; Paparoa, pop - illation 86, signatures 17 ; Matakohe, population 50, signatures 33: Tahoa, population 03, signa tures 18 ; Wharehine, pop. 38 ; signatures 35.

INQUEST ON THE BODY OF MRS. SCULLEN.

An inquest en the body of Mrs Scullen AA'as held at three o'clock, in the Robert Burns Hotel, Union-street, before Dr. Philson, Coroner, and a jury of 13, of Avhom Murdoch McLean, jun., avus chosen foreman.

Sergt. -Major Mason conducted the inquiry on behafl of the Police.

The jury having vieAved the body, the folloAving evidence Avas adduced :— Dennis Scullen, an old man, deposed: I am a carptnter, residing in Union-street. The deceased, Mary Scullen, aged about 63 years, _ was my Avife. Deceased had been suffering for some time from pains in her chest and knee. She also had a slight cough. She had been subject to epileptic fits for the last 30 years. These fits generally continued for 20 minutes. Yes terday she was in pretty good health, but before going to bed complained to me that her knee was SAvelled. She went to bed about ten o'clock last night. She had had no drink previous to her going to bed. I was in bed about a couple of minutes before my wife. Some time after avc had retired to rest—about ten minutes —decease d turned round to me and said, " Denny, I'm going to be sick," meaning that a fit Avas coming on her. I got up an lighted a candle. She looked very ill, and I believed her to be dying. She was foaming at jthe mouth. Her mouth was wide open and she could shut it. I ran for assistance, and called in my next door neighbour. When I returned she seemed to be dead. I then proceeded for medical assistance, and succeeded in getting Dr. Bayntun to accompany me home. He examined the deceased, and said she was dead. Ido not remember the deceased taking any drink since Cnristmas. The last food taken by her Avas [at half-past five, Avhen she had some baked pork, bread, and tea. She bad about seven children during her life. I believe that her death Avas caused by an epileptic fit. She had a similar fit to this last month. She complained of a pain at her heart. I Avas quite sober last night. Dr F. T. Bayntun deposed : —I atttended the deceased on one occasion about 18 months ago, and I have known her slightly for a number of .years. On that occasion I attended her for several days. Last night, at a few minutes to 11 o'clock, I avus called to visit her at her own house, by the last witness. He Avas quite sober. »-j.On reaching the house I found the Avoman lying on her back, dead in the same position as it is hoaa-. Her head Avas resting on the right side, as if she Avas asleep. The body was warm, and Avell nourished. There was no froth or blood at the mouth. There Avas no matter vomited. I could not detect any smell of liquor about the body. There Avas no appearance of suffication. I could not ob serve any marks of A'iolence on the body. Her husband was the only one in the room. when I resisted her, but there were several persons in the next room. It is probable that she might have been attacked AA-ith an epileptic fit. I believe that death aviis caused by epilepsy. I have no suspicion of 'poison having been administered.

AUCKLAND WATERWORKS LOAN.

(To the Editor of the STAR)

SIR, —I read Avith much interest your able article of Saturday on this subject, and as a ratepayer I decidedly object to further loss being throAvn on the community from any crotchet of the Rank of Ncav Zealand. Our taxes at present are most burdensome, and avc can ill afford to sustain a further loss in the floating of this loan. By the Act of IS7-1 it is clearly stated that the Corporation can borrOAV any sum of money required for the completion of the Avorks. If the Bank in floating the £100,000, gave any pledges that no further sum should be raised by deben tures, they exceeded their poAvers. But suppose avc adopt the vicAV of the Hank, fia |. •; i jing the £2 5,Q00 by debentures Avould lie in contravention of the understanding come to with the debenture holders of the £100,000. What would their position be in the event of the £2"-,oOOJicing raised in mortgage of the Avorks ''. Simply that in the event of any uuforsecii difficulty occurring, the mortgagees could appoint a receiver, and take possession of tiie plant, and would not this very materially damage the security of the debenture-holders, Avithout at all improving the position of the mort gagees. The only reason that Avould at all justify a loan on mortgage Avould be, if the security hypothecated to the debenture holders of the £100,000 Avas found to be insufficient, and it is unquestionable that the security is ample to cover Avith loans, and a special Act was passed last session, agree ing AA'ith this. As indicated by you, the £100,000 loan now stands in the London Market at £10S, and I think it is very likely that the £25,000 could uoav be floated at par, as against the £100,000, at £91 and £9G. Yours, etc.,—CITIZEN.
