SUNDAY TRADING.

•-•"■ (To the Editor of the STAR.) SIR,— Having arrived in Auckland from a long journey I went!into a small refresh mehtshop on the wharf, and asked for a biscuit and bottle of ginger-beer. I was informed they "could hot serve me, as they had been warned by the police that if they sold on. Sundays they would be proceeded against. Still, on my walking towards Newton, I saw* side.doors of hotels open and people coming out.. Which do you think the worst? Surely this must have been . some over-zealous constable who warned those people, as such an order could never, I think, have originated from head-quarters. If so, Aucldand has different laws from any other place. I hope, sir, by your making a remark on this it will be the means of having the question tried; can a shop situated on a wharf, chiefly for the accommodation of travellers and sailors, be prevented from selling on Sundays ?—Yours, respectfully, James Hutchinson. Sale-street, Newton. Undoubtedly it can. Sunday trading is an offence under municipal law as well as under the common law of England, operative in this colony. The question has lately been raised in England under circumstances which are thus narrated by the " London Times : " At a meetiner of the committee of the Working Men's Lord's Day Rest Asso ciation, the following resolution respecting the new Criminal Code Bill and the Lords Day Act was unanimously agreed to: " That the statute 21 .George'lLL, cap. 49, which prohibits the opening of any place of amuse ment or entertainment for money payment on the Lord's Day, has been of incalculable value in preserving to the people Sunday as a day of rest, from labour '; and that to repeal or weaken this Act would be to give imme diatesanctiontotheSunday openingfor trad ing purposes of innumerable places of amuse ment in all parts of the country, involving Sunday labour in many departments of trade, Ito the great in jury of many, especially the working clashes. This committee therefore hopes that Her Majesty's Government will persist in retaining sections 109 and 114 _of the new Criminal Code Bill, aDd thus main tain an Act which does so much to se cure to the people the great blessing ot one day's rest in seven." At the meeting of the committee of the Sunday Society, held last night, under the presidency dKPf gSfessor W. H. Corfield,' the folio wing resolution was passed unanimously -.'—"That this com mittee is glad to learn from the reply of the Home Secretary to the resolution passed at its last meeting, that no change in the law, at any rate in the direction feared by this committee, is contemplated by the Govern ment.]

THE GREY HORSE PULVERISED AT TAUPIRI.

Yesterday a highly sensational rumour was current, to the eifect that the early morning cattle train from Waikato had chased a troop ot horses out of Newcastle, and had driven them fall speed along the line to Taupm, knocking them over Stewart's Bridge. On inquiry ltia evident that the raihourwas exaggerated, so tar as it related to the engine-driver having steamed after the horses. The usual care wos exercised, but on nearing Tairpiri, a dapple-grey horse ran on the open bridge known as Stewarts, and was literally cut to pieces ; various portions Of the animal; being squeezed through the bridgework, fallins into the waters of the creek. It is stated thatone of the tiss of the bridge gave way during the cruahias; up of the horae- The engine ■was the lvanhoe. and does not appear to have had the protection of a cow-catchw.. It is, perhaps, unkind to refer to cow-catchers after the strictures published on Saturday, but the Star's warning note will ring m the ears ot responsible parties if engines or trains come to grief through the lack of precautionary measures. The slaughter ot cattle is too common an occurrence to be 'nentioned, and the pulveri sation of the dappled-grey is only alluded to m connection with tne cow-catcher question. It is upon bridges that most' of the steam cattle killing operations are conducted, and we only hope the performance will not be varied by the bones of some tou«h old bull causing a devia tion in the pro-rress of the train. Until the line be thoroughly fenced in, every possible precau tion is required. Perhaps the constant re currence of cattle slaughtering shows an impera tive necessity for the fencing to be done.

We have subiected a sample of the above named article to a very careful chemioal analysis and examination. The results of the analysis, which are set forth in a separate report, show that this; apirlt is of good strength, practically free from acidity, and that it contains but traces of solid" matter in solution. It possesses a dulicate and agreeable aroma, and a pure and mild taste. Mr. Hart's Schiedam Schnapps is a vejy superior article of its class, is well purified, and quite genuine. (Signed) Arthur H.

It has a pure fragrant odour, and is absolutely free from any trace of fusil or other injurious impurity, and has evidently been distilled from superior rye grain, always used instead of malt in the production of the choicest qualities of Schnapps.
