FIJI NEWS.

[Via Sydney;] BY the s.s. Rotorua we have Fiji papers to November Bth. From the " Times of that: date we cull the following items :— H.M.S. Nymphe arrived from Tonga.on Sunday last. She will leave for Bua about the middle of the month, taking the Lieu tenant-Govenier to the meeting of chiefs there. The steamer Black Swau arrived from Na duri, Macuata, on Saturday last, with one of the largest, cargoes she has ever carried in Fiji. All availableispace below was filled with produce, and a large quantity carried on the Seek. The ladies' cabin was filled with cotton in bulk. We understand this pro duce is contributed as taxes by the natives of Macuata, who thus have made up the amount of their assessment for the yea*— £ •''OOO The Colonial Secretary and Mr Butt, manager of the Bank of New Zealand, were the only passengers. The City of Melbourne brought down this time a number of piles for the purpose of carrying on the T end of the new wharf, which has at last leached the required distance of 140 feet from the end of the fitoue work. The piles now necessary must, be over 50 feet long, allow ing 15 feet to be driven, 25 feet water at hAi tide, and the wharf then 12 feet above the surface of the water ; in all at least 52 feet. Stringy bark ia the wood now being used. „ . , The Bank of New Zealandis now hms-ned, and both inside andoof.u f. looks very well. The pillars of the verandah aud sides of the building have been sanded over the paint, giving the aspect of stone. Not only does it add to the appearance of the place, but we believe that in New Zealand it has been found to greatly assist in preserving the ■wood. . . Mr Service denounced the mission to tug land as the most foolish undertaking that had ever been proposed in any country, and was withoutprecedent in auy English-speak ing community j and he expressed an opin ion that an agreement could easily be ar rived at hero. Mr Gillies told the electors to beware of the men who had always the people ou their lips, and their own interests iv their hearts.

CRICKET IN AUCKLAND.

SitfCE the evor-mpmorable trip of the Auckland crirketiacr team through the various provinces of the colony—when they succeeded la winning for Auckland the premier position in New Zealar.d ao far as crinket was concerned-since that time our laurel 3 have been fading; ana although not altogether gone, we cannot now claim the prestige which we then enjoyed. The interfering space of time haa brought many changes, and of that successful teamweha\>e now very few representatives left. The sreat interest caused in cricket at tbe time sub sequently suffered a ie'apse. and this was due. in a large measure, to tho non-formation or me Albert Barracks Reserve into a cricket ground, Where cricketers mightapend an hour or morein practice each evening. Thia would have had tne ettect of keeping players in form, and would have brought out many new bowlers and batsmen. That tho Domain is too far out of town to become a favourite ground for practice has been fre quently demonstrated, and there aro not many enthusiasts sin the noble game who will trudge the distance after the business of tho day nas terminated, merely for the pui-pose of having an hour's play. However, there can no^ be but little doubt that, the interest felt in cricket by the youth of Auckland is steadily increasihsr.and this is plainly shown br the nnmber of new clubß which are spriDging iuto existence. Every Saturday afternoon the Domain Cricket Ground and Hollow are fahly alive with players engaged in matches.antl ev«ry available spot s-uitable foria wicket is speedily occupied; thus showing the urgent necessity easting for an extension of the cricket ground. (While on thi3 subificf. I would resnectfully urge upon the Domain Board the advisability of this exten sion, which would be a s<eat boon to rhe cricketing portion of the community genera.ly, and which would more than repay t^e outlay;at the same time earning the gratitude of all thO36 concerned). Th 3 effect of all this is becoming apparent in the increasing progress made in the art of cricketing in Auckland. The bowling and batting in the^ matches on Saturday afternoon is such a<s we have no reason to feel ashamed of; and although the-lie!clin£j ia frequently very loose, it will no doubt improve as the season advances. Auck land cricketers are well-known for loo^c field ing; but while they have improved somewhat in that respect, t.hay have not become as nearly perfect a* might be wished. They should bear in mind the fact that good fielding is quite as important, in a match as gpod batting and bow ling, and the only means of imoroving in neld ing is by paying proper attention to it at practice. The country clubs have also been lookimt up considerably lately, and some very good all-round pisy w«s exhibited m the match between Ep3Oin and Otahuhu. One of the most interesting matches recently was that between the eleven of the Auckland Cricket Club and eighteen youths selottedfrom various clubs by Mr W. W. Hobinson. This gentleman, who has always done his best to ad vance the cause of cricket in Auckland, deserves great praiae for his arrangement of this match, which was intended merely to briDg out young players. The result of the match was creditable to " our boys," who were able to show their more experienced opponents some very pretty and at the same time strong play. The batting of Axneil, McCormick, Cromwell, Lankham, jun., and othera, was remarkably good, and gave evi dence that with proper training, whicH wo be lieve will a=s far as possible be bestowed upon them, they will creditably fill the gaps left in th* ranks oC our cricketing representatives, and will if called upon, form a team suihciently strong to cope with the champions of the Southern provinces. Their bawling, and fielding too was reelly excellent, and some surprise was evinced that so much talent should have exist3d m our midst, and we unconscious of the fact. Now that the ice has been broken, it is to be hoped that the commendable example set by Mr W. . W. Robinson will be followed by the captains of all smaller clubs, who should always endeavour to bring out the young and retiring members of < he clubf That the match of Saturday will be the means of doing much good there is no doubt; and if the interest awakened is sustained,! can see no reason whatever to prevent Auckland from possessing a team capable of holding its own against any other in New Zealand, aye, or in the Australasian Colonies. _ Cover Point.

Since writing the above, I have bought a lot of fashionable White Hard Felt Hats, the wholesale price of which was 6s Bd. I bought them for—well, never mind what I bought them for.
