Mahurangi Agricultural Show.

[From Our Special Reporter.]

In our last night's issue the prize awards appear, and they should Jbe read as being Ist and 2nd prizes in the order in which the names are given. Mr Dibble's entire horse received Ist prize. For Best Pair of Horses, —Hood, Ist prize ; Hon. Devereux 2nd. THE DINNER.

Host Curtis provided the dinner in his commodious marquee. The repast was much praised, and consisted of every possible ■choice and variety of dishes, joints, pastry, jellies, dessert, &c. The Hon. Devereux pre sided, Mr McMurdo vice-chair. The usual loyal and patriotic toasts were given with musical honours by Curtis' Band, which also accompanied during the remainder of the toasts. The toast of the Premier, Sir George Grey, was enthusiastically received. In proposing " The Judges" Captian Rye alluded to the distance most of them had travelled to perform that duty, as last year Captain Eye advocated the holding of one large show for the North instead of a number of small districts onts with corres ponding small prizes. Mr Hoskins replied;'; he was pleased with Malmraugi, and with the very cordial re ception he had experienced. He was sur prised at the numerically poor show, and "urged friendly meetings in future to discuss means of increasing their Society's popu larity and strength. The horse stock was laot good ; but in cattle there was a most -decided superiority evident in their breed ing, and gentlemen living in the district, who had such good stock, deserved every en couragement. The judges' most difficult work had been with the sheep ; they had adopted an extreme course, in which the public supported them, and which consider ation would prove even to disappointed •exhibitors that the right thing had been done in time. Sheep bred from Lincolns liad been entered as Leicesters, and they disqualified all such. Mr Hoskings related .an instance ofa farmer breeding from a Lincoln ewe, and entering one year's lot as Lincolns, and the next lot as Leicesters. Their pigs were good. Waiuku had considerable credit for such, but they had not a better boar than the one-which took first prize. Locally manufactured implements were, a credit not only to the maker, but also to Mahuraugi. Mr Lewis, as judge of produce, responded for the produce department. Mr Badley also spoke. The Secretary read the list of judges' awards.

The Hon. Devereux had been requested to state that Messrs. T. and S. Morrin had promised to give £10 annually to the Mahurangi Society's Show, to be given as a prize for the best bull or heifer calf bred from their (Messrs. Morrins') stock. The health of the latter gentlemen was drunk amidst loud cheering. Mr Hoskings proposed "The Success ful Competitors." In doing so he took the opportunity of pointing out the necessity for wheat growing. Sheep had got down to a low commercial ebb, as was proved by the prices at last show. At Waiuku all the settlers were going in for a few acres of wheat with good results. Mahurangi settlers should do likewise. He would mention that J. C. Firth Esq. held out most liberal offers to settlers. He would advance seed wheat and take back the same amoiiut after harvest; or any desirous of changing seed could take theirs to the mill, and exchange it. In respond ing, as the most successful exhibitor, the Hon. Devereux alluded to breeds of cattle specially .suited to their district ; from experience iv the colonies he could recom mend the North Devon. He thought that the judges had very fa:rly adjudicated upon the competing stock, excepting iv the •case of his little bulL

• Mr Greenwood gave the " Unsuccessful Competitors." Mr Angove responded, remarking that he lad received for four exhibits, four prizes ; but, being 2nd class, supposed they did not count. He had said on a former occasion after having successively taken prizes, that he hoped the time was not far distant when iis cattle would be thought very little of. That time had come. He agreed with Captain Rye's country show proposal; also ■with the Hon. Devereux*s ; suggestion respecting North Devon cattte Their present stock was not the right class for "the feed ; they did not fatten well, and -were getting like bags of bones. He did not mean any disrespect to Captain Rye, but thought the cattle -were beginning to look too much like Tom Finn. (Great daughter). The " Agricultural Interests " was down to Mr Reyburn.

"The Visitors," by Mr Angove, re sponded to by Captain Rye. In the past he had not beeu a regular visitor ; in the .future he might be a permanent resident. " The Chair " was given by Mr Jordan. "The Hon. Devereux responded, proposing the vice-chairman's health, Mr McMurdo, -who replied in a capital speech. "The Host," from the chair, was Tesponded to by Mr Curtis in a charac teristic speech; and that of the "Press from the chair closed the proceedings, and the marquee was cleared for dancing.

POLICE COURT.—This Day.

(Before K. C. Barstow Esq., R.M.) DRUNKENNESS.

William Brian and Francois de Beauvoir Briesse were charged with drunkenness, -and fined 5s each.

PRINCE THAKABURY.

John Thakabury was charged under the 'Vagrant Act with being an habitual • drunkard and a rogue and vagabond. Prisoner said he was in the habit of • taking a drop frequently, but he could not understand how he could be a rogue and A legal definition of the term according to tlie Vagrant Act was explained to John ; • still he could not understand it. His Worship said that prisoner must be exceedingly fond of Mount Eden. He had been convicted sixty times in this Court, and had spent more than live years m Sub-Inspector Pardy said the Thames ■convictions against the prisoner were lengthy, and his occupation as premier hairdresser at Mount Eden was gone. His Worship said that prisoner must be taken care of, and ordered him to prison ior the term of six calendar months. YOUNG SCAMPS. Two boys, Benjamin Agnew and Thomas ■were brought up on charges of horse-steal ing, and absconding from the Naval Train ing School, Kohimaramara, on the 15th in stant. Sub-Inspector Pardy stated the case, and asked ior a remand in order that Captain Breton might be present. It appeared that the boys escaped from the school yesterday morning, and that they inMit facilitate their purpose, mounted two horses, value £3, the property of Tuhatihe, a native, of Orakai, and rode off at a fear -ful rate in a half nude state. The native mounted another horse, and hastened after the boys, when Agnew's horse stumbled -and he was cast head-foremost into a bunch or furze^and before he could remount was caught and obliged to surrender. Quran s horse became exhausted and laid down when young Quiun bolted into a mass oi titree where he was found. The case 3 were remauded until Monday.

ST. STEPHEN'S SOIREE.

A SOIREE in connection with the induction of the Rev D. W. Runciman to the charge of St. Stephen's Presbyterian Church, Ponsonby, was held last evening in the Ponsonby Hall. About 250 persons were present, including many mem bers of St, James'andSt. Andrew's congregation and residents in the district. An excellent tea was provided by the ladies of the congregation. The concert commenced at eight o'clock, and wit Presided over by the Rev D. W. Runciman. Thf Followingclergymen from other congrega tinns occupied seats on the platform .—Revs &. Ke a" Saints'), J. Robertson (Berestord- Sffi Macnlcol (S^ffir (St. Luke's, Remuera), 4vW- Webb <Wellesley streetßaptistJs A. Carnck (bt. Andrews;, ana H. Sominerville (Whau Presbytenau). . Mr Knnciman, in his opening address, said the congregation hadalready commenced to acquire.

property, andnow possessed a harmonium worth £25. This was all they had, with the exception of a little money in the bank, They looked for ward with expectation to the time when they would be able to build a church of th-nr own, but he considered they rshould remain in the present building, which was very comfortable, and suited to theu- purpose until they were in possession of funds sufficient to pay for the proposed church. He hoped they would soon be able to get a church, and would be satisfied if the money was raised in ten years. They did not merely want a building with four walls and a, roof, but one that would be an ornament to Ponsonby, which he felt sure would yet be the most important pat t of Auck land.

Mr Patterson, the Treasurer, wa* called on for his report, which he said had been considered at a special meeting of the congregation. After paying all liabilities they had a balance of £50 remaining, and they therefore might be thank ful. The Church was at present receiving aid from the church of Scotland, which had given £50 during the past year, and promised £'00 per annum for the next three years- Mr Patterson suggested the formation of a Church Building Fund, and the issuing of subscription lists, winch they might get some generously disposed gentle men to head with donations of £100 s and £50 s, to be paid in periods extending over five years. Mr Runciman said a number of persons had offered subscriptions, and he knew one gentle man who would be willing to give £100, although he would not pay it all at once. Addresses were subsequently delivered by Revs A. W. Webb, J. Robertson, G. B. Monro, and A. Carrick. . a. programme consisting of the following items was well received:—Hymn, "Hark, Hark, my Soul," choir; solo, pianoforte, lady amateur; song "Jessie's Dream," gentleman amateur; duett, piano and flute, lady and gentleman amateurs (encored); song, "Si tv Savais," lady amateur; Sglee, " Bethelem," choir.

Stevenson a vote of thanks to the ladies who provided the tea, and others who assisted was carried with acclamation. The meeting concluded with, the benediction pronounced by Rev D. W. Runciman, and the audience dis persed, after spending a very pleasant evening.

DUNEDItf, this day.

FATHER HENNEBEKRY ON SECULAR EDUCATION.

The "Times" criticises Father Henne berry's denunciation of the Education Act, and stigmatises it as unpeacefulandbigotted. It says: "In the course of his educa tion lecture he said eternal woe was re served for the infidels who had established a system of education in order that the present generation shall be led out of the knowledge of good and of religion. You will not give them (those who voted for the Education Act) a vote in future, and you must look upon them as your deadly ene mies who voted for this matter, etc' Then this elegant prediction (some people might term it blasphemy) : ' God Almighty will sink into hell some day these infidels.' But Father Henneberry is not alone in his antipathy to the Act. Bishop Harper and Bishop Hadiield both want sectarian schools and both have agreed to take up the same grounds as the Roman Catholic clergy. Friends of freedom and popular education should, therefore, prepare for the struggle. Dp not let them assume that because they are at present victoiious, and have been heretofore, the battle is won. They have entered on a struggle that is increasing, and unless they wish to see this colony racked by religious strife they will determine that public schools shall be strictly secular, and the various sects must teach their creed some where else." RAILWAY MANAGEMENT.

All the papers here approve of Mr Con yers' appointment to the chief management of Southern railways. All the recent immigrants found ready employment.

WEATHER REPORT. ™ f11 ,,,. 1 ..

THE week ending Saturday, 16th inst, shows a continuance of the same cool, cloudy, and showery weather which has prevailed ever since the beginning of January. The baro meter is high""for the time of year, being con siderably above the February average for the past fourteen years, although a little below the readings of last week and of the corresponding week of last year. The figures are: Mean reading for week, 30-012 ; last week, 30-022 ; same week last year, 30*046 ; average for Feb ruary, 1864-77, 29-889. There was a rise from the loth to the 12th, thence a fa.ll to Friday night, and a slight rise from then to Saturday morning, which promises to continue. The weather was remarkably cool at the beginning of the week, becoming warmer and damper towards its close. The days through out have been cool, the average daily temperature being considerably below that of last year. During the past week, the nights have been a little warmer, but not enough to raise the appi-oximate mean of day and night, which is a full degree below that of the same week of 1877, although about its same amount in advance of what was noted last week. The readings are as follows :—Day temp., 70-7 ; night do., 58.9 ; approx. mean, 64-8 ; same week of 1877, 65.9; mean of February, 1864-77, 68-45. ... The m?an reading of the due point is a degree and a half below that of last year, and the atmosphere a little drier. The rainfall 0-710 inches, is little more than half of the second week of 1877 ; five-sixths of the entire amount (0-590) fell between sunrise and sunset of the 14th (civil date). The wind has been moderate in amount and steady in direction, scarcely varying from S.W. -one clay S. and the other day W. being the only change. It was strongest at the beginning of the week, along with the coolest weather. The whole character of the past week has been dull, grey, and cloudy, more especially in the mornings. From noon or laic ■to sunset, there has been some sun;hine, and the "nights have mostly b;en moderately clear till midnijht. Elwin B. Dickson, Meteorological Observatory. Auckland Meteorological Station, 16th February, 1878.

Mr It. C. Dyer, Treasurer, acknowledges receipt of £40for tit. Stephen's Orphanage, from the IndianfJFamine Fund. Fishing parties just now are rathe fashionable. This afternoon one oi the North Shore Ferry steamers was chartered by about a score of city gentlemen, and pro ceeded to the neighbourhood of the Beef in Rangitoto Channel, where at the time this is written they are probably dealing death and destruction among the schnapper. The conference at Hamilton yesterday was attended by representatives of the Waikato County Council and the Hamilton and Thames Boroughs. Mr Vialou, Mayor of Hamilton, occupied the chair. Mr Brodie, as convener of the meeting, spoke of the importance of a railway between the Thames and Waikato, and produced a sketch plan showing that 29 miles of the proposed line went through the Thames, 23 miles through, Waikato, and 10 miles through Piako. It had beon estimated to cost [£3,500 [per mile, its length was 62 miles, making £217,000, interest on which would be 4 per cent They had prepared a schedule of taxation on lands as follows : Centres ot population and land within a mile of the line, 3 per cent. ; lands two miles from the line, 2 per cent. ; and within three miles, 1 per cent. This would bring £14,455, but not more than one-third was occupied by Europeans, and the re mainder was in native occupation, and not liable to taxation. The amount actually raised would be only £9,026, a little over what was required to pay the per-centage. A resolution, moved by Dr. Kilgour and seconded by Mr Claude, was carried, pledging the members of the couferruce to support any company or capitalist who would undertake the construction of the line under the Railway Districts Act, 1877. Mr Bagnall moved, and Mr Spencer seconded, am otion requesting the Govern ment to amend this Act, so as to render Government and native land now exempt from rates liable to contribute under the Act, The meeting further decided to convene meetings of ratepayers in the different districts, appointed the Chairmen of Counties and the Mayors of Thames and Hamilton an Executive Committee.

The value ot coke as a tuel, and a» a means of economy of coal, is not appreciated sufficiently. A mixed fuel of coal and coke is invaluable for the ordinary purposes of heating, and still more for those cooking and raising steam, as it absorbs .ne smoke or inflammable gases given oft by coal during combustion, and lenders the fire brighter,clearer, and hotter. This is much more apparent where our local coals are used; indeed, owing to the rapidity of burning, some of these threaten to go. out of consumption altogether. Coke supplies exactly that which these coals lack—body and resistance. Every householder should bny coals and coke at the same time, and, if convenient, mix them ; smaller bills and greater satisfaction will be the result. The price of coke is advertised elsewhere— [AdvT.l Mothers : You need not sew from morn ing till night to keep your children tidy, an hour or two a day with one of the genuine Singrr's World Renowned Sewing Machines will accomplish all the sewing for a large family.
