The Player, won the tosa, and weut in first, but failed to make a stand against Boyle aud Palmer, who howled admirably, without requiring n change.

September 28.

The match between the Australian Eleven and the Players of England waa resumed this morning, in the presence of about 10,000 spectators. Spofforth, who has again taken his place in the team, was received with immense cheering. He batted for the first time since his injury, and Bcored 25. He was, however, unable to bowl, and yesterday Bannerman fielded as a substitute for him. The wicket during the day was in a treacherous con dition, aud none of the batsmen on either side made a long stand. Tho Australians completed their.first innings tor a total of 133; and succeeded iv disposing of the Players in their second innings for a small total of 82, tbe bowling of Palmer and Boyle again proving very destructive. The Australian team, with 40 ruus to get to win, then went in, and when play closed for the day hod lost three wickets for 10 ruus.

September 29. The match between the Australian Eleven and tho Players of England was concluded to-day.

FURTHER NEWS BY THE SEA RTP.

Captain Southgatk, of the schooner Sea Rip, which' arrived yesterday afternoon from the Duke of York Island, reports that the schooner was, on August 14th, close to Port Hunter, when he heard the news of the massacre of Captain Ferguson, of the steamer Ripple. On landing on the beach there, in a house he found four wounded men in a dreadful state. One of the men was a, European, another a Japanese, and the other two natives of Howe's Group. Captain Southgate says that the European, named Bismarck, informed him "that the Ripple came to anchor at 11 a.m. on Sunday, August 8, off tho N.E. side of Bouganville Island, and the natives came oil to trade on that day. The massacre commenced on Monday, August 9, at 8 a.in., the natives being on board in great num bers. Captain Fergnsou appears to' bitve been the first man attacked. He waa step ping out of the cabin door when a native struck him with au American axe, which he drove into his neck, and the poor captain died instantly. The nativo stepped over Ferguson's body, ontered tho cabin, and cat a woman-servant in. two. A Japanese seaman waa down in tho storeroom when the attack commenced, and on coming on deck he was attacked by a native with a long knife. The Japanese nnd the engineer are said to have fought like demons, and being fully armed, tho chambers ot their revolvers having been exhausted, they fell back on their Win- Chester rifles. The engineor, it is stated, killed a man for every one of the first 15 shots he fired. The king of the native party, named Beta, was about the first mttu shot. The natives did not appear to understand the effect the rifles had on them. The scene on the deck of the Ripple was a frightful one. The natives foughtwith American axes and 14in. knives, which had been purchased from the Kipplc. The natives having been beaten back took to their canoes, which surrounded the Ripple, and fought with their bows and nrrows, and the Ripple party kept up an incessant peppering from the Winchesters, which had once belonged to the Marquis de Rays' expedition. The fight lasted ■ some 20 minutes j and tho Ripple bore marks of tho blows from the axes, and the snears and arrows lay thick among the dead and wounded. Captain Southgate, of the Sea. Rip, heard of the loss of the schooner Ariel ou the Island of Georgia, near Java Island, but did not hear of any deaths, and believes that Captain Brodie and the rest of the crew of the Ariel' must have reached the Savo, as he could hear —»i.;—i ~f 1,-,,„ „ r . _______ r>. _r,uill____a____

Proposed Judicial Changes.

[FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.]

WELLINGTON, this day. It is rumoured here to-day, but I cannot vouch for its truth, that the following changes of District Judgos and Resident Mugistratcsarc contemplated :--Mrl_cttha_u from Timaru to Wellington ; Mr Mellias, Christchurch to Timaru; Mr Whitford, Kaiapoi to Christchurch; Mr Beswich, Lyttelton to Kaiapoi ; Mr Watt to Oamaru; Mr Wood to luYorcargill, vico Parker nnd McCulloch, respectively. The two latter retiiingon pensions, as also Mansfield, of Wellington, and Wardell, of Wairarapo. I hear also that District Judge Shaw aud Commissioner Brown will probably retire.

POLICE CHANGES. Rumours are also rife regarding tbo police changes. It is reported that of tho eleven Inspectors who aro to be retained out of twonty-throo, there will bo seven in tho South Island and four in the North. That Superintendents Meldon, Thompson, aud Hickson will havo charge of Otago and Southland ; Broham and two others, whose names aro not mentioned, Canterbury and Wostlaud; Atkimon of Nelson aud Marl borough, Shearman of Wellington, James of Wanganui and Taranaki, Scullcy of Nnpier nnd East Coast, Thomson of Auck land and the Worth. These names aro freely mentioned, but tho Government observe strict silence until everything is actually done, so I caunot absolutely verify tho statements.

ANXIETY IN THE CIVIL SERVICE. Many other rumours are afloat as to im pending dismissals for retrenchment. Among the names mentioned as_ likely to be dispensed with are Benzoni, P. W, Johnson (Marine Department), Wakefield (Under Secretary, Mines Department), and others, but thero may bo no truth in the reports. It is known, however, that a clean sweep will be made whenevor deemed at all possible. Intense auxioty and apprehen sion prevails among nil classes of tho Civil Service, no man feeling suro his turn may not come next.

THE LIBERATED PRISONERS. The nativo prisoners arrived in the Hinc moa to-day, and went on to Taranaki. Mr Brycc interviewed them, and had a long chat with Wiromu Kiugi. The old chief said he should return to his homo and live quietly, without takincany part in future disputes should thoy arise. Partita's son was ollerod to bo released in Wellington, but he promptly decided to go ou to Taranaki.

To-day's fencing demonstration at the Constabulary Camp consisted merely in advancing to a distance of 200 yards from the road, waving green boughs, aud then retiring. Nobody knows what tho mystic ceremony means.

REVENUE RETURNS. The revenue returns for the quarter and half year are not yet comploted, bnt I hear thtit so tar as received they aro very favourable. The Customs have realisbd nearly £645,000 for the half-year, or about nineteen thousand above tho estimate, the quarters return being £23,000 above the proportionate estimate, The beer duty, I understand, has produoed a clean thousand for a little over a quarter, being at a rate equal to forty thousand for the year, the sum . estimated by the treasurer. Other classes of revenue are satisfactory.

Pakuranga Hunt Club Annual Meeting.

This favourite littlo meeting conies off at Ellcrslie to-morrow, Saturday, when there ia very little doubt but a laigo number of people will avail themselves of the chance of seeing tho best sport to be seen in Auck land. The ball will bo set rolling at ono o'clock with tho Pakuranga Hunt Club Steeplechase, when probably seven of the best cross country horses to be found in tho district will sport well-to-do battle for their worthy owners. Such well-known warriors as Don Juan* Butcher Boy, Awahoa, Greyhound, The Goaeral, The Ghost, and Young Stedmere, ought to bo sufficient attraction for half Auckland to turn out to see Don Juan ha. had a most careful preparation, and is looking uncom monly well, aud, barring accidents, his owner thinks lie cannot lose. Let us hope, for tho sake of sport, tbat ho will not go on the wrong side of the flag this year. Old Batcher is looking well, and does not move so groggy as ho did last year. He will be ridden by a good man, who will keep clear of -wire fences, and, barring other acci dents,run, as of old, a good honest hour. Awahoa, I think, will have a great diffi culty to get the course, it being, I think, a little too far aud heavy for him—onco round would be more his forte. Greyhound jumps well, it taken at his fences slowly. He is, I hear, .looking very light. The General has only just been taken up. He is a good jumper, and very honest, but I am afraid his condition will not stand to him. The Ghost is a good horse, but requires more time. Young Sledmere, I hear, will be saved for the Hurdle. I fancy the result will be between Don Juan, But cher Boy, and The General, in the order named. The Maiden Hurdles has a field of five nominated. Harkaway, Sunbeam, Comus, Sato, and Soa King. The first aud last I cannot have at any price. Sunbeam is a nice mare, nnd has a bit of foot. Comus, I fancy, is too green for hurdles, while Sato will probably be left for the Maiden Steeple chase. I shall tip Sunbeam first,, with Comus her nearest attendant. The Maiden Steeplechase has a good entry of nine, and some of them, considering their age, should not be maidens now. Sato (4yrs) report says is a good jumper, and will stop at nothing. He is being trained by tho veteran Thornton. Tear Away is an honest jumper, and will be ridden by his owner, MrE. P. Donnelly. Harkaway I do not like. Dainty, Sannterer's brother, is a nice horse, bat fond of refusing. _ttalanta, o representative of Heinuera, is- a good mare and a good jumper, and if her owner rides you need not look much further for tho winner. Merry Lass and Miguoinette are both comparative strangers. The former is a good jumper, and will be ridden by her owner, Potter, which will be of great importance to her. The short distance, once round, will suit, I think, The Ghost and Comus. Tho re sult, I think, will be between Atalanta, Sato, and Merry Lass, and I prefer them in the order named. The result of the Members' Hurdles will probably be effected by the 0.H.C.5., but Handy, specially kept for it, ought to have no difficulty in putting this race to his owner's credit. The Pony race will,l tbink, go to Hotspur ; Larry second. From the papers I notice horsemen are requested to be careful not to ride over the new turf. ' ....

GRAND CONCLUDING CONCERT OF THE REMUERA MUSICAL AND LITERARY SOCIETY.

Mb. ISAACS was again the best last even-* *ing in his Pas do deux at the above home of mirth Politeaao and la Musique, and the "Warrior Bold," it is to be hoped, when, he became defunct, deputed his executors to "See that his grave was kept green." The applause that followed was akin to that, which invariably greeted the lato Charles Dickens in his celebrated humorous read ings. Mr Dixon sang the favourite song, "My Queen," with some effect, and it must be honestly admitted that his rendering of ',' When the tide comes in " was a complete success, these selections from his repertoire being much more suitable to his_ voice than on a former occasion. The Misses Bich mond were re-called for a duet, and were quite au fait in their Bingiog and playing, whilst Mr Rattray contributed a reading which seemed to amuse that portion of the youthful audienco who are troubled with coughing fits. In the pianoforte duet from "Pinafore," brilliantly played by Misses Larkins and Whewell, evou tho eontleinon ceased talking to tako note of tho splendid time on an instrument which, through tho strings not being well pulled up iv the bass, a necessary course to pursue monthly not quarterly with all bichord cottages, minus the celeste pedal,' completely spoilt more than ono of the best ballads of the evening. Mrs Seccombe, senr., and junr., sang "Flow on 'J'hou Shining River," and Mr Hammond offered a portion of Hamlet's speech to his mother, moderately delivered. Mr Yonge had evidently practiced " The Scout," practically as well as theoretically, so that the issue was never in doubt, and the glee entitled " Here's a Health to all Good Lasses," was nicely intrepreted. Mr Edmiston, gave the "Gauntlet," "Nil Desperandum," and "Thus Goes the World Around," the first named decidedly having,the call of the others. ■> " The Good Rhino Wine" is always welcome, and -Mr Pounds has a soft pure voice. This, his most receut effort, was greatly fancied. Mrs Clark was again untiring in (her energies when playing accompani ments for the various-aspiruntß, always ready, ever artistic. This lady, iv "The Wishing Gate," displayed great taste, pro voking tumultuous applause, and "like »v._ _______ It. ___ nnnlli-r LTrnv." Mr

Edwin Hesketh played his own accompani ment to " Happier Days in Store." This was the chief feature ot the evening, the music being similar to Barton McGuckin's new "Chanson," sung last August at the Crystal Palace, the refrain of tbe libretto at tbe end of each verse speaking tor itself : "Still, still, would I steop my lips In bliss, And dwell an age on o vory kiss." Mr Herbert Claude Brook, Associate of Arts, 3ang " Cleansing Fires," nnd tho national song of " Tho Englishman." 1_ Larkins, Esq., in a speech between the acts, indulged a most crowded audience, with a retrospect of the various morits of tho performers during the season, and the countless dishes which had beeu from time to time set before a most fastidious audience of epicureans. The genuine assistance of Mrs MacMillan throughout the scries called for many thanks, and her absence last uigbt was much deplored, and tho proverbial hos pitality of Mr Tonks in throwing Open his well-appointed residence to the performers both before and after those entertainments for rehearsal illustrated tho fact that " Ho was an Englishman," and it was greatly to his credit. A most delightful'evening was passed, and Paul and Virginie, who sported in the eloaming and realms of middle dis tances ot Cobalt, would have becu quite at home at Kemucra no ennui to be dispelled, an atmosphere of sweet scents, a fair show of cuttings from choice exotics, meliflous strains to please the tympanum, and Class I Rhetoric. Wo must not omit to mention that tho Misses Loddcr repeated tho grand coup of last Thursday week, in " Oh, Ye Tours," (duet) by _p_eial rcquost; tho blending of thoir voices producing a well meritod and enthusiastic acknowledg ment.

THE INDUSTRIAL HOME.

A special meeting of tho Committoe of tho Howe-street Industrial Homo was held yes terdny in tho rooms of tho Young Men's Christian Association. Proscnt:—Captain Daldy in tbo chair, Colonel Haultain, Secre tary, Yon. Archdeacon Maunsoll, Rev. Dr, Purchas, Messrs F. Larkina, T. Macffarlaue, Kensington, J. B. Russell, W. Thorne, R. C. Barstow, Stewart, Coupland, and Revs. Robertson, Taylor, Long, and Mucnlccol.— The Secretary read two letters from Mr Stickloy tendering his resignation of tho position of master of tho Homo, and com menting at longth on Mr Habeas' report — Mr Macffarlano proposed, " That the Com mittee, while disagreeing with the report, should accept the resignation from the end of tbe year, and report to the Government." —The motion was seconded by Mr Stewrrt. —Dr. Purchas deprecated any di«cu_sion of Mr Habens' report, and moved, as an amendment, that Mr Stiokley's resignation bo accepted.—Mr Larkins sccouded tho amendment, and coincided with Dr. Pur chas as to the inexpediency of discussing the report. Their first object should be to advance the welfare of the Home. They had been expecting too much for their money from Mr and Mrs Stickley, and they should now accept the resignation, and aak the Government to appoint their suc cessors.—Mr Barstow thought there wero three courses open to the committee—to accept Mr Habens' report and resign, to ignore it as based on insuffi cient evidence, or express diseatis faction with H. They could not contiuuo the services of Mr and Mrs Stickley, but they ought not to accept tho repoit without some protest. Mr Thorne thought tho master^ resignation should be accepted under protest The amendment was put and negatived, the Chairman condemning it as implying censure on the committee. Dr. Purchas said ho entirely approved of Mr Habonß' report, and would object to any blame being cast upon him. Be would move as a further amendment, " That the words condemnatory of Mr Habens be omitted."—This amendment, not being seconded, fell to the ground. Colonel Haultain said the sacrifice of Mr Stickley appeared to bo necessary in order to prcservo the Institution.—Mr Larkins said any opposition to Mr Habeas would only lead to tho further correspon dence, in which that gentleman would endeavour to nupport his statements. The Chairman thought the Home had outgrown Mr Stickley's management. Ho did not believe Mr Habens would be guilty of mis representation, or concealing tho truo cir cumstances of the Home. If tho Govern ment desired full control of tho institution, they should take it over and do the work. Mr Stickley had devoted his time to tho performance of his duties, and should not have blame oast upon him by the Govern ment The resolution was then put and carried as follows :—" That the committee, having the report of tho officer appointed to investigate into tbo management ot the Industrial Home, and having received the resolution of the members, resolve that, while di* senting fronvsomeof tho conclusions at which the Commissioner has arrived, they will recommend tho Government to accept Mr Stickley's resignation from the 31st of December."—On the motion of Mr Macffarlaue, it was resolved that Mr Stickley's letter, together with the resolu tion, bo forwarded to the Government.— In reply to Archdeacon Maunsoll, Mr Macffarlane saidthe expediency of adopting the Home system was under tho considera tion of the Government—lt was resolved, on the motion of Dr Maunsell, "That the accommodation in the Industrial Home having become too small for the numbor of inmates, a committee be formed to consider the best plan of providing for the in creasing number of children, and report to next quarterly meeting."—Dr Maunsell, Messrs Stewart, Purchas, Larkins, Daldy, Macffarlano, and Thorne, were appointed a committee to bring up a report on this subject. The meeting then ended.

WHANGAREI.

Your correspondent, like tho rest ot the people of Whaugarei, has been so busy since the spring set in, that there has been but little spare time for correspondence. For apparent neglect, please pardon. The com pletion of the railway between here and Kamo. is to be celebrated by a general holiday. It having been understood that the worthy contractor would not accept the complimentary lunch, it has been decided to have a dinner laid in tho Public Hall,- so that visitors from Auckland need net fear they will lack creature comforts, by the hotels and boarding houses being crowded. It is to be hoped they will take tho oppor tunity of visiting Whangarei, and by their presence encourage tho district. The fCte to be held on the 9th of November is likely to be a great success, and tho Volunteer, may woll bo proud of tho number of liandsomo prizes offered for competition. I regret that my news this week is not all sunshine, for I must mention that the Rev. Mr Mackintosh is seriously indisposed. I believe his illness is causod by overwork, the estimable gentleman overtasking his strength to accomplish his numerous duties, but I trust that the change and rest recom mended by his medical adviser will speedily restore him to health.

The Rees' Relief Fund.

A PUBLIC meeting was held at St. Luke's

Parsonage, at 7.33. o'clock last evening, for the purpose of deciding on the necessary measures to be adopted in order to provido a fund for the relief of Mrs Bees, suddenly left a widow in reduced circumstances, through the murder of her husband. The meeting was convened by the Rev. J. Hazelden, clergyman of the parish. There was a fair attendance, amongst those present being Messrs A. K. Taylor (in the chair), R. Fry, A. Waterhonse, F. G. Ewington, C. Atkin, Page, W. H. Martin, and R. Beck. After considerable dis cussion as to Mrs Ree's circumstances, and hearing reports on the subject, Mr Ewington moved and Mr Page seconded, " That having heard tho reports of gentle men who have inquired into the circumstances of Mrs Rees, this meeting ia of opinion that funds should bo raised for her relief." The motion was carried unanimously. Another resolution was moved and agreed to that any funds raised for Mrs Rees should bo devoted in the first instance to the purchase of a" dwelling-house, and that any surplus afterwards remaining should be paid to her in weekly instalments as the trustees may deem necessary. The following gentlemen wero appointed trustees : Messrs. A. K. Taylor, C. Atkin, F. G. Ewington, R. Fry, and O. B. Stone. The meeting also resolved that thoso persons who have contributed to the fund, or are willing to contribute,should be requested to hand over their donation to the trustees to: be expended ,'for the purposes mentioned. Mr A. K. Taylor was elected chairman of trustees, Mr Stone treasurer, and Mr F. G. Ewington hon. secretary. The secretary was requested to invite (by advertisement) subscriptions towards the funds, and to re quest the newspaper offices to continue to receive contributions. An advertisement on the subject appears in another column. We understand that the trustees are of opinion that £100 will be ample to meet the wants of the widow.
