PROPERTY TAX.

(To the Editor),

SiK,—l have been waiting for the peu of some ready writer to begin calling the attention of the public to the iniquitous character of the Properly Tax which the Uovernment is now attempting to levy. I am surprised at the apathy aud indifference with which the public appear to accept this most tyrannical and inquisitorial enactment. It is not the principle that I find fault with —I am quite willing, if the ntcessities of the country require it, to pay a tax on my property—but Ido most decidedly protest against the vexatious process which the Government has adopted for fixing the amount on which each person ihall be assessed. It is this : Every property holder is compelled to give a statement of the description, situation, and value of all personal property of every kind belonging to him, aud also of all mortgages, encum brances, or clurges thereon, or which may be owing by, or payable to him jin auy manner; and also of all debts owing by him, &c. Schedule I.—Particulars of mortgages or bills of sale securing sum? due to me. I Schedule 2.—Particulars of mortgages or bills of sale given by me to secure sums due to creditors.

All this Information, aud a good deal more besides must bo handed in to the assessors by the 30th J an-. Now it strikes me that this 13 a pretty state of thing?. Is it not a thing intolerable that a whole community of property holders are com pelled to reveal the seciets connected with their property to a certain number of m?n who are called assessors, some of whom no doubtarehonourable men, butmay there not be others of them who would not scruple to sell the knowledge thus acquired by them, or use it for their own gratification and aggrandisement to the injury of many ? Truly we aro travelling backwards to the times of tho hated Inquisition, for I am told that if those assessors arc not satisfied with any person's return they have the power to make a close investigation into his affairs, examine books and other docu ments, aud even intrude their cloven foot into the sacred precincts of the English man's house, to him alas I no longer a castle. Can this New Zealand form part of the British dominions 1 Do we call ourselves a free people? Dont we sing "Britou's never shall be slaves V Vain delusion. Where, I ask, is our "boasted freedom for, if we stoop to submit to such an unjust, un-English. 1 might almost say inhuman measure as this. Then may echo answer: Where ? How •would such a measure bo received "by the people at home in England or Scotland or ould Ireland. "Why, the very attempt to enforce such an Inquisitorial process would bo the signal of i evolution, and the men who assented to tic passing of such au act would be forever hooted off the political arena. We may well ask, " Why did our representatives assent to the passing of an act involviug such barbarous details." 1 can only assign two reasons :- (Ist.) Be cause they • were dazed and demoralised by the flight of the famous Four and their autics in going through that wonderful danco called the " Jim Urow Quadrille." (2nd,) Because they believed it would never be levied, that it was _ mere bogus act, passed to strength en our financial position at the time, and make our loans a little more palatablo to English Capitalists. I might add a third reason, viz., that they did not take the trouble either to examine or inquire into the "modus operandi." Then after all there is no necessity for such Paul Prying into private affairs. Why net adopt Jthe sys tem carried out in Prussia. There the Government fix a certain sum, as the amount ou which every property holder shall be assessed. And if anyone feels that he is overcharged, it rests with him, if he chooses, to prove the fact. But it is clear tkat most men would submit to be mulcted iv excess, rather than be sub jected to an aunoyiog interference with . their private affairs. The Government would thus reap a larger harvest from the tax, without entailing so much unnecessary vexation in the collecting of it. I hope tbat some abler psn than mine will take up the subject, and that the people may be aroused up to rise, "en masse," against the carrying out ot the Act, in its pr sent i_ost objectionable Bhapo.—Yours, &c., Adam Laybourn.

Auckland, 27th May, 1880. [All direct taxation is more or less irrita ting and inquisitorial. These are among its most wholesome features, fer they arouse the people from apathy, leading them to greater watchfulness over the financial operations of the Government, and provide on antidote to national extravagance. Wo agree with our correspondent, however, that obnoxious inquisitive-ess should be avoided as far as possible in levying the Property Tax, although wo do not share his fears that officers of the Property Tax Department, sworn to secresy, and liable to twelve months' imprisonment for violating their oath, would be more likely to reveal information that come 3 ■within their official knowbdge than are telegraphist?, the Government officers who legißter bills of sale, mortgages, &c, or bank officials, who are entrusted every day ■with such business secrets. Nor do wo be lieve that a mode of assessment which is tolerated in the United States would create a rebellion in Eogland where tho excisa man is quietly ondurcd, and Income Tax Commis'ion»rs chosen from the ordinary trade circles are empowered to overhaul the books and stosk of opponents In business •who do not choose to submit to the arbitrary Impaction of an excessive valuation of In come. Still we think it would have sufficed hero if the valuation forms under the Act had simply required a declaration in gros3 of the personal' property upon, which a per son considers himself liable to pay, giving the Commissioners{exclusively sworn public s.rvants) Tjower to call for evidence in detail if dis»atisfied with the return made by the perton asssssed. The ordinary course pursued by the Income Tax Comaiis eioners in England ia this : A form is issued requiring an estimate of a man's assessable income. If the Commissioners suspect an under-valuati'on they fix arbitrarily the amouut of tax to be exacted, throwing upon the person assessed the onus of: prov ing his estimate to be a fair one. It is no torious that men who have made an honeit statement in tho first instance frequently submit to extortion rather than disclose every detail of their busiuess upon appeal before persons engaged perhaps in the same trade as themselves. The English mode of selecting Income Tax Commissioners from trade ranks is in the highest degree objectionable, and raueh more liable to gross abu-o than if paid officers of the Crown, liable to severe penalties for misconduct, were alone admitted to the secrets of the Department. "We agree that our mem bers should make a rc-olute attempt thia session to amend the Act so as to require only the return in gross, as suggested by our correspondent.—Ed. E.S.]

AUCKLAND COFFEE.

(To the Editor.) SIR,—In consequence of a letter signed «' Pure Coffee " appearing in Friday night's Star we take the opportunity for the once, and go in for a cheap advertisement. We hereby challenge the writor of that letter, any Analyst, or any other person, to prove the qua'ities of our manufactured coffees to be otherwise than is stated on their reapec tive labels. Having for the tost 14 years satisfied all the coffee drinking public of our own and other provinces, we have strong ground* to rest upon the good repute of our manufactured coffees, and need not go in for a defence against the complaint of one man, who we feel sure is mis taken. He reminds us very much of a fact which happened in our trade career and comes to be related now, veiy apropos. A customer ordered a few pounds of pure coffee, he required the same, as he said, for his own private use, having been accustomed to it. Next day he sent tor us, ready for giving us a good blowing up, for he said instead of getting pure coffee, we had sent hini pure chicory. Seeing at once that the good man had no idea of coffee, we told him some mistake had occurred, and exchanged his pure coffee for some of our mixed. We have satisfied that pure coffee-drinking individual ever since, and had many a laugh with him about it. Finally, we beg to state that if Raglan " Pure Coffee " or anybody else, wishes to obtain really pure coffee, and unmixed, tho same could be just as easily obtained as tho. other, through any grocery establishment. If not kept in stock it is simply oji account of hardly ever baing asked for.—We are/ yours truly, Brows, Barrett, & Co.

THE COMMODORE'S RESIDENCE.

(To the Editor,)

Slß,—Our sex think it a matter of no small surprise that the residence intended for the Commodore aud his officers in Jermyn-street should be allowed to remain in such a delapidated condition for such a length or time. Whose fault i 3 this? that of the Government ot the c'tizsi s ? If the former, then I think it is time that some of our members should take the matter in hand. It appears to me the Attorney-General must be aware of its necessitous condition, always premising that he is not iv tho. habit of making hia peregrinations, with his eyes

' closed, irrespective of treating the represen tatives ot Hei Majesty's Favy with such contempt. I can call it by no other name. Is it to be wondered at that the port of Auck land ,is not made the rendezvous of the British fleet in the southern seas, as pos sibly it might be if we had a suitable place for the Commodore and bis officers. I opine the paltry few hundreds it might perhaps cost for repairs, would soon be re couped, by many who seem to stand in their own li^ht, looking at it from a business point of view. "Yes, they forma pretty trio, the dock, the reclamation and my subject, and ought to be pointed out to strangers a3 some of the sights worth seeing. I would ask the Star to shed a ray of light on this hitherto neglected subject, aud oblige ; Femina.

PLEURO-PNEUMONIA.

(To tne Editor.) SIR,—In answer to Mr Daniel Tookey's letter in your issue ofthe 19thinst., relative to the above, there are a few inaccuracies. Whilst admitting being thoroughly astray in more diseases than pleuro-paeumouia— for veterinary is not so positive a science as chemistry—vets, have arrived at the know ledge that it is not "stomachical;" indeed, the belly-ache, as far as I know, or have hoard, or read, has nothing to do with either toe early or later stage?. Tho highest talent iv medicine has not been able to define the disease, nor how it is conveyed— a point, I am glad to sec, Mr X. has thoroughly mastered. Inoculation never ha 3 produced the disease, nor, as far as ex penmeatshavegoac,anythiDgapproachingifc. Presuming it to be of a fungoid nature, his suggestion of inhalation mis?ht be correct in theory. I think "six hours of such treat ment would cure" either that or any other disease with which the unfortunate brutes might be troubled, only, would not the pole-axe bo more merciful'! Try his idea on au old cow first. I was not aware that in lung diseases ail medicines th-t went into the stomach were inert as regards those diseases j and where doe 3Mr Tookey intend his sulphuric acid in the water to go?—which road 1 What a grand thing it is, sir, to be able to say "scio." Perhaps our imported South ern consulting v.-surgeons will liolp with a light on this subject. I think, sir, they really owe us a little information—can we prevail upon them ?—I am, &c, Edwd. B.

INQUEST THIS DAY.

An iuquest was held this afternoon on the body of John Symonds, at the Freeman's Hotel, before Dr. Philson, District Coroner, aud a jmy (Mr Joseph Green foreman). Sergeant Martin conducted for the police.

William Rudoph, bushman, had known deceased for 12 months. He was a sailor oa board the Gipsy. His age was about 30.' He was a single man. Ou Saturday, the 22nd, we were at ihe Great Barrier, taking in firewood. Witness was hauling a punt with the wood, from the shore to the vessel. Deceased was working ou shore assisting to load the bullock dray. He did not appear well, but made no complaint. Was quite sober. He worked from 10 a.m. until 7 p.m. He then returned to tho Gipsy. Ho was very wet. Captain Piercy told him to change his clothes. He had been working up to his knecg in water. He changed his clothes for dry ones. Witness also changed his clothing, saw deceased sitting on the locker at tho foot of the steps; he moved to the opposito side and said he would turn into his bunk, he went in aud in the space of two minutes came out, knocking his head agaiust the swinging lamp, breaking the glass. He again sat on the locker, appeared to f«uut, and fell backwards Ho looked very pale, called tho captain, thought he was dying. Tho captain asked him what he would t_ke, but he could not answer ; bathed his face with cold water, aud poured some warm t«a into his mouth, rubbed his hands and feet. He made one struggle and died. There was no dischargo from his mouth or nose. On coming ou board ha was shivering and said he was very cold. Fiuding that he was dead, the body was folded in blankets, and laid iv his bunk. We left Auckland ou the 14th aud he had been at the Great B_rrier, from tiiat time until his death. Brought the body up oa Sunday evening, and the captain repotted the circumstances to Serjeant Martin, who took chargt; of tho body, aud had it removed to the dc.id-houss.

Edward Piercy, master ot tho cutter Gipsy, gave similar evidence. Had known deceased nearly three ye__. : Serjeant Henry Martin, of tho Water Police, deposed to receiving the body and -conveyi-g it in tho boat to the dead-house.

SIR JAMES FERGUSSON.

" Sir James F-rgusson," siys tlie " Enro« pean Mail," "is still engaged bidding i I i to his friends and will not leave uut:i April 9 to take up his new appointment as Gover nor of Bombay. By that time Sir Richard Temple, whom he succeeJs, will have arrived home, and there is no doubt that fclr James has purposely postponed his depar ture order to interchange opinions on Indian policy, and seek a littlo advice from Sir Richard before starting. Sir James' residence in India when quite a young man, and the knowledge he gained of Indian affairs while TJnd';r-Secrer_ry of Stato for India in 1866, together with his vast colo nial experience, admirably suit him for the the post towhichLordßeaconsfieldhas beeu pleased to appoint him. In point of salary it is a distinct promotion, since it is worth £1-,C30 a-year, while his remuueralion as Govorno: of New Zealand was only £7,500. It was thought that on his return from l*cw Zealand Sir James had determined to retire into private life, but at the age of- forty eight he elects to fill a most important post at a very critical juncture in the affairs of India, and if he only succeeds iv making himse'f as popular with the inhabitants as Sir Kichard Temple has done during his comparatively short residence inßombay.he will have o-ii'aed the thanks of the Govern ment ''.nd of all interested iv the welfare of India. Sir Richard Temple's departure called forth an ovation in his favour such a seldom Mis to the lot of Indiau officials. Addresses poured in from all races and classes. The whole city turned out to bid him fare well, and a public meetiog voted him a statue, for which £500, was at once sub scribed. There is no doubt that the natives of Bombay regret very much to loso Sir Richard, but, judging from wh*t Sir James Fergusson has done iv New Zealand and South Australia, it ia questionable whether the Govcrament could have appointed a more qualified successor, or one that would be more popular with the people he has to govern." ___

NOTES FROM WHANGAROA.

APPOIKTMENT OF RESIDENT MAGISTRAT3 FOE BAY OF ISLANDS AHD \Vn_NGAROA.

VARIOUS rumours have been going round about the method. One of the aspirants to that honour tried to obtain his ooject, but on the 13th inst. Mr George Downs, of the Whangaroa,Hotel, Whangaroa.received two letters from the Minister oi J usticeSecretai y, one acknowledging the receipt of a letter recommending the appointment of Mr A. P. Ratcliffe, and stating the same would be laid before the Minister of Justice. The other stating that the appointment had been decided ou prior to receipt of his letter. These letters have been read in the pre-enceof another Whangaroahotel-keeper, and an Auckland brewer. Mr G. Downs was fairly taken by surprise, as he never wrote to the Minister of Justice any letters, ; nor recommended such an appointment to his knowledge, and appeared to bo ignorant of the fact that tho person referred to was aspiring to such an honourable position. Some practical joke must have been tried on. However, the matter is not likely to end there,1 as it is said the matter will bo placed in the hands of the Hon. J. Lundon.mcmber of the House of Representatives for this place,lo ask for an inquiry by the Minister of Justice. The benedicts of Whaugaroaintendgiving a return ball to the young ladies and bachelors on an early date, and have appoiuted a committee to carry out the necessary arrangements. The Rev. Mr Salter, Wesleyan minister, arrived by steamer yesterday, and held service in the evening aid preached an impressive sermon from Isaiah 28c. 15v., after which a collection was made in aid of building a church at Kawakawa. No previous notice being given of such collec tion, it was not so large as might have b-en for so good a cause. He preaches agaiu on Sunday, when a collection ou behalf of the Irish Relief Fund will be made. A meeting of the Boad Board, called by tho chairman for Thursday last, lapsed through non-attendance of members of the samo. ____________■____.

QUEEN'S BIRTHDAY.

Notwithstanding, the bleak aud gloomy aspect which a cloudy sky imparted to the city the holiday was loyally observed. The majority of the vessels in harbour were gaily decked out in bunting from truck to taffrail, while with the exception of a few places of refreshment aud fruit stalls, all shopi and business premises were closed, many oE them flying flag?. The volunteer demonstration in the morning attracted a large crowd of people, a considerable num ber of whom followed the prospectively gallant defenders of the country to the re view giound. The Races bid successfully for a fair share of the popular favour, and the Domain aud North Shore held out also their patent inducements to visitors. Bearing in mind the threatening state of the weather, and remembering especially that all day the sky has been banked up with clouds heavily surcharged with rain, there is much cause for wonder that so many people resorted to the usual retreats undismiyed seemingly byjthe prospects of a downpour and undeterred by the moist and muddy ground. The fact may be accepted as strong evidence of the instincts oE the people for recreation, and of a determina tion not to be baulked in their little schemes of gratification by the froward ness of the "erratic deity to whom the ancients assigned the care of the celestial watering pot. However, the rains did not descend, and the pleasure-seekers have doubtless proved successful in their quest.' The ferry steamers conveyed full comple ments of passengers to Woodside and Devonport, while the greensward at the Domain was all animation. The usual games were engaged in with zest, aud proved. a centre of attraction not only for the youths ond maidens who plucked up courage to take part iv them, hut also to those who were content merely to look on. The leading thoroughfares of the city wore a sombre and desertod appear ance throughout the afternoon, and the quiet which reigned supremo was only broken at intervals by the noise of occasional footsteps. Below we give a detailed des cription of the leading eveuts of the day, first in magnitude aud in public interest, o£ course, being THE REVIEW. Tho Volunteer Review and Sham Fight at the race course brought out a good mus ter, making allowance for the short notice and the state of the weather. It was understood, however, that the affair was merely tho preliminary to a gene ral muster of volunteers from Auck land, tho Thames, Waikato, "Whangarei, and other places. Compared with the military display at the ThaniC3 the review to-day was comparatively tame both iv point of numbers and representatives of , different aims, but uudcr all the circum stances the officers aud men aro deserving of great praise for the ready way in which they responded to the call of duty, as well as for the soldierly discipline and steadiness they, displayod under..arms. The muster took place at the Drill-shed, when the battalion marched iv fours, headed by the bands to the Railway Station, where a few minutes after their arrival, a special train was in readiness to convey them to the review grouud. Owing to the skilful arrangeracuts mado by Mr A. V. Macdonald, the operation of em banking tho men iv the train occupied but a few miuutes, the column forming iv lino right in front along the line of railway, strotching from the good's shed to the plat form, and occupying carriages in that order. The whole bubiucss occupied only three or four minutes, and was managed without the slightest irregularity or crowding. The traiu left the station precisely at 10 o'clock, tho bands playing lively airs through the tunnel nnd along tho whole journey, which was speed ily accomplished. The operation of disembarking was expeditiously aud metho dically managed, The battalion deployed through the gate in fours, marched on_ to the course in open column of companies, formed quarter distance column, and stood at case lor a few minutes while the officers fell out The Pukekohe Rifle Volunteers had arrived ou the grouud at an earlier hour in tlie forenoon under Lieut. Chilman. They numbered 31 rank aud file. Some of the men had come from a great distauce, from Tuakau, Pukekohe, Drury, and sur rounding districts, Lieut. Chilman having rdiica round the country to warn tho mcii. Had earlier notico of tbe intended review been given,' probably at least 200 of all ranks would have mustered. The Otahuhu Company was not on tho ground, owing to tho fact that the brief uotice was not sullicient to enable the men to muster in sullicient strength tc do credit to themselves, and Capt. Gordon preferred to remain away rather than appear with a mere skeleton company. The Thames Volunteers would pro'jably have attended the reriow also had ample notice been given; and tho broken weather was another obstacle. However, Major Murray, one cf the most experienced aud eiiicieut of the Thatnos officers, was present, and watched ' the operations of the day with much in terest. The duty state of the parade, as collected by our reporter from the officers of compan ies on the ground, wai as follows : — A BATTERY, AUCKLAND ARTILLERY.-' Major Burns, Captain Payne, Lieutenants Norrie aud Pearce, Sergeant-Major An»cll, two Sergeants, and 39 rank and file, with two guns. Engineers.—Captain Anderson, Lieut. Shellington, Sub-Lieut. Shaw, 2 Sergeants, 1 trumpeter, and.34 rank and file. Viciokia Company.—Captain Mahon, Ist Lieut. Skinner, 2nd Lieut. Selfe, Seigt. Burnie, and 18 rank aud file. No. 3 Company,—Major Morrow, Lieuts. Robinson and Hiichcn", a fu'l complement of noa-cimmlssioned, and 15 rank and file. Scottish Company.—Lieut. Anderson, Sub-Lieut. Home, 4 Struts., and 20 rank and file. Captain Mowbray was prevented from commanding the Company by illness. Hobson Compa-y.—Captain Dignan, Lieut. Connolly, Sub-Lieut. Flynu, 4 ser geant?, and 32 rank and file. Navals.—Captain Leßoy, Lieut. Chap man, Lieut. Parker, Sub-Lieut. Smith, 3 Ist class petty officers, and 30 rauk aud file. Major "Withers, commanding Volunteers in the Auckhnd district, was reviewing offi cer, aud MajorDerrom iv command. Lieut. Clifton made au efficient battalion adjutani. Dr. Dawson was 'also present, as well as Staff Sergeant.Major Hasln ». Total: 2S officers, 19 sergeants", nnd 217 rank and file. The bands present were as follows :— Artillery Baud 19, under Baudmaster Hunter. Engineer Band 19, under Bandmaster Impey. Hobson Band 21, under Baudmaster Christopher. Naval fife and drum band, 12, under Bandmaster Shanaghan. Grahd T0ta1.—292 of all ranks. THE REVIEW. Tho various flag-points had been marked for wheeling, aud Major Withers, with Major Burns, took up a position at the saluting point, opposite the Grand Stand, which was occupied by a large ntimbsr of spectators. THE FEU DE JOE. The battalion retired in quarter distance columu on the leading Company, formed live to the left on the leading Company with the Artillery in its place In the right of the line. About this timo, half-past eleven, the first t'-aln arrived with a large number of citizens, and trains continued to reach the place at short intervals of twenty minutes each. Tho Artillery fired the salute of 21 I guns with excellent precision, a feu d' joe being fired by the line iv the intervals of each seven guns. At the first round some precipitation was showu by a few men in the front rauk near the left of the line, which rendered the fou d' joe somewhat irregnhr. Botwecn the next seven guns somo ono in the Engineer Com pany let off his [rifle. In filing the next round the Hobson Company were a little hurried, but the last round was fired with excellent regularity. "With the trifling defects pointed out the few d' joi was per formed in a most creditable manner, The band played the National Anthem. Major Derrom theu advanced to the frout ofthe line, and taking off his helmet ca'lcd for "three cheers for Her Majesty the Queen," and the signal was loyally and en thusiastically responded to. THE MARCHING FAST._ The line next advanced in review order, broke into columu right in front, formed qnarici'-distance column, the centre corn pauy, wheeled to the left by com panies and retired, took ground to the right by fours, advanced by fours from the right of Companies, aud halted in quarter-distance column. The battalion then marched past in open column of Com panies, right in front. In this movement the men shewed great steadiness, especially the Hobson Company, whose soldierly bearing and compactness were much ad mired by military spectators. The battalion hying resumed its former position to the left again, passed tho saluting point at the double, the Navals displaying the utmost stendiness. The wheeling was remarkable for precision and uniformity. The battalion next halted iv column to the rear, took ground to the right by fours, and deployed to the left on tho leading company. I

THE PRESENTATIONS.

• A hollow square having heen formed in the centre companies, with the hand forming the opposite side, Major Withers called ' Sapper D. Allen to the front and addressed c him as follows :—Sapper Allen, I have been c deputed by Captain of your Campany to c present you with a medal for good attend ance, and I have greut pleasure in making 0 the presentation. I hear that you have v been in attendance at every [1 parade of the Company as well as , the monthly iuspectiou parades r I am very much gratified at a seeing regular attendance of this character, - and I trust this reward will stimulate your v brother volunteers to follow your example. - It gives me great pleasure to perform the j duty of pinning this medal ou your 1 breast t The medal was tho gift of Dr D_wson, . and was made by Mr Singleton, jeweller, of f Victoria-street. ' Major Withers then said :—I have also ) now much greater pleasure in fulfilling the , duty of presenting this belt to you,_ Sapper > Allen, as a reward for good shootiug. It 1 is a very handsome belt, of local manufac t ture. To make it your own, you must win I it twice iv succession, or three times at I intervals, and I trust you will succeed lin fulfilling these conditions. The ■ Mayor then presented the belt, ) the bands playing "The Conquering Hero.'' The belt was presented by the Engineer i Compauy, and was made by Messrs Kohn. Sapper Henderson having resumed his i place iv the ranks, Gunner H. Henderson, ! of the A. Battery Volunteer Artillery was ' called to the front, and Major Withers, addressing him, said, " Gunner Henderson, I have known you beforo as au : efficient Volunteer at Hawke's Bay, . and I am glad to sco that you main tain that reputation here. I am 1 pleased to hear that you are always a ■ regular attendant at drills aud parades and a good shot. It affords me the greatest pleasure to perform the duty of presenting : you with this belt as a reward for good shooting. I hope you will continue to wear i it, and that it will become your own." The major then presented Gunner Hender son with a very handsome belt, which was made by Mr Paine, jeweller, Queen-street. The square then re-formed line, broke into column to the right, aud the battalion piled arms, and the men wero dismissed to par take of lefreshments, which had been pro vided iv abundance at the rear of the Grand stand. The members of the Scottish Compauy displayed the proverbial canny forethought which characterises Caledonia's sons, by having provided a comfortable table aud seats, where hot tea and coffee and a substantial luncheon was provided. After a short rest the battalion reassem bled, and a sham fight took place, twenty rouuds of blank ammuuitiou being ex pended per man, besides artillery fire. Tne point of attack was the rising ground iv • front of the grand stand, where tho enemy was supposed to be posted. Tho Engineers advances in skirmishing order, with the gnus on either Hank, with the usual sup ports, the Navals formiug the reserve. A slia'p ami well sustained liro was kept up, and after some time the bugles sounded the signal to " cease liriug," and the skirmishers were relieved by the Victoiia Company, the Engineers retiring at the double, the raovoment being covered by a rapid Artillory lire. As tho supposed enemy was retirimg under cover of the hill towards tho left with the objoct of turning their flank, tho bat tallion changed front to tho right aud opened a brisk fire §£An attack then took place in line, tho I'ukekohe Volunteers taking left. Echelon squares were formed to recoivo cavalry, the guns at the corner, and after the retreat of the cavalry, tho battalion advanced along the wholo line to pursuo the retreating enemy. A downpour of rain then descended, and tho men hurried away to catch the train.

THE ELLERSLIE RACES

[Per " Star" Carrier Pigeon.]

Elushs-ie Racecourse, 12.30 p.m.

Four large special trains have arrived, crowded with passengers, and there is every prospect ot a large attendance at to-day's races. A noticeable alteration on the rail roiul, near Newmarket, was the new per manent wav on which the trains run, eight feet below the level of the former main lino. Yesterday morning, at daybreak, the Gene ral Manager, jthe Inspector of ihc Per manent Ways, and a body of plate-layers, were at work connectiug the line 011 the low level, but it was impossible to get it finished previous to the arrival of the first Sunday's train, and a danger-flag was hoisted near the old Slaughterhouse. The train, yesterday morning, was [detained while ballast was laid, sleepers and rails adjusted, clc. There is a' private bet on of £25 that Malvern beats Yatapa in the Ellcrslie Cup, 1 o'clock. The starter is trying to get tho Maidc.is oil', bat the firing of tho big gnus disturbs the horses. 1.15 p.m. Maiden Plate, of 10 soys. ; one mile and a distance ; for all horses that have never wou a prize exceeding £5 ; weight for age. Butler's ch.f. Flora, Bst 31b ... ... 1 MoGee's b.f. Across The Grass Bst 31b ... 2 Mcßory's b,g. Over The Hills Bst 51b ... 0 After some difficulty in getting tho horses to stand still owing to tho disch»rge of artillery, the starter got them away fairly well, Morn went to the lead, hard held. The starting-post was opposite tho etaud aud ou leaving tho straight tho horses ran alouj an avenuo at tho back of the stand into a hollow at the rear of an haystack, from thence their course lay up a green and shady lane where modest violets grow, but which is almost entirely hidden by the trees. In this quiet retreat Over The Hills re mained, whilo Flora and Acrots The Grass emerged into daylight neck-and neck, racing together pa3t the Stand the second tirre round. The finish of tho race was interesting, both horses being under the whip, Flora winning by a head. 1.30 p.m. Two military bands havo marched to the lawn, each arriving in full burst of martial music befitting the late soldierlike proceed ings. They aro tho Artillery and Uobsou Bands. HANDICAP HUKDLE RACK, of 30 SOYS. ; second horse to save his stakes. Dis tance, 2 miles, over nine flights of hurdles. McDonald's b.g. Ake Ake, 9-t 71b ... 1 Caulton's br.g. Harry Mount, list 51b.. 2 Horsrall's b.b. Ratcatcher, lOst 71b ... 0 Laing's ch.g. Harold, 10-t 0 Also ran, Ratcatcher. Scratched, Harold. Katcatcher started first favourite and led to the second hurdio where he baulked and fell heavily, his rider was assisted to ic mount, and the hurdle was the second time negociatcd with success, by this time, how ever the favourite was 300 yards be hind.

CONCERT AT HELENSVILLE.

On the sth inst. a concert was held at the Courthouse, the proceeds of which were, for tlie benefit of the Sunday-school. The 100 m was crowded to overflowing, and the entertainment was in all respocts a great success. Tho superintendent, Mr Ballans, made a statement of the present state and prospects of the school, and an excellent programme was then entered upon. The Misses Hook, Clark, Ballans (2), and Rimmer, young girls iv the Sunday-school, acquitted themselves remarkably well, especially Miss Rimmer, whose " Flower Girl" was rendered in a style which showed great promise, and was deservedly encored. Miss Clendon's performance on the piano forte was much appreciated, as was also her solo, "Such is Life," which was warmly encored. Mis 3 Bacon sang with great success. M 133 Williams was very much admired in her respective ducti with Miss Clendon, Mr Beart, and Mr Walker, but more especially in " Children's Voices," the Kyrio Eleison being exquisitely rendered. I must not omit to mention Messrs Walker, Wells and Beart, the latter ot whom parti cularly pleased the juvenile portion of the audience by the spirited manner in which ho sang several comic songs. The enter tainment closed by tho Company singing God Save the Queen. It is only just to record that the chief credit of the,success of the conceit is duo to Misses Williams and Clendon, both for the energy and tact dis played by them in all the arrangements connected with it, and also for the excel lence of their individual performances.— COMUSPO-tDENT.
