I entered an hotel utanding hard by, iiud was surprised to find I eterybody knew me, or had besn expecting ma tor some hours. The charming paid! presiding at the shrine of Bacchus wished to know if I was the party who had engaged the front rooms. I had to plead ignorance cf such trauactious. I was directed up stairs to see the hest. On the head stair way I met that gentleman. He said ho had been expecting me. He had mudo anrplo arrangements for my accommoda tion. I enquired if he had such a thing is a vacant room about the house. Yot>, he had several, but he had set apart a fine unite of front rooms for my exclusive use, with a private parlor attached, and, furthermore, a hot seasonable dinner, specially prepared for my refreshment, wag . that moment " smoking on the table, await ing my pleasure, in a private dining apart ment, liveiy comfort had been arranged Wider his personal supervision; the feast was now ready, would his guest walk in. I clutched at the banisters for support, and , tried to think whether or not I was Horace \ Greeley, and in accents mild requested ; explanations touchiug this unusual and i aumpluous reception. I was conlidcu twlly instructed he had received a mes- I Mge over the wires authorising half of Ms house to be held in readiness for my I tervics. I held my breath, expscting v | torchlight procession had been sent over i the line to close* up the arrangement. My 1 hair stood on end; I had no knowledge 1 of any telegram.

HOW THE EDITOR SUSTAINED THE HONOUR OF HOKITIKA. It appears that this telegram was wired C.O.D. After paying several shillings for [ its contents the editor considered it incum '- 'bent on him to see that ilolcitika made a i suitable reception for his visitor expectant. With the message between his thumb and 1 finger he went round to the Empire Hotel | and bade the proprietor kill and make I ready to receive the distinguished New I Yorkist. He next, it is said, interviewed iii his tailor, and secured a bell-topper hat at 'f the damage of a guinea, and, attired in a | boiled shirt, invited some select friends aud a officials in municipal authority to be present I at a banquet andreception prospective, and then took Uia stand at the step 3ot the | Empire to do the honors.

Sunday School Centenary.

ROBERT RAIKES, OF GLOUCESTER, FOUNDER OF SUNDAY-SCHOOLS

IN ENGLAND,

The present week being specially act apart [or the coutenary festival of Suuday-scliools, which have been so strikingly beneficial in their religious influence upon many thou sands iv all lands, a short account of the benevolent founder will not be out of place. We take the fact 3 from a biography of Kaikes, written by Mr R. 11. Drew :— " Kobert Raikes, the founder of Sunday schools, called also tho Gloucester Philan thropist, was born in Gloucester in the year 1735, aud died in 1811. The father of this noble man was ft printer and publisher of the "Gloucester Journal,'' a paper of note iv that day. In due time Kobert Raikes became very useful in that establishment, and manifested, at an early age, an aptitude for compiling striking incidents calculated to extend the sale of the journal. At an early age we find that ho was a bright light. Ilia self-denying labours were often men tioned by the Wesleys, Whitfield, and Rowland Hill. Robert Raikes confined his zealous efforts to his own city of Gloucester aud the county for some time. All around ho saw vice nod misery. Ho saw that literature was poisoned at the fount. The Press worked with little regard to principle, ofteu selling itself to the highest bidder. The industrial classes were so besotted and sunken that gaols and Bridewells were filled with men and women, youug and old, herded together and imprisoned for acts of violence and crime, showing that vice was rampant. These were the days when the gibbet and gallows stood thick throughout the land. Kobert Raikes struck out for himself a new sphere of usefulness, and found his first class of Sunday scholars of the inmates of the county Bride well in the city of Gloucester. Hubert Raikes, being endowed with a good share of prescience, saw the best method of winning the class he sought to help. He had now become proprietor of the " Glou cester Journal," aud he wielded his pen to great advantage ; he drew public attention to the changed condition of hia Bridewell students, and ii soon became known that that place had become a model prison. His self-denying efforts to reclaim the outcast, his generous and ever-active mind, drew around him the admiration of all who sought tlie food of the masses throughout the country ; he saw that ignorance, young and old, was the cause of so muuh crime, as in that day very few could read or write, and, in many cases, kuew but little even ot the first prin ciples of religion. The country fair, with pothouse aongx, revels, aud other scenes, he knew was not calculated to raise the people. His large heart was much moved iis he looked around the city, for he saw there crowds of caildren half-ffi'l, badly clothed, and shoeless, training for lie hulks, the prison, aud the gallows, aud as tie iourneyed through village and town around the city like .scenes; presented themselves. Undaunted he set to work, and by p?n and personal effort soon wrought a change. ID his time the Sabbntli was a day of not. The difficulties experienced by Koikes in pursuance of his plan are graphically told by the biographer. Kaikes1 first plan was as follows:—! he children" to gather at 10 o'clock in the morning and be instructed by each teacher singly and collectively till 12 o'clock, then go quietly home and return at 1 and after reading a lesson they were con ducted to church. After church they were to be employed in repeating the catechism till half-past five, aud tlicn dismissed, with an injunction to go home without making a noise, and by no means to play in the streets. This was the general outline of the regulations in that dark day amongst a class of such depraved children. We hear the good man say, " My first Sunday gather ing exceeded my most sanguine expecta tions " We find also that during the we^lc he was untiring in lm visits to the parents of the children, daily remonstrating with them and pointing out to them the melan choly consequences that must ensue fiom the neglect of their children's morals. tie was often met by the parents with the re tort that their poverty Prevented them from clothing their children suitably to.ap pear in church or school on Sunday. This L met by saying if they were clad as they were when they ran the streets they would be welcome to the school, font was open to fully answer, "None!1 Mr, Kal, K£^rr!i to the ripe age of 76, honoured and beloved, and BurronnSed by the fruits of Us philan. thT°o Pi Ceach Oe"and friends of Auckland Bun day-schools we would say, If joa dosiro a full and genuine account of the ife and labours of Robert Raikes you will hnd itjin a neat volume which may be had of the booksellers or at the Sunday-school Union Depot,

DUCJALD Mo- Nauuhton.—Claim, £G1 6d on a judgment suinmous.—Ou the application of the plain till the case was adjourned for a month. Defended Cases.

A. A. Prekce v. Robert Cashmore.— Claim, £41 ISs, balance of account. There was a further claim of £39 4s for services.— Mr Tyler appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr Theo. Cooper for tha defendant.—The former said that he was not prepared to go on with the case, and he supposed, there fore, that in accordance with tho under standing come to on last Court day it would have to be struck out. It was agreed that the costs of the adjournment should be borne by tho plaiutift, but although he had telegraphed to him he had received no com munication. It was probable that tho plaintiff found it impossible to reach Auck and in time.

Matthew Hendurson v. Alexander VVBIGHT.—CIaim, £81 for work,.etc. This case had been referred to the arbitrament of Mr John Lowe,C.E., and his award was now read. It awarded the sum of £30 to the plaintiff, each party bearing his own share of the costs of reference, and the defendant to pay the costs of the award, viz , £5 ss.

Thomas Madden v. Richard Bvrne Cliiiin, £2110s for wages.—Mr K. Hesketh appeared for the plaintiff, aud Mr Thome for the defendant.—Mi- Hesketh, in his opening statement, explained that the action was bronght to recover for 52 weeks and 2 days' wages, at 35s par week.—The defeuce was threefold, viz. (1). That the defendant was not indebted, and (2) that the plaintiff with another person catered into a joint agreemeut *o fell a quantity of timber, and that they should receive pay ment when the said timber was sold, and (3rd),that this timber had not yet been sold. This contract was denied by the plaintiff. It was proposed, but he refused poiut blank to agree to it. A specific agrrement to pay the plaintrlf was then cutered into by tho defendant, and work was accordingly commenced.—Madden was the first witness examined. He deposed that he was a bushmau. and that the defendant was a timber merchant, carrying on business at Pnparoa. He worked for him from the 11th of January, 1879, till the 7th of April, 1880. During the progress of the work the defendant came to him aud his fellow-bush men and told him that in consequence of having been "done out " of some timber ho could not pay them then, but that if they continued their labours he would endeavour to sell the timber before Christmas, and pay them in full out of the proceeds. On the strength of the unsold timber they enjoyed a fortnight's holidays at Christmas-time, (Laughter). Four other witnesses were examined. When the reporter left the Court His Honour was summining up adversive to the plaintiff. (Left sitting.)

POLICE COURT.—THIS DAY.

(Before R. C. Barstow, Esq., R.M.) DRUNKENNESS. James Carden was fined 5s for this offence, aud Daniel Nelson aud John Doyle 10s, being Sunday cases. MarULysaght, charged under the Vagrant Act with being an habitual drunkard, was ordered to prison for nine months with hard labour. ELIZA IN A RAGE. Eliza Lestrange was again brought up ou charges of drunkenness and disorderly conduct in Custom House-street last night. Constable Simmons was a witness of the girl's strange conduct. Seven days with hard labour. UNLAWFUL ASSAULT. Dugald McNaughton was brought up on three charges of unlawful assault upon females on the evening of the 26th June. The prisoner was first charged with assaulting Susan Bushell on the 2(ith inst., by pulling her about. Piisoner said he had no recollection of having committed the assault. Susan Bushcll, a respectable married woman, wife of Henry Bushell deposed : I reside in Nelson-street. About 10 p.m. I was returning from Parnell with some friends, and when reaching Constitution Hill, near the Supreme Court, the prisoner rushed forward and caught mo by the arm. I struck at him with my umbrella f ami he used very indecent lauguage towards Jane Collins, wife of Henry Collins, was returning from the Good Templar meeting at Parnell. Saw prisoner catch Mrs Bushcll by the arm, but did not hear the language usud by prisoner. Mary Mincham gave similar evidence. The prisoner was then charged with as saulting Jane Collins aud Mary Miucham in a similar manner. Sub-Inspector Pardy said there was no doubt as to the identity of the prisouer. _ Edwin Lightfoot was coming up Consti tutiou Hill at;the time. Saw a part of the outrage on the women, aud was positive as to prisoner being the man. Constable Dodd deposod to arresting the prisoner on the charges. Prisoner • I was in that state of drunken ness which deprives a man of his powers of memory. I don't remember being in the neighbourhood on So turday. His Worship eaid ho must pas 3 such a sentence upon prisoner as might have the effect of deterring others from committing such outrages upon females. He must take six months' imprisonment with hard labour.

ALLEGED LARCENY.- Wm Cook, a pcreou of small stature, was again brought up on a charge of stealing a gold watch, chain, and locket, on the 29th January, the property of Charles Hunt, at Dargaville. Prisoaer pleaded not guilty. Sub-Inspector Pardy said that the prose cutor was living in a remote district thirty miles from Dargaville, and had not been able to «et to Auckland. Kemanded until Friday next. This was all the business.

ALBERT HALL.-"NICK WHIFFLES."

The lirst dramatic effort of this newly oreaniacd company of players met with a discouraging reception on Saturday evening in the Albeit Hall. The drama of the evening was " Nick WhiHios " (adapted by one of the company from a volume of the t worthy of commendation, and some of the epreseutativea-especiallyYoungandMac. c-ihe-made that little worse. Mr Young KsSlocum) was exceedingly - in fact stepv • and Maccabe (as the young wheip) Shed by the lire, half-scared aad voice le=s The hero was turned by Mr Byers, who seemed to lack lire, although he held a twagant portU of the Pennsylvaniaa

There were two or three instances of fair acting, but the incidents depicted left no favourable impression, the motives of action being inexplicable. " Nick Whiffles " con tarns a maximum of excitement with a minimum of improbabilities, and the dia logue never rises into the region of dramatic poetry. Miss Jessie Raymond appeared to advantage as Sylvecn, the most agreeable character of the drama. Mrs Leonard also made a good fignro as Mra O'Malley. The pianist, a stranger, was evidently a careful musician, and would be sure of a syrapa tuctic reception in any society by reason of the melodic thought pervading his appro, pnate selections. "Nick Whiffles" was not a success even as a composition. It is difficult to discover interest in a number of ill-defined characters, without moral mean ing, in a number of uncertainties, where the narrative is lost amid the eccentric move ments of the actors.

Mining News.

HARBOUR VIEW G.M.C.

The annual meeting ot the Harbour View G.M.C., advertised for Saturday, lapsed for want of a quorum. The following is the directors' report :— "The principal work done in the mine during the past year was by the tribute parties, Nash aud Co., Mills and Co., and Mollsop and Co. The directors put on a couple ot men in the early part of the year to prospect No. _ level and the stopes in No. 5 level, but not finding payable ground, work was discontinued.

"Nash and Co. stoped out a largo block of ground on their leader with fair success. During the past twelve months they crushed 14 tons quartz and 456 lbs. of specimens and picked stone for a return of 2SS ounces 18 dwt. of golcl, from which the Company received £191 12g <.d as tribute. For the past three months they have been prospecting with poor results. They are now driving on the leader in their low level, and putting up a rise to connect with the upper workings. The country through which they are passing is hard and bad to work, nud progress is very slow accordingly. Having a good sized block of ground to work out they hope to strike another patch of gold. "Mills aud Co., in the old No. 1 level, have just crushed 2 tons quartz aud 251b'. Hpeciineus for a return of 2G ounces gold, from which the company received £11 14s as tribute. They havo worked the patch out and are now prospecting in the same neighbourhood.

Mollaop and party have done a great deal of work iv the jSo. 4 level without meeting with any success. They are still persever iugaud hope to strike a patch by and bye. The directors would recommend a low level tuuu^l being put in to cut Nash's leader, from which payable gold was got in the upper workiugs. "All the directors, viz., MessrsF. Wool lams, C. King, H. Brett, G. Harper, and Wm. Home, retire, but being eligible oiler themselves for re-election. An auditor will have to be elected.—For the directors, F. Woollams, Chairman. Cororuandel, May 31, 18S0. The balance-sheet showed receipts for Wallis's tribute, £191 12s 6'd ; from Mills' tiibuto, £11 14s; calls £47 3s; survey fees, £i is. The expenditure left a balaucc of £21 'Si Cd in the bank.

COROMANDKL, this day.

The Manager of the Union Beach is very sanguine of striking gold during the present week.

The Tokatea and Bismarck Companies have accepted the tender of Mr Waulass to drive G'OUft. on No. 7 level. Ti;e contract is expected to be completed at the end of the year.

GKAHAMSTOWN, this day. The Caledonian will be able to com mence winding to-morrow, wheu the levels will be cleatoJ, "nd both the Kurauui and Caledonian will be able to break down reefs when the mullock has been taken out of the way.

The Kuranui have 20 feet of reef stripped, and will have a good test of the lode at the next breaking down. A few loaders are noticed coming into the reef, which may dis« close gold. The Goldeu Crown got a few pounds of nice specimens in shooting down on Satur day evening and this morning, but nothing remarkably good will strip to the junction of the leader, and thus break down again to-morrow or Wednesday. The Whau is slightly improved since Friday, when it looked poor, owing to the appearance of a large white reef, which is now disappearing, and better country shewing. There is nothing new in the other mines.

THE INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL.

Pending Official Enquiry

A report was current about town on Saturday to the effect that Dr. Philson had received a communication from the Govern ment intimating that he had been appointed to institute and conduct an official enquiry into certain chaiges against the manage ment of the Neglected aud Destitute Chil dren's Home. It was rumoured that the doctor had declined the responsibility. The charges referred to, though of a somewhat vague and shadowy character, were gene rally known toexi-it through the publication in the local press of sonic correspondence with respect'to theni nnd therefore the news of the step taken by the authorities excited much interest aud was eagerly discussed. We made some enquiries on the subject and found that a message had come to hand conveying the intelligence of Dr. Philson's appointment. This morning one of the honorary ollicers of the Institu tion received a telegram fnn Mr J. A. ilislop (Under-Secretary fo. Education) stating that the Rev. Mr Habcns (Inspector General of Schools), had been appointed a Commissioner to inquire iuto the charges iilluded to, and that he might be expected to arrive in Auckland within eight or ten days. The obvious inferences from this despatch arc either that Dr. Philson lias really declined to undertake the enquiry or that Mr Habeus is intended to co-operate with him in it. The former alternative seems the more probable for the weight and onerous character of^ the doctor's medi cal duties would warrant him in refusing any extra work which might tend to inter fere with the fulfilment of the cluims already m"dc "upon his time. As the subject is now iv a sense sub judico, it would be unfair to comment upon it, but it is quite within our province to take cognisance of the fact that the result of repeated investigations has regendered a strong feeling of sympathy for the master of the Home iv the public mind, The opinion therefore is prevalent that the accusations are frivolous ones, and that Mr Stickley can face the proposed inquisition with per fect composure.

Firing for Mrs Clark's Cttp.

THE competition for Mrs Clark's Cup, commenced sorao time since, was resumed aud completed on Saturday afternoon. Only 15 competitors appeared on the ground, and the shooting proved rather indifferent. This may partly be accounted tor by the fact that each marksman was obliged 10 firo alternately on either target, that on the left being half phaded. Vol unteer Theo. Fairs, of the Victorian Com pany, made the highest score on Saturday, and as his aggregate is also the highest, the trophy falls to him. Major Derrom was in command of the firing party, and no other officer was present while the contest was going on. Wo subjoin the score list :— 500 600 Previous Names. yds. yds. Tl. Score. Ag. Theo.
