The reported robbery of quartz from the Old Whau mine turns out to be a mistake. It is now believed that none of the reef was taken away, as the {hole into the Old Whau workings has always been slabbed and covered with mullock, in which condition it was found by the " Advertiser" reporter, who visited the mine yester day.

Auckland Annual Regatta.

There ia now every indication that the Regatta to-morrow will be one of the most successful ever held in this port, and should the weather prove favourable, we have no hesitation in saying that it will be more interesting to the general public than any of its predecessors. The number of entries received last night was very encouraging, and others from vessels not then in port may he anticipated. We are glad to see that the North Shore people have aroused themselves from their lethargy, boats bav in" been entered from the Bowing Club of that district in the senior aud junior amateur gig races. An outrigger from North Shore was also entered, and another from Freeman's Bay made up the race, so that we shall see the Thames crew compet ing in their new boat this year. There wa3 only one entry for the coasting vessels gigs, but post entries are expected to make up the required number. The Sculler's Race contrary to expectations, brought_ five entries, and there were also sufficient in the dingy race for a start. No entries were received for the man-o'-war cutter and barge races, only two or three of the latter being able to compete. The arrival of the Sybil this morniug made another competitor in the first race, and it is just possible that one or two others many arrive in time. The Borealis, Annie Wilson, and Mazeppa were sailing up and down the harbour yesterday evening, and they excited considerable interest, the end of the Queen-street Wharf being lined with specttaore. . There were also several cutters out before dusk. The Regatta Club Committee has made com plete arrangements for conducting the day's sports, and Mr J. Marshall, the hon. secre tary, has been most energetic aud indefatig able in his exertions to please all concerned, and to make the whole affair as successful as possible. The Tararua will act as flag ship on the occasion, and the public will be conveyed on board by the paddle steamer City of Cork. We may also state refreshments will be supplied on board by the steward of the vessel at a reasonable price. The s.s. Coromandel is announced to make an excursion round Tiri Tiri in company with the competitors in the schooner and larger cutter race, and as the charge 2s Gd is very low, many will doubt less avail themselves of this opportunity of witnessing these interesting contests, and also of enjoying a pleasant trip. The North Shore Ferry Company's Steamers will make regular trips to the North Shore during the day, conveying those desirous of viewing the races from Mount Victoria or North Head. The p.s. Enterprise will also cruise about the harbour during the afternoon, leaving the wharf once every hour. Considerable interest was evinced in the receiving of entries last night, and there were about five hundred persons in the vicinity of the Cosmopolitan Hotel shortly before nine o'clock. The following are the

That on the occasion referred to the signal, or what appeared to be the signal, was exhibited plose under the balcony, where it could with riiiffriflty be observed) and in bad weather could not hs saen at all. 2 That the signal should be clear of. the lighthouse, and that the signal, if made, tad not been properly made. That the pilot {service had done everything possible to assist the keeper of II was agreed that full information should be forwarded to the Marine Department. A letter from the Town Clerk, claiming £112 Is 9d rates fa? breakwater allotments,, was referred to the Finance Committee. In reply to a letter from Mr J. McEwen, demanding payment for repairs to beaco^ the Secretary was instructed to inform him that the payment would be made when the work is completed to the satisfaction of the Engineer. A letterfrom Mr J. C. Doull, asking com pensation for loss of office, was referred to ithe finance Committee. jltwas agreed that the Government be asked .to refund £212 paid by the Board as land tax. The statement of accounts shewed : — Payment ,of accounts ordered, £844 10s 7d; to balance in bank, £653 6s 7d j cash in hand, £18 Is; total, £671 7s 7d. By accounts ordered to be paid as above, £844 10s 7d ; to balance (to debit), £173 3s. The report by the Chief Harbour-master and Pi£oi o# tjje dock Bhowed that the greatest depth of water oa the sill, at exceptionally high spring tides was slightly over 15ft., and the lowest depth at ordinary high tide, 10ft. There was a leakage in the dock,. A greater depth of water and accommoda tion for berthing was required for the in creased steam service. The engineer re ported a- serious leak in the dock, near the : engine-house ; that beacons and repairs to the Queen-street Wharf would be required. Mr Nathan said that £50,000 had been lost to Auckland through the inadequacy of the dock. It was agreed that the secretary prepare a return of the vessels which could not be docked.

Several new members were initiated, aril the meeting was adjourned until the evening of Tuesday) Jhe 3rd proximo

Papakura Races.

The Papakura Annual Races promises to be a very pleasant little meeting, providing the clerk of the weather will only give us a five day. Good entries and acceptances have been received for nil the events. The Hurdle Kace will open the ball, for which seven have cried coutent. Sportsman stands top of the tree, with list 101bj—a weight he is considered well able to carry. White foot, list, was reported to have a big leg previous to the A.l!.(\ summer meeting, aud, as he has done very little work since, I can hardly think he will catch the judge's eye first. Young Sledmere is a good jumper, and has shown he can both jump and galop. Destiny or Lark I cannot have at any price. Harry Mount I never believed in, even when he was in good hands and fit and well; so shall expect to see Sportsman first, with Young Sledmere second. The Maiden Plate has five nominations, Mr Walters being represented by Grand Duchess, and although she has done very little work and is reported very fat I shall look no further for the winner, trusting to Milkman to be her nearest attendant. The Papakura Handicap will, I think, prove to he a good one, and puzzles a good many to pick the top weight. Ariel, 9st 51 bs, I hardly think will have done sutlicient work to meet Malvern, Bst 21ba, as Donald Taylor has this horse as fit as hands caa make him, and lie having greatly improved since he met Ariel in the Auckland Cup, will take a lot of beating, although he meets him on 161bs worse terms. Piscatorious is a dark horse at this distance, but he comes from a galloping family, and in all the races he has yet started for he has shewn good form and won the Selling Race on New Year's Day like a racehorse. Barney is a grand pony, but I think the company here will be too good for him. Golden Crown I cannot have at any price. So I shall look for the winner to turn up in Pis catorius, with Malvern second. The Ladies Purse will go to whichever Walters likes to send. A special train has been laid, onto leave Auckland at 11 a.m., so I advise in tending visitors to be in time. NIMEOD.

AMATEUR ROWING RACES.

(To the Editor of the Star.)

In Monday night's issue of your paper " Manukau" states, that it ia very discredit, able, to the North Shore Rowing Club, that crews are not forthcoming for tho amateur rowing races. Your correspondent should ascertain facts before making such a state ment. Had the club a bout fit to compete, crews would have been forthcoming for all rowing races ; but, unfortunately, last winter a gale destroyed the shed, aud dam aged the boat*, putting the club to an ex pense of £70, to repair damages and erect a new shed, thus absorbing all the club funds and the new boat, which was intended to carry oft' the prizes this year, is still un built. To row in the present boat (the Regatta rules prevent borrowing) simply means certain defeat, and I do not think even your correspondent would care about going into a race under such circumstances. - EpWARD Wm. Buroess, Captain North Shore Rowjng Club.

SENSATIONAL PARAGRAPHS.- ASSAULTS UPON WOMEN.

(To the Editor.)

Silt,—l shall feel obliged by your inserting the following letter in correctipn of the very misleading paragraph t^at appeared in your issue of yesterday. "I went down to the railway wharf about " half-past seven" on Monday even ing to get a breath of fresh air, and my wife and neice started from homo to accompany me on my return at 8.45. They reached Custom-Housc-stroet about five minute 3to nine, and were walking in the road past the Britomart Hotel, when they observed a man coming towards them. My wife stepped on one side to avoid him, •when he suddenly seized her by her two wrists. She screamed, and the man with out speaking, released her and caught hold of my neice by both arras. She struggled and screamed, and some persons running up at the moment, he violently tore out one of the Bleeves of her dress and made off. My wife and neice then came to me, and I at once decided that I would do my best to prevent such shameful assaults on other ladies, and at once reported the matter to the police, giving them a description of the man and of the occurrence. About an hour after our reaching home, an officer was sent to ask bur attendance at the oflice, to try and identify a prisoner Serjeant Jackson had arrested in ParnelJ for assaulting a woman who resided there. On our arrival several men were brought in, and my niece at once pointed out the man who had as saulted her. The man did pot speak one word, neither did he attempt' any indecent attack, and as far as my relatives are con cerned he was guilty only of a common as sault. What his intentions may have been we do not know, and we concluded that the fellow was mad or a fool or both, as it was as light as day, almost, at the time, and in the centre of a public thoroughfare. Wh.at proceedings the police may have taken or intend to take wg do not know, but to charge tho man with anything' beyond a common aussaujt, as far as this case is con cerned would be as untrue as unjust. And as to the damaged dress, we should not think of making any claim, aud it ia only tbat I felt that it was a public duty to make a complaint to the police, that saved this case from being like hundreds of othors, passed over without an offort to detect the* offender, and thereby giving a license to some more serious and successful outrage. —Yours &c, W. 11. Shakespear.
