Waikomiii, but has not given satisfaction, as there were not enough carriages to bring tne people who deairct 1 to tiave). At several stations there were many disap pointed pi asure-tcekers unable toiiiidcven standing room, and the train left them standiue on the platform. Another circum stance detracting from the glory of the lirst opening of the line was, that the solitary engine attached to the train could not pnH it up one of the hills. In yam did Sergeant- Mfijor Mason pet nut and shake his stick at Her Majesty's feeble locomotive. In vain did strongmen get out and push. The train had to be cut fu two. A fey words must be given to describing the TRIP FROM AUCKLAND. The train left Auckland station crowded with excursionists, many of whom were at tracted by the inducements of (ravelling oa the new line ot railway. ijergeaut-Major Mason c;inic on boaid with a strong force of po'ice.

As the train arrived at the Mount Eden station the want of more carriages was sad'y fe)t. Here Impey's Land played a tui.o in celebration of the stopping of the firat passenger train. At Mount .Albeit there was renewed growling from a disappointed public. Upward of a pcorc were left behind, absolutely unable to find staudini! loom. At the Wb.au station n'ore were It ft. On arriving at the couise there was a gicat cowd. An excellent dinner wt:s prepared by the hostess of the Charelinont Hotel (Mrs McClunghen) who had the booths and a good supply. ANTICIPATORY NOTES. Pending the slatting of (the first race I will send a few notes. The Maiden Plate is the lirst event. l.eunard's Othello was much fancied for thi->, but will not go. Gilderoy is to start first favourite and may be spotted as winner. The Hurdle Uace {iromisrs to be an exciting affair. Sports man ar.d Harry Mount, the two renowned pro vincial burdleraccrs will again meet, and to see these two hordes doing battle for the victory, it will be sufficient in itself to ren der the l ace an interesting one. Sportsman meets Hany Mount on better terms than at the Taniaki. He arrived here yesterday, aud his owneis are determined that every effort shall be made to briug the laurels back again to tbe Te Awamutu stables, Papalia's supporters insist that he, tr.o, has a chance, and as a hurdle race is not lost till it is won, let Papaka have the benefit of the doubt. Ha-old, from Ngarua whie, and Ellosmero are also to go. As the bell is ringing for the Maiden liace, 1 must •stop further remarks. 1.30 o'clock.

Sportsman caused grei.t disappointment by running round the second hurdle iv com pany with ChhiHpy. Venus and Harry Mount crossed the foutrh hurdle together, Canltou's horse leading past tho stand, Malvoin coming up a good third. The race evidently lay between these three barring accident. 'The seventh hurdle biought Malvern alongside Venus, Harry Mount was whipped forward, and Malvern was called on but too late; the last hurdle was jumped in excellent style by Harry Mount with inside running. Malvern swerved to the outside end of the hurdle, made a ricketty jump, and Hany Mount thns passed the judge's box half a length winner. The lace thus had a finish of the most ex citing character, the game little horse from Waikato having proved a worthy competitor for Harry Mount. It is a pity that Sports man baulked.

Ponsonby Regatta.

Phesidpnt: His W orehip the. Mr.yor. Vice-presidents : Captain J. 11. T.. Harrison, J. A. Tole, Esq., M.H.8., End W. Swanson, Esq , 2J.H.R. UjirißE: Jas. Stodart, Ktq. Starter t Capt. W. Fa: quhar.

The success •* bich attended the efforts of the residents of Ponsonby last year in their desire to inaugurate an annual regatta was, it will be remembered, very marked, and hence no difficulty was anticipated in the carrying ort of tbe second regatta. A slrong acd energetic committee wa^ ap pointed, nnd with the assistance of the officers vho were chosen, a most attractive programme of contests was arranged. The entries, which were published in our Satur day evening's if sue, fully demonstrated the fact that consideiable interest was taken in the regatta, and notwithstanding that the amounts of the prizes were comparatively final], most of our crack sailing boats were placed amongst the list of intending com petitors.^ In the amateur gig races, the Club very wisely departed from the custom

ot giving money y>i izes, which has been common in Auckland The winning of trophies instead of money, will perhaps yet assist in drawing the line between the amateur and professional in Auckland. The p.s. Glenelg was to have been the flagship to-day, but owing to some repairs toher machinery beivig necessary, it was decided to send 'die loua. This steamer was anchored in the Channel between Shelly Beach aud Woousido. A considerable number tf spec raion were conveyed oii board her during the day by the North Shore Ferry Steamers from the Queen Sireet Wharf and by small boats winch plied between Shelly Beach and ; tho steamer. , Many hundreds of .spectators also occupied tho points of vantage on the cliff along the Ponsonby side ot the river. Tho weather was beauti fully fine, and the water iv the morning w;:.s sufficiently calm for the rowing races. '■ here was a like southerly breeze durin" the subsequent part of the day, sufficiently strong to make the sailing races interesting. Captain Purqnhar officiated as starter, and Mr James Stoddart as umpire, and the manner in which both gentlemen fulfilled their duties, appeared to give general satis faction. Mr. M. McLeod, the providore of tho loua, supplied an excellent repast at noon, and notwithstanding the short notice afforded, the wants cf those on board were well attended to. The line brass band of the Ilob^on Com; any was on board during the day end contributed in no sma'l degree to the pleasure of the spectators.

"When the Il.ig was lowered, Morpeth went away with the lead. Henderson cl"sely fullowcd him. but Brighani, who had not a proper boat, and who prly entered to make up the race, did not really start. The course lay from Shelly Beach in the direction ot Freeman's Bay. Morpeth drew away from his opponent going down, but when oil' Parson's landing place, Henderson put ova spurt, and appeared u> be gaining. Suddenly he dis appeared from view, and a moment later ho wns seen in th.o water, holding ou to hi bp.at, which had capsized and lillei). He was picked up by a boat which put oil from Ihc shore.

King, 2; Lijuscombe, bow j Scott, cox. The Ijwiftsure was entered to make up the race, and the crew wai made up of tho Auckland juniors. An excellent start was ellected, the Kumoa aud Auckland boat getting oil very well together. One of tho Swiftauro men managed to get his o.r overboard, and hence the boat did not go. The Auckland crew went oil' with a very steady stroke, while the Ponsonby men were rather faster. The latter took the lead going across into Freeman's Bay, and the buoys were rounded about the same time by each boat. Coming back the Auckland men kept well up the stream, while tho coxswain of the Ponsonby crew, notwithstanding that there was a strong ebb tide, steered his boat straight across the river. The natural result was that the Ponsonby men had a much longer course to travel over. The Auckland crew, without having been called upon to make au effort, wou by a length. 3rd Race, 10.30 a.m.—Kour-Oaued Gigs (no Outriggers), property of liny rcco^iiLjd Itfvviug Club ; rowed by amateur iucinb!:r_ of the same under 21 years of aj;e.

A good start between Auckland and llic Kuinea was effected, the Swiftsure not competing, The boaU kept well together throughout the course, and the race homo was a good one. Uoth crews pn'led hard, but Auck land won by a length. Tho result of the race was a surprise to many, Ponsonby bjiug considered certain for it. ith Race, 11.SO a.m.—Yachts, linger 7 tons.

The wind being a leading one the Volante became a strong favourite before the race started. When the qua fired, she had htr canvas on first, aud was scudding down the harbour when the ethers had barely wsy on. The Jessie Logan took second place, and the Lala, whicii did not appear to be at all well handled, followed with her balloon ■jib Hying loose. The Jessie Logan overhauled the Volante going down down the harbour, and when the buoy oil' the North Shore fcjaudspit was rounded she was loading by a small distance. The Lala which also gained considerably in the rim down, held second place immediately after the buoy was rounded. The boats then stood over in the direction ot Judges' Bay, ihe Jessie Logan gaining all the way actors When the second buoy was ronuded, the Jessie Logan was still leading with the Lala second. They then stood up for the Hags-hip, and the Volante was seen to gain, considerably. When the wharf was reached (»he was to windward of the Jessie Logan, and oil' the flagship she was some distance ahead. The Lala meanwhile held third place, being about live hundred be hind the Jessie Logan. Cuining uown from Kauri Point tho VoJaute increased her lead considerably, the Jessie Logan being second, with the Lala a very respectable distauce behind. sth Race, noon—Opkn Railing Boat*, over 20 f-e r, by mcasurmout.

She thus lost about three or four miles, as the course was not round this buoy on the first run up tlip harbour, The other boats kept up the harbour, the Missing link keeping her second position. sth Race.—While off the North Shore, on the second time round, the Lala got a fluke which made her first boat. Coming up the harbour, she wa^ leading with the Jessie Logan second, and Volante third.

Jones' Alert did not start, the owner con sidering there was notsuiltcient wind. The Toy took tbe lead, with the Missing Link second, and the Mabel third. The course lay up the river, and when the buoy oil' Kauri Point was' rounded, the Toy had a lead of four minutes. The Missing Link still had second piace, and the Mabel last. The last-named boat gained on the Missing Link coming down the har bour, and when the lona was passed, they were very close to each other. The Toy, with her " kites " set, increased her lead very considerably going down the harbour,"and she was a long way ahead when the Judge's Bay buoy was rouuded. The start in'lhia race was not a very good one. Halstead's new boat, the Hattie May, took the lead, with the Pastime second, the U.P. third, Whip fourth, Comet fifth, and Ponsonby last. Seme delay was ex perienced in getting in the mainsail of the Porjsouby to set, and cousequenty she was some distance behind the others. When the Watchman was reached, however, Am held the positionjof fourth boat, the Hattie still being iirst, with the Whip second. The Pastime got into a good windward position, and kept third place, An attempt was

made to set the topsail of the U.P. while she was under way, but it proved unsuc cessful, and nhe had to lie brought up into the win 1 Ijctoro it could be accomplished. A considerable distance was thus lo:-t. The Fonsoaby continued to show her heels, and very soon went through the other boats.

Ellerslie Gardens.

(Per Star Carrier Pigeon)

The athelctic spotta at tho Ellcrslie Gardens attracted a largo number of spec tators, and much interest was taken in the various events. The Gardens were in their lost trim, aud showed marks of attention and good t:iste. The course was also in gnod order, and presented a suitable! ground for running, and the large number of entries which had been received ensued a good day's sport. JMr Brenan the Secreiarj has spared neither time nor expense in hu en deavours to make these sports a success, and on this occasion he has undoubtedly realised his fondest anticipations. The three principal events arc tho 100yards.,200 yards, and 300 yards handicaps, for which some of our best local pedestrians have entered and will prove very exciting contests. Several booths were erected in the gardens, where refreshments were] nerved out to visitors, aud the intermission during tho various races was enlivened by a baud under tbu leadership of the batulmaster. 100 Yards Handicap.

Domain Athletic Sports.

The programme of the Athletic Sports, arranged in connection wii'u tho scries of contests between J. R, Hutton, of local colebrily, and Frier, of Gisborne, for the Championship ot Auckland aud £50 a-sido, bad the effect of attracting a largo concourse of people to the Domain this afternoon. The genial autumnal weather was of itself a strong inducement to pleasure seekers to pay the Domain a visit, and the fact was apparent from the number of perambu lators wheeled by the careful fathers that made an appearance upon the ground. Nearly every umbrageous tree afforded shelter to a group of spectator*, while the circular promenade was fully occupied by young people of either sex, intent upon seeing and being seen. A con siderable number of curious sight seers pre ferred to save the admission fee by remain ing outside the fence whence a fair view of the course was to be obtained. The racing arrangements wore of a rather primitive character. A few boundary ilags marked out the racing; limits but no provision whatever had bcou msde for keeping back the crowd from the centre ot ihe enclosure, and thus preserving equal facilities of ob servation for all. Neither wore there- any stewards-to maintain order. The inevitable consequence was that as soon as the pre parations were made for any race the com petitors were surrounded by a jostling and miscellaneous crowd, whose eagerness to see all that was going on effectually denied the same privilege to those who were contcut to recline or sit at a more re spectful distance. The evil practice re ferred to has so often been pointed out ii connection with these athletic com petitions, that no valid plea can be advanc ed in palliation of the lack or preparation amongst sporting men, very little betting appeared to be going, with respect to the big event, and the circumstances may per haps be accounted for-by the general incer titude concerning Frier's previous perfor mances, and present capabilities, singularly enough two sweepstakes did not appear to find much favour and for once, therefore, the speculative instincts of the public remained dormant. A couple of booths presented the moans of refreshment to the patrons of the sports, but there was no band to cater to their pleasure. This was a serious deficiency, and one that pro prietors of sports should never fail to supply. We apuend a description of the various events :—

Match fok hie Championship and £50 A-SIDE. First Distance, 150 yds. J. R. Hutton 1 J. H. Frier 2 The interest of the day centred in the three races between Huttou and Frier for the championship and inci dental money, and the advent of the contestants upon the course was awaited in anxious expectancy. Ilutton has so long held undisputed the foicrao.it position amongstthe short-distance runners of Auck land that the announcement of a rival, aud a subsequent challenge, provoked much surprisa. At about a quarter-past two Hutton, accompanied by his trainer, ad vanced to the racing bounds, whither he was followed almost immediately by Frier. The latter is a young man man of medium stature and strongly knit frame, but his running form suffered greatly by contrast with that of the local man. llutlo.i at once became a hot favouiitc, and the accuracy of the popular opinion was soon verified. After the lapse of some time spent in a vain endeavour to clear the coursethemen were despatched by Mr I. E. Kllis to a splendid start. Huttou imme diately run to the fiont, and before half the prescribed distance had been traversed he had increased his lead to a dozen yards, while his opponent was unmistakably used up, Huttou won easily. The astonishment of the spectators was unbounded, aud the con fidence of the challenger was vigorously commented upon. The race was certainly a very one-sided affair.

Thames Volunteer Review.

(BY TELEGRAPH.)

GEAHAMSTOWN, Saturday

Colonel Lyon, Major Murray and a large number of citizens, went out to meet the Waikato Cavalry at Kerikeri, aud on the arrival of the column at Polien-strcst they were received by tho Thames bauds, while au Artillery .salute was iiruil by the Naval Brigade. On the way to tho Pacific eoi'ner the Volunteers were enthusiastically cheered, and on thoir arrival His Worship the Mayor, Mr L. Ehrenfiied welcomed them, expressing a hope that there would be an annual inter change of visits, and abating that the cavalry were the finest he had seen in New Zealand. He then called for three cheers for Colonel Lyon and his cavalry, and the invitation was warmly responded to. Colonel Ljon and Major Jackson expressed their thanks, and three cheers were given for the Mayor and Thames residents. The horses were stabled on the reclaimed laud; and the men billited at various hotels. '1 he Thames Fire Brigade gave a grand pyro technic display in the evening. This day.

GREAT LOSS OF iSIIIiEl1.

NAPIER, This day

The bar ]h still very bad. The outward English j mails are left behind, as the liotorua w."».s not communicated with. Great indignation U expressed as it is gener ally thought tho life boat could have f^oue out if it had started at the proper time. Communication with most of tho country districts i-i restored. Tho coaches arc still unable to run through tho Seventy-Mile Bush.

Mr Tanner lost ],500 sheep, and Colonel Whitmorc 200 by the flood*.

WHOLESALE HOUSES BEWARE.

A lady of very prepossessing appearance was in town a few day a;_'o, of whom a tradesman said "that above almost anybody in the world this customer he would nhun,ns being almost a serpent in her way." In one hundred cases of nurd serving, only once might a sixpence be extracted from her. in company with another lady she is iv the habit of calling upon shops with a sample of goods to got a patern, which perhaps was in failuon iv day t of yore. They look ut this piece of goods and tliar, .■•peaking of all they see aa being admirable, but no purchase is made until the patient tra-iessman ia goaded to rudeness. Another assistant iv the shop, who is renowned for sweetness of disposition, paid that klio could prove that the ladies in question possessed the very root ot meanness. She alHrmed that tho ladies lived in tho country some time ago, and camo to town fora week or so—that they loth went round the wholesale tea mcichauts pretending to buy, getting samples, which when put together, kept them in tea for tho time they were in Auckland, and also got several sample.* of wine from which they made up large bottle?. The veracity of the informants cannot be questioned for a moment, Moral to whole sale merchants, show your samples, but don't send them out.!

MESSRS. GRANT AND POST I'll IN ACKNOWLEDGMENT.;

(To the Editor.)

Sir, —Will you allow us, through the me dium of your paper, at the close of our visit to New Zealand, to thank the people gene rally of your district for the many act-< of kindness which wo have received at their hands : At home colonial hospitality is pro verbial, and wo have found it to exceed its reputation ; the house of everyone ha? been open to us, and all, without exception, have been desirous to show us unreservedly every thing which could tend to give a true idea of the country, and enable U3 to furnish to the a^riculturalislw of Englaml a fair and unbiassed report of the condition and pros pects of the limning interest here. We are sorry that we can only thank our Month in New Zealand, as wo think we arc fairly en titled to call them, in this general manner, but their number is such that while to omit any would be invidious, to write to each separately would beimpotsible.—Yours, &c., S. Grant, J. G. Fostkp.

EDEN TERRACE DISTRICT.

(To the Editor.)

Slß,—lmmediately after tho close of the last general election, a sum of money wns handed by the victorious caudidate, Mr J. A . Tole, Ksq., M.U.R., for the elector.at district of Eden, to Mr 1). Wnite and my self, to Ijc appropriated towards some bnne iicial object in the district. At that titno there exinted a Phiscognoscosphocraphy Society, who were withont hall or library. We decided that if the Phiseoguosoospho craphickei'3 built a hall, that wo should baud them the money towards the purchase of a libraiy. The money was placed iv the Auckland Savings' Bank in our joint names atintcrcston bobalfof thePhiscoguoscospho craphicitcs. As Mr Waite and myself liave left the district-, and uuder the impression that the residents arc not aware of tho ex istence of such a valuable gift. I cravo space iv your bright luminary, and permis sion to acquaint them with the above facts. I am, etc., W. J. Suiter. Mamikau load. Paruell, March 27, iSSO.
