CORRESPONDENCE.

TRAMWAYS.

(To the Editor.)

Sir, —As the mover of the resolution in the Council in reference to tramways, I may be permitted to throw some light upon the quention, as it seems that few of the rate payers have followed the discusi-ion that took place on this matter. (1) The rate payers are simply asked to vote upon the abstract question of tramways or uo tram ways—aye or no. (2) It is very generally known that the Corporation will not con struct tramways, as such speculative enter prises would not be a legitimate use of city revenue. (3) Should the vote of the rate payers bein the affirmative as to the abstract question, it is intended to call for proposals and tenders for the right of construction. This being subject, of course, to such condi tion as may be deemed best for the protec tion of the ordinary traffic, and at the same time Insuring safe, convenient, comfortable, and cheap passenger conveyance by tram cars. (4) As to fares, when considering the different tenders for the right of construction, the chief element in granting the privilege must necessarily be the lowest maximum fare. (5) As to the routes pro posed, the Surveyor's report read at the last meeting of Council and published in the daily papers, will afford the required infor mation.—Yours, 6c,

M, Montague,

Silt,—lf Mr Atkin had followed up the discussion in the City Council with refer ence io tramways, he would not have had occasion to ask the questions in your paper of last evening. By what I have read I understand that the Council very plainly desire to have an expression of opinion from the ratepayers for and against tramways, and that if the Council themselves proposed to undertake such work and raise a loan they would have again to poll the rate payers. The Tramways Act, 1872, aud the Municipal Corporations Act, 1876, make every provision for the preservation of the interests of the ratepayers. I presume so soon as they have expressed an opinion at the poll, yea or nay, the various conditions and subjects particularized by Mr Atkin will be made public, and open for acceptance or rejection What the Council at present seem to require is the weight of public opinion iv authoris ing them to take steps to carry out the provisions of the Acts I have men tioned, which will, on perusal, give every information to those seeking it. Doubts have been expressed if trains are wanted. If such is really public opinion, what is the use in going to considerable expense in obtaining estimates and other particulars? If, however, "VoxPopuli" records the other way, then the Council will feel warranted in going to such ex penses.—Yours, &,,

THEATRE ROYAL.

KETTEN'S PIANO RECITAL,

This was given last evening for the benefit ot the director, Mr F. P. Pines. Mozart's "Turkish March" and Serenade from " Don Giovanni," was received with loud applauds. Three pieces by Gounod, " Aye Maria," "Serenade," and "Funeral March of a Marionette," were most exquisitely played, and delighted the audience. Mr Ketten's own selections were " Lied Ohne Worte," "Marguerite au Bouet," and " The Postillion," all of which, audi espec ially the last, were duly appreciated. His last performance was Liszt's "Rhapsodic Hongroise." Mr Ketten was recalled to the orchestra, and received a unanimous expression of applause from .those present, many of whom have been regular attendants at this series of performances by the most wonderful pianist that has ever visited Auckland.

A MISSOURI VIEW OF ART.

A well-known lady artist, resident in Rome, relates that while standing one day near the statue of Apollo Belvidere, she suddenly became aware of the presence of a country woman. The newcomer, a-well-to do looking woman, introduced herself as Mrs Raggles, of St. Louis, Mo., and then asked the question : " Is this the Apollo Belvidere ?" Miss H testified to the identity of the work, and the touiist then said : '' Considered a great Statue ?" The interrogated lady replied that it wa3 generally thought to be one of the master pieces of the world. " Manly beauty, and all that sort of thiug?''said the lady from the land of the setting sun. " Yes," responded the now amased artist. "It is said to be one of the noblest? repre sentations of the human frame." " Well," exclaimed Mrs Haggles, closing her Baedeker, and with arms akimbo taking a last and earnest look at the marble, " I've sreu the Apollo Belvidere and I've seen Haggles, and give me Raggles.'

SAILING RACES.

OPEN SAILING BOATS,

The sweepstakes race for open sailing boats under 20 tolls took place this after noon under conditions drawn up and agreed to yesterday. The principal of these were that two sails only were to be used, and that there should be no kites not changing of sails after the start. The contesting boats were the Hattie May, Eunice, Witch, Imp, Madgie, and Observer, ..lid the course Was as follows -—From the end of tho Queen street wharf round the Daphne's moorings, thence round the buoy ou the Saudspit at the North Head, thence round the Daphne's nioorin_p>, and round coal hulk to wharf again; twice round. At two o'clock, Captain John McKonzio (starter and stakeholder) despatched the boats to a fair start, the Eunice and Witch having whatever advautoge there was, the former through being the furthest down stream, and the latter through having the inside position. The Eunice, however, did not profit much by it, as both the Madgie and the Witch had caught her be fore she was well under weigh. Then the Madgie took up the leading position, sailing side by side. About 50 yards behind came tho Hattie May and Imp, also sailing side by side, and 10 yards to the rear of them, the Eunice and Observer, both closely together. At this slago tho race looked like a ceremonial procession, the appearance presented by the yachts being very pretty. The boats rounded tho Daphuc in the following order :— Madge ... 1 Imp ... ... ... ... 2 Hattie May 3 The rest of the boats were in a cluster.

JESSIE LOGAN V. TOY.

VICTORY FOR THE JESSIE LOGAN,

The raca which was arranged between these two boats for £20 a side came oil to-day. Considerable interest was excited in the event, and the respective merits of both competitors have beeu eagerly dis cussed during the last few days. The Toy was a great favourite in the race on Regatta Day, being backed as high as 3 to 1, but the victory of the Jessie Logau on that occasion had the effect of making her the favourite . to-day. Betting was pretty even on the race, but some of the Jessie's backers were possessed of sufficient confidence to offer 2 to 1, and these odds were quickly accepted. The time for the conimcncemcut of the race was not generally known, and it was expected that it would take place iv the afternoon. Thure was a good breeze how ever, from the southward about ten o'clock this forenoon, and it was agreed that the start should take place at once. The boats got into position off the Queen-street A'harf, the Toy having the inner or wind ward place. The Jessie Logan was moored a short distance to leeward of her. Captain J, McKenzie had been appointed to start the boats, and when he went out for that purpose there were a considerable number of persons on the end of the Queen-street Wharf. The course lay from thereround the buoy in Drunken Bay, thence to the chequered buoy in Kangitoto Channel, ronuding it on the west side, and from thence up the harbour, finishing off the Queen-street. The signal to go was givcu about 10.30 a.m. by Captain McKenzie. The start was a fairly gcod one, the boats gettiug away pretty well together. The Toy took the lead, and with spinnaker set, she soon had good way ou. The Jessie Logan followed her very closely, and the two competitors looked very pretty running down the harbour with the wind behind them. The Jessie Logan gained steadily, and off the North Shore wharf she took the lead. Passing North Head she was seen to be a short distance ahead, the Toy, how ever, holding to her opponent very closely. The Jessie Logan increased her lead down to the Drunken Bay buoy, which she rounded a short time before the Toy. She also gained steadily in the beat up, and off the Tamaki the Jessie Logau appeared to be a good mile and a halt ahead on the stretch. The yachts then stood in the direction ot the chequered buoy iv Bangitoto Channel. The positions were not changed iv the run down, aud the Toy did not appear to have lost anything, in fact, she rather appeared to have decreased the distance that separated her from the Jessie Logan, The buoy was rounded by the Jessie Logan about twelve o'clock, and when the Toy was abreast of it, the Jessie was rather a quarter of mile dead to wind ward of her. This distance, ot course, would be considerably more if taken when the boats were on a lead The Jessie Logan stood well over to the shore, and then made a board acrois under the North Head. She kept the wind well, and also had the advan tage of being out of the tide. The Toy made a short board in the direction of Ran gitoto, and then another similar to that made by the Jessie Logan. Meantime the latter boat was well over in the direction of the lighthouse, and a minute of two later she was round, and was standing up the harbour. When the Toy went round on the same tack the Jessie Logan had a lead of about a mile. There was a splendid breeze off the shore all the way up, and there was no necessity for tacking, it being easy enough to " fetch " the winning post. The positions remained unchanged all the way up, and the Jessie Logan eventually won with about live minutes to spare. The boats finished as follows :—

Jessie Logan—lhr. 17min. 45secs. ... 1 Toy lhr. 22min. 41secs. .. 2

The Toy was sailed by Moore, and the Jessie Logan by Jack Bell.

SMALL SAILING BOATS.

The race for sailing boats under sixteen feet, postponed from Begatta day, took piace this afternoon. The [course was from the Wharf round Sanpspit buey, and buoy off Stokes' Point twice round. The competition were the Imp (Perrot), Coy (Matthews), Olga (Swailes), and Zip (Holmes.) The boats went down to theSandspit all together, and rounded within a few seconds of each other, the Coy being Ist; Imp, 2nd ; Olga, 3rd ; and Zip 4th. After rounding the buoy the Zip carried away her lug-sail yard, and ran into the North Shore. After a delay of about nine or ten minutes, she resumed the race, but it was apparent Ithat she was out of it. At a late hour the Zip was lead ing, Olga, second; Coy, third; and Imp fourth- - , , i j.l. n The race finished at four o clock, the Loy being the winner.

THE MYSTERY OF LORD BRACKENBURY:

CHAPTER XLI,

The sailor [crossed the piazza, and took a chair under the awuiilg in front of a cafe, where a number of men of the better class were breakfasting 'al fresco.' Hero he called for a cup of chocolate, and sat Watch ing till La Giulictta should eOmo from bet uncle's workshop. He had not long to wait. Bctore his chocolate w.-.sbrot.ght,|h<. saw her on the threshold. Sho lingered a moment, as if listening to sonic one within ; cast a hurried glance round tho piazza ; and then sped swiftly away, past the guard-house and down the Via Piazza Bra. Sho did not see him, and he did not movo. He only fol lowed her with his eyes, as long aH she was insight. " Chocolate, Signote ?" said a sleek waiter,: depositing his tiny tray upon tho little table on which the sailor's elbow was resting. The mini's maimer was a trille off-hand, as if he thought this pilot-coated seaman out of place among his gentlemen customers.

" How much ." askod the sailor, his baud already in his pocket.

" Ono lira." Pilot-coat threw down a two-lire piece. " You may bring mo a cigarette, and keep the change." The sleek waiter became suddenly re spectful. His gentlemen customers who habitually dawdled away their mornings at tha cafe" were not wont to fee him in this way. They would send him to and fro, grumble at the quality of the absmtho, read all tho journals in succession, keep possession of their tables the whole morning long, aud not give him more than ten eontesitni for himself when all was done.

Tho sailor, however, observed neither his incivility nor his civility. Slowly smoking his cigarette, he sat look ing dreamily beforo ltim, seeing and hearing nothing. Meanwhile tho Eng lishman and his daughters camo out from the Amphitheatre, entered their carriage, and drove away ; old Citti hobbled along aa far as the filth archway, to claim his key ; Stetano Beui emerged from tho depths of his workshop, and held a conversation with Luigi the blacksmith over Padre Anseltno's wheel ; a mountcback in a gaily painted cart took up his station in the piazza, and discoursed of quack medicins to an im promptu audience; people and vehicles passed and repassed, and the life of the place grew noisier and busier as tho day waxed hotter. But of all this the smoker, absorbed in his own thoughts, was as uncon scious as if Verona aud its Amphitheatre were a hundred miles away.

By and by, having come to the end of his cigarette, he roused himself, and got up with a bright, assured look, as if ho had made up his mind upon sonic difficult quc« tion. Aud then, without looking to right or left, he walked straight across to the tilth archway.

"Good morning, Signor 3eni. May I speak to you for live minutes ." La Giuiietta's uncle, having passed on tho priest's wheel to his neighbour, had gone back to the shaping of his apokes. Seeing this stranger at the door, ho put down his tools and wiped his hands on his apron. "Surely," he said; aud pointed to a three-legged stool which was tho only seat he had to oiler.

But the sailor preferred to stand. " Not till I have told you my business." The wheelwright looked at him with curiosity.

"It is not often," he said, "that a man of your calling does business with a mau of my calling." " It is not with your calling that I am concerned, Signor fieni," replied the sailor; " but with your neice." " My niece ! What have you to do with my niece." " I wish to make her my wife." A sullen flush mounted slowly over Stefano Beni's sallow face.

" Who are you ?" he asked, abruptly. " I come from Bari. My name is Cesare Donate lam a merchant seaman, and I sail my own vessel. I have worked hard, and beeu fortunate. I waut no dowry with the woman I marry." " Since when have you known; my niece!"

"Since this morning." " This morning I What do you mean by ' this morning ' ?" " I mean that I saw her by chance just now, in the market-place, and that I fol lowed her into tho Arena." "Never till this morning? Never before?" " Never." The wheelwright laughed contemp. tuously. "Go '!" he said. You are mad.' " Do 1 look like a madman ?" '' You talk like one; that is worse." The sailor smiled gravely. '•Here is my passport," he said, pulling out a well-worn pocket-book, and producing a much stamped and counter-signea document. " I havo not my ship's papers with me j but I will fetch them from Venice." " Your passport and your ship's papers aro nothing to me," said the wheelwright, roughly. " 1 tell you, the thing is im possible." '•Why impossible?" " For a thousand reasons." " Name live. "One is enough. Because you are a stranger, and I know nothing about you." " That is an objection that cures itself daily. lam less a stranger to you now than I. was ten minutes ago; and when we have known each other for a month, it will be as if we had been acquainted all our lives." " But if I don't choose to know you at all —what then 1"

" Then one or other of us will have to put up with an annoyance. Either I most be disappointed of the pleasure of your friendship ; or you must tolerate mine. But, good Signor Beni, why need we waste words? I am an honest man, and a prosperous. I love your neice, and I will settle twentyfive thousand lire upon her and her children the day of onr marriage Can I say fairer ?" Stefano Beni bit his lip. He was be wildered ; angry; impatient. He knew not what to say. The man looked honest and spoke frankly. To test the truth of his statements would not be difficult, Supposing all was as he represented it to be —would he, Stefano, be justified in maintaining an attitude of opposition ? He loved his neice dearly—as daarly as if she were his own daughter ; but his love *was not without a touch of selfishness. He had never said to himself that he wished his little Giulietta to live unwedded for his sake ; but the future held few possibilities more unwelcome than that of her marriage. And yet ... a man so well-to-do as this stranger ! A man willing and able to place her in a position beyond the reach of worldly dangers ! Twenty-five thousand lire J To a man in Stefano Bcni's rank of life, twenty-live thousand lire (a thousand pound English) is a handsome fortune. "How can I tell that you will do all this ?" he said, sullenly; " how can I tell that what you say is true ?" "Give me till the day after to-morrow, and I will satisfy you on every point. If you like to come with me to Venice you shall see my ship. As for the money, I will lodge it here, in Verona, in the hands of any banker you please to name." " And what then ? My girl is not to be bought and sold like a bale of merchant dise l" . , " God forbid 1 No, Signor Beni—l know that. Let me convince you ; and then let me take my chance with the donzella. That is all I ask." But Cesare Donato's ''all" was more by far than Stefano Beni was willing to con cede. That "all" was neither more nor leas than the small cud of an iron wedge in an iron hand.
