" Ne Jopiter qnldoni omnibus placet." TUB weights for the A.X.C. and Grand Stand Handicaps appeared in last night's issue. Randwick heads the list in the Joimcr with Bst lOlbs, and considering that lio cbaacd the whole of the Cup competit ors at a respectful distance for the first mile and three-quarters, it is pre! ty safe to say that he won't accept. King Quail comos next with Bat 71b3, which impost, and the extra Bpced which may bs expected, ought to put the little sticker out of it. Maori, Bst 21bs^ia badly treated ; he carried 7st 41ba in the Cup and could not get a place. Still as he led for the first mile and a half at a !aot pace, his chance is a fairly good one' Yatapa (7st 101b) ii, I hear, very crooked; but as it is only hearsay, he may have bison kept for this. If well, the weight is not too much for him. Othello (7st 91b) will find the distance too tar. Badsworth (7st 91b) has a big say in it. He ran no where in the Cup, but that is very lii.tle criterion, and he might turn up trumps on this occasion. Tim Whilller (7st 91b) was rushed up to the position of Erst favouirite as soon as ever the weights appealed, and two to two and half to one was the best could be got about him last night. Thae is nothing positive enough to justify this apparent belief that only Tim is in it; his win in tho Free Handicap, 1 mile, docs not prove that he will both go the pace and stay for a mile and three-quarters. Backers will be wise to wait a bit and see if they can't do something better. Kco.il worth, 7st Slbs reads very well, and in his present form, it will take a "regular hummer " to beat him, especially as he has shewn a liking to these middle distances. Peeress colt, unless he comes up wonder fully, cannot bo considered to have a show, though the handicapper* have troated him quite as lightly as his reputation would justify in only putting 7st 71bs on his buck. I doubt, however, if he will accept. Hilda, 7st Slbs is in my opinion the pick of the hunch, as she has always had the reputa tion of being a speedy mare, and in the Cup on Monday she proved conclu sively that she coold stay. Lara (7st :51b) would have been a great fancy had he been well, bnt unfortunately he broke down after tho Cup, and will not ho a likely acceptor. Lone Hand and Faramcna (7st each) are nicely weighted, and should the old grey accept he will have a good many admirers by the time ho weighs out. Mutau (7at) Is over-estimated, and as bin previous performances did not warrant his list 61b in the hurdles, so his form in that race siitisiiesme tbathe has 71bs too much in this. Vampire (6st 121b) I haven't heard oi for some time and so can't lay much about his chance, but if he was up to the mark he 'ought under that weight to be about at the finish. "Vortex I know nothing of, but irom hearsay he has not much chance. Poet (Get 91bs) is nicely weighted and if they can wake him up in time he might upset the certainty. Rewi (Cat 91bs) if fit would be a most dangerous opponent to the best of them, but he is very big, and his popular owner will have to wait for another opportunity. Squire is alii to pieces, and I believe has been tamed out. Moonstone, after his performance in the T.J.C. Cup, I can't swallow at any price. Tenambra, Director, and Ketriever (sst 121b each) might as well stay at homo. I take front tho whole the following to fur nish the winner:—Maori, Tim whilller, Keoiiworth, Hilda, and Poot, and ishall endeavour to make a final selection later in the week. The handicap on the whole is a most creditable production, and though I have pointed ont what I consider errors, they are few and slight. In the Grand Stand Handicap, Billings gate, 9st 51b, appears to be held perfectly safe by Maid of Honor, Bst 81b, who meets him on 61hs better terms then in the RailWay Plate, when she beat him easily, and the extra distance is more favourable to the mare than to Billingsgate. With Maori and Hilda, these are the best in it to my fancy, and shoulrl famish tho winner. With the .of the two top weights there seems to be no mis takes, snd the horses all brought well to gether. Acceptances close to-night at the office of the club. Mr Percival will bo in attendance to receive them up i'o 8 o'clock p.m. The betting market was rather lively yesterday evening after the weights ap peared, and considerable sums were booked both in straight outs and doubles. Mataa was backed in both ways [to win about £1,000, while Tim Whiffler found a few friends. Hilda was also backed for the Handicap, and Maori was backed to win about £ .00. ,; Last) night was Settling night over the Auckland Cop and Takapuna Meeting but the public did not seem to be aware of the fact and failed to tnm up to time. The prizes won at the meeting of the Takapuna Jockey Club, held on the 27th inst., will be paid over to tho successful competitors on Saturday evening next-t the Flagstaff Hotel between 8 and 10 o'clock. On our first page to-day will be found the programme for tho Cambridge Jockey Club Summer Meeting, to be held on the 11th and 12th January next. The events of the first day comprise:—The Cambridge Cup, of £100; a Maiden Plate, of £30; and a Hurdle Race of £40; while on the list for the second day are :— Publicans' Punio Handicap, of £75; Steeplechßse, of £50; and several other events of £20 and £215. Altogether £415 of added money will be given. Entries will be received by Mt W. Scott, Cambridge, or Mr W. Percival, Auckland, not later than Saturday next.

THAMES, this day. A man named Maurice ueffernau was charged at the Police Court to-day with committing an indecent assault upon a little girl named Prudence Morrison, 10 years, at Te Aroba on Monday last. From the evi> dence it appears that prisoner entered a house on the evening in question when the child was alone with a cousin about the same age, and pretended to beinaearch of her father. After a abort time the cousin (Prin dencc Holden) went outside, and llcfforn.au attempted to criminally assault the child, but the companion returning pulled her away and her parents soon returned. The prisoner denied all knowledge of the affair, and accused the prosecutors of conspiracy against him. He was duly committed to stand his trial at the Supreme Court. At an inquest on the body of John For gusson Grant, found dead in bed yesterday morning, n verdict was returned of death from heart disease.

NORMANBY, this day, DESTITUTION AMONG THE NATIVES.

All along the coast the natives complain of want of food. At Tioro, four miles north of Opunske, during the late rough weather,the natives were living on cabbage tree and wild pork. The last two days they got tuh. These people have no canoes. They make a moki, or raft, of

flax and sticks, aud move out a short distance from shore to fish. Another plan is to got on a whare log which lies on the beach and go out on that. Every canoe for miles along the coast was out yes terday. At many places fulling has becomo an absolute necessity, and stormy weather means hunger. Meanwhile the destruction of crops goes on at Parihaka. Your_ cor respondent ie informed from a reliable source that the Government does not intend to allow the natives to starve, but work will probably be given them, such as was found for the unemployed.
