(BY TBLUCIRAPH—OWN COBESSrONDERT). THAMES, this day. DAKT.—As soon as tbo dam in cross-cut at No. 2 level is completed, tenders will be called to sink the main shaft 80 feet. I his can easily be clone with the present machi nery. A cross-cut Will then be driven west to cut Nos. 1 and 2 reef*. The former should ho close to the chamher, and the latter about 150 feet away. No. 2 reef is where the best gold should be got m, as the be<st gold yet won from it wa* obtamd from the drive on it at the present bottom level. Heie it w»s payable for fully 260 feet in length. No. 1 rref was diiven on to a considerable extent, though the whole was not remunerative. Pinafore,- The new manager, Mr Sul livari, is now rising on the reet from the level right under the quarry. He naj about twenty-five ket to rise, and should meet with good dirt. He is also s'nking a winze on a specimen leader discovered on the hanging-wall of the large foot-wall reef. Gold has been found in tais a leDgth of 30 feer, and the prospects In the wiuze were ao good that driving will be started east ward, in which direction the backs .will Increase rapidly. Tiiis leader will drag into the niaiu reef before reachiug the Gladstone level, and may cause an im provement in the large body. Alter the holidays the manager intends driving oa the main reef at the Gladstone level.

Industrial and Provident Perma nent Building Society.

The second annual meeting of this society was held at their office, corner of Queen street and Vulcan Lane, last evening. Mr Peacock, president occupied the chair, there being also present twenty shareholders, including two ladies. X EPOET.—A f tcr the minutes of a previous nnnual meeting had been read and con firmed, the report furnished by the Board of Management was placed before the meeting in circular form, as follows :— "The business of the first year has been of a sound and steady character, and the demand tor advances has enabled the Board to place out on mortgage the whole of the society's tund?, and also to invest, on good securities, otber sums borrowed from depositors and others on favourable term?. Out of the profit for the year, the Board have been able to credit investing shareholders with interest afier the rate of eight per cent, per annum oh their investments, and they now recom mend tfiat a bonus at the rate of three per cent, per annum be credited both to investors' and borrowers' accounts. The amendments of the rules which were made in August last have given much sati- facion, and have already pioved of great benefit. And, as an evidence that the in creased facilities given to borrowers are appreciated by the public, it may be (stated that applications for advances from the Society's funds are steadily increas-icg. The Board desire the co-operation of the shareholders in inducing thir friends to join the Society, either aa investing or * borrowing members. — Management for next year : dominations have been made as follows, viz : —Thomas Peacock, Esq., M.8.X., to be President; A. G. Horton, ifsq., to be Vice-Presifie^.t; Thomas Mackay, Usq., ts bo Treasurer; and the following gentlemen Uircctors—Messrs G. Aickin, B. Bartley, H. Brett J. Dacre, J. J. Holland, J. Marshall. G.

The statement was audited, and found correct, by Messrs Jno. Milne and K. Davis Clark.—tn the motion of Mr G. P. Pierce, seconded by Mr G. Aickin, tb< statement was adopted as read. The Chairman then moved the adoptior. of the report. He said the fact that a dividend of S per cent, and a 3 per cent bonus had been recommended, must bs satisfactory to all members, and it mual also be satisfactory to know that tae whole of the funds bad been carefully and profit ably invested. The amount lent on mort gage was three times that of the previous year, A much larger business might have been done, however, had the funds per mitted ; bu*. the managers recognised the fact that a permanent and prudent increase of business must chiefly depend on the increase of the nnmber of iuvesting shares, The fact that such a large dividend and bonus had been paid created surprise that there was not an increase in inves tingshares It could not be said the number of societies of the kind wa3 too large. Otago bad 14; Canterbury, 10; Wellington, 9 ; Aucfclaud, 6 ; and Taranaki, 5, while the revenue in Wellington and Canterbury was much larger iv proportion to the number of mem bers aud than in Utago and Auckland,Bhow ing that the iuvesting shares must ba considerably distributed. The txistence of a good Savings Bank here in addition to the Government Savings Bank might have something to do with it, but the interest received from that bank wa3 low compared with that received from the society. He believed the fact was, however, that the society was not sufficiently knowD, otherwise the directors would ' have done a much larger Dusines. It was worthy of notice that the fact of the three per cent bonus being paid on the money at the credit of the investing members, made the payments for the year something like six per cent. Ho hoped at the next meet ing an equal, if not much larger, dividend would be declared. ' Mr G. Aickin seconded the motion foi adoption, which was put before the meeting and carried unanimously. Auditors.—un Ihe motion of Mr G. Aickin, secocded >y Mr Bartley, the auditors were re-elected. Offickbs.— Boih auditors and the Board of .Management, as nominated above, were unanimously elected, Votes of tbanks were parsed to tho pre siding chairman, the Board of Manage roeut, the manager (Mr Fraser), and officers of the fo;iety_, which concluded the business of the meeting.

TURFIANA.

(BY CHEYAL.) j Last week I made reference to several of J the horses which I consider have the good . chasces of landing the hig stake at th« forthcoming meetiog, and in accordance with a promise then made I will continue now my remarks on the moßt prominent of the Cap horse?. Before doing so, how ever 1 wish to make amends for the state ment tlut "it was just a question whether Turquoise would come north.' fma ques tion ha 3 since been answered by tbe arrival of the horse, and all I can say in extenu ation is tbat 1 was shown a telegram from Canterbury hinting that Mr ValUnce's sprin ter would not come. Althoughic is an ad; mitted fact that our coarse for the Cup distance is just a leette trying tor tbree vear-ulds—and 1 adhere to my previously expressed opinion that a youngiter will not. tuccted iti carrying off tne "Blue Ribbon "— i'orquoise's performances entitle him to more than a cavalier dismissal from consideration. Already this s.-aeon he has started on thiiteen occatione, win ning nine, and putting close on £1,000 in added money into the pockets of his owners. Of course on his Ashburton Cup form he is held safe by Welcome Juek, but then races ate nut like rule of three sums. ihe last uarued ho:se still leads the betting at 5 to 2, and is much fancied by several southern sporting writers, who pronounce him tbe pick of the handicap. I don't think he is enttled to his place in the betriog market, oiid should he succeed in running into a place, in tho company he will meet, he will do more than I expect him to accom plish. lam still sweet on Soukar's chance, aud if the course is heavy, I predict George howland will have occasion to throw up his tile. Fiizhercules, whose market price is a shade ies3 than 10 to 1, pleases rue best after Soukar, Tim Whiffier, and Kalo, notwithstanding the steadier of Sst 41bs. He is reported to be doing well and receivrs stiong support from the party. Merlin, who in doing strong work, the Piet (7st 71b), Voitex, (with the Tght impost of 0 it lOlbs), Minerva, and Kewi are not bad goods fcr tbe iff chance, and Kingask, (6st Hlbs), though only a three-year-old, would be in it up to his neck but for tbat last quarter of a mile. The other horses still iv just make up the list, but have not got the ghost of the thow. Without resigning my right to a future revision, and hoping for the success of my prognostication that Jupiter Pluvious will not be round with hia wateriDg-pot on Christmas Day, 1 will

place the hoi sea - Soukar 1 Tim Whiffles ..-. ... 2 Kalo or Turquoise 3 and if we are to have a complete boil over commend rae to Hewi, The l*oet,or Vortex. Mount is thought to have a big say in the Ha'die race on Boxing Day. In trebles on the Auckland, Welliogton, and Dunedin Cups, taking at Christchurcb, the price beiug 100 to 1, Welcome Jack and Buodoorafor the two first named eveots hare been tbe most frequent picks. '1 he leading lines for tbe ttnnedin Cup are :—Sir Modred, Vanguard, and Somnus, I lOOto 12 ; Lady Emma, 100 to 10 ; Cheviot, 100 to 9 ; Natator and King Quail, 100 to 8 ; Welcome Lad, 100 to 7; Ta-man, Emir B^y.and Lorue, 100 to 6. I a Southern writer says that the Welling. I ton Cup is the worst of the three bghandi : cafs, and that Bundoora, louie, St. George, j and Matanaka are the only horses hairing the least show. Lome, fit and well, as 1 ! wrote last week, s-hould "scoop ihe pool." Ie is questionable if we have cer hai buch a d stiaguished galaxy of spmtsmen at one time in Auckland as at present. Of i horse owners and metalliciins, there are 5 Vsllance, Pilbiow,Butler, Westoo, Belcher, . and Harris, and I h«artbatwe will nstnaed I to tno.irn the absence o! the volatile i-'nyder Then there aie the jockeys—Wally Clif ford, "The New Zealand Aicher," George or "Australian" Williams (who has rauked h'gh in my estimation since he djd the trick on old Lone Hand at Takapuna li t : autumn). Lyf rd, Willie Butler (who will probably lnve the mount on Welcome '• Ji-ck), i.unn, and several lesser lights. i Assyrian bas been sold to an Australian gontlemarj, named Agnew. j kelson J.C. fjive away £450. at their j Autumn meeting. i Mata is the top weight for Inangahna , Cup, with the " crasher " ef 12at 121b.-. | 'Ihe ■' Weekly Pres3 " says Lonie, Hippc ! damia and Fitzherculcs have little reason ' to be dissatisfied with their imposts for the j Dunedin Cup (7st 91bs eacb). j "Memo," writing in the "Town and J Countiy Journal "re Tim Whiffler's victory at our recent spring meeting, says—" This tiorse is half-brother to the well-known mire Jessie, beini? by Sydney Tim Whiffler f oni Vaiachuto. He was bred by Mr W. ; Dargin, the weil-known owner of ' Jfarachuto, who in a conversation with me I some time back averred that we should soon hear of his being returned a winner. I jam very glad to record that such is the case, and hope he may place many more I winning brackets to his name. I should have rather liked him under some other name, for we have had two Tim Whifflers on the colonial turf already."

CATHOLIC BAZAAR AMD FANCY FAIR

, xns fancy fair and bazaar at St. Mary's ; Hall, Cnchunga, which was opened by the ! J Kight Re*. Dr Lack, 0.5.8., accompanied 1 1 by several c'ergymen of the rsorrun Catho " I lie Church, has received a goodly amotnt o! ,' patronage. The object of the bazaar is " to as>ht in the payment of the expenses oi > the new school, a commodious and well ventilated building. The Her.

No, 1 still was xiuoer the 1 care of Misses O'Keefe, McMahon, Coffee, and Swan, In this stall were two hand ' some gipsy tables, one in octagon form, • and the other shamrock form, severed • with elegantly worked flowered cloth, E each bearing a silver figure covered with a glass shade, presents from His Lordship i Bishop Luck, brought by him from Home. x One represents St. Joseph and the other ;. the Virgin Mary. Tee Übles aro worked c on black cloth In pink and white heath t designs. Among other articles of value, : especially noticeable, was a handsome ■ chair, the back and seat worked with - beautifully flowered patterns in Bilk. A s great many of the articles were made by a the Sisters of Mercy of Onehunga Convent - and tbe more advanced pupils of their i school. The cushiions of satin and rose -3 work acd woolwork, as well a? the other 3 etceteras which comprise a bazaar stall, . were filled in wi'h handsome articles, use -1 ful and decorative, and the wires contained t antimacassars, screens, and other knitted crochet and fancy work. A noteworthy 3 copy of a picture of the period of Elizabeth ; attracted much attention from lovers of , arr, in which were historic likenesses ot the i Duke of Somerser, Earl L-i Essex, and Mr 1 Waiter Kaleigh, in the famous scene in - which the latter spreads his cloak to enable - Queen .Elizabeth to ctoss a, small puddle, 3 according to Sir Walter Scott's description in E "KeLilvforth." .* 0.2 stall is presided over by ) Mrs Honati, Miss Leahy, and Miss Ralph. 2 jn'o. 3 stall by Mrs Clark, Misses London t (2), Miss Farrell, and Miss Kavanagh. No. . 4 stall by Mis Mnlkere, Mrs Donovan, aad ) Miss Holland. The variety and excellence ; of the exhibits were generally admired and , reflected great credit on the numerous j workers. Observable were an oil painting ! of St. Catherine, the work of a Sister of 3 Mercy in St. Mary's Convent, Ponsonby, t a wont of much merit There were hand -3 fome cushions, prettily designed, with t*e 3 rose, sbamrook, snd thistle, executed with - beads; these weie designed by Miss Tie- ney, lof Waiuku. A model ship, faithfully wrought, was presented by Mr Hand ; in r short, oil the articles were ot exquisite ; d< sign and finish.
