TURFIANA.

[BY CHEVAL,]

The handicapper for tho Hawke'a Bay Jockey Club cannot bo congratulated on the result of his labours so far as tho dis tribution of weights for the Spring Handi cap is concerned, and the date of the second payment will see a large amount of weed ing. After making allowance from the horses that are almost certain not to ac cept, I ccc nothing in it but Maori, Amazon, Virginia Water, and Merlin. The Handicap Hurdle race should be a gift to Te Whetu, provided he goes to the post in his last season's fettle.

The annual meeting of the Auckland Racing Club has already been fully reported, and as " vain repetitions " are not in my lino, I will dismiss the matter with a few words ot congratulation to the club and its worthy secretary. Considering the bad weather at the autumn meet ing, and other drawbacks, the profit for the year's operations — £SGO —is highly satisfactory. I regret that nothing was said about tlic steeplechase coarne, but I trust that the committee will not lose tight of the matter between this and Christmas, I may add that the date of the Spdog Meeting has not been fixed, but it i-i probable that it will be on or about the Prince of Wales's Birthday.

Three of Mr Waltera's horses, Hippocam pus, Hippom _, and Larry left by the Maegregor, for Wanganui, on Tuesday last. Another item of news from the Papa knra stcble, the truth of which I will not, however, vouch, is that the enterprising proprietor intends to divide his horses into ih cc strin.s, for the purposes_ of the forthcoming racing reason—oue going to do biltle for the North ou the plains of Can ttrbury, another tv Wanganui to pick up ,ome o£ the good things in that bucolic neighbourhood, while tfce third division will remain here under Mr Walters'a per sonal supervision. May he have good luck, is the wish of every true sporlsmao. An exceedingly reliable (?) and clever Auckland correspondent contributes the following items to the Otago "Witness": "The Yattendon-Peeress colt will never f.tand training, both the suspensory liga ment and back sinew of his near foreleg being goue. Piacatoiioua might stand work with a c ireful preparation, as he has lined down and ia pretty clean. Billingt gate has a naity knee, and has been sever«ly bli-tered, I am afraid bis day is past ; but Libeller i» sound enongh. Ido not fancy any of Mr Walters'a two-year-olds, none of them being bigger than rals." The same authority continues to lucubrate as follows :-I do not like Masket'a young stock—with one or two exceptions, they want size and substance. Martini-Henry, which the Hon. J. While gave 1250 guineas for, will, I think, never make a racehorse ; he Is pigeon-toed—still they run in all shapes, htirlingworth, the new imported ttalliou, is a great lumhering horse that i may get good hacks and harness-hon-ci.

The Wanganni Jockey Club have dis covered that though it is very pleasant to play "My Lord Bountifuls" with £1000 cups and other unconsidered trifles, there is a day of reckoning, as the following extract from the annual report of the club will show :—" The members will see on looking ever the accounts that a loss of £150 ISs 7d his been made during the past year. The subscriptions have been reduced from £444 15s in 18S1 to £310 in ISS2 ; the receipts for the sale of privileges have slightly in creased. The club have paid away in stakes £2772, as against £2774 last year, The debit halance at the bank is now £700 13s 41. If this is to be paid off during the current year, jonr committee can see no other way except by reducing the value of the stakes. Since the formation of the club iv its present form they have spent on permanent improvements £3437 15s Id, and have paid away iv stakes and charges daring the fame period £15.945 15s 7d, making a total expenditure of £19,433 10s lOd, leaving only the present debt, includ ing liabilities of futuro Derbys, £S9G 18s 4d." BRET-TIES. The annual report of the Waverley-Waito ■ tara Racing Club shows a profit of £113 for the past season. The Spring races will be held on November 9th, and the Autumn races on March 19ih. Sutton, an English bookmaker, is said to have monopolised all the netting in South Australia. Pride of the Hills, winner of the V.R.C. Mares Produce Stakes, in 1876, and the Champion race ot the following year, is dead. Tbe "Weekly Press" regrets to an nounce that the popular sportsman who races under the name of Mr Horstord, hu3 decided on retiring, at least for a season, from the tnrf, and has thereupon leased, for the above term, all his horses in training, which, of course, include those two beauti ful fillies, Siesta and _Tonse_se. The following is the progiamme for the Waverley-VTaitotara Spring meeting :— Waverley and Waitotara Guineas, of 105. soys., one and a half miles :—Hurdle Race, two and a quarter miles, of 60 soys. ; Hack Hurdle tsace, of 10 soys.; Flying Handicap, 6 furlongs, 50 soys ; Maiden Plate, one and a half miles, 40 soys..; Waverley-Wuiototara Handicap, distance two miles, 150 soys. ; Forced Handicap, oi 25 soys, once round. Grand Duchess leaves the course for the stud. She will shortly visit Musket. The Stud Company's entires have been removed from Kohimarama to Sylvia Park. The Victorian bookmakers have formed an association for mutual protection, Lord Gifiord, V.C, is one of the stewards of the West Australian Turf Club, and Sir W. F. C. Robinson (brother of Sir Her cnles) is the patron. V.R.C, statistics : Number of members, 821 ; annual subscriptions, £~06- ; profits of last Cup meeting, £8,646. The Champion Meeting of 1882 showed a loss of £40S; The Autumn Meeting of 1882 showed a loss of £2,155. The Winter Steeplechase Meetiog of 1881 showed a loss of £271. The net profit on the whole season, irrespective of ordinary receipts and charges, was £3,612, but since the date of the balance £2,100 has been received In bookmakers' fees. £4,493 was, spent last. year in improving the comae,

Correspondence.

MR SEYMOUR GEORGE AND HIS CONSTITUENTS.

(To the Editor,)

SIR, —The attention of the employds at Messrs R. Nicholson and Son's saw mill having just been called to a speech by the member for Rodney from bis place in the House, as reported on page 506 in Hansard, Juno 15th, 18S2, the men took the first opportunity of convening a meeting in reterence to the subject. The meeting was held on the 4th inst. at the Topuni Mill at 7 p.m. Mr John Western was elected to the chair, and in opening the meeting be stated that the object of tt was to decide on the best means to be ta_eu in obtaining an explanation of Mr George _ speech, which he considered was simply their due. The extract from " Hansard " was then read, and is as fol lows :—" But I say it is a disgrace to a master who employs men, if ho uses un due influence by threats of discharge from 1 his employment if they do not vote in a certain direction, In the last election for my district, I know, for a certainty, that such threats were used. A requisition was taken round in favour of a gentleman who was opposed to me, by the owner of a saw-mill, who went to all his workmen, his mill-hands, and his bush-hands, and asked them to sign this requisition. In certain cases I believe he has held out threats that it they did not sign it they would lose their employment. I say that man, in taking round this requi sition, was using undue influence on his men, for they Aid not like to say they , would not sign the requisition, thinking that if they said so their term of employ ment under him would be short. Some of them, to my sure knowledge, signed the requisition much against their will, and, indeed, some of them told me that although they had signed it they voted for mo. In some cases conscientious men came afterwards to me and told me that they were led into signing the requisition through fear of losiug their employment, and that hao. it not been for that they would have voted for me instead of for the other man." Mr French nad noticed the extract just read, and as an elector and employer at Messrs R. Nichol son and Son's, moved the following resolu tion .—"That we, electors, and mill hands in the employ ot R. Nicholson and Sons, deny the statement made by the member for Rodney, that tear of dismissal influenced us in the last election for the county. It was also fully known that the paper signed by electors was simply a requisition to a candidate, and not a promise t_ vote." Seconded by Mr Thomas Grice, and carried unanimously. A discussion ensued as to whether, if requested, Mr George would (disclose the name of hia informant, as It

was considered that the men had a right to the information to clear themselves It was denied that Mr Nicholson had "ever asked any of his mill-hands to sign the re' quisitioo, but simply told them that it waa laying at bis office, and those who signed it did so voluntarily. Proposed by Mr Grice, Eecoar'ed by Mr Jones, " T D _4 Messrs Freuch, Small, and Pook be an. pointed a co-nmittee to communicate with Mr George." Pesolvcd that a report of this meeting be sent to the " Herald " " Weekly News," Star, and a copy to Mr George. A vote of thanks to the chairman brought the meeting to a close. I am, &c, George Small, Secretary to Committee. Topuni Sawmill, Port Albert, August sth, ISS2.

[COPY.] TOPtTM SAWMILLS, POET ALBEET To Mr S. J. GkoegK: Sir,—l am requested by the committee appointed on the 4th inst. by the employe, at the above mills, to forward you a report of proceedings at a meeting held here hay. ing reference to an extract from your speech on the Prevention of Purchase of Votts Bill, in "Hansard," page 508, June 15 ISB2. In further explanation of the formal minutes of the meeting, I m_ T inform you that tho meo, one and alb coosider that you have done tbem a very great injustice by the unfounded charge made by you, that they were intimidated into signing the requisition to Mr Shepherd, Such was by no means the case, and we challenge you to prove that Mr -Tioholsou ever even asked one of his mill hands to sign. I am, therefore, desired to ask you to be good enough either to withdraw the charge with as much publicity as yen mada it, or to disclose to us the name of your in. formant. A copy of this letter, with report of the meeting, has been forwarded this day to the "Herald," "Weekly News," and "Star."—lam, &c, ' George small, Secretary to Committee. August 5, 1882.

MR. BROWN ON SPIRITUALISM.

To the Editor.)

Sib.—Having heard Mr G. A. Brown's Lot lectura on Spiritualism, I came to the conol_oo that the rebellions angels were certainly not Quite so near neighbours ot ours (whan at horns) as your report would have us to believe. I for one, understood Mr Brown to say that Tartarus was an aerial region, outside and betwsen heaven and the atmosphere of our earth. And, If they aro tnere chained, or as it may mean confined to a Riven region, la It at all likely that God would permit them to perambulate the world at Urge for photo graphic and other money-making pur- Poe.3. or to disport themselves even in th» palace of oar Queen, who, as Mr Brown tftlrms, is a bellevar in thalr power and manifestations. Sir. -this is only equal to tbe reply Riven re Paul's desire to dap_rt r_dbe with Christ, which Mr Brown puts down to the face of Paul not having fifteen hundred a-year, and a fine cathedral to preach In. Nothing ad vanced by Mr Brown, or anyone else, wid alter tba fact that the more we are (guided by the light we have, and tba less we pry into mattsrs which leave tha most powerful intellects in doubt, the happier will we be.—l am, &0., 80KPTIO.

Qacen-slreet, The objects for which tho Company Is estab lished aro :— 1. To carry on the business of Fire and Marine Insurance in all or such ot its branches aa the Company shall from time to time determine. 2. To purchase or otherwise acquire and take over all or any part ot tho business property or liabilities of any other Com pany carrying on _ ire and Marino In surance business. 3. To purchas-*. lease, or otherwise acqnlro cny real or personal property whlch.may bo convenient or necessary for the pur pose Of the Company. i. To sell, demise, mortgago. Improve manage, or otherwise deal with any pro 's pert 7of the Company. 5, To invest the monies of tho Company In snch securities as may from time to time be deemed expedient and without limiting the generality of this clause. To take or otherwise acquire and hold shares or Stock In any Company, or in any partnorahio arrangement transac tion whloh may bo deemed directly or Indirectly advantageous to the Com pany. 5, If deemed a_s_able, to borrow money either with or wiihont seonritry on all or any of the property of the Company, or by issuing debentures charged on ad or any of the Company's property (both - present and future), inclsding its un called capital. 7, To do all such othor thingi as are „.olden tsl or conducive to tho advancement of the abovo objects. This Company h33 nnwb'cen fully established, and without any appeal to the public over Ten Tfcousand Shares have ben already applied for. In many instances thaappllcitlons were re peated and thonuuiber of shares doubled. Tha Company has be?n established on prin ciples different to those of tho other Insurance companies new existing in the colony. Of thase principles the chiat ia that kr.owc as the Mutual principle, by which the profits of ths Company, after paying interest at the rate of 3 per cent, to the shareholders upon their paid np capital, and after fuch deductions for tha formation and replenishment of tho reserve fund and other contlnze-cl??, are to be divided Into two equal parts, one part of which will be divided between tho Insurers in proport'on to tho premiums paid by them respectively to the company during the last prececing year, and the othor patt will be divided amongst the shareholders In proportion to the paid np cap ital on their shares respectively. By thsso means Shareholders derive the following benefits:— Ist. They receive 8 per cent, per annum mon their paid-up capital. 2nd. They receive aa a bonus or dividend one-half of the balance of profits distri buted in proportion to tbo amount of their p&ld-up capital, whl'e Trwurers receive as a bonus or dividend the Other half of balance of profits, distributed in proportion to the premiums paid by them dur ing the last prececing year. _! a person o:cnploa tha doable position o Shareholder and Insurer, th6n he partakes! of both sets of benefits. Another feature in connection with the under taking 13 that Shareholders only are liable lor losses. The advantages derivable from an under taking, based on amh principles, must as onca appear clear to every Intelligent mind; for the Shareholder and Insurer are stimulated alike to advance the interest of tue Company and pro vont losses—First, by directing business to the company. Second; by exercising caution in the selection Of risks which tbey bring; and. Third, by using extra precautions to prevent fires, by which thoir bonus or dividend would be absorbed. in this wsy both Share-holders and Insurers work togethor for one and the same object, each being stimulated to mako the bualnoss of the Company as large as possible, and so pro duce a large bonus or dividend, in which they each c .nally participate. This same result or object also acta as a preventive to the occur rence of fires and losses, In this way each eet of baneflcialres has a special and particular Interest In the welfare a_d prosperity of tho undertaking, and It Js this principle which forms the company", strongesi safeguard and protection) The larger the num ber of Shareholders ;nd Insurers, tho further tbis safeguard and protection is extended: for, as each feels the prosperity of the Company, so each feels its reverses, though both f_a felt In different degrees. As to the necessity for _aoh an undertaking. It la quite clear that It is called for. The busi ness of Fire and Marina Insurance has been, and still is increasing throughout tha colony, and especially is this so In the Auokland Pro vincial District, The vast returns which have been obtained by our local companies demonstrate beyond a doubt that a business ot very great ma ..Undo Is being transacted jear after year, snd that these enormous results are producad upon a very email amount of called-up capital. None of these extraordinary results, however, are produced by Companies formed upon the mutual principle, by which every additlcnal Insurer, by insnring. lessens the cost of in surance, and creates a powerful protection against that carelessness from which fires are chiefly due—a principle whloh Induces greater care and caution in all households and places of business. Bnildirg and population, too, are both on the increase, and there Is every pros pect Of this continuing. All the Fire and Marine Insurance Companies In New Zealand are based upon the ordinary prlnolples.by whloh profits are divided amongst Shareholders owLV.and suah regard for Insurers as is now proposed finds no place In their con sultation. It Is reasonably concluded, therefore, that a wide field lies open to tho Company now intro duced to the public and- a prospect of success certainly as great, it not greater, than tbat hitherto accomplished by similar in=tltution33a now presented for acceptance. Aa to tho Company's projects— The success which has followed the different Australian Mutual Llfo Associations muat;bo well known, and the Increasing numbers of such institutions an«nrs well that the principle of mutuality is tha boy to thi. vast znecsure of success. If success follows that principlo when applied tb risks of such an uncertain nature as life risks, it is impo3?ib!o to advanco any sound argument Bgainot tho like results beinKobtaineclin apply ing the lino principle to tho lesa hazardous undertaking of Fire and Marino Insurance. One Mutual Fire Society in Australia ha 3 been in esiatenco nine years up to May, 1881, and for tho last eight years it lias paid 20 percent, bonus dividend equally between Shercholdera and Insurers, be-ides 8 per cent interest to Share holders upon their paid-up capital, and in Hey 1882 (the end of its teeth year), it had in invested funds tho handsomo amount of £15,000. What is more remarkable still is that these results have all been produced from acalled-cp capital of only Six thousand two hundred and fifty pounds. Forma of application fer Shares can bo ob tained at the Company's offices, Canada Build ings, Auckland, or from any Branoh of the National Bank cf New Zealand, where tho samo will bo received up to tho 10th August next. lino allotment is mado, the deposit will ba returned without deducrion, and whon tho number of Shares allotted is less than tho nun-top applied for the surplus will bo credited in re duction of the amount payable on allot ment. Copies of tho Memorandum and Articles of Association of tho Company may be inspected at the ofllco of the Company's Solicitors. Agenoles will be established throughout the Colony as soon as practicable.

Tho Company was originally projected for tho frarposo of acquiring bloclis of good suburban and to be re-aokl in low suitable for residence sites, and recently, with tlio view of nddins to tho value of their lar.ils by affording greater facilities of access, the Provisional Directors have entered into arrimitements for providing a system of Tramways for the City and Suburbs. An agreement has been mado with tho City Councllby which the Company ha_ secured tbo o_cli_lvo right to construct and work such Tramways fur a period of twouty-ono years, and tho terms of tho conceasion leave no room to doubt that the undertaking will bo advanta geous to tho community and profitable to tho proprietors. Tho propertloi already purchased consist of several blocks of cholco land, comprising the St. Heller's Bay Estate of 620 acres, tho Rcmuera Land Company. Estate of 117 acres, and tho Northcote Estate of 1012 acres, amounting In all to 1719 acres: the whole being admirably adapted for villa sites.combining tho advantages of oxtensivo frontage to tho Waitemata liar boar, picturesque scenery and soil ot excellent quality, together withjjroximity to tho city. Tho sales already effected havo averaged £200 por aero in ltemuera. and £1.0 at St. Heller's, and land ndjaoent to the Northcote Estate has been recently sold at £100 per acre. Tho directors call special attention to tho great increaao of valuo which ha_s resulted from tho construction of tram ways in suburban districts in other places, amounting in some cases to ten times tho original cost; and as tho Company's lands were purchased before any provision of tho kind had been made, it is rca-onabto to anticlpato a similar favourable result in tho present instance. It is intended to proceed with tho construction of the linos already agreed upon as soon aa tho necessary materials can be obtained, tho Company having agreed to open tho traillo and havo cars run nln_ within _iqute_x montha from dato of concession,, The Diroctors havo secured tho services of a gentleman of largo experience in the practical working of tramways In tho British Islands, and can confidently recommend tho enterprise to their fellow colonist*, in the full conviction that It will prove a good investment.
