Training Notes.

(by chevAl.)

Tub rosy Cng'or of dawn had scarcely j ( touched the eastern horizon this morning '; ero the horses, wish their trainers, began . to appear on the race track at jUllerslie. It was whispered last night that some of the Southern three-year-olds were to do fast work, and, as a natural consequence, the attendance of that section of the public who arc continually after "good things " was somewhat numerous. The rairj of yes terday, together with a very heavy dew that fell last night, rendered the "plough" work able, though the toil was scarcely heavy cnoueh to suit those trainers whose horses are a trifle backward Bill Proffitt with h;s Btring, Virginia Wa'er, Kubina, Kingiißk, and Mavis, was the first to put in an appearance. He set the hors°s to slow work, Kin^ask especially was in splendid condition, Movis seemed a Uille still. Mount was put at the hurdles once ■ or twic, and he took them as though he ' eujojed the fun. He sub equently went J round the course at three quarters spjed j with Ngata, the latter not going very satis factorily. The grand old Agent was sent; round the plough lour or five times, with; fore-legs batidjged. Rowlands hid Tim j Whiille.r early out, bßt the much fancied horse oily did ' walking exercise. Poet and Minerva di<l slo* wmk, r-nd ' gave satifaction ti their party. Parnmena and Libeller galloped one mile andth'ee ; quarters in company, the latter apparently having the be*t oil it, catching hi- stable j companion iv the stiaitht. Virginia ] Water »ud Kin,.,ask t;ext arraqt:d atti;h t;ou. They went the Cup distune*: at ihree quarters speed, bein<,' joined during the last | six furlongs by Rubina. The last roun 1 j (haM 'he Cup distance) was covered iv 2inins. lOsecs. Poet and Minerva then had a spin together, getting I round the course, once iv 2mins. 12secs. Major Giorge's.welt bred TcLain- J bra d d some sl'iw work, and while ou the track was the cynosuri of all eye*. Sv>ukar was sent rouud once. He mnved very freely, aiuUppearel to be in go d heart, Nclaou riid some slow work, butdi'l not im press me favorably. He is not, to my tliiukiDg, in his Spring form. Lone Ha id g;i)l"ped twice round the couwe.- Mus keteer and Prince Charlie had a sp-n, tue lattor travelling the three quarters of a mile in lmin. 35si:cs. Am zon next ap peared on the track, but seemed 'a little In me. Kalo and old. Lara, both looking well, did a spurt. The tinner got through the last half-mile in 54sect. Cauard and Clarence did a grand gallop,and Moonstone, who apptars to have learnt to gallop, was sent round the plough. Turquoise, with George Williams in the saddle.appca1 e1 on the racing tack, and at once became the centre of attraction. He is undoubtedly a graud-lookiog colt, and bis action leaves nothing to be dt si' eel. After a preliminary, (,'cor^o started him for tke Cup distance, which was g>>t over in 4mins. 21 2-sths sees, The lost half of the distance (one mile and a furlong) was; journeyed in 2'uin*. 3secs. The best colonial time for the UJ m 'es is Fir.-t Water's—4cnins. 2Jsecs Betrayer's Ca> terbury iup was wonin4mine. jscc. But to re tun to the course. '\ft>-r Turquilso'« gallop, Mom -ton and Kcnilworth were sent oil' in com pany. I timed Mo nstone's last tor- c quarters of a mile-lmi.i. 25<ec\ Thorpe's atriup di:i walk ng (jxercise at the rear of the grand stand W clconie Jack, whose •ikinc.sß to Tim v. hilller is very strilrng, .iiune on the track iv clothing, with Willie liutler up, aud did n -low training gallop twice round the c urse—the laat three quarters of a. mile in lmin, SOsecs* Rewi, to tec whom quite a number had made the pilgrimngo to the course, next put in an ap pc > ranee, looking as strong as a lion, Voiing McG'O was in the saddle Shott'y after his appearance on the track, Yatapa also emerged, with Hunt up. The twain Jit) a training gallop for over a mile, but on reaching the three-quarter-mile post the boys put on steam, and an interesting gallot; ensued. The three-quarters wa« ri'gotiatediu lmin, 23sccs. by '<ewi, though it was evident that he could have done it seconds sooner. This brought the proceedings of the morning to a close. The rain to-day v;ould be gratefully ttclcnmcd by the tracing fraternity, and I have no doubt but that the early birds at tho course during the remainder of the week .will see plenty of fast work. Very general egret was expressed at thenon-appearmee of Vortex and his lady trainer, Miss Byers,

Fire at Foxton.-Damages, £2000.

(BY TELEGRAPH.— PRPSS ASSOCIATION.) FOXTON, Tuesday. A serious lire broke out hero at eno o'clock this morning, when Mr T. K. Wil liams'a store was burned to the ground, and all the stock destroyed. The stock was estimated at ovor £2090. Tbo building was a very old one, and was insured for £250 The origin of thu fire is a complete my6tery. Genrge Williams, the proprietor's brother, sleeps on tha premises, and when he retired at eleven o'clock last sight, everything was safe. The fire was no sooner obaerved than the whole buiiding was a ma<i of flames, preventing anyone approaching it. Only a few pounds of tobacco were taved. The Primitive Methodist Church on the north side, and the old Custom Houas on the south side, were saved with difficulty, there being fortunately no wind at the time. The correct insurances are:—S"uth British . £500, and National £12150, of which £500 , was re-insared in the Scottish Imperial and I £260 in the TJnitetf making the^net loss «E the National Company £500, I

BUILDERS' ASSOCIATION.

A meeting of tbe Builders' Associ. ation was held Infct ewniop, Mr A. Pollard presiding during tbe enrlicr part oj the evening, and Mr W. G. Connolly Bufe quently. It was decided that the atmive,. sary should be celebrated _by an exooraioii toSt Helier'sßav on January 16th. £ letter was read from the Carpenters' atid Joinerg' Association, asking the opinion of the builders concerning the advisability of a Saturdaj half-holiday.—Mr lihofo. wished to know how the time1 wa^ to he made up, and jr, Holland said it meant paying the men Is 4d per hoar instead of la 3d-!. Mi McCoil said the request was for"! simple concession of two hou a per week It was eventually sg cod ii^oi the motion of Mr Constable, who thought the carpem' ters were cot badly trested, that this associa'ion way to entertain the proposition, but if they wished for a ball-holiday, the builders had no objection to pay th. m by the hour, and lot them take the half-holiday if they choose," An* amendmcut by Mr Pollard that the pay le jls 4d per hour was aot seconded, Thj meeting then proceeded to discuss tha buildiug conditions* Me Connolly said that; [ a tub-committee had met a committee of I the Institiro of Architects, and although they had not . brought up a jj y j rrport, the conditions now before I the meeting had been agreed to, The con titions were then read to the meet* ing, the clausei being read seriatim. They vere mostly the .ame as the No. 2 aetot liond'm condition* which it had been agreed to adopt, With slight alterations, at" the last meeting. The alterations agree! jto were mostly technical. The,insurance i cause provid d tbat instead of insuring In the joint names of the proprietor and con. tractor For half the amount of the contract i the buiWcr is to insure in the proprietor's | naini for the amount which ho receives oa I his con'roct, anl icsurcia his ownname for what am-'nut be pleases. This' | amendment the mooting agreed to, j Three clauses were added, dealing with ! deposits and the time for signing tenders, The compensation clause pro?ided for payi me t, in tbe event of the employer not carrying on the work, of compensation to the lowest tenderer of £2 2» for a JESUO j b a guinea additioni for c «ry £1 000 up to £10,000; but in no in. stance is the compensation to exceed £15 15s The third clause i 3—" The lowest or any tender not necessarily accepted.*—lt w >8 agreed to cubmit the conditions to Mr Heketh for his opinion, and in the erentof that being favourable, that the officers be empowered to lay them before the atcbitetts fur signature.

Mrs. Linton's School.

The break-up of Mrs Linton's school, Pevonport, was held yesterday afternoon in the Odd'eUows' Ball, and largely attea« • ded by pupils and parents. As the first annual break-up in connection with Mrs Liuton's school, much interest was_ felt in . th-i pleassrable event. The previous ex-feSf aminatians) were conducted by the Ee?i Jofeph Bates, uf the Holy Trinity parish, a>d liw report of the 'ame given in. Mr Bit.s exn essed his tratifKation with the f, p ipera which had been fsubmitted by the pupi:s, »nd particularly remarked upon the : excellence of the penmanship. The prizes wrre distributed as follows (oy the . examiner):—Fiist p;izes: For Latin, Bertha ■ Bartle.v ; for English, Arthur Koberton; for arithmetic given by the Rev, Mt Bates), Olive Russel ; for trench, Lily Gilmer. A special prize for good conduct during the past twelve month?, by Mrs McKellar, web awarded to Nelly Bates; 1 and c ne for diligence and application, to Edith Gardner.

"Ten Days in Palestine."

The Rev. Alexander Keid repeated his I popular and entertaining lecture, "Ten ! Days in Palestine," last evening, in the;=; North Shore Wcsloyao Ohurcb, to a large < and appreciative audience. Tea days in a oountry which bears a hallowed reputation, fragrant -with sacred memories, seem almost too brief a stay for a traveller to gather mucb information, but Mr Reid travels with his eyes »pea to every object of general - interest, and his discourses are always full ;; of instruction. He is particularly alive to ; the beautiful in its Eeveral aspects—the ■ poe'ic, historic, and devotional, His ! sketches of the beauties of Sjria, and the people of Palestine, were extremely ia« 1 structiyfs. strange, however, as it may | seem, the inhabitants of these sacred and; > classical latds are eutirely Wanting in that § spirit of industry and enerpy which dis-1 tmguiehed the islaLders of Europe. We are a:; told that in Jerusalem eveu, men of immense - wealth live in houses which are studiously rendered squ»lid and wretched without, H though the inner arrangements are com' ? for (able and costlj, and that Palestine ■ rec.ives even a slight and slovenly culture. :\ All intelligent travellers agree in the state-; f rarnt that Palestine displays abundant evidences of ntiural fertility, thatiufacV it is a'' land flowing with milk and honey;" '•! but the people are almost too indolent to gather Heaven's free gift*. The Brothers " Bartif y, assisted by ladies and gentlemen of the district, gave a number of vocal and ' instrumental pi ces. At ths close of the lecture a col'ection was made on behalf of the liabilities incurred by recent improve'"\ ment^ to the canrcb ; ahd'finally a Tote of hatks to Mr Keid was carried by accljtma ion, endiDg with the benediction. i ■

Waitemata Masonic Lodge.

The annual meetiDg of this lodge was held on Monday tveniog in the Masonic Ball, for the installation of officers, etc,. The brethren and visitors mustered largely. Brother a. Wright, W.M., Lodge Ara, and P.M. of Lodye Waiteniata, officiated and conducted the ceremony in a highly ■im». pressive manner. Brother W. A. Fenton was installed W.M., and p-oceeded to iuvrst the Qfficets for the cnmlng year as follows:—T. McCollough, S. W. jCaptaia J. Elliot, J.W.; Rev. C. M, Nelson, P.M., obaplan'; J. L. Uatswell, P.M, treasurer; H. Q. Wade, P.M., secretary; J. But ler, D.C.; Major James Pirie, organ ist ;W. H. Jacobs, S.D.; A. Jackson, J.D. ; E Augur, 1.6.; H. Fogden and W, Grey, stewards; and Captain Tonge, tyler. At the close of this imposing ceremony, an excellent repast was provided, of which the brethren pattook. The newly installed W.M. presided and proposed the usual Masonic toast' of the evening. Brothers D.D.G.M. Lodder, for the E.C., and P.M. Burns, tor the 1.C., replied, and referred to the brotherly feeling which prevailed ro tho threo constitutions of New Zealand. Brother D.D.G.M, Lodder proposed the health of the W.M., and 6poke ol the efficiency he had displayed in con dueling "the business of "the Lodge when he held the position sof P.M. on- a previous occasion. His knowledge of the craft generally had induced the brethren to entrust him with the master ship of the lodge for the ensuing year.— Brother Fenton resrocded, and said the honour had fallen to his lot quite, unex pectedly, but as an act of duty becoming every Mason, he had accepted tho position for another term, and if he bad merited the approbation of the b ethren in his previous term of office, nothing should be left wanting on his part to secure a similar re; suit during the present year.—The toast or. "The Visiting Brethren" was proposed by Brother P.M. Wade, and responded to by Brother Powley. The 1.P.M., Brother Waddel, proposed "The Health of thq Installing Master," and several others vero proposed and acknowledged, and the lodge was closed in the usual manner, :
