1.0-Day's Races.

The unpropitioua appearance of|the sky to day, induced the weather-wise to predict miserable weather for to-day's races. This prediction has only been verified in part, occasional showers falling and keeping the course decidedly damp. The attendance conld not have exceeded 2000, and there was a decided paucity of the fair sex. Consider able surprise was expressed at the wholesale scratching in some of the Digper events, and especially in .the Autumn Handicap. The fiist race started at 1 o'clock.

The starter cannot lie complimented on the manner in which he got the horses away. Virginia Wattr was very fractious and broke away several times. When thu flag fell she got the be3t of the start, but was quickly overhauled by Maid of Honour and Mischief. These lwo lay together neck and-neck until the back of the course was reached when the Maid drew away and had obtained a lead of a length in the cut tiog. Mischief's rider whipped hard, but could not obtain the paemier position. Virginia Water, when about three quartos* of the distance had been traveised, fame np with a grand rush and passed Miscief in the straight, bnt shot his bolt before he reached tho quarters of Mr Smith's game little mare. 'I'he Maid eventually won hands down by a good length. Florin was nowhere from start to finish, and finished several hundred yards behind the third horse.

THE MINISTERIAL CRISIS

The Reported Dissensions in the

Cabinet,

\ Why the Governor Summoned

Sir Georfje Grey,

(BY TELEGRAPH.—OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

! WELLINGTON, this day. I On excellent authority I learn this morn . ing that Sir Arthur Gordon has sent for fcir George Grey to form a new Ministry, Bis Excellency having accepted the resig -1 nation of the present Ministry. It was generally anticipated that he would imme diately have placed himself in communica tion with some member of the late Cabinet with a view to a re-construction. This he has failed to do np to the present. On the ■ contrary, as I have already stated, he has ' sent for Sir George Grey. His Excellency :is expected to return to Wellington either this evening or to-morrow, morning when a ; further development of the political crisis is anticipated.

(BY TELEGRAPH OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

CHRISTCHURCH, this day. The "limes" to-day,-referring to the resignation of the Ministry, sympathises with Mr Hall, and says :— "Although op posing his policy for some years, we recoe nisc him as a public man who has been stricken with illness at the post of duty, We believe it will be touud that Mr Bryce, a3 well as Mr Whitaker, havo resigned actually before the Premier. It is note worthy that when the Hinemoa was conveying Major Atkinson and Mr Bryce south from the Manukau the other day in a desperate hurry, Mr Bryce left the steamer at New Plymouth, and went home to Wanganui., We believe that the only thing to account for this is Mr Bryce's resignation. The two [resignations had a fatal cited on Mr Hall a nervous state. Incapable ot further worry, he felt unablo to face any longer the cares of cilice. A cool examination of the subject strengthens the opinion that the Cabinet is hopelessly divided. Minis terial organs have unswervingly maintained ever since the elections that the Govern ment had an absolute and strong majority. From a Ministerial point of view, then, the Premier's unhappy illness is not a reason for his colleagues to resign. Being a united body, as the Ministerial organs tell us, they ought to have had no difficulty in finding another colleague from tae ranks of the great party which is ready to carry them through the coming session. The Opposition view of the political situation is different. The Opposition journals have never claimed an absolute majority : the utmost they have done is to point out that the state of parties * * ia doubtful. Taking thu view of the situation, we cannot toe that Ministers are called upon to resign if they are a united body. Being united, they have every in centive to try and convert the doubtfulness of the situation into a certainty for them selves. It is possible _ that the extensive and careful Ministerial feeling of the pulses, as going on for the last few month?, has convinced Ministers they are actually in a minority, 'If so their game— whether united or not—ia up. Not being united, their case must bo hopeless. The position in which the Governor is placed is difficult. He has to find out who is en titled to represent the couutry—that is to say, he has to find out what nobody in the country at present pretends to Know. A report current saya he has sent for Sir George Grey. We have strong reasons to believe he has done so, and that both he and Sir George will be in Wellington shortly. The object of. the meeting is not necessarily the appointment of Sir G. Grey to the Premiership. A conference as to the state of parties is, we should say, the most likely object ot bis Excellency. The Government itself being hopelessly divided, it is natural to suppose that' the Govern ment party also id in the same dispersed condition. As a matter of fact it never was vigorously united. If he has been advised to send for air George Grey, the object of the advice is apparent. It ignores the Opposition party known to be forming, and calculates on hardening the dissolving, Atkinson following by a fresh application of the old cement. Above all things it re moves the onus of preparing a policy* from shoulders that are unable to bear the burden, at the came time placiug it on those who are not ready. If the action of His Excellency is perforce spontaneous, he lias turned to the chief of the former Ministry, who always has been, since he left office, the most prominent member of the Opposition. The position is exceptionally dillicult. The state of par ties has been balanced by a new election. 'I here is no clue by which side tho prepon derance may be arrived at. The Govern ment have resigned before the first meeting of the new Parliament; yet it is necessary to find the ruling party. Such positions are not common, out where they have been met with, the result has almost invariably been the return of the resigning Ministry in a more or less reconstructed form. The new Ministry are sometimes like spirits of the vasty deep. They may be called, but will they come T"

WANGANUI, this day, OPINION OF MR BAXLANCB.

The " Wanganui Herald " (Mr Balance's paper), in an article on the resignation of tbe Ministry, says: "It is true that Sir Gco, Grey has been sent for. He 'will hays no difficulty in forming a ministry, which would probably be met in the circumstances with a, disposition on the part of the majority to show it fair play."

PONSONBY REGATTA.

Wk have little to add to our report pub lished last evening. The water having calmed towards evening, Messrs W. and T. Farquhar emtered iuto competition for the amateur sculleri' prize, the race resulting in an easy win for the former through one of his brother's rowlocks carrying away by a capsize. The Lively maintained her lead in the 1G feet open sailing boat-race and came in an easy winner, with the Spray second, Nellie third, and Ada ' a good fourth. As we went to press yesterday the Olive was leading easily. She maintainsd her position and came in an easy winner, the Kipple being second, and the Beryl third, The ships' gig race was a very exciting contest. The barque Thames sent her boat as a post entry, and it was expected that being an Auckland-built and new craft she would do some good work. The roDgh weather, however, made the Ara bella's crew the favourite, their' boat boing especially suitable for the troubled water*. The Arabella and Alcestis got away together, and pulled a very close race over the whole course, with the others struggling for third place. The Arabella led to the hulk, but here the Alcestis put on a 'spurt, and succeeded in rounding first. Ihelosd was not retained long, for on^ the pull to the flagship the Arabella gradually edged ahead, eventually winning by about three lengths; Alcestis, second; Thames, third; Pareora, fourth; Oxford, last. Masters A. and C, Farquhar aadC. Petley competed in the vub race, ths prize being won by C. Farquhar. W. Pulford acted as duck in an exciting hunt, but was secured by one of the crew of the Asteroid shortly after taking to the water. The dingy race and model yacht race have been postponed until Saturday, A word of praise is due to Captain W. Farquhar, who successfully performed the onerous duties of starter, Bach race was sent off at the programme time, and therefore one was not allowed to encroach on the preceding or following event. •

PRISONER,

A'mau named James Conway was arres ted by Detective Doolan at Oxford on Saturday evening, on a charge of horse stealing at Hawke's Bay. While bringing the prisoner to Cambridge on Sunday, near the pah farm, Doolan's mare became res tive. The prisoner took the opportunity to bolt. Doolan gave chase, and gained upon him. Conway abandoned his horse, and took to the bush at Taotaoroa. Ssveral civilians assisted to search for him, but failed to recapture him. Doolan brought the horse, saddle, and bridle into Cambridge on Sunday afternoon.

COROMAHDEL, this day,

The news re the Ministry is the great topic of conversation. The only surprise experienced is that Governor Gordon had not sent for Mr Cadman. TokvtkA. — I went through nil tho workings yesterday. The face of the main level looks very well. The mine generally has a promising appearance, The road from the mine to the top of the hill is in a dis graceful state. In the torrents of rain that fell, I had to lead my horse up. It was too dangerous to ride. The Council ought to repair this important thoroughfare at once, i Mr Watakins Edwards, school teacher, of Auckland.has died at the Upper Township. A man lately injured at Whangapoua is reported just dead at the Coromandel Hospital.

A telegram to the •'• Herald" from Switzer's «ay« :—" Kelty and Co.'a large store and office were destroyed by fire at 2 o'clock this morning. The fire ia supposed , to have originated from the bursting of a kerosine lamp, left burning in the store. Very little stock or furniture was saved. The flames spread so rapidly that thu occupants of the dwelling-house had barely time to escape. The insurances are :—National, £1,900 j Royal, £590." The old English Fayre was opened at Garrison Hall last night by Hiahop Neville, who read a poem written by himaelf.

They attacked the Cavalry Camp, which thoy took completely by surprise, and were delelared victors by Major Pitt. This morning a sham fight took place, in which the town corps, Wanganui Rifles, City Rides, and Naval Brigade were the attacking party, and the visitors, tho H Battery Nel son Artillery, tho Nelson City Rifles, the Stoke (Nelson) Rifles, the Waitnca (Nelson) Rifles, Nehon Naval Brigade, the Patea Rifles and the Ino Cavalry Corps The Alexandras and Wairoa were the defenders. Captain Watt, of the Wan ganui rifles, was in command of the attacking party and the Home foroes wero under command of Major Pitt, Cap tain Watts' men took a position a!tar finally driving the defending patty back to their quarters when a trnce was sounded and terms arranged. The atten dance of the public at the sham fight was rather thin, as there bad been no pub licity giren to the boor through the non-publishing of the newspapers. At 2 p.in,, a grand review was held, which was throughout a most brilliant success. There were between 400 and 600 people on the ground; the Grand Stand on the Course being more densely packed than ever be fore, The great feature of the review was the brilliant charges made by the cavalry, who charged almost upon the infantry, both .at tile firing and in squares. The weather held up capitaiy.

AMUSEMENTS.

DobAn's Minstrels.—The Albert Hall presented a cheerful appearance last! night, aid the singers received that approbation which is so pleasing, Tbo songs were the same as those ot Saturday. "Our Native Land," by the company, was a iiu« render ins, aQd elicited warm applause. Madame Andrco maintains her position among Mar shall and- his brethren with perfect sang froid. This lady's pianoforte performances are unexceptional, The Misses Thornton gave a duet with much acceptance. Messrs Campbell and Marshall won favour by their sentimental contributions. St. Clair appeared in a character song. The evening closed with a musical farco, "Love in Georgia," and " Southern Flirtations." A new, or nearly new programme this even ing. ■ IOBNK-STRKKT Ham.,— Dean's Minstrels had a crowded house last night at the Lome-street Hall, and the events indicated by the programme were faithfully per formed. The' Naval drum and life band played outside the hall, and no doubt had the effect of attracting numbers to the scene of action. The orchestra was of good repute, consisting of Messrs Slater, Hunter, and the Brothers Eady. ■ The carnival was well patronised, by Superintendent Hughes, Captain Butler, and other brigades, also by members of the Naval Brigade and their venerable, but' still active leader, Captain Leßoy. A few volnnteers were present. The first part of the entertainment was the "ohsiry" business. The following Eonga in this section were creditably given:— "Keep, Love, this Pledge Unbroken," Mr J. Feniday; comic, "Hoe de Corn, Moses," Mr George Gapes ; " When Birds and Blossoms Dream," Mr H. Austin; "Little Blue Eye's, Sweet and True," Mr Vf, Wesley ; comic, " The Jefsey Dress," Danny Bertio; " Let your Tears Kiss the Jflowers on my Grave," Mr £L. Dean. This part closed with " Going to Name the Baby," Bertie's handling of the representa tive in - long clothes causing roars cf laughter. Messrs Austin, Wesley, and Dean were onccred in .their sonjJS. In the second part,' Mr Wesley was not quite so happy in Byron's "Maid of Athens," which, for due expression, needs great com pass and varying power of voice. Mr J. Montague was one of the best comic singers wo have heard tor a 'long time. His "If I Were a Little Fly, 51 and "I'm Going to- Live Svith Mother" were' admirable and loudly cheered, Mr Montague, recently' from London, deserves credit for good judgment in the choice of his songs, they being free from slang words and- vulgarities. Bertie and Fairs (not Mortimer) were greeted in their budget of nigger comicalities, Mr 'Austin ung " Thou art so near and yet so Far" with true feeling, and Mr Hi A. Hughes danced a nautical hornpipe. The whole concluded with a one-act farce, " A Woman of Few Words,I', a capital piece with-a moral. The ball opened at the close of the concert, and was kept up with much spirit,Mr Hnghes.acting as M.C. Mr Dean, in thanking his friends for their support, stated that their next carnival would be held on the night of the Queen's Birthday, and half the proceeds would be given to the •'Fire Brigade Horse Fund." The Cky Council having declined to furnieh the brigade with horses, Dean's Minstrel's were determined to do what they could to furnish the neqeaeary horses.' ,

YE OLDE ENGLISHE FAYRE.

The attendance at the Fayro to-day was very Email, probably owing to the showers. Tho. Artillery Band was present, and played selections at frequent intervals, thus con tributing largely to the pleasure of the spectatars. A series of sports commenced at 2.30 p.m. The finst race was the iinal heat of the 300 yards Handicap. It resulted as follows :— O'B.ien, 10yds 1 Pickering, scratch 2 T. Whiteßide, 10yds A The Handicap, which was decided by points, has therefore resulted :-Fickeri_g, ]3 points, Ist prize, £5 ; T. Wlutesldo, 7 points, 2od prize, £3 ; O'Bricn,_ 6 points, 3rd prize, £1, Whiteside, who is a brother of the well-known toot-ball player of that name, ran remarkably well. The committee say that the Fayro would have been much more successful had the weather been favourable, and they also state that had the larrikins not attacked the harlequin yestoidiy, all the other items ot the programme would have been faithfully carried out, but that the dis orderly conduct of a portion of the public prevented the ctlnnibine and clown from appearing in their f erformancea,
