deal promptly with offenders against order, and has done so mote than once with good purpose. But it will be a bad thing for the future of the playhouse if f orcß_ is to follow the single protest of a dissentient voice." Many of the other pnpera are even crueller than the "Telegraph." The "Observer" says that a clever burlesque founded on "Pinafore" might have injured Gilbert and Sullivan's opera, or even necessitated an appeal to the law courts; but "The ■ "Wreck " is so feeble a production that not much harm in done save to the unfortunate persons who have to sit it out. "After all," the writer adds, "no one in hia sense 3 would dream of comparing the polished humour of Mr Gilbert and the characteiistio melody of Arthur Sullivan with Lingard'a aimless bnffoonery,or tho music-hall jingle of Searelle's so-called tunes." Another paper admits that " tho applause at the end of the first act was very boisterous, and may well have deceived Mr Luscombe Searelle into his sudden investment in cablegram?, but the ailence with which the audience filed out before the cur tain fell was unmistakable. It was indeed tho ' Wreck of the Pinafore.1" The "Times" opines that though "Tho Wreck," with it* cast of characters, pre cisely resembles "H.M.S. Pinutore," and therefore suggests an injunction in chancery, Messrs bilbert and Sullivan will he iucliaed to leave the dismal'production, to its natural fate. The business is dulness long drawn our, whilst the music is simply ameaningleßsjingle. The "Daily Chronicle" devotes nearly three-quarters of a column to "slating " Lingard and Seartlle. Its notice opens with an expression of thankfulness that the piratical colleagues are not Englishmen, and observe;) " that Mr Lingard, the librettist, Is as cumbersome in his humour as Mr Gilbeit is light, playfu', and graceful, and Mr Luscombo Searelle, the composer of the opora, is only like Mr Sullivan when ho flagrantly stoals his methods and imitates his airs." This ia rough on Luscombo, but not so bad as further down the column, whore the writer goes on to say that "when wo come to the music _ which the composer himself conducted, with many too audible instructions to hia orchestra, we find a mixture of old orchestral tricks for effect, and airs that are continually sug gesting melodies that have dono duty before. However, the finale was warmly received, and contributed to a suspiciously enthusiastic demonstra tion when the first act closed. Bouquets were handed from private boxea to the lady .soloists, the composer was called to anticipate, as be did in a little speech, a success that, like certain chickens, was counted a little before it was hatched ; and the audience thundered their approval, although certain individuals dissenting I caused an uproar in the gallery and tho violent expulsion of a gentleman in the circle." Criticisms of this character coming irom the usually indulgent metropolitan press would, most people will think, com pletely crush tbe vivacious Searelle. Not at all. I notice he advertises.the unqualified' success of '• The Wreck," which was (so he says, and here a little of the truth creeps out) "received on its first representation with emphatic demonstrations of approval, notwithstanding the palpable attempt of an organised opposition to prejudice the pro duction," Considering the theatre was threo-parts full of friends of the manage ment specially engaged to applaud, thia ia truly superb. Colonials at the Derby.

How little did the writer of these lines think, as he stood on the tiny Grand Stand at Elleralie last Boxing Day and watched the redoubtable King Quail sneak home a length in front of Hilda for the Auckland Cup, that five months later he would be witnessing the greatest of all great races from the dizzy height of the palatial erec tion on Epsom Downs, and mingling his feeble plaudits with tbe hoarse roar of mingled wrath and delight, which pro claimed to the assembled tens of thousands beneath that the favourite had, vulgarly speaking, "turned it up," and that for the first time for a quarter of a century a filly seemed, likely to carry off the blue riband of the British turf, Keminiscences of Epsom ought not, I am aware, to come un der the heading of "Anglo-Colonial Notes," but I hope, Mr Editor, yon will allow me a small space for my remarks on the subject, more especially as I propose to moralise firstly on a matter winch cannot but be of interest to all Auckland race-goers. I don't thick I have ever been to Ellerslie by train without Buffeting frightful inconvenience from the overcrowding, wretched arrange ments for conveying the compjny back to town. It always seemed to me that a fellow had to select one of two evils, either to decamp before half the racing was over, to avoid the crowd, or else to face the horrors of a pushing, bawling, opprobrious colonial mob, whose tempers had been soured^y an inexplicable delay ot forty or fifty minutes on the platform, and who were all Dent on shoving first into the carriages, Well, on the 24th I went to the Derby by rail, and this was my experience :—Kacing began at two, but wishing to fee all the fun of the fair I left home about 11.30 a.m., and drove to Waterloo station in a hansom. Long before we crossed tbe bridee the crowd of carriages going the same way evi denced that many others were bound tor the south-western station also, and by-and by oar driver pulled into a walk, and the numerous vehicles fell into orderly double line, 'i he arrangements at the station were admirable. Despite the mob of cabs and carriages setting [down (passengers, there was not the smallest block. Policemen, well np to their work, directed the traffic, and the pleasure-seekers passed at once cither to the ticket offices (of which there must have been half-a-dozen) or straight into the station. We (i.e., myself and a friend) had the precaution to .purchase tickets beforehand at one of the Strand shop?, consequently we made instantly for the departure platforms. Of these there were four, guarded by strong iron gates. Porters passed the race-goers through to tbe front of the train first, and then, as the premier carriages filled, to the back ones, carefully looking the door of each compart ment, There was no crash, no jostling, no over.crowding. Every compartment carried the number it was licensed to carry,, and no more. When a train was full, it moved out of the station' on its way to .Epsom, stopping- only at Wimbledon, for which two or three carriages were specially reserved. The route lies through Clapham Junction, one of the most com plicated railwpy centres in the' world, fin&'yet the traffic both on Derby and Oaks was without' a Mt'ch. I learn from tbe papers that over' 45,000 persons went to Epsom by rail from London alone on Derby Day, and that between 10.30 and 1 o'clock; twenty-eight first-class specials containing 13,0d0 people started from Waterloo and thirty-eight specials with 14,000 from Vic toria, besides fifteen expresses from Lon don Bridge, seven from Kensington, and others from the Metropolitan stations; In addition to these1, cheap and special trains were ran from Liverpool, Manchester, Leeds, Brighton, and many other large cities straight to the Epsom Downs station, and re-despatched from there in the everi ing,' 'I commend the libove figures 'to your Me McDonald, who ought surely not to find niuch trouble' in despatching and bringing back in perfect comfort the 2000 or 3000 people1 who'go to an Agricultural Show or Auckland Cap at Ellerslie. Epsom, be it remembered, is eighteen miles from London, It'is not my intention to describe the racing very elaborately just here, so I will simply content myself by mentioning that I met Mr Cole, but not his fldus achates Mr Hopkins, at Epsom, and also. Captain Duncombe (who paid Auckland a visit in 1876 and 1877.) I was told Sir Henry Parkea was present, and happen to know, that Mr Upton came to town that day. The great event itself proved to be a gorgeous fi;ht, and well worth the frantic struggle I Went through to'get to the top of the stand. There was an icy shower dur ing the first ran, but the sun shone brightly as the 14 runners tor the 103 rd Derby . paraded. Strikingly thorougbred they one' and all appeared, from the favourite Bruce, wlio'se rider, '■' Thammy " Mordah, looked the picture of smiling confidence in bis new "cnerry jacket and blackcap,'1 to the beautiful brown filly, Dutch Qren, that many hoped would enable the redoubtable Freddy Archer to, score his third Derby in succession, i The story of the race does not take long to tell. Eight months ago Mr Rymill's Brace, a handsome bay colt by See-Saw, closed a victorious two year old career by Winning the .Criterion Stakes at Newmarket, and from that time he became first favourite for the Derby of 1882, a proud position, which he maintained (des pite considerable oppesition at .various times) till' the flag fell. Next to him, in the betting, at the start, was the P,ake of WestminsDcr'p Shotoyer, a beautiful chqst; put filly, who had first surprised 'her con nections by winning, the Twp ihiiJUsand, and then disgusted them by losirjg file One Thousand Guineas. After the last named catastrophe, Shotovor was driven to 20 to 1 . for she Derby, and althaugh sho afterwards came to a much shorter quotation, many preferred the chance ot the second in the Guineas, Quicklime, who, it was thought, |?i would be benefit ted by time. Between these three—Brace, Shotover, and Quicklime, the cognoscenti voted, the result would, lie, > . jind-yejry heavy the betting in favour,

£10,000 to £4000 tho day hefore the race, having previously accepted in one hand such Wagers aa £15,000 to £5000 and £12,000 to £4000. Lord Bradford and the followers of Qoioklime (mostly City men) were also very extravagant in their outlays both to win and 1, 2, 3; indeed, it seems probable that Shotover tvaa the best favourite of the three lor the King, who, partly owing to the One Thousand fiasco, and partly owing to the fact of no filly having won the Derby for 25 years, never' had the chance to lay any very large sums against her. Even at tbe last reoment Shotover wasn't fancied, and when the liing met on Derby morning 8 to 1 was offered against her, though .she subsequently re turned to 11 to 2, Others basked to win good stakes were Dutch Oven (principally because of being Archer's mount) tbe French colt Executor, and Fenelon, on whom tbe JJnko of Hamilton stood to win a fortune. The following are the par ticulars of the race :—

At 12 minutes past three the starter took the pair iu|hand,and after ono breakaway a capital atart was effected. For a short dis tance the colours of Pursebearcr, Real Grit, Bruce, and Marden were seen in advance, but after going a short distanco the last named dashed to the front, closoly attended by the favourite, the pair being clear of their field through the furzes, The pace was a cracker from the start, and both Archer and Cannon laid away with Dutch Oven and Sltotover, while the two out siders, Psyche and Satrap, were thus early beaten oil. After going half the journey the two leaders drew further away, but ia the meantime. Shotover and Dutch Oven had been getting nearer the front division, and as they commenced the descent they both drew up to Quicklime aud Garetu, who weic in close attendance on Puisebearer, Sachem, aud Gerald. The last-named soon afterwards dropped away beaten/while Fdndlon and Executor were evidently done with. Marden and Bruce I both swept round the bend into the straight very wide, letting up Pursobaarer, Sachem, Shotover, Quicklime, Gareth, and Dutch Oven under the rails. The first and last named were in trouble soon afterwards, and then a tremendous shout from the ring announced tbat Bruce was also in difficul ties. Quicklime then shot to the front, and for a moment or two he was loudly pro claimed the winner, but at the commence ment ef the stand inclosure Cannon closed with Lord Bradford's coh without calling upon Shotover for an apparent eSort, and the Two Thousand heroine won in the cleverest manner by a length from Quick lime ; and Mordan for some reason ceasing to ride Bruce, Webb called upon Sachem, and the place backers of the favourite had the gratification of seeing their money lost through sheer inanition, and Sachem, in the third-place instead of Bruce, who, of course, was fourth, with Gareth fifth, and Dutch Oven sixth. Time, 2oains / 45se<ss. ; value of the stakes, £4,800.

Laiih ley appeared for the plaintiffs, and Messrs Tyler and Theo. Cooper (instructed by Mr George) for the defendants.- The declara tion set oat that on or about the 22nd of A pril, 1881, the plaintiffs, who trade under the name of V, Porter aad Co,, delivered to the defendants 100 cases of dynamite and one box of dotouatora for conveyance to Wellington in the tcUooner Atlantic, of which the defendants were owneis, and James McEenzie captain, the said goods being destined for the trustees of E, W. Mills and Co., of "Wellington, and bills of lading being given in respect of them. The charge for freight was fixed at£ls, and the vessel sailed away with the goods, bat they were not safely and securely carried and delivered as contracted, as, it is affirmed, by reason of the negligence of defen dants they became wholly lost to the plaintiffs, wherefore they put in the present claim, which was for the valno of the goods, with cartage, lighterage, and freight added,—The defendants, in their pleadings, denied that on or about the 22nd Apr.l, 1881, the plaintiffs delivered, and that they received, in the manner alleged, the dynamite and detonators re ferred to, inasmuch as prior to that time, viz., on the 4th of February, 1381, they had demised the Atlantic, by charter party, to Captain James McKenzio, which was still in force on the 22nd April follow ing, but they contended that the goods were delivered to, and received by them, as agents of the consignees, viz., the trustees of £. W. Mills and Co. at Wellington, at whose risk and for whose benefit they were to ba carried. They further..claimed, that: the goods were lost through the damages of the sea, and not by reason of any negligence or Wrong act on their part. The issues first arranged for the determination of the jury were as follow : (1) Did the plaintiffs on or about; the 22nd. of April, 1881, deliver tp the defendants tho goods mentioned, in the declaration, to wit, 100 cases of dynamite and fine box of detonators, to be carried for the plaintiffs in the vessel Atlantic from Auck land to Wellington, and to be there delivered according to the terms and subject to the conditions contained in tho bill of lading mentioned in the said declaration, and did the defendants receive and accept of the plaintiffs the said goods to be carried as aforesaid ? (2) Did the de fendants, as owners, on or about the 4th of Feb., 1881, enter into the alleged charter party with one James McKenzie ? (3) Was the said vessel at the time of Shipment of the said goods and at the time of signing the said bill of lading in the possession of the said James McKenzie under the eaid pharter party? (4) Had tb,e plaintiffs notice and knowledge of the said' charter party prior to arid at the tijrie of shipping the said goods ? (6) Ww the delivery of 1 the said goods, as in the declaration alleged, a delivery to the defendants as agents for the consignees, to wit, the trustees of E, W. Mills and Co., at whose risk, and for whose benefit, the said goods were to be carried ? (6) Were the defendants prevented from carrying and deliveting the said goods,' as aforesaid, by any of the perils or causes In the¥aid bill; of lading excepted? (7) Did the said goods, during the'said voyage, become wholly lost to the plaintiffs by reason of the negligence and wrongful act of the defendants ? (8) What damages (if any) are the plaintiffs entitled to recover from the defendants ? On this occasion, however, all the - issues were ad mitted except the fourth one, and this the jury were empannelled to decide.—The tirst witness called was Alfred Barngs, shipping agent, who deposed tb,at in April. 1831, he received' instructions froju the plaintiffs (Messrs 3f. Porter and 06.) to find a vessel fa cqnyey IQQ cases of'dyna mite from Auckland to Wellington, but that subsequently learning that the Atlantic was partially laden at Auckland for JLy Hel ton, he was directed to make arrangements for its conveyance by her. He accord ingly opened up negotiations with Mr M. Niccol (the agent), and Captain McKenzie (master ot the vessel;, tor the carriage of thn goods, and the necessary deviation in the voyage, At first |Captain McKenzie wanted £20 freight, but eventually he con sented to talse the £Is, or 3s'pqr case, that Was oifferoi." Witness reported the arrange. mentlXo "Messrs B. Porter and po., and there his share in the matter etydp'd, - Qafe tain Jajneg ' MoKptiaie deposed that fn Marpb, 18^1, he entered jnto a charter party with the defendants, for the use of the Atlantic, ?uici that it was Btill -current when the arrange ments were made with the plaintiffs for the conveyance of the dynamite. He did not explicitly tell Mr Barnes of the charter party, but he alluded to it by stating that he had to pay a heavy rent for the vessel, viz.,- £35 per month.—Malcolm Niccol, agent „ for Captain McKenzie, gave

animation the case for the deftndanta ended,—Mr E. Heskoth then stated the plaintiffs' case, after which the following witnesses were called : -John Chambers, one of the plaintiffs, who de posed that he never heard of the alleged charter party until after legal proceedings had been instituted; Alfred Porter and James Hardie (the other defendants), who gave corroborative evidence; and Alfred Barnes, who was briefly cross-examined. -Mr Tyler and Mr E. flesketh then itt turn addressed the jury. At 3,20 p.m. the inry returned an answer in the negative to the 4th issue, viz., that no notice had been given the plaintiffs of any charter party. His Honor thereupon gave judgment for the plaintiffs for £464 17s 6d, which is the amount of their claim less the £15 freight that they did not pay. B The question of liability for the costs of the previous trial was held over for deter mination in Chambers.

The Court then adjourned till 10 o'clock to-morrow morning.
