Says "Sir Launcelot": "We were treated to a look at several twn.year-olds in the saddling paddock on the occasion of the Hunt Club Steeplechases. Vanguard was not out, but Cheviot was accompanied by Grip, Lis, and the two newly named year lings, "Barnaby" by Korari—Awatea, and "Uudcis" by Albany—No Name. The son of Idalia was in clothing, but from what I saw of him, I should say he was particularly forward. Messrs Mason and Vallance had Turquoise down, but the son of Tubal Cain was very much in the rough, and of the others parading the paddock I was the most pleased with Mr G. Bate's (illy Minerva, who is a full sister to Chan, cetlor. Her contemporary and stable com panion The Jilt, who is a full sister to Fleur-de-Lys, is also very promising, and in these two young ladies the white jacket aud blue cap will, if good looks go for any thing, have two very formidable represen tatives during the season now soon to coaimenec." Mr Walters has at last decided on naming his young stock. The Hippo campus-Slander filly has been named Hippodamia, aud the Hippocampus—Yat tuiiua lilly, Hippporiua. Musketeer and Fusilecr are the names of the promising colts by Musket out of Yatterina, and their half-brother out of Fanny Fisher has been christened Torpedo, The two sons of "Xattendon and Peeress have the ap propriate handles of Herculaneum and F itz Hercules. Tho aggregate value of the stakes run for this "year at Ascot exceeded £25,000, shewing the splendid average of £9-7 for each race. 'J he principal winner was Lord Bradford, 5,98550v5., of which Quick lime contributed 2,52550vs ; Retreat, I.7Go.sovs ; and Battlefield, 1,700-:ovs. Mr J. H.

BREVITIES.

The annual meeting of the Auckland Racing Club will be held on Monday, when no doubt amongst other business the question of holding a Spring Meeting will be considered, The Thames Jockey Club intend giving £500 in tdded money at their meeting this season.

Shotover, the Derby winner, cost the Duke of Westminster 1,400 guineas as a yearling.

Mr Kerr, who brought over the American trotting horses, is a relative of Bob Ray's. Othello, a two-year-old colt by St. Albans —Zilla, and consequently full brother to Ta-man,who petformed so creditably in the South last year, was recently sold at Hobart for £19.

Totalisator3 are becoming thick a9 sweeps in Melbourne, There are now about thirty advertised, and by the time the cup is run for there will probably be a hundred. The Australian suggests that as the V.X.C. have netted £1,650 out of the book makers' licensing fees, they should] employ a couple of detectives to see that the privi leges of the licensed metaUicians are not infringed by unlicensed persons "layin» the odds,"

According to the "eternal fitness of things," Maid of Honor's foal, in pros pectu, should be a speedy youngster. The Maid won seven races since she visited Musket. Apropos of the above, Mr Smith informs me that he has been offered £300 down for the foal, by Mr Morrin, the latter accepting all risks. English advices show that Dutch Oven, despite her illness, ran well in the Derby. The stud mare Tantrums by Cossack- Termagant has been destroyed. She was dam of Janglcr, who so nearly wrosted the Canterbury Unmpagne Stakes from Trump Card in 1877. The unlucky Liteller ran 1.3 races last season ; was first once, twice second, twice third, and eight times unplaced. The representatives of the Papakura stable, Hippodamia and Libeller, are still amongst the 31 horses who have accepted for _he C.J.C. Handicap. Siesta, Lady Emma, and Betrayer should have a big say in this event. Cheviot and Iris are amongst those who did not make the second pay ment.

1,000 to 40 has been taken about Musket's son, Martini-Henry, for the Maribyrnong Plate,

I There is some talk of the Fakuranga Hunt Club following the example of the Victoria Amateur TurE Club, and Inserting a race for horses nominated by ladies in their steeplechase programme. Mr Yeend, a sportsman well known in New Zealand and Australia, will shortly pay Dunedin a visit,

TERRIBLE SHIPPING DISASTER.

Loss of Steamer Escambria, with 25 Lives.

Another terrible disaster has been added to the long list of maritime calamities, by the foundering of tho British steamer E.cambria, Captain Purvis, outside San Francisco, and the loss of twenty-five lives. The steamer sailed trom Mission Rock at 5 p.m., bound for St. Vincent, Pilot Low who watched her off the Head?, saya : _ " She then appeared to be all right, except that she Hated somewhat over to port. I funposed site would right up in a few minutc3, but instead of that she continued to heel over more and more. The wind had come up fresh, suddenly, in the afternoon and it was rough on the bar. In a little while she got square into the trough of the sea, and had now a bad list and thought they were trying to get her round to come back, but she was so fa* over that the helm was of but little nsi> Her head was, however, got to the sea, but this did not help her any. She still con tinued to go over. The last I saw of her she was lying over on her port beam, with her masts level with the water. I turned to the telephone a moment to communicate her condition to the Merchants' Exchange and immediately returned to the gla.s, but every trace ot the ship had disappeared, She had evidently gone to the bottom." THE CAPTAIN'S STATEMENT. According to the statement made by Captain Purvis, one of the four survivors, the steamer went pretty well until after pilot Rodgers had left her, nut between the ianet and outer bar 3 some accident must have occuned to her engines, bat what that accident wa3 nons can tell at present, as the first and second engineers were on duty belotf, and went down with the ship. The third engineer was off watch. The ship fell into the trough of the sea, became entirely unmanageable, and would not answer her helm. While in this predica ment, aud yet expecting that she would right herself, three immense waves poured over the vessel, half filling her with water through every aperture, swamp, ing, and eventually capsizing her. All was confusion. Many men were below. The captain alone remained on the bridge. With him, for some few moments, was George, the first mate. The captain im plored him to keep cool, and stand by him. But it is said that since poor George was wrecked on the Arcadia he had lost his nerve and good judgment. He at ohco ru.hed to a boat, but in his excited frame of mind lost his life, the boat being swamped, and he drowned after his heal had been badly ernshed. THE STET7dCLE FOE LIFE. In the excitement and the rush of men, the lifeboat had the repes of the davit at one end cat, the men rushed into her half full of water and without oars. The Bmall boat with eight men was safely lowered, and was probably a hundred yards from the ship when the captain, seeing he was the last on the rapidly foundering vessel, jumped overboard and swam to her and was taken aboard. For hours tbey did their best to save the drowning victims and the lifeboat, but unavailingly. The captain feels almost assured that all but the four reported saved have been lost. There were so many below, and so many drowned in the neighbourhood of the ship as s!_e went down, that he expresses no hope. The captain's description of how they strugtled for life in those breakers, In the fearful undertow, which prevails around this portion of the peninsula, is terrible. They clung, as it were, to the moving ropes of sand, grasping at them and almost drag ging themselves on fihore, nnti), at last, the friend'y waves landed them, thoroughly worn out and almost delirious. The ship had a cargo of 5,336,824 pounds of wheat, in addition to SO tons of coal and soma general car^o. The cargo is valued at £23,000, which, it ia stated, is fully covered by insurance. The Escambria was an iron screw steamer, and a comparatively new one, having been built in Sunderland, Eng< land, in 1879.

OVER A PRECIPICE.

San Francisco, June 21.

I About three weeks ago a large party of yonng people left this city, to spend a vacation at Camp Felton, which is near the town ot Felton, among the red woods of Santa Crnz county, A driva by moonlight, to Santa Cruz, had been pro posed, but this was objected to by many of the party, as the mountain road was known to be very steep and dangerous. Friday night, however, a party of twelve started on the trip which terminated so fatally. A hay wagon and four lior.-es were secured at Felton, in which the party left the camp early in the evening. SCENE OF THE ACCIDENT. About two miles from tbe camp on the country road, over which they travelled, there is a particularly dangerous point, The road has been cut along the side of tho mountain, and at this point, it is narrow and made of planking. It runs also on tha verge of a precipice several hundred fest high, overlooking the boisterous stream known as San Leandro Creek. The road way is so narrow tbat there is room for one vehicle only, provision being made at stated intervals for teams to pass one another. THB ACCIDENT—BACKED OVER THE PRECIPICE. It was about one o'clock when the party reached this place. It was dim starlight, the moon having set, being then in its first quarter. Notwithstanding all this, the driver, a young man named Royce, con tinued to drive close to the edge of the precipice, although remonstrated with by some ot the young people. Suddenly one of the hind wheels slipped off the road, and the entire outfit, horse-, stage, and thirteen persons in it, went down over the precipice, a distance of about two hun dred feet, into the ravine below. The stage was demolished and two of the horses were Instantly killed or died soon after, and four of the party were also killed and several seriously injured. Those of the party who were uninjured crawled out from the wrecked stage as soon as possible, and set about extricating their companions. The cries of the horses and groans of the wounded persons were terrible to hear. Two of the party set out immediately to obtain medical aid, but, not knowing the locality, wandered about in the' woods. Abont a half hoar after tbe accident two wood choppers, encamped near by, hearing the cries of the wounded, came to their assistance. One of them, familiar with the country, set out for Felton for aid. Rousing the occupants of several hou.es, he secured their willing help, and, obtaining physician?, a relief party reached the scene of the accident about four o'clock in the morning. With tbe help of lanterns an ex amination was made. Four were found to be killed—three girls and a yonng man. A coroner's inquest was held at Felton at two o'clock on Saturday afternoon. The jury found averdict to the effect that the death of the victims of the disaster was caused by gioss carelessness on the part of Jesse Per kins and Charles Royce. Perkins lie. iv a critical condition, having received serious internal injurie.; bnt Royce, who wa-l uninjured, is in conoealment.

The Company was or iprinally projected for the purpose of a.iiuirim; blocks of XW& suburban land to be re-sold in lot., suitable for residence sites, and recently, with the view of adding to tho value of their lai.ds by affording greater facilities of access, the Provi-i'mal Directors havu entered into aii-angemnnts for providing a system of Tramways for the City and Suburbs. An agreement lias been mado with the City Council by which the Company has secured the exclusive right to construct and work such Tramways for a period of twenty-one years, nnd the terms of the conceasion leave no room to doubt that the undertaking will be advanta geous to tho community uud protitable to tho proprietors. The properties already purchased consist of several blocks of choice land, comprising the St. lit-lier's Hay Estate of ti-'U no cs. the liemuera Land Company's Estate of 117 acres, and tbo Northcotu Estate of 1012 acres, amounting in all to 171-1 acres; the whole being admirably adapted for villa sites.combining the ad vantages of extensive frontage to the Waitcmata Har bour, picturesque scenery and soil of excellent quality, together withju-oxiinlty to tho city. The sales already effected have averaged £200 per acre in Kemuera, and £120 at St. Helier's, and land adjacent to the Xorthcotc Estate has been recently sold at £100 per acre. Tho directors call special attention to tbo great increasa of value which has resulted from the construction of tramways in suburban districts in other places, amounting in some cases to ten times the original cost; and as tho Company's lands wero purchased before any provision of the kind bad been made, it is reasonable to anticipate a. similar favourable result in tbo present instance, it is Intended to proceed with tho construction of tho lines already agreed upon as soon as tho necessary materials can be obtained, the Company having agreed to open the tratilo and have cars run ning within biqhteih. months from date of concession. Tho Directo--3 have secured tho services of a gentleman ot large experiencj in the practical ■working of tramways in tho British Islands, and can conlldcntly recommend tho enterprise to their fellow colo-ist-i. in the full conviction that it will prove a good Investment. Applications have been received for Go,ooo shares, leaving 00,000 still to bo taken up. Plans of tho several estates may be seen, and all other Information regarding articles oi asso ciation, etc., may be obtained on application to the Secretiry. at tho company's otlice, Short land-street, Auckland.
