CHAMPION YACHT RACE.

VICTORY OP «UE TANIWHA AT MELBOUBNK,

SHE DEFEATS THE JANET •WITH FIFTEEN MINUTES TO SPARK.

Intelligence was received to-day of the result of the first-class yacht race at Mel bourne, which was won by the Auckland built Taniwha, sUe having defeated the Janet with about a quartet of an hour to spare, We are indebted to Mr J. Marshall for the following account of the race, which appeared in the "Argus," and which should be read with considerable interest by local boating men ani Aucklanders generally:— Yachting for the present reason was brought to a close on Saturday by the deciding race for the 50-guinea cup for the first-class yachts of the V.V.C. Every preparation had been made by the rivals—Mr Turn bull's Taniwha and the Hod. W. J. Clarke's Janet—and the captains of each were more than usually alert to score a win, as the threo preceding contests had resulted in a tie of seven points. The Taniwha had at her helm Captain Press, of the Red Gaunt let, who originally brought the first-named yacht over from New Zealand. His crew numbered nine all told, while the Janet, with eleven hands, was, as usual, sailed by Captain Banner. The morning veaa delightful, with a good breeze from the N.N.W. In the afternoon heavy rains fell, and the wind freshened considerably, with threatening indications of change iv the westward. The course, about 44 miles, was from a line between the end ot the' Breakwater Pier, Williamstown, and the Nelson's southernmost part, proceeding out side the Gellibrand Lightship to the West Channel Pilo light, rounding the same and keeping it en the port hand, returning to finish at the starting line. About a quarter to 10 the moorings wero left, and the yachts immediately commenced manccuvring for the stait. At fives minutes to 10 a.m. the preparatory gun fired, and at 10 the starting gun allowed the Taniwha to cross the line, Janet following Ihree lengths behind. A clear run for the Pile light, both made all sail. The Tani wha's spinnaker is the first run out, the Janet's not following for a little while, owing to the snapping clear off of the goose neck on the boom. The Taniwha has now mainsail, squarobeaded topsail, balloon jib, jib-topsail, and spinnaker, as also a water sail ; and the Janet mainsail, square headed topaail, foresail, jib, jib-topsail, spinnaker, and wateraail, oil of which she carries unchanged, aud without addi tion to near the Pile light. At thirteen minutei past ten the yachts are still abreast, while some commotion is observ able on the Taniwhn; her watersail drags, one of the crew hangs on to the spinnaker boom for his vory life, she jibes, and her ijpraast almost went by the board, Her captain quickly jibed her again, and steered far out eastward of the Janet's course. Seven minutes later, out comes a ringtail on the Taniwha, and not content with this, after a strugglo of some 20 minutes, there appears a raffee, leaving certainly no room for any further additions to her canvas, Nine miles had been traversed at ten minutes to 11, the Taniwha leading, while the Janet kept well to westward, thinking to jet the benefit of the ebb tide across Prince George's bank. Forty minutes latsr on, the Janet, getting the farst of a freshening brseze, began to draw on her rival, who shortly afterwards took in her raffee and put on jib and foresail in lieu of her balloon jib. Coming ou the File light, both still running along the wind, sail is shortened, and aboard came watersaih and spinnakers. They jibe at the Pile light :—Taniwha, 12h. 54m. 1G.% ; Janet, 12b. 58na. 30s. The Taniwha, whose ringtail had disappeared jutt bolore round- ! Ing, started off to eastward on thu port tack, while the Janet made a short leg to starb<urd, but went about on port tact; four minutes after 1. Jib topsails were taken eff both boats. Janet then set a smaller square topsail, and following her example the Taaiwha got out a jibheador. Another t*ck to starboard at half-paat 1 lor tho Janet, the weather looking very black to westward, and round followed the Taniwha. The wind freuhening consider nbly, the Janet-decided to take in her top sail, went about for the purpose, and at 20 minutes to 2 was again on the starboard tack, Taniwha a little to windward. Jinet lowered her topmast, and seemed not to stand np well enough to her work ia the breeze, which about a quarter to 2 blew very hard, both yachts haying now changed on to the port tack, standing towards Point Bickardi. Rain fell, half-an.faour latertbe wind lulled a little, and us tho Taniwha was steadily gaining, the O'anet got up her topmast again and set a jibheader. At 20 minutes pa»t 3 the Janet pnt about, and went on starboard tack, tho Taniwha quickly following! The latter coming od to Point Cook, seemed to be nearly two miles to windward, and had reached consi derably on the Janet. Tho fir.it to go about at the Point Cook buoy was tho Tani wha, followed three minutes later by her opponent, both heading for St. Kilda. At 25 minutes to 6, the Taniwha tacked, and made just to leeward of the lightship. She again went about on the port tack, standing up until she could fetch the winning mark, which she did at 6h. lm, 305., without receiving the usual salute. The Janet in the meanwhile had held on in one long board until fire minutes past 6, when she stood ia for the breakwater, and crossed the line at 6h. 16m. 465., thus giving tho Taniwha the cup by 14m. 455., according to tho official time taken by Mr Eichardson, find allowing 30s for tonnage. It was dark when the race finished, and Captain Bonncr showed his great skill by the manner in which he manoeuvred moorings, where he ac knowledged the victory and able sailing of his opponent, Captain Press, by three ringing cheers from himself and his crew, and then made lor his own anchor- BSe*

SHIPPING CATASTROPHE AT TIMARU.

LOSS OF LIFE,

Farther Particulars,

[BY TKLKaRAPH.-FKESS ASSOCIATION],

TIMAKU, Sunday afternoon. A terbible calamity happened in the har bour to-day. During the night a very heavy sea was running, which moderated about 8 o'clock this morning. It increased aftcrwurds.and at 1 p.m. the ship Beuvenue broke adrift. The crew left in open boats for the City of Perth. The latter rode by a single hawser until 3.45 p.m., when it parted. Both were wrecked within a short distance oE each other. Uefore the City of Perth's hawser parted, all the crew left in four boats. The mate had both his legs broken by the recoil of the cable. Great anxiety was felt for the safety of the boats, as n heavy sea was running, but all got in side tho breakwater safely.

Soon afterwards Captain Mills, harbour matter, with a full boat's crew, went off, accompanied by two other boats, Captain Milk got on board, but soon after the hawser parted, and the throe boats left. On neariug the breakwater, the terrific breaking of the seas swamped one boat, and tho two others turned back to rescue the men, who could be seen standing up in the swamped boat from the shore. Hun> dreds of people witnessed the accident. The excitement was intense The two other boats turned back to the rescue, and one got swamped, The, men were on board when a terrible Bea, white with foam, caught her and swamped her. \v hen the sea passed, those loft "were seen from the shipping. The lifeboat was got out and sent to the rescue, but, after getting some on board, the samo tate overtook her. She was seen to right herself, and was full of men, but appareutly helpless, and a terrible sea was sweeping into tho harbour. The surf-boat, which went to the help of the drowning mon, was in immiuctt danger without being able to do any good. Tho shoio is liuod ■with agonised spoc tators, powerless to help the boats leEt, and the meu are perishing a few hundred yards off.

It is not known how many have perished, as the boats aro still heaving iv the sea, and no help from tho shore is possible. It is feared that all will be luat. It is rapidly (at 5.15 p.m.) getting daik, Tho Benvenuo will be high and dry at low tide. She has nothing on board but ballast, and 500 tons of coal from Port Chalmers. She is insured in the Standard. The City of Perth has 6,000 sacks of wheat ou board, shipped by the New Zealand Grain Agency Company, It is believed ta be insured. Both \ essels lie in Caroline Bay, and the presence of a tug-boat would have ensurod the safety of both vessels, and no lives lost. Later. The life-boat has just come in with Cap tain Mills and Bill Corliss, the Harbour Board coxswain, a brave old Yarmouth boatman. The surf-boat is still out help lcs», and the lifeboat, with a fresh volun teer crew of brave fellows, is just going to her rescue. It is impossible to say how many lives are lost. Conjecture varies from six to twelve. The men in the life-boat woro nearly exhausted, and were carried up to the Koyal Hotel in blankets, amid tho vociferous plaudits of two or three thousand people. It is now ebb tide, and a fearful sea is breaking in the harbour. Intense anxiety is felt for tho surf-boat, as it is almost dark. It has apparently lost all the oars. 6 p.m. Tho life-boat has just relnrned with part of the crew of the surf-boat. A heavy squall struck her, and she capsized, but lost aono of the crew, but had to leave the surf-boat with three or four men still ou I board. A fresh crew has gone off. Cap ; tain Macdonald, of the Citj of Perth, \vaa I hurt in the accident, and is weak. Cap taiu Mills is very much exhausted. The life-boat was grandly bundled the first time by Jack Mclntosh, coxswain, aud George Finlay the second time. It is reported that seven or eight lives are lO3t.

Death of the Harbour Master.

Sanies of Missing Mei\,

Further particulars about the wrecks show that after tue arrival of the life-boat at the wharf, sorce seven or eight men had been picked up, but Captain Mills, the harbour master, died a few minutes after he came on shore. Altogether seven men, including Captain Mills, are accounted for a* missing, but it is almost certain that more men were drowned. The event has quite up set the people at Timaru. The police ' and others are now searching along the beach, in the hope of picking up th« bodiss, The names of the men misting are : — Robert Gardner, mate of the City of Perth ; D. McLean, carpenter of the same vessel; William McLaren, waterman, of Titnaru; Samuel Wilson, boatman, of Timaru j Martin Beach, boatmen, of Timaru; Harry McDonald, boatman, of Timaru ; and Alexander Mills, harbour master. INSURANCES. The- vessels wrecked are Insured as follows:—City of Perth : Standard, Swiss Lloyd's, and National, £500 each; Union, Australian Alliance, and British and Foreign, £2000 each; South Biitish, £1000 : total, £8,500. The vessel, however, according to late intelligence, was still intact, and there was a probability of part of the c»rgo; being saved. Anyway the loss cannot be total. Benvenue: Standard, £600; Union, £250 : total, £850. PREVIOUS SHIPWRECKS AT TIMARU, The casualties enumerated in our tele grams to-day are not by any means singular as connected with Timaru, a long list of wrecks standing against the port in many maratime lists. We quote a few :—ln June 1870, the brig Layard, owned in Melbourne, came to grief there ; and in 1873 the F«iry Queen was also wrecked, while the Auck land schooner Duke of Edinburgh was Drokea up there among the breakers in August of the same year. May, 1875, saw the Princess Alice, an Auckland brig, resting a total wreck at that port, and in 1877 two more casualties occurred, viz., the wteck of the barques Isabella Ridley in April, and the Craig Ellachie bix months later. In Sept., 1878, we heard of the wreck of the ketch Fanny and brig Melrose, while torday comes tho mournful intelli gence of the loss of two fine English ships and several members of their crew. Dxike of SoutJierland Insured for 4 £12,000. The correct insurancs on the Duke of Sutherland is : — Adelaide Co., South British, Union, Standard, United (of Corn wall), South Australian, and Union (of Canien), £1000 each; Colonial, £1500; Commercial, £500; Universal £3000.

THE KORERO TO-DAY.

(BY TELEGRAPH.—OWN CORRESPONDBNT.)

ALEXANDRA, this day.

The korero commenced at 11 o'clock to day, a thousand natives assembling in a circle on tho green. Paul Tuhaerisaid that he rosoto explain his word. At the commencement he wished to say, tben, that they should not mix up the talk about the King with the talk about God,

Hauhauru said that those who spoke abrut religion had nothing eke to say. VVahanui said: The ending of the talk on Saturday was about Mokau, and we shall now commence about Ukurukru, so that everything may be made clear. We all know now what was passed at the time of the sealing of the land, We heard about theso places that were sealed up when they were scaled, and what was uttered then will bo uttered now. 'ihe direction ci affairs was given to one man. '1 his is another ' word; this is a new thing. Let the land bo referred to now, so that it may be talked about. This is the time to talk" about the opening and the leasing of tho lands, so that we may both know that there is a God above us in heaven, and that there is some person looking after these things. This is a time for land, v time for men, and a time for talking. That is what Tawhiao wishes discussed.

Despite Wabanui's injunction to stick to the land question, the talk branched oil into an irregular squabble about old giievances. Karawawa wanted to hear something new. He also .hoped the Ngatiraukawas would bo stopped from selliug the small remaining portion of their land.

Wi Waka said that the commencement of land selling was in the days of their lathers, when they began to ask the Europeans for things. Paora Toka, one of the prisoners who escaped from thu Chatham Islands with To Kooti, said laud was lost through not heeding his advice at Kaugiavvhia to re frain from lighting. Ucwi rose in reply to Karnmea's request for a new word. He said that ho would give him a new ward, viz., as he had lost his land, to settlo at Whatiwhntihoe. At a subse quent stngo ltewi suid ho had nothing to do with the loss ot land by those natives who hud sold to thd pakeha, uud ho did not want to hear anything about thorn. He had not parted with the lands entrusted to him.

Karema said tho new word that tho men were tho land had goao to his heart, und would go Kew Zealand, Through the Kiug movement tho people were all gone, the Chiefs nil gono, and the lands all gone, and pakohas might well say " bloody Maoris," Te Isgakau repeated his statement of Saturday—that he had been concerned in lund transactions, but that his head now hung on hia breast, and ho would sell no more.

An old chief named White, called Te Ngakau, the surveyor general, and said he had surveyed the whole of Tatahi Manakotutahi. This survey should bo stopped so that he might end his. To Ngakau mad no roply. After a long squabble about sticking to the point at issue, To wheoro said if he was to take charge of these matters and lay them before Parliament, the Maoris must atop di»cus«ins> them, He was enly one there, and could not say what would bo the decision, but that tho roads, surveys, and saleß wero entirely in tho natives' own bauds. Ho then challenged Te Wetoro to explain the circumstances, under which he had asked for a Court at Makau. Xhia Te Wetere proceeded to do at great length, to the effect that he had been compelled to apply fora Court to defeat the claims of the Ngatitawa tribe, who laid claim to tho lend.

Tho meeting is still proceeding, but nothing of further interest to Kuropeans is likely to transpire at it,
