Tho Auckland Amateur Athletic Club held a committee meeting on Wednesday evening, when it was decided, as the club is short of funds, that no athletic contests should be held this autumn so as to como out fresh next spring, when it is to be hoped the subscriptions will be large enough to place the club on a sound financial basis. It cost about £75 to brine off a successful meeting, and, as the club have only £14 in hand and all subscript tions paid up, it would bo'risky to attempt a meeting just yet. Earlythismorning Mr Russell, of Gundry street* Newton, discovered the bedding of his little three-year-old son to be on fire. The bed was teuantlcss and the mystified father speedily extinguished the flames, severely burning his feet while so engaged. Presently the youngster emerged from under the bed quite unscathed. It appears he had been play ing with a box of matches, which, igniting, caused the conflagration, and being no doubt alarmed at the flames, had taken refuge under the bed. It is a fortunate cir cumstance that Mr Kussell discovored the fire within an incipient stage.

ACCLIMATISATION SOCIETY

» _ , . A SPECIAL meeting of the Acclimatisation Society, for the purpose of determining what recommendations should be made to the Governor with respect to the shooting seasons for native and imported game, was held this afternoon iv the Museum build ing. Present:—Mr K. C, Barstow (in the chair), Mr J. C. Firth, and Mr James Kuasell. THE SHOOTING SEASON. The moeting was opened with a desul tory discussion. Mr Kussell said that hitherto ducks had been shot at too young an age, while per sons having licenses for shooting native game did not scruple to shoot pheasants aa well, although April was still part of the close season for them, Under these cir cumstances he did not think the season should commence before May, and he therefore moved to that effect. The Chairman remarked that native quail, although plentiful enough 20 years ago, were now about extinct. He did not think that & single bird could now be got for £10. It was then decided, on Mr Russell's motion, that the season for native and im ported game should commence in May in stead of April, and extend to the end of July. PHEASANTS AND THEIR DECHKABIC.

A discussion then ensued upon pheasants and the causes of their decrease. The Chairman and Mr Firth held the opinion that the birds were decreasing with the diminution of insect life upon which they had lived, while in new districts they were increasing. They and other insectivorous birds had almost completely rid us of the locusts, grasshoppers and caterpillars, which used to be such an awful nuisance. Mr Kussell considered that tho decrease was in part also due to the indiscriminate shooting of the persons who supplied the poulterers' shops. Mr Russell expressed himself in favour of prohibiting the sale of pheasants until a month after the opening of the season. Mr Firth was opposed to this as being an interference with the liberty of the subiect. The working people would, if that were done, complain that they were prevented from buying game until the aristocrats had had a month's start of them. There should be no chus distinction laid down.

The subject then dropped. CHARACTER OF GAME AND LICENSE FEE. It was decided that the imported game, which should be gazetted for shooting pur poses, should be pheasants and Australian and Calforaian quail, and the amount of tbe license fee was fixed at 30«. Mr Kussell and Mr Yates advocated the imposition of a gun tax as a means of counteracting poaching. Mr Firth considered that such a tax would be resented as arbitrary and inquisi- No decision was arrived at, and the meet ing then terminated.

MESSENGER'S APPEAR ANCE IN WELLINGTON.

(BY TELEGRAPH.—OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

WELLINGTON, this day. For some time past, considerable interest has been felt in boating circles at the rotting performances of a man who passed under the name of Carter, in Auckland. People have wondered who Carter was, and where he had rowed before, but no information on these subjects appeared to be forthcoming. All that waa known here was that in com pany with a man named Floyd, be landed in Auckland, from Sydney, and on or about the 26th January, rowed at the Mer cury Bay Regatta, beating White, the well-known sculler, later on he and White arranged a match to be rowed in Auckland, for £100, when Carter was vic torious; and at the Auckland ltcgatta he again rowed against White, and was defeated. He was also one ot the successful crew in a four-oared gig race in the same re gatta. There seemed to be nothing strange in all this at the time, but it now turns out that "Carter" was not Carter at all, but Messenger, the renowned Australian oars man, who had been doing a good thing under an assumed name. It came'ou tin this way:— A day or two ago Mr Taylor, boatboilder of this city, received a telegram stating that MeseoDger was a passenger by the Wanaka tor Wellington, and yesterday Messenger and Floyd landed, the former bringing his boat with him.- A membtr oil the Htar Boating Club, on his own responsibility, gavo Messenger leave to put his boat in the club's shed, which was done. Shortly after wards it struck some of the members of the committee that Messenger was the man who had rowed White under an assumed name, and a meeting of the Committee was held to decide upon what step? should be taken. Floyd, Mesienger'a trainer and companion, was asked by Mr Knapp, the captain, if Messenger had rowed in AucKlaud under the name of Car ter. Floyd admitted that he had done so, and in answer to further queries stated that White was not aware that he was rowing Messenger, nor was the Regatta Committee aware that Messenger was taking part in the events. The Committee then informed Floyd that Messenger's conduct was not reputable, and that unless he could give asatisfactory expla nation of his conduct, he must remove his boatfromthesbedforthwitb. Noexp»nation being given the boat was ordered to be taken away at once, and this was done, Messenger taking his boat to Mr Taylor's shed. The action of the committee is to be , commended, and, no doubt, will meet with general approval. In the face of all the facts to hand there can scarcely be two opinions as to the conduct of Messenger; Tho surroundings of tho affair are decidedly suspicious. Messenger and Floyd had not been more than a momh in New Zea land, the former rowing under an assumed name, when, on the 3rd February, a tele gram was sent by the Press Association from Auckland, stating that " Floyd has received a telegram from Messenger, the Aus tralian oarsman, notifying that he is com ing to New Zealand, and has asked him to arrange for a match with Hearn if pos sible. Messenger has some idea of settling,' and following hi* calling as boat-builder in the colony." This telegram, therefore, refers to the intention of Messenger to come to a place he had actually been in for upwards of a month. Mes senger left Auckland under the name of Carter, was kr nvn as such on board the Wanaka, and his boat was entered on the ship's papers as the property of Carter. It may be mentioned that Hearn tried con clusions with Messenger in Melbourne, and was beaten by him; and that pic viouely to that, Hearn, in a contest with White' of Mrcury Bay, was victorious, bo that it is not likely White would have so readily consented to pull against Messenger had he'known who ho roally was. I understand that Hearn [has ex pressed hi 3 unwillingness to row MesseDger in Wellington, but whether under existing circumstances a match will take place, is a matter which time will have to decide. .
