ANNIVERSARY DAY.

tfo-MOBROW r/jil be tho forty - second aniiiversai'y of the foundation of the colony, but the day possesses further Importance to Ancklanders from the fact that it ia also tiia anniversary of this province* I'cw holidays find more general celebration hero than the 20th of January. Thb weather id almost invariably settled at this period of the year, afad admirably suited for out-floor nmiisbraent|i ■ JEkcUKSiuNSAND PICNICS.

Numerous excursions and picnics will take place on Monday next, should the -weather prove favourable. The steamer Victoria has been chartered lor a.trip to Waihcko, taking pnssengers at two shil lings each, childreu being half-price. Tea will be provided on board free of charge, but passengers must take their own eatables; The Lalla Rookh is announced to mako an excursion troni Oilehunga to Cornwallis and North and South.Manakau Hcadsj leavingthe wharf at 9 a.m, It is announced that the proceeds of the trip will be devoted to the Onelitlnga Public Library Fund, A train will leave the Auckland Railway Station at 10.15, a.niii conveying the builders and con tractors, with their families and friends to Hunua, whore they intend to hqUl Iheir annual picnic. The Anne Milbduk is announced to make an excursion in the harbour during Monday after noon; affording passengers a splendid opportunity of witnessing tho Kegatta rases for an expenditure of one shilling. The annual plctio f in connection ,-wi.tlj the PoßsonbyWesleyaa .ChurchJakeaplaco at Tamaki, the Bteamer leaving the.vhaif at !) a.in,, while tbo" teachers of Sr, James's Sunday-school wilf hold theirs at Brick Bay. A train which leaves Auckland station at 9.30 a.m. is announced to convey the teachers ot Wellealey-strcet Baptist School to Henderson's Mill, whero a picnic will be held. The Hobson Company's picnic is also advertised to take place at East Tamaki on Monday. JBELKNSVJLLE RACES.

The annual races at Hclensvillc will take place on Monday noxt. We gave a list of entries and acceptances iv our last evening's issue, A special train has been lain on, and it will leave Auckland station at noon, calliug at Newmarket and Mount Eden, THE ANNIVERSARY REGATTA. The Regatta has usually been tbo groat feature of Anniversary Day, and its occurrence has been looked forward to with great interest, many boats being specially built and crews trained for it. This year) howevor, people have scarcely known whether a Regatta was to bo held at all, and the indifference was rcitccted in tho meagre entries last night* The ex planation is easy to find. Nothing has been done to encourage, and everything to discourage interest in tho affair, Tho advertisement announcing that a regatta was to be held (only appeared in out columns once, and that this week, when it was impossible for builders to prepare t or people in the country to sec it. Informa tion of any kind could not be obtained, and inquiries - were met with in difference or studied discourtesy. Publicity was apparently tho last, instead of the first thing desired. The preparations stand in marked contrast to those years w.hcn Mr J, Marshall acted as secretary, and by his untiring exertions and unvarying courtesy interested the press and boat-owners in the coming con tests, animated by a determination that a good raco should be obtained for every shilling of the public money. The result of the narrow policy adopted this year is that, with the exception of those directly interested, the majority of the public aro just as wise with reference to Monday's Regatta as of the one which may be held a year henco. The committee, moreover, is abort of funds, and why? Simply for the reasons already stated. It our tradesmen atad other gentlemen, who are tho mainstay aud support of all such festival", sen that the preparations are carried out in other than a judicious manner, and that tbo affair is in any way likely to lose public interest thereby, they will cither refrain from sub scribing altogether, or greatly reduce th eir usual donations. The committee met at the Thames Hotel last evening, Mr D. 11. McKenzio presid ing, for the purpose of receiving entries for the Regatta, and the result goes to show,to the same end as our previous remarks, that the usual interest is not evidenced by our boating men and the public at large. The sailing races, especially, have few competi tors, compared with previous occasions, many evonts having just enough boats to prevent the race falling through, How ever, even at this late stage it would, be well for the committee to bestir itself and make tbo beat of an unfortunate affair, The following is a complete list of the entries banded in, accompanied by the names oi their owners and our nsual " tips " :— Champion Trading Rack, for brigan tines, schooner?, ketches,' and scows, 50 tons, register unrl upward?. Entries and positions : 1, Gisborne (Skinner), 68 tons; 2, Sybil (Sinclair), 150 tons'; 3, Tranlit (Hooper), 79 tons; Torea (Grundy), 78 tons. Here we have three well-known fast vessels

and a new schooner, of which we have little experience. All fonr are in best trim, and a close race may bo anticipated. The Sybil has been recently stripped, caulked, anl coppered, and generally speaking is at her test. The Transit has just come cut of dock, and looks as likely as ever to come oil victorious, Captain Hooper's ability as. a sailor is well known, and coupled with the fact that his vessel has been furnished with new canvas and that no expense has been spared in other particu lars she will prove a formidable antagon ist Jhe Torea comes fresh from Lyttel ton as champion of the schooner race, and ib well known aa an old opponent of the Transit. However, she has never yet done anything remarkable here, and her present performance will bo looked for ward to with interest. Tao Gisboroe has been turned into a topsail schooner by the addition of a " raffcy," and will assist to make a good race. The finish we antici pate as follows :— Transit 1 Sybil ... ■ ... 2 Torea 3 Trading Ccttkks, 25 tons register and Upwards. Entries aud positions:—l, Koso (Felly), 25 tons ; 2, Paku (Diaz), 33 tons; 3, Rangatira (Tenctahi), 27 tons. Without comment we will place the result :— Bangatira... 1 Rose 2 Trading Vessels (excluding cutters) 25 tons and upwards. Entries and positions : —1, Lizette (Jonee, senior), 39 tons; 2, Zillah (Jones, junior), 86 tons; 3, Mary Hogan (J. Brown), 29 tons; 4, Cygnet, (Brown), 47 tons. The Cygnet has every appearance of a very fast schooner and has already shown some good work. She may be considered safe for first place if the water is smooth with a moderate breeze, while should there be any rough work to do outside the harbour the Lizette will probably have a show. The Mary Hogan is a smart little schooner, and has done well in former regattas with much larpcr vessels. She has never yet. had such a square race, and will be found close up. As the weathei promises to be light, we will place the boats :- Cygnet 1 Mary Hogan 2 Lizatte 3 SCOW RACE.—Entries and positions : 1, Pnkapuka (Morgan); 2, Olive (A. Young); 3. Lady of the Lake. There will probably be several post entries for this event, including the Makarau and what is ■aid to be a very fast Dew barge from Harper, of Pakiri, daily expected. Without fresh entrieß the race will result ;— Fnkapnka 1 Olive 2 TitADING Vessels, any rig under 25 tons, which have not been built for yachts : Entries and positions:—l, Mahurangi (Subritzky) 21 tons ; 2, Henry (Robinson) 15 tons; 3, Euphemia (Knox), 12 tons. The-previous performances of the Henry are well known, and need no comment. The Euphemia has been up on Mr Gouk's slip for some time past, and, should she be handled well, will give the Henry a good race. To look at the two cutters laid up, the Euphemia certainly -shows the best sailing ability, and on this occasion we will look for the finish:— Euphemia 1 Henry ... 2 YACHTS, 6 tons and upwards.—Entries and positions :1, Toroa (Bell); 2, JKita (Sandford); 3, Winona (Morrison); 4, Eclipse (Aley). We have already spoken of these vessels at some length. If the weather is fine, aod no accidunt occurs, the Rita will most likely prove an easy winner, but if any rough work has to ba done, Bell will certaiuly give the Toroa a good , chow:— «§ Rita ... ... 1 . Toroa ... 2 Winona ... ... ... ... 3

Open Sailing Boats (First Class).— Entries and positions : 1, Kiwi (J. Conley); i 2, Magic (T. Hunt) j 3, Sis (Btassey and Townshdnd)' 4, Shilthp (Gr.eti). The Shrimp and Magic, as usual, are goitis to have a liard light for tHo event.

WHALfcBOAT EACe.-One creW from 1 Ponsonby, and another tr6m Kussell, have | entered. The latter is the favourite. •

Roy Roy Canoes,-Entries: J. C. Shaw, W. Laker, J. King, A. A. Yate?, and W. Cooper. FOUE-OAEKb ALt-COMKIiS GtG RACE.— Ponsonby and North Snore enter crews. The latter are all notable rowing men, but having but little practice together, Pon sonby may be expected to first pass the winning-post. Dingy Hack.— Entries: E, Bailey. A. Jones, M. Maginnis, C. Hewson, and W. McLennan. Probaole result l - Hcwson 1 Junior Gig Rack.—Ponsonby and North Shore each furnish crews. Ihe re sult is doubtful, both boats being well manned and considered very even. Sciilleks' Race (bona fide amateurs).— Entries : Yates (Tauranga), U. D. Morpeth (Fonsonby). We rather fancy Morpeth for this event.

Sculleps' RACE (open to all comers)— Carter and Albert White came forward in this race and few will be found to back tho latter after bis recent performances.

TIMARU, this day.

A child 2i years of age, ton of Mr Davis, draper, of Geraldine, was diowucd in the Waihi river yesterday. John H, Healey, an old resident, was remanded until February 3rd, on two charges of forging two promissory notes. At an inquest to-day on the man who fell downstairs at Geraldine on the 14tb, and injured his spine so that he died on the 26tb, a verdict of "Accidental Death " was returned.

TAWHIAO'S MOVEMENTS.

MEETING AT REWITI,

Ah important meeting of the Kingites and Kaipara natives was held at Rewiti yester diy; indeed, at it tue main object of Tawhiao's visit was discussed. There was a large attendance, and great interest ap peared to be taken in tho proceedings.' Wabanui spoke first. He compared the Europeans to a large ship and the Kingite movement to a totara canoe, aud asked the natives in which vessel would thoy em bark. Paul, Otene, Hcnaro Bawhiti, Nopera, Te Kecno, and other natives of note followed, the Raipara natives pointing out that it would bo safer to take passage in the big ship, as, if a storm arose tho small canoe would be swamped. Tawhiao, in his speech, spoke with feel ing of the kindness he had received at Auck land, and expressed himself as endeavour ing to have the Europeans and natives strung on one piece of flax like a bundle of fish—uniting the races. RETURN TO AUCKLAND. Tawhiao and party returned to Auckland from the Kaipara this morning, and after breakfast at the Governor Browne, they visited several commercial establishments about town, Pulman'n photographic gallery amongst others, where the King and some ">f the principal chiefs sat for their portrait. The weather was favourable, and splendid likenesses were obtained. This afternoon Tawhiao and company, with Mr Sheehan and some other gentle men, paid a visit to the Hon. Mr Whitaker's beautiful suburban residence at Lake Takapuna, During the day Tawhiao s wife visited the workshop of Mr Greenshields, and was pre sented with a handsome orn c silk garter bear ing the following inscription:—" KiaPare hauraki, Haere Mai, 1882." Tawhiao will also be decorated with the N.Z. order of the brace, which reads thus:-" Kia Tawhiao, 1882. NauMaiKiAkarand.

A correspondent writing in reference to a letter which appeared in last even ing's issue recounting the lending of a paper to a gentleman to another in the Public Library that the latter did not bolt with the paper. On the con trary, he tried hard to restore it to the owner, for he inquired of our correspon dent and several other persons near him. He evidently must have forgotten the face and appearance of hia courteous lender (not a very unlikely thing amongst thirty or fotty straDgers who are constantly moving about),
