SPORTING.

♦ NOTES BY HIPPONA. Thhouqh tho unpropitiou* state of the weather on Saturday last, the Spring Meet ing of the Auckland Racing Club was not the success it would have been had tho elements been favourable. Despite this drawback, however, there was a pretty good attendance of tho public, and the racing throughout the afternoon was such that there was very little to cavil at. In four out of the six events decided, the favourites were bowled over, and there was general re joicing at the successes of those true sports men, Major George and Colonel Fraser, for it is well-known that when the colours are up on their horses, they are ridden out, apart from any market considerations. The Welcome Stakes introduced nine two-year olds, six of whom were by Musket, and I think it can safely be said the lot would not have disgraced any race course. On account of the form they had shown in private, Martini • Honry's sister, Woodnymph, and Krnpp were but after a great battle in tho straight, thought real "good goods " by their stable, Trenton, ridden by J. Dawson, unex pectedly defeated Krupp by a short head ; the third horse, Revolver, being about a similar distance away. Maoriland and Kenilworth were made warm favourites for tho Spring Handicap, but the former shot his bolt before the field entered tho straight, and Maori, who is as cunning as a sweep promoter, camo away at this point, and won as he liked hard held. Ever since French has had the old rogue in hand it has been his ambition to get a good race out of him, and with Saturday's win to record he can lay claim that ho has succeeded. There was a deal of adverse comment during the afternoon concerning the gentleman who handled the starter's flag, and I don't think even his warmest partisan could say that he was a success. Tho position i 3 certainly a most unthankful ono, but it is only fair, not.only to tho Club itsolf, but to horse owners, backers, and tho public, that a fair amount of satisfaction should bo given by the person who undortakos tho duty, I had hoped to have been ablo to- publish tho weights for tho Auckland Cup and Steeplechase this evening, but owing to dilatoriness on tho part of those concerned, lam unable to do so. When framing tho Summer Mooting programme in future, it perhaps would be as well to definitely state tho date on whicli tho handicap would appear, and thus save a noedless lot of grumbling. The weights for the four principal events of tho Takapuna Jockey Club Spring Medt ing woro issued by Mr Porciral during tho week, but as sportsmen have hardly had timo to get over recent events,their appear ance hay caused no stir. In tho St. Andrew's Handicap, I liko nothing bettor than Mr Lennard's pair and Yuba bill, and if the Wanganui horso Ngata does not see tho post, Chandler should win the Steeple chase and Woodpecker tho Hurdles. How over, it would bo just as well for backers to wait until some of tho stables mako a move. The Cambridgo Jockey Club Spring Meet ing takes placo on Wednesday next, and if Jupiter Pluvius will only smilo on tho gathering, there should be an interesting afternoon's sport. Acceptances for the various events aro not duo until to-night, so that I do not care to venture an opinion at to tho probablo results. At Sylvia Park, this week, Lady Mary dropped a colt foal to Antcros. Tho two-year-old colt Trenton, who won tho Welcome Stakes on Saturday, was bred by Messrs T. and S. Morrin, and got by Musket. His dam, Frailty, is a particularly well-bred maro, and was one of the batch of yearlings brought to Auckland by Mr E. Perkins. Sho was [jot by Goldsborough (a son of Sylvia), out of Flora Mclvor (dam of Zoo), by Rouse's Emigrant (imp.), out of Cornelia, by Grasshopper out of Manto. Trenton's win was altogether unexpected, for most of his Htablo companions beat him in his trials, and so little was his chance thought of for that journoy, that his popular owner, who likog to have a "bit on, failed to win more than a couple of hats, bosides the stake. Tasinan's victory in tho N.Z. Cup Buited tho Southern bookmakers fairly, nono of them boing struck for much During his career, the son of St. Alban's has started in 39 races. Of these lio has won 23, been placed second 9 times, and third twice, whilo only C times has he been unplaced. His total earnings como to about £3,700, so that ho has bcon a very profitable specula tion for his ownor, My i). O'Brien, Tho thrco placed horsos in the Wolcomo Stakes wore trained by J. Chaafe, who took up his rosidenco amongst us about three months ago. No trainer in New Zealand has had moro expevionco than ho hns, for in tho days whon the late Judge Cheeko was .1 shining light on the Australian turf, ho used to train for him ; in fact, tho Judgo's horses ran in his name. lie also trained for other loading turfites over thoro, in cluding Mr A. Town, while during his residence in Maoriland ho lias also been at tho hoad of several of tho best stables. Tho " Canterbury Times," in its leading columns, thus refors to Martini-Henry's victories :—" Everybody will congratulate tho Auckland Stud Company on tho per formance of Martini-Henry — tho one Now Zealand racehorse besides Luylino, who has evor, though somo good ones have tried it, boon sucpossful in Australia ; and whata success I Tho Melbourne Cup and tho Victorian Dorby, both in the fastest timo on record. Tho idea of a Now Zcalandev win ning tho Dorhy scoinod so preposterous that it was aonsidorod nocossavy to inves tigate tho riding of tho jockoy who piloted tho favourite, and tho stewards gravely fount! that though the poor ' jock ' was honest, ho had not judgmout enough to rid« against horsos from New Zealand. This judgment tho hor.se from Now Zealand fully endorsed on Monday, by showing that no jockoy on an Australian crack has judgment enough to copo with him. Router's people say ho simply 'romped' homo, though tho timo was tho fastest on record, The advertisement should bo tho making of tho Auckland Stud Company, whose horse Musket is sure- to becomo fashionable.

Land Nationalisation.

(To the Editov.) Sm,—Your? correspondent who signs him self "Nihilist" must be a candidate for prison dJscipHnp, an escaped inmato of the Whai;, or an onomy of the glorious doctrino, "Land Nationalisation." He advocated "physical force" and a "copious 1150 of dynamite" as b, strongev power than tho ballot box for tho overthrow of abuses. But, sir, I maintain that tho day of bruto foroo is past; reason and justice must bo tho motive powors of tho future, and the dynamitoof "Nihilists"willbe, very justly, only useful in burning tho fingers of madmon who play with it or advoeato its unlawful use. Tho real worker for the common good uses tho pages of 'tho a press—speaks from fcho rbstvuiyi and platform — and "thp wrong that' needs vpaistahco will soon bo buried vi th,o past." Yet, in spitp of falso friends and bittey enemies who, liko Nihilists, seek to stir up a hatred against the advocates of land ro form, I believe Land Nationalisation will soon be a glorious reality. That statesmen and philosophers such as Sir George Groy, Herbert Spencer, apd Henry George, will not only educate the masses, but also con vort every deep-thinking man to the truth contained in the following beautiful quota tion : "Usetheearthforthohappinessofman. Not use man that ho may labour upon the earth only for tho happiness of a fow." And, sir, I think it is clearly the ctuty of tlip press to carefullly guard tho ilitovests of tho State, 'and 'refuse 'correspondence which t^nds to, bring contempt u'ppn rcfovrin, 'or whicli advocates hvuto force merely fov tho overthrow of law and br-dor, tho pillage of proporty, or the confiscation of wealth. And in spite of Nihilists, land nationqlisa' tion will not overtlnwy law find order; it will npt pillage "tho wealthy; it will not confispato'proporty. But it will roach tho pockpts of tfie absentee la,nd-Qwnpv who Stands alooi whilst hardrwovkoro bridge riyors, bliild culverts, and form roads; it will touch with an iron hand tho spp.cula.tor who waits for others to improve s it will overthrow the mania for grasping all of God's fair acres; it will drag out from alley and plague-spot half-starve^ labourers andl ill-clothed chfldfen, and placp tjiem in cornfields and smiling moadows ; it wjil rqpt but class hatred," and enroll all God's children under ono hanner, whoso motto, will ho '< Justice and Progress ;" it \v|ll sweep away ta.jca.tiQn an food, clothing, and industrial pursuits j it will free ports to mammoth enterpriso, and cirolo the earth with a loving girdle of fraternity and uni versal brotherhood,—l am, &c, W.

GARDENERS' HORTICULTURAL SHOW.

The spring show of tho recently-formed Gardeners' Horticultural Society, which is now being hold in tho Drill-shed, is entitled to greater notice and a more liberal patron age than it has yet received. This, how over, is solely attributable to the very slight publicity it had received, and now that the fact of its opening is generally known, a large concourse of visitors may bo expected. In view of tho highly unfavourable weather which has marked thespringsofar, and whose effect must have been to seriously retard the growth and development of flowers and vegetables particularly; it is rather sur prising to find such fine displays in these sections. Indeed, the show generally is one of a most crcditablo character. Although the number of exhibitors of stove and green house plants is rather restricted, tho show they make is very fine. There are some very pretty ferns, a nice collection of the coleus and begonia families, and handsome cinerarias, calceolarias, primu las, and petunias. In fact, all the plants in this section are remarkably well - grown and handsome, and the varieties shown are numerous as well as choice. The show of cut flowers has un doubtedly been seriously impaired by the bad weather that has been experienced of late, and yet, despite this fact, the ex hibits are very good. Some capital blooms of roses are to bo seen, especially a beautiful A. K. Williams, while there are capital collections of ericas, rhodo dendrons and azaleas. Tho pansies have also suffered from tho weather, but make a pretty collection for all that, and the verbenas and tuberous plants will also claim attention. Amongst the extra ex hibits, too, there are some fine specimens of sweet william and dianthus, and an ex cellent group of aquilegas. The bouquets are for the most part noatly arranged and well mado-up. It requires but a slight examination of the Show to see that its main featuro is the display of vegetables. Tor choicenoss of quality and the size, weight, • and appearance of individual specimens, it has never been surpassed here. Messrs D. Mclndoe, Reay, and Vines exhibit splendid collections of cab bages, cauliflowers, and potatoes, among the latter lapstone kidneys predominating, while tho lettuce, cucumbers, carrots, and turnips must be seen in order to be fully appreciated. There are some mammoth beans, 14 inches long in the pod, and tho Hon. E. Mitchelson, M.H.R., shows some black Spanish radish which has never been seen here before. Of the fruit, the loquats and strawberries command the lion's share of attention and praise. There are samples of loquats exhibited by a cottager which for sizo and appearance we have nevor soon equalled, The straw berries, too, are of prodigious dimensions and luscious withal, and there are some remarkably - fine gooseberries. Tho citroni, lemons, and oranges are each good of their kind, while a magnificent bunch of bananas and a couple of pineapples grown by Mr Garner, of Epsom, can hardly fail to provo objects of special interest. In addi tion to the exhibits which compete forprizes thoro are others of a different character, such as attractive collections of seeds from the establishments of Messrs Arthur Yatcs, Tlios. Steadman, C. T. Wren (the latter gentleman also having a collec tion of germinated seeds in pots); a fine show of pottery-ware from Mr Geo. Eoyd's Newton Pottery; capital collections of garden implements and requisites from T. and S. Morrin & Co.'s and E. Porter & Co.'s; Hitchens's Blood Restorer; and specimens of tho plastic art in the shape of plaster of Paris figures fabricated by Mr Paul Pooch, of Parnell. Thoro is also an ingeniously-constructed fountain in the style of a Chinese pagoda, the work of a lad of 10 years named Allen. It is a really clover pieco of workmanship, Tho stowards, Messrs Blaekmorc, Mclndoe, and Gillespio, and tho Secretary, Mr 0. Smallficld, deserve credit for the energy with which thoy have worked, and tho judges, viz., Messrs Shavpc and May (cut flowers) Wren and Allen (pot plants), and Warburton and Webb (vegetables) appear to havo given satisfaction by their awards. The show will remain open till 10 o'clock to-night. Wo subjoin the piize lUt:— OPEN CLASS. ALL'COMKBS. Stove and Greenhou.su Plants.— i Varieties, not loss than two in bloom. Two exhibits.
