Coming up the straight a sloshing race between Paramena and Jack ensued, both horsemen using the whips. Passing the Stand the animals were neck and neck, bnt inst at that moment Williams made a magnificent effort and shot Mr Bobbett's game old horse half-n-leogth ahead, by which distance he won the race.

Second Day.

.The attendance at the races to-day is much tmaller than on Saturday. The rain last night made the course somewhat heavy and this was rather distressing to the horses, rspecially in the Steeplechase, His Excel lency Sir Wm. Jervois again patronised the meeting by his presence. On the course, when the first race was run, rain was falling heavily, and the prospect seemed of the dreariest description, Thefol. lowing ls a description of the events decided ap to the hour of going to press :—

THAMES, this day. KURUHUI Hill.—The crushing was very good. A total of 81 tons was treated, yielding 24ozs Sdwts retorted gold. The best dirt came from the Wheel of Fortune lode, at the 80ft level, 47 tons yieding 20ozs.

In the Deep Level Cross the winze on the cross reef at No. 4 level is now fully manned. The reef has Bplit, bat both portions will be deep in tho winze as long at possible at the 640 feet level. Tbe country in tbe south cross-cut is tighter and not so white as formerly.

THE JENNIE LEE COM PANY.

Miss Jennie Lee and Company arrived from the South by the s.s. Te Anau this afternoon, and in accordance wi h previous announcement, will open in Abbott's t'pora House to-morrow evening. She is strongly supported, and there is every prospect that she will have a most success!ol aenson, In adapting Dickens's novel, "Bleak House," and making one of the many subordinate characters of the novel the central figure of a pathetic and well-constructed drama, Mr J, Burnett has successfully accomplished a most difficult part, whereby he bas furnished Miss Jennie Lre with a part which might have been created e»p:cially for her. The incidents of the novel made use of in the play are those principally dealing with the results ot Lady Dedlock's unfortunate love affair. '1 he first act commences with the inquest on the body of the m>in who died from narcotic poison, the lover of Lady Dedlock in her early days. One of the witnesses is tho poor ragged outcast, "Jo," to whom the supposed suicide had been vory kind. "For he was very good to me, he was." Ihe second act brings us to the home of the Dedlocke, when Mr Tulkinghorn informs Lady Dedlock of the death of the unknown. Mr Tulkinghorn's curiosity aud suspicion have been aroused by the emotion displayed by Lady Dedlock on recognising the hand writing of the dead man on the affidavit seen by her in possess-iou of the lawyer, and following up this, he endeavours to dis cover the relations that had existed between the deceased and the wife ot his noble client. In this act the author introduces Chesncy Wold, the residence of the Dedlocks, the sombre legend of the Ghost's Walk, and an important figure in the drams, the Freuch maid Hortense, Tulkinghorn informs Lady Dedlock of the fate of her lover and of hia suspicions concerning their relations to each other. Lady Dedlock visits the scenes where lived and died the wretched man, and is guided by Jo, the boy who was examined at the inquest. The other characters in. troduced in this act are Guppy, Ksther, Snagsby, and Mis Rouncewell. In the second act Tulkinghorn has completed his discoveries, and employs Backet, the de tective, to "chevy on" the boy Jo, who has been sharp enough !o discover that the woman he showed those places to, and who called herself a servant, was in reality something far above the class she repre sented herself as belonging to. The French girl, Hortense, in this act murders Tulkinghorn out of revenge,-and tries to throw suspicion on Lady Dedlock, who, in dread of Tulkinghorn's threatened dis closure to Sir Leicester of her past history, has fled from her home, The career of Jo is followed on in the last act—his misery, friendlessncss, illnesi, and death, which brings the play to an appropriate termina tion.

Part IV. of " Picturesque New Zealand" is issued to-day, just in time for despatch by the San Francisco mail to-morrow. There is yet another addition made to the bulk,of reading matter in this part, and in addition to two coloured lithographs there are four very good wood engravings. That of Go vernment House, Auckland, comes in very opportunely in connection with the Go vernor's visit, uther new features are agricultural and dramatic notes, aud a page or more ot a running commentary on colonial events, under the heading of " Quiz." We are informed that the sale of this part is showing an increase on previous issues, attesting to the increasing popu larity of the worn:. Repeated complaints have been made of a most abominable stench which aii«es from the cargo of animal manure now being dis charged from the brigantine Linda Weber, which was' to-day anchored to westward of the Queen-street wharf, Bhe has bpen' moved already several time?, and should certainly be moved once more, it has • been suggested to the Tamaki, or somewhere thereabout. At present it is most unpleasant to walk on tlie wharf or along the Beach Road, owing to the most powerful and objectionable odour which is carried from this vessel by the [■lightest puff of wind. No delay Bhould lie experienced in removing such a nuisance, Which is situated clote to a thickly-' populated neighbourhood. ;" ;' . A friendly rifle match between picked teams (15 men each) of the Victoria and Wairoa Rifles took place at Wairoa South on Saturday afternoon, and after a sharp and exciting contest was won by the Vic torias by 24 points, the aggregate being, Vie, toria Co., 916; Weiroa Co, 892.

. ..i»m ;;v? A i fecial meeting of the shareholders of the above company took place this alter noon in the ollice, Insurance; Buildings, Mr Thos, Peacock (Chairman of Directors) presiding. Six others were present. Tho following report was submitted :—" In pre senting the annual report, your directors regret that the operations of tho company .have not been of a more successful character. These have been confined to the upper levels, nothing haviug been done below the eighty feet level. In the early part of the year, encouraging prospects wero obtained in the Junction Section of tbe mine, one of the crushings from which yielded 1,1730zi. of melted gold; uufortunately the quartz did uot continue for any length of time. A con siderable part of the expenditure for the year has taken place in the Albion cross cut, which has now been extended for a distance of 595 feet. None of the leaders cut have as jet proved payable, but two of these converging to a point in au untried area of giound have been followed to where tbe Duke's Pearco's, aud Wheel of Fortune leaders should be found. Aa the country in this neighbourhood is of a pro mising character, for gold, your directors are in hopes that good prfispects will be met here. The mine manager's report," attached, will give more detailed parti, culars. Messrs T. Peacock and L, D. Nathan retire by rotation, whose offices bave to bo filled, the former being eligible, offers himself for re election. It also devolves upon the meeting to elect an auditor for tho ensuing year." The mine manager's report gave tho follow ing as the results of the year's operations • " 1019 tons of quartz have been taken out on the Company's behalf, which yielded 1,7450z5. sdwts. gold, value £4,398 16s 4d; foi the Tributers 475 tons were crushed at the compauy's mill, for the yield of 25500Z3. sdwts., the peicentugo ot which amounted to £1,406 5s IOd; the percentage received for crushing, £231 3s; ditto reut, £8 12sGd; ditto sundry sources, £4; to balances owing by tiibutors, £13 2s {'tail ings, £73 7s 4d : total, £0135 7s. From the balance-sheet it appears tbat ihe bank over draft, had been reduced from £608 2s 4d in Feb., 1882, to £124 6b 6d in February last.- The chairman moved the adoption of the rcpoit and balance-sheet, and, in doing so, explained tbe works that were in progress, besides speaking hopefully of the prospects of the m'ne. lt was considered very probab'e. he said, that good gold would be found in the Wheel of Fortune ground.— The motion was seconded and carried.— Mr Peacock was re-elected a director, and Mr J. M. Lennox was olected to the vacancy caused by the retirement of Mr L. D, Nathan while Mr John Way mouth was re-appointed auditor, a vote of thanks was passed to tho Chair and tho meetiog dissolved.

EXCESSIVE WATER RATES.

(To tho Editor.)

Sir,—You have correctly interpreted tho drift of ray remaiks In the Council on the above subject, and as you invito me " to press this matter to.an i?sue," Ido not shrink from asking for space to enable me to slate the facts concerning it. Confining n.yselt to the audited priuted accounts from />pril, 1883, I fiud as follows : At the end of the bait year, commencing with that month, there was an accrued . urplus of in come over expenditure in regard to tho con sumers' rates of £1,745 16s 6d, being some £320 more than the cost of supplying (he water for six months. Tho income for that half year, as alio for the succeeding half, was some 50 per cent, in excess of the expenditure ; while for the noxt half it was double, -within £17 ; for the next, ending March, 1882, it was more than double; and for the half-year ending last September the surplus balance was £1,320. lhe total Burplus.es, therefore, to last Sep tember, were apparently £6,797. In September, 1881, £2,504 was transfeired to " general account," and £1,382 I9s lid, the tniplus of the half-year, to "consolidated loans, rates, and interest account." In March, 1882, the surplus of that half year, viz, £1,590, was also transferred to "consolidated loans, rates, and in terest account." The total amount trans ferred is, therefore, £5477, and there stood at the credit of the account in

September, £1320, which makes the afore said total surplus to tbat date of 6797. You, and ihe ratepayers, can now judgo Whether I ha?e been conect in saying that they have been, and are now, paying water consumers' rates largely in excess of what they ought to have been asked to pay. Now, its to the legality of levying these ex cessive rates, and carrying the surplus to the "general account," or to any other than ihe special-rath; for loan account, when that is insufficient to pay the interest and charges against the loan. The Municipal - Corporations Bill had a sub-section , giving Councils power to transfer surplus'water "rates to "The General Account." On its pa«sage through Parliament, that Bub-section was finally struck out. 1 hero is not a word of it in the Act as passed, nor any word anywhere else that gives such a power, an far as I can dis cover. The Legislature then bad the ques tion specially before it, aud it showed, in the most marked manner, tbat it would not confer on Municipal Councils the dangerous power of levying. excessive water rates beyond what was required, and thea transferring, .the -surplus to the "General Account." To do so is therefore clearly illegal. The Council should have been better advised. The Act is very clear in its directions how the special and consumers' rates are to be applied, and the CouMF must act in accordance with law in this as in other matters. The above is briefly my case. If lam proved to be incorrect I shall unhesitatingly acknowledge any incorrectness. My ob ject ln troubling myself about the matter is to do #Bat Ican.jp prevent, these excessive rates'being'any" longer imposed- tfri1 the ratepayers, and also to prevent a mischiev ous and illegal dealing witli the accounts of the Council,. .Permit me to add, that in a published Tetter thirteen months ago, I condemned the system of transferring amounts from [the s watpr {ate. tp any other account. . My' language was" rather em phatic, vi?„ "Establishsuch a system,and you open a vpry wide door for a very com plete manipulation and mystification of the publicOaccounts,",.. ;A '.'door". which rMew [York and other places teach us we had !bitter not open. In another letter I will take the risk of saying what reductions I believe can be at once made in the water I consumers' rate,—l am, &c, A. Boardman.
