Oxley, asked (hat Ibe new committee wou'd give t-'s matter tome consideration. He said lhat, situated _s they were,_ *hey should hare one of the best regattas in the colonies. Ihey might make a fuither st ide in 18S4, and make the regatta of that year superior to any yet held iv the colonies. The prz.s should be made fully 50 per cent, larger than in previous years. He w.s sure they could rai-e enough money to m.ke the Drat prizj for the champion race £100 more. It should be £150, the next prize £1.0, and the prize for the large cu.ter race £60 or £70. If this weie done many an owner whose ves:;el might happen to he on the West Coast or elsewhere would hurry her into our port lo have a spin for tho prizj, which he would consider worth comiing for. Then also they might attract competitors from the Southern potts and Australian colonies. Other members of committee applauded and expressed their coincidence with Mr Oxley's re amies.

Thanks.—Votes ot thanks were accorded to the outgoing committee, and the presid ing chairman, after which the meetiDg adjourned,

BUSH FIRES IN THE WAIKATO.

The Waikato " Times" of y.-stcr day gives the following particular of the bu h fires now prevalent there :— The fire which ha. been burning in (he swamp and b.'sh on Dr. Catey's propeity, near Hamilton, communicated with a furze hedge running close to his resi dence ou Sunday, and thence catching the fern and dry grrss, neatly succceeded ,iv spreading to the house itself. All the shrubs and trees in the ground were more or less burned, but with the active help of some of tho neighbours, the Messrs Gelston and Mr Home ; Dr. Carey suc ceeded in staying the further progress of the flames. The party were hard at work until a late hour on Sunday flight, beat, iug out the fire. Had it aot been for the time.y assistance thus rendered, the house would inevitably have "been des troyed, as the timber, alter the long spell of dry weather, would catch with the greatest of ease. . The damage done to the grounds is considerable, and will t ;ke some time to repair. Some years ago,a similar fire extended to Dr. Carey's orchard, and destroyed numbers of valu able flirt trees. The other fires in the neighbourhood of Hamilton continue to burn; the showers last week only bad the effect of checking them temporaii'y. Nothing could well have been better lor swamp burning than the weather we have been experiencing; hut, unfortunately, a large portion was not iuteuded to be hrcd tills seasoa, and now it wi'l take two or three yeara to lit it for the operation. >

THE MAORIS AND EURO PEAN LAW.

A kecbnt issue of the "Patea Mail" has the following account of how Europeans aggravate the natives, and how occasionally open violeiace is with difficulty prevented: —Another party of Europeans was stuck up bythenativesin the river yesterday, through taking peaches. The warning given the jirevious Sunday, when a similar thing occurred, did not have the effect whicn might have been expected, and the natives were on the look-out for anyone stealing the peaches. A party of five proceeded up the river in the merning and went ashore near the old" weirs, where peach trees are plentiful. They were watched by a Pakeha-Maori. who conveyed word to the others, and, when returning, the boat was stuck up at a narrow part of the river by the natives, who had manned a canoe, and were stripped, ready to go into the river if required, 'The thole-pins were ruthlessly snatched from their places ; one native seated himself in the boat and others held it, The Maoris were very wroth, and expressed their determination of deal ing severely wilh anyone caught taking peaches without peimis-ion. The party bailed up explained that they were igno raut of the peaches being on native land, whereupon the natives laid claim to all the peach trees on the basks of Ihe river, and demanded one pound as utu for wbat the five youD? men in the boat had taken, A native who has recently come from Taupo was very turbulent, and wanted to make negotiations of a more sanguinary nature ; but the others knowing they had tho Europeans in their power, did not use violence. The .pound was not faith coming, a? the party'had not'anticipated its being required, and had put on old clothe", for the excursion. They offered to go [to the railway camp about two miles off to got it, but the Maoris would not let thorn go. Matters were beginning to look serious, when Mr John Koss, of Arundell, who occupies a farm leased from the natives, near to the. pah, came down, andl, being a good inteipreter, acted as amicus curia; between the parties, The chief Tauroa explained the position in a sensible i.peech. He stated that the Maoris had become subject to J-uropean laws, and would be punished under those laws if they were guilty ot a contraven tion of them, therefore they claimed the protection- of those laws. They had al ways extended hospitality to any Euro peans visiting them, and would give them peaches ilt thoy asked for them. They would not, however, allow any pilfering, and he warned Europeans for the future that if they were caught stealing they would be severely dealt with. Iv order to obtain the release of the party, Mr Koss paid a pound for their ransom, although not being acquainted with any of them. He took their word of honour for iepay« ment. The peaches were forfeited, and sold to some other Europeans for two shill ings a bag. One may add that the police, on hearing of the matter, were determined to take action against the young fellow, for

stealing, and would have donTsohTi _, j' I the pound been given cs a com._r2; ' ' X Hitheito the natives have treated?' I going up the river with comtesy, bu ti h * aro not likely to continue so isclin k. «l, Iheir ire is routed in the manner de».;." ' v 'if -"PateaMoil." H/:Jf
