PONSONBY REGATTA CLUB.

«. There was a good atte-.dance at the meet ug of subscribers hela at the Ponsonby Hotel last evening. Mr X. T. Masefield presided, West End, or Ponsonby.— Some dis cussion took place as to the advisability or otherwise of adheiing to the previous motion altering tho name from, "Ponsonby" to; " West End." Sail. Waymouth supported the Litter. He wished to see the Club es tablished on a broad ban?. Messrs Mor petb, the Chairman, and others, thought otherwise, however, arguing that tbe Pon eonby lieg^tia was an established institu tion, and that a change of name could have no good effect. Tue question was put, when two voted for We-t End and about 12 or 15 for Ponsonby; and the original motion we. 3 therefore allowed to stand. Mr Way. mouth thereupon vacated his Eeat and left the roatu, remarking that " in that case he could give no assistance." OFFICtES AMD CuMMITTKE —The fol lowing were elected:—Patron — His Worship the Mayor; President, Thomas Peacock, £sq; Vice-Presidents, Metsrs Wra, Swansou, Joseph 'Pole, Abraham Koardman, and Captain Harrison; Secretary, Mr I>. i<\ Jivans; Treasurer, Mr W.

SuaGESTHNS.—4. suggestion was made to the committee that greater prominence should be given to the rowiog races than formerly, and it was also recommended that a racelor large yachts be placed on the pro. flrame; that the race for first-class open sailing boats be struck out; and, also, that for open boats under 13ft, unless owners oonld themselves arrange for a sweepstakes • that the dingy race be for bom Me dineies! iis used by trading cutters, * ',

MINING NEWS.

' [From tub "cobomahd ii Mail "] i COBBY.-On Monday (he eng'ne was 1 brought from the Twines w a cutter, a«d forwarded without delay to the mmc * lONA.—The rich character of the goia g ft in the Bhaft induced tho managet> alter the plan ot operat.ons and iiutead of continuing the crosscut to mtcisi ct tue SSsSsSSwS trouble before the cage could be got to work at all Now he i* compelled to sst bJoK the oppose side-f tbe shaft a foot orso for somo distance up to prevent danger of the cage jamming, and to give ample room fo-all"roiniremeutß, as tbe shaft W« M i inched for size aftlifs importa .t snot tba. he oS could hwely be got to paii.along the Guides. The lo Jc on the noith side ot te elaft where tbo gold wm got hn not . LithorKen worked and wi' "ow receive reefs of this mine. The stone is close, tie lodged in the Bink on Saturday. | Access -The wo.k of sinking to moot 1 the rise has proceeded as i apidly as p^sible "&&£. TgX** been showing doriS tbo week in several pub of the S but not in so lage quantities ns 3be desired. At the ,ame Urn, there is show enough to prove that large ana valuable Wools of ground exwt, some of whfck will, in all probability, produce a •"KfiStfttal breaking-down in tfaewhuo in So. 7 level give some good picked Btone and crustung stuff, but owing ,o the strong How of water it was deemed ».tno to sink further. It is, howevor satisfactory t> find the reef carrying gold to the extreme depth of the lowest working. Homewakd Bound -The leading st pc has been carried along 35 feet, and tbo secona slope fairly started. It is believed that the next stopo will cut the run ot gold, very little Laving been seen in the former IILACKMORE.—It is intended to s^.rt crushing next week, when 60 or 80 tons will be forwarded to the batteiy. Home Rule.—Goed crushing stull ha* come to hand from the low level, a fair show of gold having been seen through the 8 TiEKNAN's. -Ibis mine look well in all parts. Homo excellent stone came to hand during the past week. . Cosistock.—The propnetors of this mine expect to be able to brine it to tbo front again before long as a gold Producer. (SUEZ (Carew's lease).—Under new ar sangements the work of sinking wa< re sumed this week, The required depth of 85teetwill probably hi attained in 1 >ur weeks hence. The shareholders believe tint the new ficfd in the lona strikes for the Suez claim, and vil p.obably be found as a parallel nd to tho Just-in-Time reef for which the shaft is being sunk. Jt'ST IK Time,—The ricti R"ld struck >n No 2 reef iv the face of the low level has fully just lied the txpectations farmed of its, value ; the reef continues strong and permanent, showing gooi gold at each breaking down, is continuing its course in settled country and appear? to be going direct toward the crown of the hill, thus giving greater hacks the futtber the level advances. Thursday's breaking down of No. 2 reef past the slide, result d in anoiher haul of nicked stone about 20 to 30 lbs. weight; a little fold stil! fhowing in the face c f the reet looking welt aud still in good settled country. Pol has crossed the first slide and made some good gold, a few pounds of good specimens being obtained. lOKA.—Excellent pr igress has been made in the difficult task of opening up a fresh luvcl from the shaft ar;d though at the time of going topress, the c bad been no breaking down of the new reef thete is every reason to expect good Btone from it. A mipiug survey jut compkteJ fjivc* encouragement tnpnsh the low level abead ns sooa as the shaft i? clear. Unitkd. -Tbe rich leader lo.own to exist at tbo bottom of tbo thafc will probablybe worked from the road level of the Udi^ii I! cacti, nil application to that cfl'eJt haviog been made to th: manager of that com pany.. TOKATEA —This renowned old mine pio mises to come to the front Hgain and to add to tbo trowing prosperity of the place; t top ing operations are now fairly started from tho low level, and on Wednesday evening 70 ib«. of good pickedjstone were obtained with a pood show left in the face. Antwiss and Carroll have taken up a valuable piece of ground to tho west of the Just in Time. O'Brien and Kegan are busy carting mining timber preparatory to making their new shaft,1 Albion Is situated on the crown of the main spur through which the Just-in-Time reef runs, and extends to a point near the Union Beach battery. The advantageous position of tbis ground is shown by tbe fact that it U surrounded by the Union Beach, Just-in-Time, and lona mines. Airanga ment3 are being made to form a company to vrork tbe Albion giound. ■ Mat a wai.— The proprietors expsct to be able to use the battery in another fortnight. TeKATEA.—Mine Manager's Keporr.— No. 7 level.—The inking of wi'-ze in l*o. 7 level was continued up to Saturday last, the water rapidly increasing as the winze deepened. Ihe day preuom I took thrse man to each sbift, and, finding on Saturday that to carry on the -work four would be required, or twelve men in all, and then q uesiionablc from the heavy inflow of water and hard country) whether we could make any headway, I decided on tho score of ex pense; to suspend the sinking for the time being, and report the matter to your Board. The wioze is down abiut fifteen feet below the floor of the No. 7 level, the leader vary ing trom six inches to a foot iv thickness, and showing more or less gold in the stone, with here and there a large dab. The last, few stones showing strong gold taken from the bottom of the winze bas been put in the safe. There is no change in the hanging wall level, fetopes—The leading stopes from the winze are in about sixteen feet from both faces. The one driving; west carries a strong leader from two to three feet tbick. We started breaking down yosterday, and obtained this afternoon 701bs. of gcod picked stone with gold left showing ill tho face. A back stope has also been commenced, which is producing fair crush ing stuff. The stuS going east is not at present looking well, the leader being rither broken, but from appearances will be together in three or four more feet. Tributers.—There is no'hing to report from the tributers; no gold- has been seen since date of last repovt. Knox and McNeil are up about 90 feet from the back of tbe ot&or level—John P. Hall.
