CRICKET MATCHES.

Tub cricket season opened on Saturday afternoon, when a number of matches Were played on tho Domain. Tho weather proved to be fine, and large numbers of spectators were present to watch the play. Tho recent heavy rains caused tho various wickets to be very dead, and this fact, coupled with the absence of form shown by many of the players, probably due to the impossibility of getting any practice owing to tho recent bad weather, resulted in some very peculiar scoring. The following were the matches played : —

United v. Otahuhu

This match was played on Saturday, and was won by United by two wickets and twenty runs. N. Porch did the best bowling for Otahuhu, while Dufaur bowled remarkably well for United, taking six wickets at small cost. Scores :— Auckland United. Tostro, b F. Porch 9 Jervis, b V.

As showing the vicissitudes and perils attending "ft life on the ocean wave, Cap tain Eckford, of the Mohaka, informed us this morning (writes the " Marlborough Times " of the 6th inst.) that as he was coming out of Wellington harbour the previous night a cutter made signals of dis tvosß. Captain Eckford steamed up to the vessel, and found she was the Days Bay, 17 days out from Wellington. The Days Bay was bound for the Eest Coast, a two days' journoy; but she had met with a succession of bad weather from the start, and running short of provisions on the 13th day out, the captain determined to run to Wellington. When boarded by tho crow, those on board the cutter wore literally ravenous, the whole of them not having tasted food for three days. Captain Eckford kindly gavo them a loaf ana a lot of cold beef, and to see those poor hungry mariners eat was a treat an epicure might have envied. But the strangest re quest of all was asking for tobacco, a want tho genial commander of the steamboat supplied. There must be some hidden virtue in tobacco when starving men crave for it.

CORRESPONDENCE.

The Shoemakers' Society,

(To tho Editor.)

Sir,—" A Shoemaker" is anxious to get your assistance to keep up the price of shoo leather. This gentleman might at the same time have said a word for the tanner, if no t for the butcher or farmer who produces the hide. This is a Conservative gentleman in deed ! He would put a stumbling-block in the way of young men learning the trade It would be interesting to learn what wo are coming to next. Perhaps a detach ment of Hallelujah lasses might be obtained in order to defend the rights and liberties of men against these mendacious boys Perhaps 1 may be allowed to suggest that sentries should be posted with orders to shoot'any customer who prefers a cheap useful boot to a high-priced fancy article mado by a " journeyman." If the trade does not suit you, sir, take the advice of a fool, and also a "journey" into the country wherebootsarescarce, andletthe "wretched'1 public have a turn for a change. Boot factories are dangerous hotbeds of Com munism, sir, and should not be tolerated" The conscience of a "journeyman "must be "wretched" indeed if ho is unhappy be cause a boy can do the work of a man Possibly it would be an advantage to tho hide producer, sir, if the women get tho sack also. Take it easy, my friend ; every thing will work smooth presently.—Yours Richard Maksu!

Auckland Shoemakers.

(To the Editor.) Sib,—l beg your indulgence for a small spacein your paper whilo I reply to tho letter of " A Shoemaker "in your issue of Friday evening. I waited for Saturday's issue to boo if anyone elso took the matter up; no one doing so, I have taken upon myself the task, seeing there are facts un stated by "A Shoemaker" which tho public are entitled to know. In tho first place, he states that " tho wages of shoe makers here are no better than jn the Old Country, and in some branches very much lower." Well, all I will say to this is, if he is a tradesman who makes that statement, he ought to be ashamed of himself, for if he is worth Ms salt his position here is vai-tly superior to what it would be at Home—considerably shorter hours, and largely-increased re muneration. Ouly the other day I wag speaking to one who had been employed at Home, and he told me that 8d or 10d a pair would have been a good price for what he was now getting Is for. I pass to his re marks about the employment of appren tices, and It is to this question I would draw his particular attention. He charges employers with having ''too many " apprentices. I will show you blt that in nine cases out of ten the journey men are to blame for this state of things if It actually exists at all. The fact is, Auck land shoemakers, as a rule, think a vast deal too much of themselves; and if an employer offers them work that they think is not exactly suited to their abilities, they just tell him " they are not going to do it" and " they would rather walk about first." It is really difficult to find a man who his served his time to the trade who will make, say bluchers, boys' or youths' nailed work, or children's boots, and the result is simply this, that manufacturers, finding they hare got to produce these classes of work as well as men's and women's best, and that their mtin won't make them, are obliged to em ploy boys who will. The issue of this ta apparent to any thinking mind, viz., the boys who have been called in to do what the men would not will eventually be employed to do what the men would like to have the chance of doing. lam not speaking, sir through inexperience, for I am daily brought face to face with every phase of this ques tion through the position I hold, and sometimes it is presented to me in very painful aspects. I will pass his comparisons of the various firms by expressing a wish that he had employed names, so that they might have been able to defend themselves against his attacks. In conclusion, I would submit one or two resolutions for their, consideration at the next meeting of the Union. (I)' Seeing that Auckland productions have such a bad name down South, and in order to raise the quality of our work, that it may compare favourably with either the South or Home, and thus indirectly ensure against a possible reduction in wages, it is in< *»bent on every member of this Union that ac turn out his work in the very best manner possible. (2) In order to remove the neces sity of employing so many apprentices, we hereby pledge ourselves to take our share. of children's and other work that appren tices have been accustomed to do. Another thing they might safety discuss is the tend e,ncy there is on the part of tradesmen to begin manufacturing, thereby inducing un due competition, which, while it puts nothing into tho public pocket, only en-, riches the retailer (who is always ready for a good bargain), and tho manufacturer finds himself eventually compelled to reduce tho cost of production. Apologising for tres passing so much on your space,—l am, &0.,

Parnell and the Tram Company.

(To the Editor.) Sib,—lt has lately been rumoured hero, In ■ I the Borough of Parnell, and much talked of, that the Tram Company people, obstacles being invented, have thrown us | all overboard. It is said to be because o£ -: severe interfering restrictions impossd on them by our Council. This current report has proved agitating. I wish to say n word to it, More than more local interest attaches to this particular affair a :' principle of very general applicability : soeiuß to bo grossly violated by the action*; in the matter of our Council Board, Council has really prescribed and im posed several trade restrictions, some 1 of which ore so extremely objectionable that the Company indignantly revolted at ■': the entire proposal, altogether gave up ' Parnell ai impracticable, and finally m resolved to go elsewhere. I must think our local Council in this thing exceeded their functions. To prescribe details of trade-* parcels or no parcels, passengers or no pas seigere, and any of our times for running or else no times, Preposterous! Ofoourse, they may and should narrowly watch the I high road and the roads of which they are 5 elected guardians. So far good. As to occupancy of the road—" right you are;" . f and, perhaps, might even demand a royalty %m in consideration of inevitable monopoly, But to upset intelligent, honest men trying , to do an honourable trade, whloh most ; ■; admit would be a large benefit, is assuredly t quite out of the right way, and the coursei'l; must be immediately altered.—l am Ac.,1
