RACING STATISTICS.

[ISY TELEGRAPH."-OWN CORRESPONDENT.]

Dunedin, this day. " Pkoasus " furnishes the "Star" with his annual racing statistics. During the past season 230 meetings were held, which is the same as the previous year, but there is an increase of £7,000 in added money, due, no doubt, to the beneficial influence of the totalisator. Auckland has fallen off to the extent of eleven meetings, but has in creased £750 in stakes. Canterbury shows an increase of two meetings, and £1,800 in slakes, Otago is again highest in point of meetings, and shows an increase of £1,400 in added money. Wellington has fewer meetings by two, but the money has increased by £700. Hawke's Bay, mainly through the decease of the Hawke's Bay Racing ('lull, has lost a meeting or two, and shows but the barest addition to its added money. Taranaki has nearly doubled its last year's figures in both respects, while Nelson gained by two meetings and £1)00 in money. Westland shows an increase of two meetings and £300 in stakes, while .Marlborough is about stationary. The Grand National Steeplechase lias fallen oil' by £200 from last season, when, how ever, an unusual amount of money was given by it, owing to the meeting being held during Exhibition time. Most clubs show £107 increase on the money given during the previous season by Canter bury, Dunedin, and Auckland Clubs especially. On the other hand, Waikato, which gave £600 last year, ceased to exist, as also has Hawke's Bay Racing Club, which gave £868. Invercargill, Grey mouth, Wellington, Dargaville, Waverley, and Waerengahika each shew a small de crease, and Timaru is £400 behindhand.

Half the money given during the season was taken by small winners. Pilbrow, whose name appears on the list of winners for the first time, has reached the top of the tree at one bound. This great success is due in the main to the deeds of Welcome i Jack, the champion of the season, but the cross-country horses, Clarence and Canard, gave natural assistance in swelling Pil brow _ total. Of Canard's winnings, only £300 has boon set down to Pilbrow, that being the amount won at Auckland by Canard, who was hired from Lunn for that meeting alone. The second place is taken by W. Walters, whose late father headed ! tho list for the previous season. J. H. Pollock, of Wanganui, bought an interest in some of Waltors's horses, and I have therefore bracketted their names together in connection with winners of all horses owned by either. Thoy had no less than eight winners, of whom Larry and Hippo damia brought most grist to the mill. Mason and Vallance have jumped from sixteenth on tho roll to third. At the com mencement of the season they had a team which threatened to sweep nearly all before them, but ono after another they broke down or went amiss, and it is rather surprising under the circumstances to rind so substan tial a sum opposite their names. Turquoise lasted long enough to win £700, Btlndoora to seenro his one victory, and Siesta came back to her old form at the b;lck end of the season, Robinson and Lance aro always well up, and this time they are no exception to the rule, though they had little luck at the Canterbury Spring Meeting, Oudeis and Cheviot are their largest winners, Bate occupies exactly the same position as last year, but his winnings amount to nearly 50 per cent more, thanks mainly to The Poet and .Minerva. D. O'Brien's good place is en tirely owing to Tasman's numerous victories, his only other winner being Bateman (£SO). Mr]'. Martin's principal winner was Mis chief, and D. I'roudfoot had nothing but Sir .Modred to represent him and gain him his good position. Several other owners wero similarly situated, Mr Horsfall's money being all earned by King Quail, Captain Russell's by Leonora (all but £55), and Mr Kirby's by Adamant (except £77). The Hon. Mr McLean is lower in order than last year, but Lady Emmaand Gitana won almost as much as his previous total. Mr Smith had half-a-dozen winners, of whom Rubina nnd Tim Wh_tier were the best. Mr Keith had a similar number of winners, with Buzzard as the biggest prize-taker. Of Mr Lunn's share nearly £000 was secured by Canard, and of Mr Preeth's £350 was won by Orient. For Mr Dillon, Hercules and Nikau won most money, and for the Maori owner (Ruhana), The Laird and Never Miss proved most successful. Mr Crocker, for whom St. Clair won some good races, is higher up than usual ; while Mr Lennard generally gets a place among the good win ners, and this year Chandler was the princi pal instrument in securing it for him. Mr Sounness has to thank Water Nymph for his situation, and Mr Butler, who is usually high up, but has now only managed to squeeze in, owes more than half his winnings to his good old servant Luna. The principal names which have dis appeared from last year's list are those of Mr Horsford, who unfortunately retired from active racing, Mr H. Westmacott, Mr H. Goodman, and Mr A. McLean, who have nothing good to serve them just now ; and Mr J. Smith, who died about the end of the previous year. Winnings of Horses and Owners. J. Pilbrow is credited with £3,416; Walters and Pollock, £2,55S ; Mason and Vallance, £2,400 ; Robinson te Lance, £1,705; G. Bate, £1,501; D. O'Brien, £1,556; P. Martin, £1,320 ; D.

Dillon, £629; Ru hana, £626 ; J. Crocker, £615 ; J. Lennard, £615 ; AY. Sounness, £546 ; F. Butler, £501. Total, £26,236. Tho principal winners were:—Welcome Jack, won £2,651; Tasman, £1,506 ; Sir Modred, £1,070 ; King Quail, £1,056 ; Mis chief, £970 ; Leonora, £905 ; Canard, £873 ; Adamant, £845; Turquoise, £760; The Poet, £715 ; Oudeis, £684; Lady Emma, £570 ; Bundoora, £505 ; Minerva, £551 ; Siesta, £520 ; Larry, £520; Clarence, £510; Hippodamia, £505; Water Nymph, £4SI ; Cheviot, £467; Tim Whiffler, £464; Gitana, £443 ; Normanby, £440 ; St. Clair, £430; Dan, £41S ; Woodpecker, £403 ; Albion, £400; Rubina, £354; Fish woman, £375 ; Souvenir, £375 ; Luckpenny, £305 ; Orient, £350 ; Milo, £330; Wild Boy, £330; Kosciusco, £305 ; Chandler, £296 ; Buzzard, £295; Leos, £285 ; Luna, £271; Romeo, £271 ; Famo, £270; The Laird, £270; Mystery, £251 ; Harkaway, £250; Merlin, £241.

In calculating the winnings to bo credited ' to the different sires, there is always somo ' difficulty in arriving at tho exact amount, owing to the slovenly manner in which * most of the colonial newspapers report race ! meetings, such important information as ' the breeding of winning horses being, as a ' rule, not given. The result-, is that when ' the doings of the season come to be summed j up, many stallions do not get the full ' honour duo to them. Tho following 1 figures must therefore be taken with due ' allowance for this fact :—Traducer ' holds his usual position away at ' the head of the list. Nineteen • horses in tho list got by him won £8,326, : and a number of small winnors won £700 between them. The Australian sire * Yattcndon is' second with £2,416, which is a little more than he won last season. Albany again holds third place, but his £2,369 is a bit above his previous figure. ' Day Dawn's numerous winners returned ' him £2,043, but there are doubtless many ' more of his stock who have won that I have not been able to identify. Anteros is well • up with £1,853, representing four winners ; i Totara, with £1,760, due to the successes ' of ten prize-takers; St. Albans, with ] £1,753, doubled his previous year's figures, nearly all of the amount being ' again due to Tasman's victories. Ravensworth has fallen from second place * to eighth, with £1,740 ; but the remark re- ■ garcling Day Dawn applies with equal force ' to him. Leolinuss stock evidently * improve with age, five of them bringing ■ him in tho round sum of £ 1,350. Deadshot's ** three winners have secured for him £1,181. ' The two Australian sires—Tubal Cain and 1 Painter—run a close race, with seven ] winners each, but Tubal Cain's stock won ' £1,069 against Painter's £1,044. Pacific ' and Papapa come next, with £708 and £765 1 respectively ; while Tim WhitHer (S), with j £584 ; The Peer, with £555 ; Hippocampus; with £540 ; and Oliver Cromwell, ' with £530, are all close together. J It will be noted that of the 18 sires men- ■ tioncd, only about half-a-dozen are now' ' alive. Greatest among the deceased is J Traducer, the Emperor of New Zealand stallions, whose, stock during the last 1 seven seasons alone won the large sum of s £02,500. j

" Good morning, Mr Brown ; you're first at last; you used to be behind before, but I notico you have been early of late." The condition of trade in Canada is most unsatisfactory, and a financial crisis is feared owing to extravagant outlay in rail way construction,

Wellington City Council to Lose £8,000,

[BY TEIiKa-UPH.—I_ESS ASSOOUTIOST.]

Wellington, Wednesday. A srEciAL mooting of the City Council was hold to-day to consider the complications which have arisen in reference to McGrath's reclamation contract. McGrath some months back went bankrupt, and the Council de cided to take action against the sureties for the amount of their bond, £5,000. The sureties were Messrs Roberts and Mc- Naughton, of Canterbury. Under the con tract the Corporation are required, in the event of the contractor's bankruptcy, to give a written notico which of the two specified courses they elect to adopt. On Mc- Grath's becoming insolvent, notice was duly drafted by the City Solicitor and copied by the City Treasurer. It turns out, however, that before it was transmitted to the contractor one of its paragraphs was altered so as to give it a general instead of a specific application. The consequence was that the notice failed to comply with the re quirements of the contract, and the con tractor's sureties have set up as their de fence that the notice such contract requires was not given to McGrath, and they there fore dispute all liability. It is feared, too that this alleged flaw in proceeding may also invalidate the Corporation's claims to the plant, etc. If this view is sustained, the result threatens to be a loss to the city of some £8,000. The alterations in the notico wore made in the handwriting of the Mayor, and the City Solicitor, in a letter to the Council, states that the action pending against the sureties and also the Council's claim for cement^ plant, &C, are jeopardised by the altera tions in the language of the notice. In reply to the Solicitor, the Mayor wrote that the alterations were made by direc tion of the Council at a meet ing in May last, and against his advice. Councillors denied that the altera tion had been made with their consent, and it was ultimately decided to obtain the opinion of the Attorney-General and other barristers as to whether the notice sent was sufficient, and whether the Council had a claim against the sureties. Dr. New man moved, and it was carried, "That it is the opinion of this Committee that the Mayor did alter the notice after the passing of a resolution on the 29th of May." The question is exciting considerable interest.

The C. D. Act Discussion.

(To the Editor.) Sik, — The opinion of " Resurgam" and his noble friend Colonel Hozier, whoever those two worthies may be, does not count for much beside the mighty mass of evidence we have against the Act from the highest \ medical and other authorities. What did eight hundred (800) medical men say. "We, the undersigned physicians, sur geons, and general practitioners of medi cine in the United Kingdom, after due consideration, hereby record our solemn protest on religious, moral, social, and sanitary grounds, against the application j of the Contagious Diseases Acts to the women of this country. We consider the measure fraught with a large amount of fl mischief, and calculated to do no good." 9 What did two hundred (200) medical men in Birmingham, Nottingham, Dudley, - and Scarborough testify ? "We consider H that such a harsh, unconstitutional,. un-English, and unjust measure is less to bo defended on the ground of expediency I and necessity at the present time than 77 during any former period of our history." While Charles Bell Taylor, M.D., F.R.0.5.," late President of the Parisian Medical , ; Society, says: "The truth is, that 77 such despotic measures are utterly 7 useless so far as the repression of disease is concerned, and what has been already stealthily legalised in England and Ireland [and now in Auckland], has been 7 against the judgment of some of the first . \ physicians and surgeons in the world, and is confronted with disclosures from abroad, which exhibit that efforts at police control i not only fail to stamp out disease, bufoieed M evils so monstrous and horrible that ow 7 i own ills aro not to be named with them," Could language more strongly condemn &<_' ■ system we are invited to place confidence in. ■:.'.. and support at a cost" of £500 or £600 a- ' year? "Resurgam" may rest assured 71 that the CD. Acu will neither protect" 1 men in leading positions nor "their un fortunate wives," The only right and only possible way to certainly avoid the evil consequence is to avoid tho I evil Act. No good can ever come of such an unjust and immoral measure as the CD, I Act.—l am, &c, R. H. Huqhes. • ■■■

DAMP WALLS IN BRICK BUILDINGS.

(To the Editor!)

Sib,—From timo to time complaints have . been made respecting the manner in which brick walls absorb damp in this climate, and pass that damp into the interior of the .*•,; building. These complaints have been so often reiterated that it has come to be looked 7 on as inevitable that nine and fourteen-inch '*.;, walls should fail to keep out moisture; and i the builders of those walls take good care notto counteract this popular delusion which . llft_ so much blame from their shoulders, I would ask any of your readers whO have had any experience of the climata of England, to ask themselves if we ever ex perience anything like the fogs and damp , M that prevail in tnat country. Take London, for instance, where I have known a reeking fog, saturating everything with moisture. like rain, brood over tho town for four weeks at a stretch ; and where I have seen six weeks continuous rain with scarcely any cessation. Yet I have known even four and a half inoh walls keep quito dry there, and as to nine inch and fourteen inch walls, they are consideted to be absolutely weather ; H proof. There must therefore be some other reason for the prevalence of damp _ wall here, aud that reason, I opine, is in the 77 bricks and the workmanship. With regard 7 to tho bricks, I am happy_ to say that the quality is rapidly improving of 'late ye-«»'.; |1i Jl'' ' the best classes of bricks comingfromtne .: • country kilns, for the town kilns baW ; hitherto turned out mere rubbish untu very lately. I believe this is due tow V * quality of the clay, for the country bricks.: *- are hard, compact, and homogeneous, while the town bricks aro mis-shapen,'soft, and full of cracks and flaws, which lot in moisture and press it through into the interior of tho buildings. With regard to tho workmanship, I consider that it is chiew <J responsible for the inordinate number 01 damp walls in Auckland. The workmen have got into an incurable habit of sticking the bricks together with a tiny dab of mortar on the outer edge, just enough to*, enable them to smooth the outside ana m' • side joints, leaving the rest of the wall ary and mortarless. To be sure, most walls are, specified to be grouted evory course (gi°"'' ' ing means filling up all the join ts!■»■. liquid mortar worked backwards and for wards till all vaeanc.es arc filled up), but the grouting is now usually scamped, i-e-> the mortar is put on without water, ana smoothed over on top, leaving the wall a delusion and a sham as far ns strength aro weather-resisting qualities are concerned Now, are the workmen solely to blams for the scamping of the bedding ana m grouting of the bricks has been so long un- ; checked that it has come to be consider f the normal condition of things with tne builders here; so that if an honest won*.- ■ mOn took tfme to do his work well am honestly, he would be most probably sac"" in a few days as not worth his w»S»' Hence the men hurry on as much as posa* ble, on the principle of &{_Z moi le deluge," so as to pief" their employer, and earn a ''eP^r" for smartness at the expense.of tho »"f laL they erect. There is but one ™mtyJ_,' this state of things at present, an. dt°% the* employment of clerks of works on «j important buildings, who will see, as iw one man can see, that the bnckworK »■ || properly laid.
