SUNDAY Schools. —The Scriptural teach ing of many parents is well supplemented in not a few of our Sunday Schools, wo ;ire thankful to acknowledge ; but these schools require to bo greatly increased in number throughout the diocese, and many of them are capable of much improvement. The results of the last annual examination of our schools was highly unsatisfactory ; only six schools throughout the diocose supplying candidates towhom any considerable number of marks was awarded by the examiners, and some of our largest town parishes sup plying no candidates at all. The schools that most distinguished themselves on that occasion were those of All Saints', Pon sonby, Holy Trinity, Devonport, Holy Trinity, Otahuhu, St. Murk's, Rcmucra, and Avondalo. As I have said on former occasions, wo greatly need a Diocesan In spector of Schools to assist the clergy and thoso who work with them* in this most important part of their duty. Part of the necessary stipend for such a Diocesan officer may, I think, soon be provided, if his office can be held ill conjunction with the proposed ofiico of Organising Secretary of the Homo Mission Society. Home Mission Society;— This Society has been established since the last session of tho Synod, chiefly through the energy and zeal of the Rev. John Hasolden ; its purpose being to increase tho interest of our people generally in the spiritual condition of the poorer parts of tho Diocese, and to collect funds to enable tho Church to provide tho ministrations of clergymen to all • her people. AH who can do so may justly bo expected to join this Society. Many members of the Synod have for years past taken an active . Interest in our Homo Mission work ; but it was thought that by associating together our people so interested, more life might bo given to tho Mission. To it lam looking at present for assistance, to enable me to send clergy to several neglected parts of tho Diocese, especially to the extensive districts of Mahurangi, ll'ulcnsvillo, and;Mangonui, in nono of which is any clergyman of tho Church often Been. Lav Keaukks.— In nearly all tho settle ments of these districts we have excellent lay readers, I am thankful to stato, doing their duty with regularity and efficiency. In other districts, licenses "have been issued by mo since our last meeting to Mr James Jackson, of Taupiri, Mr Horatio Phillips, of Shortland, Captain Gascoigne, of Alexandra, and Mr John Hutehinson, of Kihikihi. During the past year Mr K. 0. Boler and Mr K. Hermon, late scholars of St. John's Collogo, have rendered very valuable help to the clergy in the districts south of Auck land. Besides tho lay readers who aro licensed to minister to specified congregations and in stated districts, it would be a very greatholp to tho work of the dioccso, in the poorer districts within easy reach of Auckland, if wo had a special stall' of readers who would bo prepared, periodically and on emergencies, to spend tho wholo or part of Sunday in a country district whon asked to do so by tho Bishop or his commissary. Auckland Gaol.—l desire again to re cord my senso of tho excellent work done by Messrs i\ G. Ewington and P. Larkins in ths Auckland Gaol, where they havo conducted divino service regularly on Sun days, whon no clergyman was present, very much to the satisfaction, and I believo to tho benefit, of the prisoners. In connection with this labour ot love, Messrs Ewington and Larkins havo also carriad on, during a fourth year, quietly and judiciously, the good work of which I informed tho Synod in my last address, namely, tho aiding of discharged male prisoners in their endeavours to enter on a new life of honesty and industry. The pecuniary cost —a littlo moro than £15—at which this truly Christian work has been accomplished is no measure of tho time and attention that have been bestowed no generously up- ' on it; and those who havo thus giveu their personal services, as well as their money, to the work, aro assuredly deserving of the gratitude of the community. We hope to be able to ox tend our help in future to fomalo discharged prisoners also; but our ability to do so will depend on the funds placed at tho disposal of the Society. I will venture to ask the members of the Synod and other churchmen interes ted in this work to send to me, or to our Secretary, Mr Ewington, tho sum of ,£2."i, to defray tho expenses of tho current year. Any member of the Synod who wishes to see our detailed report will be able t& obtain it for perusal from tho Secretaries of the Synod. Sailors' Rest.—Mr Ewington has also given me much help in the establishment of the Sailors' Kent, by moans of which same of our Auckland citizens, not exclusively members of our Church, hare been enabled to provide- social and intellectual occupa tion, and spiritual help, to seamen visiting our port; and to rescue not a few inex perienced youths, under no control of parents or other friends, from ways of vice and ruin. \V*o havo been fortunate in having as our principal agent in this Christian work a missionary of experience among seamen, namely, Mr Henry E. Foil, formerly of tho Seamen's Mission at Liver pool. On behalf of the managors of tho Rest, and of tho largo number of sailors who havo derived benefit within its walls, 1 desiro to roturn cordial thanks to all tho kiml friends, especially tho ladies, who havo giren us their aid, in entertaining, in structing, mid otherwise helping thoso for whoso good tho Rest was established. Tiik Hospital ho.'i been regularly visited by Archdeacons Maunsoll and Dudley ; also by Messrs Kensington and Morris, and othor laymon. Tiik Lunatic Asylum continues to be visited by tho Rev. J. Hasolden. Sr. Stkphkn's Orphan Home. — Tho numbor of children in tho Home at present is 57, namely, 40 boys and 17 girls, all in good health, under tho judicious and motherly caro of tho matron, Mrs Noary, and tho eflieiont teaching of Mrs Scarlett. Tho behaviour of tho children is described as oxcollont. Nkw Churches.—l have tho pleasuro of roporting that suitablo and handsomo churchos havo been oroctcd by our pooplo at Hautapu, Whangavoa, Katikati, Aratapu, and Lako Takapuna during the past yoar. Pension Fuse—Tho Synod will be grati fied to learn that the capital of our Diocosan Ponsion Fund now amounts to £7,017 14s lid. The Maoris. —Owing to my absence from tho dioceso in tho early part of the year—first to attend tho Church Missionary Board nt Najiior, and afterwards to attend tho General Synod at tho same place, and to my visitation of tho archdeaconry of Taranaki, I hnro not beon ablo this year to pay my usual visit to the Northern districts of tho diocose. Tho Native Church Board of tho archdeaconry of Waimato held its annual meeting in March at Hokianga, under tho presidency of Archdeacon Clarke. Thero were seven Maori clergymon prosont, and tho proceed ings of tno Board wore praatioal and well conducted. It is purposed to hold a General Church Board, representing all the native congregations of tho diocese, nt Paihia, in tho Bay of Islands, in March, 18S4. lam happy to inform the Synod that in future the Maoris of the Waikato and Ohinemuri districts will also have tho advantage of the experienced oversight of Archdeacon Clarke. The Synod will bo interested to know that there aro now minis tering to tho Maori population of the dioceso thirteen clergy and 156 catochist of tho native race; and thatour Maori churches numbor 41, built almost ontiroly at the co«t of tho congregations worshipping in thorn. It is to bo Tiopod that in tho courso of a few years, with tho disappearance of all ill fooling between tho Maoris inhabiting the country between tho Waikato and Taranaki and their European fellow-subjects, a satis factory report may bo presented to tho Synod of the Church's work in that ox tensive district. In reference to thoso native tribes chiefly, tho following resolu tion was passed by tho General Synod in April last: —"The Synod calls upon the members of tho Church throughout tho ecclesiastical province to make special elforts for tho recovery to the faith of thoso portions of tho Maori Church which, since tho war, havo lapsed into indiflbronco or false religion." St. Stephens' Native School. — Our Maori school continues to prosper under tho painstaking and efficient teaching of tho master, Mr Davies. Thero aro at St. Stephen's at present 42 scholars and 3 ap prentices. Tho Government Inspector, in his roport of tho school, dated March 31, 1883, says that ho "found it to be, as it always is, in satisfactory ordor. Nearly every pupil examined passed, and passed well. Many of the older boys showed that thoy possessed knowledge far beyond the requirements of the standards. _ All tho work dono is very thorough, and it is almost impossible toiind weak places in it." During the year tho scholars have received religious instruction from Archdeacon Maun.soll, the Revs. R, Burrows, and T. F. King, and tho late B. Y. Ashwell, in addition to tho regular teaching of tho clergyman of the parish. A Sunday-school continues to bo conducted at St. Stephen's by Mr W. C. Konsington. Mklanesian Mission. - Our last letters from Norfolk Island, the head-quarters of the Melanesian Mission, are dated Septem ber 22nd. Bishop Selwyn had, a few days before, left St. Barnabas Colloge for the Florida group.of Islands, inS. }at, Sdegs.,

where large numbers uf converts aro asking for instruction and baptism ; tho Rev. A. Penny having already baptised 120 adults there in tho early part of the year. It was the intention of the .Bishop to visit Santa Cruz and tho Reef Islands be a fora (he return of tho Mission vessel to Auckland in the month of December next. The work of the Mission is reported to be progressing hopefully in almost all the island.'! visited by our missionaries. DIOCEBA2I Kutukxs.— I desire to direct the attention of the clergy and other Church officers to Resolution No. xiii. (G. S. Report, page 118), of tho General Synod, which asks for returns to be laid before the Synod at each triennial meeting, in which as full particulars ns possible should be sup plied" for each yearof the preceding triennial' period, under the heads given in the said resolution. I shall be much obliged if tho archdeacons will collect, at the end of each year, and tabulate, the required statistics for their several divisions of the diocese. The Repokt of tub Stanmnci Commit tee will now bo laid upon the table, con taining a summary of the proceedings of tho Committee during tho last twelve months, together with a list of the business to be brought before the Synod. May God of liis bountiful goodness keep us from all actions that might prove hurtful to His Church; and grant that now, and at all times, wo may cheerfully accomplish, for His honour and glory, those things He would have us do.—Amkn.

ORCHESTRAL SOCIETY'S CONCERT.

In announcing their intention to give a series of monthly popular concerts the Orchestral Society may be said to be actu ated by a most laudable ambition. For we must understand by this departure from the hitherto somewhat exclusive character of their performances that tho object they have in view is the cultivation of a taste, amongst all classes of the community, for music of a high standard. And, in good truth, something of the kind is needed. Classical music is notoriously Just 80 much '' caviare to the general," whose tastes — vitiated by over-indulgence in musical trash—can no more appreciate the beauties of Beethoven or Mendelssohn than a man can detect a bouquet in claret after a steady course of colonial beer. Wherefore, if we are right in our surmises ay to the Society's object, it is no light task that they have under taken, and to be successful will involve a great deal of patience and adroit manipula tion of their programmes. As to tho performance of tlieseleetionsthey present to us from time to time during the promised serici of concerts, if Thursdaynight'smaybe taken as a sample of the rest, but little will be loft to ba desired. In a programme embracing thirtcon numbers, no loss than seven were orchestral, a fact which at once indicates that tho Society are prepared to accept their full share of the work. These numbers included selections from the works of Haydn, Mozart, and Mendelssohn, and were played In a manner which quite fully maintained the high reputation already achieved by the Society. Perhaps the most successful effort of the entire orchestra was their execution of the overture to "La Dame Blanche," by Boildieu, a French composer of the good old school as distinguished from those "sparkling" Gallic writers of modern times. This was most satisfactory from beginning to end. In the overture to " Figaro," the performance of which is a severe tax upon tho "staying" powers of an orchestra, we fancied the trombones were a little too demonstrative (verb. sap. I. A string quartette by Haydn for first and second violins, viola, and 'cello, played by Messrs C. and J. Heinus, Clough, and Edgcr respectively, was perhaps tho most enjoyable item of the evening, because it is so very seldom that you can got four such men to play such music to you. Mr A. 11. Stuart sang a good song by Roeckel, and sang it well. This gentleman is improving fast. Careful study and unromitting prac tice is bearing fruit. Taking the vocal numbers in order on the programme, Miss Culpan save us "The Wood Nymph's Call, and elicited pro longed applause, necessitating a re-appear ance to bow her acknowledgments. Miss Staunton's selection was an ambitious one for her first appearance in tho Choral Hall nt those concerts, but not too much so, though at times the orchestral accompani ment called upon her to tax her vocal powers a little severely, wo thought. Nevertheless, she sang the aria "Per Clio Me Dioa Ancora " well, and was awarded the honour of a unanimous recall. Haydn's charming little song, " My Mother Bids Me Bind My Hair," suited Mrs Judson's voice admirably, and the string quintette accompaniment made a most effective setting to tho gem. Mr Knox we thought much more happy in his selec tion on this occasion, and from tho capital manner in which he sang it, manifestly he thought ko too. The Society and thoir indefatigablo con ductor, Horr Carl Schmitt, are to bo com plimontcd upon this the first of their sories of popular concorts. That their efforts woro appreciated, a large and sympathetic audionco abundantly testified. A capital notion was that of providing annotated pro grammes, giving a brief sketch of some of tho groat masters with whose music we wero to bo regaled, Theso concorts are to bo hold the iii'st Thursday in each month.

BICYCLING AND TRICYCLING.

(By Actacon.) Tub opening run of tho season 18834 was hold on Saturday aftornooa. Although there were but somo forty 'cyclists at tho rendozrous — tho Qroy-stroct Junction — tho number swellod to 19 boforo a very groat dlalanco had boon travorsod. Tho course was down Queen-street from tho starting point, thenno by Custom-house-streot Wost to Pon sonby, along Ponsonby and Karangahape-road through Epsom, Kennicrn, and back through Nowmarkot and Parncll t* tho point of starting at tho flroboll. At Ponsonby tho 'oyclistshaltofi, and had their photographs taken by Messrs Hcrnus and llnnno. Thero woro scroral spills, but tho run altogether was a most enjoyable one. No doubt the rapid strides this manly and in* vigorating pastime has mado among our young fellows will bo notod by all who saw tho pro cosslon of 'cyclists on Saturday, hoadod by tho two clubs in their noat uniforms, and all moving along so silently and swiftly on their steeds of steel. Now that a second club lias boon formed, it is to be hoped that a healthy and friendly rivalry (consistent with good fellowship) will Qxist, and prompt each Individual meinbor to uso his utmost endeavours to obtain converts to nnd promote tho interosts of our grand sport second to none. To thoso who havo a desiro to becomo bicyclists, but don't exactly know how to make a start, or feel doubtful of their ability to do so, I would say a word or two. If you havo half a mind to so in for it, do so. Don't spoil a good mind, Scok out any member of oithor of the clubs, and you will gladly bo given any possiblo assistance. Don't bo afraid that you can't rido a bicycle, What ono man has loarned to do, anothor can. A fortnight is sufllcient for any man to learn. Screw your courage up to Iho sticking point, and you will bo surprised how easy it is, and tho delights of the wheel onco known, you will-nevor abandon it. To be able to jump on your machine nnd take a run into tho country is surely preferable to walking aimlessly about town. One lias sufficient of town in the course of business, and requires a change, both of air and scene. Besides tho opportunities for early morning or ovonhig runs round about our delightful suburbs, thoro is Saturday aftornoon, and who has not at least that half clay? on which you can pro inilos out of town and return invigorated both in body and mir.d, Muohmoro could bo said, but must ho reserved for another occasion. The present season will probably soo a tricvclo club formed, and numbering, as it doubtless will, ladios among its members, will tend to romovc much of the absurd proiudice which exists against tho votaries of the whool. Tricycling In England is now almost generally indulged in by ladies, nnd ns a menus of exercise combined with pleasure, is highly recommonded by tho medical faculty— not only rccoimuondod but indulgod in by many doctors, who appreciate a steed which requires no grooming and is always ready for a shift, thus saving muoh valuablo time. Tho clergy too, in England, now make great uso of tricycles, tho convenience of which, and benoflt derived therefrom, is attested by tho scores of testi monials sent to manufacturers of tricycles by clergymen. Tho absurd idea thatitisdorogatory for a lady or olderly gentleman to rido a tricycle has long siuco exploded, as well it may whon lliny aro used by tho Royalty of England, Gormany, Austria, Morocco, Siara, Egypt, Brazil, Portugal, and laßt but not least tho King of tho Sandwich Islands. Quantum svj/iett. At tlio Crystal Palaco London, on June 30th, Thompson rodo a quarter of a mile from a mark hi 40 3-oths sees., thus beating the previous best (by Dr. Cortis). Tho samo rider afterwards succeeded in riding a half-milo in 1 mm. 19 4-sths sees., ni;ain beating best records. On July 21st, on tho same track, yet another record was mado by 11. W. Gnskell, who rode 1 miles in 11 mm. 314-Slhs aces., or 13 sees, faster than Dr. Cortis's time, which, up to this, was rocord. Tho 09 miles road race, hold in Melbourne on tho Ist ult., was contested by 18 bioyclists, and won by J. P. Jenkins (who had only possessed a bicyclo six months) in 3 hrs. SO mins. llis Honor Mr Justice Williams, President of tho Australian Cyclists' Union, and President of tho Melbourne Ulcycle Club, ridos a bicycle, and can hold his own against most members of his club too. Presiding at tho anmial dinner of tho M.8.C., His Honor said :-" It (cycling) is a thoroughly noblo and manly pastime nnd sport; it ongenders many virtues and qualities no other sport do in an equal dogroc. This sport do mands in tho highest degree resolution, endur ance pluck, coolness, and promptness of de cision, and last but not least, temperate and sober lives." Two of thoPrinoo of Walos's soub aro bicyclists. When is a bicyclo like apon sioner ? Whon it is ro-tlred.

There is such a thing as downright bad luck, and some people seem to oe con tinually entangled in it. If they fall back ward, says the old saw, they are sure to break their noses.

THE KAWHIA OUTRAGE.

The Difficulty Settled and tho Beacons Kc-Eroetod. [by teleoraph.— prk.ss association.] Wellington, Sunday, The Government steamer Ilincmoa, which left hero a week ago for Kawhia, returned ' ■ yesterday afternoon at four o'clock. The' "; Hinemoa arrivedat Kawhialast Wednesday when the disembarking of the 110 Armed Constabulary, who are to form the post at Kawhia, was commenced. Tins lasted a very short time, and a fortnight's provisions having been placed ashore, the constabu lary at once took steps to erect a camp on a knoll about four or five chains distance from the Kawhia harbour, and on a spot which commands the whole of tho neigh bouring country. The constabulary are, as a whole, under tho command of Major Tuke, the respective companies having Can tains Morrison and Taylor at their head The whole of the afternoon of arrival was taken up in landing tho necessary stores This was effected without the slightest delay or .difficulty. Tawhiao being an prised of the visit of tho Ilinemoa with tho Hon. Mr Bryco on board, at once came to Kawhia, and had an interview with the. Minister. Tawhiao did not, it is under-' stood, deny that tho beacons had beea destroyed by his instructions, but on tho '"' other hand admitted that ho was quite conversant with what was being done, and (jave as his reason for not '■■'. interfering that ho was unaware for wbat N•" reason tho marks were erected. The buoys also, on being taken up by Captain Fair child for cleaning, were found to have been tampered with, and in one ease a deliberate attempt had been ~> ■' made to sink one of the buoy.?, it havinir been cut about v»ith an axe, an indent tion to tho extent of half an inch being : made. Tawhiao says that he stopped the '-.' buoys from being sunk, and that he was to blame for any destruction. • Mr Bryoe, it is understood, told Tawhiao that when the Government undertook action of this kind -- ; and the natives were of opinion thatthey had a grievance, they should communicate with the Government, and in all cases their claims would receive due attention at the hands of the Government. Tawhiao subsequently to this interview dined on board the Hine moa with Mr Bryce. On the Thursday the re. erection of the beacons was proceeded with but as a rumour was current that 500 nativei were ready to oppose this course, Captain Fairchild was allotted a guard of 20 Armed Constabulary. Fortunately, however, there was no obstruction, and the beacons have again been erected. Mr Bryce returned by the Hinemoa. everything being in perfect order when he loft. The Hinemoa left Kawhia at dead low water on Friday, and '•%. although there was an exceptionally low ,'■ tide, 18 feet of wator was found. The Hinemoa, it is expected, will visit Kawhia agaia shortly.

PEDESTRIAN CONTEST.

The Now Zealand Man Victorious. [BY TEIiEGRAMI. —PRESS ASSOCIATION.] Duitedin, Sunday. The 24 hours walking match, Scott r. :■'■] Edwards, closed at 10 o'clock last night, 11 in tho presence of about 3,000 people. After' "if starting on Friday night, Edwarda main; tamed a slight lead till 5 o'clock on Satur- v> day morning, when he put on the pace, with the Tiew of tiring Scott out, but the latter .!J responded most gamely, and at seven a.m, had actually got a lead of two miles, v Edwards, from that time till noon, frc- jl quently left tho track for several minuteß ' at a time, whilst Scott, at noon, had been '! off only six minutes altogether, and the | scores then were : Scott 71 miles, Edwarda 03 miles and 15 laps. At three p.m. the. „'■.. scotes stood : Scott 79 miles 9 laps, Edwarda ; 70 miles 8 laps. There wero only shortretire- i inents afterwards, principally by Edwards, S At eight p.m. Scott was leading by six miles n and Edwards's chance of winning was of course gone, but he walked the timeout, " scoring 104 miles G laps, while Scott did exactly 111 miles, the latter having been off tho track altogether about two hours. In || the terras of the challenge, Austen was to name a man to compete with Edwards in a forty-eight hours match, at the end of v tills week, and it is understood ho will name '•■■!'■ ■■; Scott. The performance of Scott, who isa , ■ stripling of about 20 years of ago, is <?jn sidered remarkably good, as, had heple^Sd^ lie could have dono 120 miles. ■ ' ' ' -■

CORRESPONDENCE.

■ ■■ ■ ■ <» ■" Road Eetal. (To the Editor.) Sir, —Having copied the plans and specifi :V cations of Wellington-street and contracts V No. 1 and No. 2; Ponsonby Road, lean g state that the quantity of metal required ■ J, for those streets is ten thousand and thirty- H two yards. Thero were but three tenders ' I for contract No. 2, owing to tho difficulty B in tho first place of getting breakers, and in the next of finding tho stono that will break. The City Council men havo taken , '[ up the only place where metal can bo had, I and tho contractors are told to go I out by tho Rifle Kango and look \ for etone, where nothing can bo got excopt surface boulders. I made ap plication to Mr Tole for permission to open I a quarry, and pay any reasonable sum re- :\ quired. The answor received was that legal steps would bo at onco taken if there .should be a load taken from any place in the mountain, oxcept where pointed out for. the City Council! When the metal was I broken by machinery, the cost for quarrying, spawling, and feeding the I machino, averaged by tender from 2s I 2d to 2s Cd a yard. At present the B Council pay 4s Cd, so that in the above throe contracts, had it been broken by tha machino, there would be a saving of 2s a ' , ■'~ yard, or in other words £1,000. If this amount could be .saved in thred contracts, as I havo proved, it will give an idea of what can be saved before the loan is spent. Why not advertise for machinery} and thesuccessfultendorertobothe'iianthatwill turn out the greatest number of yards, and sell at the lowest rate to tho Council and their contractors, and sell to other public" bodies at what he can get; let the contract bo in force for 3or 5 years, so that the outlays can be recouped, and then tho competition will be keen. Should this bo done, thou sands of pounds' can bo saved, and tha responsibility taken from contractors of looking in vain for breakers or metal.—l tixttf &c, Ratetayeb. (To the Editor.) Sir,—ln one of your locals last ovening yon state that Mr Kirby desires the Counc.il to start tho stonecruphor, and states that road metal could bo broken at 3s Gd per yard, ; whereas hand-broken metal costs Is (A. This is not tho fact. Tho Council pay only 4s 6d yer yard, and everyone knows that two yards of hand-broken metal is equal to three v of crushed stuff by tho machine. Stonobreakers will not break honeycomb scoria, but tho machino will ; so that the stuff is far inferior for road pur- 'L: poses. In fact, tho samo machine now lying at Mount Edon was discarded in Sydney eighteen years ago; but the Auckland City Board, of course, bought it, using it as they thought to save expense, but the contrary is true. Why, one break-down, to my knowledge, the last season it was in operation, cost about £ SO. . ~ I writo this to prevent our City Fathers from being led into the machine business, in order to liolp porpetrate a wrong; and I" am prepared to prove that good bluo hand broken metal, as specified by tho City Engineer, is worth six shillings per cubic yard at the present time ior breaking only. John Shaw.

A contributor to the Sydney " Town and Country Journal," in an article upon the breeding of animals in New South Wale?, says :—" In one year our bleeders havo been forced to pay the colony of Now Zealand £50,000 for heavy draught mares, and £10,000 for heavy or working horses. From : the same place nearly all our horse peas, "_. beans, linseed, carrots, and potatoes come. We havo been compelled to pay the other colonies almost £100,000 for stud sheep, and £30,000 for stud cattle, and while all : ; this is going on we talk about our superi ority and advancement, yet few believe it, . for few only come hero for our stud cattle, or horses, or oven for sheep, so that our boast is a mere delusion. Let us look at the thing straight, and say what we mean to do." A young lady, having coquetted until her . victim had become complu^ly disgusted, said to him as she accompanied him to the :> door, '' I shall be at homo next Sunday even ing." "So shall I," was the reply.
