Pursuant to Orders, tho volunteer forco of the district mustered at the Drill-shed at ten a.m., and hoadod by tho Garrison Band, under Mr Morris, marched thonce to tho Railway Station, whence they were conveyed to Ellerslio. The various com panies were represented ns follows : — Artillery : 36 men under Captain Payno, Lieuts. Nome, Goddis, and Dr. Tennant. Nb. 1 Infantry Company, Auckland Naval 6.-30 men, under Capt.

Upoti alighting from tho train the whole force marched to the centre of tho racecourse property, where tho sham fight commenced, the force first of all advancing by various companies to tho front in skirmishing order, and then retiring. Then the force changed front, and repeated the move ments. It was divided into company squares to receive cavalry. In the first tactics the Artillory separated into half batteries on the right and lotf of the line advanced, and retired along with it, and in the later move ments it supported the column. Major Shepherd was in command of the whole body, while his staff (all mounted like himself) comprised— Adjutant Clifton and Drs. Dawson and Evans, who noted as aide de camp. The int.nnitting skirmishing and volley firii gof the infantry were very weli executed, whi'e the cannonading of the Artillery, as well as their general manoeuvres, was prompt and effective. A largo number of people, attracted, principd'y by the firing, gathered on the racecourse and stand, and viewed the sham fight with very great interesti Shortly after two o'clock the heroes of the bloodless strife adjourned from labour to refreshment.

EXCURSIONS.

Tub wharf presented quito a heliday ap pearance this morning, being thronged with gaily-dressed excursionists prepared with all the requisites for a princely holiday. Occasional brief, sunny showers intervened, which caused many a faco to look heaven ward for the purpose of tracing promising Indications of favourable weather and genial skyey influences. These early sum mer sprinldings, however, although they had a dampening effect upun apparel and silk dresses, but slightly affected the " generous ardour of the breast," and did not reach the expectant spirits of the multi tude. The several vessels started at their appointed time, fully freighted with human souls-inon, women,and children-each having on board its representative bond of music. The flrßt to etart was the p.s. Tainui, laden with members of the Auckland Naturalists' Field Club, with more than 100 excur sionists, bound for the quiets island of Waiheke, duly equipped for investigations tnto the sylvan recesses of nature, and for amusements according to their incKnations. The Tainui merrily bounded on its passage, and was soon lost to sight. .The p.s. Birkenhead, engaged by the congregation of St. James's, started a little later for Lake Takapuna, for the purpose of rusti cating and enjoying a sooinl picnic in the glades of that delightful and fashionable locality. The Clansman- and Waitaki steamers wore crowded by visitors to the mountain-sheltered haunts of Waiwera to enjoy the luxuries of Mr Graham's gardens, hot baths, boating and fishing on the dividing Waltonian River. _ The p.s. Tonganro made two excursions to St. Helier's Bay with a motley assemblage of temperanco people and others. The s,s. Macgregor and Wellington took several hundreds of persons to the.Kawatt, the classical retirement of Sir George Grey, X.C.8., a spot in which cultivated nature and art display their choicest luxuries. The Maori had a goodly number on board, chiefly members of the Beresford-street congregation, bound for a picnic under the poetic witchery of spreading trees. Tho Salvationists crowded tho deck of. the Glenelg for a water trip to Motutapu, with a whole bevy of .officers and a number of smiling lasses, for the picnic and salva tion meeting in those island solitudes. ■ The Victoria and North Shore steamers have been busy throughout the day, plying to and fro with thousands of citizens of. straw berry and pleasure seekers.

WHAU REGATTA.

The Whau" Rowing Regatta took place to day, and attracted a large number of spec tators, the competitors in rowing races alone comprising over 100 persons. . The p.s. Anne Milbank left at an early hour ■with boats.and crews intending to take part in the different events, and dt 10 o'clock the s.s. Rotomohana followed, also fairly patroniSe<l by passengers. The" weather was very threatening, but later on cleared up somewhat. The following results have reached us :r-;;, • ._<_.-'_,

ANGLO-COLONIAL NOTES.

(From our London Correspondent.)

LoNDdN, Septettibef 27.

Increased Demand for Frozen Mutton. The Dock Companies have consented to meet the wishes of importers of frozen mut ton, and will reduce the storage rates about 25 or 30 por cent. The saltjs of frozen muttonattheHealtheriesliavei'ocointHenced, and are larger than over. On Saturday evening last overy scrap of mutton in the refrigerators was cleared out. Mr Tonkins, the proprietor of the Australasian Grill at the Exhibition, was about to start New Zealand restaurants in various parts of London (Kensington and the city to begin with), whero a chop and bread or potatoea can be obtained at the same price as at the Heatherios, viz., Bd. The sales of frozen mutton in the, provinces continue to increase. At tho Bradford depot last week 300 carcases wore cut up aud disposed of. New depots have just been opened at Charley Stafford's, Newmarket, and Les minster.

Now Steamer for the Union Company.

William Denny and Brothers, of Dum barton, who have built so many fine boats for your Union Company, launched on Tuesday a steol-built screw steamship of 765 tons and 600 horse-power for them called the Ohau. She is double-bottomed, except in the machinery space, and will bo fitted with refrigerating chambers for conveying meat from port to port in New Zealand. The machinery will be of the usudl corilpound type by Penny; The vessel was christened by Miss Mills, of Dunedin, daughter of the energetic manager of tho Union Company.

Miscellaneous.

Sir Hercules Robinson, who has had a terribly responsible' time since he under took the Governorship of Cape Colony, writes to a private friend that ho deeply regrets leaving Now Zealand. Ho resigns his present post shortly, unless the Home Government agree to support him in some decisive actioii in Bochuanaland.

It is probable that Mr Walter Severn, a water-colour artist of considerable eminence, will visit New Zealand next yoar, with a view to painting a series of pictures of the West Coast Sounds and Hot Lakes of Auckland.

The Australian Cricketers Tour.

The tour .of the Australian cricketers cnine to an end on Saturday last, and during tho current week most of our groat journals have contained long critical articles analysing tho play of the team and their principal tnatches. The " Field " {usually considered a leading authority on the game) thinks the question of supremacy between England and Australia still un settled, "Against the Players tho Austra lians were twice victorious, but on neither occasion were the elevens of the former at all representative; the matches against the gentlemen resulted in c victory apiece, and of the three against England only one was finished. On that occasion the victory of England was decisive, but in the drawn matches Australia bad each time the advan tage. The question of supremacy, therefore, can scarcely be said to have been decided, nor ia theru any gleat teason why it should be." After analysing Borne of the principal matches, the "Field" con tinues !• — "Enough has .been said to show, however, that in the .0-called 'representative' matches the Australians have not proved themselves Bujferior to our men as cricketers. On the other hand, they have shown that they can hold their own with even our most care fully-selected elevens. Such, at any rate, is the conclusion wo have arrived at after watching carefully thoir career this season. It is not, however, easy to say where their strength lies. We certainly have plenty as good batsmen in England as they have —some, indeed, better. We have bowlers who have at times proved thomselvos as good as theirs, though we have no one who could go through the season like Spofforth, who has scarcely fallen off for a day; and the fielding of some of our elevons has been quite up to their high standard. Wo ought, therefore, to be able to win when ever we put a picked eleven in the field. We have not done co, however; and though tho element of luck is strong in cricket, our re verses must not bo attributed toitalone. The secret seems to lie in the fact that our cricket ers have not yet fully developed those quali ties which are so striking in the Australians. They have not the samo staying powers, the same resources under adverse circum stances, ' and the same determination in playing an uphill game. These are qualities for which the Australian elevens have always been famous, and which are only to be found in teams that have constantly played together and acquired the habit of mutual confidence. As crioketers, on the other hand, English men have quite held their own, and as long as the game is played as it is, there is no fear of an Australian eleven ever showing a decided superiority over us.

THE WRECK OF THE CLYDE.

[by telegraph—press association;]

Christchurch, this day. In connection with the wreck of the Clyde, arrangements have been made for proper care of the sole survivor, Gibson, and for recovering any bodies washed ashore. The scene of the disaster was a long low reef known as " Snuffle Nose," running out from the east side of Horseshoe Bay, between that bay and Long Bay, and soven miles from Akaroa Harbour. Several narrow escapes from similar disasters have occurred in the vicinity, and steps are being taken to urge on Government the necessity of station ing a lifeboat at Akaroa. At the inquest on the body of Herbert Boheo, aged 14, ship's boy of the Clyde, held on Saturday, a ver dict of" Death by drowning in cdnsequorice of Shipwreck " was returned.

RELIGIOUS EDUCATION IN SCHOOLS.

Progress of DonomlnationaUsm in Otago.

(by telegraph.—own correspondent.)

Dunedin, this day. Archdeacon Edwards, in supporting the resolution re religiouß teaching in State schools, soid it was a remarkable fact that not a single inspector, teacher, or parent in the diocese was satisfied with the education system. They had not ono word to say in favour of it; in fact, all condemned it, tho only person in favour of it being Mr Habonß, who had drawn it up. The whole system from beginning to ond was ono of "cram," and childron were greatly overworked under it. During the last week two instances had come under his notice, in which the death of a couple of girls had been hastened by this overwork. It was a rather strange thing that Mr Habens should have left a master's position. The present method of giving religious in struction out of school hours was most un satisfactory, because the majority of child ron did not attend, and it wus very trying for those who did attend to bo receiving roliglous instruction while thoir companions were playing outside. If the Legislature recognised tho fact that the people of New Zealand wanted religious instruc tion in some shape or form, they would surely see their way to shorten the time dovoted to secular instruction to four or four and a-balf hours, and allow half an hour for religious instruction. The great point was that children should be brought to see that religion was recognised. At present they looked upon it as something to be avoided, and tney would back out of it if they possibly could. Bishop Neville, in supporting the re solution, said there was a very decided alteration in public opinion on the subject that was proceeding rapidly in tho direction they desired, and one in which ho did not expect it would be so manifested. He re ferred to tho fact that Mr Macandrew, M.H.R., had expressed a leaning towards dcnominationalism. Some Presbyterian ministers were now coming to the same conclusion, and ono of tho most prominent of that body in this city had told him distinctly his opinion had entirely altered on the subject—in foot that he bad quite come round to his (the Bishop's) view. The gentleman referred to expressed himself as "quite disappointed with his efforts to impart religious instruc tion under tho present system. He re garded himself as having a certain aptitude for teaching, but ho was forced to admit ho could mako no impression on tho youth of Dunedin in the matter of religious in struction. He-was astonished to find tho Btate of thoir minds on religious sub jects, and found that in consequence of thoir ignorance and utter dis regard it was quite impossible to rotain thoir attention. Ho was bound to confess that his hand had lost its cunning, his heart failed him, and he had come to tho conclusion that he had surely been utterly wrong in the past. Now he was prepared to go infordcnominationalism,and endeavour to instruct the youth of this country, for he was appalled at their present condition." It is understood the Bishop was referring to Dr. Stuart.
