THE AUCKLAND RACING CLUB AUTUMN MEETING.

Matters in connection with our Autumn Meeting have not been extra brisk so far, but now that tho various horses have ar rived, things will assnmo a more lively ap pearance, and wo may anticipate a bit of speculation. A good number of horses have been out in tho mornings at Ellerslie during the week, and they have all been treated to useful work. From all accounts, Leonora's leg is not as sound as could be wished, but Nelson, who has had several good gallops put into him, is looking and going well. Tho lightly-weighted Radames also promises to be well forward by the day, and I hear that old Maori is none the worse for his recent travels. With regard to the Steeplechase, it looks as if it will be a match between Chandler, New \ oar, and Billy-go-by-'em,and of the three I prefer Mr Leonard's horse. The following entries and acceptances for the meeting wero received last night, and it looks as if we will have two good days' excellent sport : — Easter Handicap of 200sovs.; 2 miles. St. lb. Capt.

Mr W. Adams has lost his jumping horse Christmas, who died in his box at Papakura in the early part of tho week. Ever since the Takapuna Spring Meeting the horse has not been himself, and Mr Halstead attri butes his death to heart disease. Christ mas, who at ono time rejoiced in the name of Parikarangaranga, was bred by Mr J. Stevens,M.H.R., at Rangitikei,and was got by Golden Grape out of Don Juan's dam. During his whole career he only won five races, four of them boing last season, when owned by Mr J. H. Pollock. Hippona. [Continued on Page Five.]

St. Jacob's Oil Invincible.

(To tlie Editor of EVENING STAR.) Dear Sir,—l wish to add my testimony to the clhcacy of tho great German remedy, St Jacob's Oil. Your columns have contained, from time to time, expressions of gratitude from persons of known respectability, and having satisfied my eelf of the genuineness of the cures effected I obtained a bottle, scarcely hoping it would suc ceed in relieving mo. J. or the pa3t seven months I have suffered severely from a pain ful attack of sciatica, which, in spite of the most able treatment on tho part of my medi cal adviser, continued to hold its own in my system. Mr Sleep at lost began to be affected and my whole system very much reduced. The most careful treatment failed te give me relief and I thon applied nearly every advertiscci remedy. The sdatica was principally located in my Jcft thigh, and the pain at times was most oxa/uclaling. In Bpito of the most thorough applications, and the great est caro and attention on my part, ob lained no appreciable relief, and at last, h_. -. forlorn hope. I determined to apply St. Jacobs Oil, and from that timo tho pain began to diminish. My sleep soon returned, and each application afforded mo relief. At first I ro piu.lod tho cessation from pain as only a temporary ono, scarcely during to hope thai tho euro was complete; but I havo gratefully to acknowledge that I am now free from pain-in fact, a man again. I must confess t'niit I iriod the o\l lv abso lute despair. I bad bud no sleep for three or four night., previously, n .d my system was very low. The success, however, Is complete, and I again tender my grateful acknowledgments to the proprietors of; the Oil, and shall over continue to rooommontj ft to every sufferer who comes ..V."? ..'.«? °. n,y . fluenco.

EIGHT HOURS DEMONSTRA TION.

The following report and balance-sheet of tho above event have been prepared : " Fellow Workmen,—We have again to congratulate you on the success of thts now well-established annual demonstration tho interest in which is proven by the fact that several sections of labour that held aloof on former occasions were represented, and it is hoped that the next will embrace every branch of skilled and unskilled labour. The procession to the Domain was much larger than on any former occasion, and the presence of so many handsome banners pro cured for the occasion is on evidence of the growing interest taken by the trades in this annual fete. The Demonstration banner arrived complete a short time before the Demonstration day, and turned out to be a splendid piece of workmanship. It was in tended to havo tho design painted in Auck land by Mr Holland, the designer, but tho maker of the silk of necessary sizo and quality would not furnish it only in the complete banner; hence tho reason for having the work done outside the colony. Satisfactory arrangements have been made for its safe storage, and it has been insured for its full value. Owing to the probable change in the management of tlie Cricket Ground, and the growing disposition of tho public to evade payment for entrance, it is feared that some other place will havo to bo found in which to hold the sports. We have been singularly unfortunate this year with the ground ; a determined effort on the part of tlie Temperance bodies to deprive us of it led to tho loss of a considerable sum of money through our failure to dispose of publicans' booths. Then the action of Cricket Ground Trustees in giving permission to a man to sell non-in toxicating beverages without our knowledge led to a suit being instituted against us in the Resident Magistrate's Court, in which we were cast in damages. All those circum stances would seem to indicate that another place in which to hold the noxt Demonstra tion Sports would be desirable. We havo again to thank the public for their liberality in cash donations and trophies, which wero duly acknowledged in the press at the time. Wo also heartily thank Sir George Grey for the very able address givon by him in tho Choral Hall on the evening of the 29th, also Messrs Dargaville and Moss for their ad dresses, and Pi i WrvsMp the Mayor for presiding on that occu_.ii.ii. The entire ex pense of the mass meeting was borne by tho Trade and Labour Council, so your dele-, gates thought it only right to vote that body the sum of £10. This sum appears in the accompanying balance-sheet, along with the sum of £3 voted to them subse quent to the issue of lastyear's balance-sheet.- It having been represented to us that tho Auckland Dispensary was a worthy institu tion, and in need of funds, a sum of £10 was voted as a donation, for which dispensary tickets were issued, and distributed among your delegates for use in cases of distress. , After making the donations cited, and pay-, ing all expenses in connection with the De-' monstration, including the balance on banner, the very handsome balance of £60 lOd, as will be seen by balance-sheet, stands over. We regret to havo to inform you that since the balance was struck we have had to pay judgment and costs (£3l 3s) in the case Mooney v. Heslop, which will materially lesson tlie balance in hand. - Your delegates would suggest the 29th of January as being the most suitable day on which to hold the next Demonstration, and have instructed the Secretary to advertiso in September next for tho appointment of delegates, and that their first meeting bo held in October. The balance in hand is to be deposited in the Auckland Savings Bank in the names of Messrs Parkes, King, and McKinney, as trustees.—(Signed) Geo. W. Heslop, President; Chas.~B. Kino, Secretary."
