FIGHTING AT THE NEW HEBRIDES.

Treacherous Conduct of the Native*,

Last March an armed encounter took place between the natives of the Island of Aoba, in the New Hebrides, and the crew of the ■ British ship the Eliza Mary. A letter was addressed to the English consul at Noumea by a certain Mr Macleod, accusing the crew of the Eliza Mary of armed aggression against the natives, and stating that it was to bo feared that theso latter would hold the employees of the Caledonian Company established at Aoba responsible for the conduct of the crew. An inquiry, fo the punishment of the alleged offenders, was demanded. Tho English Consul at Noumea has now replied, stating that an inquiry has been made, which proves that the sea men were not the aggressors, and that the statements of Mr Macleod were not correct. According to an entry made in the log of the Eliza Mary by the Government official attached to that vessel, it appears that while the ship was lying about eight miles off Aoba a craft came alongside manned by four natives, who stated that several of their i friends wished to be engaged, and asking that a boat might be sent to bring them oft Two of the ship's boats were sent ashore' taking with them one of the four natives as §vide, who directed the boats into a email ay surrounded by rocks, which proved'l;'' to be the identical spot where thsM) crow of the May Queen were massacred some time ago. Tho first boat had scarcely touched ground when the gnide, leaped ashore. A volley was immediately fired from amongst the rocks into the midst of the two boats' crews. The sailors re turned the volley as well as they could, but the natives who were hidden behind the rocks kept up a continuous fire. The guide "who had tried to make off, was shot dead. ■ Of course it was found necessary to beat a retreat, and tho boat which had touched the ground was got off under cover of the discharge kept up by the men in the second ; 1 boat. One of the sailors received a ball in tho thigh, which has not yet been ex tracted. The Consul's report states thai ■o far from having been guilty of any out* > rages, the men of the Eliza Mary had been beguiles into an ambush. This dastardly •utrage differs from most others perpe trated in this island ki the fact that whereas they have generally been unpremeditated, s the present one was evidently planned with cold-blooded calculation..

SCULLING CHAMPIONSHIP.

Hanlan v. Laycock.

The following account of this match i, given by the Sydney " Bulletin ":—Oreat were the preparations made for the Nepeaa race on Thursday, the 22nd, and great: were the efforts made by the dailies to out do each other in keeping the metropolitans • posted up in the doings of the competitors'; billed to meet in the big race for". £1,000 and the Championship of the World. ■ Thursday turned out a day made to order,,', but even this was insufficient to draw a big crowd to the Nepean; and it is not under, rating' the numbers to say that barely hundreds put in an appearance wher6 ; ; thousands were expected. That the cqune is a grand sheet of water there can be n« two opinions, but there can also be no two . opinions that it will never form the champion course of Australia, judging from the expressions of dissatisfaction on all sides during the return trip; and the odds ore that in the event of another race on the Nepean, not ten per cent, of last week's visitors would turn out for such another re* markably slow day's sport. Boat-racing, at i the best, is the poorest of sport, except to enthusiasts, and it is made doubly slow when four hours' train has to be put in for the sake of seeing a 20-minutes race—or rather three or four minutes of it, as that is the outside glimpse the grandstand people saw of it on Thursday.. The grandstand was put together in a rough and ready style; and perhaps it was as well it was not called upon to cany more than a handful of people, as, had their been anything like a crush, the local sawbones would have cut in, and Hanlan, Laycock, and the winners of the other races, would not have been the only ones to maka any thing out of the day's venture. That the promoters must have burnt their fingers over the affair there can be no doubt, and we sincerely trust it will prove a warning' to other speculators, who make the attempt to change the champion course of Australia from the splendid and convenient course on the Farramatta. The big race of the day will allow of little description. Hanlan looked in tip-top condition, and we looked in vain for the haggard and stale appear ance attributed to him during his training. Used as we are to big men for champions, he appeared a very boy alongside his rival. No one would have cast a look on him 80 far as physique was concerned. Laycock looked well, but he could not have been in tiptop condition, as his preparation was o deal too hurried to allow of his coming to the post at his best. The wheezy old launch that carried the umpire and the press waited for the men some three-quarters of a mile down the course, and after they passed she; puffed away in chase, seemingly making harder work of it than Hanlan. Laycock' dashed away with the start, and, rowing at his top, at the quarter had a shade of a lead, but evidently on sufferance only, as Hanlan passed him without an effort, and rowed over the remainder of the course with the greatest ease, winning eventually by a length, which he could have leng thened oat to as many hundred had he felt so inclined. On the Sunday preceding the race, Hanlan tried the new boat put to- ' gether by Edwards, of Melbourne, and gave ' a select few a show of what he really can do in a wager-boat. He covered over half a mile in 2min. 20sec., and this in a boat dot ■ fitted up to his liking; so that, if time goes"; for anything, the sculler who holds him for m a mile, when at his best, will have to clip along to rather a lively tune. Only two ' boats started in each of the local races. W. Rowe won the single sculls, and in company with W. Sykes he also carried ofi the double scull race. Matterson (251b.) won the handicap light skiff race, with ease, from Guillif ord (35)b); and he also made a win of the all-comers' outrigger race, with a handi cap of lOsecs., Messenger (ffeecs:) pulling * into second place. Messenger had been suffering from boils, and was far from ap- ' pearing in first-class condition ; but he pulled a plucky though hopeless race to the end. Taken as a whole, the Nepean show cannot be looked upon as anything bat a huge frost, and we fancy it will be seme time before a like venture is entered upon again. So far as the Parramatta course is ' concerned, it has gained in popularity at the expense of the Kepean. . -' ''
