A.R.C. Autumn Meeting.

In" yesterday's issue wo were enabled to give tho results of the three lir*t races. There is but little to add in tho way of comment to what appeared yesterday. The totalisator was extremely well-patronised, but there was a good deal of dissatisfac tion amongst the public in consequence of of one of ihe machines not registering pro perly. Eventually the police requested the Club not to continue working this par ticular machine, as the non-registration of the total was a broach of the Gaming and Lotteries Act. One feature of the day's proceedings was tho riding of Sutherland, who placed three wins to his credit. We conclude our report of tho racing. Selling Race of BOsovs., added to a sweepstakes of 2sovs. each. For 2-year olds, Cst lllbs; 3-year-olds, Bst 61bs; 4-year-olds, 9st; 5-year-olds and upwards, 9st 21bs.

Kadames, Maori, Okato, and Mitrailleuse were scratched. Betting :6 to 4 against Sham, 3 to 1 against Paramena, 4to 1 against King Quail. Paramena led from the start, and was never collared, though it was evident from the manner in which the Quail overhauled him in the last few lengths that a furlong further would have crowned the " little sneaker" with victory. Time, 2mins 21{secs. Totalisator dividend, 2s lid. The winner was bought at the upset price, £50. Publicans' Pubse .of lOOsovs., with n sweepstakes of 3sovs. each, to go to second horse.

CORRESPONDENCE.

Sericulture.

(To the Editor.)

Sm,—Will you allow me to say a few words in reply to your remarks about sericulture inSaturday's Star? I was careful to consider all the circumstances, also unfavourable ones, which might attend the introduction of this now industry in New Zealand. It seems to me to be neither wise nor fair to show only the bright side of the question without mentioning the difficulties which are always encountered whenever a new in dustry is introduced. But between what! said, that certain things might happen, which might make the enterprise appear in an unfavourable light for the first year or two, and your version of the matter, " that investors would be exposed to the imminent chance of failure, etc.," there is certainly a wide difference. As regards the yield of one acre, you arc aware that the figures (1601b. of cocoons at 8s per lb.) are not my own. They are to be found in a pamphlet written by Mr Fcdorli, and pub lished by authority of the Government of New Zealand. I used those numbers merely for argument's sake—not because I agree with them. You will admit that their price being stated in the pamphlet at 8s per lb., they could not possibly be fresh ones. Upon examination of the pamphlet since, however, I admit that you were quite justified in treating them as fresh cocoons. Mr Federli will, no doubt, be able to enlighten you how he found these numbers out. I distinctly informed you that I do not wish at present to state any figures as the probable quantity of cocoons to be got from one aero in New Zealand. It is extremely difficult to give any exact estimates on sucli a subject. You said you wanted facts. As the silk industry has not yet been tried on a practical basis in New Zealand, numbers about the profit would not be facts, but only estimates. Let us have a trial, and then you will get facts. The quantity of cocoons depends entirely from the quantity of leaves the trees yield. I told you that in the first year or two we might not realise 1601b of dry cocoons from one acre, but as the trees grow older they give more leaves; more worms can be hatched, and accordingly the quantity of cocoons will increase. Dr. Ure is undoubtedly a great authority on .many matters, but in stating the price for fresh cocoons in France at 1 franc 25 cents he is entirely wrong. If you consult the "Bulletin dcs Soies et dcs Soieries " of the 16th June, 1877, you will find the prices for fresh cocoons from 1810 to 1876. 1 franc 25 cents per pound would be 2 franc." 75 cents per kilo. During these 66 years, only four times—in 1811, 1812, 1831, 1832—the prices were about 2 franca 75 cents. In 1857 and 1865 they were at 90 franca per kilo, which is equal to 3 francs 63 cents per lb. In 185&, 1860-72 they were above 7 francs per kilo, etc. The average for 20 years—lßs6-'75 —is 6 francs 25 cents per kilo, equal to 2 francs 84 cents per lb. I give these quotations for fresh cocoons, merely to show that even Dr. Ure is liable to mistakes. What we shall have to deal with in New Zealand will be dry cocoons. I will conclude by saying that "Zatniel's " remarks on sericulture in Sat< urday's Supplement are very beautiful from a moral point of view. But lam inclined to think that ladies will not just yet give up wearing silk dresses, ribbons, etc. I venture to express my belief that when people in New Zealand have once found out that money can be made by this industry, they will put such feelings in their pockets. His remarks that a market ought to be found for tho cocoons are to the point. This will bo one of the primary objects of the Com pany when onco formed, and tho market will easily be found ; but, as yet, such a proposal is premature.—Yours, &c, G. A, Schoch.

(To the Editor.)

Sir,—You are deserving of the thanks of the public for the spirited manner in which you have opened the columns of your paper for the discussion of the culture of the olive, the vine, and silk. I would like, if not in truding too much on your kindness, to make a few observations in reference to Mr Federli's general condemnation of the olives and mulberries imported by the Auckland Acclimatisation Society. As far as his remarks have gone.he has given no proofs of the correctness of the assertions he haa made. It is usual with adepts when con demning certain classes of plants as being "altogether of the wrong kind," to give reasons for the conclusions he has arrived at, and also to name the variety he rejects. This Mr Federli has not done, so far as his public statements show, but it may be his intention to do so at a later period. I have taken some trouble to acquaint myself with the identity of the mulberries imported by the above Society, and find that one variety was obtained as the true moms alba. As I am led to believe that Mr Federli has ex amined this plant and rejected it as useless, could he inform me of the proper name of this variety ? AYould he also kindly tell me if the mulberry Jplants imported by tha Thames silk.growers are the true morus alba, as was understood when they were obtained from Australia ? The olives, again, are, treated in a similar off-hand manner, although they were imported direct from Italy as being of the "best Italian varie ties." Perhaps Mr Federli will also favour me with the names of these varieties. These are questions to which the public should have immediate answers, as the Society has gone to some expense and a great deal of trouble to distribute large numbers of both plants over the colony, and it is its intention, I am told, to distribute even more largely next season those plants which wo are told are utterly useless. With reference to vine oulture, Mr Federli has publicly stated that' vines could be successiully grown in this district. Might I ask Mr Federli again to give his reasons for this statement ?—I am, &c, Searching for Facts.

St. Jacob's Oil invincible.

(To the Editor of Kvenino Star.) Dear Sir,—l wißh to add my testimony to the efficacy of tho great German remedy, St. Jacob's Oil. lour columns have contained, from time to time, expressions of gratitude from persona of known respectability, and having satisfied my self of the genuineness of th« c\u'es effected I obtained a bottle, scarcely hoping it would suc ceed in relieving mo. For the past seven months I have suffered severely from a pain ful attack of sciatica, which, in Bpito of tha most able treatment on the part of my meai cal adviser, continued to hold its own in my system. My sleep at last began to bo affected and ray whole system very much reduced. The most careful treatment failed to give mo relief, and I then applied nearly every advertisod remedy. The Bfciatiea vvaa principally located in my loft thigli, and tho pain at tunes was most oxc-iiciating. In spite of tho most thorough applications, and tho great est care und attention on my part, ■ ob tained i\O appreciable relief, and at last, h*. * forlorn hope, I determined to apply St. Jacobs vii, and from that tune tho pain began to diminish, lly sleep soon returned, and each application afforded me relief. At first I re garded tho cessation from pain as only a temporary one, scarcely daring to hopo that the cure was complete; but I havo gratefully to acknowledge that I am now free from pain -in fact, a man again I must confess that 1 tried the Oil in abso' luto despair. I had had no sleep for three or tour nights Drovlously, and my system was very low. Ihc success, however, is complete, and I again tender my grateful acknowledgments to the proprietors of tho Oil, and shall ever continno to recommend it to cvory sufferer who conies lT'-iV m .I; aIKU of ">y influence. What medical skill failed to do St. Jacob's Oil effected, and I regard it ag Urn gveatost boon of the ago. i 1 am, dear Sir. ' Yours faithfully, ... John Lee, .

' "Dear Sirs,—About a fortnight'ago I had a severe attack of rhuematism in my back, which ?avo mo no end of pain and trouble. I used St. Jacob's Oil, and in one or two applications tho pain entirely left. Since then I have had occa sion to use the Oil on a badly-sprained wrist, and its effect was simply magical. My wife has used it for neuralgia in tho head, with equally satisfactory results. I consider St. Jacob's Oil a valuable preparation, and shall not only uso it in my own house, but shall recom mend my friends to do so. " Yours truly, IT CONQUERS PA^ 1300111 IT CONQUKRS PAIN.
