The Wellington Cup,

The following are the particulars of the running for the

Wellington Cup of 40050v.5.; second horse to receive liosovs. from the stakes. Two miles. Mr O. Bates's Tho Poet, by Anteros—

Fancy, 7st lib (Stratford) Mr Standish's Normanby, by Day Dawn

—Traduccr mare, Gs Sib (Holmes) ... 2 Hon. \V. Robinson's Vanguard, by Tra ducer—En Avant, Bst 7lb (Ray) ... 3 Also started: Salvage, Leonata, and Refrigerator. The betting was 2tol on Vanguard, Salvage and Leonata being next in demand. The lot wero sent away to a good start, The Poet's colours showing in front, with Leonata and Normanby in close attendance, Vanguard last, There was little change till the stretch at tho back of tho course was reached, where Leonata fell away and Salvage improved his position. Coining to, the furze, Vanguard closed on the leaders, while Leonata fell further behind and lost all chance. Crossing the road Poet was still ahead and going strong, Normanby being close up, and Vanguard on tho hitter's quarters. Entering the straight for home this order was retained, and all whips were out, and I'oet, shaking off the determined rush of tho New Plymouth horso, Normanby, won by a length, Vanguard being third, two lengths away. Time, 3mins. 48.sees. Totalisator dividend : Inside, £2 shares, £.'U Ss; out side, £1 shares, £15 4s. Mr Bate's victory was extremely popular. The Stewards' Plato was won by Normanby, who upset a pot on Salvage.

Perhaps never lias thoro been more as tonishment in turf circles than yesterday afternoon when tho wires Hashed that The Foot had won the Wellington Cup. With the pen put through the name of Mischief, and Welcome .lack and Tim Whilller doubtful starters, it was thought that the race was next to a certainty for Vanguard, and lO's to 1 were going n-bogging in local circles about Mr Bate's gelding. It is not the first time that this gentleman has de feated the Grip Lodge party in the event under notice, and came to the rescue of the fielders, for in 1882 by tho aid of Hilda he was also successful in upsetting the odds laid on Salvage. Nohorsehasdonemorehard work for his owner than the son of Anteros and Fancy, but it cannot be said that hitherto he has been successful in big events, for last season alono he had the misfortune to finish second in the Christchurch Metro politan Handicap, A.R.C. Handicap, and Wellington K.C. Handicap, while he had to be content with third pine, in the Auckland Cup, Dunedin J.C. Handicap, Forbury Handicap, and Taranaki J.C. Handicap. The New Zealand Stud Company own both his sire and dam. The following is a list of winners of the Wellington Cup since its institution :—

A Maori Jockey Club.

Wanganui, this day.—A novel jockey club has been introduced in this district under the name of the Kai Iwi Jockey Club, all the members of which are Maoris. A programme has beon issued for races to be held on tlic 14th inst. (in whicli added money tothcextcntof£Boistobegiven), con sist ing of llnp.dicapHurdles, losovs.; Maiden Plate, 2.isovs. ; Kai Iwi Handicap, 20sovs. ; Flying Stakes, lOsovs. ; District Handicap, liisovs. ; and Consolation Stakes, Osovs. The first three and fifth are for Maoris only, the horses to bo ridden by Maori jockeys only, in colours, the rest being open to Europeans. All the stewards and officers are natives, and in anticipation of the event a number of natives have horses in training. Kai Iwi is about ten miles from Wanganui, and there are several native settlements in tlic locality.

Sylvanus, a sonof Goldsborough and Para digm, who was brought to New Zealand by Mr 11. Prince some years back, recently-died from a severe attack of rheumatism at Mataura. lie had been standing for some time in that district.

It is stated in English sporting circles that an American millionaire is about to establish a gigantic racing stud in England, and that he will not confine himself solely to English horses, but will also havo several American-bred ones in his stable.

The yearling colt by Angler from Lurline (says " Augur") has been named " Mai'oon dah," This youngster is almost a fac simile of his near relative Darebin, aiid it looks go for anything ho should worthily uphold the reputation of the family. Sir Thomas Elder has definitely decided to have his racing stud submitted to auction in May next. The worthy knight will retire from the turf, but the breeding establishment at Morphetville will be kept on under Mr Elworthy's management.

CORRESPONDENCE.

Sunday Trading,

(To the Editor.)

Sir,—ln passing along tho Karangahape Road, Newton, on Sunda^last, I was much surprised to find the uflual quiet and re spectful appearance of $hat neighbourhood broken by some unscruaslous individual who would not seem contejt Jo havo six days in a week to earn a tlTßßkwd, but does, as far as common decency wul permit, throw his shop open on the Sunday (for the salo of fruit, lollies, &c), from early morn till late at night. Now, Mr Editor, Ido not think this sort of thing should be per mitted, neither is it wanted in this neigh bourhood. lam sure the hours that shops keep open to in this city on Saturday night give ample time to even the most slothful to lay in storo all their requirements for Sunday's uso, and if this Sunday trading were permitted, it would throw tho door open to unscrupulous people and idlers to make it quite a day of business ; and even children on thoir way to Sunday-school are tempted to spend their pennies on the nico things displayed to allure the eye, thereby, perhaps, leaving tho mission, &c, funds minus, bo whore one man is grabbing ill gotten gain, the innocent and unoffending suffer, —I am, etc., KARAXGAnAI'E.

Railway Vagaries.

(To tho Editor.)

Sir, —The railway management must at last have reached its climax. Up to the present time, I have strongly argued in favour of tlio people retaining their rail ways, though after tho arrangement of the 29th there can bo no doobt that thp railways should bo at onco sold to tho highest bidders, who would no doubt study their pockets and the convenience of their patrons. Sir, my wifo and self decided to tako advantago of the cheap fares to Te Awamutu, and living closo to Rcmuera station, seeing tho trains stopped at every station until arriving at Penrose—tho fares being 10s and 7s (id from Auckland and Newmarket—wo never for ono moment thought the same fares should not he avail able at Rcmuera, Greenlane, mid Ponroso. However, tho Rcniuera station-mast*- in formed mo ho had not received any cheap fare tiekots, and orders to issuo only at Saturday rates-'2.s (id as against 10s, from the two before-mentioned stations, It is useless to add I kept my 40s, and allowed the train, with empty seats and the manage ment, to pass on. I may add I was not the only victim at Rcmuera. It will bo ap parent to any business man that a change of management should be at once domanded, and there can he no doubt that tho Hon. the Minister for Public Works, with his keen perception of business, if appealed to, would sco that suoh blundering as occurs on our railways will be tilings of the past.—l nm, &c, C. Rhodes, Rcmuera.

(To the Editor.)

1 Sir, —Please permit me through your paper to show the injustice done to passen gers travelling on the railway. Under standing by the advertisement on January , 28th tho fares to ho first class 5;, second class 3s 6d, from Auckland to Helensville, and thinking this a favourable opportunity of taking my family a pleasure trip, 1 did so ; but to my dismay, when we arrived at Helensville I was told I must pay the full faro, which amounted to 9s 4d on four tickets moro than tho fare specified, simply , because J, started from Mount Eden instead oi Auckland or Newmarket, which I, with others, think a great piece of imposition to ; the public at largo.—Yours truly, Sufferer.

A Warning.

(To the Newmarket Board of Health, tv>r

favour of Star).

Gentlemen, —I have lived in your district some time now, and I regret to say that nothing seems to bo done to improve the sanitary condition of the district. " Stinks abound," and now that we may look for hot weather I shall bo much surprised if we do not hear of typhoid fever and other diseases being rampant ere long. As a proof of your negligence, look at the filthy cesspits all over the placo. _ The stench from eomo old shanties in the district at night is some times sickening, and requiresyour immediate attention. If this letter succeeds in waking you up to a sense of your duty, I shall not have written in vain.—l am, etc., A Resident.

Our Athlete's Verdict.

RICYCLING.

JonN Roi.fe, Esq., champion bicyclist of Eng land and Australia, who at present is open to run a long-distance race with any bicyclist for the championship of the world, gives his per sonal experience of tho valuable properties of St. Jacob's Oil, as used by him in his recent contest with Jno. Watson for the championship of Australia

208, Elizabeth-street North, Melbourne, Victoria, 23rd November, 1883. To tho Editor Auckland Evening Star. Dear Sir,—l desire to add my cheerful endorse ment of the good ellects I have at all times re ceived from the use of St. Jacob's Oil when in active training and racing. During my recent C days' contest held in the Melbourne Exhibi tion Building for £500 and tho championship of the Australian and adjacent colonies, it was my boon companion. I continually used it before and after ouch day's performance, and the re suits simply astonished me. After riding for 8 consecutive hours each day, viz., from half-past 2 until half-past 10, my limbs would become soro and still' from over-exertion, but after being well-rubbed with the oil all muscular pain Immediately vanished and I felt as fresh as over. As proof po.sitive,af ter the contest was over, I rode 101 miles against lime before a pub lic audience and accomplished it in 0 hours 11 minutes liij) seconds. Another application of St. Jacob's Oil was made, and it removed all feel, ings of fatigue and I felt perfectly lit for another race. Am positive it aided me to win the match, and I shall never enter a similar contest without a bicycle and St. Jacob's Oil. I strongly advise all " wheelmen " and other athletes to give it a trial, and feel fully con vinced their experiences will compare favour ably with my own. I remain, dear Sir, Yours truly, John Rolfe. CRICKET. DAVID SCOTT, Esq., of the firm of Messrs Boyle and Scott, Cricket and Football Depot, Melbourne, Victoria.—" St. Jacob's Oil re lieved me at once of pain. I commend it toall footballers and cricketers." AQUATICS. EDWARD TRICKETT, Esq., one of the world, greatest oarsmen.—" I have found St. Jacob 8 Oil a sure and certain cure."

J. Collis Browne (Lato Army Medical Staff), to which bo gave the name of CHLORODYNE, and which is admitted by tiie profession to bo tlio most wonderful and valuable remedy ever discovered. CHLORODYNE is tlic best remedy known for Coughs, Consumption, Bronchitis, Asthma. CHLORODYNE acts like a charm In Diarrhoea, and is the only specific in Cholera and CHLORODYNE effectually cuts short all attacks of Epilepsy, Hysteria, Palpitation, and Spasms. ~ , CHLORODYNE is the only pallative in Neuralgia, Rheumatism, Gout, Cancer, Tooth ache Meningitis, &c.

Dear Sir,—We ombraco this opportunity of congratulating you upon the wide-spread reputation this justly esteemed medicine, Dr J. Collis Browne's Chlorodyne.hus earned for itself, not only in Hindostan, but all over the ICnst. As a remedy of general utility, we much question whether a bettor is imported into the country, and wc shall be glad to hear of its finding a place in overy Anglo-Indian home. The oilier brands, wc are happy to say, are now relegated to the native bazaars, anil judging from their sale, we fancy their sojurn thero will be but cviuu-Hceiit. We could multiply instances ad infinitum of the extraordinary clileaey of Dr. Collis Browne's Olilorodyno in Diarrhoea and Dvseiitrv, Spasms, Cramps, Neuralgia, the Vomiting ol Pi.giiuiicy, and as a general seda tive, that have occurred under our personal observation during many years. In Choleraic IliiuTluea and even more terrible forms of Cholera itself, we havo witnessed its surprising controlling power. We have never used any other form of this medicine than Collis lii'owne's from nil i-m eon vict ion that il is decidedly the best, and also from a sense of duly We owe to the profession and the public, us we are of opinion that the substitution of iinv other Hum Collis Browne's is A iikuiikkati: iiukacii ok faith ON TilK I'AHTOF Till: I'HICMIST TO I'KKSCKIIIF.It AND patient AI.IKK.

Public Notices. ANOTHER FIRE ! [—WHAT TO DO IN CASE OF FIRE.—The most fruitful sources of fires arc—tho careless use of matches, •eiidle flame coming in contact with window curtains or bedhaiigings, the mismanagement o. kerosene lamps, and the leaving of ordinary household lamps untonded. Matches should always be kept on a high shelf out of the reach of cbililren. When employed in stores, ware houses und factories, they should be protected from mice by means of proper metal-boxes. Care should be taken not to drop unlighted matches, nor to throw down unextinguished matches carelessly on the floor. Never ieave a lighted candle unwatehed near hanging drapery, especially if there be an open window in the room. Reading in bed by candle light is a practice very much to be condemned, and a burning candle should never be suffered lo remain after the inmates of the bouse are asleep. Gas should ba turned oft' at the main when not in use. In case an escape should be strongly smelt, turn off at once from the main and set open the doors and windows, but on no account take a lighted candle into the room till the smell has passed off. Never pilo up partially burnt wood against the chimney ; scores of houses have been burned in this way in New Zealand. Never put firewood inside the fender or on the stove to dry. Paper, clothing, or similar combustible material should never bo left near the grate. Ashes should never be thrown away against a wooden building, or kept in a wooden box or barrel. The abovo hints relate to the preven tion ok fire. When unfortunately a fire does occur, remember that wet blankets and ruga economise the supply of water, and are moro effectual in preventing lhe spread of Arc tharf water simply thrown on, and at the same time cause less damage to furniture. In the hurry and confusion of a lire doors and windows aro too apt to be thrown open ; thoy should be kept shut as much as possible. Fire can only spread rapidly when it is plentifully supplied with air. Have your chimneys regularly swept, at fixed intervals; at least once in three months.— WHAT TO DO AFTER A FIHE.-The assured must use his best endeavours to save and pro tect his property during the fire and afterward-, and until an ofllcer of the Insurance Company arrives, he should act precisely as he would if he had no insuratico whatever, i.e., do all in his power to prevent further loss or damage. This is especially necessary where the loss is on merchandise or chattels, it being a mistake to suppose that goods damaged by or in consequence of a firo must bo allowed to remain in the chaotic condition into which a fire generally throws them, to await inspection by tho adjuster. On tho contrary, they should first of all bo removed (if necessary) to a safe, dry place, and everything done that is requisite to prevent further shrinkage of values. After this they should bo straightened and assorted, tho damaged separated from the sound, anfl the whole cor rectly invoiced. The policies make this a part of the duty devolving upon the assured, and prompt, intelligent compliance with this condi tion is calculated to facilitate the adjustment of losses. As tho goods saved from a Arc belong to the assured they cannot be abandoned to tho Underwriters, but the Companies are liable for all damage thereto so far as the policies will reach. What to Do in Case of FiRE.-Effeet a policy of Insurance with the NEW ZEALAND INSURANCE COMPANY, where overy de scription of Insurances aie taken at Lowest Rates of Premium. GEORGE P. PIERCE.
