C.J.C. Autumn Meeting.

In last evening's issue we published the results of the first three events of the C.J.C, Autumn Meeting. The concluding items were the Selling Race f won by Whit bach, in which there were seven starters, and the Flying Stakes, appropriated by Rubina, Spinnaker being second, and Billy third. There were three other starters, Lady Emma being the favourite.

AVONDALE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.

The annual soiree was held in the Hall on Monday evening. There was a large gather ing, many friends having come from Hen derson. Tea was provided by Meedames Sommervillo, Buchanan, Johnatone, Archi bald, and the bachelors. The Rev. R. Sommerville presided, and after tea delivered a short address explanatory of the object of the meeting. The musical part of the pro gramme was provided by a local choir composed ef Messrs Bell and Wickham, and Misses Archibald, Morrison, Thomas, and Wood ; Mr and Misses Harbutt, from Mount Albert, also gave valuable musical assist ance ; Mr Bell sang a song of hi? own composing, " We Must Work if we would Win," to music of his own composing ; he also gave three recitations—one of which was composed by himself, and told of the varied trials and troubles of a committee man on Church Committee, School Com mittee, and Road Board. Mr Buchanan delivered an address on the duty of attend ing to the little things in connection with the house of God. A very pleasant feature of the evening's proceedings was a presentation from the congregation to Miss Archibald, the organist. The presentation consisted of an "Oxford Teacher's Bible," "Church Praise," "Smith's Bible Diction ary" (2 vols.), "The Land and the Book," " Wordsworth's Poems," and a lady's writing-desk. The books bore the following inscription :—" Presented to Miss Archi bald by the Avondale Presbyterian congre gation, in appreciation of her faithful and gratuitous services as organist for between two and three years. Avondale, April 14th, 1884." In presenting the gift of the con gregation to Miss Archibald, Mr Sommer ville spoke in very laudatory terms of her devotion to the duties of a labour of love in walking two miles from and to her home twice every Sunday to lead the service of praise in the sanctuary. A vote of thanks was, on the motion of Mr Wickham, ac corded to the ladies for providing the tea, and a similar vote to the friends who pro rided the music. The National Anthem was then sung, and so terminated a very pleasant and successful soiree.

Typhoid Fever in Ponsonby.

(To the Editor.) Sir, —Typhoid fever in its most malignant form has broken out amongst the slums of Ponsonby and several deaths from its effects have taken place lately in that neighbour hood. Many property owners seem sur prised at the fever breaking out in their district, and are becoming alarmed. But no wonder fever has broken out, sir, you have only to pay a visit to Spring-street and the many narrow gutters designated street on each side of College and Franklin Roads, and there you will find festering disease breeding slums, sufficient to poison and contaminate with disease the whole of Auckland. There all the sewerage and filth find its way to the bottom of the deep gullies on each side of College Road, and there it lies festering, polluting the air, and spreading disease and death. No need to hoist the skull and cross bones emblems of death there. The horrible smells proceed ing from these death spots warns you that there is death in the air. To have such a state of matter existing in our midst shows great neglect of the laws of sanitation, and almost criminal neglect on the part of the City Council, whose duty it is to see to the health of the city. It is to be hoped that the City Council will awaken to a senEe of its duty and take immediate steps to check and eradicate the spread of disease by providing the proper means of drainage and sewage. Trusting some abler pen than mine will take up the matter, I am, &c, P. M. Grakt, 75, Queen-ftreet. April 5, ISSi.

The weekly meeting of the Ponsonby Baptist Young Men's Mutual Improvement Association was held last evening. There was a good attendance of members and some lady visitors. The vice-president occupied the chair. A revised code of rules for the association was adopted and ordered to bo printed. The programme of the evening, which consisted of readings and recitations, was then gone through. Mr Martin Mac dermott read " Tests for Diamonds " from Rev. C. H. Spurgeen's popular work, entitled " The Bible and the Newspaper." Mr Alfred Collin's read "The Notary" from a recently published periodical. "Time" was the subject of a recita tion given by Mr F. M. Hay, which was followed by another recitation, namely, " Cicero's Exhortation to the Study of Eloquence," by Mr AVilliam Turley. Both the readings and recitations were given with considerable eft'ect.and well applauded. Criticism ensued and slight defects in posture, delivery, and pronounciation were pointed out with a view to future improve ment. The proceedings were opened and closed devotionally.

Oar Athlete's Verdict. BICYCLING. John Rolfe, Esq., champion bloyollst of Eng land and Australia, who at present is open to run a long-distance race with any bicyclist tot the championship of the world, gives his per sonal experience of the valuable properties ot St. Jacob's Oil, aa used by him in his recent contest with Jno. Watson for the championship ot Australia 268, Elizabeth-street North, Melbourne, Victoria, 23rd November, 1883. To the Editor Auckland Evenino Stab. Dear Sir,—l ..oslre to add my cheerful endorse ment of the good effects I have at all times re ceived from the use of St. Jacob's Oil when in active training and racing. During my recent 6 dayß' contest held in the Melbourne Exhibi tion Building for £500 and the championship of the Australian and adjacent colonies, it was my boon companion. I continually used it before and after each day's performance, and the re sults simply astonished me. After riding for 8 consecutive hours each day, viz., from half-past 2 until half-past 10, my limbs would become sore and stiff from over-exortion, but after being vrell-rubbed with the oil all muscular pain immediately vanished and I felt as fresh us ever. As proof positive,alter the contest waa over, I rode 10» miles against time before a pub lic audience and accomplished it in 6 hours 11 minutes <ljH seconds. Another application of St. Jacob's Oil was made, and it removed all feel ings of fatigue and I felt perfectly fit 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 othor 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 Mossra Boyle and Scott, Cricket and Football Dep6t, Melbourne, Victoria.—" St. Jacob's Oil re lieved mo at once of pain. I commend it to all footballers and cricketers." AQUATICS. EDWARD TRICKETT, Esq., one of the world's greatest oarsmen.—" I have found St. Jacob 8 Oil a sure and certain cure." GENUINENESS GUARANTEED. ST. JACOB'S OIL CONQUERS PAIN. IT CURES RHEUMATISM, NEURALGIA, HKADACHK, TOOTHACHE, BACK ACHE, AND ALL SIMILAR AiLMENTS. A cash reward of £100 will bo paid by the CHARLES A.
