NOTES BY HIPPONA.

Tin: Victoria Racing' Club's Autumn Meet, ing opens at Flemington to-day, when tlio St. liS^or and Nev.inavkot Handicap, come up for decision, but tliero is little intercut attached to the former event, as it is looked upon as a foregone conclusion that Martini- Henry will have his name cnscrolled upon the list of winners. On Tuesday, tho Australian Cup will bo fought out, for which event wo aro informed by cable twenty havo made tho final payment, bir Martini-Henry has been withdrawn from the race, so that it is pertain his owner in tonds reserving him for tho great woight for-ago strugglo—tho Champion Stakes— run on Saturday next. In this event the son of Musket will lind two formidable opponents in Commotion and Navigator, but if his trainer lands him at tho post as fit as he did on Melbourne Cup day.. I am inclined to think that ho will pull through, although it must be admitted that lie has a Rovorc task set him. On Thursday and Friday next the Wan ganui Jockey Club Autumn Meeting takes place, and it bids fair to bo tho most suc cessful gathering yet. held there. The entries for the minor events are excellent, and the lot loft in the Cup being so much of a class, it will be surprising if it does not produce one of tho best contests of the season. The names of those that made the final payment and the imposts they will carry aro as follows : — si. lb. st.lb. TimWhlfller ..SB Buzzard .. ..7 0 Libeller .. .. 711 Uefrigorator .. ti 10 The Poet .. .. 710 Administrator .. li 10 Maori .. ~ ; o Ahaua .. .. 8 i) Bayard .. ..7 1 Wiiirareka .. ti II The Laird.. .. 7 3 Bluo Gown ..0 7 Normanby .. 7 1 Tim Whifflor, Bayard, Normanby, and Libeller aro most in demand for the event, and tho former's chance is looked upon as a vory favourable one by the knowing ones, but I am inclined to think that he has a bit moro to carry than he cures for. Bayard is much more to my fancy, and in his doings on the training track I learn that lie has been giving his supporters evory satisfaction, while Libeller should be well in it with his lenient impost. On his running in tho Marshall Stakes at Dunedin, The Poot also cannot be overlooked, bul. NormaYiby is so well handicapped that hi must be hard to beat, and I shall expect io sco cither him or Bayurd returned the winner.

My notes on the Dunedin Meeting aro held over until next weok.

"In Now Zealand, tho bookmaker's vocation is gone, and the totalisator reitfiis supremo." Theso are words that have been dinned in my ears times without number during the last wed; or two, and 1 think there is little doubt that such is the caso. At ono time tho s|)e<:ulation between the Southern inotallieiana, hoi'SO-ownors, and tho public on tho Dunodin Cup was some thing enormous, but owing to tho total isator all this is now o thing of the past, and tho littlo betting that took place (it tho recent meeting waR mostly con lined to the inotallieiana themselves. Mr Smder«is so disgusted at the turn things have taken that ho has decided upon leaving for Australia at tho end of tho present season, and two other prominent members of tho magic circle talk about doing liko wiso. Tho following aro tho amounts passed through tho totalisators at tho Dunodin Autumn Meeting :— First day £10.831 Second clay £9,555 Third day fiS.USI Total £29,007 This is tho largost sum ovor put through tho machines in tho Colony, and it is estimated that had the weather beon fine on the third day, tho amount would have con siderably exceeded £30,000. While in Christchurch, I was invited by " Robin Hood," tho well-known sweep pro moter of that city, to bo present at his dark seanc; on tho Dunedin Cup, so that on behalf of his many Auckland subscribers I could personally testify as to its genuine charactor. I -willingly assented, and having soon tho modus operandi of drawing, books, letters, names and addresses of winners for years past, etc., I hayo no hesitation in saying that thoso who invost with him may be sure that everything is carried out in a fair and square manner. " Robin Hood," it may bo mentioned, is an old Aucklander, and for many years also resided at tho Thames.

Libeller, Musketeor, and Chandler, were shipped to Wanganui in the early part of tho week, and Major George's pair Nelson and Wapiti were convoyed to Napier yesterday to fulfil thoir engagements at tho Hawke's Bay Jockey Club Autumn Meeting, which takes place on the 17th and 18th of the present month.

Mr Vallanec informs mo that he and Mr Mason have definitely decided to dissolve partnership at tho end of tho soason, and sell oil' their training establishment at Yaldhurst and the horses they own. Their recent purchase Salvage is already under ofl'or.

Tho Musket—Yatlerina yearling colt that Mr J. Bennett purchased from Mr Walters a few weeks ago was shipped to Sydney by the Ringarooma on Wednesday last. I understand that he is to be placed in Mr F. Wentworth's stable thero, so tlioro need bo no fear that he will not have full justice done him. Mr J. Enko will not return to Auckland until next month, lie having decided to attend tho Wanganui and Napier Meet ings. Tho I'apakura races havo been tixod to take place on St. George's Day, "J3rd April, and tho promoters, at whose head is Mr Percival, have drawn up a very nice little programme. There nro six events to be decided, tho principal of which aro the Papakura Cup of SO.soys., 1 ; J miles, and the Hurdle? of CO soys,, 2 miles. Nominations for the two races close on tho 10th of April.

At Mr Town's recent sale, a Dunedin sportsman named Mr Strode bought five yearlings with the intention of racing them in New Zealand, but after, bringing them over he changed his mind, and they were brought under Ihe hammer at Dunedin on Saturday morning last. On the scoro of thoir breeding little fault could bo found, but in appearance they wore rather an ordinary-looking lot. Tho bay or brown (illy by Rapid Bay out of Misfortune, one of tho plain sort with plenty of strength, fell to the nod of Mr Surnian. of Invercar gill, for 9S guineas, mid Mr Ilazletl, of Dunedin(owner of Taiaroa.Captain Webster, and other well-known horses), gavo 111 guineas for a roomy-looking filly by Mari byrnong out of Telopea. Aftor a lot of com petition, Dr. Prins, of Christehurch, secured the Grand Flaneur—Sudden Thought filly for 131guine's, and Mr McKenzie, of Dun stan, gave 8 ' guineas for a bonutiful-bred filly by Gr ni Flaneur out of Scraps (dam of Morceau), by Lord of the Hills (imp.) out of Ragpicker (sister to Sylvia) by Fisherman (imp.) out of Juliet, imp. (dam of Chrysolite, Benvolio, Tho Hook, and

many others), by Touchstone. The Rapid Bay—lllumination colt was bought in by his owner.

The Onehunga Racing Club are again to tho fore witli a meeting to take place on Saturday, the 29th March.- The pro gramme comprises a Hurdlo Race of 30 sov3 ; Maiden Plate of 20 soys ; Onehunga Cup of CO soys; Novel Race of 20 soys; Publicans' Purse Handicap of 20 soys; Pony Raco of 20 soys; and Consolation of lOsov.?. Nominations for the Cup, Hurdles, and Publicans' Purse close on the 15th March.

It is said that Mr C. C. Murray, of Napier, intends leaving New Zealand for England at tho close of the present season, and the whole of his horses, with the exception of Mischief, will be offered for sale.

The following highly bred mares have arrived safely from England to the order of Mr A. Town, of Richmond, New South Wale,, :—Petrea, by Hermit from Adrastea ; Fairy Queen, by Tho Minor from Fairy Footstep ; and Banksia, by Wild Oats from Steppe. Petrea is in foal to Coltness; Fairy Queen to Syrian ; and Banksia to Exminstor.

The Sydney Cup nominations number 74, out of which 52 belong to New South Wales, IS to Victoria, 2 to South Australia, and 2to Queensland. Mr Do Mestro's name does not appear amongst tho nominators. Mr J. A. Lang's King of tho Vale, who haw long been expected to win a big raco, got homo first in the Hobart Cup and Denrent Plato the other week, beating moderate fields.

The Canterbury Jockey Club have re solved to alter tho terms of tho next Now Zealand Cup race as regards the payments from the stakes to the placed horses. These amounts have been doubled, the second horse now receiving 200 soys, and tho third ](>(> soys. Nominations closo to-night (Saturday).

NEW WESLEYAN CHURCH FOR NORTHCOTE.

A iiiiHiKd was hold in tho Northcote Wesleyan Church on Thursday evening for tho purpose of discussing tho subject of a new and more commodious building. The present church was erected about three years ago, but in this short space of time has become too small for the requirements of tho pooplc. After devotional exercises, the Kcv. G. W. J. Spence rose to explain the business which had brought them together. Ho said that for a considerable time they had felt the need of increased church accommodation, and that their present position necessitated them to take immediate steps towards providing what was required. Not only did they find great difficulty in making the worship pers: comfortable, but their Sunday school work was also seriously hampered. Seeing, then, that the congregations were growing, and the district advancing, he thought it was their duty to take this matter up with the least possible delay. So far as tho necessary funds were concerned, he believed there was nothing to fear if only they made a united and vigorous effort.—Mr "Wilson and Mr John Johnstone expressed fears that the congrega tion were not able to undertake such largo responsibilities at present.— Mr Frank Mitchell, in a neat speech, then moved, " That a suitable church be erected without delay, provided tho necessary amount can be raised."—This was seconded by Mi- Wilson, and supported by Mr Picker ing, and when put to tho meeting was carried unauimously.—A few practical speeches followed, which resulted in pro mises to the amount of £82. —Four ladies were appointed to canvass the friends who were unable to be present, after which tho meeting separated, every one feeling that the matter had received a hearty and libarul start, which, if taken up by the friends generally, will result in the erection of a place of worship suited to tho present and prospective wants of the district.

BOARD OF EDUCATION.

A mkbtino of this Board was held yesterday afternoon. Present: —Messrs Luke (chair), Cooper, Goldio, Carr, Buckland, and Mc- Kenzio.

Minutes.—Tho minutes of tho previous meeting wore read and .confirmed. Chairman's Report.—This report was brought up and adopted, viz., that Mis.~ Kdith Shortt, pupil teacher, had been transferred from Wellesley-street to Devonport; that the Committee liavo Ijaon furnished with copy of applica tion made to police in January for census of school-children at Tauranga; leave of iib.>ence granted to Mr McArthur, principal of tho Training Collego, two days' illness ; cheques signed, and other matters of minor importance.

Mr Cark's Motion.—This motion was adjourned until tho next meeting at the request of Mr Moss, who i« in tho Waikato, as that gentleman expressed a wish to be present and speak to the motion.

Au-kokd Pkrskcutton.— Mr R. Stewart, of Cambridge, wrote complaining of perse cution from certain persons on account of hia efforts to protect the property of the Board. Mr Buckland admitted that com plainant was a good teacher, but even his own frionds said that ho was a source of troublo at Hamilton.—lt was finally re solved that three months' salary and notice of tho termination of his engagement at Cambridgo bo given. Newton East.—The appointment of Head-master to this school was brought up, and Mr Richard Coates was unanimously appointed to till that position. I'onsonby.— A long letter was received from Mr A. Dovoro, Chairman of the l'onsonby School Committee, in which the following questions were asked: —(1) Aro any negotiations now pend ing for tho purchase of any land as a playground for the l'onsonby Public School ? (2) How much has ncorucd for interest on the £1,000 since received by your Board, and whore and when deposited, at.what rate of interest, and on,what account? The letter was deferred for consideration at the next meeting of the Board. Committee's Report.—This report was deferred until the return of Mr Hobbs, the Chairman.

CORRESPONDENCE.

Tho Dock Engineer.

(To the Editor.)

Sißj—Havingobservod in one of your reoent issuoii tho action taken by our worthy ex- Mayor in the appointment of Engineer, also tho lottor of " Merchant" last evening, accusing the Harbour Board of petty cor ruption, although ho says that tho under taking is of vast interest, I am of opinion these pcoplo must have some iittlo tiddle winking on the boards. I read that the gentleman who is appointed had seven voles,- the next had threo, and then some others had one. Now, what on earth could bo plainer than that ? Tho officer elected is ii gontloman well-known for his ability in carrying out works of magni tude .in this district ;is thoroughly acquainted with our local materials, together with having constructed the small dock already here. And I am quite stiro that job would have been far more thorough had ho been left alone by tho powers then in office. Yes, sir, I feel proud to think that ourintolligent members in l!ic Board have done tho right thin"-, find in such a largo majority too. I have found in my travels through the world that the old statement "a prophet has no honour, tkc," is too true, at least with some pcoplo. Trusting tho members of the Board will be firm, and stand to the resolu tion in this matter, and boing against my grain to slander a man bohind his back, I subscribe my namo,

Geokoe Wilson. Contractor, Nelson-street, February 2S,

Vigilance Committee.

(To the Editor.)

Sil:,— Which is tho most "un-English"— the vigilance of a number of persons who " seek not their own, but others' good," or that cursed selfishness which impudently defies tho law, turns men into worse than beasts, and robs innocent dexiendonts of the commonest rights? With the number of police at disposal it is impossible to trap these wary game, who, having an evil purpose, compass it by means never thought of by tho law-abiding publicans, You say, " No man who obeys the law would suffer injustice by having his premises watched." Where the injustice to him who breaks the law, simply because it is witnessed by a citizen in black or tweed instead of the man in blue V We fail to see anything unfair or un-English in such a, proceeding

If the law is observed, no report, if violated, i.c, a number of people obviously residents in the neighbourhood seen going in Sunday after Sunday, and such testimony supported by respectablo persons in the neighbourhoods, what reason able objection can be raised ? It is simply an extension of " local option," the people, ■ not the police, saying, "This is a lawless house; shut it up; wo won't have it amongst us." Of course, if rabid temper ance people are going sneaking about bent on getting up a case because Jane's yount* man or the proprietor's fifty-second cousin were seen going in, then write the thing down as a "wrong that needs resistance." There appears to be considerable concern lest any harm should befal refractory Boni face. We think the time has come when that concern should be transferred to the unhappy victims of his long and flagrant violation of laws both human and divine. The result of last week's elections bespeaks society'sintoleranceofthe " savagery"which long ere this should have been swept away . that is, if the denominators, humane and Christian, are anything more than name 3. Don't let us provo traitors to the scores of wives and others who have " taken heart again,' and hope for some of tho comforts • and peace which belong to the temperance homo. Auckland has set itself to tho noblest work that man can do. It has awoke to its obligations!. The condition of the drunkard's home, its inmates have at last found a hearing, and shall we not all be the better for it. If it is true that it is more blessed to give, than receive, universal advantage must follow. Yew ;to Boniface and the Exchequer as well,—Yours, &c, R. Mokley. [Our correspondent states tho point at issue rather vaguely. If a man who does not violate tho law suiters no injustice by having his premises watched, assuredly a law-breaker cannot bo wronged by being subjected to the eamo ordeal. It is not tho manner of detection that ia im pugned, but tho manner of convic tion. Sobriety would be dearly bought by substituting Star Chamber systems of trial and condemnation for thoright which every Englishman now enjoys of knowing, and rebutting if ho can, the offence alleged against him and the evidence by which it is supported. We must not do wrong with the expectation that [right will come of it. Nor do we believe there is any necessity in this case for setting aside the judical processes of the country. It would not bo so very difficult to obtain legal convictions for breaches of the Licensing Act if the work were gone about in earnest; and much as we may suspect the past earnestness of tho police and magistracy in punishing these notorious offences, we do not doubt that if their attention were drawn to any hotel answer ing to the description given by our corres pondent, they would find means of enforcing the law and its penalties.—Ed. E.S.]
