The score at 8.45 stood: Combined, 460 miles ; Edwards, 403 miles 10 laps.

An i.iquost was held on Saturday at Der van's Hotel, Frcomau's Bay, before Dr. Philson, Coroner, and a jury, on the body of Alexander Manley, who was found dead on tho morning of tho 4th inst. on the scow Ghost. Edward Morey was chosen fore man, and Sergeant Clarke conducted on the part of tho police. Captain Edward Piercy deposed that deceased had been employed as cook on board tho Ghost. Jis age was twenty-six. He had been subject to fits for many years—sometimes three or four in a day. They were preceded by shaking, giddiness, and foaming at the. mouth. Deceased was temperate in his habits, but was an inveterate smoker. He had felt unwell, and on Friday morning went on shore to consult the doctor of his Oddfellow's Lodge. He had a fit at one o'clock on tho morning of the 4th, and subsequently a moro seui's one, which left him in a state of unconsciousness, from which ho never recovered. He died at 3.45. Ho reported his death to Sergeant Clarke, of tho water police. Charles Hanson, a seaman, gavo similar evi dence. Sergeant Andrew Clarko de posed to examining tho body and having it conveyed to the residonco of the raotharof deceasedin Wellesloy-street West. Dr. J. 11. Honeyman was sworn, and minutely detailed the results ef a post mortem examination which ho made upon tho body. He had no doubt but that death was caused by sanguineous apoplexy. The jury found a verdict in accordance with the modical testimony.

CORRESPONDENCE.

Auckland Patriotlo Beer-drinkers.

(To tho Editor.)

Sib, —A patriot, I bolieve, is one who lores, supports, and defonds his own particular location on this world's surfaco, but Auck land's patriotic beer-drinkers may be defined as a peoplo solicitous for tho welfare of every provincial district in New Zealand but her own. This ordor is rather numerous throughout tho Auckland Provincial Dis trict juat now, there being many of them who find their chief pleasure in decrying tho beer-manufacturing establishments of their own town and seldom lose an oppor tunity of lauding those of the Southern districts, notably Dunedin. I do not supposo that tho brewing in dustry of Auckland is perfect, because porfoction in this world is out of the ques tion ; but there is no doubt that the beer produced from many of the breweries in Auckland is as good, and in many instances moro pure and superior to that imported from the Southern cities. Yet, what do we find day by day but many callingfora "long" or a "short" Dunedin? An instance of, this camo under by own observation la^t woefc in an hotel in Auckland, when an ex brewer entered, called for a "long" Dun edin, and was instantly supplied ; and when interrogated as to how he liked the quality, flavour, &c, he replied that it was a great pity our Auckland brewers could not produce an article of such excellent quality; and after further sounding its praise?, withdrew, after which a gentloman present was requested by the landlord to examine tho cask from which the beer was drawn, when it was found to belong to an. Auckland brower. Comment is needless; yet thero are hundreds of such cases daily. True, the flavour of-Dunedin beer differs in some cases slightly to that of Auckland, but that docs not constitute the Auckland manu facture an inferior article. For the last twenty-two years Auckland's worst enemies have been her own. people; they have allowed her to be robbed politically, financially, and otherwise. Not only have tho Southornors despised Auckland people, but also everything appertaining to it. l\ow tho tables aro turning—not through tho efforts of her people, but by her hidden treasures, vast resources, and geographical position demanding it. Let her own peoplo then aid her by assisting to develop her local industries in every con coh'ablo way, by which means employment will bo found for our youth, our city beautified and enlarged, and above all our money kept in circulation within our own provincial district, instead of sending it to peoplo who practise jeering at us when opportunity oilers — vide our footballers I being joored at during their victories in the ; lato interprovineial football matches ; our , Public Works Minister because ho |happens ;to belong to this city ; and lastly, their ' onvy owing to our getting a little Govern ment monoy spent, even though that littlo lis not a hundredth part of what we are 1 fairly entitled to.

In local industries, more especially in the brewing department, competition is so keen that there need be no fear as to the good quality oi the beer that will be produced. AJorcover, people now a days will not drink bad beer, for the simple reason that they can get plenty of good. It is therefore to be hoped that that pernicious system of calling for Dunedin beer will be abolished, and in future the local beverage substi tuted.—l am, &c, W. J. Suitbe.
