creased her canvas by the addition of a ring-tail and watorsail, and tho Mahurangi very soon followed by sheeting out her watersail. Tho others wore much slower in availing themselves of the fair breeze in this manner. Approaching tho North Shore \Vharf, the Mahurangi had the load for a moment, but only a moment. The Euphemia bore down upon and ran past her beautifully, the Henry following into second place. The Gannet, keeping closer in shore, had a better position, and approach ing the pilot schoonor, sho took second place. The North Head was rounded in the following order: —Euphemia, 1 ; Gan net, 2 ; Henry, 3 ; Mahurangi, I. Opening out into the channel, the Gannet was gain ing on tho first boat, and tho Mahurangi oh tho third. The Mahurangi gradually recovered her lost ground when the boats were well out in the channel, and instead of fourth she soon had second. When they again hovo in sight, the Euphemia waii leading, with the Mahurangi close after her Working up the harbour, the contest was a very good ono. Several boards brought tho boats to the mark - boat oil' Kauri Point. The Euphemia got first round, but tho Mahurangi was close on her heels, the Henry and Gannot boinir a long distance astern. Passing tho flagship on the north ern side, the positions were—

Euphemia ... llhrs. 55in. Osec. Mahurangi ~, llhrs. 50m, lOsec. The race at this stage really lay between tho Euphemia and Mahurangi, tlioir com panions being over a mile astern, and doing very badly. At one o'clock tho Euphemia was working up tho harbour with a good lead, the Mahurangi being some distance behind.

Soon after this, the Mnhurangi got a Klightlead, but the Euphomia ere long re covered the ground she had lost. Rounding Kauri Point' first, the Euphomia was close pressed all the way by the Mahurangi. The finish was a splendid one, tho Mahurangi's bowsprit being lovol with tho Euphemia's mainmast, and scarcely a Becond difference being observable within the two. The race concluded :— Euphemia, lhr. 52m. Osecs 1 Mahurangi, lhr. 52m. lsec 2 The others were a long distance behind, Fifth Race. Large YAcnT Race, over 7 tons. First prize £50, and Cup (presented by Mr F. H. Lewisson), valued at £7. and Champion Flap (presented by the Misses Isaacs); second prize, £20; third prize, £8. Course: From south Bido of Flagship round Mark Boat off ltnngitoto ltecf, thence round hulk "Clara Hargraves," off Judge sßay, thonce round Mark Boat ofTKauri Point. Twice round. Entries: Arawa(J. L. It. Bloomlichl), 7} Urns; Ilita (T. Henderson), 12 tons; Muriatai (SO, H. Street), 12 tons.

Up to tho time of starting this race there was great speculation as to tho result, each %O33elliavingmany fanciers. The Rito.itmay be remembered, was built by Bailey about two years ago to boat the Torea, which she did very easily. Tho Arawa shortly appeared on the scene, havintrbcen built by Logan to order of Mr Bloomfiekl. She met tho Rita at the Auckland Regatta of 1532, when the raco resulted in a victory for tho Arawa, with Rita socond, and Christana (Williams's fishing yacht) third. After this, however the Rita was altered considerably by the addition of load btllast, &c, in future con tests, completely turning tho tables on her antagonist. Last year the Muritai, also from Logan's yard, made her appearance. Mr Stroet intended to cuter her for the Regatta, and it was thought that she would easily carry oft'the prize, but through some misunderstanding sho was not entered. •2'o-day she appeared for the first time as a facer, haying-been put in oxccllent trim in expectation of a tough contest. Although iupon this occasion sho was generally fancied, faoating men considered her chance of winning a yery poor one, she having proved herself very slow except on a doad beat with plenty of wind. The boats were sent away with a flying start and well together. The Muritai was first underway, with tho Rita second and Arawa lust. Bell soon brought the latter to tho fore and led down the har bour, the ttita and Muritai sailing side by side until abreast of tho North Shore Wharf. Here both Logan's yachts carried great spinnakers, and it was not until some time afterwards that tho Rita followed the example in this respect. Directly she folt ihe weight of her extra canvas she began to tlraw ahead of the Muritai, and when near tho North Head threatened to overtake the Arawa. There was very little difference between the three when the North Head was roundod, outward bound. Upon the vessels re-appearing around tho Heads after rounding the chequered buoy, the Muritai was observed to be loading, Rita aecond, and Arawa last. Their positions remained unaltered until rounding the hulk Clara Hargreuvcs, which was passed as follows :— Muritai llhrs. ISm. lOsec. Kita llhrs. 18m. 35sec. Arawa llhrs. 19m. lOsec. ' Immediately after passing this point the Muritai wont about and stood for the flag ship, while tho Rita and Arawa continued along the southern shore in slack water. The Rita went about just astern of the Triumph. This policy appeared to be an injudicious one, tho Arawa weathering her bofore she had passed the Railway Wharf, and taking up second position. Abreast of the flagship, on the way up to Kauri Point, the Muritai had a lead of about thirty seconds on the Arawa, a similar distance intervening between the Arawa and Rita. " Tho latter dropped astern gradually, the others making much better work of it. ' The Muri tai was round tho Kauri Point buoy nearly a minute ahead of tho Arawa, and the Rita's position had not improved in t'lo slightest degree. Setting their "spin nikers," the Muratai and Arawa ran down the harbour beautifully before a slashing south - westerly. Again the Rita lost ground through a singular and inex plicable delay in sotting her "spinnaker." The flagship was passed on tho run down the harbour in the following order :— Muritai 12hrs. 22m. 2-isec. Arawa ~, ... 12hrs. 25m. ssec. Rita ,„ ... 12hre. 26m. 33sec. Favoured by a splendid press of canvas, the Muritai was still increasing her lead on the run down to the boat in Rangitoto Channel. Admiration was exprossed on all hands at tho really skilful handling of tho Muritai and Arawa. There -was no change in posi tion when the boats disappeared round the North Head, Their return was awaited with anxiety, and ore long the Muratai again hove in sight, still keeping o° good lead. It was • soon discovered that a change had taken place in the interval —tho Rita now having second place, whilo the Arawa was a good third. Working up the harbour the Muritai was showing" splendid weatberly qualities, and holding her own on every point. Going around the Kami Point buoy for tho last time, the Muritai had still a good lead of about eight minutes. The Rita and Arawa were close together, the former rounding first. On tho run home, the Muritai gained still furtbor on her opponents, and won with nine minutes to spare, tho race finish ing as follows :—••-, Mauvitai ... 2hra, 12m, 4sec, 1 : Rita 2hra 21m. lOsoc, 2 Arawa ... 2hrs. 22m. Ssec. 3 Sixth Raco. Yachts and Fishing Boats, i to 7 tons.— First prize tlO, and Star Cup (presented by H. Hrett, Eaq.), valued at £10, and Flag (presented by Captain J. McKenzie); second prizo, £5; third prlzo. £3. Course: Samo as fourth race. Entries: Magic (Fisher and Sinclair), 13 tons; Jessie Logan (Wiseman nnd Wilson), 5J tona j Sea Gull (W. Knox), G lonB; Tawora (C. B. Stone). 6} tons; Toy (A. M. Sovorn), 5 tonB; Tamure (E. Mlteholson), 5 tona.

The Magic was recognised as a former twenty four feet open sailing boat which ran many races in company with the Shrimp, but which was last year decked ovor, and thus made eligible for entry as a yacht. The Jessie Logan and Toy were not strangers either, each having won many former races at our regattas—the latter, however having secured all her victories as an open boat. Tho other threo entries were almost stronger*, the yachts having been all turned out during the last six months. The Tomure, built by Bailey for Mr Mitchelson, M.H.B. ; the Seagull, built by Waymouth for Knox, the fisher man ; and the Tawera, built by Logan for Messrs Stone and White, wereall recognised as likeiy looking.-croft, and each had many supporters. The Tawera, being by far the lnr'ist yacht, and being built almost similar to the Arawa, was considered first favourite, while the Jessie Logan, Tamure, and Seagull were expected to make a hard struggle for second place. How far these conjectures proved correct will bo seen from the following par ticulars of tho race. The Magic being un: able to come to scratch in time.was allowed a start of about a hundred yards, tho others being sent away in a cluster. The Magic was followed by the Seagull, Toy, Tawera, and Jessie Logan all in a heap. The first to get ahead and out of the pack was the Seagull. The Toy followed, and these two kept abreast for some distance down the Viarbour. Before the North Head was reached, the positions had somewhataltered, that point being rounded in the following prfler : —Magic, 1; Jessie Loganj 2 ; Tawera, 3'■ Tamure, 4; Seagull, 5. Thence we proceeded around tho chequered buoy in Kangitbto Channel. On returning round the North Head the Magic was still ahead, but a long way to leeward, Tawera next, Jessie Logan third, and Seagull fourth, the Tawera was well to windward of all, and workirig tip the harbour she assumed first place, the Jessie Logan following Her fi ... I ■•!

The Kauri Point buoy was passed in this order, and running down the harbour the Tawcra was still gaining steadily on the others. Sho passed tho flagship going down the second timffwith a lead of fully seven minutes, tho Jessie Logan coming next, and being about three minutes ahead of the Seagull, which was third boat, the Toy being fourth, and Magic fifth. From this time, the only boat practically in the race was the Tawera, which was finishing before the others were well past the flagship going up. She won with sixteen minutes to spare. Tho raco con cluded in the following Older :— Tawera 2h. 17m. 3s.—l Jessie Logan ... 2h. 33m. 355.— 2 Toy 2h. 43m. 455.—3 Seagull 2h. 43m. 495.—4 Magic 2h. 44m. 2s.—. r > Seventh Race.

\ ACHTS under 4 tons. First prize, £5, and Cup (presented by Mr 11. Kohn). valued at *o: second prize, Xl: third prize, £1. Conrse: From south side of Flagship, roundSandspit Huovoir North Head, thence round hulk Clara liar graves oil' Judge's Hay, Ihence round mark boat off Kauri Point. Twice round. Kntries : Tui (H. Saumkrs). ■>': tons: Sybil (C'vurnmond and Fairs), 3.V tons : Comet (\V\ J. Philipsow. 2J tons ; Truant (Sanderson and Moore), 33 tons. The Sybil's spinnaker was not set on the run down the harbour, and the Truant made tho most, of this weak point, taking the lead. At two o'clock, when passing the flagship on tho second trip up, the Truant was fully half-a-mile to windward, the Sybil being second, Tui third, and Comet fourth.

Very little doubt existed as to the probable termination of this event—the pre vious victories of the Sybil making her the favourite, none of the other boats, barring accidents, having the least prospect of showing her tho course. The Truant she had beaten again and again, and she gave ovcry promise of repeating the perform ance. The Sybil was first underway, and led down the harbour, followed by the Till, Truant, and Comot in tho order given, doing up for tho last time, tho Truant was still ahead, with the Sybil a respectful dis tanco in tho rear. Hounding the Kauri point buoy, tho Truant came down before tho wind with a good lead still, and the race concluded — Truant ... 2hrs. 24m. 25socs.—1 Sybil ... 2hrs. 27m. Oseca.—2 Eighth Race.

Tho Penguin came in last, or rather, never finished, and yet was the only one of the throe that came forward upon the present occasion. If hor prospects of winning were small beforo, tlioy won) to-day decidedly worse, other entries comprising such boats as tho Bell and tho Ethel. The 801 l was built by Messrs Hewson and Melville a short time sines, and in her first raco hero with sevoral other good boats sho proved an easy winner. The Ethel was launched from Bailey's yard only on Saturday last, and her behaviour under canvas during tho brief interval between then and tho Regatta mado hor ono of tha favourites, and she was well backed to win. In this raco a Hying start was given, the Bell going off with a good lead. The Penguin soon dropped into second place, with tho Ethel third, and Swallow last. In this order they went a considerable distance over the courso. It soon became apparent that this race was a gift to tho Belle, which took a splendid lead, and held it for a long time. There was really no difference in the raco from this period until the finish, tho race concluding as follows : — Bell, 2hrs. 33m. 35seo 1 Ethel, 2hr.=. 51m. ISsec 2 Penguin, 2hrs. 52mins 3 Ninth Raco.

Second Ct.Asa Open Sati.ino Tloats.—First prize, £ 5, and Picture (presented by Messrs Sartsuod, Kwcn, and Co.), valued at £3: socond prizi:, £10; third prize, £4. Course: Same as seventh raco. Entries:—Transit, J. lieveridge; Observer, \V\ Marshall: Imp. M. McLcod; Dream. A. W. Farquliar; Qnccnic, J. Grey; Fay, R. Woodhcad.

The raco for twenty-foot open sailing boats, as in all previous Regattas, proved tho most interesting of tlio day. Unlike previous events, however, the list of com petitors was remarkablo foran absoncoof the duffers of past years, which have gradually dropped out anil have almost beon forgotten. Regret was expressed by many because of the absence of the Gertie anil Madgo. The former is for sale, and her ownor did not consider it worth his -while to get her ready, while the Madge was somehow left at Kaipava, where she had taken part in races very recently. Only one new boa! (the Dream) made her appearance. She U undoubtedly a pretty craft. She was built by Bigelow for W. Farquhar. junior, to beat everything of her class in existence, and up to tho time of starting it was fully expected that she would come up to re auirements. But she had numerous smart craft to sail against, and almost every boat in the list was fairly backed. The Transit and Imp came next in point of public favour, and the three were looked upon as likely to make a great struggle for first place. The Transit represented Messrs Hewson and Melville's handiwork, while the Imp was built by Bailoy several years ago, tho Observer by Waymouth, the Queenie by Matthews, and the Fay by a German resident of Kaipara. Although the latter beat tho Madge at a recent regatta at Dargaville, she was counted out of tho first three. The Transit was sailed by Sam Dove, Dream by W. Farquhar, Observer by W. Marshall, Imp by Ike Hunt, and Fay by Alf. Warbrick. As tho boats lay nioored in line abreast of the flagship, their merits were warmly criticised, and a great deal of money was wagered on the result. The signal for the start was given exactly at noon, and there was the usual hurry and bustle in getting on canvas. Leaving the flagship, the positions as they could best be picked out were as follows : —Transit, first; Queenie,second;lmp,third;Observer,fourth; Dream, fifth; and Fay last. There was a nice steady breeze all the way down, and the sight as the boats ran with outspread can vas was a very pretty ono. Passing Calliope Point, the Transit still had first place, while the Imp had replaced the Queenie as second boat, the Observer being third. Tho new dock was left behind in the following order: —Transit first, Imp second, Observer third, Quoenio fourth, Dream fifth, and Fay still last. The Transit and Imp, abreast of each othor then went away from their opponents, and rounding the buoy at the Sandspit, it could not be said that there was really three seconds difference between these two. Tho others followed all pretty well together in the rear. Bounding the Clara llargraves, the Imp was seen tor havo gained the foremost position, with the Transit second, and Dream third. Working tfp the harbour the Dream picked the Transit up, and these two passed the Imp. When abreast of the Queen, street Wharf a foul occurred between these two. The Dream was kept close in shore by her opponent, and the Transit, evidently endeavouring to weather her, ran her bowsprit foul of tho Dream's mainboom. Tho effect could not be basily seen from tho flagship, but it was believed that one of the boats was about to capsize ; these fears were soon dispelled by tho boat keeping on her course: The Dream was compelled by the foul to partly lower her mainsail, and when it was hoisted again she still hold second placo. This occurrence gave the Imp a chance to regain some of the lost ground, and she did not fail to tako advantage of it. Abreast of tho ilagship, going up, the order .was— Dream lh» 2m. 35sec. Transit H»r. 2m. r»ssec. Imp ... ••> lhr. 3m. Msec. The Fay was fourth. Working up to tho buoy, the Transit took the lead, and rounded the buoy first, with the Dream second, and Imp third. Passing tho Flagship on the socond run down, tho positions were j— Transit , lhr. 37m, Osecs.. Dream ... ~. lhr. 37»>- 4usecs, Imp third.

It now became apparent tliat this was the Transit's race. She worked up and rounded Kauri Point buoy, and then ran for the Flagship, tho Dream being suffi ciently far behind to give her no chance of regaining the position unless favoured by some special and unlooked-for circumstance. The Transit eventually won, the race resulting as follows :— Transit •■■ 2hr. 59m. 35sec—1 Dream ••■ 3hr. lm. ssec—2 j mp 3hr. Bm. Ogee—3 Tenth Baco. Third Class Open Sailing RACE.-Firet prize £8, and Picture (presented by Messrs i'rgood JBwen and Co.), valued at £3; second Srize £4; third prize, «2. Course: From Flag- Rule J. P. PoßthlewaigM; Vie, C. Bailey; Demon J. Keltoher;. JJovbnport, J. lunsey ; Spray, k Mills; Kll, U. Warman. Quito an unusual number of new craft appeared as competitors for this event, and cave promise of a- hard straggle with the old "cracks'! Spray and Ely. The^ic, built by C. Bailey, jun., and Tip, by Holme?, iun were each greatly fancied, and were about' evenly backed with: the; Spray and Ely for first and;-second honours." The course in this event lay up the harbour, and the competitors all lay in the position *hicb

best favoured a board across to the Queen street wharf. At 12.30 p.m. tho gun fired, and canvas was spread with remarkable rapi dity. Tho Ely got the best of the start, and sho mado the most of it. Standing over to the southern slioro, she was closely followed by the Spray, tho Tip being next. The Vie, which had gone oil'on theother tack, joined lie; opponents oil' the Queen-street Wharf, and took third places. Proceeding up the harbour from the wharf, the Ely had a very good lead, with the Spray second, Vie third, Tip fourth, and Demon fifth, the Devonport following. The Tip proved un equal to the task of retaining the advantage she had gained, and she dropped out of the fourth place. The Ely working splendidly up the harbour, rounded the buoy first, with the Vie second, tho Spray third, and Demonfourth. This order wasmaintained on the run down tho harbour first time past the flagship. Ely was leading well, the Vie giving every indication that sho would make a struggle for it, and Mills chasing them down the harbour "all ho knew now." The Demon was a bad fourth.

Demon ... 2hrs. ."Kim. Osecs —t The remainder of this race may be said to be without excitement. The Ely proved herself quite equal to tho task of hold ing her own under the circumstances, and sho did so right well. About four minutes separated her from tho Vie until tho finish, about the samo distance intervening between the Vie and Spray, which was third. Tho race finally concluded :— Ely 2hrs. 13m. 41sec. Vie 2hrs. 17m. SOsee. Spray 2hrs. 22m. lOsec. Eleventh Race. Merchant Sailing* Vessels' Gics, 1 oars and coxswain.—First prize, filO, and Time Picco (presented by Mr A.

This event created a great deal of excite ment amongst tho fairer portion of the spectators. All four boats game to the post, and when tho signal was given tho Opawa got away with the lead, the Stanley second, Antares third, and Turakina fourth. These positions had not altered when the com petitors appeared round tho Lark. Pass ing the Railway Wharf, on the way back, the Stanley put on a spurt, and passed the Opawa, which still kept second place, while a similar effort on the part of the Turakina men carried them ahead of the Antares. There was no further change, and tho raco resulted — Stanloy 1 Opawa 2 Turakina ... ... ... ... 3 AntarCß... ... ... ... ... 4 Twelfth Race.

The whalepoat race promises to he ono of the most important items in our Regatta of tho future. Tho boats entered comprised two by the Waitomata Club, ono of which was their own boat, and the other a whaleboat belonging to tho Saint George's Rowing Club. Tho former was built by Bailey, and the latter by Clear. The other two craft included boats con structed by White, of Mercury Bay, and Warcrick, of Aucklond. White's boat was rowed by a Ponsonby crew, nnd Warbrick's boat by a mixed crew, most of the men being from Kaipara. An exciting contest was ex pected and eventuated. The following were the crews :—Ponsonby : J. Brown, bow ; G. White, 2; Letham, 3 ; A. White, 4; Smith, stroke; Miller, steer oar, Florence: C. Murphy, bow; H. Brown, 2; W. Brown, 3 ; .T.

EIGHT HOURS DEMONSTRA TION AND SPORTS.

The sports wore carried out undor tho follow ing super in tendoncu:—Membors of sports com mittee : Messrs Hunter, Baker, Manders. Noy lon, McKinney, Kelly, and Horning. Handi cappora: Messrs Forder and Twohill. Director of Games: Mr King. Starter: Mr Leydon. Judges: Messrs Iseylon, Hunter, Kelly, Williamson, and Stanloy.

The annual demonstration in connection with the Eight Hours organisation came off to-day, and was in every respecta marked success. Accordant to programme, those intending to take part in the Demonstration assombled at an early hour at the junction of Queen and Grey streets, and being formed in processional order and headed by the Garrison Band, tho long array of associated trades moved off down Queen-street, then along Customs-street West, up Albert and Hobson streets, etc., making a circuitous detour to reach the Domain, where the sports were announced to take place. Along its rout 3, tho procession was witnessed by crowds of spectators, and was occasionally and heartily cheered by many who evidently sympathised with its object, though for various reasons not taking part in it. The order of procession was as fol lows :—l'aintors, bricklayers' labourers, boiler-makers, ironworkers, engineers, blacksmiths, bricklayers, and plasterers. The Banners. A conspicuous featuro in tho display was provided by the various banners displayed at the head of the different trades. Most prominent, of course, was tho large new Demonstration ; banner, which £ attracted much notice and called forth universuf'ad iniration. This is a large square banner beautifully painted on both sides. On the obverse ie a pictorial representation of a clock, with the figure "8 " writ largo in the centre, while overhead is tho scroll "United we stand, divided wo fall." Flankingtho devicoof thoolook, and occupy ing tho lower portion of tho banner, are pictures of a bed-room and a billiard-room,, which are moant to depict "rest" and " play " respectively, while on the top are pictures representing "work." On tho reverse side of the banner there is a further i attempt to realise the old rhyme— Eight hours' work, Klght hours' play,' Right hours' sleep. And e(gl|t shillings a day. Tho device of tho clock - dial is re: peatod, only that it is surrounded with the words "\yprk, Rest, Play," the large figure "8" being, Of course, intended to be read before each of these. The legend which surmounts this side of the banner is " United to Protect our Interets." The general offecfc of the whole is most striking and appropriate, the idea being carried out with much skill.

Following this came the banner of the painters—a beautiful by executed picture in tho centre, with the motto "We Strivo to Adorn" in the scroll above. The brick; layers labourers displayed a banner with the name of their craft and an illustration of brickbuildjng. One banner did fluty for the boilennakers, ironworkers, engineers and blacksmiths, whoße united handicrafts were represented' in pictorial fashion. The Bricklayers' Society and tho "ornamental plasterers" each displayed a banner|also, with appropriate device and inscription. There was room to remark on the meagre nature of the turn-but of the representatives of the differenttrades, In no case werethere more than fifty following one banner,' and in some cases the number was as low astwerity; but these, of course, <$& not ;by any means represent the s&eugth',' actual or relativej'qf the different trades. This'is ah "inevitable result of having the demonstration on a general holiday, when the* tastes and asso

cialions of many load them elsewhere, but at. the same time there might be a little more of a kind of esprit tie corps in regnrd to such mi important question as tlmtwhich was to-day being celebrated. The Sports. When tho procession reached tho Domain Cricket Ground, the gathering, with the crowd following the procession and tho larjfa number who had preceded it to the place of rendezvous, numbered several thousands. The sports were at once entered upon with vigour, the following events being decided up to the tiino we went to press : — Bov.s' Race, under 10 years; 120 yds handicap.—lst prize, concertina value £1, presented by Hoffman and Sons, A.

TEMPERANCE DEMONSTRA TION.

Tun members of tho various totalabstinence societies formed in procession at 9.30 o'clock at the top of Hobson-street, and marched under their respective leaders to tho Domain, according to prescribed route. Tho soeioties, however, were not largely re presented, as numbers did not take part in the procession, mid many had joined picnic parties. The Onehunga Band was fore most, playing a number of lively airs, whila each society had its representative banner. Tho following are tho societies and numbers in tho inarch :—Bands of Hope, 'A')o ; Auckland Total Abstinonco Society, ;iO;Rechabite.s(jiivoiiilesaiidadults), GO; Blue Ribbon Army, GO; Salvation Army, 120. The various soeioties were largely augmontod in the Domain. Tho weather was exceedingly favourable, and by 12 o'clock thousands had congregated under tho trees to witness tho attractive sights and sounds.

Sin Wat. Fox.—At half-past cloven, a cart was drawn under the trees in a central part of the Domain, and being properly fixed, Sir Win. Fox, Mr Joseph Newman, Mr Brarao, and Mr Goldie mounted amid a crowd of about'2oopersons. Mr JosephNew mmi opened tho meeting, as Chairman, by giving out tho temperance hymn, 125—"0h; my comrades." The Chairman then spoke at somo length on tho present and probablo futuvopiospoctsof the temporancocauKO, and considered that this was the mo*t succees. ful anniversary of which total abstainers could boast. Citizens were now in tho en joy montof greater commercial, religious, and political advantages than they over before possessed ; prosperity was seen, in evory di rection ; and the Blue Ribbon Army was the mblcst stop of all. Mr Brame was the next speaker, and referred to various advancing eigns of progress Sir William Fox was received with shouts of applause, and in a vehement and enthusiastic address reviewed tho cause in its various aspects in America and the colonies, showing that the peoplo possess tho power to sweep away much of the ovils associated with the drink traffic, if they would only use the power effectively. Sir Win. Fox sat down amid loud cheers. On tho motion of the Chair man, seconded by Rev. W. S. Potter, a vote of thanks was carried to Sir Win. Fox by acclamation. The party then retired to the provision tent outside the enclosure for refreshment.
