N.Z. RIFLE ASSOCIATION.

Presentation of Prizes,

The presentation of prizes to winnew at the late meeting of tho N.Z.R. Association took place last evening at the Theatre Royal. There was a considerable attendance of Volunteers, but very few of the general public graced tho proceedings with their presence. The Garrison Band was in at tendance, and when Major Baillie handed tho bolts to the champions, "The Conquer ing Jfero" was appropriately performed. The only speech was a brief one by Major Baillie. Ifo said he had requested His Worship the Mayor to make the presenta tion, but a prior engagement had precluded him from complying. He referred to the wholesome spirit of emulation engendered by these competitions, and speaking of tho shooting, remarked that there had boon bettor. The carbine belt was a now one, the old trophy having become the absolute property of Lieut. Uordon, of thoThamcs. Tho riflo belt had boon all round the colony, and would no doubt travel further. Ho thanked Mr Stevens and those associated with him for the assistance given, and in conclusion thanked the Auckland Garrison Band and Major Shepherd, tho officer com manding tho district, for their attendance. He thuii called for threo cheers for the Mayor and citizens of Auckland, which was heartily responded to by tho Southern re presentatives. A similar compliment was paid to Major Baillie, and the proceedings terminated.

MINING NEWS.

[BY TELEGRAPH. —OWN CORRESPONDENT.]

Thames, this day. Qvkkn* or Beauty.—At a meeting of Thames County Council yesterday, it was agreed to remit the cliargo for water sup plied to tho Company sinco its formation, nticl henceforth charge at tho rate of £9 per week, or the cost of three sluice-heads, though about seven are used. The Com pany cannot therefore complain of want of liberality on the part of the local body. Dekp Level Cross.—The leader in the drive at (MO-feet level was broken down to day. It is about 3 inches wide, and showed no gold, though the quartz has not lost anything of its promising appearance. New Diamond. —A crushing of three loads is being treated from the winze in this mine, and is expected to yield payably. Deep Level Prospecting. Tho County Council has received a re quest from the legal manager 'of tho Cale donian Low Level Company that an appli cation is to bo made to Government for the use of one of the serviceable rbek drills in uso on the Southern goldfields, and also for monetary assistance towards the Deep Level tunnel undertaken. It has been decided to comply with the request, and from remarks mado by Jlr Gordon, Inspecting Engineer, there appears to bo every probability that tho application will be favourably enter tained. The County Council has received a Government promiso of a subsidy of two thirds of £1,000, estimated cost of extension of prospecting trade from Karangahaka to wards To Aroha.

Gold from Whangaroi,

LECTURE ON THE CATACOMBS OF ROME.

On Tuesday night Mr H. Exley delivered a most interesting and instructive lecture on the " Catacombs of Rome" in the New North Road Chapel. Mr Carthew occupied the chair and introduced the speaker, who, after explaining a few details, entered upon tho subject of the catacombs, relating how they were formed, the persona who occupied them, and the inscriptions to be found thero, all clearly pointing to the faithful. ness of the early Christians and the persecutions they had to endure. When tho early Christians were persecuted they used to flee to tho tombs, to be safe from their pursuers, who, not having the signs and passwords, could not gain ad mission ; and when there they had provisions sent down through shafts by thsir friends on the top who owned the land. Prisdlla, whom Paul mentions in the 16th chapter of Romans, was a very wealthy lady, and is supposed to have possessed a vast amount of land above tho catacombs, The inscriptions which the Christians had on these tombs all point out tho fact that they never thought thoro frionds had died, as tlio epitaphs read as follows :—"Sleep in Peace, "In Life," "Ho sleeps, but ho shall riso again," "Living to God," " Sleeping until tho Master calls." Mr Exley intends re-delivering this lecture in Auckland at no distant date. The above formed the first of a course of discourses to be delivered on Tuesday evenings in the Now North Road Chapel.

" It's a Wonderful Medicine, and has cer tainly dono mo good," is tho report of a lady who was suffering with oppressive breathing and distressing cough—the common symptoms in lung disease, Sho spoke of Aickin's Syrup of Eucalyptus with Hypophosphites of Lime and Quinine, as many others have done. It doeß not require faith. A little experience wiO prove its value to the sufferer. Address: " The Pharmacy," Queen-Btreot.

BICYCLING.

John Rot.fe, Esq., champion bicyclist of Enp- \ land and Australia, wlio at present 13 open to V run a long-dist.aneo race with any bicyclist for > the championship of tho world, gives his per- \ sonal experience of the valuable properties of St. Jacob's Oil, as used by him in hia recent contest with Jno. Watson for the championship of Australia

268, Elizabeth-street North, Melbourne, Victoria, 23rd November, 1883. To tho Editor Auckland Evening Stad.

Dear Sir,—l desire to add my cheerful endorse ment of the good effects I have at all times re ceived from tho use of St. Jacob's Oil when in active training and racing. During my recent 6 days' 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 beforo 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 becomo sore and stiff from over-exertion, but after beinc; well-rubbed with the oil all muscular pain immediately vanished and I felt as fresh aa ever. As proof posltive.af tor the contest was over, I rode 10u miles against time before a pub lic audienco and accomplished it) in G hours 11 minutes 45Jseconds. Another application of St. Jacob's Oil was made, and it removed all fool 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 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 Rolue. CItICKET.

I commend it to all footballers anil cricketers." AQUATICS, EDWARD TIUCKKTT, Esq., one of the world's greatest oarsmen.—" 1 have found St. Jacob a Oil a sure and certain cure."
