Dear Sir,—l desiro to add my cheorful endorse ment of tho good effects I have at all times re ceived from the uso of St Jacob's Oil when in aotivo training and raoing. During my recent 0 days' contest hold In tho Molbourno Exhibi tion Building for £500 end tho championship of the Australian and adjacont colonies, it was my boon companion. I continually used it before and after each day's performance, and tho re sults simply astonished mo. After riding for 8 consecutive hours each day, viz., from half-post 2 until half-past 10, my limbs would become soro and still, from over-exortion, but aftor beine; well-rubbod with tho oil all muscular pain immediately vanished and I felt as fresh as c vor. As proof positive.af tor the contest was over, I rodo 100 miles against time before a pub lic audience and accomplished it in 6 hours 11 minutes 15} seconds. Another application of St. Jacob's Oil was made, and it removed all feel ings of fatigue and I f olt perfectly fit for another race. Am positive it aided me to win the match, and I shall never enter a similar conteßt without a bicycle and St. Jacob's Oil. I strongly advise oil " wheolmen " and other athlotes to givo it a trial, and feel fully eon. vinced their experiences will compare favour ably with my own. I remain, dear Sir, Yours truly, John Rowk. CRICKET.

CORRESPONDENCE.

Licensing Election.

(To the EditJbr.) Sir,—The result of the contest just con-"' eluded evidences tho desitfe of this com-' munity to have the liquor tiXaffic conducted^ within the four corners of \tho Licensing Act. Fully one-half the voteis recorded on" the L.V.A.'s ticket wero rocSsaded out of personal feelings to the gontlemenSchp.hav mg accepted the position of candidates/Vtaed^ their utmost endeavour to be returneela ( good many of whom, had they known the'> precise position they have been logically | placed, in would never haves tood as opposing the temperance platform on this occasion" ■ The temperance party's contention for | 10 o'clock closing last year was considered extreme. A year's hard plodding educa- ! tion has convinced the citizens that it i 3 * highly desirable to have such an extreme - measure. By the way, tho Licensing Act says, section 154: "Licensed premises' must bo closed on Saturday nights from 10 p.m. to Monday morning at 6 a.m On ' other nights from 10 p.m. till 6 a.m." next 11 morning except when extension of time is granted," so that all along we should have < had tho hotels closed nt 10 o'clock on Satur- -1 days. You hazard tho opinion that the ' temperance victory may be a curse to the "~~~ city, as it may drive tho drinking into sly grog shanties and infamous dons, carried on under cover of tobacconists' shops H s think you will admit that that is a ide issue; admittedly such evils now 1 exist, under al2 o'clock law. Tho citizens should, through tho City Council, inquiro how is it these abominations exist ? If they licenses billiard tables, and these are turned -- s into gambling hells, their licenses should be withdrawn. Tho result of this election shows that the people are just beginning to realise the fact that they, not the brewers have the supervision of this traffic. Let the public attention be fairly aroused to the advantages tho Act confers upon them, and the free-handed publican will soon find to his costthathecannotgetalongvery wellout. "; side the hwif he pleases. Take for instance' :' Sunday closing. The common evasion now is '■''•, to have communication from the urinal to the back door of tho public house. Troops of people pass through these conveniences returning more or less under the influence of drink, If the immediate residents would A under section 81, object to the renewal of licenses because conditions 3, 4, and 5 had been broken.no Bench would, on satisfactory ' '': evidence, renew such licenses. The people have nobly shown their wishes on the mattersthathavebeensubmittedtothem If < as unitedly they will move, both police and magistracy will be necessitated to do their duty. Auckland has in the most unmistake able manner spoken; it will be well for all in. terested to so use their weeks of grace be- ' tween now and the annual licensing meet ing as that, by the fulfilment of their voluntarily assumed conditions, they may expect the renewal the law permits. Tbfire V is rejoicing in hundreds of homos in this city over the prospect of the future. I will conclude this rather lengthy letter with the ; ■"■ hope that all classes of the community will cordially unite to realise the Hon. W E Gladstone's definition of the law, making it easy to do right, hard to do wrong.-! tin, 'i '% etc -> Southern Cross. '-'■■'_

Licensing Elections.

(To the Editor.) Sir,—The startling statements that have been made as reasons for tho early closing 'V of hotels have really frightened me, for I am a stranger in Auckland, and of a very quiet and reserved temperament, and it ;I really grieves me and makes my heart sad ':'■!'• to think it is my lot to have to live in ono of the drunken cities in the world, for it would appear that the chief reason given %m for the closing of hotel bars at ten o'clock solely is, that by keeping open until twelve a large number of men get drunk. Ido not know ono city in the world that I closes its hotels at ten o'clock; but I have been in States where no drink in the way of '- spirits is sold, and I shall relate a little experience in going through one of theso: !. I was travelling by train, and as it neared a State where no drink could be obtained, everybody on board kept saying, "Come, i let us have a smile (equivalent to your ; nobbier), as after the next two stations w§ cannot get anything to drink for a day."- I And I can assure you, by the time wf "k arrived at the last station, everybody had smiled too often. Not, there was a wise | man on board, and he said, " Ypur throats j will be parched all day to-morrow." Tho law prevents you from buying drink in thfe part of the world, but it does not prevent you from buying sufficient to last yon through the spiritless State. Men are- V grown-up boys, and the whisky burned in their pockets. The bare knowledge that it could not be bought for lore or money gave them the addi- . tional feeiing of enjoying the prohibited pionnivo. ond alas for poor humanity ! they ; : 1 .- : mU i. : ..-. .!;«;> v:a gborf: for them. I was the only esoeptiwi, and why . because I am.*! oiviiisui and know wnat. ia good for me. I V believe' the majority of the people of Auck- I land are like myself, but a few good cife us '' would say to us, " You do not know what is A good for you, and we will therefore close the* 9 hotel-bare and put you all to bed at ten 9 o'clock, like so many naughty children, V to prevent you becoming like the loafirs jM and drunkards who frequent public-houses' :M at night." Is there a man foolish onough to think that theso few poor and degraded , specimens of humanity will be reclaiinrf 1 from their easy but disgiaceful life by the 7 closing of hotel bars at ten o'clock—that . ' being the chief reason given by the 7 "Herald"for so doing? We have heard a f^eat deal of ono side of tho case ; now for , another side. Are there so many drunkards M in Auckland in comparison to the number I of men who, on a cold and rainy winter's night, may bo prevented from getting a drink in a respectable hotel! Have you takeninto consideration what other resources __ may be open to them I While the hotel bars '-iff are left open until twelve, people will be no 1 , better nor worso than thoy are at pregent, and although they are not as perfect as wa I could wish them to be, you cannot make men virtuous by insisting on an early closing movement. Before you close th» '• 9 hotel bars think well what you aro doing, and pause ore it is too late. For by tlmt act I prophecy you will bring rnih Msm hundreds of your sisters and disgrace to , your brothers, physically and morally. Do not shut your eyes to tho fact A that your young men and the ' Strangers who visit this city will not go _ to bed quietly at ten. They will be forcw - 1 to go to places, whore they can get drink . andcompanionship. For the first thoy will have to pay exorbitantly, and the company I loavo to your imagination ; but you well know it will bo such as will spoil all good and religious feelings that we take for V;1 granted are in tho breasts of the majority • of tho young men of this city. Think well- '_ of the proposed measure, and be prepared ~ .'" to bear the sin that you yourselves havo forced on tho young men of Auckland.— < Yours, &c, -'• j/gffl: A Well-wisher of Hcmanikv' M ;
