BOARD OF EDUCATION.

Chairman's Report. — This report was brought up, stating that a letter had been sent to the Minister of Education with a detailed list of tho Board's immediato requirements for Bchool buildings, amounting to £24,442 10s lOd. Tho Morcury Bay committee have boon author ised to soil the school boat and apply proceeds to school fund. Tho Board have already paid grant for Parnell school library. Other small matters have been dealt with.

Correspondence.—A series of letters were read in connection with the Bank of Now Zea land, re overdraught for Bchool buildings.—The Chairman considered that it was unfair to charge the Board with extravagance. —Mr Luke agreed with these remarks.—Mr Moss said the Board was unable to make any further grants until Government could make provision lor the same. The Chairman moved, "That the Board has no funds available for building purposes; that the provision made by parliament last year was quite inadequate; that the Board has strongly urged on Government the necessity of provision being made for build ings; and that until such provision is made, the Board is absolutely unable to incur any further liabilities."—Seconded by Mr Moss, and carried. Arahimu.—The question of separating this district in two, or continuing ono school, was again brought up. The children in tho two extremes were about equally divided.—Mr Goldie said tho wish of the settlers was in favour of tho schools, and the two parties on the district school were pulling in difl'erent direct ions. Mr Cooper thought the matter Bhould be reforred to the Committee, tho district might be divided in accordance with tho act, the boundaries of the districts must be fixed by a local meeting, but it would not necessarily follow that the Board would accept such fixed boundaries. The community, in ail fair ness, should bo consulted. Mr Luke, Mo3a, and Mr Moat having spoke upon the nuostion, Mr Goldie said it would be best to call a meeting of the Committee. Mr Cooper said such meeting could not bo held until noxt year On the motion of the Chairman the whole matter was referred to the Committee to report ""application and Bfports. — The head master's report (Nelson-street school), had been received. Mr C'arr said there had been dis satisfgetion with the head-master of this school. Tho matter was rcforred to the Inspector to enquire and report thereon. A lettor|of com plaint was received from Mr .Cowan of Klhi kihi and hold ovor. £4 was granted in aid of the Onehunga school library. It was resolved, on the motion of Mr Clark, that the Inspector fur nish a list of those schools where tho examina tions had been unsuccessful. Mr O'Donoghue, of tho Thames, ronowed his application for per mission to train his pupil teachers, with reasons for urging the same.—Resolved that the present training teacher should have an opportunity ol a reply before giving consent. Tho current ac counts were passed.

MINING NEWS.

(From the "CoromandelMail.")

Nothing very startling has occurred in the mines during the past week, but work is going on very steadily, and before long we hope to hear of many new discoveries. The Tiki district especially is taking a rapid advance, half-a-dozen new claimß having been pegged out within the past week, and it is the intention of the parties to work the ground and prove their richness them selves. The days when ground could be pegged out, formed into companies, and sold, the promoters pocketing a good round sum, are gone we hope for ever, for in the long run everything which is not legitimate will always end disastrously.

The Matawai still improves the further it is developed, and we expect the next crushing will tell a tale which will rather open the eyes of those who have been sceptical as to the value of the Matawai.

The adjoining claim, the Argonaut, has been very satisfactorily started ; only a few shares have been sold, sufficient to pay for the lease, the balance being held over for a higher price. It is understood that the whole of the proceeds is to go to work the ground; consequently, it is only another way of making a call. It is confidently ex pected this will be sufficient to place the company on payable gold.

Vizard's.—The owners of this claim are still getting very nice gold in the small leader, and there is every appearance of their obtaining a first-class crushing.

Mariebel.—The manager has succeeded in obtaining what appears to be good pay able stone. At any rate he has every con fidence that it will do well. Everything is being made ship-shape, aud a start in earnest will be made before long.

Unio>" Beach.—The manager continues to got very goud stone in making winze on the new reef, still averaging about 9 inches thich, which is expected will crush welL The little leader off the Green Harp is also turning out good stone.

Tokatea.—The main low level still con tinues very hard. There is nothing of any importance in the rest of the mine.

Royal Oak.—The reef in the van level continues first-claes in appearance; every stone is expected to carry gold. The country is very hard and progress slow.

Queen op Englakd is laying down rails, and it is intended to open up the mine systematically. From the appearance of the reef and the late crushing there is everything to warrant the outlay.

Success. —The usual stoping operations are going on in the mine, but gold is rather scarce. They have great quantities, of mineral j in fact, the indications are excel lent.

FIELD SPORTS AND AQUATICS.

(BY ACTION.)

Tom Whiteside and W. Cole, of the Pon sonby Football Club, left for Sydney by the Wairarapa on Wednesday. A dingy race has been arranged between Walter Bailey and Sullivan to take place in harbour probably about a week hence. Ponsonby Football Club was to have com menced the season with a practice match this afternoon.

Onohungb now possesses two rowingelubs, a second having been very recently formed. The latter has purchased two boats—a gun wale gig and string-test from the Auck land Rowing Club.

Carr and Sons have received an order from Messrs Donald and Edinburgh for four half-deck yachts for the islands. Two of the boats will be 24ft. in length, and two 22ft. in length.

Nothing has yet been decided upon re another race between the twenty-feet open sailing boats, but it is understood that the Mascotte, Ika and Bream will try conclu sions at an early date.

There is some talk of having another Whau Regatta this year. The proposal is to form a committee in town so as to attract a greater amount of public attention than formerly.

Athletic circles in Sydney are somewhat agitated by the publication of the pro gramme for a handicap to be run at the Sir Joseph Banks Hotel, Botany, early in May. The first prize will be £100, second £30, third £20, and fourth £10. All the starters in the final heat will thus get a prize. Little or nothing haa yet been done towards arranging for another regatta in connection with North Shore to take place during the present season. Remarkable apathy exists in regard to this matter in the marine suburb, so that it is likely to fall through again.

Ivo Bligh has written a long article in Lillywhite's Annual for ISS4 on the tour of the English cricketers who visited Australia under his captaincy last season. It is noticeable that he declines to venture an opinion as to whether the best Australian eleven is equal or superior to the best English eleven. He pays a high tribute to the undeniable fairness of Australian bowling.

Those are two curious cricket watches re corded one after the other in the " Sports man's Pocket Book." Against Hampshire last May, Surrey scored 650, and in August a match was played at Devonshire Park in which, in the second innings, not a single run was secured, nor was there even a bye or an overthrow to save the addition, of 11 " 0 's." Oddly enough, the s»do that thus distinguished itself had made 75 in the first innings, while the other 11 had one more, 76. The first team then tried again. Four were bowled, four were caught, two were run out, and the not-out hadlailed to score, so that the match waß won in a single innings by a single run. The fact that it was played by boys under 13 detracts a little from the peculiarity of the affair. The official card of the Australian Cricket Eleven's engagements issued by Messrs Boyle and Scott shows that there are 29 matches arranged, opening with three days at Sheffield Park against Lord Sheffield's team, on May 12, 13, and 14 j the rest of May is taken up with matches against Ox ford University,|Surrey Count y,Marylobone Club, and Gentlemen of England, only two days being vacant, the 26th and 27th. The Derbyshire County match commences Juno, then comes Lancashire, Yorkshire, Not tingham, Cambridge University and North of England. Next comes the Gentlemen of England at the Oval, and then the Players of England at Sheffield. After this there are a few vacant dates before the opening of the game against All-England at Manchester on July 10, the second match against All England taking place at Lords on July 21,22, 23. The return match with the players is down for the Oval to com mence on July 31, concluding on August 2. They will again have to contest against All- England at the Oval on August 11,12, and 13, on the conclusion of which we may fairly hope that the question of who is best will have been satisfactorily settled. The rest of the tour is taken up with Gloucester Nottingham, Past and Present Cambridge' South of England, North of England! Zingari, and Yorkshire, '

The following interesting account of «,„ I recent athletic contest between Donald!!! Dinnie and Miller is given in a Sydney by I': °? anff T 1* W« S a7 a"Sed that each man '": should choose five feats, and thathowhn excelled in the majority, won the match I Dinnie started by taking a 251b dumb-be i - n each hand, and lifting the pair upwarj I from the shoulders at arms-length 31 time ' -' in succession. Miller only managed 14 ard '•■* Ms opponent scored a point. Tims eariv m it was apparent, however, that there would be some disputes as to style. Miller kent m his legs and body perfectly still, and lifted ■' the weights purely by the strength of his arms, while every part of Dinnie's frame I was in motion, and he obtained his lifting ■ power by bending his knees and back and then springing erect from his heels' ' This, although claimed to be an infringe- :M ment of the American rules on tha '" subject, was allowed in the first practice I but disallowed afterwards. Both men then I lifted a 1001b. dumb-bell straight, above § their heads with one hand 10 times in succession, but the point was given to Miller on account of his superior style. In I the next feat the Scotch athlete held a 251b • dumb-bell in each hand, with the arms' ex- 1 tended from the shoulders outward ifor 184 sec.; Miller, who f olio wed, only managing 13|sec. Miller having increased the weight of his one-arm dumb-bell to 1101b, hoisted it from the shoulder above his head riino :" times, while Dinnie twice in succession failed at the eighth try, the men being now even with two points each. After a short rest a weight of 1201b was lifted in exactly the same way six times by Miller, and seven times by Dinnie, who was loudly cheered. This point was given to Miller on account of his more legitimate style of lift.':; ing, and there could be no doubt that as fat as arm strength in pushing a weight up. : ward was concerned he was the superior ■'■ man, as he lifted the mass of iron without the slightest jerk. Dinnie then rolled out . two heavy bells joined together with a bar about 3ft long, the lot weighing 2001b. Catching the bar with both hands, he lifted this above his head seven times in succes sion, but Miller declined to attempt the feat to the evident dissatisfaction of the audience! ' He explained afterwards that while in prac tice during the week he had ricked his back and that the jerk necessary in this style of practice would have disabled him. Miller having gained the superiority with the1 one hand dumb-bel} kept increasing the weight x for the remaining trials, while DinnSe.did the same with the two-hand "weights,' the climax being reached when the Australian lifted 1501b above his head with one hand, and his opponent put up 2401b with Both hands. Millerdeclinedthroughouttotry.thig practice, but Dinnio pluckily struggled through the one-arm exercise, although being disqualified in every instance on ac- \ count of his style. One of the most interest-

Ing feats of the night was one in which Dinnio lifted a 2301b dumb-bell above bia

head with both hands, and afterwards sup. ported it for at least ssec with tho right arm alone. The result was that each had won

at his own practice, and that the match bo far was undecided. It was finally arranged that the men should decide it by a trial"of one-arm lifting, each adopting his own .style.' Miller accordingly put up 1701b, but Dinnie failed three times in succession, and tha match was accordingly won by the Austra lian.

St. Jacob's Oil invincible.

(To the Editor ol Evekino Stab.) Dear Sir,—l wish to add my testimony to the efficacy of the great German remedy, St. Jacob's OiL Your column!! have contained, from tima to time, expressions of gratitude from persons of known respectability, and having satisfied my self of the genuineness of th« cures effected, I obtained a bottle, scarcely hoping it would suo ceed in relieving me. For tho past seven months I havo suffered severely from a pain ful attack of sciatica, which, in spite of the most able treatment on the part of my medi cal adviser, continued to hold its own in my system. My sleep at last began to be affected, and my whole syßtem very much reduced. 'The most careful treatment failed to give me relief, and I then applied nearly every advertised remedy. The sciatica was principally located in my left thigh, and tho pain at times was most oxcniclating. In spite of the most thorough applications, and tho great est care and attention on my part, •». ob tained no appreciable relief, and at last, tu. % forlorn hope, I determined to apply St. Jacobs Oil. and from that time the pain began to diminish. My sleep soon returned, and each application afforded me relief. At first I ■re garded the cessation from pain as only a temporary one, scarcely daring to "hope that tha cure was complete; but I:"haw gratefully to acknowledge that I am now free from pain-in fact, a man again.' I. must confess t'aat I 'tried the Oil in absoS lute despair. I had had no sleep for three or four nights previously, and my system was very low. The success, however, is complete, and I again tender my grateful acknowledgments to the proprietors of the Oil, and sh all ever con timis to recommend it to every sufl'orer who comes within range of my influence. What medical skill failed to do St. Jacob's Oil effected, and 1 regard it as tflo greatest boon of the ago. I am, dear Sir, i Yours faithfully. , John Lee. , Ashbourne, Mudgee, November 12,1883. i

DOWDEN HAS received instructions from the Western Springs Land Association to sell by public auction, at the Exchange Mart, 161, Queen-street, on the above date, THB WHOLE OF THAT VALUABLE BLOCK OF SCORIA LAND KNOWN AS EDGECOMBE'S, CONTAINING ONE HUNDRED ACRES (more on less), together with the NORTHERN HOTEL and THREE DETACHED COTTAGES Erected on the Property. This is without doubt a most yaluab c pro perty, for it is in every way suited for Villa Residences or Manufacturing Sites, containing as it does an almost unlimited supply of pure water—in fact, it is in reality the filter-bed of our present water supply, which i 3 acknow ledged to be one of the purest in the world. A six-inch gas pipe is laid past the main front age, which extends 40 chains along the Great North Road. The whole of this land is within the three milo radius (viz., the Groat North Road) of the Union Bank cornor, and it is the intention of tho Tramway Company to run a line past the Arch Hill Hotel, thus placing the property within a very easy distance of the city. A level grade can be securod for a tramway in a direct line from the Morningside Railway- Station, so that coals, building material, and general goods could then be carried from the Queen-street Wharf to tho centre of this pro perty at a very Braall cost If tho property is not sold in its entirety, it will bo cut up into Building Sites, as per plan to bo seen at the Mart. Plans and every information at the Office of the Auctioneer, Queen-street; or, William Edgcombe, on the property. TERMS.—Onc-hal£ cash, the balance at three per cent, for two years, after that at six per cent, for a further term of three, years, or as may be agreed on. ■ . ~"~ DURHAM YARDS.
