Training Notes.

Duneoin, this day

Our sporting correspondent, " Hippotia," who is now on a visit to Bunedin, wires as follows this afternoon :— There was a lot of good work done at the Forbury this morn ing. Sou'wester and July did strong work in company, both going well, nnd Lady Emma, Taiaroa, and Hazard had a rattling gallop once round. Lady Emma is improv ing daily. The Poet also did good work, but the gallop of the morning was done by Nonsense, who is very fit. She and Master Agnos went a mile at top speed, then the colt was pulled off, and the mare continued, and was picked up in the last half-mile by Vanguard. Tasman is in great nick, and has a lot of admirers. He will be ridden by Derrit, and Wattie is to have the mount on Robinson's selected.

Speculation is very dnll, and tho posting of the final payment last night did not cause any stir beyond a few small lines. There is a common gossip that Pilbrow has purchased Sou-wester, but this has not had tho effect of altering his position in the market, and the " books " are shy of laying at sto 2. Nonsense and Van guard remain in demand at 100 to 15, but if the stake wore made more either would be a hot favourite.

[by telegraph—press association.]

Work commenced this morning with Goodman sending Molly Bawn and Sun light a mile and a quarter's spin round as fast as they could go. Sou'wester covered n couple of rounds outside the hurdles at a strong pace, accompanied by July for the greater part of the distance Salvage went twice round in fair style, and jjady Emma, Taiaroa, and Hazard had a good gallop together, tho mare going best. Poet and Jilt covered a couple of miles at throe-quarter speed. Nonsense and Master Agnes went onco round at slow speed, when the latter dropped out, and the place waa taken by Vanguard, who brought the mare home. Lady Evelyn and Hippo damia also did good work.

The V.R.C. C hampion Stakes.

Mblbodbxb, February IS.—The following is the latest betting on the race for the Champion Stakes, to be run at the V.R.C. Autumn Meeting:—Even on Martini-Henry, 3 to 1 against Commotion, 5 to 1 against Off Colour, 7 to 1 against Sardius.

OPERA HOUSE.-"La Mascotte."

The success of the opening performance of << La Mascotte " gave every indication that the season of the Company would be a most prosperous and popular one, and so far as the production last night was con* eerned, this expectation was completely realised. There was a splendid house, both above and below stairs, and from the commencement of the performance until its conclusion, the audience were thoroughly in sympathy with tho performers. So enthusiastic was the feeling that at the close of the second act the principals *nd several of the subordinate characters were compelled in turn to come forward and bow their acknowledgments to tho delighted "house." Many of the morceaux were encored, and the pretty duets between Pippo and Bettina were with showers of boaqutta. The piece is splendidly mounted, the scenery admirable, and the costuming surpaasing in its bsauty, and these facts taken in conjunc ton with the number and excel lence of the artists engaged, justify the praise which has so freely been lavished on the performance. The " Mascotte will be repeated to-night, and it would be well for those who have not exercised the fore thought to secure seats in advance to put in an early appearance. The performance, owing to its length, commences at y.4u p.m. __

La Dona result of hU Consultation is too late for this issue; will appear to-morrow.

Mr John Darling, of the Union Steamship Company, is expected in Auckland en route for England on Monday next.

Mr 'Carkeek, surveyor, who hss been in Auckland for a short time, left to-day for the Waikato in order to finish his portion of the railway survey. He proposes to go over the Mokau route from Te Awamutu to New Plymouth, and hopes to complete his labours before tho meeting of Parliament. An excellent drawing of the New Zealand Insurance Company's new building now in course of erection in Queen, Fort, and Shortland-streete appears in the current number of tha "Illustrated New Zealand Amongst the passengers who arrived from Sydney by the Manapouri to-day were Miss Aeeia Stewart, Miss Brook, and JliMl CS, members' of Williamson« Opera Company, now playing at Abbott's Opera House.

Mr Swanson, M.H.R., informs us that the statement made by Mr GBeenshtelds in a letter we published yesterday v scarcely exact, in making Mr Swanson carry a sum of £2 000 in gold on hie person for two years. The money referred to, .and which Mr Swanson occasionally carried on his person., was 500 double American eagles, which he could not get exchanged here except at very considerable loss, and he therefore; kept them until occasion offered to send: them to America or get them exchanged \ advantageously in small sums. Jer we, most of the time he had the .precious board j '.'planted" in out-of-the-way placos-KHice ! jn a hollow tree, and on another ocewion at the bottom of a barrel of preaeryed pork.

SUDDEN DEATH AT SEA.

(BY TKTEORArir. —PRESS ASSOCIATION.)

Wellington, this day. Tiik steamer Wareata, from Lyttelton to Westport, has put in here, one of her firemen, named George Johnston, having dropped dead last night. Ho was shipped at Lyttelton yesterday, and had only been on duty one hour and a-half trimming coal in the bunkers when he died,. He had not been complaining.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRES.

[BY TELEGRAPH—FRE.S3 ASSOCIATION.]

Invekcauuill, this day. A large building in Esk-street, formerly used as a flour mill, but latterly used as a store-houso by Trow and Hall, ironj mongers, was burned down at 3.30 this morning. The fire was discovered by a constable, who had noticed nothing wrong when passing tho placo n few minutesbeforc. The Brigade turned out, and managed, in spite of the high wind, to confine tho h'ro to the building, which belonged to tho Hon. W. Wood, M.L.C., and was uninsured. The stock was insured for £500 in tho Hanseatic Office, nnd tho loss is estimated at about £300 over that.

New Plymouth, this day.—A house at Rohotti belonging to Mr W. R. Wright was burned down yesterday afternoon. It is stated to be insured for £200, but, tho name of the office is not known.

SENSATIONAL OCCURRENCE.

A most sensational scene was witnessed at the Dock between elevon and twclvo o'clock this morning, a report having gained cur rency that a child had been drowned there. It appears that during the morning, three boys between five and seven years ef age— Charles Woods, Willie Urquhart, and Green—were playing in the vicinity of the Dock. Abput eleven o'clock, Willie Urquhart went to his mother at the Alexandra Hotel, Chapel-street, and, while weeping copiously, told her that his companion, (Jharlio Woods (nephew to Mrs Urquhart), had been drowned by falling out of a boat. Mrs Urquhart picked up°tlie little fellow in her arms, and with all speed hurried, according to his childish directions, to the dock sea-waU. Here lay a small open boat. The child said that himself and two companions were playing in it when Charley fell out and rolled into tho water. The boy Green he said went down the wharf, When farther interrogated the child made several contradictory stalo ments, once saying that tho missing boy also went down the wharf. A large crowd speedily congregated and Captain Bewicke, of tha schooner Kyno got three Kanakas to dive along the wall with the object of securing tho body if there. They worked eno getically for over twenty minutes, witljout success, and then doubts were, expressed as to whether the drowning had really occurred. During the afternoon, however, all doubts wore set at rest by the arrival of the boys Woods and Green at the Alexandra Hotel. They said they left their mother near tho dock and had since beon wandering round town.
