THE A.R.C. SUMMER MEETING.

[By Hippona.]

The Auckland Racing Club Summer Meet ing, which commences on Friday next (Boxing Day), promises to be one of the most successful gatherings the Club have yet held. The second forfeit for the Cupj which fell due last night, shows that eleven still remain in; arid the other events of the programnlehavefilledupwell. Thefollowing are the names of those who have paid up for

Tho Cup:—

Out of the seven I selected to furnish the winner when the weights came out, I have Turquoise, Welcome Jack, and Libeller, to "do battle" for me. The first-named I still have the greatest respect for, and if all goes well with him up to the day, he must bothore or thereabouts.. The only doubt in my mind about hi 3 winning is his stay ing capabilities, for in a gallop he had over the Cup distance yesterday morning, he appoarcd to tiro, in the last quarter of a mile. Administrator is in such good nick that I cannot overlook his chance, and with such a nice impost as ho-has, must finish well up. There are many, I know, who do not like him, but I have come to tho con clusion that his chance of winning cannot be ignored. So far, the intentions of the Welcome Jack party are enshrouded in mystery, but until we know something further I shall certainly have him on my eido. Good, honest little fellow though Libeller is, I cannot see him finishing first in tho race, and The Poet's chance I will consider a bit later on. Necklace should have a big outside show if she sees the post, but Woodnymph must prove her worth in public before I will stand her. There aro still five days to elapse before the race is run, and all sorts of changes may occur in that time, but my present opinion 19 that Turquoise or Administrator will be re turned the winner, and a final selection, as well as my fancies for the other events of the first day's racing, will appear in Wed nesday's Star. The only business transacted at Tatter sail's last night, was the acceptance of 600 to 24 about Turquoise and Alaric for the Cup and Steeple chase. Turquoise and Administrator are now both quoted at 3 to 1 for the Cup. The following acceptances and general entries for the meeting were received last night :— STEEPLECHASE—Three and analf miles. at lb at lb Clarence .. .. 12 10 Snnray .. .. 912 ThoLad .. ..12 0 Ktaf? .. .. 912 Chanaler .. .. 11 0 Exchange.. ..9 7 Alario .. ..10 10 Linwooa .. .. 8 7 ToWhetu.. ..10 7 Julia Ann .. 9 7 Barbary .. .. 10 6 Widoawako ... 9 7 New Year.. .. 10 5

The weekly meeting of the Board of Educa tion washeldat2o'clockycsterdayafternoon. Present:—Mr Luke (Chairman), Professors Tucker and Aldis, Messrs Carr, Goldie, Moss, Cooper, and Moat. A large number of minor applications from the country were dealt with. The Education Reserves Com missioners notified the payment of £250 for the district high schools of Cambridge and Hamilton. — Professor Aldis moved, "That in deference to the wishes of the district, Mian Spence be re-employed as teacher of the V\ aitetuno School for a period of six months, A letter from the Waitetune Committee on the matter was read. Its tone was considered by several members to be of a most threatening character. The motion was carried, and it was decided to tako no notice of tho letter.—The inspector reported that the district of Helensville might now be divided. Itwasdecidedtodividethe district. A memorial was received from the residents of Buckland asking that the district be separated, from the Pukekohe East School District. The Pukekohe School Committee objected to the alteration of the boundaries. After discussion, it was decided to defer the matter.

j The Sub-Inspector.—Mr Goldie moved, "That Mr Ponsonby Peacocke be asked to state whether he is the person mention*! in Thursday's Stab as being sued for a' sum or sums of money and ordered to six months' imprisonment in default," Mr Cooper thought tliat if it were so they should have some explanation from Mr Peacocke as to how, with his salary, he had got into difficulties.— Mr Moss thought it a bad system that they should be Doth accusers arid judges. He thought there should be some regulation for meeting cases of this kind—The Chair man moved as an amendment, "That the matter be deferred till next meeting."—The amendment was carried on the casting vote of the Chairman. ' ,

Cambridge. —Application that the school be painted during the holidays. The cost would not exceed £70.—Mr Moat, moved, " That a list be-prepared of Committees who have applied for grants from Building Fund, the amount applied for, and that the Board then decide on grants."—This was carried. Singing Teachebs.—The Board in com mittee considered Mr Blbomfield's report on singing teachers, and it was resolved on the Board resuming to inform Mr Cranwell that the Board has no intention of altering exist ing arrangements.

Waiorongomai.—An application to sepa rate Waiorongomai from the Te Aroha school district was granted. I'.uni and MAuicn.—With regard to the division of these districts, it was agreed to accept the boundaries suggested by the Assistaut Surveyor General.

This was all the business,

NARROW ESCAPE FROM BROWNING.

(by telegraph—press associaiion.)

Napier, this day, Mr J^. T. C. Cook, sub-editor of the "Daily Telegraph," had a narrow oscape from drowning this morning. While having his tno'rning. swim in tho sea, ho found he waß being carried out by the cur rent. After a long effort to reach the shore, unsuccessfully, he cried out for assistance, and was heard by Mr W. Miller, the gaoler, who ran down the hill to tho Police Station, and procured a life buoy and rope. Amongst others attracted to the head was Mr" Fred Howard, of the Post-office, who seized the buoy and swam out and succeeded in placing it over Mr Cook's head, just as he was sinking for the third time. He was then hauled ashore by the rope. Cook had been in the water about three-quarters of an hour before he was rescued. He was carried home, where he remains in a weak condition.

BISHOP MORAN ON THE GOD LESS SCHOOLS.

(by telegraph—phkss association.)

. . Dunbmn, this day, " Bishop Moran, presiding at the breaking Up of the Christian Brothers' School yester: day, said:—lt Btrikes the,, when wfe call tb iiiind th'q scandalous exh'ibitiph jVitpessii} in this city yesterday, you will thank- Qod for' the merciful dispensation which saves your children from being told •by :©ne minister of religion at a school exhibition that there is a little blot in our godless education, and by another that all here aro proud of one man • who considers it hfe most important duty to make weekly enunciation of his denial and contempt of Christianity. I thank God only two unfori tunate Catholic children were there to hear men calling themselves ministers of the religion of Christ proclaim Godlew educa tion an excellent system, and the -un-Chris* tian chairman of the meeting hold-up for the admiration of. the rising ■ generation. For years, unfortunately, it has boon my lotto protest against the tyranny and in. justice that excludes our' schools from all participation in the education vote, to a. share in which we, as taxpayers,.are entitled, aud to protest against the fexplu sion of our schools from all share $n rthe scholarships , • provided from . the pnblio funds. I. suppose I shall: have to continue my jeremiads as long as Hive, as Catholic education in Catholic schools shall not be permitted to compete with secular -schools, lest what is little better than an expensive sham shall be deposed.
