RIFLE ASSOCIATION MEETING.

[BY TKtEfITtAPH—PRESS ASSOCIATION.]

. WBLLINfiTON, this day. Tiik weather is grand for shooting. The Hawke's Bay Match commenced at 11 to day. A telephono has been erected between the firing points at 500 and 1,000 yards and the butts and greatly facilitates the shooting. The tiring this morning was not anywhere near the average, and the "bursting up" of tho champion and ox chnnipions Mas tho rule rather than the exception. Churton, the present champion, went oil'altogether, and at SOO yards only mado ton. For tho future, the firing is to' commence at S a.m. and cease nt G p.m.

Auckland Defence.

(To tho Editor.)

Sut, —Your osteoincd correspondent Mr F, J. Moss and- yourself havo again attempted to arouse public attention to the grave position in which wo shall be placed in tho event of England and Kussia going to war; but it appears that nothing short of seeing tho bricks and mortar coming dov n about our cars in Queen-street will iiwakou us Aucklanders from our apathy on the subject. At this critical juncture it appears that onr Governor, seeing that it is useless talking to us on tho subject, has gono to assist the Australians with his advice in tho mutter. What fools tho Australians must bo to make suoh a fuss about defonocs, or else wo must bo for utterly neglecting them ; I leave you to decido which deserves tho title. The pooplo of Auckland are protty well on the r^iii vive whon a few nounds aro to bo mado out of any land jobbory or any railway to tho moon or somo similar placo ; but to spend a littlo on protecting a few millions of pro porty, to say nothing of a few lives, is not of the slightest consequence. All our dependence seems to bo on tho British fleet, as if that could bo übiquitous. It must bo patent to all that in the evont of war with Kussia, England, with her vast possessions and immense mercantile marine to protect, could not spare another ship out horo. Russia has several swift well-armed cruisers in tho Pacitic, and sho would only havo to send one down to annihilate us, as our Volunteors would bo utterly usoloss in tho way of dofenco, as rifles, however woll handled, ore no match for ship's artillery in tho present day,—l nm, -Sic., Titos.

TXT OR T H READING WORTH THINKING ABOUT 11 i ! ORAM'S HOTEL (Lato Prince Arthur Hotel, and Ihe Retrospective), HOBSON AND WELLESLKY-STREETS, AUCKLAND. I ; TO THE INHABITANTS OF AUCKLAND ', AND TRAVELLING PUBLIC. Ladies AND Gentlemen,—Slnco my two last advertisements woro issuod, when I had tho honour of drawing your attention in the flrst instance to tho ERECTION OF THE FIRS*!' PART OF THE HOTEL, and in tho second instance tho recognition of your patronage, tho success so far financially of the Hotel, the hope of a further extension of your favours, and in dicating tho future prospects and improvements of tho City of Auckland, since and including those periods three and a half years have rolled i away. j The Proprietor hopes the shortcomings—tho lil'lo dellcicnciosof management, and the in ability of not accommodating all that oaino to the Hotel, have gono with it. But whatever has been, or what may bo, let us hope the year '85 will reveal, and bo the forerunner of many years of success and prosperity for those who may try for It Tho rotrospect of a man's life-his Lnsiness, the town in which ho lives, pr oven tho world which holds them both—may or may not be plea sant to contemplate, yet its reminiscences can be used as guiding posts for all future actions. Tho physical aspect of Auckland city and its surroundings hasforthobetterchangedsorapidly to the astoniahment of all, and unaccountably ao even to its oldest inhabitants. With them in the perspective it is positive. The old suburbs absorbed by the city; now suburbs formed ; new streets mado ; buildings erected that would do credit to the Older citiea of the world—all of this newly-created power is but the result of Nature's bountiful gifts: without It, man's utilitarian proclivities in many respects would be useless, True thenamongstthe many buildlngimprove ments in the City, hotel accommodation is the most conapicuous, and without presumption it may be mentioned ORAM'S HOTEL stands pre-eminently tho best in Auckland. I According to tho original design, tho Hotel has advanced ono. stage further towards its final* completion. The new addition with its Hydraulic Passenger nnd Luggage Lift is nearly completed, a description of whicli, with tho wholo Block, will be given in another Advertisement At present the Proprietor would wish to draw the attention of the publio to tha almost insur mountable obstacles an Hotel like ORAM'S (or in proportion much turgor houses) havo to over come if it is to be successful in every respect and become established aud gain the confidence of its patrons. In the large cities of the world how oft and unfortunate it is we find Promoters orccting coloßsal edifices with their gorgeous appoint ments and costly conveniences, surpassing in magnificence our kingly palacos and oriontal splendour, tho wonder and talk of travellers, the prido and pleasure of their cities, commencing their career on a road of famo, with bright prospects for future suc cess, ao soon to realise the position of an unpay able concern. And why is this 1 Not because tho management is not good. In Great Britain hotels. have somo of tho best and smartest tadesmen in the communities to supervise them. In America the general beliof ii some of the best commercial men they have are thoso who run their Hotels. O.i the Continent of Europo Hotelkcepcrs Burpasa oven these for prociso management, their unlimited attentive ncss, and tho happy knack of supplying every little want to their visitors. Again, these largo Hotels in their different countries have, too. the ad vantages of liberalLlcensingLaws. They havo night licenses to receive visitors. Visitors can recoive their friends in Public Apartments every day in tho week, night or day, without having tho quibblo (if wanted) or a Licensing Act thrown in their faces. The Hotels aro not compelled to light the streets ot the City bj night; tho respective Corporations do that for their citizens. Tho police do not patrol its halls and passages; the State have faith in their good management. But, with all thla in thoir favour—these stupenduous structures, rearing their heads aloft in nil tho powerful grandeur of well-to-do trading concerns, are but sorry investments after alb Again, Why is this ? Because they have not what ORAM'S HOTEL Has always endeavoured to cultivate, a good LOCAL TRADE. A Hotiso like ORAM'S is as much a necessity for one class of customers as tho other. To the Local Publio it is a guarantee the Wines, Spirits, Ales, &c, will bo sound, good, and gonuine. A proof of this—tho many orders supplied by ORAM for Brandies, fee., as Medical Comforts. The importance of one class of ORAM'S TRADE must make tho good conduct of tho other part unquestionable. Yet tho Proprietor is afraid this is but little considered by a great many of the people. Let it be assumed then, if largo Family Hotels in the older World, existing under such liberal licensing laws, hUving encouragements from their respective Governments, do find them selves weighed down by their own enormous expenses that they barely exist, what a struggle must it be thon for hotels of tho samo class, say here in Auckland, with comparatively the same expenses, governed by an arbitrary licensing law which knows no distinction levelled up or down, whichever it may be called, to one class of Hotels. The proprietor of ORAM'S HOTEL cannot but think tho advantages named in the foregoing of these lines accorded to such Family and Commercial Houses in the Old World should be given to tho samo class of Hotels in Nerf Zealand, especially when the Management is willing to pay for thoso advantages. The anxiety.hard work,longhours,and heavy responsibity. bound up as thoy are in the good management of such costly establishments, have but little sympathy and no encouragement shown them within or outside of their own sphere. As a rule, acting up to and abiding by the laws which govern them, houses like Oram's Hotel has a Btroog fight to make, and but a poor Bhow against tho trickery of a debauched trade. Regardless, too, of the benefit they aro to the Towns (indeed,- a much greater benefit to the Towns than to the Proprietors), and mindful of their dignity, Hotels like Oram's must lay a motionless mass at the feet of party spirit, and realise party apirit to govern them. To this class of the trade, then, such has been tno retrospect of its existerce. ■ And in conclusion it Is the earnest wish that tho Proprietor of ORAM'S HOTKL shall somo day realise tho fact this class of trade will live down tho petty annoyances and all unchari tableness it is continually liablo to. and will riso abovo the,obstacles which surround it and tho arbitrary power which tends to dobaso it, and that this most difficult trade shall at no distant time bo pointed out with respect as ono of the principal amongst so many commercial enterprises which prop the financial systems of this . world, and that tho Proprietor of ORAM'S HOTEL, endeavouring to givo every satisfaction, which lays in his power, shall realise the continued and over increasing support in tho future which has so liberally beon accorded to him Ih the post, is the earnest wish of yours, Ladrcs and Gentlemen, obedient sorvant, TTUBERT /"VRAM, PROPRIETOR.
