Neither the sporting public nor the members of the spirited Jockey Club of our trans-matine suburb have had any reason to regret the enforced postpone ment till Saturday last of the North Shore Summer Meeting. The latter have assuredly gained by it a much larger measure of patronage than they couli havo expectod in view of the rain and slush of Regatta Day, and the public enjoyed tho privilege of beautiful weather for their outing. The programme of sport provided was large, and tho various events woro well contested. Fully 2,500 peoplo must have boen on tho courso, and the grandstand was filled with ladies, for whoso delectation tho Artillery Band wliiled away tho tedium of tho leisure intervals by discoursing a choice selection of music. Wo append tho particulars of all the events, albeit four of the results were given in our latest edition of Satur day :—

UNION SASH & DOOR COMPANY.

The late hour at which tho annual meeting of the above Company concluded on Saturday prevented us from giving moro than an abstract of the report in our issue of that evoning. We now conclude our report of tho proceed ings. The annual statement having been read, the Chairman said : Gentlemon, —In moving the adoption of the report and balance-sheet, I regret vory much not having a more favourable statement to offer you. The figures are explicitly set out in the printed statement now before you. I propose, however, to explain the conditions under which your directors have laboured since last meeting. Our Auckland business has been seriously hampered by the in efficiency of the plant we considered it advisable to employ, as the ac tion of the' Government in resuming our sea frontage precluded us from putting down more permanent works. An officer of the Government Is, however, at this moment in Auckland engaged in the settlement of this business, and I anticipate a speedy removal of the difficulties in con nection with this question. The cultivation of our local trado is having our most careful attention, and it will be extended as far as practicable and consistent with doing a safe and profitable business, Our operations have to some extent beon interfered with by the loss of our factory, and by other causes much more serious and for the moment beyond the control of your Board. I allude more particularly to tho question of over-production and con. sequently low prices. For over twelve months a large surplus production has been forcing itself on buyers, in consequence of wbicb producers nave had to accept, in

many iiistances.uiiremunoitttivorutes. Vory early your directors saw that this was inevitable, and shut down their proiuctkn to such limits as would preservo the Com pany's connection, whilo yielding a margin of profit. I havo now to rofor to tho recommendation in tho directors' roport having roforonco to tho withdrawal from tho rosoi-vo fund of a sum sufficient to covor tho lobh incurred _ during tho Company's existence, mainly in the log stocks at bush mills. This with drawal will put all stocks onj a footing permanently sound, for the directors, in making the present proposal, have made arrangements to secure reliable returns under this head by a system of annual allowances for possible losses to be written off profit and loss accounts. In bush work ings, extending over many miles of country, and with water carriage by floods, there must be losses through breaking up of logs, or their being so placed as to render their recovory inexpedient on the ground of ex ponse. " It is to meet the result of such accidonts the prcsont transfer is recom mended, and to provide for the future that an extended system of depreciations has been inaugurated. In pursuing our in quiries into the Company's resources, it was with foelings of pleasure wo were enabled to note to what a substantial extent our properties and plant had been conserved by the judicious care of past years. If, in the matter I have just referred to, there is a cause for regret, there is, on tho other hand, in tho matter ol pro perties, only room tor satisfaction. It would, of course, prove too tedious were I to attempt any general enumeration of these assets, even were it desirable in tho commercial interests of the Company to make them publicly known ; but I would invite any shareholder who desires it to make himself acquainted with theso re sources by going into the matter at the conclusion of this meeting. Maps of tho properties are now in hand, and lists are compiled in such a form as will make an investigation easy and comprehensible. Generally your directors have bestowed very great care in watching over and quid ing tho Company's interests, and I am very much impressed with the wonderful re sources wo are called upon to foster and develop, resources which will yet yield to tho shareholders tangible proofs of these efforts in the form of improved and uniform dividends. This, gentlemen, concludes the remarks necessary to the motion. Mr Joseph Howard seconded the adop tion of the report. In reply to Major Georue, it was stated that tho reserve fund was invested in the general business of the Company. Replying to Mr Seymour Gesrge, the Chairman said the profit from tho Austra lian business was very trifling, and that branch of the trade had been abandoned.

Mr Boardman regretted the abandon ment of tho retail trado, and attributed the decrease of profits to this cause. _ He did not think there was such a thing as a wholesale timber business in Auckland.

The Chairman denied that the retail business in Mechanics' Bay had been abandoned.

In the course of the dicussion that followed, it was stated that a great deal of the Company's property wn« undervalued. The Opunake bush, for instance, might havo been sold for £50,000, but wan only set down on tho Company's books at £2,000. Mr R. Monk urged the directors strongly to resume tho retail businoss on an exten sive scale.

The report and accounts were ihcn adopted. Mr L. D. Nathan was re-elected director, and Messrs Buchanan and MacDonnoli auditors. Tho remuneration was fixed at £30 por annum each,

CORRESPONDENCE.

Mr Fox's Speech on the Permissive Bill.

(To the Editor of the " Waka Maori.")" Cambridge, 13th October, 1873. Friend, —Greeting. Mr Fox's speech in Parliament on the liquor question (pub lished in the " Waka Maori" of the 17tii of September last) has afforded mo m> much pleasure ond gratification that 1 urn in duced to send you the follov. ing observa tions, in the hope that others of this country may bo led to take an interest in the subject. Mr Fox's speech on this monster (taniwha), which swallows up men, their intellect, their riches, and their land, is exceedingly interesting. So far as an illiterate man may be able to judge, the various divisions or heads of the speech appear to be set forth with great clearness. Woe regularly following woo, prosperity following on the heels of prosperity —that is to say, where drinking habits have been encouraged, adversity has regularly followed as a necessary conse> quence; and where drinking has beon abandoned, prosperity and well-being have followed as a necessary consequence also. Doubtless I shall bo told that I ttiyio'f havo indulged in drinking habits. It is true ; and because I at one time drank, I experienced the evil of it, and gave it up in consequence. Thorefore, lam able to see, with a clear understanding, the multitudes of men who aro grovelling in the mud, howling with extended mouths in the rubbish and litter on the highways, like dogs yelping and barking at men ; beating and biting each other; destroying thorn selves by plunging into the mud and water, and dying as dogs. When I havo seen this, I have thought, if I had continued to drink, my eyes would not have been opened to see clearly these evils. I, too, should have been swallowed up by this all-devouring monster. As it was, I baroly escapee! from tho mouth of tho Parata (a fabulous monster in tho depths of tho sea, supposed to cause the ebb and flow of the tides by drawing in and ejecting the water from its stomach alternately). There are some in this Island who know how nearly I was de voured by the monster. I shall be told that I had only myself to blame—that of my own will I gave way to habits of drinking. It is true; I did so, and found I was puwuing a road leading to hell therefore I drow back. And so I beseech others, who aro travelling that road, ac I did, to return. The words of Mr Fox are true. I have found it to be a road leading to holl. Some of you will say I am com plaining of myself. True ; I am com plaining of what I experienced in my own person ; and I complain of it because it affects the whole Island, and I am desirous that my friends who are as .1 was may ruße in their oareer, and return. I fear if were to tell of my experience as I ap proached the mouth of the Parata, you would laugh at me. But it is all comprised in the.c words i—The Road to Hell.

I have been told, in respect of certain lands in this country, that, from the drink ing habits of the owners, the properties have become involved, and land and money together havo disappeared in tho capacious maw of this fearful all-devouring dragon. I have observed that certain tribes in this Island are fast disappearing and dwindling away from the ravages of strong drink. But I will not particularise, lest it be said that lam slandering my neighbours. But I am pot. I am condemning drinking habits, in the hope thftt men's sympathies may be drawn out towards each other, and that they may unite in strengthening tho hands of thoso who meet us (obstruct, bar the way) on the road to hell, poradventure some of us may be induced to return and be saved.

I shall not venture to speak upon the effect which some assert tho abolition of drinking would havo upon the revenue of the colony; I leave that question to Mr Fox and other politicians to discuss. I siuip'y speak of the evil which I have seen I will not say that the sale of spirits should bo put down. That is a question for tho law-makers to consider. It is for them to Bharpen an axe to cut down that tree. If I say, "Cut down tho evil tree, let it not cumber the ground," would it fall whilst held up by the hands of its supporters» It is possible that politicians inav succeed in sharpening an axe to cut it down. I only speak of what I know, in the hope that some may see that drinking leads to hel! It is sufficient for man and his substance to be destroyed by contagious and pestilential diseases, which the eyo of man cannot see, and which the hand of man cannot arrest. I should rejoloe if this evil tree were out down i happiness and security would follow. If it be allowed to grow, the land will become unproductive under its influence, and misery will result. Men may avoid it at first j but as it stands year after year in their midst, they will become familiarised with its presence, learn to love it, and gradually be drawn within the circle of its influence—then they will disappear in the mouth of the Parata. In my opinion, this devouring dragon of drink is equal to that other monster of war and bloodshed which devoured the people of this land in the olden times. In those days man destroyed man, and tribe de stroyed tribe, as we are told by the old men in their speeches . but on the introduction of the Gospel this state of things came to an end. All bear witness to the truth of this. -But some, notwith-tanding, assert that this was a condition from which men rose to be chiefs, and the people independ ant warnors. These latter persons are some what similar to the men who say that the spirit traffic brings money to the Govern ment, and that if it were abolished the revenue would suffer They do not con- Bider the suffering which will be brought

upon the colony by drinking bttbitSl words of Mr Fox's speech are aimikrfcrtu words of tho Gospel, which put do»_^|i and cannibilism in this Mind. :'|h| I suppose I must now conclude ■ !«J ---tire tho Editor of tho "Wa'a" readers. "J W-T. WHEOa
