AUCKLAND RACING CLUB SUMMER MEETING.

The first day's racing of tho Summer Meet ing on Saturday was a great success in every particular. The weather was splendid throughout the' whole afternoon, and it is estimated that thore could not have been less than 8,000 epectatots present. Among the visitors were Admiral Tryon, Captain Lake, Commander Hender son, and several officers of H.M.S. Nelson, Colonel Sir G. Whitmore, His Worship the Mayor (Mr W. R. Waddel, Mr Allan Mc- Donald, and the handicapper of the Racing Club, Mr J. O. Evett. Captain Daveney waa most assiduous in showing the visitors round, and tho handsome new grand stand and its many accessories came in for very favourable notice, all being unanimous in tlio opinion that there was nothing to compare with it in the colony. All of the officers of the Club worked hard throughout tho afternoon, and more than a word of praise is due to Mr W. Porcival, tho Secretary, for his manage ment of the meeting. Tho luncheon in both stands waa supplied by Mr T. Mc- Ewin, of tha City Buffett and it gavo the greatest satisfaction. Thanks to tne tele phone and our carrier pigeons, we wero enabled to publish tho details of the first four events in our Saturday's issuo, and we now subjoin tho conclusion of our roport : — Handicap Hurdlk Race of lOOsovs., with a awoepstakoa of Ssovs. oaoh to go to aocond horse.

Betting: 2 to 1 against Alaric, 4 to 1 Macaroni, 5 to 1 King, 7 to 1 the others. 80110 was tho first to show prominently after the Hag went down and the daughter of Muskot and Tim at once cut out tho running, tho rost of the field being in a bunch. The pair continued to lead tho field till about 1_ of tho journey had been cotnplotcd, -when 80110 cried enough, and Alaric and Alfred woro takon to tho front, whilo Macaroni considerably improved his position. At tho top stretch, Alaric and Alfred singled themselves out from the rest of tho field, and ran locked togother for some short distance, but Alaric was the first to land into tho straight, and ho led over tho Inst hurdle by a clear length. At this obstacle Alfred fell, leaving Alario to win as he liked, Macaroni gaining tho honours of second place, Tim being third. King was outpncodtlio whole of tho journoy. Timo, 4min. 37soc.

Scot Free (list Gib, Iluxtablo) also ran. Turquoiso was the favourito at 3 to 2, whilo 3 to 1 was offered against Mitrailleuse. Thore was considerable delay at tho post, occasioned by Scot Fico, who went away at a falso start, and his ridor, Huxtable, was unable to pull him up till tho judge's box was reached. When tlio quartetto woro got off, Turquoise at once sailed to tho front, with .Mitraillouso a length in tho roar, and Scot Free last. Beforo two furlongs had been traversed, Mitraillouso cut Turquoiso down, and although Suihor land succcodoi in again gotting on terms with her, it was only on suffrance, and Mitraillcuso coming on at a great bat had ipO difficulty in winning by two lengths.

At this juncture, Clogs commenced to improve her position, and Contractor was done with nt the top stiotch, but Williams waa hard at it on Libellor, and tho little horse was the first to land in tho straight, with Revolver, Clogs, and Carbineer about a length in tho rear. Libeller continued to lead up the straight, and although Rovolvor came up witha great rush from thedistanco post, Wil liams was successful in stalling it off, and cloverly landed Mr Bobbott's horso first past tho post by half-a-longth, Clogs two lengths in the rear.

Mabuiag, Torres Strait, November 2, 1885,

Inspection of Missions,

I am now returning from n visitation of all our mission stations in the Papuan Gulf, from the Fly to the Baxter Rivers, and take the first opportunity of forwarding to you such information as I have been able to gather concerning the Expedi tion of the Geographical Society of Australasia, which I conducted thirty miles up the Fly River a few months ago, and in troduced to the people of Kaiwai and Sumaiut. I have felt deeply interested in the Expedition, not only on account of tlie objects contemplated, but also from my personal knowledge of the men, whose com pany we onjoyed for several days in tho river. They were, as far as I could judge, a splendid eet of fellows for such an enter prise, and well equipped. On entering the Fly we made our way to Port Spicer, where wo found 58 canoes on the beach and a temporary settlement of some 500 natives—men, women, and children, which gave a lively appearance to the ordinary quiot island of Mibu. The natives were from Kiwai. Soveral canoes came off to us when wo anchored, somo of tho natives wearing clothing, and informed us that all the toachors woro well, and said that thoy know nothing of tho members of tho expedition. After visiting tho camp, and walking a couplo of mile 3 along tho beautiful beach, we returned to tho Mary, and noxt morning startod for Kiwai. VVo were met on the beach by the two toachors, their wives, and a crowd of natives, amongst whom woro many women and children, showing that they wore not, as on our pre vious visit, afraid of us. Tho wholo popuj lation has roturned to tho village, and two new housos, each 308 ft.. long, aro being built The old chief, Dumbo, was sitting on tho stops of his houso, as on our last visit, without a rag on him, although Mr Douglas on that occasion presented him with a suit of clothes. Ho was coming up to tho mis sion houso in that condition, when tho ',oachoi' advised him to don tho suit, which is evidently kopt for apooial occasions - a pieco of advice that ho readily accepted, probably fooling that his vii-it would be more successful if mado in that identical suit. Euni, the chief from the villago on tho opposite side of tho srcek, soon made his appearanco ; he is ono of tho teachers' boat friends. I had a long talk with them and tho leading people of Kiwai, through tho teacher. Thoy say that thoy now rogard tho toachors as Kiwai men, and no longer as strangors, and of course de clared to mo thoir intention to live peace ably in future We callod at Bramblo Bay on our way to tho Fly, and during tho night caught five lino turtlo, two of which we gavo to the teachers and people of Kiwai, which grontly added to our popularity, you may bo sure

Tho Geographical Expedition,

Now, about the members of the Geogra phical Expedition. I had not been on shore at Kiwai very long, when, to my groat sur prise, Korose, the chief of Sumaiut, walked into tho house, looking vory different from what ho did when we laat saw him at Sumaiut, tho day before ho started with tho Expedition up tho river. When I asked him why ho was naked again, he ro plied that ho had left his clothos at Sumaiut. I at onco inquirodabout tlie Expedition,and through tlio teacher gothiß account of their doings. It seems that after we left thorn at Sumaiut, Korose, Atai, and Marai decided (o accompany tho Expedition, much to the delight of Captain Evorill. Koroso stateß that ho was with thorn throo months, and returnod on tho fourth, having left them at the head of tho river, tho steamer high and dry amongst tho bufhos, with, as he describes, tho masts amongst tho treos. Thoy wero forming a depot there, and Koroso and his frie.ids helped them to build the liouaef, after which tho captain informed them that thoy wero short of food, and that thoy (tho threo natives) had bettor return to their village in tho canoe. Tho white men, he states, wero living on cassowuries, kangaroos, and biids which thoy fhot. Ho also states that tho Natives attacked them in largo numbers at tlio entrance of the arm of the rivor, wnich they ascondod, and that many of the Natives wero shot; also that tho Natives wero about to mako a unitod attack on the party from all sides, whon he left. This is the substance of Koroso's statomont; but I am sorry to say that I know part of it at least to bo untruo I iind that ho was not absent from his village a fortnight, and I noticed that he was vory anxious to know if wo intended going to Sumaiut, and when ho found that wo not only intondod to go thero but right round Kiwai, ho started at once, saying that ho was going to prepare for our arrival. What that preparation might bo I leave you to judge from what I havo yet to stale Both toachors and people at Kiwai seom to know nothing about tho expedition beyond the above.

When at tho mouth of tlio Baxter River I learnt that Captain Sti'achan and party had beon to our mission station tiiore, taken tho chief with them, and proceeded to the west ward of tlio Baxter. There aro two partios of cedar-cutters noar tho Fly, and a 500 ton btirquo loading with that timber, whicli abounds in the vicinity. Neither General Scratchloy nor any man-of-war has yet visited this part of Now Guinoa. Our teachers are all well, and our mission stations in as prosperous a condition ns wo can reason ably expect. Wo havo just held our second anniversary missionary meetings in this branch of our mission (tho wostern branch). We commenced last yoar, when tho collec tion amounted to £'15. This yoar it amounts to £(JI Such a sum from Buch [a people tolls its own talo. Natives, as a rule, are roady enough to roceivo, but the gospel must have consiilorablo infiuonce over them beforo thoy aro prepared to give much. Two now missionaries havo arrived, and entered heartily into tho work ; one, the Roy. C. B. Savage, is with mo this trip. He is appointod to assist in tho Papuan In tituto at our control station, Murrays Island. S. McFaulank, J.P.

[Tho greater portion of Mr MeFarlano's letfor was occupied with the accounts of the Native women of the massacre of tho members of tho Expedition, which have happily proved to bo fabrications.—Ed. E.S.I

The ' Mataura Ensign' thus criticises tho now Vogelian policy :—" Lot posterity go bang. What did posterity ever do for us, that we should provide for it ? Wo make the roads, and railways, and bridges. Let them pay tho piper. Menntirao let us oat, drink, and be merry, for to-morrow we die. Such is the Vogelian policy ; such was tho Vogelian policy when tho Public Works scheme was propounded ; such will be the Vogelian policy as long as Vogel lives, It is the policy of the spendthrift who pawns liis carcass in order to double his splendour and put off tho evil day : it is the policy of the shifty statesman who projoets1 vast ento'il- prisos in order to prolong his lease of power; it is tho policy condemned by every dictate of reason or procedent. And yet many will be found to advocate it. The immediate flush of apparent prosperity will be paintod in all the hues which eloquonce can impart; the ponderous aid of figures will be brought to bear, and men for a timo will loso the reason which guides them in ordinary affairs. The timo is at hand for the exercise of true patriotism, the abnegation of self for the permanent and gonoral good. Let us not be misunderstood. We do not advocate a surly unwillingness to go on in the same old groove. But we do protest, and protest vehemently, against this nostrum, this panacea for all our ills, Isations aro not made to order nor to any given pattern." Can this be true regarding alocturer who a year or two ago drow largo audiences here, besides doing a lucrative practice in giving advice to lady patients ! Tho Brisbane " Courier " states that "news has boon received in Brisbane by private letter that the 'Dr. Anna M. L. Potts,' Whose lectures for ladies were delivered with' such financial success in this city over twelve months ago, has been arrested at d fashionable hotel in London for being a man in disguise. ' Dr. Potts,' it appears, was in the habit of leaving the hotel some times in male and sometimes in female attire, and it was owing to this circum stance that suspicion was aroused."

It 3eems, from reference to Home paperp, that English ladles of distinction aro beginning to acknowledge that there is as much truo art In the making of a lady's dreaa, co that it may fit the wearer gracofully, as thero is in tho puinting of a beautiful picture, and that Eome of them are planning how to learn without going through a work-room apprenticeship. The art of dress making and adjusting millinery ia one of the finest of arts, and though thousands practice few excel at it. The undersigned knowß this "i I. and has spared no paina to get the bett artists that can bo had, ones that excel in dreaa making and millinery, and whoso tilents aro specially adapted for these occupations.

CORRESPONDENCE.

The Carpenter's Strike.

(To tho Editor.)

Sin,—Boing a carpenter, and therefore in terested in tho result of the present dis pute, I attended tho meeting in St. James's hall last night ; but to my mind we havo not got to the root of the matter yet; for whether wo succeed in maintaining 10s as the standard rate of wages, or as your con temporary advises, accept the reduction and take 9s, there will still bo a large number of men out of employment. Were it not so, a reduction of wages would never have been spoken of. Such being the case—whatever the rate of wages-it ia most likely that somo of tho number will offer their services at a lesser rate, or try to get piecework, which ia just tho same thing, in order to obtain employment. The proper remedy for this, as pointed out by Mr McNaught, is to lessen the hours of labour until it is in greater demand. Then unscrupulous employers could not offer whatever price they pleased for labour, and say, if you won't take it wo can easily get some one who will. It would also place them on an equal footing in competing with employers who wish to act in an honourable way. I would suggest that tho committee of the Amalgamated Society ascertain the proportion of tho members in otnploymont to thoso not in employment, and take steps to lossen tho hours of labour accordingly, so that all may bo employed. This would havo beon brought before last night's meeting had it not beon abruptly closod when the arranged programmo was gono through.-I am, &c, J. C.

(To the Editor).

Sir, —At tho meeting last night in St, James' Hall, among other motions, was ono recommending the formation of a Con cilliation Board of Arbitration, which 1 think is greatly needed in the present stato of affairs between tho journeymen carpenters and thoir employers. One of tho causes of tho present reduction of wages is without doubt tho question of piecework with which some contractors are carrying out their contracts to the injury of tho other contractors as well as tho men themselves. I will give you a case which has just occurred. A carpenter agneod upon a price to lay the flooring of a certain job in town, and attended the building regularly for near threo weeks, waiting until ho could make a start with the work, whon to his surprise another man started the work, having offered to do it for sixpence* less than lie had agreed. Now if there waa a regulated printed price issued by the Council for all classes of piecework euch an injustice would have been avoided. Say that the standard wage for carpenters and joiners be 10s. per day, and according to merit, and that a certain rate bo fixed for all kinds of piecework, I think that neither employers or employes would havo any further cause of complaint. Trusting that tho present dispute will soon bo amicably settled, I remain, yours, &c , Ed. W. Brothers.

Mr Clayden's Mission.

(To tho Editor.) Sir, —I read your romarks respecting the appointment of Mr A. Clayden as aitP.c turer on behalf of tbe Government, and agree with you iv doubting its wisdom. I beg to enclose an extract from a letter I havo written for publication in some of tho Lincolnshire papers :— " There was on board tho steamer by which I left Eng land a first saloon passenger named Mr A. Clayden, returning from a lecturing tour in England aud Scotland, and who suc ceeded in inducing a great number of people to como out to New Zealand. He gave lectures during the voyage, professed to bo very religious, and used his porsuasivo powers to induce passengers to take up land through his agency, in the Thames Valley District. Since being in the colony, I have been through the land whicli he had advocated, but of which he could not have had much if any per sonal knowledge. 11 o had declared it to bo volcanic hind of first-class quality (near to Lichfield). I found that his statement generally had been mislead: ing and erroneous, and in several of the settlements that I have passed through I have heard complaints from the set tlers of the misrepresentations that had been made to them by land and emigration agents, who care much more about the percentage or com mission which they obtain from tho Colo nial Government and tho Shipping Com panies, than they do for tho wo'faro of those who seek thoir advice." Tlio lectures alluded to abounded with llowery rhetoric, and ropresonted New Zealand a3 a per fect "El Dorado"—work plentiful, labour scarce, and wages high. Mr Clayden must know that thero are in New Zealand a good number of families who gave up comfortable homes in tho Old Country, hoping to better themselves by coming to New Zealand, who aro now dis hoartencd and discouraged by the difficul ties they have had to contend with in getting a living by trusting to tho produce of the land ; and the prospects for tradesmen aro not much better. On the whole, living is as dear, taxation is as heavy, and as for failures—in proportion to tho population, for overy failure in England thero aro over a dozen in Now Zealand During tho abort time I have been in the colony I claim "to havo seen a good deal of tho North Island, Bosides travelling by railway and steam boat, I havo walked not less than four hundred miles during the last two' months. Such men as Mr Clayden, by raising Ihe hopes of emigrants to believe this country to be so much better than what it really is, instond of promoting its prosperity, will do it permanent injury.—Yours, &c, Arawa.

Government Relief Works.

(To the Editor.)

Sir, —Allow mo a few lines in your valuable paper re tho men employed by the Public Works Dopartment at Bastion Point. A correspondent in Tuesday's issue remarked about the long hours wo were kept at the works, and tho travelling. Sir, I want to explain that wo are quite satisfied with tho hours, Us we only work our usual eight hours. The same correspondent also remarkod that ho hoped the men would not bo badly used. As to this, sir, I must state that in a certain respect we are. The gentleman who is put in charge of us troats us in any but a kind way. He must be under tho impression that we are thore for punishment. Being a tradesman as well as others who never did any road-making (although wo are willing, and do as wo are told), but boing unfortunately out of work, it is hard to bo grossly insulted. Two men la«t Tuesday remonstrated, but were quickly discharged.' I consider it very unjust of Mr Vickorman in not inquiring into tlie cir cumstances. Tho only words he said were: "You cannot agree with tho boss; you must go." Thare might have been a different result if that gentleman had taken the trouble to inquire into the case. We worked three days last week, and were paid at tho rate of 5s per diem, but we were told that a reduction of Gd por diem would be made next week. Wo are very thankful to the Public Works Dopartmont fcr pay ing us on Thursday, as little as it was, and as (hero aro many that have no credit to hold out a fortnight, I consider it only fail that the payments should bo mado weekly, -1 am, &c, One ok the Men Employed at Bastion Point.

To tho Editor: Sir,-Tbe state of the Newton reservoir demands tho immediate attention of the authorities. The wator now supplied in City South swarms with animal life and other filth, distinctly visible to the naked eye, and is .quite unfit for drinking purposes unless previously boiled and filtered.—Yours, &c, K. Pon sonby, 26th December,' ISBS.
