PRESENTATION TO MR JOHN COSGRAVE.

A meeting of influential citiMnß) for the puipoeo of making a public preeentation to Mr John Cosgravo prior to his departure by the out'joingmail steamerfcrSan Franci«cc, was r-o'd yesterday afternoon in the City Council Chamber. His Wo .ship the Mayor (W. R, Wac'de', Esq ) pros?('ed ; and aTion^f.t tho 0 pr: .c it wore Dishop Luck and Father W. McDonald.

Fis Worship, in opening tho pro ceedings, sad that many of Mr Cos grave's friends having regard to his iong residence in tho city, his lengthy and cbho connection with public affairs, and his position a? a lead'ng citizen, had deemed it but right to mark his depaiUii'efroin Auck land by a substantial e.>p:e?sion of their esteem. They had, tbeve'ove, prepared a testimonial for presentation, as well as a puiso of s,o vre. signs, in the hope tliat the contents of the latter might be of tome slight service to him in the land whit'aer ho was going. After a ftracetul allusion to Mr Cosgrave's career in public affai's, the Mayor then presented a purto of 344 sovereigns, enclosed in a chamois leather ba-», and tho followirg coiiirlimontary testimonial: — "Yo John Co--'aye, Ksq.—DoarSir.—Wee m ot allow you toloavo Auckland without testi fy'ngour waim regard for you p-rtonally and our apprecla ion of your public services, extend inl? over many yc.'.ra, as an active member of tho City Couno'1, tho Harbour Bo rd, and other public botliesi. Mr.) Co-jrave w :'l al9o be Ion? remembered by Ihoso who have enjoyed her cordial hospitality. Wo .ioln in wishing you a ulo.isvut voja:fo and grcnt .uturo proipoi.'ty. <<\ doinT so. web' j your acceptance of the ac companying souvenir of our c teem.—We ara, doarhir, yours t'neorely [here follow foity-ono si",natureT a1) renro^ontitive of a tot?', number of ninety-five suj ei'ibm*]," 'flic testimonial liad been handsomely lithographed and illuminated at the Star Oflicc, and was very nicely framed. In rising to acknowledge the presenta tions, Mr Oosgravo was quite overcome l>y liis emotion. Ho said that he could not thank sufficiently tho subscribers to tlie testimonial for their cxtrome kindness and gonerosity in presenting him with it, anil tho purso of sovereigns. Sumo six weeks since, when ho and ilia wife mado up their mmds to leavo for America, they did not know whonco thoy could obtain tho means to con voy thorn thither, but, thanks to tho gonorosity of their friends, the difficulty was solved, and tho way wai open. Ho should always remember with affection and gratitudo hi.s many kind frie.ids in Auck land ; ho would iccalloct with pleasure the happy days and years tliat ho had spent amongst them, and ho would always regrot tho unfortunate circumstances which compollcd him to leave tlnm. On behalf of Mrs Cosgravo, and on his own part, he again thanked them for their kind and generous prosont and flattering testimonial. Tho Mayor having asked if anyone else wished to cay a fow words, Bishop Luck said that, although a comparative new comer to the community, and, therefore, not so long acquainted with Mr Cosgrave as the majority of thoso present, he could cordially unite with the Mayor in express iug heartfelt fegrot that so honourable, so wurin-hcavtcd, and so good a citizen and gentleman was leaving the community. Most cordially did he wish him, his wife, and his family, health.and prnspsrity in tho country in which they now proposed to settle.

The gentlemen present then watmlyshook hands with Mr Cosgrave, and wished him " God sp:ed."

CITY SCHOOLS COMMITTEE.

At the oniiuafy mooting of the above Com mittee )i^b evening (Mr W. Goivie in the' cha.'v), t!io Board notified the following changes of tsachers :—VVellesley-street : Attached—Miss Kate Burgees, probationer, ii> (1 Mr Crorgo Lippiatt, assistant teacher ; removed—Rosanna Starrat and Mary F.asev, pupil teachers on probation, and M -<s M J. Moll'Aone; resigned—Miss Eelber Bloom, pupil teacher. Beresford street : Removed—Mr Chas. McLean, pro btitionor ; attv.licd—Miss J. M. Mollhone. Ne'.son-street: AlUched, as p obaHoner— Miss M. Evers and Mr Garner D. Jones (tbo latter since removed to a country school.) School Holidays.—A let* r from the Chairman of the Board of Education drew attention to the circumstance that a lalf - holiday, was" grantjd at the city schcoU on Monday afternoon last, although the Board Had not bean, con sulted. Mr (Jon io said that if anyone was to blame it -\Vas himself, for he was con sulted by the teachers and gave his ooc.ent He remarked upon the absurdity of the Board allowing holidays on saints' , days, against which objections had been made again and Again, while exception was taken to a hri.-holiday being granted on the occasion referred to when, in aay case, work, would have been seriously interfered with by absentees. The follow ing motion was agreed on, "That, while approving of the general principle conveyed in the letter, the Committee consider them selves fully justified in granting the holi day." On the motion of Mr Oarr it was also resolved, "That the Board be re quosted to consider the advisability of abolishing the annual holidays allowed on March 17, April 23, and November 30, these not boing public holidays." | Complaint.—Mr C. G. Farrar wrote com-1 plaining of the action of Mr Harrison in dismissing his son'from Beresford-street' School because the latter asked permission I to leave during school hours.—ln explana tion Mr. Harrison wrote that Arthur Farrar was admitted on "ml February, and was nominally connected with the school for nine weeks, during which time he was absent nineteen times and late daily. Previous to this he was at Newton Wn t School, and was absent 149 times out of 23!) His name was ! struck off the roll after two unexplained absences, and after due nutice had been ' given to his father. Mr Harrison also | pointed out that the boy was fourteen years i of age, and had only passed the first stand- I ard.—lt was decided to forward a copy of Mr Harrison's letter to Mr F'i"ar.

"Ivo" delivered a bi^h'y inirreiting lecture on " Religion's < i'eogiaphy and Astronomy " at the Opera Iluut'i on Sunday evening. He pointed out. that it was firmly believed by the early "CiirHmi's that the earth was flat, and the firmament a solid vault in which sun and stars were fixed aa attendant satellites upon the earth. Ho then went on to show how bitter was the persecution which assailed the first scientists who disputed ecclesiastical authority in these inatjerg. With graphic power he described the voyage of discovery in which Christopher Columbus trium phantly demonstrated the soundness of his belief in the existence of a new world, and then traced the influence of Copernicus, Galileo, and Bruno in changing the opinions of their times. Bignor Trada's Italian Band played a number of musical selections in the course of the evening.

SPORT IN MEW SOUTH WALES.

Bioyoling.-A Famous Bid*.

This la the ago of athletics. Boating, running, walking, and bicycling play no inßignificant part in the programme of the various sports of this colony. And it is as it should bo. Nothing is more worthy of fostering than that which engenders healthy exerciae and physfeally benefits those who indulge therein. Prominent among the four principal athletic pursuits referred to, bicycling may be said at the present day to attract the greatest amount of admirers and ritterition. From early morn to dewy eve, turri in whrit direction you will, the bicy clist may be seen pursuing the even and noiseless tenor of his way, not the observed of all observers, but only as a unit in the crowd, who see nothing uncommon or uncanny in his appearance. Woe betide the unlucky wheelman who had attempted a similar means of amusement in the early papt of the present century, more especially after night had fallen in the streets. A small red light in the distance, then suddenly out of the dis tance a figure shoots by, moving ite lower limbs incessantly, and it is gone, only to give place te another as, like ghostly spectres, they flit by in silent procession, weird but human. Oae sight of a bicycle under these circumstance!! would have lasted our fore fathers to their dying day, and many would have been the tales handed down to the present generation of the night "the deil was abroad." Nowadays, however, the bicyclo becomes not only an article of amuse ment, but an article of service, and in many Cases it has superseded the horse, notably so in connection with the delivery of letters and telegrams. One of ths most astonishing feats of the professional bicyclist recently came under our notice, at the Exhibition Buildings, when Mr Rolfe, the champion of the Australian colonies, rode 100 miles against time. In Chrs. llmins. 45secs. he accomplished the distance, fulfilling, with a few fiscoads to spare, the conditions ot the match. During the performance it was Qoticeable that, after d few minutes' retire ment from the track, the champion appeared (although he had hurt his knee) tff resume his ride with undiminished vigour and in creased speed. Note was made of this by more than one of the spectators, and the great bicyclist was keenly watched every time he mounted. Speculation was rife, and many were the surmises indulged in as to what the champion utilised as £t restorer. Some suggested a bath, but that v;as dismissed on the grounds of time. " What ever he uees," said one excited spectator, "it c up to the handle ) takes no time, and^ turns him out as fresh as a two-year-old. I'll find out before I go home if I get a chance at Rolfe." However, the chance did not come to hand, and the wlsbed-for information was not imparted on tha occasion. An interview with the champion Bdt the matter at rest, and, far from it being any secret private preparation that Mr Rolfe uses during hia performances, it came out that it was a well known German remedy within the reach uf everyone. Speaking of the great contest between John Watson, of Australia, and himself for the championship of all the g olonies, Mr Rolfe said :—" 1 desire to add my cheerful endorsement of the good effects I have at all times received from the use of St. Jacob's Oil when in active training and racing.; During my recent six days' contest held in the Melbourne Exhibition Building for £500 and the ohampionship of the Australian and adjacent colonies, it was my boon comr panion. I continually used it before and after each day's performance, and the results simply astonished me. After riding for 8 consecutive hours each day—viz., from half past 2 until half-past 10, my limba would become sore and stiff from over exertion, but after being well rubbed with the Oil, all muscular pain immediately vanished, and I felt as fresh as ever. As proof positive, after the contest was over, I rode 100 miles against time before a public audience, and I accomplished it in 6 hours 11 minutes 45 J seconds. Another application of St. Jacob's Oil was made, anditremovedall feelings of fatigue, and I felt perfectly fit for another race. lam positive it aided mo to win the match, and I shall never enter a similar contest without a bicycle and St. Jacob's Oil. I strongly advise all ' wheel men ' and other athletes to give it a trial, and feel fully convinced their experiences will compare favourably with my own." Comment is almost unnecessary when facts aro so significant as to speak for themselves. Not only has Mr Rolfe found the benefits of this, tlio greatest discovery of the present ago, but there aro numbers—and their name is legion—who can unhesitatingly testify to its miraculous and wonderful curative pro portios.

William Ewart Gladstone.

Disraeli was a more showy and rapid man Bismarck has the reputation of being deepei and more far-seeing ; but Gladstone has the European reputation of being the man who can hold himself uncommittad to anything until he is ready, and then come with crushing force on his opponents. His campaign in 1873 yrae characteristic of the man. He "went for" the bead quarters of the enemy straightaway, and having routed them in Midlothian, returned south, carrying everything before him. He seems on a fair way to repeat theperfor mance ia the present oampaign. He is a wonder of vitality. Fancy a man of 75 holding all the cares of a vast empire and discharging them with a vigour never beaten by his best achievements of 30 years ago. The grand secret of so long a life of success is that he has ever taken care of his health. This should be noted by people who are now neglectingthe symptoms of what may lead to permanent martyrdom, to neuralgia and rheumatism. St. Jacob's Oil costs little, and may be obtained every where. Why, then, run the risk of having these shooting pains become chronic when the application of so easily accessible a remedy is a proved preventative t

A Giant Snip.

The Cunard Co. haa just launched a mon ster ship, the Umbria, of B.OOD tone, and with steam power up to 12,000 Jorte. Notwithstanding the croakers who pointed to the Great Eastern failure, and who said that she would prove an equal failure, a trial trip has proved her the'graiidest vessel the world has ever seen, having steamed without difficulty or danger up to 24 miles an hour. The Company and the engineers have covered themselves with glory, and their magnificent success will be followed up now by other compan ies, who will even excel the Umbria. It is as certain as that the sun shines that within a few years the distance between Australia and England will be covered in 20 days at the outside. We c»n conceive of no more magnificent sight than that of the great 10,000-ton monsters of the future cleaving their way over the ocean under sail and steam at the rate of 30 miles an hour. This the Cunard Co. will certainly bring about within a few years. Speaking of that line, it may not be generally known that anch a thing as a fatal accident has never been known aboard one of thoir ships. In case of sprains or bruises there is always an ample supply of St. Jacob's Oil aboard, but beyond that the health and well-being of the passengers' is left to the care of the officers and good diet

New Guinea Exploration

It is always a tempting thing lo adventurous Bpii its to set out and explore new lands. Tho vast island of New Guinea is the El Dorado of our restless spirits; but hitherto all attempts to cross tho island have been fruitless on account of the weakness and inexperience of the ex plorera, and the hostility of the natives. A Mr Kerry has recently been giving us some facts aad fnmcies of a tour, in which he asserts tboy found 12 great rivers, ranging frbm three quarters to a mile wido, and also some tplendid specimens of gold. He has shown sjmo of tho gold, and that of itself is sure to draw further investigation. But it appears tho party made very free with their guns. This is tie fatal mis take o( a small party. They are afraid, and the natives know it. What is required is a party large enough, and sufficiently equipped with pro visions, ammunition (and St. Jacob's Oil, in case of neuralgia or rheumatism caught from ex posure), and moans of keeping up a clear track of communication from behind. Whethor Buch a party can be got together by private enter prise remains to be seen. One thins is certain, however: Whatever means are adopted to oross the island, a decided step should be taken to prevent this indiscriminate shooting down of men who have an undoubted rlgkt to their own land.

Ocean Races.

ThbhS Is no grander speotade In the world than that of a great ship cleaving her traokless way across the tumbling waves. By the appli cation of steam we have now been able to attain a rate of speed undreamt of in old timea: and, | just as wo admire first the great racehorse for ■ his epeed, and then join in the maddening ex- I oitomeut of a great race, bo now the same i spirit has been carried into ocean racing. Enormous vessels, carrying hundreds of pas sonj^t'.rs ana untold wi.alth. go tearing across) broad oceans, striving to outstrip ench other by a luw houi-3 in a race 01 thousaudsof idUcb. Ihe spectacle is certainly gra d ; buthow about; the safety of the people 1 It's all very well for shipowners to pockot their profits; but isn't it abittoomuch when the lives of hundreds depend upon the race? Whatisrequiredisnotou^peed, put speed with safety. It ia quite possible, for instance, in the rase of a painful disorder, to obtain immediate relief by injections under the wan, or by taking opium or some preparation of it. But at what a cost Better a thousand timos to ifollow tlio course of nature and «sea remedy like St. Jacob's Oil, which not only nuievea the pain, but goes straight to the cause of the ailment, and effects a permanent eyre, '
