] Theßnttlo between Musket'e Sons In the Canterbury Plate,

Papers to hand by the 8.8. Ringarooma to day givo full particulars of tho racing at the Y.R.C. Spring Meeting. The race for the Canterbury Plate, which was fought out between Musket's sons, Trenton and Nor denfeldt, would appear to have been a very bitter one. The three-year-oH Ringmaster led for a short distance, when Ellis, Undine he pace too slow, took Nordenfeldt to the front, and, making the pace a terrible cracker, led into the straight with the race apparently at his mercy ; but the other son of Musket-Trenton- was not half done with, and, getting on terms with JSc.rden feldt at half distance, a desperate struggle ensued ; but, despite a well-ridden race on the part of Ellis, and a most resolute finish of the colt, Trenton, well ridden by Robert son, outpaced the Derby winner, and beat him by a short neck. The following are the dotails of the running :— Canterbury Plate, 2i miles. Mr D. O'Brien's Trenton, by Musket - Frailty (Robertson) 1 Hon J, White's Nordenfeldt, by Musket -Onyx, 7st 31b (Ellis) 2 Mr Loch's Isonomy, 7st 31b (Power) ... 3 Also ran : .1. Wilson's Ringmaster, 7st 31b (Flanigan), A. Robertson's Dunlop, 7st 31b (Foon), and F. Honty's Cyclops, 7st 31 n Rotting: 2tol on Nordenfeldt, sto 2 v. Trenton, S to 1 bar two. As soon as thoy settled down.Ringmaster took up the running and led along the back of tho course by a length, Nordenfeldt and Isonomy next together two lengths clear of Trenton, who was just in advance of the othors. Ringmaster on the outside led Nordenfeldt against the raila by a length into tho straight, but the Sydney colt waa at his girths when passing the stand and Ellis waa improving the pace. Round by tho rivor turn Nordenfeldt shot to the front, and he led past the bridge by two lengths, with Trenton, Isonomy, and Dunlop next, togothor. Along the back stretch, Nordenfeldt loft his horses at evory stride, and led past tho abattoirs by four longths, Tronton noxt in waiting, half a longth in front of Dunlop. Nordenfeldt lod round tho bond and into the straight, but Ellis waa hard on him, and Trenton, catching him at tho distance, whipa woro brought into play, and a dosporato race onsuod. Both fought it out to tho bitter ond, and Tronton, having a trifle more pace than tho colt, boat him, after a great strugglo, by a short length, laonomy, ton longths oil', third, and then camo Cyclops, Dunlop, and Ringmaster on closo tonnß.

SALE OF THE BOWLING GREEN.

We havo received sovoral communications doaling with tho nbovo subject. " Watch man ' calls attention to tlio salo of tho land, which, ho says, was originally a part of tho Auckland Domain, and reservod for road extension purposes. " Watch man " adds that thoso who are so earnest in endeavouring to prevent even tho temporary alienation of our reserves should inquire into thia matter bofore the freehold is parted with past redemption. Another corresir pondent writes:—"laooin your issue of the 4th inst. tho Auckland Bowling Greon ia advortiseel to bo sold by public auction in Doccmbor noxt, subjoct to a heavy claim for improvements; but tho up set prico is considered very reasonable. Have thoso boon public or private improve ments that tho land should bo saddled with it to tho detriment of all but ono party ? Is tho public property in danger';" Whilo tho salo is doubtless intended to allow tho Bowling Club to obtain a moro socuro tenuro of tho land on which they havo spont so much, wo fail to iind any reason f<ir supposing that the public interests aro endangered. The land iB of little or no value to the public, is already in tho oxclusivo ueo of a section of the community, and tho principal effect of tho sale will bo that tho public purso will bo onriched by the pur chase money. As tho result of inquiries, wo find tho following to bo tho exact posi tion of tho land :-Tho Bowling Grcon, at tho foot of Grafton Bond, is not, and uovor has boon, a portion of tho Auckland Domain. It. is a piece of Crown lands originally vo- Horveu for tho purpose-of widening tho road at that particular-■ Spot. When discovered that tho hind was not required for tho purpose for which it had been reserved, the Bowling Club wero allowed tho ueo of it without rental. Siico that time thoy havo exponded an amount of money on it in order to bring tho land into its presont condition. It ia now the intention of the Crown Lands Board to resumo their rights and sell the property as a piece of Crown lands. Thoy arc, however, anxious to pro tect tho rights of tho Bowling Club; Iheroforo tho land is to bo sold subjoct to certain conditions, equivalent to paying tho Bowling Club £1,500, the estimated amount of oxpondituro on the land.

Moneyed Men in Australia.

But now there are a number of mfineyed men in Australia, and the pieans whereby their woalth has come to them aro known as reasonably savoury. They have therefore ceased to be regarded with suspicion. I do not think peoplo at homo have any idea what large fortunes ure in Australia, and how many of thoso large fortunes there are. Onco in South Australia I had occasion to speak of a friend who had come from that colony and takon up his residence in London. I spoke of him as a very rich man, " Oh, no," was the answer, " he is very well off, but wo don't reckon him a very rich man." "Why," said I, "I understood him to be worth a cmarter of a million I" " Well, I hopo he is a little bettor than that," said my interlocutor, " but still we don't reckon him a here as very rich |" I am not going to compile a roll of Australian millionaires, beoause, for ono thing, it would take up too much space. But this I may affirm, that two-thirds of them are not in society, nor nourish any hope of ever being admitted within that pale. If you find one of them ineide it, he has not crossed the palisade on the golden ladder; he entered by the gate in virtue of bia social attributes. If these aro unsatisfactory, you will find him outside among the nettles ; or, again, }t may be, faraway in the bush, a°man pontent with himself, and caring for none of these things. For it must be said that in Auatralia there is no universal aspiration after the flowor garden society. But the moneyed aspirant will not find that his wealth gives hini social prestige. There are Australians now in England who have entertained Royalty, and whose guest-lists have filled columns of the " Morning'.PQst," yet who in their native land have "never, with all their efforts, got further than the outliving fringe of Australian- society Archibald Forbes,

Street Obstruction.

(To tho Editor.) 3i n —Tho city authorities must surely have beon caught napping to allow tho footpath of one of the leading streets in tho city— Karangahape Road—to be obstructed in the way it is by the contractors for Dr. Purchas's buildings. The whole of the footpath, and about the same extent of the roadway, is enclosed, with no provision for pedestrians. Nor ia there room for a foot walk outßide of the hoarding, as it would not leave sufficient room for carta to pars the tram cars. Surely it is not intended to allow such an obstruction to exist. The contractor for the buildings just below is content with a portion of the road, which ought to be sufficient in this case.—l am &c. Karanqahai-e,

Cattle on Public Roads.

(To the Editor.) Siß,~Kindly allow me to call the attention of the authorities, whoever they are, to the dangerous nuieanco of allowing cattle and horses to be at large on public roads in the suburbs. The Devonport and Lake Road is regularly infested with cattle and horses, which appear to be turned out at nightfall to depasture on the public high way, much to the danger of those who aro compelled to travel at night. Several ac cidents, which might have proved vory serious indeed, have occurred from thia caußo. The writer has several times been nearly thrown from horseback, by his horse taking fright at animals lying down in fhe middle of the road, and only last night the occupants of a vehicle including a lady and several children, wero nearly meeting with a ter riblo accident from this cause not far from tho Lake Post-office. The pre valence of this nuisance here was often complained of by Captain Welsh without effect, and led him, in fact, to loavo. The mischief done to orchards and gardens near Northcote by straying cattle and horses is a serious trouble, and would load one to suppose these districts aro without cither by-laws or police.—Yours, &c, A.M.M.

Mount Albert Loan and Special Rate.

(To the Editor.)

SiKj-Thci'o has boen groat contontion for aomo time in the Board and among the ratepayers re loan and special rotes. Thoro appoarod in tho Star in April an advertisement that great revelations^ would be made at the ratepayers' meeting on April tho 30th Mr Smith, the present Chairman, was thero with a sot of resolu tions : (1) That the specifications be can celled ; (2) that the estimated cost of the work was not at tho office of the Board 3 wooks out of the 4 weeks, as required by tho Act, making the poll informal. Mr Smith asked the ratepayers present if thoy had tho courago to record their votes against this loan on the present lines. He said ho had the wolfaro of the district at heart, &c, &c. He also producod a legal opinion, ho said at his own cost. Mr Smith afterwards cancelled every thing he said, and proposed another resolution. At several meetings of tho Board ho sU'ongly objected to strike tho special rate unless the town end of the road got their share of the rate. On the 20th-October he convened a meeting of tho Board to considor the striking of the special rate. A resolution waa passed by tho Board that tho rate be struck, but collected only on the Mount Albert side of the district— guarantooa to be given by some responsible men of Mount Albert to thia effoct. At o meeting of the Board on November sth, Mr Walters moved that a spociul rate bo struck and collected on the whole dis trict, Mr Smith supporting this motion. Messrs Smith and Walters were elected oii_ tho ticket that the loan should- be distributed equally. Your copj-gspon dont had something to do,'with tho election of theso mon, .ana also in placing Mr Smith in the/thair, of which ho regrets that he cabrjtft take to himself any credit, rather blnifle, W'>on it was found that tho Govornmgrit would .not entertain the distribution of the loan, it was agreed that the Mount Albert side should pay, -for the loan, whiah is en tirely for tHeir own benefit. The grab alls say give us the money I Tho Kingslend representatives in the persons of Messrs Smith find Walters say, " Yes, my dears, we will givo you tho money and will holp you to pay for it, nnd will saddle this rate on the people that have no means of getting to their doors." The Rocky Nook and Kings land ratepayers out of their Scanty means are compolled to assist the woalthy in making their road ; and this is tho actiou of the model Chairman. This is giving to him that hath and taking from him that hath not with a vengeance. It is bettor to doal with an enemy than put confidence in a treachorous friend.—l am, &c, Rate payer.

North Island Trunk Railway Loan.

(To tho Editor.)

Sib,—ln Mr Stout's reply to tho Chamber of Commerce ho says : " You will allow me to point out that tho special allocations made for railways in 1882 in the New Zea land Loan Act at the time the North Island Railway Loan .was authorised, havo not boon kept," and he quotes certain instances ; but he omits to show that the suggested analogy does not hold good, or why should thore havo been two Loan Acta that session, Tho North lelaud Trunk Railway Loan Act appropria od one million to that line, with the proviso that tho money should not bo raised or expended " until the line is survoyed and approved by Parliament," which has now been done. The other Loan Act of ISB2 referred to in Mr Stout's tele gram, whilst it defined in a schedule the allocations for which tbe three millions were to be raised, contains in seotion 15 this very material proviso : " Provided that nothing in this Act contained shall be doomod to authorise the expenditure of any sums raised thereunder until tho samo shall be duly appro priated by Act of the General Ab sombly to bo hereafter passed." Parlia ment thoroforo reserved the right to alter tho allocations in the schedule, but that is a very different thing from tho Ministry, by their own fiat,altering the allocation made expressly for the North Island trunk lino, not only without the authority of Parlia ment, but in defiance of the obvious intontion of tho present Houso of Representatives. Tho excuse put for ward for floating tho whole million, and sponcling tho greater part on other linos, because, it is allegod, £150,000 will bo required for Trunk Railway contracts thia yeur, even if it wero true, would not justify the action of the Minis try, because tho Aot itself provides for raising any part of the loan, or tor raising funds by short-dated debentures or other wise.—l am, &c,

North Island Colonist,

(To the Editor.)

Sir,—The Colonial Treasurer says that " a portion of the borrowed money for Otngo Central was filched, and he did not see'why tho Northorn'Trunk should not' be subject to the same process," on the principle that two wrongs Vfiake a right, and, carrying the same reasoning to its logical conclusion, the banks have money, the Treasury has nono ; we must get it, then rob the banks. State business is no different from ordinary trade or business ; the principle of its conduct is the same. ;Monoy borrowed for a specific work should be applied to that work and no other. If the trunk loan is diverted, then good bye to its construction, unless, as contemplated, woven in with the net system soon to be forced on the colony. But bettor, far better, never to have a trunk line than be committed to such a monstrous job. The Middle Island lias its trunk line open for years. The Northern has taken years to decide its route and yoto the money to bo raisod, and now that its construction is just possible, ia to be swept away by tho magic wand of the Treasurer. Vogel could not have made known tho true atato of affairs to the House, or Parliament would not havo bolieved that they had made ample provision till next session,—l am, &c, Wright, Kings land.

"Improvements" in Phonography.

We have received by the rhail al'^^. "Haven's Shorthand Chart," oohMnUtfc " theory of practical phonography, mA, especially for self-instruction in; hrehe easy lesßons." Its only , rawMi,!iity r , so far : as we can judge, •fa the making of money, for all its 'adwilaw are derived from Pitman's series of instructors^. (J9th--€4itjqnj t _ sod A{ variations there are from these sUmrlMdi will hardly be regarded •"' br -bio- ■ fossional shorthand writers as .desirable innovations. For instance, the downwird "r" curve is sacrificed to tie lste "v," and instead of the "dots'; certain vowels we are givsn light dutej and short ouryes, the Utter ■ ekE ■ would be sure to dash with the ortbary half-length formations. Tljo, n'nietvlce. ability of Mr Haven's modifications lor any J practical purpose is forcibly illustrated hia table of " phonographic numerals, whereii the upward "r stands for 3,^1", j for 4, the downward "r" (or "v,"asne } terms it) for 5, "k " for 6, the ourrt "s" :'j far 7, and "n1 for 9, and tho siUM 1 formations shortened by one-half for 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, and 90, Shorthand J writers will eaßily understand ; hot ' well calculated tho adoption of inch , " improvements " would be to add' to, j the difficulties ot an acbnrato vtrina- 1 caption of notes.
