NOTES AND COMMENTS.

Our attention has beeu drawn to the com petition now open for a prize die for the Auckland Athenteum. The reward offered for the best design is Email (two guineas), but the conditions imposed are important, as illustrating a custom gradually growing up amongst us with which' we have found- > fault; und to which we have drawn atten-. ; tion before. The last clause of the condi- ""." tions is the objectionable and, viz.,; " The decision of the Council will be tiaal, and they reserve to themselves the right of availing themselves;-,of any ,of :the de signs . cent , in, wlwther successful or not." - ''~:, The italics; are ;our bWn ; not, but that 'the '-'',:■' absurdity of expecting, the best artiste in the place to compete under buch condition will be apparent to tnoat persons reading - this condition. In two cu/ea lately we have seen designs {or Imildinge culled for,; and' the successful competing draw ing afterwards altered to fit the required conditions; this action calling forth angry comments from the' other ana unsuccessful, competitors. One ground of objection is; : apparent enough ; it is ideas em bodied in unsuccessful:designs may be used ',■"' to rectify the faultu in the successful one. ? Is ow, this condition of the Athena:um people J . openly implies that such ruse: may be made of all the designs;, if needed, whether they have been paid foe or not. . We c'annpfc ,'. V imagine thac our Steeles.our'Atkinsbneiand ' others of our best men will send in designs that may openly be used to beautify , the perhaps lass artistic work which happens to find favour in the eyes of the Die Com mittee. It is surely better to decide ,upon a good artist, or architect, as the case may ■.' be, and giving him the proposed conditions v. of thei work■ required leave the i eat to bis judgment. In this case if his first design did not suit in some of the conditions imposed, the design would be altered at his expense. The present custom of calling for competi tive' designs and then altering the one - - selected to fit the conditions imposed, is oped to many objection's, and will not call forth (be best work from the best men.

THAMES MINING.

(SY TELEGRAPH - QWtf CQRUISSPCHJDBfiT;)

i - Thames, this day. Cambeia.-I visited this mine yesterday/ and inspected the various workings on the ' haugingwall reef and fooCwaU leader. The ciosecut from the western drsvo on tiie footwall leader is in H feet, there, bging nowaboutS, feet stripped ready for breaks, ing down. The leader is about 4 inchee wide, and of a eomewbat peculiar forma tion, bemg composed oi white-lookine quart? wiih a band of sandstone running through it. Gold is seen in the solid stone but the precious metal ia mostly vieibte in the sandstone, the gold being plentifully diffused through it in fine particles. There • is at present an encouraging B how of gold visible iv the leader in the roof of the drive • as well as some strong dabs in the face and floor, and irom the general appearance of the hud there i e every reason to be lieve that it will produce excellent crufhiDe dirt, time to come. The severti stopes, both east and, west on the hanei De . wad reef, above No. 2 level, are producing good crushing dirt; but in the western intermediate drive, from the winze sunk' below this level, the lode is brokeu up and at the time of my visit the face of the drive wasoccupied by three or four stringers com posed of rather white-looking guam, ; while . the surrounding sandstone is very dark ond fiastward, hoWever, the country v all that could be desjred; and : the .footwall portion which is being driven I upon Bhould produce good grade quartz. ' Up ito ;the present no: breaking dowu hae taken place, here, as Ouly a few fe6t have been stripped , The country in thesovthern?; j cros F cut atlNo. 4 level is of n rather slidy ■ nature, buft not unfavourable. There are now 152 ibs of specimens and 55tbe picked i n hand > which will be crushed next , Clements and t party, pro: nrietore of this mine, are now driWne a&nis' ' th e,opurßeoK a Urge lode,-which «hoW L fflj- speak for iteelf »&£ \ eubjected to mjlltteatanent. **c
