ANGLO-COLONIAL NOTES.

(By Our London Correspondent.)

Londox, September 7. A Brutal fiiore-fight.

The mosfc-talked-of event of the week in Anglo-Colonial circles (or rather the rem nant of Anglo-Colonial circles left in town) has been the singularly brutal and ferocion s glove-right for the middle-weight champion ship between the recently arrived Australian boxer, Lees, and a sporting bruiser named Tom Goode. Jem Mace '' bossed " the meet ing, and nearly all the colonial "sports" available put in an appearance. Before three rounds had been fought, it was ob vious the Australian would be no match for Goode. The latter soon recognised the fact, and would gladly have let his opponent off easily. The backers of Lees, however, were infuriated at the prospect of logins; their money, and insisted on his keeping on. Apain and again Goode knocked Lees over, ancl again and again the poor battered colo nist came up to time. <Joode at, length tried to stop the fight by offering Lees his hand, but the latter would not take it, and continued .striking out. Goode thereupon replied, and in two seconds Lees was on tho floor—this time an inanimate mass. Even then the Australian's sup poters affected to be dissatisfied, and on Lees's coming round, would have sent him into the ring again. Jem Mace, however, intervened, ana as some policemen also op portunely made their appearance, the dis graceful scene came to an end. Ooodo had hardly a bruise, but was a sickly sight indeed.

There is to be another glove fight be tween (ioodoand Lee 3 for £50 a-side. This time we may Uike it for granted the Aus tralian will take care to get in proper condition.

Tfee JRival Teams for Australia

Messrs L. C. Docker and C. A. Smith have accepted the offer of Shrewsbury to take part in the tour in Australia during the coming colonial season. Shrewsbury's team has been finally settled as follows aud they leave Plymouth on the 17th inst., in the steamer Iberia. Mesera W. Newnham, (i. Brann, C. A. Smith, and L. (J. Docker, with Shrewsbury, Brings, Pilling, Ullyet, Preston, Lohman, Maurice Read, Pougher, and Lilly white.

The Melbourne Club team will consist of the'following: Hon. M. B. Hawke (capt.), Messrs W. VV. Bead, G. F. Vernon, T. C. O'Brien. A. E. Stoddart, A. E. Newton, and M. P. Bof den, with Attewall, Abel, Bates, Beainnont, Peel, and Rtnvlin. They sail in the same vessel as the rival combina tion. At the last moment Mr VV. E. Roller has decided to accompany Mr Vernon's party, and he will be available for all the principal fixtures.

Frozen illeat

The supply of frozen mittton continues enormously in excess of the demand, and with the River Plate county system coming into force shortly, New Zealand importers and agents are almost in despair. At the present moment there must be over 100,000 jSF. Z. carcases stored. The current rate is a lb, though in a few instances last week 4d was realised. The best all roundfrozen mutton in the market at present comes from Sydney. The New Zealand carcases have not been up to , mark lately, but they are still far superior to River Plate meat. Current; rates :—Sydney mutton, 2s 4d to 2s 6d ; New Zealand mutton, 2s 4d to 2s 8d • New Zealand lamb, 3s to 3« 6d : River Plate, 2s 4d to 2s 5d ; Scotch, 4s to 4s 8d ; English, Zα 8d to 4a 6d ; Dutch, 3s 2d to 4s. .'' , The failure is ■announced of Darnell ana Co , the colonial merchants of London Wall, with liabilities of £22,000. The bankruptcy of Lord Augustus L >ftus, at the end of a long and honourable career, has excited much commiseration. It proves unmistakably that in the corps diplomatique brains, influence, and even success, are all. futile unless a man has money. At the very moment when he had reached the top most rung of the ladder and become Plenipo tentiary at St. Petersburg, want of money crushed Lord Augustus down. It has been crushing him ever since.

ST. BENEDICT'S CHURCH.

LAYING THE FOUNDATION

STONE

In spito of the unpleasant aspect of the weather yesterday afternoon, the ceremony of laying the foundation stone for a second time of Rb. Benedict's Roman Catholic Church, Newton, was largely attended. For some lime before the ceremony com' nienced all the available accommodation within the walls of the building was occu pied by a large concourse of persons who came early and waited patiently in order to witness the ceremony. The late arrival.-! then swarmed up the walls and scaffolding's in order to see what was going on. At the southern end of the building a platform had been erected, and this was covered in with an awning. Underneath were the united choirs of the Roman Catholic churches of the city, numbering about sixty voices. These were led by Mr Knox, Miss Mcllhone presiding at the organ. The poles of the scaffolding were resplendent with banners of pretty well all nations, amongst which we noticed the Rear Admiral of the Red, the Banner of the White Cross, Union Jack, Irish National Flag, Christian Arms, ami the Austrian Banner.

Shortly before the commencement of the proceedings, the members of the city and Newton branches of tho Children of Alary Society, who.were under the direction of Miss Lynch, President, and who were at tired in tho regalia of the sodality—blue cloaks and white veils—and preceded by the banner of the Society, ascended the plat form and walked in procession to seats which had been reserved for them at the eastern side of the enclosure. They were followed by the young ladies of the Guard of Honour of the Blessed Sacrament, who also carried their beautiful banner of gold and white silk, and who wore their cus tomary regalia of white sashes. This Eoda'ity was under the direction of the President, Miss Kate Sheehan.

The Artillery Band under Bandmaster Hunter were in attendance at the front of the building. During the afternoon they played selections from Mozart's 12th Masa, the benedicti from Weber's Mass in G, " Sainted Mother " from " Maritana," and arrangements of several of Moody and San key's hymns.

The choir sang the Gloria from Mozart's 12th Mass at the commencement of the pro ceedings. They then began the Gloria from Farmer's Mass when the procession of the clerpry, preceded by the acolytes and crocs bearers, set out from tho temporary church on the opposite side of the Gladstone Road in the following order : - Bishop Luck, in pontificals, and with mitre and crozier ; Rev. Father Downey, 0.5.8., assistant priest; Very Rev. Father Hackett, deacon ; Rev. Father Thomas, sub-deacon ; Rev. Father Esran, 0.5.8., master of ceremonies; Rev. Father Weissel, 0.5.8. (who had tho direction of the ceremony). Very Rev. Father O'Sullivan, Father O'Gara, Father Mahonoy and others of tho clergy were present, but not in canonicals. The procession having arrived at tho southern end of the site, the Bishop solemnly blessed in the usual form tho salt and tho holy water, and then sprinkled with the holy water the cro?.-; erected whore the altar will stand when the church is com pleted. The procession proceeded to the north eastern angle of the site, and there Bishop Luck blessed the stone, sprinkling it witli holy water, and marking it in tho customary manner with iho sign of the cross, using for the purpose the s'lver trowel previously used by the Very Reverend Father Fvnes when he laid the first foundation stone.

It bore the following inscriptions

" St Benedict's ('lunch, Auckland, buiit in 1881, was destroyed by lire in 1886. The foundation stone of the new chinch was laid by tho Right Rev. John Kdtnund Luck, 0.5.8., Bishop of Auckland, on the 16th day of October, 1887. On the face of the trowel was the first inscription, "To the Very Rev. H. T. Fynes, V. («., by the Roman Catholics of Auckland, when laying the foundation stone of tho church of St. Benedict's, Newton, September 11th, 1881."

Mr J. J. Holland, the builder, presented Bishop Luck with a handsome mullet, con structed out of New Zealand woods by Mr Seufl'ert, junior, who evidently possesses some of the skill of his father in ta.sieful in laying work. The haft of the malleb is puriri, and the head mottled kauri. On the face is a ring of rowarewa, and in the centre is a beautifully-executed star of various native woods.

f A tin box was placed beneath the stone bearing within it all the newspapers and journals at present published in this city, also the various coins of the realm except ing the new Jubilee issue, which the build ing committee tried in vain to obtain. There was also placed in the box a document bearing the following inscription : "In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy ( '< host. Amen. On the first of the purity of the blessed Virgin Mary, the 20th Sunday after Pentecost and 16th dny of October, in the year of our Lord 1887, being the 9th year of the Pontificate and the year of the sacerdotal jubilee of His .Holiness Leo XIII.. in the jubilee year of Her Moat Gracious Majesty Queen Victoria, Queen of England and Empress of the Indies ; His Lordship John Edmund Luck, 0.5.8., being Bishop of Auckland ; His Excellency Sir William Drummond Jervois, Governor of the colony of New Zealand ; the Very Rev. Adalbert M. O'Sullivan beinc Missioner Superior of the Benedic tine "Fathers in New Zealand; the very Rev. Cuthbert Downe}', 0.5.8., acting as Parish Priest of St. Benedict's district, given in charge of the Benedictine Fathers in 1880 before St. Benedict's Church, lately destroyed by lire, was built. The founda tion stone of the Church, dedicated to the honour of God, the Sacred Heart of Jesus Christ, second Person of the adorable Trinity, in the immaculate conception of the ever-blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God, St. Joseph, spouse of the Blessed Virgin ; the Holy Apostles, Peter and Paul; our Holy Father, St. Benedict, titular of the Church, and ail the saints, — was laid by the aforenamed Right Rev. John Edmund Luck, 0.5.8., Bishop of Auckland, for the offering of the most noly sacrifice of the mass, and the performance of all the religious functions accord ing to the rites of our Holy Mother, the Catholic Church. The trustees of the property are the Right Rev. John Edmund Luck,. 0.5.8., bishop of and representing the diocese ; the Very Rev. Father Downey, 0.5.8., representing the Benedictine Fathers; Patrick Bronhy, Esq., repre senting the Catholic laity of the dis trict. The present building committee :— The Very Rev. Adalbert M. O'Sullivan, 0 S 8., Very Rev. Father Downey, 0.5.8., Rev. F. Raphael Weissel, 0.5.8., Rev. Ethelbert O'Gara, 0.5.8., Patrick Brophy, Esq., Owen Mahon, Esq., T. H. White, Esq., and F. Mahoney, Esq. Architects- Messrs Mahoney & Son. Builder—James J. Holland. Hon" Sec—o. Mahon."

The stone having been laid, Mr J. J Hol land, and Messrs Finlay and MeKewett assisting, the Bishop and priests, kneeling, chanted the Litany of the Saints, intoned by Father Egan, and this having been com pleted, they proceeded to the other corners of the site, and the Bishop blossed the foundations, the choir meanwhile singing the "Miserere." At the cross southern end the Bishop intoned &ie " Veni, Creator," which v/as taken up by the choirs. Throughout the service the solos were tnken by Miss Stephenson (soprano), Rev. Father O'Gara (tenor), and Mr J. Knox (bass). At the conclusion of the blessing of the foundations of the building, the Bishop ascended the

platform and delivered his address as follows : —

Bishop Luck then commenced his ad dress. He said that notwithstanding the un pleasant state of the weather, the very large gathering present presaged something "of joy and gladness. The laying of a founda tion stone had, ever since, the clay that King , David laid the foundation stone of the Temple, been a time of gladness and joy, and there in the Parish of Newton the reconstruction of the church of St. Benedict, and, in connection with that, the laying for a second time, of the foundation stone, was al.so a time for glad ness. Therefore lie was 'glad to see so ! many present to take part in the rejoicings. Many years ago when Auckland was in its infancy the little church of St. Frances De Sales was the only Roman Church, and was then considered quite equal to the require ments of the place. To his holy and illus trious predecessor Archbishop Steins was due the idea of founding another church. He it was who appointed the Rev. Father Downey to the honour of that parish. The Benedictine Fathers lost no time after their arrival in getting to work. Very soon the first church of St. Benedict was erected in the parish, but, as they knew, the building, handsome and stately asit was, was destined by Providence in its inscrutability to be a structure of but a few years. They all knew that in December last the church was destroyed by fire ; thus they lost the best church in Auckland, and probably one of the finest in New Zealand. That day they were called together to begin the work of rebuilding the church. Not only was the laying of a foundation stone a service of joy to those immediately concerned, but throughout the length and breadth of the world such gatherings were blessed with prayers. Therefore he had said that for all Catholics of Auckland ifc was a season for congratulation and joy. That was a time which tended to awaken in their hearts both feelings of joy and reverence. After all, what was a church ? He did not mean the mere structure in which they worshipped : he was speaking in a spiritual sense. A church was a place where the faithful con gregated together to strengthen themselves in their holy life ; it was the house of God, and therefore it was that at all times Catho lics had ever erected their noblest buildings to the honour of the Lord. Those who had travelled in old countries would acknow ledge with him that the finest and most magnificent buildings were ever the houses raised to the honour of God. He had himself often noticed that. In Malta, where there was much poverty, it had struck him in the most forcible manner that the only buildings which had any pre tensions to magnificence were the grand churches. Lot them go to Ireland or to Old England, and they would see that the noblest buildings were those constructed by the faithful ones, as an oflering to the honour of their Mod. True it was that in these latter days, when the few became possessed of greatwealth, noble architecture was not restricted to their churches alone ; still the grandest buildings were generally the fanes erected to the honour of the Lord. That, therefore, was the meaning of the large gathering there that day. It was not merely a matter of sentiment; they came that day to give a practical proof of their co-operation in this work which had created much interest in Auckland. It was true that they were still passing- through times of groat depression in this colony, but he felt sure that there was still faith, and when that ex isted there was always a guarantee that the work of the Lord would not stand still for want of helpers. And be it said that where ever the children of St. Patrick were, they had given ample proof that to them it was mainly due that the religion was spread in the British Dominions ; and he felt sure t hat the majority of those assembled there that day had come with the intention of showing that they had never been outdone in the past. If they had come there with their hands in their pockets, lie would pray them that in their giving they would be generous, and give with cheerfulness. As the weather was so unpleasant, he would not detain them longer, but give to them I the prayer which King David gave to i Solomon when charging him regarding the building of the Temple, as re lated in the Book of Paralepsnener. "And David said to Solomon his son, 'Be strong and of good courage, and do it; fear not, nor be dismayed, for the Lord God, even my God, will be with thce. He will not fail tliee nor forsake thee until thou hast finished all the work for the ser vice of the " house of the Lord; and boh old the courses of the priests and the Levites, even they shall be with thee for all manner of workmanship, every willing and skilful man for any manner of service ; also, tho princes and ail the people will be wholly at thy command ment."

His Lordship concluded by calling upon those present to hand in their subscriptions to the collectors.

The choir then sang the " Cnedo " from Fanner's Mass, in B Flat, which practi cally concluded the ceremony. While the choir were singing , the Caedo, the collectors passed ahiongst thoso present and obtained subscriptions for the new building. After a few min utes the Very Reverend Father O'Sul liviui mounted the platform and read out the list of subscriptions which showed tho total amount of tho offertory to be £290. The pz'incipal subscribers were:—Messrs J. J. Holland and Co. (contractors for the erection of the church), £50 ; lion. P. Dignan, M.L.C., £25 j Mr P. Darby, £10; Mr P. Brophy, £10 ;Mr Dean, £18 : Bishop Luck, £15; The Children of the Guard of Honour, i' 44s ; The Children of Mary, city, £4 4s ; -STewton, £4 4s ; Mr Foughey, £5 ss; and others. The Very Rev. Father O'Sullivan apologised for the absence of Monsignor McDonald, saying that he had just received a communication from him by telephone, stating that the bad weather prevented him from attending, and tendering a donation of £5 5s to the building fund. Bishop Luck briefly thanked the people for their generosity, and the gathering dis persed.

WAIKATO NOTES.

(by telegraph.—own corrkspoxdext.)

Hamilton 1 , this day. The youth Thomas Tretheway, who was found in the bush on the Waipa river near Ngaruawahia late on Tuesday night, was brought by yesterday afternoon's train to Hamilton in charge of Constable White, to whom he was given by Martin, in whose employ he has been fo r some time. He will be brought up before the Hamilton Court to-day on a charge of being of unsound mind, and in all probability will be remanded formedical examination. Mr .Smith, of VTai.toa, denies the rumour that he has disposed of some of his shares. At a meeting of shareholders of the Cam bridge Cheese and Bacon Factory on Wednesday it was decided to open the factory on the 17th mat., and also thab the directors use their best endeavours to lease or dispose of the factory to the best advan tage before, the Ist November. From astate ment made it appeared that £1,541 of capital had been called up, £130 of which had not been paid, and that i'B6o had been abso lutely lost; also that the company had only £450 to trade with at the present time.

Standard Examinations

Only one scholar failed at the standard examinations at the Ohaupo School, which concluded on Tuesday. This is highly satis factory, as all the standards were fairly re presented,

Lecture wy Dr. Kenny. A lecture will shortly be given in Hamil ton on " The Physiology of the Human Body" by Dr. Kenny, of the Waikato Dis trict Hospital, illustrated by diagrams. The proceeds of the lecture will be given to the library.

Codlin Motli Pest

For the good of orchardists generally, and the Waikato in particular, it is to be hoped that the Customs authorities in Auckland will make a complete overhaul of the apples just landed from the mail steamer Alameda in order, if possible, to prerent the spread of the codlin moth, which has already done immense damage amongst the fruit trees. The annual meeting of the Paterangi Cheese and Dairy Factory will be held in the old schoolhouse, Paterangi, or the 29th inst.

Raring Programme

The programme of the Waikato Hunt Club's Steeplechase meeting, which takes place at Gwynnelands on the 17th, includes Hunt Club Hurdle Handicap of ISsovs., Novel Race of ISsovs., Waikato Hunt Steeplechase of 25sovs., Lady's Bracelet, value, lOsovs., and a Tally-ho Handicap of iSsovs.

Bfew Floor Mills.

A roller flour mill driven by steam is about being erected at Tβ Awamutu by Mr Walton and Messrs Coutah and Graham.

Some of the μ-oods stolen from Airs Cor boy's store, Kihikilii, were found a few days ago by Mr Bridgman in a ditch near his place. They comprised suits of cloth ing, boots, etc., which Mrs Corboy identi fied. The buvglars are still at large. Mr Ballancesome time since promised the Punui natives some wire. He has kept his word, for a few days ago a large quantity arrived for them. This is peculiar native administration. Perhaps if Mr Ballance had another opportunity of bestowing favours on the dusky race he might present them with ploughs and other trifles.

THE FOLLOWING TESTIMONIALS Show the Utility of LAMB'S PATENT PORRIDGE MEAL. Auckland, June 14,155". John Lamb, Esq. Dear Sir,—lt has been on my-mind for some time now to drop yon a line about ypup Patent Porridge Meal. I believe ypu are aware I have tuft'ored considerably froni injury to thestomach from tea-tasting, and naving consulted my mpdical adviser,: he strongly recommended Porridge for .breakfast, which I have taken xintil I neard of your Patent Porridge Meal. I may here say the Oatmeal soon caused unplea santness, sourness of title stomach, and pimples and spots, with irritation, on the surface of the body. From this I was glad to get away, and at once took to your Patent Porridge Meal. With it I find none of the irregularities com plained of above, but a most palatable Porridge, and the whole system free from unpleasantness or irritation. 1 can strongly recommend it, and certainly think you should do a large trade in such an excellent article.—Yours very truly, (Signed) FREDK. WHITEHEAD. 'industrial School, Kohimarama, Auckland, June 2, 1887, Mr John Lamb. . Sir,— We nave now been using your Patent Porridge Meal at this school for two months, and I consider it but eight to inform you that we all (staff as well as boys) like it so well that I would find it a difficult matter to get them to return to using oatmeal. It is without a doubt a splendid article of diet. I may add on my representing to the Education Department in Wellington that I Was using yo\ir Patent Por ridge Meal instead of Oatmeal, I. received authority from Rev. Mr Habens, Secretary fdr Education, to continue its- uso in the school. - YOU (i!gS UUy - GEORGE P. HOGAN, Manager. ",'■ .. Ponson. Auckland* Ma 30,1857. Mr John Lamb Dear Sir,—l thinfcit a duty to let you know results of your Patent Porridge l Mai oh our youngest boy. He was weakly, and refused every food preparation that cou d be got. but upon getting some of yours he took to it at cince, and afterwards nothing would satisfy nim but this porridge. Five or six times a day is not tob' much for nim, and seeing it being prepared cried until he got it. He is now strong and healthy, and can eat anything. Wishing you success,—l remain, yours, &c, (Signed) . , W. CARDER, Orphan Home, ParnelL May 25,1887. MrJohnLamb: ~ - Dear Sir,—We are greatly pleased with your Patent Porridge Meal, having used;it for some" time. The children all like the Patent Porridge!
