For the cau&a tii=.T t*<fci J^jistance. for tho futura in tic dista_ioe,

And the good that we can do.

The Executive of the Industrial Asso ciation, in their report which we pub lished, on Saturday, .throw out a very good suggestion fqr the holding of a local exhibition of Auckland manufac tures. W& hgUey.e that if a good col lection of »11 <tfe Jocally-made articles were got together jtfes Riaiority °-f people -would be astonjj&cflt at their variety and excellence, '£te shows at Ellerslie have not been a success in the way of drawing out a fair representation of what we produce. The ignorance j-"M=h prevails on this subject ,of iocal man^facfcitfis ;s scarcely less widespread and remarkable .than that prejudice wlikh compels our pro vision merchants u> V(M(l first-class Auckland bacon and <vhe£«# Jjpder Canterbury brands. As it fcfei-e were any better facilities for pro ducing good cheese and bacon in : Canterbury than in Auckland i lt_ is the iapie with other things. #9& Auckland Roople in this respect arc neither .better ,nq? iy.orse than residents in other places. ■Jn.tjh.s ppjted States there are people who, despite the hfi&vy tariff and the excellent quality 61 American boots, will WBM nothing but English make. Many other s.rtt«le.s of foreign manufacture find a market in the United States, not because they are better, but because .they are expen sive, uncommon, and come from abroad. Patriotism goes for very little in such matters.

It may, however, be observed that the facilities for introducing new manu factures should be much greater in the colonies than in England. People are less tied to particular articles and particular shops. Even personal .friendship has a comparatively small 'effect,upon'.trade, 'and although church eliqueism often giv.es,a.rnari a. qtarfc and helps him along, lie fliiis flqt '$Bjjffl4 too much upon it. P.aapje '.pqly need to be convinced fihafc they can be better served elsewhera in order to go there. This readiness to change gives a chance to a now article if ifc is a good one. But in order that any n&& thing may have a chance, it musb become ka?;yn. The least conser vative of people are Cv*t:-olled a good deal by custom and habit! Hop., jjoapy locally-made articles are not itany used ■ because even their existence is unknown. Js it conceivable, for example, that ii people generally were better acquainted with £ho_ excellent mullet tinned at our Kaipsizp can ■oeriaß, they would not so in variably prefer California salmon and other imported eaaned fishes,! -,We want local articles put forward so that people will ask for tfeem ffoj£ $eir grocers. Until then the latter wi}l not consider it worth while to keep them in stock. "With all due respect for the Marine Exhibition we are inclined to think that a Local Industry Exhibition on a proper scale would do the city more permanent good. At any rate we should very much like to see one tried ; and if properly managed its cost should not be very great.

Another suggestion that war; made in the course of the discussion is worthy of consideration. Local producers should he invited to send in to Uw Association statements with reference to the requirements of their busi nesses, indicating the directions m which they may be assisted by a re-adjustment of the tariff. Wo have < already built up a clumsily contrived system of Customs imposts which in many instances operates directly against the successful prosecution of particular industries. There is no doubt whatever that Lais must ho re arranged-—not with the object proposed by Sir Julius Vogel at his last Auck land meeting, of keeping up the Customs revenue to an average of £,1 10s per head, but rather for the purpose of extinguishing Customs taxation by making us self supporting with respect to such articles as we are in a position to s tpply ourselves with. There is no recognition of Free Trade under the present tariff of New Zealand, and if by well-considered re-adjustments, industries which are languishing could be made to flourish and give employment to a large num ber of people who arc now in diU'erently employed, it would surely be folly' not to make the requisite changes. Tin's, however, must only Ik done upon the basis of woll-collated in formation which such an Association as t'le one that has now !>een formed in the several centres of the colony might easily gather. There can be no doubt in the mind of anyone that the trade collapse which is already felt in consequence, of the release of a largo body of men from the public works of the colony will have to he met by encouragement being given to the development of our own industries.

Sale of the Lock Hospital.

A ST.VTKMKST is liuule ill tllO "Herald" to-day that, those who wish to sell tho Lock Hospital without first taking a poll of Ihc eiti/.ens are cowards. Tho writer is an ns.=, nnd ho* to written himself down. Doe* ho suppose for a moment, that if a poll were taken and wore successful it would make tho Look Hospital a reputable instiin'ion, and prevent agitation for its abolition V Why, the opposition to it would simply be intensified tenfold. Tho opponents ot the Act have full faith that tho citizens of Auckland would put an cud to the abomination, but they also contend that, no majority could make an Act which is intrinsically wrong light. Put it this way: Suppnco that a poll were proposed to lay forcible hands upon the editor of the

'• Ik-raid," to haul him before n secret tribunal, submit him to a painful and dis gusting physical outrage, and then say to him, "Oh, v.v lincl you are all right, you may go free," would he admit that tho act was made lpgnl, or proper, or publicly decent, because it ha;l been sanctioned by an unthinkin;; majority ? Vet that is what lio coolly [imposes for others, and .says that those who declare that no majority can make sunh nil outrage I'iyht, any more than they can makp two four of' black whitu, :uv nowanix. We rope.-it that, any man «ho nmkes such an assertion and backs it up with such Intemperate and unwarmntablo language is an uts. Mr Sheldon Amos, whose authority on a question oi constitutional law is worth a few thousand " "o believes" opinions" of windoag justices, shows beyond all question, in his work on tho >• JW"l.>tion of Yi.v," that, such Act* as the C. I). API-' attnek lll(1 essential law* which lie at the vwy l..asjs of the Eng lish Constitution, and on niiiph Ihu founda tion of English liberty rests. Jietbeil. Spencer and other writers of equal authority have taken up tho same position. We have no doubt that there are sonio — we m.-.y even cay a good many—who have conscientiously favoured this Act from ex aggerated ideas of the disca.se which is is^oeiated with the social evil, and the mis taken opinion That the CD. Act would tend to'us biipprejsimi. There is equally little doubt, however, that tho vast backing to this movement is given by those who want; thd Aot fur their own protection. From whichever side tin. support comes, it i civen in ignorance of thu actual facts re fating to the workiugof hucli Acts in plncus whero they hive lons been in force. To such people a perusal of the work by M. iixa/Uuyot; Member of the Council Mv-

nMpal ot I'aris, would prove tin eyo-opeiioi-. The o.<cpoßurea by M. « inyoi wore, so jurton testib'.e, and bo thoroughly shook public faith in the system, that on tho ;!Oth December, ISB2, iho vote for thotliwpennary was only carried in the Municipal Council of Paris by 33 to 31 votes, and the .system of jii.=iieo((aii WH9 unquestionably doomed by the popular voice in tile (Joi||jcil wnei| the Wliolo of thti ]inlicp worn transferred from Municipal control to tiio Qopartinent of the Interior. ■

Jl. Ouyot proved this—and proved it from tho official records of tlio countries wheie the ;\«U pejjfiilnting prostitution arc in force, and the .■ulmifcfiiins of ollicia)* carry ing them out. (I) Tiiiit syphilitic iKpoftsOri are much more prevalent in tolerated houses'where the State regulation gives a fillip to the custom of the1 houses ' than among those who have no supervision. In Paris "there riri) only !!,fIS2 registered, and at' the lowest computation of tile pollci, 30,000 unregistered girls/ Tho' 'rogtfitci-tcl a.-c '(livjdert 'into thoso residing in their oU"lito^ :<i:rlit'' inspection, and into those who'rtesii-i,-i4j£?t')°~ »» tolerated house;. The per cenfttgii of ayrjhnjtin diseases in the toluKitpri houses is ']!i-6 per cent. ;in the isolated houses,.Ml per cent, j and among the unregistered only 2", \,cv cent. The inspection, be it remembered, in Poris is not once a month, but twice a Week, The reasons for this apparent anomaly eto chained clearly enough by ivj. " Guyo't,' but biji pop 'disgusting for discussion in the coluiuue1 of fi news' pawer. 'In Hig swne ' manner' -tfita 'dispziea jtofflj ,'1 percent, of the Jiopulm: cases fiv Jfajnijiyg jLsjjJjiected to regulation for more thnii *,centivy ; , ].3'?7 per c.ejit. in Copenhagen, and 24-it per' cent, f.i tjijnj* iff!! subject to State reguhf ion.•;, while in Uwrpprf, -a seaport without jji spection, ti)Q ' petV^fftjtJJS l.? °.uly f 3f)eJ' cont. and in Hull 53 pec pew.

A. yiIfUPP h filled with sudi proofs dr^wjj from t'h<3 p/Mpiftl record.-? of the countries were thepfi Afits h.W been worked. Th.c very strongest evid,encp cpijijng from England, and the evidence giv^n before thp Royal Commission which led to the repeat of tho Acts. Before thut Commission, Surgeon General Lawson admitted that " A man runs move danger of catch ing true syphilis in subjected cfcaf.ions than in the others.' Among the witnesses against the Acts before the Com mission wore Di Lee, Professor of Surgery and Pathology, at the Royal College of Surgeone, Dr. Jfirens, j)r. Drysdnle, and other eminent medical men. But volumes have been written in disproof of the good claimed by the upholders of the Act. We have no space for the publication ■%t V, tittle of the -weighty fact? bearing 'hgjjinai #>em.

Tiie enoi ajitfjnrjlifts e{tm plain that articles have bcoi» ffiiown ffojt} it over the u-ails to prisoners. The luAirb bour.s have piotcstod against it.

The Abyssinian Squabble.

T#es>.e is more than appears on the surface in the '•' litilfl wjjy " that Jibs .been started, between tho Abyseininns sad Jtal'.ans at Mafsowah, and not improbably ifc will ba found that there are deeper issues in volved than the possession of that sea port. To begin with, Baron Reuters agents are completely in error in describ ing the AbyFsinians under Rae Aloula as "rebels." Ras Aloula is the recognised

I ijoneraisesimo of tlio army of King Johannes, unil tho ton thousand mon whom lio lias led at»ain=t; Massowah are not a straggling innb of undisciplined rebels, bntaro probably tlio bant armod and trained mon that Abyssinia can produce. That beir.g so, tho fact of six hundred men keeping them at bay for four hours*, and still "holding the fort," speaks volumes for the .bravery of tho littlo Italian garrison at Mnsao wah, But Kas AUmla ie a man of great courage and capacity, and with the numerous good lighting men under hid com mand it is to be feared thill; ho will make another and more successful attack upon tho I'nlian position before reinforcements a:in ar ivo from Europa. The preFOnt war in ji national and patriotic one on the part of the Abyseinians, but it is a war against a Power that only requires timo to bo able to I iallict a cruahing defeat and perhaps accomplish tho extinction of Abyssinian I independence)

To fully understand .the situation, it is necessary to gc back to the time when General Cordon waa beeefc in Khartoum by the hungry hordes of tho Muhdi, when England, aroused to tardy but onorgotic action, sent an envoy to tho court of King Johannes to induce that, sable monarch to send an expedition to assist in the relief of England's beleaguered general. The King of Abyeainia, it will Ice romembored, put | an army in tho Mold, which did Eomo litilo iiphtins in tho \'alley of llio Hluo Nile Now comes the eonneetins" link with the present war. As a Jii/il pro ijun to Kins* Johannes for l.ia despatch of tint expedition, a treaty was drawn up under which Britain ongaged horself to focuro fho part of Massoivah (then in tha i hand of Egypt) an an Abyssinian possession. I Bat Gordon was lo^t, tho nrmy of King | .Toha'-inoa returned from tho Soudan, and ; tho Anglo Abyenininn treaty was not j eigne.l. What reasons of State led to | this act of perfidy (for such ia tlio as : poet that it. wears) we cannot pay; but j almost immediately uftor cnnie tho news that England had agreed to garrison Sankim, while Italy garrisoned Massowah, and in iino eourfo tho latter Tower pro rOaimod t.ha fr.rmnl annexation of tho port that had boon promuod to Abywinia. 1« it any wondor that tlio Abyssinian* should coniiidcr thom-nh'Oj i.iTgrievcd am! should

An inland country without any outlet fcr its products, v seaport is ijecoimng v necobsity to Abyt-sinin, and Massovvah in within such a siiort distance from the fron tier that it appears to be dest<nod by Nature to be included in tho mountainous kingdom. Further smith, hut also near tho frontier, in Annosloy Ray. by which the English expedi tion went to Magdalas but that Ftaport. is not connected with roads to tho interior na Mnpgowah is, nnd tho warlike tribes of tho kingdom of Afar would doubtless r;ive too much trouble if tho acquisition of that plnco woro attempted by Abyssinia. Tho bold stroke that has been mado by Has Aloula hoa ft twofold object to sorvo. The first, as we havo said, U to see.uro a sea port for tho kingdom of his master ; the second is to remove tho danger of ultimata subjugation of thg country by Italy, by ox polling Europeans from thoir borders >[o doubt, olxo, Km Aloula

will arouso tho religious onthusiaem of the people by'uhatvlng them that their ancient faith is in .lunger of 1-cing supplanted by tho }}omishform nf worship, if Italy is tA lowed to obtain a footing. ' Thus, tho war now proceeding nfc Massowah is no mere random attack b_i ,i " rebel chief," but is a whole-souled and determined struggle for national exislonco, threatened by tho presence of a foreign I'owor hoMinjj tho cnly outlet of tho country—a position, more over, which tho Abyfsinians bcliovo, not without reason, ha» bjei\ wrested frcm thoir grasp hy an aot of intoruntional jugglery unworthy of any civilised l«o»er.

In opening the case for thsi defence Mr Eigby contended that although tho defendant did own tho property, it waj Rtill mortgaged over its valiio, " and that therefore not a

The plea of «ant of wilfulness on the part of the defendant had failed. In hia opinion tho defendant must show that there were cirquhutiiiicea beyond hor control which prevented her ponding in thp statement. The omission, thoroforo, to make (ho re turn as thorn was now no property upon which tho tax was leviable, did not clear tho1 defendant oi liability. Fiued £5 and coats, £-2 !)-•>.

NARROW ESCAPE.

On Satviiday night, a? thp trujo from itercer, its large freight of excur- Bioniqts on Iqard, was stopping for a rn.inute or t\\'o at fonroso Junction, a cry of "There's a nmn under tho train" was heard. That man was Andrew Heavy, of Wyndhara-street, \yho l stepping off the footboard before the train had stopped, fell in bctweon the carriage and the platform.

To hit Tarn Wado, the guard in churgo of the train, praise is due tor sounding tho break whiatla so promptly.

ONEHUNGA REGATTA.

President, Sir a. M. O'Rjrke; ylcc-i r^i- Mr Frank Green.

Tmk Committoo which undertook the in

nuguration of an annual regatta at Ono hunga are to be congratulated on tho suc cessful issue to which the undertaking was carried. Tho first regatta took place on Saturday last and passed off vary satis fttctorily.ond to the credit of those in whose hands tho management was placed. It must not be supposed that thearrangementswere porfert, or that the fun was fast and furious ; but taking into consideration tho fict thut the officers were new to the work and that there wore many obstacles to overcome, they are to be congratulated on tho fact that everything caino off so well. Tliero U not tho slightest doubt (hat they worked energetically and with hearty eoodwill to mako the event a complete Success The regatta was certainly alow in the earlier part of the day, but after the wbaleboiit ruoe there was no lack cf arauee ment and quite an enjoyable afternoon was passed. The day was observed as a close holiday in Cn s hun K a, and tho rcsidentß aaeemDled en m<me to witness tho' dMay. Tha end of . the wharf was crowded with spectators, and tho flagship was very liberal patronised. Jn this connection, it may Da explained that the Stnffo was utiiised as flagship till the arrival of t.no Gairlooh from jNew Plymouth ; then tlio latter vessel, oaily decorated with bunting, and having tho Onohnngtt biass band on bonrtl, look her plttC*. Amongst tho visitors to Onehungtt were a. crowd of liberty-men from LI.M.S. Nelson, who indulged in the methodH of enjoyment peculiar to men-o'-warsmen ashure. Botter weathor for the purposes of a regatta could not have been desired. Tho wind was very light Mid told somewhat against the sailing rucoa, but tho calm water was entirely infnvoarof the other events, in which a lartro amountof public interest wa-< contred. The tide wan at its full height about noon, and tho har bour looked exceedingly pretty, and was l»routly admired by tho visitors troni town. The ovent of tho day was the Senior Whale boat Kaoe, which resulted in North Shore rovorsi"g their dofeat ot llegatta Day. It in only right, however, to say that Waito niata had two new men in their boat, whilo North Shore had ono man different from tho crow in tho Champion Race. The following aro tho results of tho various event?: — Simon WitAt.KEOAT Rack.— Ist prize, £10 ; 2nd, £'i. ltfc. Course : About :i miles. The competitors were -. Nortli Shore Club— M. McLean, stroko ; O. Wells, 4 ; A. Webster, .'! ; Sullivan, 2 ; 3. Wynyard, 1 R. Loean, steer oaf. Monuknu X.owing Club-U. Pearce, stroke; J. Kilgour, 4 j S. Pearce, ." ; W. McCarthy, 2 ; J.

Imtnodiately after three o'clock, the three boats took up their positions at Mangcro Bridge, to which lines were fastened and hold by tLe fteor or.r to keep tho boats on oven terms. Wa:temata3 wero strong favourites, and Manukau and North Shore wore pretty equally backed. Tho start was effected by L»r. £rron, and was a splendid onei. Waitemata took tho water fir.-t, and pot away with a slight lead, North Shoro being second co far as any slight advantage gained was concerned, and Manukaii third. Tho course lay puot the 1 wharf, which was crowded with optctators, amongst whom tho partisans of Manukau woro in the majo/ity. Waitemata crew • led past tho vvhaif, but wore not rowing so ■ steadily as usual, and the changes in tho • boat appeared ;o be making themeolvee i folr. North Shoio woro doiog the btst ■ work, although Waitemata in the stretch ; towards the buoy wore rowing four to the I minuto faster rhan either of tho other boats. A four knot current assisted tha onrmien considerably on their way. When tho flagship was parsed, the Waitemata equal terms, but the latter then began to i nuke tho pica warm for Waitemata. .\iuuukau were rowing a longer and slower (stroke, and weio more iu&hore. Tne ' excitement on the flagship.waa intensified when North Shoro and Waitemata were ' teen muking a eiesperato etiugglo for first ' place. The Norrh Shore coxswain eteored ! a bnd course, and a slight advantage which • h;s crew gained was lost in consequence. Waitcmuta &r.d North Shoro rouceiud their ' buoys on own terms, the former making ' the bi-st i urn. Manukau was a fe>v seconds ' r.ohind Tho real struggle now commenced, 3 tho whakboat-t having to return to tho llag • thip against the tide. The contes* between ' .North .<horo and Waitemata was fhort and

sharp, but North Store hud i: nil their own way, rowing well ahead of their opponents all Ujo way back to tho fiis;s'jip, and wiu ning aa they pleased, iio ono doubted thac Waitamaiia would at laet gee second place; but when the raco was nearly concluded, ManuUau, who were well ashore and thus moie out of tha ebb tido than their opponents, spurted and went up splendidly, paßsing the flagship slightly ahead of YVaitomata. The raco therefore resulted — North Shore, 1 ; Manu k»u, 2 ; Waitomata, 3 The cheering on tho flagship at tho finish of the raco was most outliufiaslio. Waitemata crew was hoc the same as rowed in tho champion race. K. Mooro took E. Bailey's place as otroko, and tho vacancies cn,u*od by tbe absence- of Bailey and JPncchjrd were filled by G. >^ooio and H. Cooke. Tho latter rowed in tho Champion Raco two years ago, but has not been in training sinco. O'Connor did not row with North Shore, atid his pl^co was filled by Sullivan.

New Zealand Educational Institute.

A OENBRAIi meeting of tho Auckland branch of tho above Institute was held in the Wel loßley-strcet School-room on Saturday, at 2.".0 p.m. There were present between thirty and forty members, including several ladies. Mr Harrison presided.

Ti-ackers' Library.—At the request of the Chairman, the Secretary read the re commendation of the sub-committee re the teachers' library, suggesting theadviaability of having the books under the management of the liducational Institute.—A discussion followed, which Bhowod that the general opinion was that the library thould be in. corporator, and that the books should-re main in the Wallesley-street School, it bein" a central position, and tho facilities for obtaining books there being very good, It was accordingly agreed that the In stitute ehould ueeutne control of the library. New Member.—Mr Waygood was ad mitted as a member of tho Institute. Conversazione. —The question re. the arrangements for tho proposed conversa zione was taken into consideration, and it was agreed that it should take placo on Friday evening, March ISth. The names of Mrs Harding and the Misses Worm, Coad, and Dunning were added to the Kxecutivo Committee r,n make arrange ments for tho meeting. The Proper Basis for Education.—The Chairman then called upon the Rev. Mr Gu liver for his paper.—Mr Gullivor apolo gised for not having a written paper, owing to want of time, but proceeded to give instead an address on the subject of "Tho I'roper Basis oi Kducation " He thought it would baa good thing if some previous notice or analysis of tho papers to be read wero given ; thou tho mombors would com» moro lully prepared for discussion, and al though he had not acted up to these idea* on tho presont occasion, he trusted he might yet carry them out at come future time. Jle then proceeded to illustrate the iact, from tho lives of ouch great thinkers a» Carlyle, liuskin and Spencer, that these men in their early days were not. subjected to a laborious course of education,, and probably hac! had less trouble in that way than any of those who wore present.. Notwithstanding these drawbacks, the men ho had mentioned became groat leaders.. Perhaps the answer given by Topsy, of " Undo Tom's Cabin," might somewhat, account for the phenomenon, when she said. " the specs she growed." Being left alone,. Nature had doveloped their various faculties in their proper oroer. Nature, then, was> the basis of education. Much time and' labour had been expended to show how loseons should bo given in arithmetic, geo graphy, grammar, etc., tut all thia wuuldl prove futile unless the work was carried oci side by side with Nature. Kettles were> proviaed with long and convenient spouts' tor pouring in facta at the present day, "¥oui may fork out Nature, butshe will comeback."' To follow Nature and put her side by sidei with us, it was necessary to understand whut M'a3 underlyiog the whole subject, i.c , the order of development of a boy's* mind. Psychology, a Bcience dealing with tho various powers of the mind, would teach that thu mental powers were anala goua to the bodily powers. Tho speaker then explained that these powers do not develop in a chauce way, but in accordance with certain definite laws. Thus we find the powers of observa tion come lirst, and lastly reason and judg ment. The speaker-was under tho impres sion that tho study of grammar was forced upon the cbilriren at too early an age. Sub-. jects mu*t be adapted to the order of de velopment. Nature lays down certain roads which should be followed if we wish to suc ceed. Mr Gulliver concluded by saying tliat it was one of the most important studies?, but ono about which very little was known. —Mr Harrison exprested his. regret at tho shortness of Mr Gulli ver's admirabio address. — Mr Worthing^ ton, in speaking in reepect to Mr Gulliver's address, eaid that teachers'

wora expected to prepare children for standards, and not educate them ; in facfe the teachers of the present day were simply haunted by \ i-irma of standards. Education was out of the question.—Mr Koberteon and Mr Scott aUo spoke on the Bubjeet of tha paper. Mr Scott said they rocognieed tho truth of Mr Gulliver'n remarks, bat their individuality was cramped by the excessive requirements of the standards* and tho competition for passes hi them.— Mr Harrison eaid that any person taking a position under tho present oducation tystem must know that ho had to instruct, and nod educate the pupils. It was to be hoped that better days wero coming.—Mr Gulliver pointed out that when injustices existed the teachers had no right to sit down calmly under them, for who better fitted to give an opinion upon these matters than those whose lives wero devoted to the work S—i Mr Coatea eaid that in many instances tbo Committees cor.&ulted with the head teachers upon school mnttere..—A liearty vote of thanks was accorded Mr Gulliver fos his very excellent address. Tho meeting then terminated.

The Charge Against Dr. Con nolly.

(ay rF.LEGRAPH— OWN COEBBSrONDENT.J

Wanoanui, this day. Ix connection with, Dr. Connolly's case, Mr Pope, the informant, is not by any means fa,tiefied with the dismissal of the ease, and has gone to Wellington to consult Mr Jialli coo about taking up a now case. He urges that as none of the local) lawyers would toko up the cose he was placed at a disadxan, tage. Local opinion varies as to tka ' dismissal. The " Chronicle'1 * e^preqaea tb© opinion that the justices acted properly in dismief iug tho oharge. The •-' Herald,^ | dealing with complaints as to'the iulnesa t^ : - , tho reporta in th'b newspapers, as a iustifica tion urges that the press representative's were the only members of the public ad, rriitted to the heaving,and that the accuse^, being a professional man, the paolic ntjd c, \ right to know what wa,s going on, and. thas fu,rtber the pross had to consider the pos* Bible effect on the public mind had the caBB been dismissed at the same time that no I facilities were given to tha public to know U what was fjoing on. It would have looked like partiality to Dr. Connolly on account of his position, and consequently they de cided top-iblish the evidence at length. An to the complaint of Mr Pope that a portion of his wife's evidence was left out, they s acknowledge the truth of the remark, bat explain that it wa3 only the names of two ' persons entirely unconnected with the case, the publication of which would have given needless pain.

MASTER MARINERS PICNIC.

The Glenelg's excursion to St. Helier'a Bay on Saturday afternoon proved to be a most; enjoyable one. Tho rival cricket) teams, representing H.M. Customs and tho Master Mariners of the port, pitched their wickot on a level spot close to tho wharf, and near by waa a large awning erected, whero refreshments were pro vided in profusion. The Customs eleven played about double their number on tho opposing side, and scored a victory by four runs and threo wickets to spare. The game was rather of an amateur descrip tion fiom first to last, and the score list is remark able for the large number of "duck ej'gs " recorded. For the Master Marinors some good scoring, v:aa done by Captains Cooper, McKenzie, Pereson, and for' the Custom?, Messrs Brabazon, Heighway, Powor and UcLarand were large contribu tors to tha total of 6-1. Stumps . were drawn at 6 p m., when Mrs Walker, on behalf of the master marinere, presented Mr McLariud, as the best scorer on the Customs side, with tho bat that had besn on view in Mr Tilly's window for some time previously, and Mr Thomas Hill,. Collector of Customs, handed to Captain J. McKcnzia a new hat neatly done up in a parcal in honour of his top acure for the Mariners. 1 bo hat wab unpacked amidst oome o.uriosity, apd was found to be a neatly got-up tin boj topper, which the recipient donned*' amidst roars of laughter, Shortly affer choers were given ,by the opposing teams for, their . hardy' antagonists, and tho party returned to ,town Bhortly aftoe S p.m. .; , J .t *•■
