LATE SHIPPING.

The steamer Chelmsford arrived from Opotiki this afternoon.

THE RECAMIA.

The ketch Recamia, supposed to have capsized at Kaipara on Wednesday evening last, was in charge of Captain Hulse and her crew was shipped ab Lyttleton. She was under charter to carry piles from Kaipara to New Plymouth breakwater. Cap tainNorbury,of the s.s. Staffa,reports having spoken her off the Kaipara on Wednesday afternoon, and he concludes that she was trying to get into port before dark when the supposed mishap occurred. Captain Robertson, of the s.s. Oreti, supplied Cap tain Hulse with a chart of the itaipara at Wanganui very recently, and also gave him information as to entering. He passed close to the Recamia under reefed canvas about 15 miles off the Waikato on the last trip of the Oreti from Wanganui to One hunga. The wind was then blowing very hard from S.E., and there was a consider able S. W. swell, which would make a heavy bar.

THE RIFLE ASSOCIATION MEETING.

Tbe Question about Rifles.

(BY TELEGRAPH—OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

Dunedin, this day. Much interest is being manifested by Volunteer shootists in the discussion now going on amongst members of the New Zealand Rifle Association as to the kind of weapon to bo used at the next meeting at Oamaru. It is probable thatlnvercargill and Oamaru will favour the proposal made by Borne of our local Volunteers for the reten tion of the Snider rifles. The " Star" hopes that sufficient pressure will be brought to bear on the authorities to prevent what is really a colonial movement falling into the hands of a few interested individuals. The local Rifl© Association met- to consider the matter on Saturday. The meeting was at tended by fifty. It was unanimously re solved that the Council be recommended to hold the meeting on the second week of January. By 24 to 17 it was resolved that the pro posed adoption of the Remington-Lee rifle is prejudicial to the interests of rifle shoot ing in the colony, as it practically prohibited numerous intending meetings from competing, and that the Association competitors should use the weapon with which the volunteers are armed.

Mr Connell's Mcctiug at Wai komitl.

(To the Editor.)

Sir, — With reference to Mr John S. Kelly's statement in Saturday's Star, deny ing the correctness of my letter in a former issue of your paper, I now challenge Mr Kelly and the "men of character and ability " mentioned by him to publish the names and places of abode of the 'bus load of Avondale electors who went to the Wai komiti meeting.—l have, etc., John Bollard.

Last Friday evening the members of the Wanderers' Club met at the residence of Mr Carr, when Miss King, on behalf of the donors, presented them with an elegant banner. The lady made a capital speech while handing over the colours. Mr J. Whelan, on behalf of the club,responded, returning thanks with a few appropriate remarks. Three cheers were then given for the fair donors of the flag, after which the evening was enjoyably passed in a social manner. The weekly meeting of the Beresford street Mutual Improvement Society was held last Thursday evening. The third volume of " Our Magazine" was read by the Editor. It contained some very interesting contributions from various members, and was a far better production than either of the two previous numbers. Next Thursday a lecture will be given by Mr G. Fowlds on " South Africa." The Temperance Hall was filled to its utmost capacity on Saturday night, the attraction being the abstainers of H.M.S. Opal, who, through the kindness of the captain and officers, were allowed to meet the friends of the cause, and mutually en • joy the evening. Mr Jenkins presided, and Sir William Fox also appeared on the plat form, and gave a few words of encourage ment. Messrs Griffin, Daly, Tancock, Lloyd, Jones, Kemp, Houlday, Kinsman, Young, and Brown contributed songs, and Messrs Hester, Smith, Clothier, Tancock, and Townsend gave recitations. The pro ceedings terminated with the National Anthem. The recent surprising victory of Bendigo in the Jubilee Stakes with a top weight, says a writer in the Licensed Victuallers' Gazette, has set people raking up authorities as to tbe supposed effect of such impositions upon he thoroughbred ; and, as usual, experts are found to disagree. General Peel, and he was a very good authority, held that every pound added to a horse in weight brought a diminution in the length of his stride; while Admiral Rous, another de cidedly in " the know," asserted that a horso handicapped at Bst strided as far as another did with 6st, but that he could not keep on galloping at his full stretch over the same distance of ground. The late Joseph Dawson was ofopinion that addi tional weight did not Bhorten a horse's stride, but that it told by making him stride the ground more slowly and at longer intervals than when less burdened. Some of our readers may remember the Cali fornian photographer whoa few years back exhibited some extraordinary photos of the action and paces of horses galloping at full speed, which was caught by an in stantaneous process, and, judged by these sun pictures, which, as the Yankee said, "can't lie," General Peel's dictum—that weight diminishes the stride- is fully born out. However, no hard and fast rule can be made for good horses such as Bendigo, whose grand form seems to make him in sensible to burdens, though they may very well be applied to the rank and the file of the equine race.

A POET, PROFESSOR AND PUGILIST.

Most people have heard of John Wilson, 1 poet, Professor of Moral Philosophy at the Edinburgh University, a boxer whose fists were dfeaded even by the Phonal hunting-man, and anglerv-about the strang est mix up of character t-fcat ever existed in one piece of humanity, f ben he yaaaJ Oxford there was a noted pugilist m the classic town, named Jack Svands, dreaded by everyone, and who was very fondl of playing tho bully in wnseomence. One day he met Wilson while out W_kva% and according to his wont, tried So- pick a quarrel with him. The young B*jent at once offered to fight. "Fight rfJ cued the fellow. " Don't you know who .1- am . "Oh, yes; I know who yon are, -and l mean to let you feel who I am," w«w the cool rejoinder; and in five minutes\ Mr Jacks Soands had got his belly-full. £on must be either Jack Wilson or the di-wii, for I was never licked in Oxford befoi-e, he said, as he tried to staunch the flown*-. stream from his nasal organ. Bat, abo\-V^ all, Wilson was an enthusiastic angler, anc* was so lucky with his rod that it seemed as* if there was a competition among the trout as to which should first have the honour of swallowing his bait, for they came to him not in single files, but in battalions. Hogg, the Ettrick Shepherd, used to tell a story how Wilson once came into a Scotch country inn, where a famished party h«d eaten up all in the house, and were still hungry. "Do you like trout?" inquired the pro fessor. Of course they did. Upon which he proceeded to produce the resullt of his day's sport. " His creel was fu'." jsays the shepherd, "his shooting-bap: eras* in, his jacket pouches were fu', the pouches fii his very breeks were fu', half a cfizen wee anes in his waistcoat, no' to forget them in itfio croon of his hat, and last ot a', there beuig no place to stow away ony mair, a willow wand drawn through the gills of soi_3 dizzen great big anes." To repea< a few of his angling feats-in one place be* took, sir, at another 10, at another 18 -rfozen. One day, whilo limping about, -"..ving wounded bis heel leaping with a band of tinkers, the professor hegan to fish in Loch Awe. He hooked ono of the large trout for which the lake is famous. His line was weak, and, afraid to lose the fish, he cast himself into the loch, yielding to the motions of the strong creature until it became fatigued and manageable. Then be swam ashore with his victim, and carried it home; the injured heel, for which he had no bandage, bleeding all the way.
