The Into Fred Archer's melancholy framo at mind during the Utter psriod of the 'SG racing 6OJBOU bosnraos more coraprehoneible now it is known for a fact that betweon March and October tho deceased jockey lost no lees than £30,000 batting. Ivor was he tho only experienced turfite who, with all tha assistance that shrewdness and " being inthe-kr.ow " could give him, dropped vast ■nuna last summer and autumn. Mr Peck is ' reported a heavy lo?or nn H;o eea-on, and so is Captain Machell.

Archer's Last Plunge.

Ourimi.-ly enough, tho la-t big plnnge p>or Archer indulged in vrafl on a lilly ot Cock'- and it led to a quarrel between him and Captain Mechell, srhinh ivaa nover heated. On the Friday of the Houghton Meeting at Newmarket, Pock and Archer arrangod for a rovji in a selling race on a lilly of Iho former's railed Queen Ees, which had specially boon sivcd for tome such event. As waa his custom when any i/ood thing was on, the j->ckoy to!d Captain Machell, «ho promptly backed Queen Bee to lose L'l,ooo. Archer had £2,000 on, and I'eck t'l,ooo. The lillyV moat formilablo opponent was General Owen Williams'* L.'rayuor, «'ho n-as aVo made the medium of a big plunge by Shemird'u Ktal.lo. Both animulH, in fact, started at ode's of 6 to 4 (agniottj Ax Archer waa riding out of the n-uicionk on l.i nen Bee, Lady Vivian from Lr p.ny railed ci.f, «Whafll win, Archer?' " Draycot, thpy pay. was the i mkpy'H carolosa reply, ax ho cantered off i nfovtunatuly, tho " speech proved pro phetic. (Jueon 800 made a dosperato r^cc dI if, but Uraycofc wa- just ton good, and tton by a i-hort head. Captain Machell, in nn very »oo'i tfmper, was watchinß Ar.:har dismount Iroai the bea!on lilly, when Lady Vivian came up ami mid, " Thinke, Archer, for tho tip. I bjelied Uraycot for a trifle " Captain Mucholl at onco jumped t.i 'ho- conclusion hi^ c ,r.f>vlerato had mid him. Scowling at Archer, he Bu-i'l bitterly, "Sive mo Irum a friend's tip*," and tunwd c inte.nptuonsly on \,U heel. Arelior wa* equally annoyed at being (inspected thu-, and offered no •tplntmtinn.

ADDRESS BY MR BRYCE.

Wavkkley, Tuesday, Mr. Ervck addressed the electors of Waverley thi? fiveninj?, in i\ epeech which occupied two hours. Referring to the queston, of representation, he eaid the Representation Bill introducsd last session appointed five commissioners to divido the colony into 91 constituencies on the basis of population, each electorate to bo 0,300, The offect would bo to take away three members from the South Inland ami a id them to the North Inland. This, ho veu i.ured to say, wua the real reason why the bill was not allowed to paes las^c session, as the Government's strength lay in the Bor.lh Island. From that he sus pected that >he Govornrnont would try to tzet re-election under ilio old bill rather than run- the risk of redistribution. Mr Bryco then described Iho effect tho bill woulil have on this coast. If tha rule of population wan mado cost iron it would cut out ono member between Tarannki and Rangitikei, the numbi-r bpiofr made np by South i tiangitikci. Sir i;. Stout claimed credit [for the Government yetting five millions of acre* of lava in the Kin^' Country. I though as a matter ot fact tt.o chief I t-urveyor, Mr 1.. Smith, had nego tiated with the native 3 fcr tho survey, and the survey was within one week of completion when ho went out of ofli.ee. A good doal was said about tho Government law] purchases, but tio wan sorry ho ooolrj not agiea with this. ile found that tha most particular purchase was the Waima rino block, which could not bo taiu to be suitable for settlement, as the western por tion wai heavy bush and tho ca?t pumicn. Much had been said a'oourtho RingCoiintiy, Ie was generally understood t>.a c. blo.ak t^. tween Alexandra and Mokau, well adapted for settlement, and which tho railway mu«li pass through ; but no land had been pur. chased, nor was likely to be, and iho Govern mc-nt dtservod censure for not having purchased (his before the railway was feurvoicd. Then tlnir ao'ioa had p'aecd the cliiaf Wahaoui in a position to prevent tho Silling of land, and had] strengthened his hands by their direct ac^, Sir K. Stout in Dunedin described wbatbac} been done with tho natives lately. Us eaiij they had not sent t htm round "the islands on a tour, but had traatcd them as they -treated anyone el-e, ai.d this should have been ilone in 1ST!). Sir H. Stout would not have taid that before North Island men, who knew the circumstances. The little event at Manaia proved thas if it ;nd not been tottled witi} Europoans the police would I'mvo boea driven iiv.jy. He had been ai'eut on the*e bubjects, (12 he-wan to perfectly satisfied with the veto of his Government ; but when statements iiko this were made, for tho saka of historical accuracy ho fcttnd it n-> ceseary to speak, Sir K. Stout eaid tho'. same cour.-u which was followed nmy should have been followed in 1870; but the circumstances were different now, Why, ha was in power in 1877-S, when Hiroiti, accused of murder, was parading about Farihaka in open defiance of the law, and when the Government men wont to tokj him they left Parihaka much quicker thaVj they went, and without tha murderer. ' Si'y K. Stjut was also in p^wf-.r when ho put euy. vayors: intjWaim&tc-,. and they w ere carted o(f by tho native!'! VV hy cjid ho not do then Eg they do no." ? V\ hen tho natives wero ploughing feetiio.-s' lands did he put them, down or did tho settlers themselves do so ? He was always charged with increasing the constabulary before. When ho came into, oilics Coloi.ei Whitmoto had a very largj and efficient force, part at Waihi aad pnrj at Stony Kiver, hut they dare not mov« ti;ea*. tawayeie each other ; yet wh-it waa dono to day cculd h >vo been done in 1579. He h;,d i-0-.v something to cay as to Iho financial {.0.-itiou of the colop.y, (hut i*, regsrdi>;g ruve:iuo aad expenditure. Tbo indebtedness of the colony tt the presetit time is 34 millpua, in round numbers, tbo i-riuui! ir.tertat cr, which i-ji.'f,790,000.

Ho would paint out what ba means by borrowed money having gone in aid of revenue. & library was about to bi built in Wellingtonl, which was to be paid for out of revenue; but it waa buing paid from lo.'ia, as loan money has been taken to aid revenue 'Si? 11. Stout said borrowing ought to titrip, ah j was heartily cheered'for it.' po Eaid Irlj same tiling the year before, buf he noi? said di:ti.jotly hu would do without borrpvr ing in ISS7 tie would call Uicir attention to iha statement, as Sir K.

Stout. t'erhaps id would -iiipri.e tiicin to he ir him say after all tha': th( ro may be a loan next ytar, Sir X Stout paid that borrowing must ee!is» for public buildings at or.oe, and yet only yeatertjiy he liiii the foundation stone of Sqnn\side Asylum, which is to cost some .•ClS.i«>o, whicn is to corns out of Borrowetl money. What can it meant Ho had tho pubiicvorkeuppropria1 i'nis chargablaonthe fund lo 31 t March, ISS7, such as immigra tion, public rtcrks, railways, reads, water woiks, purchase of n^hve lands, and others whio'i would require £1,041 000. He gave these li^uves ;o that borrowing could cot stop instantly, that a gradual tapering off was the enly method possible. Rsveuue alono could not pro.ide for purchase of native lands, and subsidies to local bodies, and the ereotion of necessary publio buildings. When Sir J Vo^el returned to tha colony, some three years ago, he (Mr IJryce) thought he hadjmisoonceived the financialpositionof the oolony very eeiionsly, and the colonyia now paying the penalty of his 'nisconception, and would have to pay in a *tili greater degree than it ia now doing. Mr Bryco read extracts from the speech of Sir J.
