At this point, Spade Guinea began to move up, and Wapiti also commenced improving his position. Round the top stretch, Derringer still had command of affairs, and it appeared as if he would win. Nearing the entrance to the straight, however, he died away, and White rushing Spade Guinea to the front, the issue was never afterwards left in doubt, Mr Drake's mare winning in the easiest manner by.two lengths.

TABLE TALK.

Cricket all the rage. Yes ; we soon " change the folly" here. This isn't a " brutal game", but there are frequently accidents at it. Suggestions for a comic poem on the match—Cricket, wicket; ball, fall; stumps, bumps, thumps, lumps 1 And after it's all over (banquet included) "jumps, "eb?

Amateur soldiering taking a rest now. High time too ! The crockery at tbe North Shorewasgettingdemolished by " the diapason of the cannonade," so to speak.

Ob, more deadlyexecution than that. A lot of susceptible feminine hearts badly broken by military " mashers."

You dont say bo. The Pukekohe canaries, Te Awamutu bumpkins, and Waiuku warriors—regular Adonises, eh .

Yes, these '* bumpkins," as you call them, are no small pumpkins !

" The Harmy" had its own little " en campment" at Otahuhu yesterday. The " regulars" Beem to have a regular fond ness for that " pleasant village." Lotß of larrikins there, don't yon know : opportunity for showing bravery, and also' of exercising the ambulance corps !

Still plenty of holiday entertainments, don't you think ? -jggs, indeed. "Hazel Kirke" at the Opera House; " Britannia and Her Daughters," in St James's Hall ; and en tertainments in the Agricultural and City Halle.

Besides a lawn tennis dance at North Shore, and ooncerb at Onehunga to-night. Rev. Mr Spurgeon is to lecture on " Luck " to-night. Good luck to him ! I hope he'll not for get to say a good word for the totalisator. . Oh, that isn't at all probable. But he is more likely to break forth in this style :—

Lucks the giddiest of all creatures. 1' Nor likes Iv one place long to stay; She smoothes the hair back from your feature* Kißses you quiok, and runs away. '•?!?*.

Why, that's jnst the reverend gentleman's poetical style. Is he the author 1 ■ Don't know ; listen to how the poet pro ceeds :—

Dame 111-Luck is in no such hurry, Norqiiickher close embraceshe quits; She says she's In no kind of flurry, Arid sits upon your bed and knits. Ah 1 There yon - have a lecture upon .. Lucks" in eight lines.- Perhaps Mr Spur geon will say, after all, there's no such thing as luok !, " ','

And yet Borne people say "Luck's all I" What did you win at the races yesterday ? Oh, bad luck's all there!

Yes; especially for., lottery men and "under and over" swindlers. Don't get shirty! I didn't say yo|j|were one of thßt lot; but I suppose you lost a sovereign or two by not backing a " guinea." i The Premier has returned South to hia beloved Dunedin. Seems very much devoted to that place.

Say, rather, deeply devoted to his good fat legal practice there. l ■ ' I should say any praotioe he had would be "fat " ; a little Banting practice Would be a good change for b'-n. A" number of Port bo aimers people aro memoralising the Legislature to apportion £3,000 of the Kaitangate Relief Fund towards the Bulli Relief Fund. '

That's greater generosity than Scots are usually credited with; a most excellent sug gestion. :

But I don't suppose the members of the Legislature will agree to it, they are not generous, and will incline to keep our fish guts for our own sea-mews.

Auctioneers' licenses expire on Friday next, and require to be renewed at once. Come, gentlemen of the hammer, stump up 1 " Going—going !" Different ways of observing Easter Mon day holiday in different parts of the colony. Sol notice. Sculling match aft iver ton, in the far South; bicycle racos and football at Christchurch; volunteer review at New Plymouth.

Hearn, of Wellington, won the Champion Sculling Match at Riverton easily. The only " foul" was the very foul weather. Tbe ten-mile championship bicycle race at Chrietchurch was won by Bean of the cathedral city. The Easter encampment at Taranaki waa a "great succesy' save that the food waa badly cooked.

Of course, there can't be a Volunteer affair without some " trouble" sticking out now-a days. But they had " the very model of a modern Major-General there and they ought to be happy ' The Faith Healer haß no meeting to-nisht on account of the Choral Hall leing en gaged. B

How so . i! T^J. h!< f?"? 1?? tho* PeoP-° may be healed by " faith » or the emotional excite rL Pannt Cedbyit 'an^ yet,,eCondeMß Well, I should aay it's a good thing to get cured in any way whatever, and a'close of emotional excitement" is a good deal pleaeanter to take than a lot of nasty doctor's stuff! J O, Jeremiah ! Did you hear what's goiner to happen at Lake Takapuna? & Don't harrow my feelings, like a good fellow. What is it?

A horridpubliohouse is tobe started there under the title of "family hotel," with splendid view, boats on the lake, and other devices of Satan. There will be very soon a lot of yonne hotels-a "a family " arrangement—regular V grog-shanties scattered all over that lovely < district -at present an Eden without the serpent. - I don't know ; bat it seems to me tha Lake water would be the better of havW a little spirit infused into it. •»»"■■£
