So |I»r Aackland can boast of an unbrokqn Of victorios. Of late years, Cricket has been practised with moro kiiduity and has engrossed a large degrees E public interest at the soat of Govorn- Juent until Wellington has cotno to Sncy itself not a little at cricket. Tho ilretent campaign is, however, not merely Resigned with a sanguine hope of re ifrieving tho lost laurels, but may Jso be regarded as an evidence of the *irit of rivalry between tho two places Ta Spirit whose manifestations have lean particularly noticeable in football md other athletic competitions as \Vell as a commercial and political matter?. THE AUCKLAND TEAM. We have already furnished our readers tith some descriptive notes rospocting da Wellington players (obtained from our Wellington correspondent), and wo now iraceed to supply a few particulars con lerning the Auckland men. All of Auckland's representatives are well mown to lovers Ol the noble game of lericket, but a few notes on each player may loot come amies at a time when each one is ■striving to do his best for the province. S J. Abseil has represented Auckland on several occasions. With the bat he is a jiplendid performer, and only last Saturday mek made 105 for his club, Auckland, | igainst Holland, tbe only century of this season in first-class cricket. Brilliant field, ;ood bowler; bowls high medium pace, nth plenty of head work. Has not practiced as much as ho might this season. W. E. Barton, tho best bat in New Zea and till this season, has also represented Auckland before now. He baa lost somo of bis splendid form, but ho again this year aeadp tho batting averages of his club, and i still ablo to perform creditably. Good Said. W. Beard, an old Canterbury represen tative, ib a fair bat and a good fie'd, besides being a useful chance bowler. Bowls fast round arm. W. H. Hawkins, tho wicket-keeper of tho team, is undoubtedly tho best man in Auckland in that position, and be has done yeoman's service for his club this season behind the sticks. Bate fairly ; plenty of bitting power ; weak defence. D. Lyscii is a brilliant bat and a £oo"d field anywhere. He was once tho best fast bowler in Auckland, but he bas gone off considerably. He played a magnificent innings of 46 against tho Australian Eleven before Christmas, being the best perform ance against them in New Zealand. L, Mkldrum, though not a brilliant bat, bas been very consistent in his scoring in club matches this season. He is a fair change left hand bowler, with a groat leg break. Good field. W.Meldrum went South with Robinson's twelve two seasooß back as one of the bowlers of the team, and is one of the bost in the present eleven. Bowls high over arm, varies his pane well and gets in plenty of work. Good field, and has performed brilliantly with the bat on two or three occasions this season. B. Mills, the best all-round man in the team. He bowls high overarm, varies his pace with great judgment and breaks both ways. A splendid field behind the wickets and a reliable bat. In the match Auckland Twenty-two v Australian Eleven, he se cured 7 wickets for 53 runs in the second innings. G. Mills, the youngest man in the team, is picked for his bowling. This season, his first in senior cricket, he has done great execution in the cup matches. He bowls overarm with tremendouß leg break, s"air field ; weak in batting. J. Testko, commonly known in those matches as "the stonewaller," has repre sented Auckland for the last six or seven years. He scores slowly, but keeps his Wicket up. Tho best deep field in Auck land. Holds anything he can reach. R. 3. YATt-s, the oldest representative in the eleven, has played for Auckland in every representative team since tho first one that went South in 1877. A vory steady and consistent bat. Hbb lost some of his old form, bnt if he gets set is good for a tall score. Fair field at short log ; sure catch, THE MATCH. The unclouded sky of tho morning gave promise of a brilliant day, but later in the forenoon the wind veered to the north ward, and between 11 and 12 a smart shower of rain fell, depressing the hearts of many. However, the inconsistent wind shifted again, the clouds disappeared, and the bud re-appeared in full efful gence. At noon the Wellington team took their places in a drag harnessed to four spanking greys, and in this conveyance they drove oft to the Domain Cricket Ground, accompanied by Mr A. M. Beale. • Arrived there they had half-an hour's practice at bat ting and bowling, and then decided to huve luncheon before commencing the match. As a consequence, it was 1 45 p. m. before the teams were ready to take the fiold. By this timo the weather had assumed its most genial aspect, _ whilo the rain of the forenoon had considerably im proved the wicket. The attendance so far is very meagre, not more than 200 people being present, but as tbe afternoon wears on, a considerable influx is expected. The Wellington captain won tbo toss, and electod to send the Aucklaudcrs to the wickets, bocauso his own men were so ahakon up by tho trip that be did not think them fit tc bat right off. He placed hi* team Be follows -. —Gore, bowler and third man ; Salmon, slip; Jodd, leg and slip ; "Brown, cover point; Bluklock, long on ; Morrico, mid off; Heeoan, point; Mc Girr, bowler and third man ; Buret, leg; Chapman, wicket keeper ; Dry den, mid on. Mr Mum ford acted as umpire for Auckland, and Mr Newton (of Napier) acted in the same capacity for the visitoi s. Barton and Teetro represented Auckland at the wickets, the latter taking the first ball from Gore at ten minutes to two o'clock, He played his third Dall to leg for a single, and Barton opening bis shoulders to the next, nearly missed it, and the ball spun away to long leg and allowed another ninn to be taken. Testro finished the over. Barton played the first oyer from McGirr as a maiden. The bowling of both men appeared to be plain, withjjvery little brak, but good and judicious pitch. Tistro played a maiden from Gore, and Barton got another single by playing McGirr to square leg. Several balls of this over were a bit off the wicket to leg, and to leg. Gore suffered badly in the beginning of his next over. Barton opened his shoulders to the first of the over, and drove it grandly down the field, paßt the pavilion for 6. The last was a magnificent one and was loudly cheered Barton then cut Gore neatly for a couple. Telegraph 10. Barton cut Gore Bmartly through mid offs hands for three, and played McGirr to square leg for a Bingle. McGirks next, ball to Testro, pro duced two byes. Barton crive a "long hop" from gore to long off for two. Testro, " betting carefully, played maiden from McGirr, and showod no proportion to be drawn out. Barton brought up 20 on the telegraph by cutting Gore "hotly" through prints lees for two, and got two moro by cutting the next ball to cover. The last ball of the over was put well away to leg by Barton for ono, tbe return being very good. After another maiden to Barton, Gore tried several Blow, high-pitched balls, uneffeotually. Barton playod McGirr to the off for one, and lestro got another from the same bowler by a leg snick. Gore trundled ft. maiden to Testro, and Barton Spened out-again on McGlnr by £»«*£ him prettily «w° D f? to long lef? **

Ray, under distances under circumstances which prc';to the probability that the death wasted by starvation. Tho body ia recogr by Mr Bay as a man who has beon dig in tho Kumeu district for some thrnonths past. When discoverad, tho y was , dreadfully decomposed, beidg oiioss of maggots. The body was lying oback, with one leg drawn up. Const^lToro- , man, who was summoned from -tgville, ' found it impossible to _ rei> the poor rolic of mortality in (con dition it was in. He coneoquentljjrned to hia station, hada coffin made andnded to return to Kumeu thia _noming[_,jfin tho corpse, and to remove it to thjmou Hotel, where an inquest '. be held in tho afternoon. Thjody when found was lying undi'the upper portion ufa large dogmel, under which wretched shelter It ears that the deceased had been HvinFor thiee months. Thore wero no pious about, and the other only " fuife" was some old meat cans, whihad apparently been used by the csed for culinary purposes.

LECTURE ON THE HOMERIC AGE.

I •—- • ■» ———— toliAy tho Profeesor of Classics (Dr. Pos. j nett) dolivofed hia first Oreok loctura ol the. present session at Our University College. j tho subject wao "Lifb In tho Homeric j Ago." Tho authorship of the " Iliad " and "Odyseey," as the l'rofossor observeci, , would have suggested itfolf os tho proper subject of a lecture introductory to tho study of the Greek opica. But that subject | would require a more minute knowledge lof those Greek poems than students could Ibo fairly expected to poseoss. Whether . the poems were tho work of one poet jor of many, however, thoy rellected the oarly social life of Greece j and thia lifo , could bo described without a mlnuto ex j nmlnation of tho Greek te.tt, What, then, l waa tho social standing of the poot himself in the Homeric ai;o. as in foudal days, tho Homeric poet depended on tho patronage of nobles. For princq9 and in the halls of princes his Dengs wore flung. No Greek pout addresssd tlib people, the D^moe, Until tho people had become powerful in tile democracy of Atheria. Tho "Iliad" and ' Odyssey" are poems intended for the hearing of kings and princes—for their hearimi, writing in the Homeric age being unknown. If wo relied upon these poems alono wo should know little of the baser sidli of Horfierib life Fortunate!*, the poorhS of, Hoelod subply tie with this knowledge. , They depict the injustice ol the Homorlc chiefs. But in tho " Iliad " and "Odyssey" the chiefs alono aro tho doera of great deeds. Tho rank and file *of the Greek army merely raise tho battlo-cry ond then leave a clear Hold for tho action of tho chiefs. So, too, In tho nssombly, the aristocratic poot ipnorea tho power of ths pooplo. Thersites, doformod in mind and body, ia a satire upon the lirst democratic Critics who In Orceco questioned tho divine right of kingo to do wrong. Tho courtly poet would not have dated to eing otherwisa in tho hall of his patron. We must, therefore, bo slow to accept Mr Groto's view of tho Homeric poems as exactly rellecting tho social lifo of the timo. We must allow for the bias ol the courtly poets. But if wo allow for thi. bias and cbr rt>ct it by Heelod's abcount of tlio life Of the poor, We shall penetrate into tho real lifo of Homeric daye. To begin with tho public side of this life, how wero the' Homeric Greeks governed? Tho central figure in thoir government ia that of a efflef, inhoriting froPi diviho ant_ostot3 his supremacy and privileges. Undor him aro lesser chiefs, husbandmen, artisans, and tho two lowest classos of Homeric socioty—hired labourers and bought slaves. Tho Homaric chiof is not a king, with a system of centralised povernthent; for ef centralised govornmont tho Greekß know nothing, He ia tho hoad of a very Bmall community. Ho leads hia people in war. Ho oilers up public sacrifices for them. Ho unites Kingly and priestly powers. He is tho great diaponser of law j but his law is not always justice, as Hesiod tolls us In his fable of the kite ond tho nightlnealo. His power io not checked by any bodies like the Council and Assembly of demo cratic Athonß. Tho Homorio Council is merely an instrument for advising tho chief. The Homeric Assembly is merely an Instrument for promulgating hia commands. No regular voting takes place. No formal resolution la adopted. Homeric government is essentially monarchical. In ono lino of tho " Iliad " it is said that " tho rult»of the many Is no good thing." But Ilesiod shows us that this was not tho senti ment of tho pooror folk. To pass from public to prlvato lifo, Iho Homeric Greeks havo no broad social sym pathies Tho Grook word for /am does not occur in tho Homoric pooins. In such a society, ruled by custom and tho dociaiona of its chiefs, family and clan relationships nro almost tho solo claim to kindly treat ment. But tho family system of tho Homoric Greeks is not so strict as that of tho old llomuis. Tho Homeric father is not a des pot armod with powers of lifo anal death over his children. The Homeric wife is not in perpetual tutelage, liko tho Roman wifo. The Homeric son, unlike the old Roman, can earn proporty for himself. Tho reason lor theso striking differences between early life in Groeoe and in Romo is that, the clan system, with its communal ownership and responsibility, maintained itself at Romo much longer thun in Greece. Thero is one Homeric institution, however, which carries us back to days when clan life in Greece waa as vigorous as it ever waa in Rome. Thia ia tho law of homicide. Tho murderer in Homeric timea had no public prosecu tion or punishment to dread ; for as yet thore wore no judicial courts and no police. What he had to dread waa the vongeanco of tho murderec" man's kinsfolk. To cscapo thia vengeance he had to tloo tho country, unless he could prevail upon tbo kinsmen to accopt of a payment (in cattle or the like, coined money being unknown) as satisfac tion. This custom was intended to prevent standing feuda between tbo clan of the murderer and that of tho murdered man. Thus Homeric sympathies wero narrow *, and he who had no clan to defend him was in a aorry plight. This fact explains the position of tho free labourer in Homeric times. Hired for the time, ho wn_ oven worse off than the slave, for tho slave had a permanent defence in his owner and his owner's r.lan. The days ■•/ " free competi tion " and a " free labour market " were then indood in tho distant future. And so it is that in the "Odyssey" we find the free labourer treatod aa the very type of human mi*aery. After comparing the characters of the Homeric chief and the medieval knight, the Prbfeaaor contrasted the picture of lifo in Hesiod with that of tho Homeric poems. He showed how in Hesiod chivalry disappears. The one ambition of Heaiod is to accumulate wealth—' Wealth,' Bays Hesiod, 'ia tho very soul of wretched men ;' and, in days when the unjuat decisions of the chiefs could be bought, this saying bore a terrible meaning. Again, the woman of Hesiod is altogether different from the princess of Homer. The woman of Hosiod is a work ing oninial, classod, as tho Hebrews classed her, with tho slave, the ox, and the osb. The life depicted by Hesiod, indeed, eaems so ditforent from that depicted by Homer that at first glance they might be supposed to belong to dif ferent times. But tho co existence of costly splendour with squalid misery may bo illustrated from many a country and

many an age. It might bo scon, for ox ample, in the lifo of medieval serfs, aide by aide with tbat of feudal lords. If Homeric chiefs in heathen times wero cruel and _un juet, bo were the feudal lords ot Ohristian ised Europe, and this fact should moderate our dielike of the former. In timo, the poor freemen of Hesiod gained the upper hand in the Greek cities, and became tho makers of that splendid Athenian demo cracy of genius which bas left its treasures to tbe heritage of our modern world. In conclusion tho Professor remarked that he hai recently seen in a leading Auckland paper some essays (signed " Colonus ") on the relative merits of classi cal and scientific education. It was not Mb purpose to discuss that question at pro son t. Thoso who alono woro capable of discussing it — mon who posaosa both classical and scientific knowledge — were bosinning to see that not only classical but all literary studios wore capable ot scientific treatment, and that the supposed conflict was no real conflict at all. But the eaeays to which the Professor referred dis played an equal ignorance of both science and classics accompanied by an in..ccurote knowledge of the English language. It was a dl-grace to Auokland that its leading journal should publish a rigmarole roundly abusing as savarjes the natione to which modern Europe owes tho greater part of ber legal, her political, and her philosophic ideaa. To the Greeks we owe the foundations of our geometry and logic To the Greeks we owe more than the foundations of our ethics and political science. To the Greeks we owe the grandest models of oratory and noetry the world has over road ; the noblest works of architecture and sculpture the world has ever scon. Without tho Greets we should nover have known a language more rational, more scientific, more melo dious, than any our modern world can boast. It waa f/om the Greeks, not from the Hebrews, that Christianity bor rowed its* most profound doctrines the doctrines ot the immortality of the soul and tho unity of human conscience. To the Bomans Englishmen owe nearly half of the language they speak. To the Romans, France, and Germany, and Italy owe the groat body of thoir legal knowledge. But why enumerate our debts to theso poor Greeks and Romana ? We can .only realise our indebted™., after much Htudv. "Colonus" can _avo us the trouble of Buoh re-eaioh. He haa mado the unique discovery that the men of Athena and Rome were •»/«!/<»; and the far more significant fact that a leading Auckland paper sees fat 0 publish that discovery is enough to make us dour.- whether we aro living in a civilised land. .

Sib,—At your request 1 obtained a sample of your " Porridge Moal' from yoor mill on the 31st uIL, and have examined the samplo, with the following reßults :— Analysis. - Moisture .. -. ,_ 1?;85 Soluble Albuminoids HO Sugar, Gum, and Dextrine.. .. 5*15 Gluten 7«j Cel-u-oso .. .-. 258 Starch and Fat .. _ .. •• 7030 Ash v - ... - - _ •*? 100* This sample was produced ontlrely from wheat, and thOBO results show the preparation of a valu ablo artlolo of food from which a large proner tlon of the bran has been removed. .The nitrogenous matter Is preßont to a greater degree than It' would be ln flour prepared from this wheat, while the retention ot the germ in the meal adds greatly to Its valoe as a flesh producer, owing to the large amount of albumluoidß thus retained. The ash is neavier than ln ordinary wheat flours, and as this Is chit-fly oomposed ot phosphates, whloh are very important as bone-formlng;matorlals, It will be aeon how beneflciol this food will prove to ohlldren. lam of opinion that this preparation will prove of great dietetic value, but to ensure Its oasy assimilation by the system it will re quire oare in cooking, and will need at least thirty minutes at a boiling temperature to attain this result I have the honour to be Your obedient servant, J.
