NEW ZEALAND INDUSTRIAL ASSOCIATION.

The third general meeting of this body took plaoo on Friday night in Robson'a Radius, bu fc was only sparsely attcp.dou, about twenty members being preEont. Mr Goorgo Fraser presided. Tho Secretary having presented tho report, which wa? published in extonEO in our last issue, the Chairman formally moved ndoption.

Mr John Lamb, in toconding (he motion, said that while ibe -Association was increas ing in numerical strength one would natu rally expoct. that tho interest in its proceed ing should proportionally inoreas-e.bnl; the me;j [.:re attondancs ut that meetfng did j riot bonr out, puoli expectations.

. t.r.t*. IV-ir.poteijt. Kngiis.'i awhtyvicr v;ere i;ow promulgating the opinion th.r, Eng land w'th bor free trade poliuy »m being S outnvallcd ia the production of many j articles of commerce by Continental coun- I trios, where wages were smaller and the F hours of work longer. America was aleo ! pvodiicing largely many articled which she I had never been able) to produce to advftn ' taga until recently. He thought tbo ques tiopH raised by the report, which was * very interes-tinp one, should be very seriously considered. Mr Andrew 801 l considered that the in dußtiial deprePßion in this colony was of a vary serious character. The colonists of iiair Zealand were in need of greater back bone -more independence of spirit- bo that there should ba losa and le«s dcjiendence upon the old country. We should en i doavoiir to be self-Hupporting, and a? soon jus possible. Th K rc were now many young I men wanting employment who could not ' get it bocausu o! tbe slackness of our ■ locul iodustriea. Ho couid not understand f how people could stand by and bo in different to their own interests in not putting a stop to thu VogeliMii and waste whioli charactorired the colony, and he therefore strongly advocated the principle of .TX'otcction «pa means to that end.

(■ Mr lye was disappointed at the paucity I 'Of the attendance, and advocated the adop tion of some means to revive intcreft in tho j | Association. The problem to be solved was ' —How was the capital of the colony to be retained in the country? and his reply was — U^e it in paying wages fo the people who are on the verge of starvation, Mr Brame said protectionist versus freo trade theories might be a pleasant study for some people, but the practical question was—How were tho people to get their daily bread '! Tho free trade ernzo had be i gun to show n turn even in Eng j land. The very centre of the sys | tern, Manchester, had recently be!d i a representative gathering to discuss tha '; question, when 21 voted for protectioti and •22 tor freo trade, a few others taking ' time to consider. In Lincolnshire re j ciarjtly the largest mass meeting ever j known in that country had almost un , animnusly voted Jor tha protection tickot. ' Sngland was patriotic only where tho ruling power of the hour saw how to get gold. She was froe trade because the manufac turers—iba political party ot the day — could make wealth at tha expense of the agriculturists. The policy was selfish and ruinous. It was not true that town and country interests were i inimical—they were one and the same. | If the workshops were closed, the peuplo i oould not pay for tho country produco. , Therefore, it was to the interest of the | country to buy the industries of the town, | aud for the town to take tho produce of the :; country in re'iirn. Hu urj;ed the employ ; ment of pood and intelligent men to go into all the cenuan of population and teach the people these things, and convert them from the present error of their ways. After some, remarks from Mr E. Me- Manns, Air Lamb rraid that with regard to the Marine Exhibition proposed by Sir Julius ■Vogel, tiiey intended to make 'he attempt to rai-atoa guf.ratjtee of £25,000, though he c^uld no,! say vrbother they would succeed or not.

Mr 'Jrauwoll piiacefted that a capable lectu'tr should be employed to travel through, tho country and explain to the various centres of the province what was wanted in tbe chape of a corcmercial policy. We did not believo the Marine Exhibition ■would succeed.

Tbe Chairman endorsed tbe suggestion re tbe employment of a lecturer. At the fame time ho considered that every work ing man should assist in adding to the mamberehip of tbe Association. The motion was then put and adopted.

Mr.Lamb mooted the advisability of bay ing a Guarantee Fund for the employment 01 a competent lecturer in the country Oil*- trictc. He did not think they could do it for ies-s than £1,000 a year.

Mr Pyo thought they might have running advertisements iv the newspapers, calling upon the various trades to come togetner ana nssiet in the movement. More energy should bo manifested in promoting the

Mr Brame advisod tho introduction of the subject o: protection to tho notice of Trades Unioas.

JThe Chairman admitted that their chief aim should be to make the objects of their ;j Association h:nown to working men,and pro ! mi^ed thuv the executive would consider j the suggestions thrown out.

Mr Mennie expreseed his preference for the system of advertising in newspapers rather than calling upun tho Trades Uuions, which were established for other objects. The meeting then dissolved.

Mercer Regatta and Athletic Sports.

xjh-; Committee ol: Management, especially the energetic secretary, Mr Thomas Porter, may congratulate fieineelvoe upon the great success of Saturday's gathering at Mercer. Everybody was pleased, and, if opportunity admits, will como again next year. The weather was grand, although a "leetle" too hot. It was over 90 in the shade.

and it was doubly interesting to watch thoee aquatic sports wherein the actors got into tho water ; and the heat, doubUees, had something to do with the Urge number o! competitors in the trials that entailed "total immersion." By the first train from Auckland, which callud at most of the stations along the lino, over 300 visitors came up, and by tho next, which efftrtad. at S o'clock, 4.50 arrived. 100 aud •odd puvcons caino from Ngaruuwahia, and about 400 iJaoria and others from the fur wjunuing country, en horseback. The country round Mercer seema to be in want Ot rain. About 200 persons took the op portunity afforded by the fstern wheel steamer Rangiriri, Captain Gall, going down the river for 4 miles or so, of fee ing that part of tho country. Time would not allow of goinc very far but the trip was well worth taking, sumo boautitul scenery being passed. The " Bluffs," a wooded cliff rising above tho deep waters of the grand Waikafo river should not be mipsed by visitors to Mercer! Lower down, the beautifully situated homes uf Mr McMillan and Mr Taylor. Im mense numbers of wild duck wore seen also mullet. A beautiful island boloneinsr to a Mr James Kay, of Papakura, was much admired, and one well-known old diamond-digger of the North Shore sain, ho thought he would eettle down on it— I •you could live so easily there on potatoes S and duck egg*." As lhe vW'ors returned ] to Mercar. Mie hill called Kohiroa, wharo I General Cameron oo gallantly rallied the i lio.-itatu)|; 14th KegiD;ont, was pointed out; f also lying unused upon the enure tho great ! iron turret, which, in early and unsafe days, UfOd lo be carried upon tho deck of the I lotieor steamer when she travelled up und down tho river. Returning to the subject of tbo sport,-, we may safely cay that they attorded boundless umueement,. The canoe hurdle races, being a novelty to most of tho visitors, were especially in'tere^ting. For our uninitiated readers we may say that the hurdle consists of a pole plicod in a horizon tal position about 1 foot 3 inches above tho water, the ends being supported by poles driven into the sand at tho bottom of the river. Over the hurdles in certain races tho i canoe must pass, and only one or two out ' of eight competitors could successfully perform this feat in the first race The canoes start each with two men or women, as the case may bo, and get up great speed by the time the first hurdle ta reached, the tide helping them considerably. Tho hurdle is reached, and he nono of the cunoe rises above it, and the n force with which she i* going runs her well up in the air. Her craw then run forward and bring her no.-c down on the other eide of the hurdle, when she ouf/ht to slide eraca- . fuhy forward, and the jump is accomplished. Now this is very difficult of accomplishment and the result in six casea out of eight ir the first race was that the canoe eith< ~! refused the jump, or turned over on /£ crow or failed on tho other fide of hurdlo. In the hurdle race when w\h - formed the crow, more skiUand pluc- .^ enown than in the men's race —»■ .„« h *. example of tho superiority of the soft ' V£ low, • Kf' UrtS tbat to°k Pkco were "8 foj ■ Canok HniiDLE Race, open to a 1 j aome a . over thrci flights of hurdles, I for 4

high ; distance, half a mile ; two men in each canoe. Beeult: Kerepa, in the Ngtangen, won firfeb prize, £3; Rewhero, second, £1 ; Wi, in the Kerepiti, being third.

WAiim'. CANOE Race.—Six started, Hangiriri and Kate winning, in tho Puke kohu», the first prize of £2 10s; Ellen Maxwell a»s second in tho Woolbroker, 15s. There was grenfc oxcitement over this race, the winning crew being slow paddlers, but beating at jumping the hurdlea. Canoe Flat Kace (half a mile) - Prize, Mr Hanson's gift—Kerepa, 1 ; Maxwell, 2 ; Katipo, 3 The finish wusvery close. Canoe 11 dkdle Kace: Huidlss 2 feet 6 inches above tho wn-er; distance half a roilo - There were five entries, tho crew having to jimp the bar, whilst their canoe rnpped uisf.'or it. Great fun was tho result. Kere pa f.cr. tho fi st prize of £3 : Ilika 2nd prize of£l. BwD«sii>c Contest, (ccrc?B the Waikato and barjk). D'-.ncan McGill won the fir^t pri/.0, cf £1 10». <V Maori named 'JUwhi pressed the winner at rirst, and tioully took L'tid priz'j of 10s. Quarteu Mile Handicap Footrace.—T. Elliot, first prize, i.2; Jo?oph Kencally, second, 10s. This wa? a K ood race, Elliot picking up towards the end and winning by a couple of yards only. Wauixe Cose Huiu le Back. —Pari, first priz? ; Ameni, second. Walkini! the Gkeasy Boom.—Wiri won fiißt prise, thoro being a large numbei1 of competitors. A number of the Nelson's men tried their beet, but did not come near che local men.

Wak Canoe Kacf.—This was competed for by three canoes, their being 13 in one, !) in another, and S in a third, the contest being ■;. very good one The judge awarded the first priz» to Maxwell'" canoo : 13 men, but Kaikopsu (with 9 n=cm) should have had it. Soveral impromptu races followed for small amounts, but theso did not take place till after tha special excursion train htd left with the majority of the Auckland visitor!*,

Several of the crew of the H.M.S. Neleon have complained that, free tickets were not granted to them, as in Wellington and other colonial to-.rns, for the journey to Mercer. A bad feature about the day's amusements was the large num ber of wheel«-of-fortune, rings, three card trick tables, and other swindling concerns amongst tho crowd A largo bu^inoss was done by these articles, the police looking on without taking any notice, anal without causing them to move on.

THE ATHENTEUM EXCURSION.

Saturday's excursion to the Kawau under the auspice? of the Auckland AtheDceam passed off moit pleasantly. One interesting feature of tho trip was the presentation to Sir George Groy, which was made shortly after arrival at the island, where a most cordial reception was extended to tha visitors by S'r George. After land ing, tho visitors reassembled, and the President of the Atbenoeum (Mr Dovore) expressed thanks to to Bir George Grey for the kind invitation and reception extended to members. He also explained that the Athenieum had been formed for the purpO3O of benefiting the young men of Auckland, and in'somc way, if only in a small way, of helping on New Zealand to wards the hiah position awaiting her in the futuro. The following address was then road by tho Secretary :—

To Sir Oeorse Grey. X C.8.: Dear Sir.—Tho D3ember3 of the Athr-nßeum, a Literary and De bating Snrioty newly formed in Auckland for the inrercbanue of opinion on subjects relating U) politic, iitfrature. science, aid arr. desire: First: To Ibai.k you for tbo kind and rospltabte rooeotictiaccorded to them this day ntyourb^au tifulh r<me.

The President requested Sir George Gtey's acceptance of tbe same in a few well chosen words, and Sir George replied He ex pressed his pleasure at receiving the address, and thanked the donors heartily. Ho believed that Now Zealand had a great fortune before it, and that the men of Ancle land to day had just as important a tack to perform as tbe men of Europe, lie had the welfare of New Zealand very much at heart, at'd he believed ha had done one of the wisest acts cf his life in presenting his library and curio' to the City of Auckland, where they would bo valued and cared for. Any society that had the same objects as the Atben;eum in view ought to be sup ported, and he would be very glad to .help it to the best of his ability. In conclusion, ho thanked the members for their address, which he was Tory pleased to receive. The party then proceeded to er.joy them selves in various ways, and at 630 pm. re-embarked on the Argyle. As the steamer loft tbe Kawau throe cheers were given for Sir George Grey, and on the homeward trip the time was passed pleasantly and the following now members nominated:—Professor A. P. W. Thomas, MesErs G. P. Fierce, A. H. Swan eon, J. E. Brewgter, and J McLaren. The Argyle reached Queen street Wbarf at 10 p m., the excursion throughout having been a most enjoyable one.

Orchestral Society's Concerts.

(To the Editor.} Sir, —There seem to be several c.iufos why the Orchestral concerts cannot be carried od. In the first place, tbo performers ara really fond of their art, and like to practise good music, which only a few of the public care anything about In the second place, the expenses of the hall, pas, etc., amount in rough numbers to tbe not inconeider ablo earn of £75 a year. There are in the Society some fourteen professional and teaii-profejjional members who attend the practices for the love of music; but tbey also expect some remuneration for their services, which is only natural, seeing that they have to give up one evening every week which might be employed in a more lucrative manner. And this adds to the ex pense. It waa hoped at one time by.the trustees of the hall that the Opera Club, got _toge:hor ostensibly for paying Off the "debt on tho Ball, Would afford valuable assistance, and that, in a few years the debt would be liquidated, and the Hall freo. Unfortunately, the desired object has not been attained. There ia also another matter which militates against the success of the concerts, bat it is a secret not to be " told in Gath nor published in the streets of Aekelon "—I mean that, there is not that entente cardialt I between the performers and the conductor . wnichcan alone make any concert a success.
