THE SAURIAN MONSTER.

A Hoax at Hamilton.

(BY TELEGKArH. —OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

Hamilton, this day. Last Saturday a hoax was perpetrated on the Hamilton public by a so-called exhibi tion of the great sea lion captured at Rag lan some short time since. Two or three gay young sparks engaged the old mart and posted the town with placards stating — " Saurian monster on view to-night; admission 6d." A bellman was "sent round early in the evening announcing the fact, and long before the doors were thrown open a large crowd had gathered in the front of the building. When the doors were open a rush ensued. At half-past 8, the curtain was raised, when lo and behold, instead of exposing the Saurian, there was nothing to be seen but a bag of chaff with a bullock's head poking out of It, whilst for a tail a trunk handle covered with straw was made to answer the purpose. JTor'a few moments the audience seemed para lised but upon regaining consciousness commenced to shout and yell, whilst some portion of the younger community reached the monster and tore it to pieces. It is needless to say the curtain commenced to rise the money-taker made tracks. The only redeeming feature in connection with the'aflair is that the takings amounting to 17s 6d were banded over this morning to

the Secretary of the Waikato District Hospital. A Hamilton resident who had a claim upon one of the proprietors of the real monster had taken out a writ on Saturday evening, and the sheriffs officer being armed with the fatal document proceeded towards tho building with a view of seizing it, but upon examination the monster turned out nothing more than chaffi, ,*

The Hikutaia Goldfield.

RESULT OF THE TEST.

Messrs Fraser and Son have concluded their first test of half-a-ton of quartz from the Maritote licensed holding, Hikutaia. Tho result is 32 ounces of bullion worth 5s 8d per ounce, tho value of tho ore being thus £18 per ton. The pan amalgation process docs not seem suitable for the treatment of the Hikutaia ore as this re sult is only 50 por cent, of Messrs Fraser's own assays. Mr (!eo. Fraser, junr., is now testing 5 cwt of the quartz by a chloriniza tion process.

SALE OF WORK AND CHRISTMAS TREE.

At 2 o'clock this afternoon a Christmas Tree and sale of fancy work commenced in the Foresters' Hall, Karangahape Road. The affair was under the auspices of the Ladies' Sewing Circle con nected with St. Peter's Presbyterian Church, Surrey Hills. The proceeds of the sale are to be devoted to the building fund of the Church. At one side of the hall are a couple of tables laden with all sorts of fancy work, which isoffered forsaleatreason able prices.

In front of the platform is tho Christmas Tree, which is laden with a great variety of useful, ornamental, and amusing articles and toys wherewith to delight the youthful mind. The tree is a good specimen of the cypress tribe, and reaches nearly to the ceil ing, while its branches are covered with the mostnatural productions in the place of seed. The wants of the inner man have also been provided for in the shape ot a refreshment stall. At 2 o'clock the sale was formally opened.

BORING FOR COAL AT BIRKENHEAD.

For a year past Mr Witherford has been expecting to hear from the mines department respecting the diamond drills three of which were imported from America by the Government, all of these have been monopolised by the bouth although Mr Witheford had tho promise of one to continue boring operations for coal at Birkenhead. To-day the following telegram was received from Mr Peacock who has been interesting himself to imd out what had became of the drills, and why such could not be had for use in the Auckland provincial district as well as in the boutn. '' To J. H. Witheford. The drill is at Dune din now available. Gordon requires you to pay freight to Auckland and one month s hire in advance. — Thomas Peacock.; It will thus be seen that Mr Witheford is giving his attention to what may lead to a wonderful development of the Birkenhead district.

BIRKENHEAD RIDING.

(To the Editor.)

Sin, —I would urge every well-wisher of Birkenhead to vote for the candidate who will not sacrifice Birkcnhead for the sakeof Novthcote, as it is a bad sign that the chief workers for Mr Thompson arc nob really Birkenhead pooplo—such as Mr Joshua Jackson, who is a voter for Northooto, but who is not on the roll for Birkeu head. He presided at Mr Thompson's meet ings, and docs his best to for':e his man in. Then take some of the other leading spirits, and sco if they have land down the North cote Road or not. Examine the minute book of the. Road Board, and sec if Messis Thompson, Jackson, and others have tried to stop money being spent on other portions of Birkenhead with the avowed object of (spending it on the Northcote Road. Now, lam nob objecting to the Northcote Road being repaired. 1 agroe, as wo ull do, it should l>e done, and done well; but J. do ob ject to Birkenhead being made a stalking horse for Northcote, as appears to be the case, and 1 regret that a violent non voter, bub partisan of Mr Thompson, should be boasting that Northcote will have two members in the Council if Mr Thomp son gets in, which means that Birken head 0 will bo practically unrepresented. Mr Witheford has shown an enterprising spirit in various ways by engaging special steamers for Harbour Board capitalists and Government officials to inspect the valuable water frontages, to further coal prospecting operations, and in arranging for the erection of a public wharf at the Point, and obtaining land for main roads through the central part of the district. The arrangements for eink ing and boring for coal, if successful, would make Birkenhoad the Newcastle of New Zealand, through the deep water navigation along its shores, and would lead to the im mediate construction of a bridge across tho harbour connecting Auckland with the North, and ensuring a first-class metal road past Lucas Creek on to Waiwera, with mail coaches running every day. It is only by soma groat impetus that a district can bo lifted out of stagnation and forge ahead into prosperity. A coal dis covery would cause an immediate accession to tho population and an increase to its wealth. There may not be adiscovevyof payable auri ferous deposit, though the precious metal lias been scon in the district and n solid button of gold obtained. Mr Witheford believes that truo coal measures exist in the Birkenhead district., and deserves every en couragement to continue working in our midst. Tho easy access to Lake Takapuna from tho Waitetnata will increase the value of Birkenhead properties, while the wharf at tho Point of Hellyer's Creek will, as Dr. Wallis says, enablo settlers up tho river to land at any time, and, taking tho eaey grade road to Birkenhead Wharf, reach Auckland by an easy and pleasant route. A similarly easy and pretty drive will also bo provided from the landing pluce, through Mayfield, past Mr Crook's to the Lake. Messrs Brett, Cameron and Withe ford have, at a cost of Homo £300 to them pelves, assured to the district a splendid landing place and the most level and direct road obtainable from tho Waitemata to tho beautiful Takapuna Lake, with ornamental trees planted for a milo along tho road lead ing from tho site of the wharf. They have cleared and graded the road as required, and this has been done without appealing to tho local authorities for any financial aid. 1 refer to these works to show tho class of representative Mr Witheford would be. Birkenhead can never progress on straw berries alone—l am, &c,

BIRKENHKAD,

A wire was received by a well-known " sport " from Murphy, stating his willing ness to meet Jack Hall, the Sydney light weight. On Hall being informed of this ho at once booked his passage for Wellington, where Murphy is, and sailed by the Gairloch yesterday afternoon. The contest will come off in about three weeks time in the "breezy city."

A meeting of property owners interested in the cutting down of Upper Queen-street takes place at 7 p.m. next Thursday at tho Council Chambers.

Mr A. E. Devore was yesterday nominated for a second term as Mayor of Auckland. On dit. That on the new Municipal Cor poration Act, it is proposed to make the mayors of the four principal cities in New Zealand, Lord Mayors.

The return of JAddy to Auckland heralds the approach of theMajeroni Dramatic Com pany on their return tour. The manager however, is undecided whether or not to risk the advertised seven nights in Auck land. He is rather chary of the venture in view of the fact that the previous season here entailed a loss of £280 while everywhere else throughout New Zealand the Com pany did remarkably well. Therefore, if snfficient inducement is not forthcoming, the Company, on its arrival here on Monday next, will straightway hark back to the South via the west coast, where favourable guarantees have been effored them. In the event of the public of Auckland holding out adequate encouragement, the following novelties will be presented in a season of seven night:—Ohnet's great drama, "The Foundry Master," the farcical drama of "The Masked Ball;" "The Old Corporal" (the title r6le ot which is one of Signor Majeroni's most effective impersonations); " Canaille ;" and the celebrated temperance drama "A Woman of the People." We trust that this most efficient dramatic combination will meet with due support and encouragement at the hands of the public. If not, we need not complain if theatrical entet'preneurs are driven to boycott Auckland as a show town.

Mr Dobbie proceeds to Sydney to-night for the purpose of patenting there his gold saving process.

Among the passengers from Sydney to day by the s.s. Wairarapa were several of our townspeople who were returning from atrip to "the other side." Of the new visitors the principal waa Mr Wm. Mc- Arthur, M.P. for Cornwall, who is here on business connected with the firm of Mc- Arthur and Co. of which he is a member. Mr McArthur, who only recently obtained a seat at a by-election, will only remain in New Zealand about a fortnight as he means to be back in England in for the time assembling of Parliament in February next. Mr Edmund E. Sager, Secretary of the Board of Health Depart ment in Sydney, also arrived by the Wai farapa on a tour of the colony.
