Process, which is eminently adapted for producing illustrations of every class, and the racing apnears to have been of a most interesting character. The Geraldine Club should manage to do with one day's racing next spring. It is really absurd for the people to expect more in the altered condition of turf affairs in Canterbury. At one time things were different, and in the' Spring and Autumn meetings of that club was centred the greatest possible interest all over the colony. A key to the solution of the New Zealand Cup problem or Great Autumn Handicap was sometimes obtained, but since meeting* have multiplied all over tbe colony the levelling influence of the totalisator has been felt, and Geraldine is only one.of many clubswhich have to share the favours of the racing public. The Rangitikei Racing Club, like the Geraldine Racing Club, is old established, but it is only in recent years that a Spring meeting has been added to the club's days of racing. And though the last and previous gatherings have been attended with success, a day's racing at Bulls, and perhaps in the spring, may Dot unlikely be discontinued for some time, in order to comply with the wishes of Parliament, which has virtually decreed that racing has become too common and prevalent a practice. Since writing the above I learn that at a meeting of delegates of country clubs, held at Marton last week, a proposal to reduce the number of meetings, taking the statistical returns for the year 1891 as a basis, was arrived as there was at that time no Spring Meeting held at Bulls by the Rangitikei Jockey Club, should the proposal take practical shape, the Spring Meeting will be erased from the calendar li3t. We are told that the utmost good feeling was displayed at the atove-mentioned conference to consider the question of reducing the number of race meetings. Their recommendations for putting their house in order were briefly stated last week, in the letter of the Wellington correspondent of this journal. They have recommended that two clubs should be done away with altogether, viz., the Turakina and Ashurst, and that Feild ing, FozCoq and Marton should do with This one meeting less during the year. means two days leas for Feilding, which club have hitherto held two-day fixtures. Should the proposal b-s enforced 1 presume that Turakina settlers will amalgamate their forces with the Fordellttea and make the Warrengate still a much stronger club than it has hitherto been. The Turakin t Club have not gone in for expensive improvements but have been content to give all the profits of meetings to horse-owners, and there should not be any great difficulty in the way of working in conjunction with Warrengate, Feilding may, take it hard in being asked to drop two Telephone—No. 425.

Better, to my mind would be an arrangement for the existing clubs to amalgamate and give prominence in their future programmes to hunters' races, holding their meetings during or-at the close of the hunting season.

Perhaps the Palmeraton North Trotting Club might see their way to purchasing the portable property. I am a.fra/iq thatuntil Aahurat becomes, more settled trotting meetings would not prove < Foxfcon has managed very well with two meetings a year for seven or eight years, and ib may be considered a hardship the people'will submit to with some reluctance if i hey have to drop one meeting. People a.s a, rule like to manage their own affaire and Foxtopiane, despite tbe faeb that the bottom has dropped out of the flax trade, and that th,ey are somewhat out of the way, think they can .well maintain two meetings a year, and are no last full of the im- portance of their little settlementbecause the powers that be Hold that they should be content with onfy one. I presume that the proposals of this Conference are likely to be triven effect to. In the opening event of the Rangitikei R.C.s Spring Meeting Orion, the appropriately named aqn of Castor and Nymph, who was purchased ,by Mr E. Calrhrop at Mr William Douglas sale at Te Mauanga in Marchlaet for 49ge, won and returned investors on hia chance the nice dividend of £5 B*. Considering that be had behind him Kalmea, by The Premier from Bay Leaf, Lebel, by Nordenfeldt—Pulchra, and others, there can be no question about him being a galloper.

Hβ ha* done remark- ably well, and Ahaa has evidently left a most useful horse Iα this representative of hi*. , MrKnight's stable was evidently in good . form, forinaddition to winning theflrstrace with Orion and the H tck Hurdle Race with Hopeful, he trainedCyrus, Volunteer's son, who put down Westmere, a New Zealand Cup candidate, in the Spring Handicap, run over a mile and a quarter. 16 was, from all accounts, a keenly-contested race, only wou by a short head. Rags, whom we saw at the Grand National Meeting, ran third in the Hack Hurdle R ice.and he was conceding Hopeful and Lady Clare, who beat him, 91b. Rage has been going well in his schooling and should make a good cross-country horse when properly educated to the business and some seasoned. As showing how families succeed I may remark that Ahua's son, Awarua, keeps up his winning form. He has scored three times in succession, a Hunters' Steeplechase and two Hunters' Hurdle races* having fallen to his lot. The Artist, who is by Somnus from Lady Artist, by The Painter from Policy, granddam of Ahua, is showing himself to be all that I predicted of him. Two wins at Marton, one at Rangitikei, and a dead heat with Sylvia Park, then, constitute his first four attempts this season. Tbe day after Awarua and The Artist ran so well at Rangitikei Goodwood, by Ascot from Maid of Eccleston, who is by The Painter from Policy, aud therefore full-sister to Lady Artist, won the Geraldine Cup, and he has thus early returned a good portion of his purchase money. The Painter, whose early demise the Wanganui people have always regretted, will no doubt get most credit for the goodness of tbe winners named; but old Policy, who in her day was the Merganser of the district, can- not be disassociated with the successes of I the horses named.

The nonappearance of Raneipuhl was ft disappointment, as people were curious to see how their New Zealand Cup favourite would shape. Weetmere was decidedly on the big side. His running in the Flying Stakes, in which he failed to gain a place, caused people to neglect him for the Spring Handicap, and he would have paid a splendid dividend if the decision of tbe judge had been given ia hi* favour.

FireKing, a son of Betrayer, scored twice j during the meeting, and ran two seconds, and the full-brother and sister, Lord and Lady Zetland, each succeeded ia winning a race, bub the chief event of the meeting went to Goodwood, who had a big pull Iα the weights from Barmby and Aqualate, both of whom were penalised for previous victories. Barmby kept up his reputation for running seconds, but on the second day over the shortercourse ot one mile, giving away 31b to Goodwood, he beat the latter cleverly. Aqualate had evidently gone off judging from the way she ran In both her engagements. Mr Dowse was not particularly happy In handicapping, and he made a mistake in starting the handicap for the Welter on too low a scale, raising the weights all round when the oversight was pointed out to him. Lord Zetland was completely smothered under his impost of 12at 31b, and The Parson in receipt of 431b had no difficulty In winning.

I hardly anticipate a big entry for the hurdle races, so that when those events fill, it may be found that the ((rand totals for the spring meeting will be about equal to last yeat's record. It is evident that business Is intended with some of the horses trained by G. Wright, for the names of Royal Rose, The Dancer and Forma appear in the list. Three Star's name does not appear, but It must not be forgotten that he has New Zealand Cup, Canterbury Cup and Derby engagements, for which, no doubt, fie is being specially reserved, for we are advised that he will soon be seen at Biccarton with the horses named. These, with St. Clements, St. Patrick, Impulse, Pegasus, Kingsman, Acone, Forma, Lottie, and Scot Free, from the Auckland provincial dUtrict, and Dreamland, Leon tine, Planet, Tartan, Nixie, Goosander, Blarney, Pinrose, Purepo, and Woodlander from Hawke'a Bay, and horsesfrom Taranaki, "Wanganui, Wellington, Wairarapa and Poverty Bay there will be a strong contingent from tte North Island. Ocago is well represented, while there are horses from Southland and the West Coast of the South Island which, with Canterbury horses, make up a formidable lot. The juveaile races should be full of interest. The Hawke's Bay J.C.s Spring Meeting has been the all absorbing topic of the past few days, but there is a strong opinion amongst sportsmen that the heavy going has had a great deal to do with the results, and people seem fairly pnzzled at the form thereat displayed. The starting of Mr H. Jackson does not appear to have been satisfactory in several of the races on the first day, and there is that fact also to be made allowance for. The opening event, the October, Handicap, saw no less than six aspirants for NewZealand Cup honoursat the post, Rosefeldt, Monte Carlo, Scot Free, Mahokl, Purepo, and Leontine, and of these Wesimere appears to bave been the best, but St. Kilda was too good for them all over the disPom Pom, Nixie, tance. Marino, and Planet were four more New Zealand Cup candidates seen in the Guineas, but Forme and Blarney, who are not engaged, both beat the quartette, and Nixie finished Iα front of the other 'three. Princess May, who finished second to GoldenPlover in the Maiden, is also a Cup representative, and she was the only winner at the meeting of the Cap horses. Purepo is the ouly other named that succeeded in mining a. place on the first day. Westraere'e running all through, and particularly on the second day when beaten by Worth Atlantic, points to him as the best of the New Zealand Cup candidates that figured at the meeting, but ac before stated it is unlikely that form can be well gauged on what was done there.

Perhaps there is no more profitless animal reared Iα a farm than a filly or a colt gob by a weedy stallion from a nondescript mare. And yet hqw many farmers there are who are careless on this point. Hence the superabundance of weedy animals in the country. "We shoald very coach like to ccc a system simitar to that carried out in some parts of Scotland, vis., to offer premiums for the best stallions, each selected animals to travel in the subscribing districts at a re duced rate, serving mares of some merit only. The following is good advice:—" If you can raise, one or two good colts each season, you may add materially to the profits of the stock department of your farm. But it will hardly nay to do tt unless you to use any doubtful male or female for breeding purposes. And here I animal follows a bit of advice which should be < adopted by all managers of dairy factories iv New Zealand, viz., that manager* should vi-it the homesteads of all persons who supply milk, and should have power to refuse milk from suspected herds. | CREAM FERMENTS. The chairman intimates that befoti next meeting of Congress he hopes to report that the introduction ot pure cu|. tures of cream ferments has been succen. fully accomplished either from Europe n j New Zealand. Ferments are used vrit* i marked success in all the better dairleiin ; Europe, securing a uniform excellence of flavour, and texture in butter. Th» Jj aroma, allusion to New Zealand has reference to - the introduction of bacteria by Mc Henry Reynolds, of Hamilton, WaiKato, who brought a supply with him from Europe, Unfortunately they arrived in a dry state, 'but it was hoped that they would revive and turn out to be a true culture. Should this prove so a supply should soon be : available. ' CO-OPERATION. Reference is made to the good work done by the NationalDairy Association of New Zealand in shipping, insurance, boxes, &c The establishment of a pro- duce store in London, under the manage* ment of an expert, has proved of great advantage to the colony, especially to fruit growers. We have all along contended that the prodncers In New Zealand ot butter, cheese, fruit, &c, will never Ret the proper grasp of their business till they set up a depot in London where all pro* duce may be received, graded, and sold as occasion ottered, without rushing the market. MORS CORN PER ACRE. This ia a matter to be considered by New Zealand farmers as much as by any in the colonies; perhaps more, considering the cost of our land. Farmers must try to obtain larger yields from smaller areas. There can be no doubtas to the advisability of burrowing and rolling wheat; harrow* ing especially is too little practised Iα Niw Zealand. Some farmers think that the tines would tear up too many of the young plants. This ia a fallacy; harrowing encourages the plant to tiller out. Wβ would recommend a trial of this practice, the result would be its general use. It breaks np the surface erast as well as . destroying a multitude of seedling weeds. FRUGALITY AND EOONOMY. The report concludes with a-lot of very sound advice, which should oe accepted by all who wish to make ends meet Iα these days of low prices and Intense competition. It is that farmers will have to econozniie, live nearly ac simply as did the pioneers, do most of the work themselves with members of the family, adapt themselves to the circumstances, and try to produce almoet everytbiug on the farm. There may be for some yetre none of the large cheques to receive for wool and wheat to which many were formerly accustomed; but many small amounts received for the produce from' lesser industries if, not neglected on the farm, must help to carry on. There are many men, both here and elsewhere, who require but little ready money so long as this course ia followed at producing almost everything on the f a.*m. We mast adapt ourselves to the new con* ditione which have arisen, and have dig* turbed all over the world the oldfashioned courses of husbandry.

ASSIGNMENT i I After the Telegraph Office closed, Mr McNAB moved an amendment to clause 3, the effect of which would be to compctely prevent the sale of perfumery or medicine containing spirituous or tormented liquor, in the event of national piohibition being carried. Mr SEDDON said he looked upon this as a consequential amendment contingent upon the adoption of the national prohibition clauses. Mr LAWRY taunted the temperance members with a conspiracy of silence, and challenged any of them to explain the amendment. He should want an explanation on every amendment and every clause. Mr REEVES looked upon the amendment as nonsense. Its effect would be to prohibit alcohol for medicinal or scientific purposes. Mr BUTTON said the amendment prohibited the use of alcohol by chemists and druggists. (" No, no.") It was clear that it would, and he would be no party to that. It was carrying the joke too far. Mr BUCHANAN, at 2.20 a»m., moved to report progress. He did so as a protest against late sittings. Mr T. MACKENZIE objected to the attitude of the temperance party on this Bill. They brought down a whole sheaf of amendments, but sat dumb and offered no explanation of any of them. Mr MEREDITH suggested that the House should meetat 2.30 p.m. on Monday, when they wouli be able to 'go into the Bill with their energies fresh. Mr SEDDON aaid he proposed, if fair progress wan made with the Bill up to three o'clock, to ask the House to meet at 2.30 on Monday, wnen they would resume consideration of the Bill. After an irregular debate, lasting over an hour, during which points of order were repeatedly raised, a division was taken at 3.15 a.m., when the motion was defeated by 36 to 16. j Mr ALLEN immediately moved— That strangers be ordered to withdraw."

Mr BUCHANAN again addressed the House, and was followed by Mr DUNCAN, who abated that he had just got out of bed to take his morning's walk, and had dropped into the House to see what was going on. I Mr BUCHANAN again rose to speak, when After one postponement owing to wet weather the cricket season for 1894-5 was ushered in on Saturday under moat favourable conditions. The day was a perfect spring one, with a bracing atmosphere that gladdened the hearts of the players and was pleasant to the onlookers, of whom there were a fair number present, notwithstanding the many counter attractions. After the exceptionally wet winter and the very late date that football was carried on, it was feared that the Park would not be in good cricketing condition, but these fears were fortunately not realised. Under French's able exertions that much maligned ground has been tranformed from a footballers' quagmire into a state that left cricketers nothing to desire, and that in the space of a few short weeks. The wickets provided were naturally on the slow side, but otherwise were in splendid order. The Lancaster Park Eleven were the first to take the field, and M. Steeds and O. Pavitt were the first of the army of batsmen termed "The Club." DeMftos and Smith were the trundlers, and the popular Fowke, who has returned to his old Club, had charge of the gloves; "The Club" batsmen, numbering twenty-four, wereallout by 4.30 with a total of 72- O. Pavitt (12) and W. Raphael (11) were the only ones to reach double figures, though several of the juniors showed promising form. The ■•■.-■ Mr HOGG waa the next to take the floor, but made little progress, as he was wander- ing away from the subject. Mr PIRANI advanced as a reason for nob reporting progress the fact that seven*! members of the icmpcrauce party were out getting breakfast, aud it would disturb their digestion if the division bell rang. He dealt with those parts of the Bill which he thought required amendment, but it was evident thut the late sitting waa beginning to tell on him, as his eyes kept blinking. At 10.30 a.m. the House divided on a motion to report progress, which was agreed to by 23 to 22. Progress was then re* - ported. - ' NATIVE LAND COORT. The NativeLand Court Bill was reported with amendments, which were ordered to be considered next sitting day. The Licensing Bill was ordered to be again considered on Monday.

Fuller and lie began to wrestle ani accused was thrown. He then went out, saying that he would get a gun and shoot Fuller. He returned iv about half an hour, carrying a double-barrelledgun.

Maintenance.—Thomas West, aged four years, was brought up as a destitute child. Consignee Barry said the child was illegitimate; he was the sonol a woman named Mary Ann Goodwin, and a man named West, who, over three years ago placed him in her charge. They paid her £20, and promised to make her a continuing allowance, but she had not seen either of then., since, and could not find any trace of them. '■ She was now unable to keep the child. Mr Beetham committed the boy to Surahamfor the usual period. .' ; l . NEW ZEALANDKENNEL CLUB. Sir R.

An attack on the House, and should be prevented from speaking further." Mr Buchanan had spoken on almost every motion -during the sitting. As a precedent to guide the Cnairman Sir Robert Stout quoted a ruling given by Mr Seymour in a similar instance, when the House was in Committee on th<9 Representation Bill some years ago. Mr GUINNESS ruled that Mr Buchanan had not yet brought himself within the scope of the Standing Order. At 7.15 the House divided on Mr Allen's motion, which was negatived by 22 to 14. Mr NcNab's amendment .to clause 3 was then divided upon, and was agreed to by 30 to 18. Another amendment was moved by Mr MoNAB to sub-section 2 of clause 3, to bring it into conformity to the previous sub-section. Mr R. MACKENZIE made a long and rambling speech, after which the amendment was agreed to by 35 to 3. Mr G. J.

The Liberals had never proposed a nolicy, or a part of a oolicy, which they had not loyally endeavoured to carry out.* Faced by these clear declarations against borrowing of any sort, and with the loan proposals of Ministers during the present session, proposals which commit NewZealand to millions, it is hard to cay wbicu. is tde more astounding—thecredulity of the people whose votes returned Ministers so or the audaciously mendacious, audacity and mendacity of such Ministers. Uufortunately, the latter, not without cunning, are aware thai the disastrous effects of their borrowing schemes will not be at once apparent or acutely felt immediately. They hope, like Micawbsr, something may turu up before the tsmash comes; they trust to the political forgetfuluess, continually demonstrated, of the people and their ignorance of finance. And, if the worst comes, Ministers will at least have bad some noc inconsiderable enjoyment of the loaves and fishes of office. That New Zealand will, wheu too late, repent in sackcloth and ashes the wild borrowing and speculative finance of ihe Seddon Ministry is as certain as the night succeeds the day. . . TOPICS OF THE DAY. Accori UNO to ProfessorBertheArtificial lot, the great French chemist, Foods. it is only a matter of time before the natural foods used by us to-day give place to food which will come straight from the laboratories of wholesale chemists. In conversation with the representative of an American paper the Professor related some of the feats which synthetic chemistry has already accomplished and predicted the attainment of others still more marvellous. Synthetic chemistry, it may be explained, takes the various elements of a given compound and erases them to combine and form that compound, being therefore the reverseof analytical chemistry, which resolves a compound into its separate component parts. By cheyeai 2000, a.d. which is to see so many wonderful things, four simple elements, carbon, oxygen, hydrogen and nitrogen,, are to furnish, in chemical combination, all foods now known, others as yet unknown, and all the flavours and essences which make eating a luxury. The epicure of the future is to dine upon chemical meat, chemical bread, and chemical vegetables, driuk chemical wines and liqueurs (he does that now sometimes, though he doesn't know it), and round off his repast with a chemical tobacco, beside which the natural tobacco of the present will make a very poor showing." These be brave words, but the Professor not only believes them but is unable *o doubt their truth. The direction of our present progress," he said, "is along an easily discerned line and can lead to ouly one end." This progress commenced when the primeval savage, hitherto accustomed to eat his meat raw, learned the value of cooking it; the , ...... " advent of fire was the beginning of chemistry in connection with food, and where the use of chemistry will end can only be guessed by men like Protessor ■ Berthelot. Some What has Already Been Done, ' of the results of synthetic chemistry as applied to food and other stuffs are Already in use. Artificial batter—oleomar- garine—is one of the commonest articles of food in the Old World to-day, though it is the idea of making batter from animal fat was conceived in France. Tne extract of the fat is treated with milk, and churned and coloured in the same way as natural butter. Sugar has recently been made in Professor Berthelot'e laboratory from glycerine, which he first made direct from synthetic alcohol, and an invention has, it is said, been recently patented by which sugar is to be made upon a commercial scale from two gases at something like a half-penny a pound. Other articles were also mentioned as having been artificially manufactured with only twenty years since , — By November lltb, Mr. Seddon bad success: ; stumped round to Danevirke, and thus "The oil of bitter almonds is now being boisterously, but' still unmistakably, made direct, commercially, as is the oil of delivered himself :-— mustard. In fact, mustard made from the The late Sir Farr^.Atkinson aaid it was impossible to go on without further borrowing, that it was necessary to raise a loan, and that he preferred: it .should be . . ■ - The preaent self styled " Great Liberal" Ministers of New Zealand are the heirs, inheritors, and assigns of one genuine piece of political property—the " Self-relianoe and Non- " " borrowing" policy. They did not acquire this property by regular succession! They stole it promiscuously on the decease of Mr. John Bal lance. He borrowed it from the late Sir Harry Atkinson—the original designer and patentee. But this erstwhile genuine and valuable policy became, in the hands of Mr. Ballance, vastly altered and deteriorated. In the hands of Mr. Sbddon and bis accomplices it has degenerated into a mere stage bauble, a tin and tinsel sham, useful only to dazzle undisorimiaating groundlings. Yet the fact remains that when Mr. Sbddon's Ministry started out to power, catchwords, claptrap, and unblushing assurance, the one and only vestige of decent policy—using that term in contradistinction to crude Socialistic aud Anarchic fads and fancies—they possessed was the sparse remnant of the non-borrowing and self-reliance plan they succeeded in filching at Mr. Ballakce's deathbed, and which he had borrowed when it was new and in good repair from Sir Harry Atktsson. That the present Ministry did not understand true self-reliance, and did mean to borrow as soon as ever they got the chance, are matters too self- " " led, we may even quote Mr. Tanner. He, speaking (November 3rd) at Phillipstown, indulged himself in an ungenerous kick at the dead lion, Sir Harry Atkinson, and said- The present Government was the first one. that had never raised a loan, and he hoped that the days of borrowing were over. And, with thie hope presumedly still strong in his bosom, Mr. Tanner, obediently and Obsequiously votes, in common with mosC of bis associates, ,. non borrowing Government I " on November 20th, 1893, At Lyttekon for each wild-cat" loan adventure 'of the Mr. Sbddon denied with all the vehe. mence of the Apostle Peter that his Government) had borrowed. Hβ bad been accused of sly-borrowing. "Where And, when some was it V lie asked. prophetic soul replied, '* It's coming i" he nearly had an apoplectic fit, so fierce was his indignation at the insinuation. Iv the course of that marvellously disjointed outpouriug he drew what he intended to be a pathetic (though he made it bathetic) picture of retrenched fathers of families who, weeping, had entreated him (Sbddon) to continue them in Government employ at reduced wages rather than diecharge them. "But, no!" declared this latter day Bbutus, "the Govern ment had to carry out their election pledges"; the inference, of course, being that a Government pledged to economy and non-borrowing were obliged to discbarge the aforesaid tearful fathers of families. Surely, however, as Mr. Seddon then knew be would borrow right and' left at the first opportunity, and that there would consequently be plenty of public money while it lasted, he might have retaiued the industries of Europe. Alizarin ie the essential commercial principle ofthem&dderrcot, which was once extensively used in It was grown in enormous dyeing. quantities in Europe and Asia, and its export into England twenty years ago was million sterling. The valued at over * havenow practically madder fields of Europe ceased to exiafc. The same fate, according to the Professor, threatens the indigo plantations of India. " Thechemists have now succeeded in making pure indigo direct from its elements, and it will soon be a commercial product." Artificial vanielin, the: active principle of the vanilla bean, is threatening to. drive the natural vanilla out of the European market, and has already been taken up by some confectionery manufacturers. Artificial cloves and allspice are expected to follow." - Strictly Possibilitiei of the Future. speaking the word "possibilities" should be probabilities," for, as we "have said, the ultimate manufacture of allthe goods now produced for us by Nature admits, in Professor Betthelot'e mind, of no possible doubt whatever. Speaking of the manufacture of meat, he .said :— "I do not say that we shall give you artificial beefsteaks at once, nor do I say that we shall ever give you the beefsteak as we now obtainand cook it. Wβ shall give you the same identical food, however, chemically, digestively, and nutritively speaking- Its form will differ, because it will probably be a tablet. But it will be a tablet of any colour and shape that is desired, and will, I think, entirety satisfy the epicurean senses of the future." That at some time in the future artificial meat will infringe upon the domain of natural meat, as artificial batter has upon that of natural butter, is only, thinks the Professor, to be reasonably expected, and neither is there any reason why, as artificial butter has been made should the manufacture of milk, quite as healthful as that naturally produced, be long delayed, tie ha 3already made the tats which are found in milk, the milk-sugar has been made, '* but when we come to the cassine, and with it to starch, meat, and albumen we come into a set of very complex chemical problems." Still that is all they are, and we are assured that milk factories—where in employ ment those poor, people for whom he shed crocodile's tears. Thi3, however, by the way. The incident is merely adduced to show one of the impudently false pretences by which the Premier appealed to the sympa thieeof hie auditors. When addressing the electors of Christchurch , under that sacred corrugated iron (Saturday, November 25iu), Mr. bSDDON milk is made, not received from farmers— " ' may be looked fop just at soon as the constituents can be direcblyVud ohe*ply obtained. Then there are other ways in which Mother Nature is to be superseded by the chemists' laboratory. The manufacture of meat suggests vegetables, and Professor Berthelot contemplates the prospect of artificial potatoes with an unruffled brow "when we are able to makesUroh direct, what," he asks, " will hinder us from jnakiug a potato ? Its construction is agreeably simple." It has been shown that the synthetic manufacture 'of sugar is a problem of to-day which is said to have been solved; its production in this manner on the largest scale is another of the Professor's certainties, and the augar cave and sugar beet will then be relegated to a back seat. Tea, coffee and cocoa, we are told, could be made now, the essential principal of each having been manufactured, and the Professor threatens us with arti6cial tobacco, of which not only the nicotine, but the le&f itself will, if necessary, be supplied by chemistry, the result being a great improvement on Nature. Strange though it may seem, the day will come when man will sit down to dine from his toothsome tablet of nitrogenous matter, his portions of savoury fat, his balls of starch compounds, his castorful of aromatic spices, nnd his bottles of wine or spirits, which have all been economically manufactured in his own factories, independent of irregular seasons, unaffected by frost, and free from the microbes with whicn " over-generoua Nature sometimes modifies the value of her gifte." We must confess we are not enamoured of the prospect. The Professor, however, waxed eloquent over the magnificent results which would follow the consummation of hia dreams. War will become a memory of a barbarous past, for the equal distribution df natural food materials will have done away with protectionism, with Custom houses, with national frontiers kept wet with human blood." The desert will blossom as the rose, for the distinction between fertile and barren regions will largely have disappeared. "Man should grow in sweetness and nobility, because he will have done with war and existence based upon the slaughter of beasts," and the peace, luxury and abundance in which the human race will dwell will recall tho Golden Age. What nine-tenths of the world will do for a living when that time comes the Professor does not say.

Ministers and their avowed supporters were uofc returned at the election of last year because of the personal admiration New Zealand had for them. Far from it. The country stomached the men on account of the measures they professed to represent. And the chief of these were non borrowing and self-reliance. These questions indeed were the alpha aud omega of the election. Directly or inferentially each man who is now a Minister solemnly and insincerely declared against further borrowing in any shape. Directly and inferentially they drew lurid comparison between a beautiful Liberal " non-borrowing and a baleful "Conservative" borrowiug policy They dared not do otherwise than condemn borrowing. Years ago the country uuanimously declared against the yoke of the usurer. It is safe to say that, prior to ihe elections, hardly a single Liberal candidate even feebly hinted at the desirability of addition to the public millstone of debt. This paper could, however, be filled twice over with quotations from pre-election speeches of Ministers and their supporters antagonistic to borrowing of any sort. But the fact the Government is a professedly non borrowing one is so notorious that there is no real necessity to make quotations. Nevertheless a few taken at random may prove neither uninteresting nor uuiustruotive. In May, Ihy3, the Hon. J. M'Kknzie addressed his constituents at Palmerston South, and gave au exposition of the policy of the then Government, which was, of course, practically the same as that now holding power. He prefaced his remarks by declaring that they intended to carry on the policy of the Ballance Government, and that the Premiership of Mr. Seddon would not make any difference, "as the Government as now constituted had been ,, in full accord with the late Premier.

AN EARLY RISES. ALL NIGHTFITTING. A CONSPIRACY OF SILENCE. [Bγ Telegraph.] (from oce special correspondent.) WELLINGTON. October 6. A specimen of what one member termed legislation under extraordinary conditions wu witnessed to-day, commencing shortly after midnight, when a start was made with the long and anxiously expected discussion upon the Government Liquor Bill. It was soon seen from the uncompromising attitude of the opposing parties that the House had been launched upon a struggle the end of which could not easily be guessed. According to their own statement of the case, •• The temperance members, that is the Government supporters who wish to see the Government pass a Government Policy Bill, have entered into a conspiracy of silence to facilitate business." They were determined to make progress, and progress also the j Premier declared he was resolved to make. Then there was a third party who, though not expressly opposing the Bill, contended that I the discussion could come to nothing, and that the Premier on the one hand, and the temperance party on the other, were simply playing a game of "bluff" for the edification of the country, each party trying to pose as eaten up with anxiety to pass the Bill. As a matter of fact, no one in the House has the slightest anticipation that the measure will be passed this session. At the outset of the struggle members upon both aides of the House, outside the rauka of the two parties indicated, made strenuous protests against eutering upon the consideration of such a measure at such an hour, but threats and entreaties were alike in vain. Captain Bussell called attention to the time, and Mr Carncross said it was absolutely absurd to go on. The Bill had better be left till next session. He moved—" That the Chairman leave the chair." After the talk had proceeded for a time the Premier warned members that if there was obstruction they would net go home till daylight. It was no use for members to be afraid of the Bill, foe they would have to tackle it. *• Who's afraid," indignantly asked Mr Buchanan, and the Premier answered, " Those who want to go home." Mr T. Mackenzie contended there was a great deal of humbug that' night. There was a force of teetotallers wanting to make out they desired to go on with the work. Tne Premier was not going to go home and be done by the teetotallers. He ought to devote a special day to the Bill. week" suggested a member, and "MrA special Mackenzie then said that neither the Premier nor the teetotallers really wanted to go on with the Bill. It was a question of bluff on both sides. Other members followed in protest at the late hours, pointing out that it was very inconsistent for the Temperance people to insist upon on thi3 occasion, proceeding when they had again and again opposed late sittings that session. But Mr Hall-Jones stated that the country was anxious to have the question settled. Mr £. M. Smith shouted out "No, they are not." After a warm and rather personal discussion the motion that the Chairman leave the Chair was lost on the voices, and one to report progress was substituted. The ,. Chairman declared " The noes have it. Sir Robert Stout demanded that five members should rise in support of the "ayes" before a division was taken. When they rose he asked that their names should be recorded, whereupon members rose in numbers and all their names were taken. The motion was then lost by 29 to 26. ' ' THINGS GET SULTRY. Mr Lawiy began to make things sultry by denouncing the way in which the Temperance party remained dumb in accordance with the decision of the caucus. Points of order became frequent and murmurs of "stonewall" went round. Mr G. W. Russell protested that the action of certain members in violating the spirit of theStanding Orders was an insult to the Chairman and an insult to the Committee. The Premier hete plaintively reminded members that they had started in good? humouf and he hoped they would continue in equally good humour. «However, his Hopes were hardly realised?. The first Temperance amendment was moved by Mr McNab, but so far, owing to continual motions to report progress or to leave the Chair, it had not been even referred to, much less discussed. ' A A PROBABLE DISAGREEMENT. CHARGE OF INTIMIDATION. At this stage another motion to report progress was moved by Mr Buchanan. It was, he said, half-past two in the morning; important measures should not be discussed He would oppose the House being driven night after night and after morning morning into soph hours. Parcels of important Bills ham already been dealt with under moat undesirable circumstances. Work of this kind would not raise the House in the estimation of the country. Mr Crowther here declared he was not; enjoying the fun. He said the challenge for members to stand np was a sort of intimidation. Sir Robert Stout assured him that it was according to the Standing Orders, bub Mr Crowther said there were different waya of applying the Standing Orders, and added I don't like this sort of intimidation." Sir Robert here made another interjection, whereupon Mr at such an hour. " Crowthor, turning to him, sharply said, "I hope Sir Robert Stout will keep his tongue quiet until I sit down. I never interrupted him while he was talking." This evoked loud cries of " Oh," and Sir Robert Stouc mildly interjected "Go on/ Still moreangiry, Mr Crowther retorted, "Hold youc—" but here he checked himself, and added, " until I sit down." The Auckland member asked what was the reason for going on at that time of night. •'To get it out of the way," explaiued the Premier. We could get It out of the way . " At half-past six Mr Duncan walked in, looking quite refreshed. He proceeded to address the House, tantalisingly informing his fellow members that he had been in bed since twelve. He said that he was taking his morning walk before that breakfast. and was surprisedandto find therefore the House was sitting, dropped in to advise members to go home and have a little sleep. But it was no nse, and even such good advice was ignored. At nine o'clock Major Harris appealed for an adjournment, stating that he was in want of food; but the unrelenting Committee still said No," and the Mr Lvwry here sitting went on. turned upon the unfortunate Premier and rated him for allowing members to play fast and loose with his Bill. I said I would let you go as you please," Mr Seddou replied ; and then the member for Parnell anxiously enquired Will you then accept the 121 amendments ? " THE TWO HOUSES. WHAT ARE MONEY BILLS t (By Telegraph.) [fbom " " " THE SILENCE BROKEN. At ten o'clock the Temperance party burst up their conspiracy of silence, Mr Pirani declaring that, as the motion to report progress seemed at length likely to be carried, it was time the Temperance members had their say, and showed reasons why progress should not be reported. At half-past ten the motion to report progress was put and carried by 23 to 22. The Houae then adjourned. SWITCHBACK RAILWAY. SERIOUS ACCIDENT. Considerable excitement was caused in the city on Saturday evening when it became known that, an accident by which several persons were seriously injured had occurred at the Switchback Railway. All kinds of rumours were afloat, but on enquiry being made the true state of matters was tound to be as detailed below. Ttie accident comprised .the collisiou of two loaded oars, one of which got ou to the wrong linei owing to something connected with the| spring automatic points, the reason for which has not yet been ascertained. A member of the staff of the Press had au interview with Mr E. F. Dombrain, the manager of the Switchback, and he stated as follows: —On Saturday, about 9.16 p.m., there was a large attendance. One car was at the Madras street end, and the other at the Manchester street end. The former should have returned along the separate line on the northern side, but* just as the car reached the switch points it seemed in some unaccountable maaner to jump the points, this threw the car on to the other line, down which the car from the Manchester street end was travelling. The points referred to ace spring automatic, and are used to place the car on to the return line. The tiauge of the wheel coming against the points opens them, and bo soon as the car is past the point closes automatically. The men in charge of the Madras street end noticed on Saturday evening at the time of the accident that when the car came to the point it jumped clear over it, thus bringing it on to the wrong line. They immediately tried to hold the car, but the momentum was too greac, and after breaking through both catches it came into collision with the car from the other end. The collision occurred at the bottom of. the big dip at the Madras street end, the fronts of each car being smashed in. At this time both "cars were full, containing about twelve passengers each. Mr Dombrain, who has been managing the railway, arrived at the scene of the accident just as the cars met, and immediately telephoned for ambulance stretchers, cabs, and a doctor. Dr. Murdoch arrived within five minutes, but. meanwhile some members of the ambulance corps, who were amongst the spectators, rendered first aid until the arrival of the stretchers. It was then' found that there were four persons injured, necessitating their removal to the Hos, pitaL This was moat expeditibuely accomplished in the~case of three youtyj men. The lady, who was the fourth one injured, was token home in a cab. Mr Dombrain went with the injured men to the Hospital, and everything was done that could be under the circumstances, stepe being taken to inform the relatives of those injured. So far as the reason of the accident is concerned, Mr Dombrain is at present unable to assign any. The points worked -well the whole day long, the cars being run continuously during the afternoon and evening up to the time of the accident. The following are the names of those injured and the extent of the injuries received:— Johanna (Tottie) Fraser, aged twenty, daughter of Mr John Fraser, of Ensor's road, Opawa, received a compound comminuted fracture of the left leg and a comminuted fracture of the right leg. She was removed to her home in a cab immediately after the accident and was taken to the Hospital at'seven o'clock yesterday morning in the Fire Brigade'ambulance stretcher < by Lieutenant Smith and Fireman Emnson. Miss Fraser was employed in the bookbinding department at the Press office. Ernest Whittington, aged eighteen, residing in Linwood, had hia left, leg broken*. He was conveyed to the Hospital after the accident on an ambulance stretcher. James Pearaon, aged eighteen, a resident of Richmond, received injuries to his head and was unconscious for two hours. Hia right leg was also fractured. He was at once removed to the Hospital on an ambu- lance stretcher. Morris Williams, aged iifteen, son of Mr C. Hood Williams, Secretary to the Lytteltori Harbour Board, had his left leg broken in two places, and received a severe blow over one of hie eyes.

Conferences between Managers of the two Houses of Parliament are the order of the day at present on the Shops and Shop Assistants Bill, the factories Bill, and the Land for Settlements Bill. There is soma prospect of a compromise in the case of the Shops Bill, and there is not much in dispute in the case of the Factories Bill, but there are infinite possibilities in the case of the Land for Settlements Bill. Two ot tho amendments made in the Council are con* sidered by the House an interference witli its privileges in the matter of money Bills, and a collision between the House and the Council seems inevitable. The amendmout in clause 5, which the House objects to. looks very harmless, but it raises a very important question. The clause is tho one that authorises the Government to buy land, and the words introduced by the Council would have the effeot of preventing the Minister from purchasing at a higher price than that recommended by tho Board.. The reason assigned by the House for not accepting this ameudment is "that it debars the Goveruor-iu-Council from conducting a purchase without the recommendation of the Board, and is consequently an interference with the public expenditure oi the colony, an<J the House does not deem it necessary to offer auy further reason, hoping that the above may be sufficient." It will be a matter of great surprise if the Council accepts this reason" as sufficient. To recoguue this as a sufficient reason would bo to admit that the Council has no right to impose any restrictions upon the power of the Minister. The attempt to identify a testriction upon the power of the Minister of Lands with an interference with the privileges of the House is certainly a novel attempt to extend the privileges of tho House, in .many matters. To attempt to extend the rule as to appropriation ot money so as to apply it to the Minister's power of spending it is, in the opinion of many experienced Councillors, a most preposterous doctrine. If the Council were to accept such a position it might as well efface itself altogether; but 1 am in a position to say that thete is but & slendei chance of such a thing. The contention with regard to the amendment.in Clause 21 is equally remarkable. The clause, in ita original form, authorises the Colonial Secretary to borrow £250,000 in any one year; the Legislative Council has added a proviso as follows—" Provided that no contract for the acquisition of land under the provisions of this Act shall be entered into in any one year to a greater amount than together with the amount of any balanoet available for that year." The House disagrees with this amendment Lecause "it imposes a limitation on the acquisition ol land, and thereby interferes with the public expenditure; and the House does not deem it necessary to offer any furthei reason, hoping that the same may be sufficient.' One of the most remarkable things about the Bills as introduced this eeesion it the audacity ehovra by the Government iv their determination to obtain power un trammelled by. restrictions of any kind This is shown very clearly in this Land for Settlements Bill, and still more clearly ir the Land Improvement and Acquisitior " , Bill. The Railway Bill was an attempt tc obtain practically, unlimited power;without responsibility, and now we have; the House setting up the extraordinary contention: that any restriction on the Ministers'power tc enter into a contract is an interference with the public expenditure. It is high time the question as to the power of the Council or the one hand and the privileges o . the House on the other were .placed on some intelligible footing. Miniaters seen to have been under the impreaeioa-that at they have to do ie to call,a Bill a.Monej Bill, and originate it in Qomtnittwe-of th< message, am House or by the they thus deprive the Counoil- of the right to altar any of ita clauses* ( Questions o: the same kind are arising regarding th< Consols Bill: The Council amended olauae 4 by reducing thij term of the consols from forty years to twenty, and the House has dioaqreed beoauiie " the amendment alter* the time when jlepoeits are repayable, ant consequently interferes with the financial proposal* of this Kouse.'\ The above conten tions are based upon the rulings of Mi Speaker O'Rorke; and they are the eubjeel of much comment.

The struggle will be an interesting one from many points of view. . ANGLO-COLONIAL NOTES. [FROM OUB SPKCIAJi COBBSSFOKDBNT.] LONDON, August 25. At last! After about a year of vain - endeavours, and after seven successive rejections, th 9proffered Bishopric of -Wei* lington has been definitely accepted, and by ~ so good a man1 that nothing better could be deeired by any reasonable diocese.

PBESS, 6 smallness of the stipend lias been one great difficulty in the way of filling up the vacancy from England. A good deal of stuff has been talked and written about the impropriety of the clergyconsidering the monetary question when so important % call is made on their services. Silly references have been made to the poverty of the Apostles and early Christian clergy. All that is irrelevant. The point is, as one clergyman —not himself interested—put it. to mc : It is not that the clergy are exacting or greedy, but a man who desires to fill the bishopric efficiently must hesitate when he finds he will not be provided with He adequate means for doing so. a knows that he must keep up certain position, in a large house, in the capital of the colony ; that he must (or ought to) entertain., even if ou a moderate scale, and that he cannot do all that is, and should be, expected of him, on the meagre sum available. This necessarily militates as a rule against a good man taking the post. He knows he cannot do what ought to be done and therefore lie feels he ought not to accept the position, unless he have private means which lie is willing to use in the Church's interest."' Several proniiuent clergy here have impressed earnestly upon mc the desirableness of urging that the episcopal stipend should be increased, if there be any idea of again seeking New Zealand Bishops from the rauks of the English clergy. But lam inclined to doubt whether the experiment will be repeated, notwithstanding its ultimately satisfactory result in this instance. A leading "operator" in meat has drawn np certain rules as to the kind of meat which will sell in various markets. He says that the Londoners like a good sheep, fairly fat; but the people of Birmingham, Livermeat. pool and Manchester crave for lean of the This he attributes to the artisans manufacturing towns working so much oil and grtase that they grow to detest and loathe anything at all greasy. These people readily buy that scraggy River Plate mutton, but they will not look at fat New Zealand Lincoln or Leicester mutton. Their taste has, therefore, to be dnly considered by the producer. Mr Lee Smith, writing to the Morning Fost with reference to the Ottawa Conference, says that it seemed to him an utter absurdity to put forward a claim that England should put a duty on foreign imports that might compete with similar imports received from the colonies. He thinks the colonies should set their own house in order before suggesting improvements to the Mother Country and that they might begin by agreeing to reciprocal tariffs among themselves. Some Whitechapel paupers, who have been taught agricultural work at Mr Haxell's farm colony, will leave almost immediately for New Zealand. They were objected to by the Commissioner for Canada, but subsequently a New Zealand merchant visited the farm and was so much struck with the good work he saw done there and with the appearance of the men that he expressed a decided opinion that the men would be acquisitions to New Zealand, and would be welcomed there. Reference was made to the Agent-General for New Zealand, who saw no objection to the men as emigrants for New Zealand. Upon this the Whitechapel Board of Guardians decided to vote a sum of £12 towards the expenses of each of the men, and the balance will be provided by the Self-Help Emigration Society. Thus the men will be sent out at once to New Zealand, and will arrive in the early spring. I wonder whether there will be an outcry About this affair, and whether the AgentGeneral will be called on to explain Ms conduct in not objecting to the transmission of paupers "to New Zealand. In case any such absurdity as this should be perI may as well say that the numer of paupers thus dealt with is—not 200, — " " Setrated, or even twenty, as might be gathered from all the row made about it in the London papers, but—just two! Only two ! And the Agent-Generalvhas not even " request, represented New Zealand journalism on the occasion, as he did at Antwerp. I had a long chat yesterday with Mr C. R. Valentine, the New Zealand Produce Commissioner. He spoke with enthusiasm of New Zealand and its capabilities in the way of production, which he believes may be almost indefinitely extended with assnrance of a remunerative market if only there be good management. Coming across the Continent from Naples Mr Valentine arranged for consignments of New Zealand mutton and lamb to be sent to the chief centres, notably Paris and Milan. He carefully investigated the possibilities io the way of opening up a Continental trade in New Zealand produce, and is very sanguine as to the prospects of this being He was able to secure accomplished. absolute orders from Milan and Parib for New Zealand lamb and mutton, so there will be none of the risk attaching to merely experimental shipment. But he considers the Continental trade in New Zealand meat would be greatly facilitated if the means were takeu to have all the meat certified and stamped by some recognised veterinary surgeon befo.73 shipment, as is <ione with all American meat. This is a matter which the New Zealand Government ought to see to without delay. Mr Valentine leaves next week to visit the chief English trading centres in the North, with tbe object of pushing a trade in New Zealand meat and dairy produce. A TERRIBLE TRAGEDY. THE INQUESTS. (PRESS ASSOCIATION TELEGRAM.) WELLINGTON, October 6. A telegram received from Mr Jannaway, of the Telegraph Department, Nelson, re Tophouse tragedy, states that Bateman, who was temporarily in charge of the accommodation house, told Mr Lane that Mr Wallis wanted to see him on the Wairau road. Lane accompanied him up the road about 200 yards, and Eateman then shot him in the head. At 8.30 p.m. Bateman went to the Telegraph Office, and invited Mr Wallis to go haie shooting. Mr Wallis said it was too dark, but Bateman said he knew where to get hares, and there was sufficient moonlight to see the animals. Waliis went away with Bateman, who shot him within one hundred yards of the office. The murderer appears to have laken the cover offWallis' pony and placed ifc over his victinfa body, after which he returned to the accommodation house, where the governess was found. The young lady went down to the office accompanied by a little girl, but Bateman followed her, and made her return, threatening to shoot her unless she retraced her steps. She, however, got awajT again, and she and Mrs Waliis locked themselves in the office. At daylight Bateman was seen walking up and down in iront of the accommodation house. During the morning Mr R. Kerr and another settler arrived on the scene and went towards the accommodation house, but being threatened they went back to the office. About two in the afternoon a report was heard, and it was found that Bateman had shot himself. A letter was written by Batemaa on Sunday last, bidding his sister farewell, and it is evident that tha deed was premeditated. It is thought that he was jealous of Lane, and that he killed Wallis in order to prevent news of the murder of Lane being wired away. There is also reason to believe that he contemplated killing Mrs Wai.is, as some one was heard trying the doors of the office. Wallia was thirty-three years of age, and was in charge of the telegraph station and post office. He also acted as line repairer. NELSON, October 6. The inquest will be held this evening at Foxhill. Bateman apparently shot Lane first and then Wallis, enticing them out of their respective homes. He shot himself yesterday afternoon. It is reported that Bateman was sober at the time of the tragedy. Bateman threatened the governess of the accommodation House on two occasions. He also threatened to shoot others. New Zeaapproved their land. He haa merely intimated that he sees noreason to object.

He then spoke to Bateman, asking where Lane was, and for reply Biteman pointed to the bush. He then askedBateman what he shot last night, but received no reply. After chat he went to the telegraph office to ask the direction, but thongh he knocked-at the back and the front there was no one there, and he went on the road and subsequently met the police, who questioned him. Mrs Wallis was called, but friendf bad taken her to town, and a telegram was received that she had fainted on the way. Miss Wylie was not brought down. The Jury expressed themselves satisfied to consider their verdict, and shortly returned the following : —" After hearing the evidence given, we find that tbe t*ro deceased. William Henry Wallie and J. S. Lane, came by their death by gun shot wounds, inflicted by one William Bateman." They added, "Wealso think tnat had Miss Wylie and Mrs Wallis been present, we should have had fuller particulars, bat we don't think that anything further could have altered the verdict." An inquest held on B&teman before the same jury, and they returned this verdict:—" We are of opinion that the deceased came by his death by a gun-shot wound, inflicted by himself, whilst in an unsound state of miud." There seems little doubt that Bateman was jealous of Lane. He was in town on Thursday professedly to see about a dog to enable him to go mustering at Birch Hill, but it is thongnt his real object was to get some caps. The reason for his killing the telegraphist is difficult to conceive, but a suggestion is that hs sought to prevent news of the other murder being sent away. During Thursday night he was threatening to kill Miss Wylie, and sharpened a knife in her room; but one of the children, of whom he was fond, clung to- the girl. She, with the children, escaped to the Telegraph Office in the morning, and one of the little boys, in going there, found the body of Mr Wallis covered over. The two women were in dread of death, and Mrs Wallis had hidden a paper on which she had written : —" If Miss Wylie and I are found dead, Bateman has killed us." The funerals of Wallis and Lane to-day proceeded together to the cemetery, where the two men were buried, in the same plot of ground, side by side. The funerals were witnessed by a great number of spectators. (in AnooUtion—By Telegraph—Copyright. Pmh LONDON, October 6.

Hobbs and jlr Woodhouse, gave a sacred concert last night at the Opera House, when there was a very good attendance. Mr Newbury gave a very artistic rendering of "In Native Worth." In the opening recitative Mr Newbury sang with much vigour and effect, and he made the point of giving a different expression as applied to the first and second verses, which showed how carefully he has studied the evident intention of the composer. The audience were most enthusiastic in their re-demand, and Mr Newbury sang The Holy City with a good deal of success. His singing of Sound an Alarm," the grand martial air from Judas Maccabseus," was the gem of the evening. It was declaimed with much power and artistic ability, and he had to repeat the last portion. Miss Emily Spada sang Angels Ever Bright and Fair and •• I know that my Redeemer." Both numbers were sung with care and effect. Miss Mongredien showed what a true artist she is in her numbers, which included O Rest in the Lord," "He was despised," and Rodney's fine song "Calvary." The two tormer were given with much devotional feeling and ability, and her singing of the latter was also a great musical treat. Mr H. Hobbs, who made his debut in oratorio, is to be complimented on his success. He sang as his first solo Nazareth" well, and for the second Sir A. Sullivan's "Thou art passing hence." There was a tendency in the latter somewhat to hurry and not give the full effect to the words, but taken as a whole Mr Hobbs sang in a manner which augurs weU for bis success in oratorio music. Mr Woodhouse's solos were, With overflowing heart," from Sir Joseph Barnby 'a "Rβbekah," and Adams''" The Pilgrim.." The recitative in the first was well taken, and the following air was given" with a good deal of success. The only concerted piece was the dnet, "My song shall be always," which was given by Mr Newbury and Madame Spada. " " " " " " " " " COAL AND TIMBER EXPORT. (PBESS ASSOCIATION TELEGRAMS.)

The house, which was an old one, was, on their arrival, partially destroyed and after the chemical engines had played upon the fire for a short time, the firemen pulled the building down.

TWENTY-FOUR HOURS, RACE, (PBBSS ASSOCIATION TBLEQEAM.) DUNEDIN, October 7. The Caledonian Cycling Club (Cash Amateur) was favoured with beautiful weather for their Twenty-four Hours' Championship Race. Saturday was rather warm, but a nice breeze teo»ered the sun's rays, while the evening was delightfully calm and pleasant. The competitors thinned down as the day proceeded, until there were but three left. Body and Spanes kept together till 2.15 p.m., when Soanee and Duff collided. Body then drew ahead steadily, and was going very strong at the finish at 9.10 p.m., while Soanes was evidently considerably distressed during the final few hours. Duff's frequent and lengthened retirements account for hie position. The following are the distances covered at the end of the twenty-four hours:—Body St>4£ miles 125 yards, Soanes 338} miles and a distance, Duff 320£ miles and a distance. In order to secure the medal Rspson covered 250 miles in the twenty-first hour, and then retired. Lewis put up a New Zealand record 100 miles* which he completed in 6 hours 50 mm 45sec. A. J.
