An adjourned meeting of the Boatman's Jockey Club was held on Wednesday evening last, about fourteen persons being present. Mr John Gallagher occupied the chair. The stewards and officers for the season having been appointed, a committee was formed to prepare a programme. It was decided to have a two days meeting, with six events on each day, the total value of the stakes being £225. A larger sum would have been offered, but for the fact that quite £100 will be required to clear the new course in Duffy and Cos. paddock. The stewards meet again on the 20th instant, by which time all outstanding lists are required to be sent in. The usual fortnightly sittings of the Courts will be held to-day and to-morrow. The Magistrate's Court will open this morning. There are a large number of petty debt cases down for hearing, some of which will probably be settled out of Court. The Warden's Court will open to-morrow morning. The principal case is an application by the Fiery Cross Extended Company praying fur an order decreeing a dissolution of the partnership existing with the Juat-in-Time Company in the ownership of the crushing plant, and asking that the battery may be put up to auction. The application will be opposed by the Just-in-Time Company, who, while not opposed to a dissolution of the partnership, desire to maintain their interest in the battery. Particulars are furnished elsewhere in our columß of the inquest held on Satur. day last upon the body of James Cotter. Deceased was an old man, who lived by himself on the Euller road. He was in weak health, and had been in the employ of the County Council mowing the grass in the Cemetery. Another orowded and delighted audience filled the Oddfellows Hall on Saturday evening, and the performers were more than once called before the curtain. The hall being otherwise engaged the company cnnnot again appear before Wednesday evening, on which occasion will be produced the incomparable melo-drama styled the "Golden Plough." This piece is one of the trump cards of the company, and is regarded as one of the greatest achievements of modern play w rights. The plot is a most ingenious and extroardinary one, and for subtility of design, and originality of conception has perhaps no counterpart in the literature of Ihe drama. It may be mentioned that the piece derives i s somewhat strange title from an old English hostelry, but we must not anticipate.' To-night the company will appear at Boatman's. The last crushing of the Croesus Company, Lyell, only returned 90oz of amalgam from 84 tons. This not being payable it has been decided to let the mine wn tribute The return from the last crushing of the United Italy is hardly less discouraging, being only 28oz. of gold from TO tons of stone. Our mining report is held over till Wednesday. Weakness and sickness changed to health and strength with H'»p Bitter always. v cc.
