AUCKLAND. 20th March.
A walking match for £50 a-side has been arranged between John O'Connor (champion of the .South Island), and J. Hendry (champion of Auckland), to come off at Ellerslie on the 12th April. The Hinemoa is still at Kawau. Sir George Grey will not probably come to Auckland until it is time to proceed to Waikato — probably next week. No earth works are yet erected to receive the big guns per Ala-stor, and they will probably be stowed away somewhere an<l forgotten. j Captain Robertson, of the ship Loch Fleet, met with a severe accident to his shoulder by a fall from his horse. The eotries for the Autumn Handicap and Steeplechase close to-morrow.
