AUCKLAND COURSING CLUB.

The annual meeting of tho Auckland Coursing Club was held at the British Hotel last night. Mr. Fenton presiding. The offer of Mr. Arnaboldi to supply 50 or 60 hares within a fortnight was accepted. In regard to fixing the date for the opening meeting the chairman suggested that it should he at the cud of Mayor the beginning of June. Mr. Russell suggested that it should be in June as a number of Southern men would then be up at the races. It was finally left to the committee to select the date for the opening meet with the understanding that it should be as near as possible to the end of May, It was agreed that the course should be run under the National Association rules, with which the club was affiliated. A proposition that there should be a 32 dog stake, and a supplementary stake on the second day was negatived, and it was agreed on the motion ol Mr. McKwin that there should be a limited all-aged stake of 32 dogs, open to all members. It was agreed that the entrance fee be £2 10s. One pound to be paid on nomination, and 30s on the draw, 10s to go to the expenses. The date of nominations bus been left to the committee to fix.

Ono ostrich egg for ten guests is tho pattern at the California Ostrich Farm. " One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten," said Dwighfc Whiting, counting tho guests he had invited to spend the day at the ostrich farm with him. " I guess one egg will be enough ;" and havintr given utterance to this expression, he wended his way to tho paddock, and soon brought to the house an ostrich egg. For a whole hour it was boiled, and though there was then some misgiving as to its being cooked, the shell was broken, and a three pound hardboiled egg laid upon tho plate. But, aside from it size, there was nothing peculiar about it. The white had the bluish tinge seen in duck eggs, and the yolk was of the usual colour. It tasted as it looked— liko a duck egg— had no flavour peculiar to itself. But it was immense! As it takes twenty-eight hen eggs to equal in weight the ostrich egg which was cooked, it was evident that the host knew what ho was about in cooking only one. There wasenough and bo spare ; and before leaving bho table the party unanimously agreed that ostrich egg was good.—Anaheim (Cal.) Gazette. " Direct supplier" of furnishing goods— J.
