SIXTY YEARS AGO
FROM THE Otago ®tntes. " Tnvtmiam wont amt faciam." SATURDAY, DECEMBER 19, 1£63. Strange as it may seem, Stuart street jetty docs not hold a single pollard—such is tlie nantieal term for a piece of timber to which ships are made fast alongside a landing place. The sailing vessels which take op their berths at this jetty must therefore cling to tne piles which support the platform. Fighting the Maoris does not appear to be the unprofitable sort of warfare it has generally been imagined. After the fight at Rangariri a solutor of the S6th found,a bag with LlO in it, and 5 lbs powder; and another soldier found L2O. me quantity of gold forwarded to Met* bourne by the Aldinga yesterday amounted to 20,808. oz 10 dwts. The committee meeting of the Otago Jockey Club, held at the Provincial Hotel last night, may be deemed a promising omen of the coming season’s success, for, instead, of the apathy shown in their early existence, nine out of the due eleven officials were present., the tenth being in Melbourne, and the eleventh not then elected. Mr C. Hoyt was voted .to take the place vacant in the committee, and terms were afterwards settled for the use of the SilverEtrcam course in March next. . .
