The Hon. E. Mitchelson has sent in his resignation as a member of the Auckland Racing Club ; he is not satisfied with the manner in which the business of the Club has been carried on, and declines to be a party to slipshod work. Batger was defeated by six inches in the Quarter Mile Handicap at Huddersfield but his time, 59 4-sch sec, beats the record. Jhe Aujtion sale at Mititai on Wednesday went very slowly. Lots offered were not numerous, and only a few were disposed of. More business might have been done had the owners been more anxious to part and not placed such a high value upon their cattle.

The present vacation will continue for a fortnight, and the week allowed at Michaelmas time will not be taken. The attendance at school has been very satisfactory since. Mr. Gerrmg took charge although the weather has been unsettled.
