** FAUST! AT THE CITY HALL.

финений The Italian Opera Company represented Gounod's famous opera "Faust" at the Theatre Royal, City Hall, on Saturday night to a rather jted attendance. The bitter coldness of the and several counter atiractions in con- ntation with our forthcoming races, no doubt kept away many regular habitues of the opera, who, under other circumstances, would have, been present.

The accompaniments were admirably, played by Signor Gord; but the waits between the acts were prolonged to an unnecessary length, causing a vast deal of grumbling. The stage manage ment evidently wants seeing to. It was long past midnight before the representation termi- nated, a large number of the audience leaving at the end of the third act. It is to be hoped the Directorate will amend what is assuredly a serious grievance.

The performance of "Ruy Blas," advertised for to-morrow night, has been indefinitely post poned; but Signora Lubicci takes a benefit on Thursday, when Verdi's "La Traviata" will be produced. We hope the accomplished prima

THE BURNING OF THE CARISBROOKE.

To Tim EDITOR,Or, the "Horawang Tramoramu." SIR-In your article of Tuesday, January 30th on the burning of the Carisbrooke, you state that with the exception of the crew of the Thales not one merchant vessel in harbour attempted to steamer. Neither was any mention made in the render the slightest assistance to the burning reports of the other two local papers, nor in the letter written to you by the chief engineer of the Carisbrooke, of the very laudable and excellent services rendered by the officers and engineers of the P. & O. steamer Zambesi, who, with an Indian crew, in a quiet way pulled alongside having in their boat, a powerful fire pump, the just as the flames first appeared on deck, hose of which was, within a minute after their arrival on the scene, at work on the fore deck and playing on the fire, the pump being worked in the beat alongside by their crew. By its continued playing on the woodwork about the deck, this pump succeeded in keeping the fire from spreading forward to where Capt. Scott, assisted by the officers of the Thales, was get ting the cable ready for slipping, and I am sure that but for the Zambesi's pump and people no the arrival of the Fame, when the burning

one could have remained on the fore deck until

steamer was lowed into shoal water.

I also notice in "Banian's Chit-Chat" of last

Saturday an unsparing condemnation of the con- duct of the Chinese boat people, and of their having to be cut adrift before they would go to the assistance of the passengers on the burning

steamer. I can only say, that front the swarms of native boats, large and small, that came alongside as soon as the flames appeared, it is inconceivable to me that they all required forcing. Neither, as it turned out, would any passengers' lives have been endangered had no Chinese boats gone at all, for with Lane, Crawford and Co.'s water-boat, which was alongside, the Police boals, her own boats, and those from the other vessels, they could easily have been taken off the steamer in plenty of time, as the fore part of the ship was safe for hours, and the after part entirely uninjured until she sank some four or five hours afterwards.

Mr. Crawfurd, who was at the top of the list last year, is again first, having nominally wron stakes worth 25,800lf but as Mr. Crawfurd has by far the largest stad of any owner, to say nothing of a very costly breeding establishment, and as he enters his horses freely all over the country in all sorts of races, from last Sweep stakes of zoof, cach down to selling plates, it is obvious that his expenses must be enormous, and on the score of forfeits alone at least 10,0 must be deducted from his total. Macheath, a two-year-old of his own breeding,, was Mr. Crawfurd's most profitable horse, as he won eight races out of the eleven for which he started (and he ought to have won ten of them), worth. 10,600 Br. Lefevre comes second, with 15,7col, just ten times the amount he won in 1881; for who won nine races worth 7,070, and to Ladislas this rise he is principally indebted to Tristan, (winner of the Dewhurst Plate) and Hauteur (who won the Champagne, Clearwell, and other valuable stakes). Mr. Lefevre's "home-bred" two-year-olds have done badly. The Duke of Westminster is third, with 13,800, most of which was won by Shotover, whose very existence was hardly known to the majority of racing men till within ten days of the Two Thousand. Lord Falmouth is fourth, with 13,2006; more than half of this was won by Dutch Oven. Lord Fal mouth's stake account at Epsom was over sco to the bad, and at Ascot 8507. Of his two-year-olds, Prince Maurice (brother to Dutch Oven) had thirty-four engagements, and never started. It brother by Kingcraft to Wheel of Fortune) and is the same dismal story with Grandmaster (half- his thirty-seven engagements, and with Red Rose (half-sister by Queen's Messenger to Jannette), thirteen races, worth 12,cool, the principal suc cesses being Quicklime's victories in the Grand Prize at Epsom and the Prince of Walc's Stakes at Ascot, together worth 6,300l.

Lord Rosebery, third last year with 16,300%, has sunk to 9,3007,

The conversion of No. 1 Government steamer Into a floating engine has at length become wi fait accompli. The engine, fixed in a launch glorying in a coating of bright red paint, "Govt. Fire Engine" being' displayed conspicuously in white letters on her sides, was, after having been in the hands of the Hongkong and Whampoa Dock Company some three months, handed over to the Fire Brigade complete on Saturday, the conversion having been effected by the Com-who had thirty-four. Lord Bradford has, won pany in a very creditable manner a couple of days beyond the time fixed by contract for the completion of the work. The launch is some 75 feet over all, having a beam of 12 fect, and a depth of 6 feet. She has two cabins, one fors and one aft, and the motive power, both for propelling the boat and working the pumps, is supplied by the one boiler. Our ́accurate morning contemporary states that after her speed had been tested, the fire extinguishing gear was set to work" &c., &c.; but we, who have ever a sacred regard for truth and accuracy, believing with Dr. Duncan that no error trifing, for every error displaces some truth and not only so, but underntines all the truths it, or are connected with it take the liberty of reversing

the order of things, by stating that after the fire extinguishing gear had been set to work and was found to operate in the most satis factory manner, the launch's speed was then tested in a trial trip of about two miles,-from the Dock in an easterly direction, back again, and then to Feddar's Wharf Thetrial trip disclosed that she is capable of easily exceeding the con- tract speed of six knots. Some difficulty, how ever, was experienced on Saturday in keeping up steam, owing, it is thought by some, to defective draught, which is obstructed by the confined space in which the engine is fixed. At all events, ls greater difficulty in keeping up steam since the engine was
