Personal. —A private telegram from Wellington states that the third reading of the Bill to admit Mr Smytides to practice as a barrister was carried by 80 to 9, and that the Hon. Mr Waterhouse takes charge of it in the Legislative Council. Athletic Sports.— The committee of the I unedin Cricket Club has to thank itself for the ill-succi ss which has attended its second effort to open the season with athletic sports. Instead of making their arrangements in such a way that all the City clubs could have helped to further them and obtained the necessary means by which they would have been attractive alike to the public and to our athlete?, a spirit of exclusiveness was introduced, which could not fail to act detrimentally to the success of to-day’s sports. As it was, only about 100 persons were present at the Caledonian Grounds ; and the sports themselves possessed little interest from the paucity of competitors. The hurdle race was won by F. Muir, and the 100 yards race by T. Muir. Throwing the cricket ball brought out some half a dozen competitors. F. Muir made the longest thiow of 90 yards (but, in our opinion, it was overmeasured), and J. Fulton, the second longest of 88 yards. The mile race was well run by a youth named Vescy, in five minutes; Tainc being a good second, and Smith a close third.
