Mv Giniia writes to us from Motueka Valley, re-asserting his statements regarding the treatment accorded to Mrs Bailey and, her child recently at the Taranaki Buildings, and saying that he is prepared to repeat on cath the statements made to us, and which were published in the Mail. It is only fair to say that we have seen Mrs Carter, the matron, who positively denies the whole ac« cusation, and applies to 'Mr Gibbs a very strong term, the nature of which is to impugn hia truthfulness. The Silver Cup offered as a prize for the Yacht Race, together with 30 soys, was presented this afternoon at the Masonic Hotel to Mr Richardson, in the presence of a number of the Committee and others, by Mr. Everett, the Treasurer to the Regatta Committee, Avho congratulated Mr Richardson on being the winner, and said that, although there had been some friendly differences of opinion as to the award of the prize which rendered it necessary to obtain a legal decision, that decision haying been . given, he had very great pleasure in handing the prize to Mr Richardson, who replied in a few well chosen words, and the Cup was then filled and re-filled more than once with sparkling " ltoderer," those present drinking success to Mr Richardson and the Gannett.
