LAST NIGHT'S NEWS. [BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH]. [FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.] Auckland, Last Night.

The Rev. Mr Isitt dislocated his shoulder while taking his horse across the bridge at Tuakau to-day.

We learn from an English paper that the Bend Or difficulty i^ at an end. The stewards of the Jockey Club have come to the un mirnous conclusion that the chestnut colt Bond Or, which passed the jtul^e first for the Derby of 1880, is by Donc:i*ter — Rouge Ro»e, and they therefore overruled the objection to the Duko of Westminster's receiving the stakes nvide by Messrs Brewer and Blanton, the joint owners of Robert the Devil, the horse who was second in the Derby. There c-m-not be my question that this conclusion is a most satitif ac! ory one as far as its results go, but the public woul^ have been far more content than it now is if the evidence upon which Lord Calfchorpe, Mr Lowther, and Mr W. Gr. Craven decided had been published Blackmin, Cmnon, and Clamper, will contend at the International Regatta on the Thames. The infant son of the Burmese King Theebau has just died of small-pox. Vast sums of money were expended upon this boy, who was rocked in a golden cradle, iucrusted with diamonds and precious stones. But all this did not keep away disease and death. Small-pox has been so prevalent in Burmah that 15,000 persona are reported to have died from it, 10,000 of whom are young childreu. Axothkr very good story is told of Beck, ham when a sailor was brought before him one morning on a charge of being drunk and disorderly. The man had on a very dirty shirt, and evidently thinking that soap was more wanted than beer, Beckham gruffly demanded, "How long do you wear your shirt, sir ?" To the astonishment of the Court the sailor replied, « ' Six inches above my knees, your Worship ; how long do you wear yours?" "Forty shillings and costs, or forty-eight hours hard labour ; take him away," was the crushing rejoinder. The new pure cash system now being initiated by G. and C. will certainly prove a benefit to the public. It has been a great success in Sydney and Melbourne, and when strictly carried out the customer who buys at an establishment where the goods are marked low to ensure a rapid sale must be a great gainer. G. and C. selL their drapery millinary, and clothing at such prices for cash as gives the buyer the advantages of a shareholder in a co-operative society, without the risk of being called upon to bear a portion of the loss should the years business pro\e unsatisfactory. Garlick a u- uS 1"1 "* 0 !!,?"! 1 aim to retain the confidence which the public have hitherto shown them, and are determined to give the pure cash system a fair trial ; whether they gain or lose the first year. Country buyers on remitting cash with order will be supplied with goods at co-operative prices ; just the same as though they made a personagelection. Furnishing goods, such as carpets, floor cloths, bedsteads, bedding, and general house furniture, the largest portion of which is turned out at our own f.ictory, will be marked at the lowest remunerative prices, and a discount of nvc per cent, will be allowed to those who pay at the time of purchase. G. &C. having realised ! the entire \alue of their stock during their late cash sale, the present stock is nkw and cheaply bought. An inspection is invited. — Garlick and Cuwwku, City Hall Furnishing Arcade, Quee'nstrcct, Auckland,
