Rutherford, who won 10 shillings at an Easter carnival. on 24 March 1883 in Rockhampton, Queensland.^[29]

Thomas) applied for a three month exemption "owing to a want of machinery" 6 weeks later. In June he transferred a sixteenth interest in this to W. Macdonald. In December, they applied for a further 6 months exemption "owing to there being too much water in the shaft and the non-arrival of winding gear.^{[30][31][32][33]}" He was found on a passenger list on 5 January 1886 from Sydney to Brisbane.^[34] He was on a shipping list from Brisbane to Sydney and Melbourne on the LY-EE-MOON on 9 January 1886.^[35] He was found on a passenger list on 11 February 1886 from Brisbane to Noosa, Queensland.^[36] He was found on a passenger list on 28 January 1888 from Rockhampton to Brisbane.^[37] He was on a passenger list from Brisbane to on 31 August 1888 in Rockhampton, Queensland.^[38] Henry lived in 1889 in Rockhampton, Queensland.^[39][40] He made a donation towards the Rockhampton Childrens Hospital on 20 May 1892 in Rockhampton, Queensland.^[41] He was found on a passenger list on 12 April 1893 from Cooktown to Rockhampton, Queensland.^[42]

IT is so essential the weather should be considered in connection with a holiday excursion that no apology is required in referring to the subject. The weather then was all that could be desired for travellers bent upon visiting the Park. There was a clear sky, and Old Sol had his rays tempered by the south-east wind which has steadily blown for some days past. Better weather could not have been desired, and it is therefore certain that all and sundry who were enjoying the freedom of an outing were assisted in their endeavours to promote health and pleasure by the prime desiderata of excellent weather they had the privilege of being partakers of. The road to to the Park is in the main good, but it is noticeable that the so-called " improvements " on the Lake's Creek Road from abreast of the bridge to Kalka Creek are at present a misnomer. Thence to the bridge beyond Dan Hawk's there is not much to complain of, but beyond that into the Park there are very many bad spots, and some dis graceful ones that, considering the traffic, should not exist a day longer than possible. The Divisional Board might very appro- priately for the public good place a gang of men to improve the had spots referred to. I don't suppose there was anyone be he or she old or young, old hand or new chum, who did not rejoice at the pleasant and invigorating prospect presented to them when topping the hill at the Park. To the old travellers thither- wards, there is the charm of meeting an old and ever welcome friend, one who on former occasions had instilled new life and vigor into the system; one who had ministered comfort and cheerfulness in days gone by. The new arrival saw there a sight that lent to his gaze wonder and admiration. There was stretched far far away to the eastward the noble pacific but withal often very turbulent ocean dotted here and there with islands-the home, in one case, of a few aboriginals, and in the others sea birds only ; but lending to the scene beauty and picturesqueness, At the spot indicated, the vital forces received a full measure of pure ozone. The system drank in greedily a plethora of it, until, on reaching host Fulton's, the tired traveller met a haven of rest. Those who had not taken the precaution beforehand to ensure accommodation had to put up with ." a camp," but nevertheless there was room and to spare, although the hotel had to house a large gather- ing. There were many old identities present, who never tired in acquainting the new- comers of the benefits to be derived from an acquaintance with the Park. All being on pleasure bent, trifles of discomfort were over looked, and each and all aided in one common degree to make the time pass pleasantly. A committee very soon issued a programme of athletic sports for Saturday, when the follow- ing events were duly discussed with an amount of spirit only obtainable at the Park. The first event of the day was the HANDICAP HURDLE RACE of 200 yards, over 3 hurdles each 3 feet high, for a prize of a Gold Scarf Pin, valued at £2 2s. (the gift of Messrs Said and Co. ) and 10s. ; 2nd Prize, 5s. There were three competitors for this race which proved a good one, well contested. Mr. Brooks (starter) got the youths away on fair terms. Shaw topped the first hurdle primus closely followed by Part, Scully being well up. A great race then ensued to the second hurdle Shaw and Part mounting it together. It was by this time evident that one or other intended to become the victor ; for their rush to the last hurdle was desperate. Shaw however wisely steadied himself 'for the leap and took it well, but at this point Part came to mother earth, he however with great pluck tried to regain a position but again came to grief. Shaw assuming the premier position amid the applause of the spectators. The members were :-Goff Shaw, 15 yards 1 ; J. Part, 10 yards 2 ; J. Scully, scratch 3. Mr. A. Brooks, that indefatigable wielder of the tocsin-or in other words, the bell called together the Athletes for the second event HOP, STEP, AND JUMP, for a first prize of 10s.,and second of 2s. Cd. Each Competitor was allowed three tries ; the result proved places to be George Thompson, 35 feet, 1 ; John Part, 2. The third event was an attractive one for the lads, it being THE BOYS' RACE, for all lads under 14 years of age; handicap; 1st prize 10s., 2nd 6s., 3rd 2s. 6d.; distance, 100 yards. After an exciting struggle the following secured places : A. O'Neill, 1 ; M. Christian, 2 ; J. Irwin, 3. Mr. Brooks lost no time in ringing up for the fourth contest GIRLS' RACE, for a distanoe of 50 yards. Prizes being 1st, 5s.; 2nd, 2s. 6d.; 3rd, Is. The girls contested this race with great spirit, and the winners showed determination in arriving at the post. Eliza Fulton (scratch), 1 ; Mary Guyder (5 yards), 2, Great fun followed in the BLACKFELLOWS' RACE. Mr. G. M. Leigh was at the fore in marshalling forces for this struggle. He managed to secure five sons of the soil, who were fully equipped in the odours peculiar to their surroundings. To get on the the side of that quintette was to secure a flavour-not of the spices of Arabia-never to be forgotten. Two of them had about as much idea of jumping as a whale is supposed to have, but three managed splendidly, one being a veritable bounding antelope. The merriment this race, or rather series of three races, produced was quite exhilarating, and was thoroughly enjoyed by all who witnessed the events. I must leave your readers to imagine the scene ; to describe it would be tedious. The result was comical, however, and created roars of laughter. Not content that the race should be contested once, Mr. Leigh had it over again and again, but each time the the bounding antelope-" Will'm Book'm Trowser" came to the fore amidst the plaudits of the crowd. His reward was well earned in a form very acceptable to our, natives since they became accustomed to our ways, said ways leading many times to undue excitement and not always to paths of peace. An event followed of some importance, the preliminaries of which gave the handicappers some trouble. I refer to the sixth event. THE HANDICAP FLAT RACE over a distance of 100 yards, for the following prizes :-1st, 20s.; 2nd, 7s. 6d.; 3rd, 2s. Cd. Eight young men faced the starter, each of whom displayed a determination to do or be done. There was young Australia in proper form fully bent on a struggle as if for bare existence. The onlooker could detect that. After several feints a good start was effected. Four from scratch, aud four having yards given them. Those who secured places were all from scratch as follows -.-J. Part, 1 ; J. Scully, 2 ; G. Shaw, 3. This race was an exciting one throughout, and was well con-tested. The seventh event was THREE-LEGGED HACK; over a distance of 100 yards. Prize being-1st, 10».; 2nd, 5s. Six pairs started. The following secured the places assigned to them :-W. Part and J. Scully, 1 ; .1. 1'art aud G. Thompson, 2. The eighth event was- THE RUNNING HIGH JUMP. The first prize being 10s., and second 5s. Four entered for this contest, the winners being-J. Part, 4 ft. 6 in., 1 ; G. Thompson, 4 ft. 5 in., 2. QUOITS followed. The prize, 10s., being allotted to-J. Rutherford and H. Hill; and in throwing off J. Rutherford won").

At the Police Court yesterday, before the Police Magistrate, Mr. H. L.. Archdall,the adjourned case of the Licensing Inspector. Senior-sergeant M. J. Carmody, against Henry Hill, of having been on the licensed promises of the Freemasons' Arms Hotel, at the corner of William and Kent streets, on Good Friday, the 21st of April last, was called. Senior-sergeant Carmody prosecuted. Formal evidence was given by Senior-sergeant Carmody. Constable P. Saligari stated that the defendant came along William-street and stood at the side door of the hotel, where he apparently spoke to someone. After leaving the hotel premises the defendant hurried away. When asked what he had been there for, he replied "I don't know " ; but when pressed he admitted that he had been on the premises, but said that it was not for for the purpose of getting drink. The defendant appeared to be pretty well drunk. Witness could smell drink on him. The defendant, in questioning the constable, admitted that he said to the constable that he did not know why he had been on the premises. This was the case for the prosecution. The defendant gave evidence to the effect that he did not go on to the licensed premises for drink, but for another purpose. He could not recollect whether he spoke to any person after leaving East-street. He could not say whether the constable was telling a lie when he said that witness, spoke to someone near the hotel. All the drink that he had that day was a glass of wine before he left home. If he had seen the constable first he would have asked his permission to go on to the premises for the purpose he desired. He was an old-age pensioner He did not tell anybody that he would plead guilty only that he was afraid of losing his pension. He had been convicted of drunkenness three or four times- The last time was about four months ago. The Police Magistrate fined the defendant £3 with 3s. 6d. costs of Court ; in default of payment in three months, to be recovered by levy and distress ; in default of distress, fourteen days' imprisonment in Rockhampton Prison).
