Entertainment in the Odd fellows' Hall.

There was a good attendance ab the Oddfellows' Hall laat night, when the first of a series of two entertainments was given m aid of the sufferers by the Triangle fire, and should there be an equal or better attendance at the second entertainment to-night, the results should be gratifying to the promoters, and should go a long way towards setting on their feet again those who lost all by the fire. The fireb portion of the entertainment was a concert, the items of which were contri buted by local perforraers.and were all well received, kn overture well rendered by Gates' Band opened the performance. Miss Nellie Barract was m good voice and gave " She wore a wreath of roses," and her encore number, "Daddy," very sweetly, Mrs Mayne aang "Sleep on beloved," and a recitation by Miss Shirt cliffe received a well deserved encore, m response to which she gave "Curfew must not ring to-night" The duet '0 may thou dream of me/ by Miss Pilbrow and Mr Sharpe, was another welcome number. The trio " A little farm well tilled," given m costume by Messrs L Buchanan, J. 0. Lane, and L. Broad, created much amusement, and the latter sang ** My old Dutch " very well indeed The Rev T. A. Hamilton, m ts The holy city," showed what a really good voice he possesses, and was enthusiastically en cored, giving m response "The sea is England's glory." Mr Kersel contri buted " The death of Nelson," and two violin solos were nicely played by Mr R. Cullen. Mr Frank Henry's sailor's horn pipe also received a deserved encore. The second part of the programme, pre ceded by a selection by Gates' Band, cm eisted of a farcical comedy entitled ** Taken for a Burglar," m which the various characters were well sustained by Misses Carrie St Maur, Amy North, A. S. Ccnlan, and Messrs J. H. Pauling, Robert Elafeon, John Kennedy, and R. S. Elston.

MAGISTERIAL.

ASHBURTON—THURSDAY.

I (Before Mr 0 A, Wray, S.M.) By-Laws—H, Mackay, was charged with obstrucring the footpath by leading a horse across it m Tancred street. The avidence was to the effect that the horse had baen tied to a gate adjacent to the footpath m Tancred street. Mr Outhb art son appeared for defendant. The magis trate said the case had evidently been laid under the wrong by-law, and dismissed it. Joseph Taylor, for having a fire m the open, endangering property, was fined 5s and costs. Unregistered Dog.—W. .L Hampton, for having an unregistered dog was fined 5s and costs. Alleged Lakency.— Sarah Finley was charged with the larceny of a skirt and jacket the property of Mrs tfoung. The Sergeant's evidence whs that the girl had borrowed the articles alluded to from Mrs \oana;, with whom she was at ser vice at the time, for the purpose of attending a funeral, and instead of re turning them went to Ohriatchurch. Bhe had given or l«nt the skirt to another girl at Rak h. Defendant stated that the reason she had not returned the property was that it had not been rpturnsd to her from the girl whom she had lent it to She had never intended to keep it The Sergeant said that Mrs Young did not wish to press the cbarge* as the jacket was m Court, and would be returned, and the girl's mother was willing to pay for the skirt. On this understanding the Magistrate asked the police to withdraw the case, cautioning the girl at the same time, and hoping the position she was m would be a lesson to her for the future. Civil Cases. —Judgment was for plain tifts by default m Craighead and Berry man v Ernest Ward, £1 17s; Trustees Robert Alcorn v John 0. Grubb, £7 5? 6d; Messrs John Orr and Co. v Jesse Patton, £47 3s 6d ; Reid and Gray v John Smith, £2 12s 6d.

The Licensing Act.— Philip Crum was charged with having ommftted a breach of the Licensing Act by selling liquor at the racecourse without a license. Mr Cuthbertson appeared for the plaintiff. The Sergeant said that defendant had purchased the right of what is known as the shilling stand at the racecourse. The defendant had charged a shilling for going on the stand, and two kegs of beer were on the stand, visible to anyone, and any one p*ying the shilling for entrance could help himself to the liquor. [The Magis trate —As much as he liked ? The Sergeant—Apparently so ] The Sargeant submitted that there was a breach of the law, for if a person did not pay the shilling he could not get the beer, Thq shilling was paid to get the bser. To give away liquor was not an offence ; but when a charge was made, even supposing it were a re freshment room, and. that so much was charged and liquor given m, that had over and over again been proved to be a sale. It seemed to him that this was a very de liberate and wilful breach of the law. The argument thab they would have to pay the shilling to go on the stand at all might be quite correct, but' the induce ment to get people to go there was that they would get the lew.—Mr Cuthberteon said it was true that the beer was there for anyone going to the stand, but his client had merely made the ordinary charge for admission, and persons going down had a ticket given them by which they could re turn to the stand. There was no addi tional charge, because the beer was there. The same thing had been done at Dnnedin recently, except that m that case a shilling was charged each time the stand was entered. He submitted that as long as Mr Crum charged the ordinary fee for admission therp was no breach. As for tha induce ment referred to by the Sergeant, m some cases the beer would not be an induce ment, but; would have the contrary effect. The Sergeant remarked that it was against the law for a peison to go into a store where no license was held, and ask for tobacco and get a nip.—The Magis trate thought the case would be aa well adjourned for a week. Mr Cuthbertson opposed the adjournment, paying that if his client had not been breaking the law he should be allowed to do the same to-day.—The magistrate said the case was clearly an evasion of the law, and the adjournment would be made*

VICTORIAN ELECTIONS.

Melbourne, Spptember 19 Party feeling is running high m connection with the elections to-morrow and many close contests are antici pated.

The scarcity of beef m Canterbury is driving Christchurch butchers to the North Bland for anpp'ies. This week, by the Flora, thirty-five bead of fat bullocks From the Wanganui district were brought down to the order of a Chris*church butcher, making over one hundred head for this buyer alo"e. They were grade Shorthorns, heavy weights and prime beef. A district order announces that Major S'ater will take command of the North Canterbury volunteer district; during the ' absence of Lieutenant-Colonel Gordon at the conference at Wellington. It also gives the dates of the annual muster parades of the various corps. About twelve o'clock today one of the horses harnessed to Mr Newmans drag broke its leg and had to be shot. How the mishap occurred is a, mystery, an the lee; gave way ju«t as the animal was to be turned from the side of the road, and was standing still at the time.
