"THE NEW YORK.

Williamson and Musgrove's "New Boy" Company will make their fir^t appearance here on Friday evening next at the Oddfellows' Hall. The «New Boy» is the latest and most famous of farcical comedies, and is ad mitted unreservedly wherever it has

hitherto been produced to be the brightest, drollest, merriest, and most up-to-date comedy of recent years, and Bttch should prove an eminently popular attraction. Another important point upon which too much stress cannot be lain )'r that the " New Boy " is entirely and agreeably healthy in tone, and free from taint or suggestiveness of any kind whatever, depending rather for its

endless fun and comicalities upon the smartly written dialogue, clever re partee, irresistible situations, and brilliant play. Thus children will enjoy the performance with as much delight as if it were a pantomime Messrs Williamson and Musgrove's names at the head of the bills are sufli eieht guarantee that the new company will be efficient, and all the principals, some with excellent London and pro-

vincial reputations. Messrs Olifton Alderson, Ralph Roberts; Eugene Mayeur, George Bernage, Ernest Cos ham, Frank Hawthorne, Misses Edith Honsley, May Thome, Gladys Leigh, and Jennie Watt-Tanner are artistes •who one and all are in the first rank of their profession, and it is ouly such that the firm ever employs. Scenery, furniture, carpets and curtains are brought along by the company, and

are identical with the effecs used during the production at the Lyceum Theatre. Sydney. Thus playgoers of Aihburton will have brought to their very doors the exact production of "■The New Boy " they would have seen had they taken a trip to Sydney in November last

TO THE EDITOR.

Sir,—As there seems to be a little dis satisfaction regarding the balance sheet of the Oddfe'lows, I would suggest that tho three leading lodges of friendly societies of this town advertise their respective balance sheets in your paper, and let the public judge of the strength and soundness of each lodge. I am a member of three different friendly societies, bat I, with many in this town have what we believe to be a correct impression viz , —that the Oddfellows Lodge ,ia the strongest in this town by a long way., I Let the lodges advertise their balance sheets fcr us to see if thi» is so.—l am, etc., Observer No 2,

Address by the Minister of Lobor.

Mr Reeves addressed a meeting of his constituents at the Theatre Royal, Christ church, last evening. The building was densely crowded, and the Mayor occupied rh« chair. Mr Reeves was well received, and commenced by briefly alluding to the attacks made upon htm by the local Con servative precis. He enumerated the various reforms effected by the Liberal party during the pnst four years, and claimed that they had materially improved the condition of the people. Speaking of the Press Association report of the inter view between the Premier and the Trades Council, Mr Reeves said that it was im perfect and misleading. Mr Seddon was in sympathy with all the reasonable aspirations of the L ibour party. Mr Reeves explained the character of the prop sed reciprocal treaty with South Australia, and defended its provisions. [ He would always favour reciprocity, but : as a protectionist was opposed to in tor colonial freetrade. The arrangement with South Australia, if ratified by Parliament, would make it impossible for the neighbouring colonies as a whole to erect a customs barrier against New Zealand. He declared t r at the legislation in connec tion with the Bank of New Zealand had saved the colony from » great commercial disaster and wis approved by every patriot who understood the gratity of the position. The first work of next session should be a revision of the tariff, and be was hopeful that with the cordial assistance of the country the Govern ment would be able to remove certain anomalies, and give an additional measure of encouragement to local industries. Local government would also engage attention, and certain labor proposals which were rejected by the Legislative Council would be revived. The licensing question would also come up for don sideration. The Bill of last session would be amended and he hoped im proved. He would follow a perfectly independent course in dealing with the matter, and would be quite ready to defend his attitude before his constitu ents. The Government would further extend the village mtlements system, and the efforts in that direction would have his warm personal support.' He held that the Premier had neither defied nor broken the law in appointing Colonel Fraser ;o the office of Sergeant-at-Arms. Mr Reeves said that he was willing to admit that his brother had been admitted to the Civil Service during his term of office, but no one had suffered by the appointment, and he was quite content to leave his relative's work to speak for itself The defeat of the Midland Railway Bill was due to the opposition of Sir R. Stout and his followers: No doubt a number of impatient Liberals ware anxious to take up the position won by the pioneers of the party, but he thought thai, the great bulk of the electors would remain loyal to the men who had borne the heat and burden of the day. Mr Reeves then answered a number of questions, and at the conclusion of the meeting a *oie of thanks and confidence was accorded to the Minister by an overwhelming majority. The Press's re port of the meeting, however, leaves the impression that towards the cjbse the Minister did not have a very rosy time.

The Reciprocity Treaty.

Adjslaidk, February 12 The southern farmers complain that the reciprocal treaty with New Zealand affects them considerably, and it is contended in some quarters that the interests of farmers are being sacrificed ito benefit the wine industry. There is already a marked decline in the price of barley, and brewers in anticipation of the treaty are refraining from laying in stocks. The Register says the new arrangement is certain to meet with strong opposition from commercial men, while farmers are without a single compensation, npne of the commodities New Zealand has agreed to take being produced by farmers.

Sensational Story.

_ Perth, February 12 An astonishing story, combining all the elements of a first class romance, including the discovery of a mountain of gold and a great slaughter of natives has been published. The scene is laid somewhere beyond the Ninety Mile. Two'prospectors, Michael Fitzgerald and William Parry have been arrested in Sydney since the story came out. The story told by their mates is that a syndicate of eight was formed for the purpose of prospecting. Six of them went out in December last, and camped at Fresh Water Hotel, on the road to Mount Margaret. Fitzgerald, while engaged in tracking camels, which had wan dered away, entered a patch of dense forest, in which he caught sight of an immense outcrop of quartz, every boulder of which showed gold. The hill, which is fifteen feet wide at the < summit, is 250 feet long, seventy in height, and is described as full of gold,.i In another outcrop the casing also contains rich gold. Later information, however, tones down these glowing accounts, and says the quart? is nice battery stone, but not sensationally rich. During the absence of the pro spectors at the find blacks raided the camp. Araannamed Robertson, who joined them in pursuit of the natives, states that the latter were slaughtered wholesale, without regard to age or sex. Infants were taken from their mothers and their brains dashed out on the rocks, and unnameable outrages perpetrated on the women,

SPRINGBURN

(Own Correspondent.) The excursion from Christchurch to Mount Somers and Springburn on Thursday last; was very poorly patronised, chiefly owing to the nnp!easant weather prevailing in Christ '' church at that date There were only about . j one hundred passengers, and the majority of f I them left the train at Mount Somers, only . a^ljft, twenty coming on to Sprißgburn 3 ! greatly to the disappointment of the resi , dents of Springburn, who had made every , preparation to enable the visitors to enjoy thsmselvea. About half an hour before the train was expected, the road to the railway station presented a lively scene, buggies and traps, and timber waggons fitted up with seats, wending their way dq\vn to tbo sta< tion to welcome the expected visitors. Con ■pinuous amongst the conveyances was a ■ixteen-bullock team belonging to Messrs H. Sharplin and Co., who had gone to con* siderable trouble and expense to give the expected visitors a hearty welcome—only to miet with disappointment, aa with one ex ception every conveyance returned home empty. What added greatly to the annoyance experienced was the fact that the railway authorities, for reasons best known to themselves, refused to accept any passengers from Rakaia or Ashburton, the result being that, whereas the excursion re sulted in a considerable loss to the depart ment, if they had only exercised a little common sense and so arranged their fares as to enable holiday makers from Ashburton and Kakaia to come to the bush for a day's outing, it would have re sulted in a profit instead of a loss to the department.- Your correspondent has good authority for stating that if the Railway Department had given the residents of Ashburton and Rakaiaan opportunity toenjoy a day's outing in the bush several hundred people would gladly have availed themselves of the opportunity to do so. It is to be hoped the Railway Department will take the hint, and the next time they contemplate running an excursion to Springburn, give everyone who lives between Christchurch and Westerfield the chance to avail them selves of a pleasant day's outing. If they do this they will realise that instead of their special excursions resulting in a heavy loss, as the last one must have have done, the result will be exactly the opposite, especially if it be arranged on the weekly half holiday.

I used one bottle, and am thankful to say the pain haa gone. I believe it ia a remedy everyone' should have in their possession. I naver had its equal. P. Bebbym'n.

The doctor at last advised me to go to Christoburch and get the foot taken off, which I objected to do. I got vary disheartened, as there ceemed no curs for me.
