THE TICS PLAGUE.

Report toy Dr Wynne. • (PER PRESS ASSOCIATION. — COPYRIGHT. ) Sydney^ November 10 Dr Wynne, who has been investw gating the tick plague m Queensland, on behalf of the Government there, has submitted his report, m which he states that the tick is infested with various parasites, but experiments failed to show any isolated particular parasite ■which producfs Texas fever from the tick, itself. The4atter,/hp says, merely acts as f a vehicle for inoculating the animal with fever, and he adds that there is now every probability that, by subcutaneous injection, the constituents of which will shortly be published, fatal effects may be prevented. Dr Wynne has recommended the Queensland Government to carry out experiments on a large scale, and if "effective the remedy will be cheap and easy of application, In conclusion he Btates there is great danger of the disease spreading into New South Wales, and he fears that there will be greater mortality among cattle m Queensland than there was last year.

OVIDE MUSIN.

Lovers of really good music perfectly per formed will have an opportunity, seldom vouchsafed to Ashburton people, on Monday evening, of hearing m their own hall one of the best living players on the violin— the 'king of all stringed instruments. On that evening M. Ovide Musin's company will occupy the boards, and M. Musin himself will be the chief performer. He will give ezcerpta from the works of the great masters, and m doing so will not only place the beauties of those works before his hearers, but by his own wonderful Bk ill show what immense possibility are before students of the violin. Bis playing is a revel ition to students of what the violin is capable of, and what can be done with it m the hands of genius. The wonderful and world-renowned performance of Paganini on a single string, so long believed to be impossible of execu tion by any but the great Pag. himse f, is reproduced with ease by Musin, who, how ever, does .not claim to be the only artiste capable of performing this feat m violin technique, and wherever this gifted French man has attempted the diffioulb task, he has filled all his hearers who know anything oi its difficulties, not only with admiration but amazement. M. Ovide Musin is accompanied by Madame Musin (nee Miss Louise Tanner] the gifted American cantatrice who accom panied the distinguished artiste on his last colonial tour, Madame is a rich soprano, and her fame as a songstress is nearly ac great as is that of her husband as a violinist. Another artiste; of mark is\Herr Scharf, s pianist of the first rank, as he must needs be who would aspire to accompany a player ol M. Mußin's calibre. Miss Hatherley is at artiste of a kind but rarely met, for the harp is a sadly neglected instrument, at indeed all stringed instruments have been, until recently, .that are played with the fingers without the aid of a bow. The faßhion m this respect has changed of late • years, however, and orchestral organisation! m which the guitar, mandolin, and harp ar< the only instruments are becoming more anc more numerous among JSnglishrspeakini people. Miss Hatherley is a finished harpist apd a natural genius for the instrument ha; been perfected by careful and assiduoui training. Mr Alfred Hill, of Wellington perhaps bur best violinist, certainly our bes pfow Zealand composer, and a cultuiec musician generally, is another of the com pany, and his duets with the chief ar calculated to leave with the heater a undying memory of sweet sounds It ma; be that local talent will assist, Altogethe a musical treat of the very highest order i m store for Ashburton, and the value of th larger hall is shown by the fact that i makes possible a performance by a compan oitheMusin standing at popular prices (
