Wedding—Ato the Sal ration Army Citadel, WellingtoD, on October 24, the nuptials of two Army soldiers were publicly celebrated, a collection being taken up At the door to be devoted to the self denial fund of the Weir Sington corps. There was » large attendance of the public. The contracting par tie* were Treasurer Alfred Armer Carton, of the Asbburton corps, and Sister Ethel Boas Dawioo, a local soldier. The bride was Attended by her two sisters, the Misses Gertie and Phemis Dawaon, and by two juvenile naices, Stella Aston and Muriel Harvey. The Misses Dawion looked very neat in dresses of deep cream nnn'a veiling, and the juniors clad in white, bore wands surmounted by orange blossoms and deoorafced with pendants of scarlet ribbons.

A reo«p tion was held after the ceremony at the residence of M rs VV J Harvey. Making a Clban Breast of it—Sir Henry Irving made a public confession at the prizegiving of the Royal Academy of Music recently. In the coarse of his dramatic career,he said,hehad occasionally eat down at a piano on the stags and discoursed, as it appeared, pleasing music to his audience. As a matter of fast Sir Henry on these occasions was merely a player in dumb-show, the actual performer being concealed behind a screen. By these vicar Jons performances. Sir Homy acquired quite a reputation as a musician! Bat imposture is always found out, and sometimes at social gatherings he was asked to repeat; the piece he was so beautifully playing every evening. Obv iously, the screen and the hidden perfor mer jwerenot available on these occasions, and Sir Henry was "driven to many subterfuges" in order to avoid detection. These^deoeptiona seemed to have weighed upon his conscience, so that at last he stood in the penitential sheet and as he said, "made a clean breast ot it!" The Railway Thato-io.—L»»t nighb the "special," bound rorth, oonsisted of live oars all well filled. The express also curded a fair number of passengers.
