thought they could not say- anything that would enhance him in their eyes. The toast was enthusiastically drunk. Mr. Bullock, in replying, thought Mr. Williamson was giving him a higher character than he deserved, but it would be quite fair for him to say that lie had always taken a keeu interest in the town's progress. If they went back over the past few years, say to 1807, they would learn that the only places in the Ashburton were the hotel they were nowr in, Turton’s place, Friedlanders’ store, ‘ Williamson’s, and his own. Now, though the borough was only a year or so old, it presented an appearance that was creditable, and and a history that was remarkable. The speaker, after making reference to the question of asphalting the streets, drainage, the water supply, and other questions, took the opportunity of again thanking the Council for the continued courtesy tliey had shown to him. The borough's funds had been low, and there had been difficulty in getting both ends to meet, but he was quite sure there was a good time coming, and that a bright future was in store for Ashburton. He felt that the time would come again, and was not far off when

property would be so enhanced in value as to bring double what it was worth now. Mr. Bullock concluded with proposing the toast of “the Mayor elect.” He felt fatherly towards Mr. Friedlander, who was like a child entering upon a career. He hoped the new Mayor would get from them the same flattering expres sion of good 'svill that had been given to him that night. Mr. Friedlander, in acknowleding the toast, recounted some of the “ dangers of the way ” that were experienced in the early days of the township, and drew a flattering comparison between the Ash burton of then and the Ashburton of now. Much of the progress and good appear ance of the township were due to Mr. Bullock, who was a man of steady and perservering energy, and whose public spirit had been profitable in a high degree to the township.., 7 f Mr/St. Hill proposed the “ Commercial Interests,” which was replied to by Messrs. R. Friedlander and-W. H. Gundry. Mr. Gundry proposed the “ Agricul tural Interests, ’’ . which i were so closely allied to the “ Commercial Interests ” that it was difficult'to'say where they divided. Both were dependent to a very great ex tent u pom the harvest, and both were now looking anxiously to the heavens. If the weather should be- fine and dry until Christmas he had every belief a good har vest would be reaped. Mr. Robinson replied to the toast. He denied that there was any rust as yet amongst the wheat in this district, and he put down the average of the new wheat crop of the county at 27 bushels, the barley at 37, and the oats at 40. Mr. Williamson also replied.

Mr. Saunders proposed the healths of “ The Council Staff.” It was a very dis agreeable duty always, to have to discharge men with whom there was no fault to find, and he hoped the time would soon come round when the Council would be able to renew engagements that had been ter minated, and to renew them at salaries far higher than they have been paid before. He coupled the names of Mr. C. C. Fooks, Engineer, and Mr. C. Braddell, Town Clerk, who both replied. The other toasts proposed were “ The Ladies,” “The Press,” the “Borough Solicitor,” &c.

H.M.S. PINAFORE

D’Orsay Ogden and Towle's ; Opera Bouffe Company appeared at the Town Hall last night to a splendid house. The opera produced was the famous “ H. M. S. Pinafore,” with scenery and effects from the Acoademy of Music, Christchurch. Miss Thorne, as Josephine, was excellent, both in singing and acting, and dressed the part most appropriately. Mrs. Florence, owing to the unavoidable absence of Miss Beatrice, undertook the part of Buttercup, and made a decided hit, her pure con tralto voice telling well in the con certed music. Madlle. Murriell, a new aspirant to lyric fame, was very happy in her part as the Cousin Hebe, and won golden opinions from all. Mr. Mack D. Alexander fully sustained his reputation as a careful and conscientious vocalist and actor. His bye play and “official” utterances were always provocative of well earned mirth. Mr. J. W. Marshall was very creditable as the Captain, his magni ficent baritone voice being very suitable to th'e roleri*'- Mr] Florence, as Ralph Rackstraw, was all that could be desired, his exceptionally robust tenor being specially suited to the lively music of this the first of opera comiques. Mr. Warren was the Dead eye and acquitted himself remarkably well; Mr. Cahill was amusing as the Boatswain. Sir Joseph Porter introduced very felicitiously an interlude in the first act, which was very well received. Mr. Marshall sang magnificiently the ‘ ‘ Slave chase,” Mrs Florence the favorite scena “ Rocked in the cradle of the deep.” Mr. Florence then delighted everyone by his artistic rendering of the “ Death of Nel son.” Miss Murriell followed with “ Marble Halls,” and received a well deserved encore her, top notes are really wonderful; reminding one of Sherwin or Pe Murska, they are so pure, clear, and unforced. Mr. Marshall finished the melange with a spirited rendering of “ Nancy,Lee.”, It is sufficient to say that Mr; H. F. Towle presided at the pianoforte to guarantee the excellence of the accompaniments. We shall be glad to welcome this Company back again, and as we hear it i«s comtemplated after the Christmas and New Year holidays to produce and with all the scenery effects &c., the pantomime with the classical burlesque of Acis and Galatea, with a con siderably augmented company, we can fairly presage a treat of no ordinary nature is in store for the Ashburton and sur rounding districts. Mr. Ogden and Mr. Towle deserve great credit for their pluck and* enterprise.

CRICKET.

To the Editor. Sir, —You very correctly remarked in a late issue that some cricketers in Ashbur ton only don the flannel when there are important matches to take place. You might have further added, with equal justice, that it is quite common now for some of our cricketers to promise to play, both in home and foreign matches, and, without either rhyme or reason, they never think anything more about it, totally re gardless of their own or their confreres’ good name as cricketers. These remarks are drawn forth by the utter disregard of promises and want of principle shown by some gentlemen who had promised to proceed by this morning’s train to Geraldine, where a match had been arranged to take place to day at the request of the Geraldine Club, and who, of course, expected the Ashburton cricketers to fulfil their engagement. Out of thirteen selected only five—namely, Messrs. Hod der, Fooks, Fowler, Ashwood, and Poyntz met at the appointed time, the remainder not thinking it worth their while to keep their promise. What the opinion of the Geraldine cricketers will be at the conduct of their Ashburton friends it is easy to imagine ; but this is not by any means the first time matches—both home, and more especially foreign—have fallen through in consequence of players disregarding the promises given to their Captains. It is enough to make one blush when he hears a stranger mention the words “ Ashburton cricketers,” associated as these words are with repeatedly broken promises. In fact, if matters go on in their pre sent state ; and members do not show a little more regard for their cricketing reputation, and thus not disappoint those whose challenge they have accepted, cricket in Ashburton will be a thing of the past. Hoping this may tend to freshen up our lax players and make them more jealous of their cricketing honor—l am, &c.,

Always at the Wickets. Ashburton, Dec. 18.
