THE BAND AND THE THEATRE.

To the Editor of the Evening Stab. Sir, —Having heard that a rumour exists in town that I had no authority to advertise the Volunteer Band to appear at the Theatre 3?oyal last evening. I beg to inform the public that I was fully justified in announcing their appearance. Mr. Lord and myself waited upon B. M. McComish and asked him if he was agreeable for his band to perform on TJmrsday evening. His answer was, t£ rtainly, if you get permission from Capt. ~\fs>B, No. 1 Company." We waited _ upon Capti! Burn?., and obtained his consent without the slightest demur. The Band did not flay and no intimations of the fact was in any way conveyed to me. lam sorry to have to bring the matter before the public, bub in self-defence and in justice to my patrong I think the step absolutely necessary. Anxious ly awaiting an explanation from B. M. ■McComish,—l am &c, J. A. South.

To the Editor of the Evening Stab, Sic, —At the meeting of shopkeepers held in the hall of ths Young Men's Christian Associa tion on Wednesday evening last I observed a group of four persons who evidently catne for the sole purpose, as their behaviour testified, of laughing at and interrupting the proceed* ings. As this is not the first occasion uDon which two at least of these individuals have been guilty of similar rowdy conduct, I shall, if it occurs again, not hesitate to publish their names.—"Sours, &c, OB3EKVEE. Auckland, 9th May, 1872.

IjIXTRACT from a report on an Analysis JLU of Gabdneb & Co.'s "X India" Pale Ale, made by Professor Alfbed S. Taylob, M.D., F.R.S., of Guy's Hospital, London :— "Ibelieve this to be a sample of good, ■wholesome, and genuine Beer, sufficiently Btrong in alcohol to render it a pleasant stimulant, and to confer on it keeping properties. The mineral matter or ash is in small proportion, lio greater than that which should be found in a genuine decoction of malt. It consißts ofalkaline, phosphate, and chloride salts, TrMch- are naturally found in the blood, and 'which may be regarded as necessary constituents of our daily food. In the form and proportion in which they exist in this sample they are conducive to health, and confer wholesome properties on the Ale. "As to the quality of the Ale for Indian con sumption, I do not see that it admits of any improvement. It has the genuine taste which only maTt and hops of good quality skilfully proportioned can give. " Apart from the results of this chemical analysis, which has been made for my own satisfaction, I have U3ed this Ale as an article of diet for several weeks, and I find it to be as wholesome and proper for daily use as its chemical composition indicates."
