"£IOOO REWARD TO THE MAN WHO WILL MIND HIS OWN BUSINESS."

To the Editor of the Evening Star. Sir, —Will you kindly permit me to reply to "^Million Prices" in as few words as possible. I ,) to the present I did not think it worth my while to answer the absurd letters written by the Paul Pry of Auckland until "Million Prices" made an assertion ho is not in a posi tion to prove. He says, " people who can afford to pay a shilling will not go b3cause there is nothing to see." I beg to" state with out fear, of contradiction that the pieces placed on the stage of the Prince of Wales Theatre have been as well done, if not better, than any pieces in any theatre in the Southern hemisphere. I have spared neither time nor expense in the proper production of all plays. With regard to raising tho prices I have nothing to do. '' Million Prices" will please in future before rushing into print find out what he i 3 writing about. In the case of the Opera Monsieur Cagli raised the prices. In the case of Z Trio thoy positively refused to play for less than the prices charged during their engagoment. Mr. Hoskins made the engagement during my absence at the Thames, and he, ho doubt, will substantiate this if " Million Prices "is still inquisitive. I even tried to reduce the prices for my benefit, but the Z trio refused to play, and gave as their reason the letters and notices in the papers concerning the prices; Now, sir, the only course left for me to pursue was either to engage the Z trio on their own terms, or permit them to pass through our city without ap pearing. I chose the latter, and have had no reason to repent. If I hadn't done this " Million Prices " would have been the first to cry " Monoply." In the case of Professor Haselmayer I used all my influence to get him to reduce the prices without success. I shall waste no further time in reply to any letter that may appear interfering with business. If " Million Prices " would oblige me by sending his card I shall be happy to take him into my confidence in any future arrangements with " stars " who may visit Auckland. Apologising for trespassing on your valuable Bpace, I am, &c, B. N. Jones.

THE LATE FIRE IN NEWTON

To the Editor of the Evening Stab. Sir, — Allow me through your invaluable journal to tender my sincere thanks to G. S. Graham, Esq., ageut for the Norwich Union Insurance Society in Auckland, for the very noble, generous, and considerate manner in which he has acted towards me in reference to the insurance effected upon my property in Newton. As agent for the Company he might have put me to considerable los 3 and endless trouble if he had thought for one moment otherwise than that I had fixed in my ignoraneo the risk upon toe building rather than upon the goods. I was in total ignorance of what was contained in the policy, as after I had paid the premium I never looked at the contents of the docu ment ; thus, notwithstanding my position as having no claim legally, yet morally speaking my word and oath were accepted that I never dreamt of such a thing as to insure another's property of which I was only a weekly tenant, and leave my own to the mercies of any and every accident which might come. Sir, my reasons for giving this publicity is to show that if I had been insured in many companies, although they are eager to accept risks, yet I might have had a considerable amount of trouble in receiving my right, and they might have raised objections and ignored my claim altogether. I think that the above conduct speaks highly for tho consideration and respectablity of the Norwich Union Insurance Society in Auckland as well as other parts of the globe. I am, &c., Feedebick Lee.

CHURCH MUSIC

To the Editor of the Evening Star,

SlB, —In several recent reports of Church proceedings, and particularly those of the Presbyterian persuasion, a very noticeable feature has beeu the improvement recognised in church music. Last year at Papakura the Rev. T. Norrie congratulated the congregation on the improvement in the psalmody effected by the efforts of two of the members of the congregation, and the other day I observed a similar recognition made by the authorities of St. James' Presbyterian Church. This is as it should be, for I hold that if we have music in our churches at all it should be the the best obtainable. In most of our city churches it is very pleasing to find the music usually performed in an exceedingly creditable style, although perhaps the selections in some cases may be more judiciously made. In some of our suburban districts, however, there are still great improvements to be effected, and I think it is the duty of the various ministers and church wardens of those churches where the music is not all that is desirable to proceed at once io effect those improvements which the increasing musical taste and education of the people demand. What did for twenty years ago will not do now, and the musical sensibilities of congregations mußt not be dis gusted by ill-kept time or worse singing. I am, &c, Minim.

MECHANICS' INSTITUTE.

To the Editor of the Evening Stae. Sib, —The reporter's table in the hall of the Mechanics' Institute has followed the clock, and is removed, probably to increase the household furniture of the obliging hall-keeper. Before the meeting of the Eureka Hill Gold Mining Company"yesterday,onmy complaining of its removal to that functionary, I was met with insolence and behaviour that might fairly be construed as likely to provoke a breach of the peace. It is needless to say that my request for its return t® the hall was not com plied with. -I am, &c., , ■•' o Repobteb.

J. MASON AND YOUR TEETOTAL CORRESPONDENTS.

To the Editor of the Evening Stae. Sib,—On behalf of your readers allow me to suggest that should you by any chance receive a line or two of common sense from either of the above you publish it forthwith ; but I protest against your columns being flooded with their wishy-washy effusions. Pray exercise your right to preserve your paper from inundation, when you will merit tho thanks of more than one Subscribes.
