NELSON.

This day. Major Gordon announced yesterday at a Church parade that extra representatives would be carried to and from the range at three shillings per day, the Government having declined to find transport. A meeting of the extra representatives has teen held to consider the matter, as it was never contemplated that the range would be bo far from tcP»rn, and that they would be put to such an expense. They appointed a depu_ tation to wait upon Major Gordon and prefer a request through him to the Defence Minister asking the Government to provide means of transport. It is believed Mr McLean will grant the request. The people of Nelson have provided a free luncheon on the ground for all competitors . during the contest, and are getting up ball s &nd entertainments.

FATAL ACCIDENT.

An old man named Joseph Shaw, in the ' employ of Mr James Hunt, farmer, Panmure, met with a severe accident on Saturday last, ending fatally this morning. It appears that the deceased and another man were driving i the horses into the yard, and when Shaw was replacing the slip-rail a two-year-old colt ran up against the deceased and knocked him violently down upon some scoria. Dr Fitzgerald was sent for, who, after examining the deceased, advised his removal to the , hospital, where he was sent. He arrived at the hospital on Saturday night, and died this morning. We do not know whether an inquest will be held or no.

CITY COUNCIL. This Day.

The usual fortnightly meeting of the City Council was held this afternoon. Present : His Worship the Mayor, Councillors Isaacs, Williams, Prime, Hurst, Holdship, Dar gaville and Hobbs. The minutes of the previous meeting were read and confirmed. LETTERS. Several letter were read, also a telegram from Mr Macdonald in reference to the Public Health Act. The Chairman said that he had some communication with Mr Stone respecting the building of two houses on his property in Princes-street, and wishing to know whether the present are to be the levels of the street. He recommended him to address the Council. Moved by Councillor Hobbs that the Coun cil undertake at present to fix the level of Princes-street. Councillor Dargaville thought the Council could not do anything at present towards fixing the levels. Councillor Hurst considered it would be a hardship upon the applicant not to grant his request. The Chairman said that shortly there would be great alterations in that part of the city owing to the contemplated Barrack alterations. Councillor Dargaville seconded the motion, which was then carried. A letter was read from Mr White, carver, of Wellesley-street, stating that he had paid certain rates to the late Collector, and had no receipt for the same, and it would be hard for him, with his large family, to have to pay them over again. Councillor Dargaville thought to admit this would be a bad precedent. Councillor Isaacs knew of a similar case. Councillor Holdship moved that all persons who have paid their rates should be called upon to make an affidavit of the same. Councillor Dargaville strongly objected to such a motion, and would go dead against it. Councillor Holdship withdrew his motion, and the application of Mr White was held over for future consideration. A letter from the Superintendent, respect ing the gazetting of certain clauses of the Public Health Act, was read. DEMONSTRATION TO THE GOVERNOR. The Mayor then referred to a letter from Mr Weston on the subject of a public demonstration to his Excellency the Governor. Some discussion ensued, when it was moved, seconded, and carried, —"That this Council contribute £25 towards the demon stration." [Left sitting.]

PRINCE OF WALES THEATRE.

There was a good attendance at the Prince of Wales Theatre on Saturday evening last, and a very amusing programme submitted. We have pleasure in introducing these talented performers to the notice of our readers, taking them in the order in which they appeared on the evening of their opening. First came Mr Bromley, who sang a character song, entitled " There's life in the old boy yet." This was speedily followed by "Go it while you're young," both very amusing ditties. Anythng more droll than the ap pearance, acting and singing of Mr Bromley can scarcely be imagined. Demonstrations of applause burst from the audience at the end of each verse, and Mr Bromley became a favorite. Mr Tom Margett's followed with a couple of serio-comic songs, and he also was loudly applauded, especallyin "My Darling Mignonette." The next member of the party who appeared was Miss Neilson, a fascinating young lady, who sang a sweet ballad, " Yesterday." She was received with great favour, and her song encored. Mr Bromley then appeared again as an elderly lady, troubled with rheumatics, and met with a tremendous reception. His " make up" was admirable; and the amusing song, "Drat them Piheumatics," received a storm of applause. He next came forward with the song, "Pet of my Papa;" the change of dress being effected in "less than no time." Miss Bromley sang the touching ballad, " Driven from Home," in a most spirited and expressive manner. Her singing met with much favour. The monkey Jenny, under the guardianship of Signor Ferrari, exhibited her skill on the trapeze bar, to the no small delight Of the audience. Mr Tom Margetts then sang " Riding in the Row," and was loudly encored. After this, Miss Neilson and Mr Bromley enacted a mu sical duologue representing a love-sick police man and his buxom blooming servant-gal. It was very much enjoyed and applauded by the audience. The second part concluded with Mr Bromley's intensely funny stump speech. The fun of this was irresistible, the eccentricities of the orator being of an in tensely diverting nature. The remarks in his oration to Williams' fire kindlers, Mr Coombes' establishment, the Mermaid, and a host of other subjects caused considerable amusement. Mr Cullimore presided at the piano. The entertainment was a success.

A full attendance of the members of the Good Intent Lodge of Oddfellows is re quested at the hall, Cook street, this even ing, when business of importance will be transacted. From our Wellington telegrams we learn that Mr Fox has consented to take office as Premier, and the Ministry have been gazetted. His Excellency the Governor left Wellington in the Luna at eleven o'clock this morning.
