POLICE COURT.—This Day.

(Before P. A. Philips, Esq., R.M.)

DRUNKENNESS,

John Andrews, who seemed very much amused at his situation, waa fined 20s and costs, or in default 48 hours' imprisonment. John Miller, for the same offence, met with similar retribution. Thomas Robinson, a new offender, who seemed ashamed of himself, was let off with 5s and costs. Matilda Morgan, a very old offender, was next brought forward, and on being told she was charged with being drunk said : " Yes, I'm always charged with being drunk. I was no more drunk than your Worship is. I don't plead guilty." Constable Gordon and Detective Ternahan proved the charge. Hia Worship inflicted a fine of 20s and costs or 48 hours' imprisonment. BREACH OV MUNICIPAL POLICE ACT. • Andrew Kirkwood was charged with allow ing his chimney to take fire in Parnell. Mrs Kirkwood appeared for her husband, and on it appearing that the fire was the result of accident, and not neglect, his Worship inflicted the nominal fine of one shilling and costs. LARCENY. Anne White, who appeared with a baby in her arms, was charged with stealing three shirts and other articles from the house of Alexander Drummond, in Chancery-street. The prisoner pleaded guilty, and was sentenced to two months' imprisonment with hard labour.

MONDAY POPULAR CONCERT.

Another of these popular concerts took place at the Choral Hall last night. The complete and brilliant success in every way which attended it must make the enterpris ing promoters feel proud of the good work they have accomplished. Entertainments of this description it was thought at one time would not go down with a sufficient number of the Auckland people to make them fairly remunerative. The selections being rigidly confined to works of a higher class than are usually brought forward in so-called popular concerts was the principal reasons for this apprehension, but whether the mass of Auck land people have a more elevated taste than they were credited with, or whether these charming re-unions have educated that taste up to the necessary standard, it can be no longer a matter ok doubt that the mere announcement of any future concert of the series will be sufficient to ensure a crowded house. The success of last night's performance was the more deserved inasmuch as the promoters, in some of their previous laudable efforts to provide intel lectual and at the same time attractive fare for their patrons, have met with more than ordinary difficulties in the shape of bad weather and other unavoidable hindrances. Last night, however, the elements were more propitious, and the rain, with apparently re lenting sympathy, kept off till the close of the performance, when it could not resist a gentle sprinkling of the homeward - bound crowd. By the time fixed for the commencement, the large hall was crowded in every part, not less than 900 persons being present. The pro gramme opened with the overture from Mozart's "Figaro," which was given with effect by the band, difficult piece of instrumentation though it is. A glee "The Red Cross Knight," followed. This was sung by three of our best known gentlemen voca lists, and provoked great applause. A song "Dreamland" was next rendered by Mrs Mitchell. This favourite artiste was in capital voice, and the song being well sv^Bd to her sweetly mellow intonation was eminently successful, in spite of the interruption caused by the continued coughing of a child which ought to have been in bed. The famous " Blue Danube " waltz (Strauss) by the band came next. This popular waltz, which was all the rage last year in London, wa3 properly appreciated by the audience, and the band likewise paid it the highest compliment in their power by devoting especial pains to its correct rendering, if we except the second clarionet, or some low wind instrument, which waa out of tune. Mrs Mitchell and Mr Newbury Bang a duet from' " Faust" (Spohr) which took immensely, the two voices harmonising splendidly. The full band ac companiment was very good. Mr R. Yates then gave " The Soldier's Dream of Home " with band accompaniment and violoncello obligato. The accompanying music to this waa the composition of a gentleman who devotes a great deal of time to the success of these concerts, and was in itself a work of more than ordinary merit. The clever manner in which the strain of "Home Sweet Home" was intermingled with the air of 'The Soldiers Dream of Home," was particularly noticeable. Mr Yates sang well, as he always does, and was loudly ap plauded. A part song, " The Rifleman," was given with good expression, and in first class tune and time. Miss Leaf (soprano) met with an excellent reception in the song " Happy be thy Dreams," the cadenza at the conclusion being exceedingly creditable, and had it not been for the fact that encores were tacitly prohibited, the young lady would have had to appear again. A lady amateur next played a solo on the pianoforte, " The Cas cades." This was well executed, and the audience were again loud in their expressions of gratification. Mr Newbury now came on, and sang the exceedingly difficult air from 14 Acia and Galatea," " Oh Ruddier than the Cherry." We may be excused for saying that we think this piece was a mistake. It / >a well sung, but the nature of aria makes it more suitable for an exercise for the voice than for public per formance before a mixed audience. It was teverthelejw well received, Tbe baud accora« pwiiaent, however, was not perfect, the first violin being all out ot ttrae. As a whtfe tho tMtro mention v«J ¥<$<* to fWtam MB

certs. The "March of the Priests," from "Athalie," concluded the first part of the programme. After the interval a new feature in these entertainments was produced in the performance of a part of Offenbach's opera buffe "The Blind Beggars" by Messrs A. E. Isaacs and R. Yates. The innovation proved a decided hit, the only fault found being that the selection was too short. The remarkable gets-up of the two gentlemen were productive of much laughter; the dialogue was well sustained throughout, and the by-no-meana easy solos and duets introduced were success ful in the extreme. Mr Isaacs, as the beggar, who indulged in the light and comic style of the blind business, was irresistibly funny, while Mr Yates was not a whit behindhand in the heavier line. Ihe difficult duet in which the two styles are blended together went perhaps better than any other part of the selection. Ihe production of these lively morceaux is a happy thought" on the part of the suggestor, and should most decidedly be continued. During the interval refreshments were dis pensed by Mr Perkins, of the Occidental Hotel. The tea and coffee buffet we were glad to see better patronised than is usually the case by the ladies. Why not prohibit smoking in the side-room for the future, and make it a more general promenade. At pre sent the gentlemen selfishly keep it to them selves. -

THE HARBOUR BOARD.

The usual fortnightly meeting of the Har bour Board was held this afternoon at the office of the Board. Present—Capt. Daldy (in the chair), Messrs. Philips, Casey, Wil, liams, Yon der Heyde, Niccol, Stewart, Frater, Kissling, and Boylan. A letter was read from Mr F. P. Gardner of the Thames Dining Rooms, on the subject the frontage of his allotment being taken up by the contractor for the building of the silt basins, to the great injury of his business. It was agreed that the matter be referred to the Wharf Committee with power to act. A letter was read from Messrs Archard and Co., Watt, and Mont, asking for an ex tension of the wharf in Mechanics' Bay. Tho Chairman said the request really amounted to a request for 50 feet to be added on to their leases. Mr W. H. Kissling moved that tho request of tho petitioners be granted, the work being performed subject to the approval of the Engineer of the Board, and that the question of adding anything on to the leases be re ferred to the Endowment Committee, with power to act. The motion was seconded by Mr Williams, and carried. J The telegram'sent to the Minister of Public Works on the subject of the injury being done to the works in Mechanics Bay by the stoppage of the works in the outer embank^ ment, was read. The Chairman stated that he had received no answer.

It was moved arid carried that another telegram be sent. The report of the Wharf Committee was read and adopted. The 'report containwLa resolution that a/footpath 5 feet wide Bhonld be constructed on the wharf. The report of the Finance committee recommended that at the cud of the year all tolls in Custom-house-street should cease. The report was adopted. The report of the Harbour Board Act Committee was read. In this the committee advise the leaving o^ the constitution of the Harbour Board as it is. The report was adopted. _ | The report from the Clerk of Workß on Mechanic's Bay, was read and adopted. The minutes of the Finance Committee were read, and the statement of accounts. The payments made were, for general ac counts, £140 15s 5d ; permanent works ac count, £574 17s 3d. The funds in hand are, general account, £2019 2s; permanent works account, £2650 ls Id. It was then proposed by the Chairman that the name of Mr A. Stewart be placed upon the Finance Committee, and that the name of Mr L. W. Eaton be placed upon the Wharf Committee, instead of that of Mr Cruickshank, resigned. The motion was agreed to, subject to the question of whether Mr Stewart's right to a seat at the Board was invalidated by the change of the name of the Dedwood district, being referred to the Superintendent. It was agreed on the motion of Captain Daldy that the matter of enforcing clauses 67 68 69 of the harbour regulations, with reference to ballast lighters, be referred to the Chief Harbour-master with power to see them carried out. . Mr Williams said it was a growing evil, ships being supplied with short weight ballast. He had heard several complaints about it. • :"

This was all the business,
