A Medical Flare Up

Tho formation of the new Medical Society here is a signal instance of the truth of the saying that "Doctors differ." It appears that a number of the medical men of the city determined on establishing a society for the protection of the profession, but as even doctors have their little tiffa and disagree ments, there are a few who refrain from ex changing with each other the usual little courtesies of society. The first consequence of this was that none were invited to attend the preliminary meeting except those who be longed to the mutual admiration circle. Those who did not happen to be on the most friendly terms with the promoters were studiously left without an invitation. It was only through the Press that they became aware of what had been done by a few of their brother medicos. Thia of course raised the dander of those who were left out. They considered it a studied insult nnd a slur upon the profession, that personal feeling should be imported into a movement of the kind. The result is that an apology will have to be made, or in all probability the newly formed society will collapse by the withdrawal of those who" have no private animosities, and who sympathise with their slighted brethren.

Outbreak of Scarletina. Scarletina has broken out at the Te Aro end of the city. Six children in one family ill with it, three seriously, two dangerously. The father also, it is feared, is sickening for thedisease. The medical attendant (Hon. Dr. Grace), has taken all due precautions to averb risk of the infection spreading, and has given notice to the Board of Health that scarleiina exists in the city.

The Opera Company. The Simonsen Opora Company are having a highly successful season here, with capital houses. Madam Simonsen's singing is much admired, and Mr Morley is pronounced the finest tenor yet heard here. in " Sonnam bula " after his song, a scene of excitement ensued never equalled here before. The house and even orchestra literally rose and cheered him, recalling him thrice. " Hermits Bell" was produced last night, and was an immense success.

THE NEW MUSEUM AND INSTITUTE.

A wonderful change has come over the interior of the new Museum since Saturday. By dint of continuous hard work on the part of Mr Oheeaeman and his corps of assistants, paid and voluntary, the scene of confusion which greeted the visitor then has now been metamorphosed into the most beautiful exhi bition of works of art which has ever been presented to the public of Auckland. The work of arrangement bad progressed sufficiently thia morning to warrant the con fident belief that everything will be ready for the opening ceremonial at eight o'clock this evening. Down stairß the splendid collections of minerals and rocks has been sat out in perfect order, _ and several fresh cases of valuable specimens have been added. Two oases at the far end are rilled with old china, exhibited by Mrs Whitaker. Some very ancient and curious ware i 8 included in this collection, conspicuous being some fine specimens of Dragon china. But it is upstairs in the gallery that; the coup d' mil is particularly striking. Prominent in the array of beautiful objects to be seen, are the pictures. Tne Society of Artists have their Black and White Exhibition hung on the left hand side. The exhibits in this interesting section are so numerous that some difficulty has been found to make room for them. The wall is com pletely covered with drawings in pencil and chalk, some of which are of a high order of merit. On the opposite wrll are the oil and water-colour paintings, which have been lent for the opening by private individuals. There are three rows of these one above another, and the general effect is excellent. We notice tne efforts of moufc of our local artists, amateur and professional, but we must re eerve criticism for a future notice. Miss Isaacs and Miss Leech have con tributed beautiful collections of shells ; Mr Waymouah shows his graceful yacht models ; Mr Garnaut has a place for his frigate model, shewn at the opening of the Market House. A largo number of highly Interesting Maori matß are shown by Messrs Shepherd, Bar- Btow, and Smailes, and look well hung over the railing of the gallery. fi .In the case exhibited by Mr J. E. White and Mr T. Leigh White, the bronze antiques comprise the following!:I Etruscan hand lamp, probably 2000 years old ; Irish spear heads, chisels, crucifix, etc. ; Egyptian dagger, with figure of Isis for handle ; ancient Saxon medallion ; Roman toga fastener. There are also included in this case a curioua leaden censer (early English); speci mens of old window glass from Oxford Cathe dral, found during recent restorations, date close of the 15th century; specimen of ancient Roman glass ; copies of inscriptions on the walls of oatacombs (jßome), photo graphed by limelight; a very old greenstone mere, and other articles of rarity and value. Amongst the natural objectß in this case we notice a pair of sponge skeletons (euphlectella apeciosa); a very perfect crystal from Switzerland ; ancient amber rosary beads ; stone axe (New Caledonia); antique Irish glaBS beads, and several rare shells. Mr Greenshields exhibits^a'silk-printing loom, and a variety of patent spring belts. The piece of work displayed in the loom has the following words woven in silken letters : " Auckland Institute and Museum, June 5, 1876." This, we presume, is the first piece of silk cloth ever made in the colony. How ever simple it may appear, as a work of art it will bear investigation by any one skilled

in such matters. We have also seen braces made in the same way. They are extremely pretty, and will last a life-time. The belts have a spring in the back, some of the springs being formed of india-rubb9r rings, others of rubber elastic, and are evidently a great de sideratum to those who use belts in preference to braces. Such local industries deserve en couragement, and will no doubS be duly appreciated. SIR GEORGE GREY'S EXHIBITS. By far the most interesting objects to be seen in the Exhibition are the old manu scripts and books contributed by his Honor the Superintendents These are of extraordi nary antiquity and rareness, and would be interesting iv any exhibition intheworid. It is needless to say they are of enormous value. As these will be sure to attract the lion's share of public attention, we append a list of the most notabie volumes :—The Faerie Queene. Copy of the first edition. Two curious and ancient missals with miniature illustrations of great beauty ; date circiter 1300 A.D. Saxon Chron icle, by Schceffer. First edition, 1492.

Salisbury Missal, with curious illustra tion of the Martyrdom of Thomas A'Beeket, which was cut; out of nearly all the copies in England by royal command. The value of the copy is greatly enhanced by its having escaped this mutilation. Ars Moriendi. One of theoldest books ia the world, A book of coloured etchings by W. Blake, commonly known aa Pictor Ignotua. Trans lation of Boethius, (from the library of Sully), by Phillip de Mahun, author of the [Komaunfc de la Rose. Pericles Prince of Tyre by W.

Sir George Grey also exhibits a wonderful Maori idol said to have been brought to this country by the Maoris, also some splendid greenstone and other meres, and other Maori curiosities. The opening ceremonial will take place at eight o'clock precisely.

Accident in Parnell.

An accident occurred on Saturday afternoon in Parnell, which was singularly slight in its effects, considering the nature of the occur rence. Mr William George's son, Rich ml, while driving his father's cart, found it necessary to stimulate the exertions of his steed with an application of whipcord. The horse responded with a sudden spurt which jerked the driver off his seat headforemost on to tho roadway. Fortunately the lad was able to save himself by holding out his handa, but the cart immediately passed over one of his arms above the eibow. Upon being picked up it was found that althongh the lad's face was a good deal scratched, and his arm bruised and swollen, there were no bones broken, and apparently no other injury of a very serious character.

FOOT RACE.

A foot-hack between two local amateurs, Messrs A. Good and F. Gibson, took place this afternoon, for £10, on the Remuera road. Both men have been in training for the last month, and the event caused some stir in sporting circles. The men and their admirers went out by the 2 p.m. train.

Some time ago we mentioned the fact of a parishioner of St Marks Church, Remuera, having given the munificent donation of £300 towards building a Spire for that suburban Church. Plans and specifications were drawn by Mr Herepath, and tenders received. These were not accepted, but subsequently fresh plans were drawn by Messrs Keals and Son. Tenders for which wore received, resulting! as@follows: Cameron, £695; Con stable, £680; Layers, £560; A. R. Watson, £540 ;• Philcox and Bartley, £530; Pollard, £397. The last will not be taken up, so the lowest tender ia that of Messrs Philcox and Bartley, and only £230 above the amount promised by one gentleman. The present design is for a spire of suitable height and substantial, to accom modate the 11 cwt. Church-bell of St Marks, and let its tones be heard to advantage over the whole of the parish.

PROSPECTUS/ The want of proper F.tr.amer Accomodatlon between Auckland, Thames, and Cotomandel has been severe ly felt for so considerable a time that the Projectors of this Company now propose to form a Joint Htcck Company (Limited), for the purpose of havintr a Boat built expressly for passenger and cargo traffic, not only to meet the pressing demand* of trade, but with suoh in creatod speed as to limit tho paisage to and from Auckland to four hours. A contract at once to bo entered into with Mcssts Fraaer «ft Tinne, Auck land, for a First-class Iron Boat, rep'.ete with every modern improvement and accomodation, to be ready by December next, and estimated to cost £11.000. Tho nominal capital of tho Company Is estimated at £12,600, £1,500 being allowed to meet contingencies. The guarantee, as regards the new Boat, to be as follows :—fcpeed to he 12 knots per hour ; and far every knot less than 12 knotß per hour, her builders to forfeit at the rate of £1,000 per knot Should the speed of the Boat exceed 12 knots, the build«rs to recsive a bonus of £1,000 for every hnot over 12 knots por hour : such bonus to be taken up In shares In the new Company. It will thus be observed that the Projeotors mtan to provide the accommodation required so much by the rablic, at the same time to have a Company which will give to Shareholders a handsoma return for the capital invested' The number of European inhabitants in the Hauraki district being over 15,000, with the large settled popnlations at Cororaandel and Thames, and the growing districts of Tairua, Ohinumuri. and Piako, and the Immediate prospect of a large addition, through the development of gold mining and agricul tural inturosts (as well as the large native population, who form a coni.iderablo item in passenger traffic), provide a field for the enterprise of the projected Steam Company second to none in New Zealand.
