wandering marauder. By-and"by perhaps some nice girl in a pull-back and a waterfall will come and smile upon you, and beg your assistance in canvassing for just a few more names to fill up her list, and then, my boy, if you keep, your wits about yon, you can strike up a 'flirtation on the spot, a<f/,*^l for a few shillings.

SUNDAY SCHOOL EXHIBITION.

EVEftY person who lias laboured for the success of the Sunday-school Exhibition, now being held in the drill-shed, must feel perfectly satisfied that his labour has not been in vain. The exhibition is a great success, and in its success we note especially the entire absence of narrow selfishness. No money" or prizes have been oftered as incentives to the activity of the lingers, and the expectations of the heart. The labour has been pursued,and the triumphs achieved with the single view of doing good in the advancement of the Sunday-school cause. The exhibition, yesterday, from the hour of opening to the hour of closing, was comfort ably filled with interested spectators, and the numerous exhibitions of skill and in dustry, presented by the rising generation, were examined with loving curiosity. There were two concerts last evening, in ad dition to the outside band, which somewhat marred the music within, as the big drum was rather too noisy in'its deafening sound ings ; still, the performances at other times were pleasing, and the Victoria band of musicians deserve commendation. The committee have been careful to provide everything calculated to minister to legiti mate taste ; hence they have batteries, telescopes, weighing-machine, pictures, machinery, wheel-barrows, a washing-tub, musical-boxes, a capital library, tea, coffee, lemonade, and sandwiches. The at tendance yesterday was estimated to be somewhere about 1,450 and the receipts of the door amounted to £28. Apart from the child's-productions to which certificates of merit have been affixed, there are numerous exhibits by adults especially noticeable, among these are a number of ornaments made from the ponga, or tree fern, Mr C. Spragg, sen., including a doll's spring chair. These articles attracted attention and were much admired. A beautiful coffee-table, of native mottled kauri, also attracted considerable notice, as the cleverly finished work of a youth, named Fredrick Bloonilield ; also a tubular boiler, by Master Combes, a steam engine by (Stephens "Weston, and a flax-mill, by 11. Davies. Among the pictures on the wall, especially noticeable was a group of photo graphic Views, consisting ofjtwolve, taken by Theophilus Fairs, who modestly states his age, 18, and were taken at sunrise in his early rambles. The pictures represent Auckland public buildingsand spots of local interest. The young photographer evi dently possesses much taste for the beauties of nature, as well as for the "human face divine." Several pencil-sketches by two sisters, the Misses Nicholson, were exceed ingly creditable. It would appear from the number and variety of the exhibits, that the majority of the young people of Auck land have 'exerted themselves in making additions to the Exhibition. Two concerts were performed in the concert department, the first by the children of the Pitt-street Wesleyan' Sunday-school, undo- the con duct of Mr. Ryan, and the second by the choir of St. Paul's church. Both were fully attended. In connection with the Pitt street singers, Miss Nicholson, presided at the pianoforte. The children sang very creditably, and such pieces were introduced as "The' Hardy Norseman," '■' Men of Har lcch," "Friar of orders Grey," " Now pray we for our country," " Love at Home," and the •'National Anthem." The St. Paul's choir, and the Chorister Boys, went through a well-selected programme, Mr. Beale presiding at the pianoforte. The concert opened with the beautiful glee of " Soft Winds," and successively the following were given : the "Keel Row" (chorus) "King Wcncelar" (choristers) "Peggy Dear, or the Sleigh Song " by Mr. Brett, who was recalled, " Brave son of Gaul," and the "Marseillaise" (choruses) Miss Leaf sang "Beautiful Spring," in most effective manner, and which gave much pleasure. Miss Leaf was loudly encored, but Mr. S. Hammond, said the lady would willingly oblige again, but it was hardly fair to expect it, while the big drum was going. The chorus of " Away, tiie morning freshly break-ing," was received in the most grati fying manner, also, the quartette " Oh, who Avill o'er the downs with me," by Mrs Nelson, Miss Leaf, and Messrs Brett and Brook. The " Fisherman's Children," and the National Anthem brought an excellent conceit to its peaceful close.

THE CATTLE SHOW.

MR. H. Mason writes complaining that justice was not done in judging the light horses. He declares that the Treyena's chesnut gelding entered as 6' years is ten years old, and says that Teasdalf's Grey gelding and the other exhibits were not allowed a fair trial. " Retriever" points out an error m the classification of dogs. He observes :—A prize was offered for Irish water spaniels. The two dogs exhibited yesterday were neither of them Irish water spaniels, but what is known to English fanciers as Irish retrievers, which dog is originally supposed to have been obtained by crossing the small Labrador, and the Irish water spaniel. They consequently, in a greater or lesser decree, possess .points common to the spaniel, but of course modified by the cross with the Labrador. For example, the eais of tiie spaniel should lie at least 26 inches across, but the Labrador having small ears lms modified this point in the retriever. Neither of the dogs exhibited had these ears and neither had the top-knot peculiar to the breed, both were too heavy for the spaniel and showed in many points a close connection to the small Labrador. Of the two, Mr McCruire's " Skipper " was far nearer the spaniel than his more successful competitor. This error of classification caused dogs., that were evidently of the same breed, to be shown in different classes. I think there were two brown dogs shown in the retriever class. >I think' you will find the best authorities bear me out. It would be much better in future shows if the English rule -was followed, and a prize offered for black retrievers and one for retrievers of any color, and Leave out the Irish water spaniel, as there does not appear to be any in the province. . The iirsi prize in the grade shorthorns, ■was awarded to Mr. I£. Carter's (Wangarei) Young Wizard.

OPPOSITION COACHES. _ Andrew Young has announced his inten tion of running a line of coaches from Napier to Wellington, in opposition to Mr Peters, who has obtained the overlandmail contract from him. Both have reduced the "fares considerably. Mr Peters will now run through by way of Waimrapa. SALMON OVA. The salmon ova received by the City of Now York have been placed in the Ngaru roro river, in splendid condition. POLITICS. Political matters are dead, few people taking any interest in what is gohi"- on. HAWKES BAY WCJOL. Upwards of 4,000 bales of Hawkcs Bay wool will be shipped at Wellington this year for home. The "Telegraph," on this matter asks : "What is the cause of this? Is it from excessive charges at Napier, or ■ the difference in freight" and insurance t .There is nothing pleasing in the reflection that our chief trade is leaving us, if wo cannot give freight to vessels that discharge here, and we shall very soon have no direct importations. Is it possible that we cannot compete with the merchants of Wellington ? SHIPPING. The Southern Cross leaves Napier for Auckland at 10 a.m. to-morrow. WELLINGTON, this day. PRINTING THE ACTS.

It is currently reported here that in con sequence of Mr. DeLatour's motion being carried by the Dunedin Convention, his Excellency has bolted in the Hincmoa.

MIRROR OF THE THAMES.

TIIE art exhibition was largely patronised last evening by an attentive and appreciative audience. The pictures were graphically explained as they passed, by Mr Kennedy, who, although from the northern side of the Tweed, seems to have studied the beauties and historical associations of the river which links the great seat of learning, where Roger Bacon meditated on the mysteries of science, with the city of commerce where Whittington filled the civic chair. Each picture as it appears awakens in the mind of the intelligent observer, some great event of history, or some golden passage of poetry ; we see the willows near Maidenhead, where Grote the banker, wrote his elaborate history of Greece, ;tnd Eton meadows, where Gray sported when, a boy, three miles south of the village of Stoke Poges, which he immortalized in his undying Elegy in a Country Church-yard ; the elegy which charmed General Wolfe on his dying pillow, and which Daniel Webster desired to hear in his last hours. Hampton Court also, reminds the spectator of AVolsey, and the study men of Henry the VlHth's time, and the fanciful poem of Pope written upon a lady-resident of the palace. Hundreds of similar memories crowd upon the mind in sweet and rapid succession in connection with this excellent panorama., which will be exhibited again this evening. Last evening Mrs Cotterrell sang several good songs, not the least interesting of which wits the cherished household melody of " Sweet Home," in which the lady was specially applauded, as was to be expected, in a song which, though brief, contained an immortal sentiment. Mr. Cotterell varied the entertainment with several comic sketches, which caused much amusement. The music of the orchestra, appropriately selected, added much to the geniality of the occasion. Tin's afternoon a largo number of children passed into the Theatre, and by the clapping of hundreds of small hands evinced genuine child-like pleasure at tiie treat afforded to them by the proprietor.

The public have a right to know whore they can invest money to the best advan tage, and we confidently say at the City Hall Arcade. They do not profess to sell "under co.st price," but we observe their moderate prices in every department secure this establishment a large and steady cash business. The Show Rooms, 166 feet long, contain the greatest variety of Carets in New Zealand. Tapestry, from 2/11 to 4/6 ; ■Brussels, from 5/3 ; also useful and hand some Furniture to suit all kinds of rooms and all classes of people. This department is under the superintendence of Mr. R. Cranwell, whose long experience and ability is a guarantee of first-class work. Country people especially should patronise Holloway and Garlick, as they can buy from them ail they require in Clothing and Furnishing. Extensive stock of Drapery and Millinery Goods, besides Men's and Boys' Clothing. Pay a visit to the City Hall Furniture Arcade.—Holloway and Garlick, pro prietors.

It is always gratifying to be able to refer to the success of any new local industry. The wants of civilized life are made up of an innumei'able variety of trifles, the pro duction of any one of which is capable? of affording employment to a large number of people. Looking at the immense variety of simple articles that are annually imported into Auckland, it has often been a matter of surprise that we continue to send out of the colony considerable sums of money for goods which could be easily manufactured here, and would afford remunerative employment for young and old of both sexes. Messrs Wil son & Co, of the Tikipounga Mill, Wangarei, has shewn a worthy example in this respect by the manufacture of a baking powder, which, after due trial by housewives, bakers, cooks, and other equally competent judges, has been pronounced equal to the^ very best imported article, and superior to much of it, which suiters deteri oration by conveyance over sea. We have seen numerous local testimonials to the superiority of Mr Wilson's manu facture. Mr L. Damale, the " cuisinier" of the Northern Club, has found the powder excellent for culinary purposes, and a good substitute for eggs in the manufacture of pastry of every description. Mr A. Kidd, of the Provincial Hotel, recommends the powder for bread and pastry as the best he has ever used ; while Mr W. H. Pierce, of the Royal Mail, after due trial also speaks highly of the powder for bread and pastry. The manufacture may be obtained from Messrs L. D. Nathan and Co., who arc the Auckland agents, but about the beginning of the new year Wilson & Co will have com pleted their arrangements for opening a branch manufactory in Auckland. Families, bakers, confectioners, and presiding genii of the kitchen ought to encourage local indus try and keep the money at home. The following further testimonials have been received" by Mr Wilson: from Mr Rhoderick McLeod, "Iona"; R. Prohl, " Argyle"; Henry Selfe, Newton ; W. Hamley, Wyn yai'd Arms. —Advt.
