THEATRE ROYAL.

The re-appearance of the Lingards last evening at the Theatre Royal Avas sufficient to attract a large and respectable audience. The perfor mances were a neAV comedy, " A Life's Dream, and a lively comedietta, entitled, " Cut off Avith a Shilling.'' The comedy Avas written expressly for the Lingards, and has been successfully re presented by them in otherpartsseA-eral hundred times. Mr Lingard's jwitty sayings, and Miss Dunning's clever acting served the comedy materially, otherwise it Avould haA-e been tame. The acting of Mr Holloway as the Hon. Frederick Danby, was highly commendable, and formed a striking feature. We must not omit to notice Miss Lawrence as Lady Mabel, the neice of Madame Dv Platte (Mrs Collier), Avhicb attracted much applause. Mr Lmgard, as Scarlet Page, Avas comic and irresistible, especi ally in the last act, Avhere the Avife plays a trick upon her husband by mourning his death and hoping to make a second match, while he retaliates by pretending to take poison. In fact the last act Avas the best of the three. Mr Austin Power, as old John Babybuckof 92, Avas a clever representation throughout. Mr Rede was the naval officer, but Avith too frequent a use of the "dom it" to bo agreeable, which, AVithoiit marring the comedy, might have been omitted. The object of the comedy is «a protest against the habit of drunkenness. The part or. Mr Lawrence as Charles, was slight, but success fully sustained. The Avholc concluded with " Cut off with a Shilling," by Miss Dunning, and Messrs. Lawrence and Rede. The programme will be repeated this evening, and avjll be the last appearance of these famous artists in Auckland.

LORNE-STREET HALL. The Thornton family and their supporters opened this hall last evening as the Bijou Theatre, in the presence of a good audience, under the patronage of the Oddfellows. lho programme was calculated to please a A-ariety of tastes, including comedy, ballad, and bur lesque. Miss Amy Thornton appeared success fully in every scene, and displayed much versali lity of talent. Mrs Cottingham sang one of ncr admired ballads, Mr Winchomb gave a bone solo, and Messrs. Thornton, Davey, and Glair, aided the success of the venture. The burlesque of the " Village Belle " was satisfactory-

PONSONBY.

A MEETING of the ratepayers of Ponsonby was held in the Ponsonby Hall last evening. Mr. J. A. Tole, M.H.R. in the chair, to consider the question of bringing the district under the operation of the Counties Act, or constituting a Borough. The chairman referred to his oppo sition in Parliament to the new measures, which he said were so contradictory as to be unintelli gible. He touched on the leading features of some of the Acts. Ponsonby was included m the Newton riding, which includes Arch Hill, and lias the right of returning two members to the County Council. Ho claimed for Ponsonby a preponderance in the scale of inhabitants, houses, and ratepayers as composed with the other districts. The chief objects to be sought were, cheapness of administration, immunity for excessive tolation, and fair distribution ot the funds There were four courses, he thought, open io be taken,-!. The county system in its entiretv-an expensive one. 2. Forming them selves into a borough, a cumbrous system which would abolish the Highway Board. 3. Annexation to the city of Auckland, a preferable course to ell her o> the other two; and i. Making the County Council simply a distributing body with only onepuidofflccr.tuc clerk. He was in favour of the limited Council, and his opinion was shared by At" Swanson. This was the course that the Highway Board had agreed to recommend. It v-5 now for the district to name two represen tatives. Ho regarded the present action as premature ThS people of Ponsonby were Stated by the proceedings of neighbouring Boards but they would not be maintaining the chaSer which Ponsonby liad always he Id f tbev did not give free expression to then- Sons Mr Boardman complimented the chair nuui on his lucid explanation. He believed that ff they went into the county salaries and main tenance of roads would more than absorb the subsidies from the Government. JheJanets raissd in Ponsonby might be diverted to oulbldo districts. The speaker moved: lhat in the opinion of this meeting, only those gentlemen should be nominated to represent this riding in tho County Council who would previously state that they would, if elected, vote against onnging the permissive clauses of the Counties Acts into operation until they had conferred with the ratepayers in public meeting."—Mr Bacon sec onded the motion. Mr Morton advocated the County syuteaj as he.bQUev^O, that P°n§9w»

Parnell, Remuera, and Epsom would have a majority in the County Council, and would vir tnally control it. Mr Field also spoke on the question of the subsidy. Mr R. H. Stevenson com pared a subsidy to the jam in which the powder of taxation was wrapped, and he advised the meeting to take as much of the jam as possible without taking much of the powder. Mr Mase tield counselled delay and deliberation. What the North required was Separation. The present system was not so good as Provincialism. Mr Boardman criticised the assurance of Mr Ste venson in attempting to teach everybody as to the provisions of the Act. If anybody was likely to understand the Act it was the chair man who had been in his place in Parliament when its provisions were discussed. The chair man, before putting the motion took occasion also to criticise Mr Stevenson's remarks, to the great amusement of the audience, lhe motion was put and carried. Mr. Boardman moved " That a committee, con sisting of Messrs. J. A. Tole, T. Mascfleld, J. T. Upton, J. Stodhart, G. W. Jones, A. Black, W. Thorne, and the mover, be appointed to obtain information, and report upon the relative ad vantages of joining and working the Counties Act, having Ponsonby a borough, or uniting the whole or part of the district with the city of Auckland.' Mr. Edmundson seconded the motion, which was carried, and the usual vote of thanks having been passed to the Chairman, the meeting separated.

TONGAN NEWS.

News from Tonga by the Clan Alpine is of an encouraging character. The King, who was ill according to last advices, was much better. Trade had improved, and copra is plentiful. The Germans have managed to get the small island commanding Vavau harbour ceded to them as a coaling station, and H.I.M. ship Hertha is employing her sailors in clearing it. The public health is not so good.

"PSALMODY."

Mk. Josepit Paxton* gave his promised lecture on "Psalmody" last evening in the Choral Hall, with musical illustrations. Mr. J. M. Clark occupied the chair, and introduced the proceed ings. A series of musical selections were efficiently given by St. Andrew's choir, under the leadership of Mr. W. Culpan. Mr. Paxton, in a very abie discourse, traced the history of music and song, from the earliest period down to the presenl,and shewed from Holy Writ, that it was always the custom with th'c people to express their gratitude and thanksgivings in song, as he shewed by numerous examples, from the song of Moses to the hymn sanctioned by our Lord, which was sung by the disciples on the Mount of Olives. Mr. Paxton paid a pleasant compliment to the members of St. Andrew's choir for their beautiful singing. He told of the efficiency of children in Now South Wales, in the art of singing, and related several anecdotes from his own observation. He advocated more music in presbyterian churches, as it was fre quently distressing in hot climates to listen to long, old fashioned sermons. The lecturo throughout was most interesting, and closed with a beautiful hymn sung by Mr. Paxton, being a boy's " Hymn to the spirit of his mother in the better world." A vote of thanks on the motion of Rev. D. Bruce, seconded by Rev. Mr. Root, was unanimously accorded to the talented lecturer and the choir.

FANCY BAZAAR.

A fancy bazaar in aid of the fund for building the proposed new Anglican Church in Union-street, was opened to-day at the Lorne-strcct Hall. The public were admitted at half-past 2 o'clock, but till the morning the hall presented a busy aspect, owing to the number of ladies and gen tlemen who were at work putting up the stalls, and arranging the articles. At 2 o'clock, when our reporter looked in, all Avas ready, and the hall presented a very pretty appearance. The fancy stalls wore ranged in a row down the south side of the hall. There was no distinction made in the goods sold at any particular stall except in one instance where the stall Avas kept exclusively for children's clothing1, The ladies who presided at these stalls after the opening wereMcsciamcsHassard, Cadman, Jones, Misses Eamcs, Rickcrs, and Halstead. A large num ber of ladies in addition to these are to be thanked for services and gifts granted freely in the good cause. There arc of course the usual number of cushions, antimacassers, coscys, etc., etc., but there arc also several features which were deserving of notice. One of these was a box of ferns presented by Colonel Haultain, and containing 120 varieties of ferns. Another was the book stall, Avhich has been furnished princi pally by Messrs. Upton and Co. The gallaxy of dolls in the centre is avcll worth inspection. Mr. Webb has constituted a gigantic lucky bag, in which one of the principal prizes is a huge, kite, Avhich forms a prominent object over I lie stalls. In the evening, at 7 o'clock, a promenade concert is to be held at the hall, and Mrs. Mitel Kill and other good public performers will sing. The fancy bazaar will be re-opened to-morrow at 2 o'clock, and Avill last two days. At 3 o'clock to-day there Avas a good sprinkling of visitors present. — _

EDEN TERRACE.

Ttte ratepayers of the Mount Eden District met last evening in the Eden Vino Hotel, to consider the Borough and Counties Bill, Mr. W. J. Suiter in the chair. Mr. James Reid thought it best to keep on good terms with the Road Board. He proposed " That a committee be appointed, to consist of the present members of the Highway Board, Messrs Ewington, Watson, and the mover, to take the whole matter into considera tion, and to consult together and do Avhatevcr trurv think Avill be best for the good of the dis trict." Mr. Smith seconded. After considerable discussion, in Avhich Mr. Atkin and other gentle men took part, Mr. Reid's motion, with the words added, "and bring up a report at a future meeting." was then put to the meeting and carried unanimously. At the suggestion of Mr. Suiter, Mr. Atkins name was added to the commit tee. The usual A'Ote of thanks closed the meeting.

SPRING VILLA SEMINARY, PONSONBY.

The friends and parents of Mr and Mrs Addcy s pupils assembled last evening in the large lecture-room of the school-house, to witness the distribution of prizes to the successful pupils m connection with the recent examinations, lhe place Avas beautifully decorated for the occasion with evergreen, ferns, and flowers, and gay bunting. The room was also hung with suitable mottoes, such as "truth," "perseverance," "in dustry " and " honesty is the best policy. The pupils had been labouring hard for some time past in making fancy work. Among the choice things, Aye noticed some beautifully worked cushions, arm-chair, wool work, slippers, work boxes, plain and fancy needlework, beadwork, and rich sofa covers, antimacassers, and music stool; also unique pencil and Avatcrcolor draw ings. The room was literally crowded by the friends and parents of the children. The Rev. E. N. Brcc presented the prizes. Before doing so,he said it was an unspeakable pleasure to have the honour to preside on such an occasion. He was glad to sec such a large gathering so interested in the work of the school. He had directly and indirectly been connected Avith Mr and Mrs Addey's educational establishment since it began, and he could bear his testimony to the tact, zeal, and thorough efficiency ot the conductors. The school was making rapid progress. The disciplinary and religious tuition Avas AVell qualified to lay a proper basis for the growth of excellent characteristics in alter life. Mr and Mrs Addcy possessed the qualifica tions to ensure a complete success in the training of youth. The pupils he Avould urge to bo ever cheerful under the apparent hard discipline they must be subjected to, and he enforced readiness of mind in every boy, to render a perfect and willing obedience avlucli would lay a «x>od foundation for the formation of charac ter He Avas glad to know that in this school the religious education of the pupils Avas not, passed over.

Brown gave an account of the schools he had seen in the South Sea Islands, and gave some pleasing anecdotes of his travels among those islands. The party broke up before ten o'clock. There Avas great excitement amongst the children during the evening. Tlie proceed ings were very interesting.
