SUNDAY-SCHOOL SOIREE.

A LARGE number of ladies and; -gentlemen attended the" tea-meeting and soiree ofe tno Newton Congregational Sunday-school " last evening. The room was seasonably decorated with ferns and evergreens for the occasion. The tea-tables were'lavishly laden with good t lings, provided by the ladies, viz :—Mesdamcs Spragg: Rowe. Tucker, Ellyett, W addell, Isles. 'D-U-idson, Baker, Hobson, and the Misses Mar brook, Buchanan, Johnson, Potter, Matt.lews, Dickson. Koavc, McLenuaii, K-enshaw, and Lee. .1. C. Firth, Esq., occupied the chair, and introduced the proceedings. The chOmsang Sankev's beautiful hymn, "Hold the Fort, after which-Mr Henry Barton ottered prayer. Tho chairman delivered au excellent speech, ■full.- of sound reasoning and encouraging examples of individual success. The choir hiving sung " Excelsior," Mr S. G. Burns the indefatigable secretary of the school, read the report, and Mr Ellyett, tho balance-sheet, as follows:—

Another year has passed, and the tAvelfth anniversary of the NeAvton Sunday School has arrived. We have again to record another most s iccessful twelve months' work. In presenting their annual report, the officers and teachers feci grateful to Almighty God tor his blessings vouchsafed to them during the year "tliatls past: and for the incitement they have to go forward. We have prayed God to grant us increasing spiritual prosperity, and with ills almighty arm to Avork salvation in our midst. There is a general feeling of harmony through out the school, and promise of a rich harvest m return for the labour. The monthly Sunday afternoon prayer-meeting i. felt to be exerting an influence- for good, and deeper interest is taken in our Wednesday even ing service. -. • . . . The Sunday morning service at eleven o clock is still maintained chiefly by the aid of outside friends of the school, to whom Aye cannot retrain from publicly according our sense of the deep debt of gratitude avo are under to them tor their valuable services. - We have suffered loss by the removal to other spheres, of loved and trusted brethren, among whom Avas our visitor, Mr. Charles Spragg, sen., and Sirs. Charles Spragg. son., late teacher ot the senior class of young women, which, is a scA-ere loss, owing to the difficulty of obtaining a teacher for the senior class of young women. Our Superintendent, Mr. Enoch Wood. is at present conducting the class. Also, Mr. v\ eslcy Spragg, our late Secretary and teacher ot the senior class of young n .1. avlio, having been intimately connected aav. . • • school from its formation, has watched ita progress and aided its efforts for upwards of eleven years. He lias left us, and taken up his abode in New Plymouth. God has spared him thus far, and Aye trust that he may not only live to sec the school year by year growing and prospering:, hut that he may be enabled again to giA-e a helping hand in promoting its interests. It is with great regret avc have to announce hat on account of ill health. Mr. Jbsiah' Martin late teacher of the senior class of yoting aueri acting under medical advice, has had tp retire. Mr. R. F. Webster is at present conducting the olass Avith satisfactory results. Our library contains 105 volumes, to which 50 volumes have been added durin : tho year, and is being successfully wotked by .Mr. ' r. Potter. The periodical department has !... vi very successful. Mr. Edwin Wood report . having issued during the year 2000 periodicals, &c. The Band of Hope in connection with our school, which is held in this room monthly, is Avorking prosperously under tho untiring efforts of Mr. ■Webster, as President, and Mr. Edwin Wood, 'as Secretary. "The officers of the school are :— Mr. Enoch Wood Superintendent •I i „ S. G.Burns .Secretary. ' ' „ John Ellyett Treasurer „ Harry Potter Librarian ~ Edwin Wood Depot Secretary Master T. Hobson Assistant Librarian

As in time past, Aye have the pleasure to record the fact that some of our teachers do not belong to the Congregational body, but whom avc regard Avith esteem, and with Avhom we are working in the utmost harmony and unity. The at tendance throughout the year has been marked with great regularity. We have cause for congratulation in that our numbers keep up, as the following statistics of the school Avill show :-—

Average attendance of teachers:— Morning-Male !>; Female 3; Total, 12. Afternoon—Male 10; Female 7 ; Total, 17. The number of scholars good on the books at the present time: —Girls 118 ? Boys .123. ... Tot al, 21 1. Scholars average attendance :— . Morning—Male. G8; Female, . r>o. Total, 118. Afternoon—Male,-93: Female, 07. ■ Total,. 190. Skewing an increase for the past twelve months of 5 in the morning and 29 in the afternoon. -'The average attendance for last quart dr in the .Mernooir was-200, being the highestjayerage attendance we have attained in any previous I quarter since the formation of the school. ",..jMighe|t. attendance during the year has besn:^ ■'■'*■ —' '''■"' ■ I

Morning, 458; Afternoon, |225, Although the labourer^ are fcAv; yet tve have much reason to be thankful to Almighty God for that amount of spiritual and temporal success granted to us. ' ■ j To enable us more successfully to carry on this great Avork with Avhich Aye are engaged, avc appeal to you this evening for your prayers on our behalf—we ask your help and assistance that Aye may be enabled to win souls for Christ.

In bringing this report to a conclusion, avc feel that it is already sufficiently lengthy. Aye would only say that'to all the kind friends avlio have fur thered our operations by their assistance during the-past year, our warmest thanks are due. There.'is much redson for encouragement in the past, and more for renewed consecration and a deeper intensity of earnest praycr'fuhiess on the part of all our teachers, and may avc go,to labor earnestly, and generously in the good work of bringing_nany youthful souls to Christ and salvation, and He shall have all the .praise.

- The addresses were—'* A Century of Sunday school History" by Mr Battley; "The Impor tance of Sunday-school, Training, and the Responsibilities of Teachers," by Rev. W. Harris ; and " How best to use the past, present, and future, by Mr. Geo. Hemus. A number of intervening hymns and musical selections were given by members of the choir. Mr. Enoch "Wood, who takes much interest in the school, presided at the harmonium with his usual ability. Rev. Mr. Lockwood spoke effectively on " The application of Truths." The meeting closed with votes of thanks, and the benediction by Rev. Walter Hams.

AUCKLAND REGATTA CLUB.

The postponed general meeting lot the above Club wasrMSpa-at the Thames Hotel last night. Owing no d'oiibt to the unfavourable weather there was a poor attendance of members. The preliminaries having been got through, the chairman, Mr T. Niccol, said the first business was the election of a committee to arrange the programme and collect subscriptions for the annual Regatta t<j be held on the 29th January, 1877. Ml' King suggested that the method of raising subscriptions should be varied this year by the various sections ot'the community being appealed to, instead of the committeemen can vassing different parts of the city. 'In thought the Ii ofel-kecpers if applied to would be happy to subscribe a good substantial prize out of the large sums they took from sea-faring men, and in'flie same way the ship builders, owners, and ..chandlers, the merchant \ and wholesale dealers, the retail traders, the Banks' and Insurance Offices, would be found.willing to do something, wh ilea further sum might be bbtahied from private sources. He believed by this system a sum 6f.£350 might be easily raised,' and though that did not come up to what was subscribed by^a'little place like Nelson it was a great deal more than had been railed'here during; the last few years. In .electing {the com mittee, it. would be necessary, should tlve system he proposed be "adopted, to chose persons who had influence with each class. Mb King's remarks were received- with general acquies: cence, and a resolution was passed that the committee when elected, be desired to adopt the scheme proposed. The election of officers and committeemen was then proceeded with in the usual manner, and resulted as follows .-—Patron, His Excellency tbe Governor ; Vice-Patrons, Sir George Grey, X.C.8., Mr Justice Gillies, and His Worship the Mayor; President, the. Chairman of tlm Harbour Board : Vice-Presidents, Thos, Henderson, Esq., and G. P. Pierce, Esq. ; Auditors, Messrs. C. Marshall, and D. Oxlev ; Treasurer, Mr fSEX>acre ; Secretary, Mr T. Hen derson, jun. ; Coiil-mifctecnicn : Captains-"A. McGregor, and Nearing, Messrs. G. Yon der Heyde. B. Tonks. Stodart, T. Benders. 1, jun., A. King, _L_Nicco\, J. McCosh Clark, T. \Vliit son, W.____ZissUng, M. Gallagher. At an early •stage oB^B proceedings, the following letter was reailW the secretary, and was received with much applause :—" New Zealand Insurance Company, Auckland. October 31, 1871. Thomas Henderson, jun., Esq., lion. sec. A.R.
