ment. IHe then asserts that Mr Wright had fathered the authorship of Mr King's ' "ter, and therefore has a manifest bias to \_ the assertions therein. He relies on _ie published annual statements, which, lie says, are compiled by the auditors from the statements of receipts and-expenditure, as required by the 168 th section of the Muni cipal Corporations Act, 1867. He quotes the auditor's report as to the correctness of the books. Since it was decided that the books be kept by double entry, he has taken steps to put the work of the year ending 31st October, 1876, into proper form for that purpose, and to do this it was necessary to enter in the journal and post therefrom into the ledger the statement of assets and liabilities on October 31st, 1875. A trial balance could not be taken because the posting of journal entries was incom plete. He quotes Inglis in " Chamber's Educational Course " as an authority that n journal may be dispensed with altogether. He combats Mr Wright's statement that a cash book may be entirely dispensed with, as likely to cover the defalcations of an embezzling book-keeper. He says that all the accounts have been closed up and accounted for in the annual statement, that the accounts for 1876 are in a correct state of double entry, and that the instances given by Mr Wright tire wilful misrepresen tations. He concludes : —" In conclusion, I think I have said sufficient to shew that my work has been criticised by my avowed enemy, Avho cavils where there is no occa sion, "and will not see evidence of a desire on my part to comply with your wishes, by one who stoops to misrepresentation and direct falsehood to do me an injury, yet dares not to say that a single annual state ment is wrong."

NELSON, this clay. i Church Synod at Nelson- The General Synod onfl Wednesday evening tlic Bishop of Auckland introduced a bill to amend the Ecclesiastical Officers Statute which was read a first time on the motion of _lr Marshall.

MARRIAGES.

A committee was appointed to consider why marriage^performed in New Zealand by tho Church of England are so few, and to consider whether any or what alterations should be made in the present arrange ments. In 1851 the marraiges by the English Church amounted four-fiffhs of the whole number; in 1566 they decreased to three-fourths ; In 1875 two-thirds. The Dean of Christclmrch introduced a bill to the cfi'ect that no person should bo entitled to vote at any parish meeting unless he shall have signed a declaration of church membership a month previously. That a church warden must be resident in the parish for which lie is appointed. The bill was read first time. Archdeacon Stock introduced a bill to authorise curates to call extra meetings, when asked to do so by one churchwarden and three vestrymen. BILL FOR ALTERATION OF SERVICES. Archdeacon Harper then moved for leave to bring in his bill re alteratcds of services, formulous, .';'.) articles, and the authorised version of the Bible. He said the bill tended solely towards preserving the faith of the church. The Bishop of Dunedin seconded. Archdcdcon Maunsell strongly opposed. He said the preamble grossly misrepresen ted historical facts, and that for laxity of language, and falsehood of assertion, the Bill was a uisgracc to the Synod. Archdeacon Pritt said the Bill was ultra vires. The Bishop of Auckland said the Bill was not contrary to the Constitution,but he thought it bettsr ro omit the preamble. Mr Carleton opposed the Bill. The laity wanted absolute identity with |_ie Church at homo.

The Bishop of Wellington spoke long and ably in support. The Dean of Ciiristchurch would vote against it. "The debate was adjourned till 7.30 p.m. on Thursday.

In the General Synod yesterday, the whole day was occupied with debates on the Formu lary Bill,' or, in reality, on the whole status and constitution of the Anglican Church in New Zealand. Archdeacons Stock and Williams, Revs S. Fancourt and E. Williams, and Messrs Uarnicoal, Oliver, and Brown supported the Bill. Revs B. Buttle, E. A. Lingard, and A. Penny, and Messrs. Adams, Lusk, and Quick, opposed. Tho main arguments in favor of the measure were that the church of New Zealand is an autonomy and independent, with power to make all laws, and that it is desirable to legislate while men's minds are quiet to prevent the possi bility in future of changes being made without due care. The chief arguments against the Bill are that it is ultra vires as altering the constitu tion unnecessarily, as the. changes arc undesir able, and inexpedient, and calculated to unsettle peoples' minds, and endanger the tenor of the church property. The debate will be resumed at half-past seven this evaning by the Rev. Mr Hanmer. TIMARU, this day. RREAK-DOWN OF AN EXCURSION TRAIN. The train from Oamaru, with 300 excursionists, broke down last night at South Waitaki, owing to the fire-plug coming out of the engine, which was in bad order. Assistance was obtained from Oamaru, and the train' reached Tiniarti at 11 o'clock, the passengers having suffered severely. The down train from Tiinaru was also full of excursionists, and was also detained until the south train could pass.

OTAHUHU EDUCATIONAL DIS TRICT.

THE annual meeting of householders for the election of a School Committee for this district, was held in the Otahiihu Public Hall on Wednesday, 31st ult., at 7.30 p.m. About GO householders were present,_ and great interest was taken in the proceedings. Mr Luke, the chairman of the School Com mittee, was voted to the chair. After renting the advertisement convening the meeting, the chairman read the report : —

The annual report shews that the number of scholars on tho roll was 131. with an average attendance of 85. Thirteen of the pupils were taught reading, writing, arithmetic, and object lessons, .5 composition, 58 English grammar, 38 history, and 58 geography. Seven pupils were prepared for the Provincial scholarship examinations, but only three went up for examination, none of whom were successful. The advantages derivable from the Savings Lank, under the management of Miss Ella Gould, assisted by senior pupils, are brought under the notice of parents. The total amount transferred from the School bank to the Govern ment Savings Lank between July 23rd and December 31st, was £3 9s, an average of 3s per week. Greater regularity of attendance is also impressed upon parents, the irregular attend ance being a serious drawback to rmcicnt education, and a cause of great inconvenience to teachers. In compliance with the represen tations of the Commit tee.lots 6, 8, and 10, section S of unoccupied reserves in Otahuhu have been converted into School Reserves by the Government, and an allotment at the corner of tho Great South Road, has been pur chased by the Committee from Mr. Fairburn for £30, as a school site, besides an adjoining lot with building erected thereon for £05, intended as a teacher's residence. The Committee have not yet collected the £75 which the Board ot Education require the district to contribute before giving a grant of £175 towards the cost of erecting a new school-house, and the Com mittee express a hope that the required sum may be quickly forthcoming, in order that the new school house may be built without delay. Great satisfaction is expressed with the head teacher, Mr Wannop, and Miss Ella Gould, the .assistant, with whom the Committee have worked harmoniously. The Committee approve of the system ()£ instruction recommended by the Board'of Education:"—"A system which teaches that reading, writing, arithmetic, grammar, etc are really only the tool, whereby now and in after life the children can educate themselves: a system which teaches chiefly that by object lessons, etc., children can make their .own observations and draw their own inferences ; a system which is founded on the principle of 'telling them a^ little as possible, and inducing them to discover as much as possible.' That is the basis of a true education whose object is to take these children and make them real men and women." The report was unanimously adopted. Nine "entlemcuwere proposed and seconded as the School Committee for 1877. After | the ballot was taken, it was found mat (lie following gentlemen had received the behest number of votes; Gordon, 103: Luke, 57 3 CtUvert. 28;. Bowdcn 18; MariAam, IS. ?U6 chairman declared Messrs Gordon, Luke, Calvert, Bowcteu, ami Markham duly elected members Of the Otahuhu District School Committee for 1877 A vote of thanks to the cuajrioan brought the meeting to a close.—Cukiiks- PONDKXT.

FRITZ.

It is evident that Mr J. K. Emmet, who makes his first appearance at the Theatre Royal to morrow night, is a star of no ordinary magni tude. Born at St. Louis, on the Mississippi, he won, in America, a high reputation as a deline ator of Dutch or German comedy, of which he is the founder. His piece, " Fritz," written for him by Mr W. Gaylor, had an unprecedented success in that country, whore he played it for soveral years all over the union. After winning all tho laurels that his countrymen could bestow on him, Mr Emmet yearned for al European reputation, and for that purpose sought the London managers, rcCusinj. all offers of an engagement olsewhero. At first he failed to get an opening, and he therefore went on the con tinent of Europe, to Germany and Switzerland, studying the manners, language, and costumes of the people he' represented on the stage. He left his address, poste restante, with the London managers, and one day, while at Bonn, he received a dispatch from Mr Chatterton, of the Adclphi Theatre, which said, "lean open you for a month. Come at once." The experiment was a hazardous one for the Lessee. Managers attended rehearsals, and shook their heads ominously ; actors and actresses unused to sink their individuality to "play up." to a star in a "' specialty" piece, grumbled and threw obstacles n the way. In vain Mr Chatterton implored Mr Emmet to " act a little my boy; give a song or a dance to throw a little life into the affair." Tho Yankee star said he would keep his business for the public, and stand or fall by tho result, and if they did not like it he would trot back . with his manuscript to Uncle Sam. There was a great curiosity to see the man who aspired to follow Jefferson, and give an English theatrical audi ence a variety show. Mr Emmet was invited to meet the critics at a supper got up in his honor, but refused. The eventful night came—the curtain rose to a packed house. First, after a gracious welcome, the piece dragged, but at the conclusion of the first song its success was insured. Mr Emmet was "(sailed" time after time, and made a hit. The critics accorded him the highest praise, the " Times " being especially eulogistic. After playing "Fritz" at the Adel phi for several months, Mr Enunct went tofthe provinces, and returned afterwards to the Surrey Theatre, and, while there, received an offer from Mr Lystcr. of Melbourne. There the piece bad been played by the Williamsons for a few nights, and was a hideous failure. The conse quence was that the. public were at first slow to see Mr Emmet's excellencies, but they were forced to own his undoubted powers, and he ran it for 11 weeks to crowded houses. In Sydney, Ballarat, Sandhurst, Dunedin, Christclmrch, and Wellington, he has been equally successful, and it is evident he must be a surprisingly clever performer. The piece, we are fold, abounds with telling situations, songs and dances, and tho get up is extensive. Great preparations are beim. made for the opening night.

ANGLESEA-STREET CONTRACTORS BEWARE!

(To the Editor of the, EvrnixoStar). Sir., —Can yon tell me on what grounds or by whose influence, road contractors are lo be called upon the third time to make themselves ridicu lous . In every department and business in Auckland there, is keen competition, and in none was it more evhibitcd than in yesterday's ten dering for tho two streets. I trust a meeting of contractors will be convened to ascertain why Mr 1 virby did not get. the contract, his deposit, of til 10s, cash, being lodged. No respectable con tractor could tender for that work again—not even to suit the views of any clicpic in the coun cil.—l am, Sir, A CoirritACTOK.

"RUN TO EARTH."

Tins sensational drama was repeated last evening at the Theatre I loyal,but the patronage was not large. The leading character was by Miss Lena, whose rendering of the heroine, Jenny, was received in a'p'casing manner. Mr Maeder impersonated Victor, and Mi- itolloway the Detective. Mr Searle was Sir Oswald, one of those characters in which Mr Searlc generally appears to advantage. Mr Glover was just passable as Black Milson. a character which required little effort to consummate. Miss Jessie Raymond was good, as usual, and Miss Maggie Knight looked .lane Cay land to the life. The scenery of the play was in keeping, and especially creditable to the artist. The orchestra also performed their pari: with commendable ability. This evenin..,Miss Kena and Mi- Maeder will take a joint benellt, when IJouoicaull. "Rose of Sligo" will be represented. Miss Lena as Noreen, and Mr Maeder as Maurice. This drama bus obtained a reputation equal to the earlier productions of this writer, and is full of situations and sentiment eminently Irish. We anticipate a full house on Ibis occasion.

EDUCATION BOARD.—This Day.

A mfuotint; of (be members of the Board of Education was held this afternoon. Present : Messrs 11. H. Lusk (chair) Luckic, Hall. Haul lain, also IVlr Q'Siillivan, Inspector of Schools. After the reading of the minutes and other for mal business, an application was read from Mr Worthington, of City East school, hacked by Mr Chirkson, asking for an increase of salary, and increased accomodation, which was very much neoded. There were now 350 scholars in the .school, and more room had become an absolute necessity. Considerable discussion followed, when Cob Haultain moved, and Mr Luekic se conded That the circumstances represented by Mr Worthington are 'no], sufficiently exceptional to cause the Hoard to depart from the rulealrcady laid down in regard to salaries." (tarried unani mously. A letter was read from the Chairman of the'old committee, of No. I City West, to the effect that efforts to procure gentlemen to act as committee for the school had proved unavailing. Already several gentlemen had been applied to. Mr. Lusk Said it was singular that' so much apathy should exist in regard to No. 1 City West, while at No 2, in the same district, a committee could be found to work harmoniously and well- Ho would suggest No. 2 take No. 1 under their wing. It was finally resolved " That, Mr George M. Main, be requested to act temporally as Commie .oner for City West No. 1, until a committee could be got together. A letter was received from the Chairman of the Stokes' Point School, North Shore, com plaining that the Committee had acted beyond the prescribed time, and consequently the Commissioner had declined to act, also that the local school was now closed, and would remain so until satisfactory arrangements could be made to the satisfaction of the .-cttiers, and complain ing further of the dismissal of Mr. Seaman from his position as teacher of the school, and enclos ing a vote of thanks to Mr Seaman for his labours. It was stated that Mr Seaman had been appointed some time ago, but had refused to come no for examination according to rule, hence he could not be retained. Mr Luckie said the letter was a mere bounce. It was finally resolved to divide tho Stokes Point district into two, when the matter of tho petition would bo considered. The re maining portion of the business consisted in receiving notices of appointments of local com mittees, "the consideration of grants and orhcr matters of minor importance.

DISTRICT COURT.— This Day.

The sum of £100 was realised by the sale, leaving a balance of some £150 still due to plaintiff's.
