over here are all the questions which were " answered': (save the mark !) by the " medium " :—A voice asked : Were you i" a fiance when you were delivering the lectuw? —Walker: That i< what I believe. Why then did you stop when we made a no i se ?_Walker : I suppose the spirits would not go on when you were knocking. (Oh, oh, and laughter.)_ . Will you go oil'again into a trance ? Li Ins question was evidently thought to be a " poser," which would definitely decide the matter, and a round of cheers greeted it.] Walker : That depends on what you want, [Cries of "Give us a straight answer. ] —We want to test tl ething, and sec whether you are really in a trance or not.

Walker : Do you want another lecture ? (No, no, and laughter.)—No ; we want you to leo into a iive minutes' trance.

[ Here the uproar again commenced. One man yelled out, " .See what the " Evening Post" says about you," while another, in accents of tenderness, pro nounced the fact that he had a line large pin in his possession.] Can you feel anything when you are in a trance ?

Walker —I don't know about that. (Roars of laughter, and " lot us try," &:c.) A voice—What is your opinion about marriage ? Walker—About what ?

About marriage, Is there marriage in heaven ?

Walker—l believe there is.

Then how do you explain the statement in the Bible that "There shall be no^ mar riage there ; nor giving in marriage V" Walker—Christ is responsible for that; I am not. [This was greeted with groans, and one man aptly exclaimed, " a certain individual with whom doubtless, you are acquainted, is said to quote Scripture for his own ends. You quote it much in the same way, and you throw over half the Bible. '] _ Do you believe in the personality of the Saviour ?

Walker : I have never seen him.

[For some time no distinct question could be heard above the uproar, but ai. last a man was heard asking whether the spirit-land was in Taranaki, as he wished to get there.] Where did you gee your geological know ledge from? Last night you talked learnedly about tertiary, the mastodon, and other things; who is your authority? Walker : I don't find them in any books.

But yon profess to know all about the end of the world, and yet never touched the theory of denudation. Walker: Who? Oh; its not a " who," its a " which,"' (loud laughter.) [Similar questions followed, serving only to shew the! ignorance of the " medium;" and finding himself getting the worst of it, he in geniously explained his mistakes by saying that in his lectures it was the knowledge of the spirits, speaking through his tongue, that was given. The gentleman who was questioning' thereupon proposed that he should go into a trance, and in that state answer the questions, but Walker quietly ignored the proposal.]

Can you go into a trance when you wish ? ■Walker : No ; that depends upon the spirits,

Then how do you advertise to go into a trance at eight o'clock ? A voice : Oh, he does it by contract (laughter).

What was the meaning of the moaning of the piano before you commenced i Does it attract the attention of the'spirits? Walker; Yes; no; that is, I do not know (laughter). Why did you lift your hand so (imitating the action), and grasp at nothing when you com menced? Were you shaking hands with the spirits ? A Voice: Don't tell, old'feller; he's going.to travel on the same lay (loud laughter.)

(At this period of the meeting it seemed likely that Walker's body would suiter on behalf of his " spirits," for the crowd (it was no longer an audience), was swaying backwards and for ward, gradually getting nearer the stage. A rough-looking man who had throughout shown great power of lungs, and an intense appreci ation of the row, proposed a game of "Yankee grab"' for the money at the door, and for a minute it appeared as if the audience were inclined to follow his suggestion. Walkei stood his ground manfully, simply remarking, "lam at your mercy, gentlemen. I should have thought that no one could have grumbled at paying a shilling for such a lecture as I have given you, (Oh. oh), but that, man can have his money back. Remember, I am giving all this extra." This specimen of cool impudence had the desired effect, and the man who had been so anxious for ihe amusing little American game thought they ought to •' wind up «'ith a song, and let the poor devil go." In the end several gentlemen advanced near to the stage, and the proceedings became a little more orderly. Walker fenced a number of chaffing questions, and then announced his intention of answering no more, on the ground cf fatigue. This pro duced a renewal of the uproar, lasting for some time.) One of the gentlemen near the stage then said —I and another gentleman will give you a guinea each if you will now go off into a trance and submit to any fair test. You may select any two persona you like, and then we may have some chance of deciding whether you are a humbug or not. (Loud applause). Walker—X you can find half-a-dozen men who really know what a trance is—men who have investigated such cases—l will then agree to your proposal. Upon this the proposer turned round to the audience and exclaimed, "Are you satisfied now/ and again the uproar re-commenced. Ybove the din some one could bo heard re peatedly asking whether a man had any feeling when in a state oc trance. To this Walker re plied "I believe not," at which a dozen down right yells of "Let us stick a pin into you, then,' were heard, and as many pins were flourished in the air by their delighted possessors. "Walker retreated a step or two, but quickly recovered his sc-If possession, and assuming a piteous tone oi: injured innocence, announced that he was only 19 years of age, and could produce docu ments to prove that-feet, as well as tfte education he had received, and another paper to prove that he had worked almost all his Hie upon a r'arm. Some one hereupon said ho had seen a book entitled "The Harmonic Qt Life," in which the author told precisely the same tale oc him self; but Walker denied all knowledge ot^tho bom Afterapan.sc. Walker r-esnmeri— aow, 111 tell you what I'll do. If any gentleman likes to submit to a phrenological exainination, I will be blindfolded, and when in a state of trance will read his character.' (Applause). Iho gentleman who had put the questions relative to geology at once sprung upon the stage, but Walker, on some pretence or other, which we did not catch, refused to proceed with the examination then. A warm alter cation, the nature of which was lost m the continual noise, then followed. It seemed to be of a very interring nature, necessitating \V alKer "oing close to the candidate for phrenogical honours, aud putting his face in close proximity to that of the latter, in the same loving way as that in which street urchins are sometimes seen preparatory to a fight. The gentleman after wards retired, when Walker, in a furious rage, exclaimed, " You ugly and half starved animal, you would not be satisfied with anything less than a yard of soap." As might be expected a sudden hush came over the crowd, and the gentleman who had been insulted shewed such active intentions of making his way back to the sta<*e, that Walker .immediately apologised, saying he merely meant that the gentleman s thirst for knowledge was so intense that no ordinary scientist could answer him. Ihe li<-hts were then turned half out, and this caused a sudden stampede to the doors, but on finding that the gas did not. go any lower, the majority returned, and the uproar was renewed. Walker, however, had taken advantage Oi tne incident to leave the stage. A blue-i acket from the Sappho, who seemed to know a little about "spirits," iudging from his appearance, then stepped on the stage, and commenced a song m such an execrable roice and doleful tune, that we precipitately retired. Just as we went out the ''as was again lowered, and in five minutes silence reigned in the place of anarchy.

THE UNEMPLOYED.

(To the Editor of the STAR.)

SIE —I am sure the labouring class are deeply indebted and grateful to you for the invaluable aid you are constantly rendering its by your ever ready pen and journal in our just cause, and the • Herald (which is the working man s paper) by its article of Saturday places the matter before us in a true light. It is to be hoped we won't forget it. The " Herald ' takes exception to the procuring of signatures in the streets. Where else, I should like to know, couil unemployed labourers be more readiJy found, for those in em])loy could not i»j walking the streets; but, perhaps you:- contemporary would have us carry a'j l\ round with us, so that every man, before h: signed that petition, could have sworn that he was really in indigent circumstances, aid able and willing to work. And iiOtf^vith regard to the able bodied men b-iv glad to hear that stone breaking is oferea1 them : sir, we know from experience tint those who are not accus tomed to it coild not (at any rate, for some time) earn suiicient to provide for their families. Why, sir, it's just the same as it would be to tei a mason or bricklayer that lie could g' to work as a tailor, and expect him to ez,rn enough to support his family by it. And in your i.---.[o »E Saturday - see one of Auckland's so-called " contractors" has had the andaoity and I impudence, knowing the

present necessities of the labouring men, to endeavour to trade upon our very distress by offering us the munificent remuneration of 5s per "day. Surely that will satisfy the Mayor and Council, and also the '-Herald," as to the lack of employment, and it ought to enforce the Mayor to follow more closely the lead of His Worship of Duncdin, in demanding works to be opened by the General Government. Surely we have as much a claim oil them as our brethren down South, and not only we, the labourers, but our whole community would be benefitted by it. As to the 5s per day advertisement, it ought to force the men to unite them selves together and form a labour league, by which we could compel such contractors as he to give us an average day's pay, as we well know what kind of a day's work he requires. Should you dee,m the above, or part of it, worthy of insertion in your valuable journal," you will oblige—A Labourer.

THE UNEMPLOYED AND ANGLESEA CONTRACT.

(To the Editor of the STAR.) gI E i have to make an explanation regarding the result of my advertisement in your Saturday's issue, offering employment for 30 pick and shovel men at 5s per day, and 16 drays at 17s per day for work in Anglesea-street. Not a single dray was offered me this morning, and seeing no drays on the ground, 15 men came forward at 5.30 a.m., and offered to do 5s worth of work for me only per day, as they said, in terms with my advertisement. I was com pelled to refuse their services ou both grounds ; if I had no carts, the labourers were useless, and the men's otter was hardly in accordance with the starving condition in which they are reported to be. If all these men are seeking employment as stated, it appears strange to me that there is so much work for teams of horses at present that none are available. The fact ie, the cry of want of employment does not come from pick and shovel men, but from a number of people who, while being useless for the work, bring forth these wails, at the same time praying that there is no work at hand, as they cannot do it. My offer still stands good. ' I have employment far both drays" and men, if both are available. Hopiug to be more successful to-iaorrow, —lam sir, ZACHAKIAH Vaee, Contractor.

[If our correspondent had 5s worth o£ work offered him for live shillings, what more did he want ? Did he expect 10s worth ? The plea that no drays could be obtained is too "thin." Before Mr Vare accepts lai'ge city contracts he should have the command of drays ; or if he lias not, should offer such a price as will secure them. To a dvertiso a lower rate of wages than is current, and when men, forced by neces sity, apply, to tell them that the work cannot be gone on with for want of drays, looks too much like humbug.—Ed. E.S.]

WAIOTAHI GOLDMINING CO.

The annual meeting of the Waiotahi Gold mining Company was held at Mr White's office, Shortland-street, this afternoon. Mr C. J. Stone took the chair, and read the report and balance sheet. The profit and loss account showed on the Dr. side : Balance, 30tli June, 1876, £1296 4s 7d ; mine expenditure, £2026 Is Od ; battery expenses, £6SB 16s Gd. Total, £4011 2s lOd. Cr. :By gold, 9300zs lOdwts 12grs from G35 tons quartz, £2580 6s lOd ; crushing from other mines and winding for do., £154 12s 6d ; transferred to machinery

account, £2-10 0s 6d ; do. to mine account, £1035 14s. Total, £4011 2s lOd. JThe sum transferred as above, namely, £1276 3s Gd 3 represents the balance to credit. The Chairman called attention to the favourable nature of the report. Their overdraft had been paid olr', new winding machinery had been erected, and the work ins had left a balance in hand.

The Directors considered the prospects Of the mine good, a»tl woiked forward to a successful year. The report and balance-sheet were adored.

This being all the business, the meeting separated.

Messrs G. Yonder Heyde and J. L, Wilson were re-elected directors, and 11. M, Gatland re-elected auditor.

THE MASQUERADE OF DEATH.

Ax attempt was made on Saturday evening, by thu lingering Auckland actors, to revive the legitimate drama iv Auckland. Considering the means at hand the representation was satis factory in the Albert Hall. The drama of the evening bore the somewhat sensational title of the "-Masquerade of Death," and was intended to picture the evils of gambling. The piece was in three acts, of simple construction, and asso ciated with a little mystery, in which Mr HoyJe (Sir Charles). Mr Searle (Captain Dartford), Mr H. Power (Titmouse), Miss Jessie Raymond (Lady Andry and Emily), and Mrs Searle (Gimo). played conspicuous parts. The play shewed a ca-*e of gross deception and poisoning by mistake, which led to an awful and deadly combat between Sir Charles and the Captain. Subsequently a change came over the scene, and Mr Power sang a capital comic sor.g, which moved the audience from grave to gay, aud caused roars of laughter. The little drama, by no means uniu'. cresting, was followed by the Hibernian burlesque of "Murphy, the Moon shee. and an Indian Princess," in which Paddy sings a song, with dance accompaniment. Some of the passages in the previous drama, recited by Miss Raymond and Mr Hoyle, were marked with poetic buauty, and above the average of such things. We understand that there will be a ssrios of dramatic entertainments in Albert Hall, should the players be sufficiently supported by the public. The members of the Hibernian Band aided the interest of the performance by a number of their choice musical pieces. The Stage of the hall appears top limited for a minor theatre, and docs not admit of that change of scenery which is so necessary to give true effect to dramatic represention.

FOOTBALL.

I STROLLED up to the Metropolitan ground on Saturday, and found our footballers hard at it, the match being White Jerseys against Striped, which was a good arrangement, as players were not continually tackling- their own side. Scrimmages were much better formed than usual, the forwards on both sides kept their legs, and when the scrim mage became broken, several good pieces of dribbling were dene. Still there is room for improvement in the way of " locking," in the scrimmages, so that one man who may be stronger than the rest does not force his way through before the others, and leave' the ball behind ; then again, if he brings the ball through he has no olio to support him. The great object of forward players is to keep the ball "in" the scrimmage until they have forced their opponents off their balance by unity of strength. Then take the ball through with a rush, but not kick it too far in front or the half-backs will get it, and all the for ward work is clone for nothing. And here let me give a bit of advice. While in a scrimmage never lose sight of the ball, but do not put your head clown, as it tends to loosen the s'crimmage;ifyou get off"side geton side as soon as possible. A captain should place his men so that they always know whether to play left or right of a scrimmage ; also, whether centre or on the outside. In fact, in many clubs, forwards go into a scrimmage always in the same place, num bering from the' centre man, who puts the ball down. I noticed one or two forwards doing the worK of the half-backs in the striped team. This is a mistake, as it spoils the" half-backs' game. One of the white jersey half-backs played too close to the scrimmage, often over-running the ball in his eagerness. I also noticed that fending off with the open hand, instead of the arm, was had recourse to ; but if players would tackle the waist, instead of the neck, our tackling would be more sure. But to return to our match : The Stripes were playing fifteen to eleven, aud though a lighter"" team, they often got through a scrimmage b> their quickness ; but War brick, whose'back play was very go^d, gene rally averted the danger. The features of the alternoon were the two runs by Ring, which were a treat to witness, both be:.ug converted into goal-. K>rr, na usual, kick,.,! well. It * ueccllcPS to mention the whole team, as the Selection Committee, or rather most

of them, were on the ground, and no doubt were taking notes of what each man did. No side was called, after a most enjoyable game, and I think if our men only keep up their practice we shall have a better team than we had against Christchurch ; but if they do not practice nothing is more likely than the reverse, as one or two men from other parts in the province, who are spoken of, might not be able to play, or might not be good enough, and then, if the team has to be made up of men out of practice and condition, we shall instead of a victory chronicle a defeat.—DßOP-KICK.

BOAT ACCIDENT AT HOKIANGA.

(From a correspondent.) About 3 o'clock on Saturday afternoon, a boat containing two natives and Mr Andrews, of the firm of Messrs Andrews and Varborough, was capsized in a squall, close to the Heads. Cap tain Worsp had been in the boat a short time previously, but as the weather was very gusty, he told the natives the boat was not safe, and made them put him ashore. It was about 20 minutes after this that the accident occurred. When the craft upset, the occupants managed to get on to the bottom, where they floated in a very uncomfortable position. The brigantine Odiilisk was lying at anchor some distance oil, and the captain, seeing the accident, sent oil one of his bouts, manned by some men belonging to the schooner Mora. They reached the en dangered party and took them off, and then lowed the boat to the bank, and ran her up on the beach. The captain of the Odalisk, in pay ment for the service rendered, demanded £o from Mr Andrews, which that gentleman at once paid.
