view. All the parts he has undertaken have not only'been within his grasp, but have been carefully and-ntistically acted. When he returns to Lor»lon, he will pro bably develop into one of the best jeune premieres on the Metropolitan stage. TO-NIGHT,

Mr Dillon and Miss Ponder open in "Hamlet." Mr W. C. Dillon is an experienced artist in legitimate roles, and has met with a good deal of praise down South. His reading of "Hamlet" and other parts has called forth considerable criticism, but no one denies _ that he possesses conspicuous ability. Miss Pender has been universally praised everywhere. Her rendering of parts such as Ophelia and Desdemona is said to be singularly graceful and tender. To-night the piece chosen for representation is " Hamlet." Mr Dillon, of course, plays the Danish Prince and Miss Pender Desdemona. The other parts are remarkably strongly caste.

POPULAR SCIENCE LECTURES.

Ma, Jobiah Marti* delivered the third of his course of popular science lectures on Saturday evening in the Young Man's Rooms. Considering the state of the weather the lecture was largely attended. The Orpheus Glee singers were present, and rendered a. gleo and musical selec tions of a pleasing character. The lecture was on the "Sense of Hearing," illustrated by diagrams of the outer mid inner formation of this fart of the head. The lecturer treated, in his open ing remarks, of the perception of musical and oth« Bounds, with the opposite effects of pleasurable and painful sensations. He spoke of acoustics, or the science of sound, showing the minute agencies formed by Providence for catching the sweet sounda of nature or instru mental music, and carrying; the-n through the ear to the brain, of which Newton gave the first mathematical solution, and which Sir John Herachel explained i» his " Treatise on Sound." The lecturer shower! that, tho only essential part of hearing is a norve, lodged at a sufficient depth to bo secure from external injury, and sufficiently sensitive to bo affected by the delicate impulses of atmospheric undulations. He proceeded to prove that animals, birds, and caitilaginous fishes nosscs? a similar sense of hearing, although the perosptive organs may c differently constructed to answer the purposes of hearing and safety. The three fold division of the internal, middle, and ex ternal ear received dvie attention: (1) the acoustic nervo, vestibule, acd labyrinth ; {2) the middle ear, or cavity of the tympanum, with its structure and minute properties; and (3) the external ear, the coucha, consisting of several pieces of cartilage, expanding, more or less, in a form resembling an ear-trumpet in different animals, but in man serving the purpose of collecting! the§ sonorous vibrations and directing them into the mentua externua. The numerous bonog, for the transmission of vibrations to the internal ear, and to permit the membrana tympani to bo drawn into a conical shape, so as to tighten it, and adopt it, either to resist unpleasant sounds, or favour those of a genial np-turo. All the particles and muscleg, under tho direction of the mind, so Interesting to tha psychologist.were Illustrated and explained. The lecturer closed with romarks on the importance of educating the our for tho reception and enioyreent of the best music, which tends so much to the pleasures of home. The lecture was excellent In its details, but several teachers de3ired us to give a hint, that they might be shortened with equal advantage, as many of them have a long walk to their distant homes.

"STRAINING AT A GNAT AND SWALLOWING A CAMEL."

(To the Editor of the Stak.) Sir, —It was my hap to see an instance of violent straiuitig by the members of a Highway Board. A deposit of £5 by a poor contractor was the gnat to be swallowed, but a majority pronounced vehemently, they could not, would not, and so did not, break the contract. The rjoor man lost his £5; but mark the sequel. Two of that Highway „ Board are now Councillors. It is my' hap again to see a like tran saction take place (saving the violent straining)—a monied substantial con tractor is employed by the Council, the said contractor has not fulfilled his con tract, he has taken eight weeks overtime to the loss of about £12 per week to the Borough. Three weeks only is charged as a penalty against him, namely, £30, which said £30 camel was swallowed with the greatest gusto, and not the least wincing over it.

P.S.—I had almost forgot that the two Highway Board members had so well greased the £30 camel with an act of grace that it was gulp'd easily by a majority.—l am, &c, J. B. Strange.

WHY THE RAILWAY SHOULD RUN IN LAND.

(To the "Editor of the Stab ) Sm,—l see by the telegram from your special at Wellington that the member for Waitemata is agitating the mnoti vexed question re inland v. coastal line of railway to Kaipara, ana I feel satisfied that any person in a business point of view, would echo his sentiments, and that they are thoroughly sound and calculated to be con ducive to the general welfare of the residents in the North Island if the inland route is decided upon. In connection with the above line there have been many arguments for and against, but in this I would call your attention to the following argument in favour of the inland line, and any one must acknowledge that it has a little weight at least, viz., grist to the mill, which in all business ventures is Beriously considered (will it pay). V/hat I would apeak of is con nected with shipbuilding, and for the last three 01 fonr years our builders in Auckland nave been considerably inconvenienced, and at times being quite unable to obtain ship timbers to carry on their work, (why?), because the timber suitable for- them has been cut out, and it ia difficult for them to «et the proper Umber to carry on with their building. It is considered (by the shipbuilders) that unless some new field is onened to produce the pohutakawa, the shipbuilding in Auckland will come to a stand still, or what is at bad to be unable to compete with the other colonies by reason of the very hi-h Co3t ot the framing for vessels. As Auckland has been hitherto famous for building vessels it i 3 very hard now that she nhonld lose tin prestige she has because she cannot get timber, and yet plenty at her door, viz in the Waikato Ranges. We learn from your correspondent at Wellington that the coastal line was decided upon by Messrs Lawson and Conyers, who did not make a personal inspection, but occepted the opinion emanating from the Survey office that that wus the best line. It is plain to any business man that it would be mo-e payable if taken through the Waitakerei or ml md |hno even though it cost more to do 10, because it would get work to do, and so help to pay for the construction ana leave a profit. No one can deny that the Waitakerei Ranges have abundance of timber of all sorts and very large quantities of limber suitable for shipbuilding purposes, and if the inland line was constructed we should have a largf supply of all kinds of timber and firewood laid down in Auckland at a very great deal less cost than is paid for tbe same now. I hope Mr J. a. Macfarlane may succeed in his endeavours to ietthe railway through a district that will leave I profit, and also open up a new timber country and make the city of Auckland (more.flourish ing in consequence of a new trade which has bo long laid dormant on account of tbe rugged country. Now that a railway is to go through Waitakerei I do not see why xt should go along side the sea coast and carry nothing because it is cheaper to make a line that way, and pass by a timber district where the railway would have more work that it could manage after it had been opened for a short time.-I am, sir, one Interested in Shipping-

DROWNING OF CAPTAIN BAILEY.

{BY STAR SPECIAL WIRE.)

(From Our Own Correspondent.)

WELLINGTON, this day. Captain Bailey, of the schooner Enter prise was washed overboard and drowned while crossing the Strait on Saturday. Mr Bailey was mate of the ship Queen Bee recently wrecked at Cape VaKweO. and formerly commanded the ship Wild JJuclc, from London to Auckland and other ports of New Zealand. This was the first voyage since the wreck of the Queen Bee. All the ships in port are flying flags half-mast high in token of respect. ■ . , , Captain Johnson's opinion is that Mr Bailey's drowning was purely accidental, Bailey being a heavy man and unused to such small vessels witk low bulwarks as the Enterprise. The sea was rolling heavily, and Capt Johnson thinks that Mr Bailey overbalanced himself. The Press Agency telegram referring to he same subject gives a different version. It says : " The Enterprise, schooner, which sailed from here for Wanganui with rail way iron, on the 26th ultimo, put back to day. She twice reached the Wanganui bar and was blown away each time. She tried to reach Port Underwood for shelter, but could not. During the heavy weather, Cap tain Bailey tried to make^headway until all the sails were blown away. It was remarked that the captain was somewhat eccentric m his behaviour soon after leaving Wellington and thenceforward his conduct became

ft excitable and irritable. The crew asked s that the captain be lashed down, but Mr Day. the mate, would not hear of it. Having two new sails on hoard, these were bent, and the vessel headed for Wellington. Yesterday morning, while a couple of hands were aloft, the man at the wheel shouted, "The captain has jumped over board." The life-buoy was immediately thrown overboard, but Captain Bailey was soon observed to disappear. There was one case of liquoi on board, but it was brought back untouched."

His Honor decided that the case should go Mr Dufaur opened the case for the prose. CUMr F D Fenton District. Judge, deposed on the'24th of irJune-l there was an action heard in the District Court before me m which Fred. Wm. Sidwell was plantiff and Mr An<ms Anderson defendant. The action was brought for goods supplied. On the application of Mr^ George all wit nesses were ordered out of Court. A written defence was lodged [defence continued : Mrs Anderson was examined on behalf of the defence, and duly sworn. In cross-examination she said: "We used not to send Moore for things without money or an order " I examined her at great length myselt about the oiders. She said : "I used to send Moore tor goods to Sid well's, and I gave him an order on Sidwell and made a duplicate of it. One order Moore used to give to Sklwcll when he got the goods, the duplicate I detained, and when Moore came home with the goods I used to compare the goods with the copy I had kept, and then enter them in the book." That, was the substance of what the prisoner said in answer to me She stated that on every occasion she had always sent Moore with money or an order. A book was produced by her, and on it she grounded her defence. I gave judgment for the plaiDtiff £38 18s, and £13 5s costs ; Total, £52 3s. If the statement about the order had been substantiated that would have made a difference in my judgment. I examined the book which Mrs Anderson admitted she had written. The writing was not that of a person accustomed to writing. _ T Cross-examined by Mr George: I re member a witness named Sarah Hatbeld beiug examined on that occasion. Upon examination on these orders she said, My sister or brother-in-law generally got things themselves, keeping copies." After hear ing all the evidence I disbelieved m these oiders totally. I came to this conclusion after hearing the defendant's evidence. She stated particulars in her evidence that the orders were in writing, and also that Moore was never sent without money or an order. Fred. William Sidwell, sworn, corrobor ated Mr Fenton's statement re Mrs Ander son's evidence in the District Court. Walter Moore was in the employment of Mr Anderson. Witness frequently served Moore with goods on behalf of Anderson. He never produced any order for the deli very of goods. He never even mentioned an order, _ T Cross-examined by Mr George : Mrs Anderson gave her evidence on the 24th of Jnnc. Witness never asked Moore for an order. Mr Anderson requested him to give Moore goods when he came. Moore had a private account of his own. When Moore left Anderson, the latter gave him an order on witness fot £10 cash. That was the only order he ever saw. Robert Walter Moore deposed : I am a sawyer. 1 was in the employ of Mr Ander son and his wife iv 1876. I lived in the house with them. I used to get supplies for the house at Mr Sidwcll's. I was told to do so sometimes by Mr and sometimes by Mrs Anderson. I got goods a good many times for them. lam positive they never gave me an order for goods on any occasion, though once I got one on my own account for wages. Cross-examined by Mr George : lam quite ceitain 1 know what an order is. I am positive I never took any order to Mr Sidwell. „ By his Worship : I never took a written note or list of any sort. Mary Sidwcll, wife of Fred. Wm. Sidwell, said she had never received an order for goods or note of any sort from Moore on behalf of the Andersons. He used to come for goods about once aweek on an average. He never referred to an order. Cross-examined by Mr George : Witness could not swear to having supplied Moore on every occasion, but thought she had. This closed the case tor the prosecution.

Mr George reserved his defence. _ The prisoner was fully committed to take her trial at the criminal sittings of the Supreme Court. The prisoner was bailed out by Mr Anderson for £100 and two snreties for £50 each.

Auckland Borough Endowments.

[BY STAR SPECIAL WIRE.]

[FROM OUR REPORTER.]

WELLINGTON, this day. At a deputation on Saturday, the subject of Auckland, Onehunga. and Parnell Borough endowments, Mr O'Rorke pointed out that the law allowed municipalities to select en dowments and submit them to the Govern ment. The Auckland Municipalities se lected land at Patutahi.

Mr Stout said too many boroughs were wanting endowments, and all selecting the best land.

Mr O'Rorke said all the Southern boroughs had been largely endowed, but Auckland boroughs were being put off with poor land. Mr Stout said in the case of Dunedm the Government did not propose to make a further endowment considering it suffi ciently endowed already. Mr O'Rorke replied that the Auckland people understood when abolition was pro posed, that municipalities would be sub stantially endowed. They did not seek abolition; it was forced upon them. They now found, that instead of receiving sub stantial endowments, land was being set apart in poor districts which was compara tively worthless. Mr Stout asked the deputation to ascer tain the value of the proposed Auckland municipal endowments, so that the matter may be considered during the next recess. All the proposed endowments must be selected during the recess, and submitted to Parliament, so that nothing could now be done until next session to alter the endowments gazetted for Auckland. On dit, that Mr Williams, M.H.R., thinks the proposed endowments at Nuikatere are very good, and that land should have been given in Cook's County instead of in his district.
