MECHANICS' INSTITUTE.

Tun annual inoding of the members of the Auckland Mechanics' Institute was held last evening, Mr P. A. Philips', Vice-president, in the'chair. The secretary read the mi nutes of the previous meeting, which were confirmed; also, Lhu report and balance sheet of the prosvnt term. The report of the committee and balance-sheet were as follows :— '■ la presenting the annual report the subscribers «..; thu Mechanics' Institute, the committee have the satisfaction of being able to aUilc that the income of the iustituto for tha last year (ex clusive of (he ir'.int from the Government) has slightly exceeded the current expendi ture, and a!»o thiit the liabilitiea are dimi nished floin £30 3a Od to £48 13a 6tl. On the other hand, it i.-; ':•■'■ matter of regret that the number of sub«cribeia at present is less by 3S than at ilia .'auua period oi last year, the numbers being respectively 315 and 277. The subscribers to the roading-room alone are 36 ; to ths library alone. 127; to both reading-room nud library, 114; hon. mem bers, 11 ; total, 233. It i* to be apprehended that the Institute must fail in commanding an adequate amount of support, and being proportionately beneficial to the community, until a more suitable site shall j be obtained, on which commodious premises may be erected. If an eligible site could be bestowed by the Uovermuont,o-byany of the public bodir-', the disposal of tl epresuut pro perty wouldfuruuh funds for building. The number of issues fro?.o the library daring tho past twelve mouth:- has been above 9,500, ex clusive of the issue of periodicals. A grant of £200 to thorns titute from the colonial revenue was authorised, and of this amouut the sum of £175 has been difpe-ised, through the Board of Education, in the purchase of books for tiie library. The committee wish to express their recognition of the continual zeal and effi ciency of the secretary, who voluntarily proposed and 'accepted a considerable reduction iv tha '.'.mount of a salary which was evcu previously to that re duction, the rcvur.'b oi being too largo." The bsilance-Bkool showed income £168 183 9d ; expenses about the same, leaving the Institute in debt i-.- Iho amount of £43 13s 6d. The Chairuma. i a moving the adoption of the report and balance-sheet, said the committee deserted credit for what they had clone, and he. trusted the new com mittee would h-. r.'-Ai to place the Institute on a better bails. Dr Kidd seconded the motion, and il w»a ■rarried. On the motion of Dr Kidd, M:. ii. Brett (Mayor) was elected Presitlouc ier tho ensuing year. On the motion of Mr Clifton, Mr Cawkwell was appointed treasurer, and on the motion of Mr Taylor, Mr I\ A. Philips and Dr. Wallis were appointed Vice-Presidents of the Institute. Tho fy Ho wine were elected a committee :—"Messrs G. Evitt, J- 'J'aylor, Clifton, Dr. Kiilc!, ICeesing, J. Edwards, Cawkwell^ WaUon', Williamson, and Hats well. Messrs J. Field and J. 11. Burns were re-appointed auditor*. Mr Wrigley then moved " Tli.it the committee be empowered to v.\ ply to the Government or the City Ooiuicil for n suitable central site for iLe Mechanics' Institute." The mover spoke at some length on the ne cessity of a iiiore eligible si^ht for the Mechanics' Institute, stating that he ap plied some four years ago to the Provincial Council for a suitable bite, but the country membcis were opposed to the grant, hence the unsatisfactory state of tho Institute. Mr Wrigley considered they had a perfect right to ask for a site, and he censured the City Council .for their want of sympathy with the Instil ate. Tho motion was se conded by Mr 0. Williamson. The chair man thought it would be useless to apply to Government for a site, as they had no property in the city : the endowment pro perty was in tho hands of tlio City Council, but that body had not the power of dispos ing of property, excepting on lease. A vote of thanks to the chairman terminated the proceedings.

THE AUSTRALIAN CRICKETERS IN ENGLAND,

The Suez mail brings further details of the visit of the Australian cricketer? to Eng land. The "S. M. Herald" says :—" The Australian Eleven commenced their nrat match in England, at Nottingham, on the 20th of May ; they lost the match by one innings and six vans. Their next contest was at Lord's Ground, oc the 27th, against the Marylebone Club. This match, which created immense sensation, was the most extraordinary ever seen, The Aus tralians had shown in the content with Nottingham—when they Mere quite out of practice and when the wicket war. most unfavourable to :heir style of piny—that they were fully justified in coming to Eng land, and that they would do themselves no discredit as the representatives of cricket at the antipodes .Still no o:ie an ticipated that they would defeat such a powerful team, us that brought against them, by nine wicket?. Special praise is also bestowed on the fielding of the Austra lian Eleven, which was quick and active, and really very smart in the return. Ihe Marylebone players in their two innings cut a deplorable figure. Mr Crape was, perhaps, a little uulncky in the first innings, but in the second he had only two balls, neither of which he touched, while the last took hia bails. Mr Hornby alone in the first innings seemed to have any idea how to play the bowling of Messrs. Boyle and Spofforth. The rest went in and out one after tho other, as if there was something in the bowling too terrible to face. In the second innings, on a good though dead wicket, nine out of the ten of the Maryle bono side were clean bowled ; and they got altogether o-ily 19 runs to add to the almost equally insignificant score of 63, which they had previously obtained. bix men contributed nothing at their first effort and seven more followed suit the next time. Mr Spoflbrth, whoso action and change of pace seemed to puzzle the bats men, bowled in all 59 balls for 20 runs and 10 wickets : Mr Boyle, 89 balls for 17 runs and 9 wickets. The former getting 6 wickets for 4 runs in the first innings, and the latter 6 wielceta for 3 runs in the secoud innings. As to the Australians batting, Midwinter showed good form in both innings. Mesara. MimW-h and Horan likewise did boiler than any of the English side, except Mr Hornby and Mr Flower. The game began at 12 o'clock, and not withstanding the interval ior liiucn, the match ended a little nfter 5 o'clock. In a subsequent mntch, on May 30th, against the Yorkshire County, tha Australians won by six wickets. They were next victorious in a great match with 'ho Survey County Eleven, at Kcnnin»ton Oval, which they won by five wickets. This contest, owing to the interest excited by the extraordinary success of tho Australians, brought the largest crowd to Konnington Oval ever seen in °a cricket-field. Their victory was welcomed with overwhelming enthusiasm, It is generally thought flat it is high time for English cricketers to bestir themselves if Australia is to be s*liown 'there is stilJ something to learn in the old country."

FIRTH v. DUTY.

(To the Editor of the STAR.) Sir,—The revelation re jurymen and fines for non-attendance, -when called, suggest some curious thoughts about justices jus tice, and lawyers in general. What has counsel to do with an empanelled jury but to move them in Court on behalf of their clients by fair argument and judicious con

struction of the law in their favour ? What business have counsel on either or both sides agree in letting such a man as Mr Firth to escape a high public duty as juror? Does Mr Justice Gillies recognise this bar gaining behind the scenes to let an unwilling juryman oil'? One cannot for a moment believe it. Why should a man of smaller pretensions than Mr Firth be obliged to serve, because that wealthy and philan thropic person has more lucrative duties than serving on a jury? Sir, our legal friends will be asked such questions, and our Judges too, and will, I trust, answer them by impartial treatment of ;ill citizens alike.—l am sir, yours truly, Citizen.

I knew one dog froui a pup. Knew it was the property of Cautwu lulder, of Devonport, but did not know the other doff.

WASTE LANDS BOARD.

The regular meeting of the Waste Lavas Board was held this afternoon in the oJlicca, Eden-street. Present:— Messrs D. A. Tole, (Chief Commisioner) in the chair, May, Moat, Firth, Tonks, and Dr. Campbell. DISTRICT ESTATES. The Chairman announced that the " Gazette" contained a declaration, that cer tain waste lands, consisting of 5,721 acres in the districts of Auckland, be added to Crown Lands. APPLICATION FOR LANDS, A communication -was _ received from a family named Smith, asking for a grant of laud, between the Bay of Island:! and Hokianga, stating that in 1876 they applied to the Agent-General for land to settle upon, when they were informed that they would have no difficulty of getting the Jand, by applying to the Waste Lands Board, under the Homestead Act. It was resolved that 1,000 acres lie opened up in the district under the Homestead Act. Mr William Murray, a settler of 12 years, at Wangaroa, made a similar application under the same system, and was dealt with in the same way. Several applications for grants were read from George Frascr, of Otanga ; J. Walsh, of Hokianga; H. Crisp, Waikato River ; P. Wright, of Pokeno; James Givan, Pollock Settlement; James Cottle, Wai takerei West; J. L. Wallis, Tuakau ; Charles Suttou, and others.

THEATRE ROYAL.

PRODUCTION OF "LES DANI GHEFF." Seldom have two dramatists collaborated with happier results than M. Alexandre Dumas and M. Pierre Corvin Newski (Prince Kournicheff). Their joint produc tion, "Les Danicheff," which, waagpreformed at the theatre last night is vastly superior in many respects to the great majority of modern dramas. To M. Newski we are indebted, not only for the plot which is powerful and pathetic without being in the least improbable, but also for the highly original and carefully thought-out _crea tions of the serf Oesip, the Countess Dani cheif". Anna, and Vladimir. The character of Ossip is a singularly noble one, and well studied.and cannot faii to produce a wonder-. ful impression. Great opportunities are also given to the representatives of Anna and the Countess—the latter, if well played, being a particularly striking part —ami even the far from immaculate Vladimir makes a manly and interesting hero. To M. Dumas we are indebted for the Princess, the subtle diplomatist De Taldi, and the dialogue. Had M. Newski elaborated the drama by himself the more sorrowful portions of the story would, perhaps, have been painfully prominent. But M. Dumas, by the skilful introduction of some widely different scenes and characters, which yet chime in har moniously with the story, has prevented this. Tiie dialogue, no doubt, lost a good deal of its brilliancy in the process of trans lation ; but it is still remarkable for its airy cynicism and flashes of rather caustic wit. The fact of there being so many really important characters in "Les Danicheff" makes the piece rather above the capabilities of an ordinary provincial or colonial company. Some of the parts have necessarily to be entrusted to unsuitable persons, and thus the tout ensemble is impaired. Mr Sothern's Ossip is a very fine conception, and would, no doubt, compare satisfactorily with either Mr John Clayton's or the original French representatives. His manner is quiet and his voice subdued, but i he occasional bursts of a passion which can no longer be con trolled show the tumult going on within. In the third act Mr Sothern was at his best. The change i:<>rn hope to despair, when Ossip hears thai Vladimir still loves

Anna; the dignified reception, firstly of the Countess and secondly of her son ; the renunciation of his idolized wife ; and the final outburst of grief, culminating with the heart-broken words, " Oh, God ! I am very wretched," made up a scene well nigh unsurpassed for acting and natural pathos. The other parts were.eTerything considered, fairly sustained. Mrs Hill was a dignified Countess, though scarcely marie up to look like Mr Steelcs's mother; and the last-named gentleman made a satisfactory Vladimir. Miss Morgan played the Princess admit ably, and Mr Burford was a moderately good Hoger de Takli. Miss Jessie Raymond, , who is an excellent actress in her own line, seemed overweighted with the part of Anna. Miss St. Lan and Miss May were amusing as the two poor relations. Messrs. lyrell, Emmett, and Musgrave doubled the small parts—the last-named making a hit as a Jew publican. We must, however, protest against the introduction into a Russian play o? such absurd gagging as "He wants open his publics after twelve, and on SUndayS-" THIS EVENING . "Lea Danicheff" will be repeated. It is well worth seeing.

WORN OUT SILVER COINS AND COPPER TOKENS.

I can assure you that you cannot do a better thing to earn tho lasting | Kmtitude of large and email tradesmen than by calling vehemently the attention of Govern ment and the Ilousotto the quantity of worn out silver coins now in circulation, and worse, the enormous quantity of rubbishing " so-called penny tokens. TheyCarc a perfect nuisance, and source of constant annoyance and unpleasant ness. Surely this colony is old enough now to do without tokens, and should be strong enough to resist tho defacement of silver coin that appears to be constantly going on. Tradesmen are constantly met with—" Why don't they call them in V I certainly think, sir, we are quite justified in looking to Governnibnt to do somo thinfi to lessen this fertile source o£ unpleasant ness, and not unfrcquently of pecuniary lots.

Forecasts of the probable position of po lidcal parties in the House during the ensu ing session have been made _by several journals, and an arithmetical estimate shows that there will be 47 Ministerial and 35 members of the Opposition. The Speakei and three doubttul members are left out oi this calculation, but it is evident that the Ministry is sure to possess a good _ working majority. This being so, it is to be expected that the unseemly struggles which characterised the last session will be un known in the present one.—(" Grey Rivei Argus.") = Persons who adopt coke for fuel are scarcely ever known to revert to the use oi coal."
