THE BOOTMAKERS" AND EARLY CLOS ING.

(To tho Editor). - Sir,— By a recent issue of the Star, I see that the bootmakers are infected with the fever that is now prevalent in Auckland, viz., "The early closing agitation;" I refer to a notice that they will close their establishments at 7 p.m. every evening, (Saturdays excepted). Now this, sir, to say the least of it, is simply childish. Why not close at six* as other shops do 1 Surely they can afford as well as the drapers and others, for I -will venture to say that there is not a more flourishing trade in Auckland than the boot trade. Why then, for the sake of one hour, spoil the whole evening's recreation, besides in juring their constitutions, and those of their assistants? for even with shorter hours the dra pers complain of ilLheahX. and lam sure that the leather trade is notmoro healthy. Now that they havo taken up the early closing movement, let them work it properly and not by halves. Rather let them go hand in hand with then fellow-tradesmen in this movement even as tlicy participate with them in the rise and fall of trade.—Yours, &c, BOOTMAKER'S ASSISTANT.

THE DRAPERS AND EARLY CLOSING.

Sir,—l attended the early closing association meeting on Thursday night last, and was very glad to see such a good attendance as well as such good management on the part of tho re spected and worthy chairman who presided, I intended to have asked a question which escaped my memory at the tune, and with your permis sion will now put it to the association through the medium of your valuable columns. There are five clothing shops in Queen-street which keep open five nights in the week till S, 9, and 10 o'clock, and Satin-day nights till 12 o'clock. What steps do the association intend taking, if any, respecting the getting of these houses closed with the others at 6 p.m '>—I am, &c.

Assistant.

A meeting of the Junction Cricket Club ■was held last night, when the repoit of last season was read and adopted. The fol lowing officers were elected for the new season :—President, Mr Parker ; captain, Mr Ivens ; secretary, Mr Thorpe ; treasurer, Mr Thwaites. Seven new members were admitted to the club, and it was resolved to have practice on the afternoons of Tues day, Thursday, and Saturday. The chair man biiefly addressed the members on cricket, as a physical and moral necessity, and trusted the members would attend practice regularly, and show up nobly in the coming season. A vote of thanks closed the business.
