JUVENILE IMITATIVENESS.

Tmf following anecdote -will serve to shew 2n? "Jiorsey boys are inspired to horsey i v" by "oingtotho Circus :—A certain i rtiand liay and corn dealer purchases Ss of hay from fanners .in the country, Sin" boys with drays to load the f £«id hay. He sent to the Tarn aki his Sdrays and horses with boys; they r 1 not return until midnight on the two it occasions ; the horses were in a fearful t te of perspiration, looking also most weard and distrossed ; the proprietor was ~?zled how to account fpr the encum- p f IL The boys did not know what the matter, but "the blessed horses wouldn't pull." The farmer upon whose ii id the hay waa let the cat out of the iff It turned out that the boys, instead f i'estin" their horses ou arrival at the Tfimaki.arid setting to work to load their irnv* proceeded to erect a Cooper and Sv'3 Circus in the field. This was frcofflplished by aid of the ropes and drays. The cart horses were driven in the ring, nd each Jehu essayed to eclipse the Ttfrformaiices of the other Jehu, and to ival Martiuho Lowande s accomplished " estriau movements. The old horses (already like Pharoaii's lean kine) galloped madly round and round, to the delight of fhe voungsteis.but to the rapidly diminish ing of the faithful old cart horses' corpora tion By this means the horses were t rouflit home at midnight looking haggard and "distressed. On finding this out, the proprietor did a little of the circus perfor mance in the shape of a vigorous flourishing nf the whip, which has had the efFect of makin< T his drivers renounce the pomps and vanities of circus riding when out on the more sedate duties of carting and cutting hay.

THEATRE ROYAL.—NEW SEASON.

THEATRE-GOEKS w ju k e gl a d to learn that Air De Lias will commence a new season at the Theatre Royal on Saturday evening, May 4th, with a powerful company, m pludine several star artistes, and a number of old Auckland favourites, who have won Golden opinions in the South. Mr John Jack the great Shakesperiau actor and comedian, and Miss Firman, a most versa tile actress, are the principal attraction. They will appear in leading characters In iround of Snakesperian comic creations, Lnin-with "Falstaff" and Part 1 of "Henry IV." They will be supported by the following strong company, many of whose names areas familiar in the mouths of Auckland playgoers as household words : Ladies—Miss Walter Hill, leading; Mrs Bur ford Miss L. May, and Miss Jessie Ray mond and others; Mr J. B. Steele, leading ; Charles Burford, leading ; John Musgrave, old man; Sam Poole. comedian; J. O'Brien, H. Emmett, G. J. Tyrell, G. Reed R. Johnson, H. Underwood, C. Casse'l, &c. The strength of this company, coupled with its versatility and resources, rives promise of one of the best seasons ever Drovided in Auckland. The enterprise of Mr DeLias certainly deserves to win success.

FRANKLYN.

THE free and independent electors of Franklyn are to have a littlo political treat in the election of a fresh representative, in the place of Mr Lusk, resigned. At the last political meeting, the latter gentleman sketched the portrait of the gentleman who lie trusted, would fill the office so lately ornamented by himself. But in thus sketching out for the guidance of Franklyn electors the kind of man to chooso, Mr Lusk pourtrayed such an ideal type of man that it would be necessary for Mr Lusk to look to Heaven above for the original, as such a paragon certainly does not exist on the earth beneath, nor in the waters under the earth. There are, however, a consideL able number of names mentioned as being either desired to stand for office, or else desirous of being elevated to the dignity of M.H.K. for Franklyn. The names men tioned as probable candidates are Messrs Joseph May, Samuel Luke, John Gordon, Benjamin Harris, and Richard Hobbs. Mi- May has, Vv-e believe, declined the earnest request to stand. The people of Pukekohe and other districts were so mad as to re ject him, and he declines again to represent them.

OUR EASTERN QUESTION. (To the Editor of the Stak.) SlE.—Having returned lately from visiting the Thames district, I desire to say a few words upon the native obstructive eleuien t there. It is a maxim in everyday affairs that if one person fails to accomplish some thing attempted, he should then stand aside and allow another to make the attempt. It is, in fact, Darwin's theory of the "sur vival of the fittest," proved in the school of dire experience. Such being the case, I would suggest to the Government the advisability of translating Messrs Puckey and Tookey from the Thames to another and perhaps brighter sphere, and see if this would melt the heart of that modern Pharoah, Tukukino. Major Green, the zealous immigration officer, I observe, has lately been translated from shewing new chums the path in which they should go, to teaching the young idea how to shoot. The Registrar of Deeds, Mr Kissling, might also be permitted to visit Southern climes. There is nothing like change of scene and air, (so my medico informs me confidently, for one guinea—not guinea-pig, I dont keep them—for the "limbs7' of the body politic, as for the corpus vile.—Yours, &c, F. H. TItOUP.

A GRIEVANCE.

(To the Editor of the Stak.) Sir,—Can you tell me whether the Government intend to improve the condition of the fishermen of Auckland, by allotting a more central pluce than Wynyard i-der to land fish. We feel that we have been made victims to favouritism, or why should one man have a wholesale oyster Store on tho spot vacated by u=). Wo cannot see ■why Thames or Kaipara fishermen should be allowed the privilege o£ landing fish on Qucun- Street wharf, whilst we are denied the same accommodation. Why not have one, and only one place to land fish and oyster-?, whero the public could come and purchase, and not make fish of one and flesh of another 1 Why not have a fish market? It appears to us that all the authorities want us to do is to give, give, give. Let item give something to us in return. —Yours, &C, A Fisherman;

(From Our Own Correspondent)

GRAHAMSTOWN, this day, ABOUT THAT IRON.

"A Correspondent" who telegraphed you yesterday, with reference to desire of Thames County Council to secure iron left after completion of Thames water-race, mast have got hold of a cock-and-bull story from the man in the street. It is an ill bird that fouls its own nest, and " A Cor respondent " is evidently one of that kind of rooster. Railway sheet-iron it required oy Council, in pursuance of a vote last session of £6,500, for extension of water-race ; also for repairs to present race, as required; and Piping to bring water to,mill. Iron would oe damaged by shifting, and could only be aoved at great expense. Not true that Council requires iron to "make a rise." THE THAMES VALLEY RAILWAY. The local governing bodies had a Confer ence by telegraph for two hours this inoin ">g with the County Council, Borough Vouttcil, aa(i Highway Boards in Waikalo

district, re the Thames and Waikato rail w ay. Both districts agreed to ask the G ov crn'nientthat the terminus be near Grahams town at the Thames, and Hamilton iv AVaikato, with a branch line to Cambridge ; that the Government be abkod to give a guarantee for five per cent, and that the question of rating native lands through which the proposed railway will pass be left in abeyance for the present. It was agreed that land be rated ten miles on either'side of the line, and that the company who are going to construct the line have it for twenty years, when the Government will have the right of purchasing it; but if they do not then it reverts to them at the expiration of 50 years from the time of construction. WAIO-KARAKA DRAINAGE. A deputation, consisting of Messrsßrown, McCade, and McDonnell, waited on the Borough Council last evening re the Waio- Karaka drainage. The Mayor said the Council was willing to assist, but had to give by agreement the gold duty to the big pump till February. Should the agreement be broken they would be willing to consider their claim.

(From a Correspondent)

TAURANGA, this day, - THE LAND COURT. Interpreters, land-jobbers, and store keepers are down in luck. It is generally thought that the Mak'etu Lands Court will not sit, as the Rotorua and Tauranga natives are trying to close it, they agreeing with the decision of the Napier native meeting. The Tauranga and Muketu natives requiring their titles to land will force the Court to open.

CITY COUNCIL.

SPECIAL COMMITTEE MEETING. A SHECIA.L committee meeting of the City Council was held to-day, at 2 o'clock. Present : His Worship the Mayor, Councillors Goldie, Fleming, Buchanan, Mascfield, Watltiel, and Morton. THE DICKSON-ANDERSON QUESTION. The Mayor invited the opinion of the Council with reference to this long-pending case. He understood that Mr Anderson had given reasons for the mode of work referred to by Councillor Diekson. Councillor Maseiield-ccnsidered that the matter Ava3 in a position very unsatisfactory for Mr Anderson, and the only way to solve the matter was for the Council to take the charges and replies and go through them seriatim. Councillor Goldie said Mr Anderson had admitted the alterations, but had given reasons for them. The question for the Council to consider was whether Mr Ander son had a sufficient number of foremen. Councillor Buchanan said where the puddling had been done underthe clay, Mi- Anderson gave as a reason that it was to save expense to the Council. Councillor Morton did not think it would be fair to go into the matter in the absence of Councillor Dickson. Councillor Goldie said Councillor Dick- S3ii might say, if a decision were arrived^at now, that there was a failure because he had been absent. Councillor Fleming said Councillor Dick son had told him that he would have nothing further to do with the matter, but would "leave the whole matter to the Council. Councillor Goldie proposed that notice be seat to Councillor Dickson of a date to be fixed for the inquiry, and that if he did not tittend, the matter would be dealt with in his absence. . , , . The Mayor did not agree with this view. Councillor Dickson had taken action as a Councillor, and it would not be fair to place him in the position of a private accuser. Ihe Mayor moved that the consideration of the question be adjourned fora fortnight. Councillor Waddell moved, and Council lor Buchananseconded, "That the matter be proceeded with forthwith." Councillor Goldie : " That is an adjourn meut for his absence. That will be as good a reason for adjournment if he is not here then," , ,

Councillor Waddell: Then you want to make him judge and jury. The Mayor: I must object to the ex pression ; Councillor Dickson has as much right to be here as any other Councillor. Councillor Waddell: Then why isn't he here ? He has sent no apology. I object to adjourning a meeting because Mr So-aud-So is not here. The Mayor's motion for the postponement of the question for a fortnight, and sending a telegram to Mr Dickson, acquainting him ■with this decision, was seconded and agreed to. APPROACHES TO RAILWAY. A letter from Mr B. Toiiks stated that he had been requested to draw the attention of the Council to the almost impassable con dition of the approaches to the railway, which, with a few more showers of rain, ■would become wholly impassable, and would be a disgrace to the city. The Mayor said the place—below Jacob's Ladder —was out of the jurisdiction of the City Council. Councillor Goldie moved " That a letter be sent informing Mr Tonks that a Court of Law had ruled that the part from the junction of Custom-House-street to the Railway-station was out of the city boundary, and that the Council could not collect taxes there." The Mayor said he was glad this matter had been brought forward as the Council was being subjected to obloquy by the public, who did not know that the street was out of the jurisdiction of the Council. Councillor Fleming seconded Councillor Goldie's motion, with an addenda that a letter be forwarded to the Harbour Board on the subject. MARKET. A letter from Mr Greenwood, asking permission to have a personal interview with the Council, in order to discuss matters connected with the terms on Avhich he now leases the Market. Councillor Fleming moved, Councillor Masefield seconded, and it was carried, that the request be granted. FRUIT AND COFFEE-STALL. ■ Letter from Mr O'Connell asking permis sion to move his present fruit stall to the foot of Jacob's^ Ladder, and erect a tea and collee-stall on the other side, for which he would pay £1S a year. Councillor Goldie complained of persons erecting buildings who had been refused permission to do so. The Mayor said he did not think the Council would grant permission to erect a stall on the other side of the ladder, though he would be glad to see a tea and cofibe stall erected as a convenience for travellers by the early trains. Councillor Maselield moved that the matter be deferred until next meeting. Councillor Goldie seconded the motion, which was agreed to. •\VESTEKN SPRINGS SLAUGHTER-HOUSE. A report was received on the subject of cottages and other works proceeding there. The portion with reference to the cottages being 40ft apart, and the site was adopted. EXCHANGE OF ALLOTMENTS. A discussion took place on the question of exchanging a site at the corner of Beresford and Howe-streets with the Board of Education, as a school site, in exchange for another lot. Councillor Goldie said the Board could not exchange the site, as it was mortgaged. It was agreed that the land be leased for a period of GG years, on terms to be hereafter fixed. It was agreed before parting with the allotment that the fence be moved so as to include the ground on the west side. THE NEWTON FIRE BRIGADE. Superintendent Hughes reported that when he arrived at the Newton lire he found the local brigade trying to hammer down the iron ball inthofire-p lugopposite Mrs La wry s house. He stopped this, and attached a hydrant to the plug. There was very little water. The Newton Brigade manned the engine, and a fair jet was thrown. He believed that if the Newton branchmau had entered the upper floor of the Mona View when ordered, he would have checked the fire at that point. The report described the discovery that the hydrant was on the wrong plug, and represented that the re solution of the Council that die water in the Kyber Pass reservoir should be laid on to the city every night ought to be at tended to, as serious results might follow its continued neglect.

COOPER AND BAILEY'S CIRCUS.

THE performance last night was very suc cessful, the company accomplishing their various duties in spirited and admirable style, receiving constant and enthusiastic eheeringfrom the large assemblage. The programme embraced fifteen distinct parts, several of which were novelties. La Chelle Phaleuse was unavoidably omit ted, and the ample apology was given that one of the young men had received auinjury during the afternoon ; the double trapeze performance was substituted. After the grand introductory pageant and mardi graa carnival, the trained elephant Prince waltzed in a manner which effectually takes the spirit out of the joke about "a bull iv a china shop." His prodigious limbs moved so gently over his prostrate- master as to indicate what he could do in Mr Ftancis' china shop. Master Willie Ay mar's feats of equitation were a decided succoss. The accuracy and grace of his movements were witnessed with continued outbursts of applause, and must bo seen to beappreciatd. Nat Austin, the clown, was an indispens able accompaniment to Willies perfor mance, and introduced appropriate and exceedingly humorous observations and gesticulation. La Perclie, by Messrs Lazelle and Gorgas, and ladiau club ex ercises, were creditably performed, the former earning special approbation. The performances of the boys, Master George Austiu with (Enchanted Glasses) auu Master Wambold'ft building and ascending crystal pyramids, also attracted deserved attention', and the hitter's .successful achievement of this difficult task received great acknowledgment. Mdlle. Cordelia was again very highly applauded for success fully going through her brilliant perfor mance, aided admirably by James Cassim, the grotesque and very amusing clown. The flying trapeze ace by Mons. Loyal was a striking evidence of the perfection and un erring accuracy of eye and hand to be obtained by practice. The introduc tion of the entire Star troupe in a display of tumbling and rolling, etc", was very wonderful. The great Bra zilian bare-back rider, Marti.nho Lowaude, in his wonderjul feats with his sons, was as usual the masterpiece. The exercises with cannon 'balls by Hercules -Libby was immense". Master Pedro rode his two licry ponies round in line style. The Japanese balancing was also good, rind Martinho Lowande, winding up the performance with nine horses, created quite a sensation. Professor Johnson entered the lions' cage as usual. , , , To-night will be repeated for the second time last night's brilliant programme, and we may add it is the last night but one. Arrangements are made which prevent a possibility of the Circus continuing longer in Auckland, and as it will be long before such another company visit us, people must avail themselves of the opportunity oilered to-ni^ht and to-morrow. AFTERNOON PERFORMANCE. There was a large attendance at the Circus this afternoon, consisting principally of country settlers and school children. Amonpst those present were 115 children of St. Mary's Orphanage and 50 of the Hebrew School, who had been invited by His Worship the Mayor, (tl. Brett, Eaq ,) who also provided abundant supplies ot lollies and cakes. The young people were greatly pleased with the beasts in the menagerie, and the woi.deiful performances, of the various bare-back riders, acrobats, leapers, &c., in the Circus. Inspecting the personal appearance and behaviour of the various bodies of children, it will be encouraging to managers and guardians to state the expressed opinion of the gentlemen connected with the Circus, whose travelled experience makes their

criticism the more reliable. The youths of the Naval Training School were especially referred to for their neat and suitable dress and their excellent conduct, which is said to contrast favourably with those of similar institutions elsewhere. The children belonging to the other philanthropic insti tutions were also highly commended for their extremely good behaviour.

DISQUALIFICATION OF MR McGEE BY THE TURF CLUB.

A MEETING of the Jockey Club was held this afternoon to investigate the alleged pulling of Falcon in the Selling Race. After hearing evidence it was resolved that Mr McGee, owner of the horse shall be disqualified from running at the Auckland Jockey Club meetings for two years. Mr McGee, junior, the jockey, was suspended for twelve months'.

BURNED TO DEATH.

AN accident, which eventually proved to be fatal, occurred on Tuesday night to Mrs McCoskrie, the wife of an engineer who re sides in Hobson-street, nearly opposite Mr Greenaway's. On the evening in question Mr McCoskrie went to the circus, his wife remaining at home. When ho came back he was horrified to find that she had been severely burnt about the chest and abdo men. Dr Hooper was sent for, and he ap plied the customery remedies, without, how ever, any avail, as she died early yesterday. The deceased was 47 years old, and rather stout. Her account of the accident was as follows :—After her husband went out on Tuesday evening she commenced to wash up the things, and finding the fire was nearly out, it is supposed she threw some kerosene on the embers, which blazed up and set fire to her clothing. Instead of creating any alarm, the poor woman pluckily seized her clothes, and tore them off as fast as she could. At first she thought she had escaped without any severe injuries, but the shock to the system was too severe, and in spite of Dr. Hooper's un remitting care she succumbed as we have said yesterday.

FATAL ACCIDENT IN HOBSON STREET.

THE INQUEST,

An inquest was held at the Criterion Hotel this afternoon before Dr. Philsou (Coroner) and a jury of twelve, on the remain:! of Anne Jane McCoskrie, who was so unfortunately burnt at her residence in Hobson-street on Tuesday last. Mr Samuel Charles Smith was chosen foreman of the jury. The-police were represented by Sergeant-Major Mason. After tho body had been viewed :

Dr, Hooper deposed to having been sum moned by Mr McCoskrie to attend the deceased on the morning of Wednesday "ast between twelve and one o'clock. He found her in bed, suffering from severe and

extensive burns on both legs and arms. Nearly the whole of the back, and part of the abdomen, were also badly burnt. She complained of feeling cold, but of very little pain. She seemed to have been taking a little liquor. Her manner indicated it. She was, however, sober enough to give an account of the affair. Her .statement was that she had been making up the lire, and that her clothes caught. She seemed very reticent on the matter. Witness proceeded to dress the burns fit once, assisted by deceased's husband and sister. He gave her a morphia draught that night, and as fihe was so cold, ordered some hot stimulant. Next morning lie saw her again. She had not rallied much. Up to that time witness did not apprehend dan ger, but in the afternoon bad symptoms became apparent. On Thursday morning about 2 o'clock deceased's son summoned him, and said his mother was dead. On going to the house witness found her dead. The cause of death was a shock to her system.

Samuel McCoskrie deposed as follows : — I am an engineer, in business in Chapel street, deceased was ray wife. She had one sou. On Tuesday evening I was at the circus, and returned between eleven and twelve. On entering the house I tumbled over some clothes in the passage. After pushing them to one side, I observed that the back door was open. Deceased immediately called out "Is that you, John?" Meaning our son. I answered, "No, it is me." She then came forward from the yard, and said she had nearly set tho house on lire. I noticed that she was only a' quarter dressed, The rest of her clothes had apparently been burnt oil". I asked her how they caught fire, and she said, from the store-room fire place, whore she was boiling some water for washing dishes. She said nothing about throwing kerosene on the lire, but said she had extinguished the flames by wrapping herself in bags, and that no one knew any thing about it. Deceased was the only per son in the house at the time. She looked stupid, but I observed no symp toms of liquor about her then. I saw her bumf, and observed there was kerosene on the arms. I asked her where she got it, and she said from the lamp to apply to her burns. She denied throwing'any on the lire. ' I had frequently warned her not to do so. I got her upstairs and went to fetch Dr Hooper. I also went to Chapel-street to get her sister to come up, and afterwards, according to Dr. Hooper's instructions, to a chemist's for oil, cotton wadding, &c. There was no lire or light of any sort in the house when I came in. She never told me what time the occurencetook place although I enquired particularly. She was quite sensible, but did not seem to care to talk about the matter. I left the house for the circus about eight o'clock. She was quite sober then. There was no drink in the house to my knowledge. She appeared to get on well for a while, but about noon on Wednesday bad symptoms set in. We lived together on good terms, save when she drank. She had not been drinking for the last five or six wcoks. I believe she died about two on Thursday morning. John McCoskrie, a son of the deceased, gave similar evidence. The enquiry was proceeding when we went to press. '

Not only is gas now reckoned as one of the necessaries life, but it is identified with many of its most "useful and successful occupations, contributing to domestic com fort and healthful enjoyments.
