They maintained these positions until opposite the grand stand, when Nemo seemed in volved in hopeless difficulties, being at least a dozen lengths in the rear; but at this stage he rapidly increased his pace, and at the turn was close on York's quarters, Natator then having the lead.

CHURCH SINGING.

(To the Editor.) iSiB, —Seeing a very unjust remark in the "Herald" relative to Miss Sherwin's sing dng at S. Paul's, I beg to ask your opinion. Do you not think it is a very uncalled-for, unkind, and heathen view ? I always was led to believe good singing a part of the service ; therefore why should there be a ■comment if a professional sings ? Should it not be the means of leading us to better things ? Look at the Church, of Borne. Have they not always good singing ? They pay for the gifted to sing. Their Church is always full of their own people. Why is it ? Because it inspires one with holy things—is like a beacon to them. Then why should it not be the same with us. The truth is, in Auckland there are too many denominations, and very little true Christian religion. While we are finding fault with our parsons, what is becoming of our souls ? Who are there more persecuted than our own Ministers, and why ? Because we are only the children of darkness, and can only see an evil side to everything. Where will you find a better cause for money to go for than last Sunday? Let the people of this un charitable town ask themselves—the Pro testant set—if they support their Church as the. Catholic side do? If not, I again say, the Church of Rome is a pattern for us to copy from. They stand by their pastor, support him like a prince, keep their poor, and bless their God for their portion. We, on the other hand, abuse a good man and half starve him, and make him beg for a few paltry pounds. His house could be a pig . «ty; and not half of the people pay for seats, or give a penny towards expenses. We go to church as a fashion, to be seen, and then abuse the poor hard-beaten parson. Now, sir, where is our religion1; and what your fashionable portion do ? Is it God, or is it the Devil we serve? I say, without a doubt, the latter. After such a report,

then, let us try to mend our ways, aud go to Church to pray for a new spirit, and behave like Christians, should—keep our pastors, and abuse them nojfc. I sincerly sympathise with the pastor of S. Paul's, and look upon him as a martyr ; and will only add that his sermon afforded me much pleasure. I feel only sorry he has so poor a Church to support him, and- so many malicious enemies. It must grieve him to have to live in such a heathen land—without the thought of being laughed at by the opposite Church. Ho now I will end with "Down to the heathens, and up, Christians, and be doing!"— Yours, &c, Jesse Clare.

MR DARRELL'S NEW DRAMA, "BACK FROM THE GRAVE."

MR and Mrs George Dan-ell's first perform ance on Saturday evening -will consist of Mr DarreH's original clairvoyant^d spiritualis tic drama, "Back from.the Sfave," in four acts, which has been represented with im mense success at the principal' theatres in Melbourne, Sydney, and Adelaide. The " Melbourne Argus" of July saiys : —" The play is effective. The fire scene was managed well enough to excite vociferous applause. Mrs Darrcll played with all her old natural earness, giving an appropriate effect to the many telling situations in which she was concerned. She looked extremely well, and dressed with a perfect attention to the re quirements of the character. Mr Darrell took pains to make the character of the Bo hemian a signally impressive one. He played with an agreeable airiness in those scenes upon which the shadow has not yet fallen, and he displayed a picturesque and not exaggerated energy in givingprominence to those where a strong and dark colouring was indicated." The " Melbourne Tele graph" also speaks in its favor : —" The sen timent pervading the drama is good, the plot interesting, and the speeches written in an appropriate and vigorous style. In Mr and Mrs Darrell, who were repeatedly called before the curtain, the audience found that every word, * look, and gesture was thoroughly in accord with the play, and true to nature. The fire scene made one of the finest and most ex citing tableaux .we have ever seen. " Tahiti," a writer in the " Australasian," in a criticism of some length, speaks in the following terms of this sparkling drama:— " The situations are very well contrived for picturesque effect, so the piece does not halt; but then this is what one might readily look for from an experienced actor author like Mr Darrell. Of Mrs Darrell it is needless to say that she gave a, perfect representation of the part, for Mrs Darrell is an actress of whom you can always be sure. There are not many like her, and I wish she could persuade others to play on her principle. And then Mrs Dartell looked like what she enacted, and dressed in accordance with the part, and altogether fulfilled what was required of her admirably."- The "Adelaide Advertiser" of May 7 th, characterises the dialogue as " smart, witty, pathetic, and poetical;" and the " Echo " (Sydney), as "the best colonial playyet pro duced on the colonial stage." The public, however, will have an opportunity of judging for themselves to-morrow (Saturday) evening, when it will be introduced for the first time at the Theatre Royal, with new scenic illustrations and striking mechanical effects, in which the principal players will be as sisted by a large company of the best colo nial performers.

ST. LUKE'S (MOUNT ALBERT) CON CERT.

The above concert was held last night in a spacious barn on the grounds of and belong ing to A. K. Taylor, Esq., who, as on other occasions of a like nature, had most kindly placed it at the disposal of the church com mittee. The walls were tastefully festooned with flags, the effect of which was very good, and the whole of the arrangements tended to transform the barn into a very nice little concert room. The greatest portion of the programme was provided by the members of the choir of St. Sepulchre's, who were assisted by Mrs Mitchell and members of the local church choir. Before the business of the evening began, the ladies and gentlemen from town were thought fully entertained at tea by Mr and Mrs A. K. Taylor. The programme was such as to Avarrant a better attendance, (the b«m was fairly peopled), but the wretched stale of the weather doubtless prevented a number of well-wishers and friends from attending a conceit which we trust may be as much a success financially as it was musically. The following is the programme :—(The songs by Miss Bleazard, Mr Gilfillan, and Mr O'Callaghan, and Mrs Mitchell's second song being encored.) Address by Rev. B. T. Dudley. Glee, "The Watch on the Rhine ," song, "Cleansing Fires," Mrs Mitchell;: pianoforte solo, Miss Davis; song and chorus by members of S. Luke's choir, " Say a kind word when you can ;" recita tion, Rev. J. Haselden ; song, " The Soug of Florian." Mrs Glover ; song, Nancy Lee, Mr Gilfillan; pianoforte solo, Mrs Williams ; song, "Don't let the roses know," Mrs Taylor ; glee, " Under the Willow ; glee, " Hark the distant hills;" reading, Rev. W. X De Willis; song, "The Clang of the Wooden JShoon," Miss Clara Bleazard ; reading, Mr Williamson ; song "The Flying Dutchman," Mr O'Callaghan ; J-oug " Robin's Return ;" Glee, "Seethe moonlight beams ;" Glee, " With fair Ceres." the last glee Mr Taylor proposed a vote of thanks to Mi- Rice, Mrs Mitchell, the members of S. Sepulchre's Choir, and other friends who had come from town to assist at the even ing's entertainment. Mr Dudley and Mr Rice responded, and the former took the opportunity of thanking Mr and Mrs Taylor for their kind hospitality shown that even ing to the town folk. The National Anthem concluded this portion of the programme ; a number of the residents of the district, however, remaining to enjoy the light. fan tastic.

THE PONSONBY CLAIMANT.

The movements of this mysterious personage are still enshrouded in mystery. Some Ponsonby residents say that the surveyors are a party of young men en gaged in learning the art of practical geometry, while others incline to the belief that the mysterious claimant is no other than a certain old lady who arrived by the Glenlora, and whose husband went home many years ago with title deeds of a block of land at Ponsonby, but which were burnt with the vessel, the only documents which the old lady had to shew being certain letters.. Another land-owner at Ponsonby is confident that he has seen the claimant, iv the person of a tall, patriarchal-looking persenage,who prowled around his property, notebook in hand, spying out the good lines of the property. For ourselves, after a most exhaustive search we have failed to run the claimant to the earth, and we' hereby offer a reward to anyone who will bring him to this office.

THE GHOST LAID.

Since the above was in type' we have re ceived the following letter :—SIK,—I have been carefully searching through last night's Staii for further news of the movements of the Ponsonby claimant, but it seems your scouts, even with the aid of that new and powerful glass, have. not been able to dis cover him, but I may state that a man called on me yesterday, and with a very solemn phiz assured me that it was a very serious matter, as the claimant had a Crown grant signed by Governor Hobson, and that it was indisputable. Another party told me yesterday that he had a glass with_ this wonderful personage on "Wednesday night, that he was a tine jolly chap, dark com plexioned and middle-aged, with firm-set chin, and meant to have his rights. There is no doubt of one thing, viz., that a piece of ground has been surveyed, and the flags are there for anybody to see, and ,& good many people are shaking in their shoes and expecting writs of ejectment every hour. Out of pare compassion to these good people, I will just say that I heard last night that some young gentleman who is just passing his examination as a surveyor has been having a little practice by way of testing his abilities, and so, sir, please lay the ghost.—Yours, &c. PONSONBY.
