It ia a long while since the public o£ Auck land have hail o bankrupt stock offered them bat the disappearance of J. B. Robinson and the seizure of his stock by the oreditora hps thrown the stock of the Auokland Clothing Company on the market. The trade were invited to tender for it, and Messrs Garlick and Cranwell pur chased it at a large discount off the original cost. They have removed it to their City Hall Arcade premises, and as their, warehouse is hardly large enough for their ordinary trade, they will sell thia bankrupt stock at a small advance on what they purchased it for, to ettect an immediate clearance. They having paid cash down for it, are naturally anxious to recoup the extra, capital thus involved with all despatch, and offer it at far loss than its vulne to effect a speedy clearance: Ladtea and fjentlemen are invited to shop early in the day, as the assistants arc so fully occupied attending to customers in the afternoon. The Roods are all removed to the City Hall Arcade, and are being sold by Garlick and Cranwell, Draper Clothiers and House Furnishers, Queen-strceti

PRINCE OF WALES' BIRTHDAY.

Consecration of Masonic

Hail, Bemuera*

I TrtE interesting ceremony of Consecrating the uew Masonfe Hall for Lodge Heinutera, No. 1710, E.G., took place to-day, atld Was I attended by a very lai-ge number cf the craft, includinsjTSfileers from the various local lodges, and representatives of the various lodges ia the Northern district. The now hall is situated on thb Keniuera Koad, nearly opposite St. Mark's Church, ov a. picturesque out-look commanding a line view of the surrounding country, and forma quite a conspicuous object anion»st the handsome private residences which adorn this beautiful suburb. The faot that the members of the craft at Bomuera have been able by their own voluntary efforts to erect this handsome and spacious hall is not only an example to the more numerous, if not more wealthy Auck land lodges, but to the craft generally throughout the Auckland district, and it shews that the spirit of enterprise is riot wanting iv this ancient and honourable fraternity. The credit of the undertaking is largely due to Bro. Lodder, the first worshipful master of Lodge, Kcmuera, who has deservedly earned the title of the "Father of the Lodge," and who to-day oflicl atod as Deputy Grand Master in the conse eeration ceremony. The other W. Master of this Lodge have been Bro. Hees, Georgo, Uro. A. V. Macdonald, nnd Bro. Charles Ilosketh, the present W.M. Tho Lodge has been exceedingly fortunate in the selection of its ollicers, who lmvo viod witheach in their efforts to advance tho welfare and progress of the craft in their district. When Lodgo licmuera was first established a temporary lodge-room was used, but tho idea of ulti mately erecting a hall was never lost sight of from the first. By the unwearied efforts of Bro. Lodder, P.M., eiliciently assisted by the ollicers nnd members about throe mouths ago, tho idea took a definite shape and a building com mittee was appointed, consisting of Bro. Loildor, tho other worshipful masters of tho Lodge, and anothor, Bro, Lodder being chairman. Plans and specifications wore invited, and out of thrco received those of liro. Wado were accepted. Mr Layer's contract wua accepted for the building, aud the work was energetically pushed forward. All the members of the craft in the district contributed liberally towards the fund. Tho building was completed within the coutract time, tho cost of the ground being £112, of the building itself £490, besides £100 more to bo expended in iittiugs, &c. Viewod from tho outside the wall presents a neat and imposing appear ance, with its line entrance hall aud folding doors set oil' by massive columns. Tho interior combines tho two qualities of neat ness and harmony in the decorations. It h wainscotted with polished wood, tho upper part of the walls aud ceiling being covered with a light aud graceful pattern. It is lighted with gas from two handsome ehandelicrs. The dai's is neat, and appropriate, the hangings having been made by Mrs Lodder, while other ladies in directly connected with tho crafc have added their contributions to the ornamenta tion of the building. Particularly notice able was a largo compass and square tastefully composed of Mowers placed at one end oC the room. Over tho dais is a fine portrait of the Prince of Wales, the Grand master, by Hartz, which has been presented to the lodge as a souvenir. At one side is a fine organ, which has been purchased by the liberal subscriptions of the brethren. Thero is an office for the Secretary near t he entrance, to be used at the ball this even ing, as a. cloak room for the ladiesj a gentle men's cloak room, and on the upper lloor a spacious banquetting room, which will be also available as a lodge-room for in struction. Tho hall reflects tho utmost credit on all concerned in its erection, and ought to bo an incentive to the craft iv Auckland to follow so worthy an example. THE CONSECRATION CEREMONY.

The ceremony of dedicating the now hall was preceded by nn emergency meeting of Lodge Kemuera at 11.30 a.m., Uro. lies koth, W.M., iv the chair. After the usual lodge work had been transacted, the Acting District Grand Master, Bro. Lodder, took the chair with his ollicers. The consecration ceremony wns commenced, and a procession of the brethren proceeded to St. Mark's Church, where Bro. the Rev. Tebbs, and Bro. the Rev. C. M. Nelson, District Graud Chaplain, conducted an impressivo Masonic Service, while St. Mark's choir rendered the vocal and musical portion of the service, under the leader and organist, Mr E. Hesketh. At the conclusion of tuo sarvicc the proceji sion was re-formed and returned to the hall where the consecration and dedication service was completed by tho Very W.D. Grand Master, l?ro. Lodder acting as District Grand Master. Tho entire ceremony was ellicioutly conducted, and was most impressive.

THE BALL.

The ball, for which a very largo number of invitations have been issued, will take place in the hall at 5.30 this evening, and will be attended by the beauty, wealth, and fashion of this go-ahead district.

Church Ceremonial.

LAYING THE FOUNDATION SToNE,

The ceremony of laying the foundation stone of the projected church of the Holy Sepulchre at the junction of Kyber Pass Road and Burleigh-street took place this morning in the presence of a large gathering of people. This part of the proceedings, , however, was preceded by the Holy Communion in the present church, at which j there were 51 communicants. The 1-iev. B. T. Dudley was the celebrant, and the other clergy present were the Kovs. A. G. Purchas, F. Gould, F. H. Long, J. Haseldeu, and E. O'C. Biggs. A collection was taken up and yielded £3 6s sd. The children of St. Sepulchre's, St. Barnabas's, and the Epiphauy Sunday-schools assembled at the first named church at 9.30, and thence marched to the new site under the guidance of Mr F. G. Kwington, > who acted as Superintendant in the absence of Mr Goorge. The clergy met at Mr Pearce's private residence, which was con siderately thrown open tor their convenience. They there donned their surplices and gowns, some having hoods as well, and headed by the Bishop, proceeded in pro cession to the place assigned them upon the ground. Their names are as follow: —His Lordship the Bishop, Venerable Archdeacons Maunsell and Pritt, Keys. Dr. Kidd, W. J£. Mulgan, W. Lambert, A. G. Purchas, F. Gould, H. H. Davis, J. Bates, C. Bispham, F. H. Long, B. T. Dudley, J. Haseldeu, and R, 0. C. Biggs. The assembly was engaged at the time in singing the first hymn, viz. : "The Church's one Founda tion," a combined choir under the conduct of Mr .V. E. Kice, leading this part of the service, and Mr H. Connell playing_ the accompaniments upon the harmonium. Then followed the 84th psalm, the Lord's Prayer, and a special prayer by the Bishop, his right hand resting upon, the corner stone as he pronounced it. The Bishop then recited the following passages of Scripture, the people making the res ponses :—" B. Behold I lay in Sion a chief Corner Stone, elect, precious. P. And he that believeth in him shall not be con founded. B. The stone which the builders refused : P. is become the headstone of the corner. B. This is the Lord's doing, P. And it is marvellous in our eyes. B. Other foundation can no man lay than that is laid. P. Which is Jesus Christ. B. Praise ye the Lord. P. The Lord's Name be praised." The hymn, "Oh, Lord of Hosts " concluded the preliminary portion of the service. The architect (Mr iS. Mahoney) and the builder (Mr J. W. James) having arranged the stone, His Lordship, with au ivory-handled silver trowel which was presented him, prepared the mortar, and the stone was then carefully lowered into its place. With a gilded mallet His Lordship then tapped it three or four times to denote that it was securely placed. Underneath it copies of the STAE, the " Herald," the " Church Gazette," " St. Sepulchre's Parish Magazine," the printed form of service, and the illuminated parch ment, the text of which was published in our last issue, were deposited. The latter was read aloud by Mr Blwin B. DicKson before being consigned to its abiding place.

His Lordship then addressed the assem blage in the following terms : —Dear people of St. Sepulchre's, we are met this morning to take our several parts ia a ceremony that is akin to that of the consecration of a church. It is not, however, a mere cere mony—an outward observance, and'nothing more. Nothing that wo Jo in connection with our churches should be of this nature. The outward observances in connection with the-tabernacle of the Church in the wilderness were typical of spiritual reali ties. It was the same with the great temple of the Jews at Jerusalem. And when our children ask us, " What mean yo by this laying of the foundation stone of the parish church ?" we have a good reason to give tor our proceedings this day. We mean by what we are now doing these two things, at least: (1) first, that the founda tion of all our hopes is a very definite

belief in o very Certain truth} and (2) flecondiy, that the work which is begun to-day 19 one not intended to serve a temporary and loctil purpdsß bnly, but, is to continue in its eflctits da lonfj tts th 6 world Shall last. 1. The careful and reverent laying of one foundation atdne is ny mbolical of tile one foundation oil which our hopes us QlmatliiuS Hrß bliilt-tllC IbVS «f one personal God, as niade known to us in the birth, the life, the death, and the resur rection of Jesus Christ our Saviour. Never was there a time since the first congrega tion of Christians met in the upper chamber at Jerusalem, when it was more necessary than it is now to emphasize this historical foundation of our Faith. To bo a Christian is not merely to bo a respectable member or society—to be a moral nian or woman ; still less is it merely bo enlightened and civilised; it is to believe in, to trust in, a living person; whom cot having seen love, in whom, though now we see him not, not believing, we rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory. The blessed Saviour is compared by St. Paul in one passage, to the substratum, in another to the corner stone, the binding or tie-stone of the building. By the ceremony in which we are engaged this day, We mean to set forth our belief in tfao Church's oue foundation ; and our earnest conviction, that tho only unfailing bond to unite together residents of the same city, subjects of tho same earthly sovereign, and members of tho human race which God has made of one blood, is the bond of Christianity. It is tho individual lovo of men and women for their common Saviour that is to draw them closer to one another; so that the better Christ tiaus they are the better fellow-citizens they will be. Dear friends, you hava chosen a grand situation ou which to erect tho build ing in which you and your children aro to meet for the worship of Almighty God. May tho sight ot tho building, when linishod, not only gladden tho hearts of new comers to this island, as they behold from the sea the lofty spiro pointing to tho sky; but may it serve as a continual reminder to tho people of tho parish, that hero wo havo no continuing city, but wo suck ono to como. (2). And, secondly, tho ceremony in Which wo aro engagod is meant to express our belief that tho work Which is begun to-dny will contiuuo to tho world's end in its ellects. If wo thought that Christianity was only oho of many equally serviceable, and equally temporary religions wo could Bcuriiely give our ltil>our mild our motley witU auy lieurt for the erection of a house of prayer. But it is not so. However much or little truth there may bo in other roligious systems, wo are persuaded that " there is nouo other uaino given among men whereby wo must bo saved " but that ot Jesus Christ. As time goes On and tho wealth of tho colony in creases, tho building on this site will ho doubt ho enlarged, and more durable materials will bo substituted for the wooden walls, floor, nud roof with which we must bo content; but tho site, we may feel assured, will never be given up. It cannot be improved on, and tho popu lation round about it will go on increasing. It will, moreover, ever be moro and moro sacred in tho eyes of those who come after us ; sacred to the memory of those who have taken part in this day's proceedings ; sacred in the thoughts of young children, and young childrons1 children who shall bless God ou this spot, that he put it into tho hearts of thoir ancestors to deny themselves for the honor and glory ot God, to give of their substance hardily and honourably earned, for the benelit of those who should come after them. In couclusiou, dear people, it ia our hearts' prayer, in connection with this ceremony, that the uew church of the parish of the Holy Sepulchro may be a perpetual remembrauco to ourselves, and to all who shall come after us in this district, that " Righteousness cxalteth a nation, but bin ia a shame to auy people."

His Lordship then offered up the following prayers : "In the faith of Jesus Christ we place this Corner Stono in tho name of God the Father, God the Son, aud God the Holy Ghost. Amen.—Here let true faith, the fear oE God, and brotherly love ever remain. This place is consecrated to prayer and to the praise of the most holy Name of our Lord Jesus Christ, who over liveth with tho Father aud the Holy Spirit, one God, World without end. Amen."

The 87th psalm was next sung aud several other prayers pronounced, after which a collection was made. It realined £31 8s lOd, making a total for the day of £34 15s 3d.

Tho clergy re-formed, and left the ground us the re sessional hymn "Onward Christian Sol diers " was being sang. This concluded the ceremonial.

The Review.

The great Volunteer Roviow took place to day on the racecourse. The first train with tho Auckland battery of Artillery left the Auckland station by the 9 o'clock train, with two 6-pounder guns. The remainder of the Volunteers followed by tho 11 o'clock train. This train was very crowded, and was delayed on passing the bridge at New market by the inability ot the engine to draw the heavy train against a slight in clino. There was a stoppage of nearly ten minutes, but another engine came down from Remueia to the rescue. The whole of the railway arrangements to-day were very imperfect. At the Auckland station there was a struggling crowd of men, women, and children at the wretched accom modation provided for a ticket-office, and as the issue of tickets was slow, and there was great eagerness to obtain them, many weak people suffered severely from the crush. Why cannot the railway authorities make better arrange ments tor the issue of tickets on extraordi nary occasions such as these ? Why not supply tickets to the stationers tor sale, or open a small office for tho salo of tickets near the station ? There was also a great deal of bungling at the Remuera station owing to the carelessness of one of the guards. Shortly before 12 o'clock the whole of tho Volunteers and a vast crowd of spectatois were landed at Eilerslie.

The following was tho state ot the parade : — Thames Scottish.—2 held oflicers, 1 cap tain, 5 lieutenants, 1 staff officer, 2 staff sergeants, 8 sergeants and P. 0., 28 band, 64 rank and file. Total, 111.

Naval Brigade.—l captain. 3 lieutenants, 1 staff sergeant, 4 sergeants and P. 0., 17 band, 63 rank and file. Total, 89. Coromandel .Rifles.—l captain, 2 lieut enants, 5 sergeauts and P. 0., 41 rank and file. Total, 49.

Totals;— 2 field officers, 3 captains, 10 lieutenants, 1 staff officer, 3 stall'sergeants, 17 sergeants and P. 0., 45 band, 168 rank and file,. Grand total for Thames and Coromandel, 249. Victoria.—l captain, 2 lieutenants, 5 sergeants, 50 rank and file. Engiueers.—3 officers, 4 sergeants, 50 rank and file, 1 buglar. No. 3 Company.—2|officers, 3 sergeants, 34 rank and file.

Hobson Company.—3 officers, 4 sergeants, 40 rank and file. Scottish.—3 officers, 3 sergeants, 16 rank and file. Pukekohe Kifles.—2 officers, 3 sergeants, 33 rank and file. Artillery Band. Hobson Band. The three battalions formed line on the ground, marched past right in front, again inarched past left in front, and a third time at the double, right in front. The march ing past was very well performed, the Thames Navals being particularly remark able for steadiness. The brigade then formed a lino of column on the right, advanced, halted, and_ pre sented arms. After which the brigade retired. An open square was then formed, the Artillery and Eugineera forming the regiment of the right. Auckland Navals the front. Thames Scottish the left, and Victoria Company tho rear. Major Morrow was then called to the front, when Mr J. M. Clark presented a volunteer belt to I Major Morrow, and a cup to volunteer Fairs. Major Withers having called upon Major Morrow to step forward, Mrs Clark addressed him as follows :—Major Morrow, it affords me great pleaßure in presenting you with thi3 belt, and I can only wish that you had won it entirely. I hone you will have future success in your career as a Volunteer.

Volunteer Fairß was then called to the front, and in preaenting the cup, Mrs Clark said : I am very glad to have this oppor tunity of prenenting you with the cup, in the contest for which I have taken great interest. The fact that you have won it twice in succession, and made it your own, is a proof of your skill as a Volunteer, and I trust you will be as successful in future contests.

Mr J. M. Clark, in addressing the Volun teers, said : Volunteers, —A short time ago I could say brother Volunteers, and from what I have seen here to-day it almost makes me wish I could do bo now. I thank you heartily for the enthusiastic cheers you have given for Mrs Clark and myself. I have always taken a great interest in volunteering, and lately, tor some reason, Mrs Clark seems to have taken an equal interest in the movement, and I have no doubt that the cup which has now been won linaily will not be the last prize which she will present to the voluuteers. I think I ought not to allow

this opportunity to pas's without saying a I word of praise to tliose volunteers who have I come frotti considerable distances to take part in this review. I have had the pleasure of seeing the Thames volunteers before, afidl must compliment them highly upon then* efficiency and the precision of their Movements; I consider" them a v'ef.y Hue body of men. I do riot \tosh in saying that W dfitract from the, merits of those other volunteers, particularly my old comrades; but still, as strangers, the Thatdfis volunteers deserve the compliment. Major Morrow then said he was sure he was only expressing the general lading of the Volunteers when he said that they were grateful for the interest which Mrs Clark liad manifested in their rifle contests, and their thanks for the very handsome presents you have given. " Those you have presented to-day will do a great deal to stimulate Volunteer drill and rifle practice. 11 can assure you that year by year its pos session is regarded with a great deal of jealousy. I hope if in the future I am not equal to tho success which you wish mo that a member of No 3 company will take my place." Three cheers were then giveu enthusiastically for Mrs Clark and Mr J. M. Clark. Mr Clark thon addressed tho square, and the men presented arms and dispersed for lunch.

[PER "STAR" CARRIER PIGEON. 1 11.45 p.m. Notwithstanding tho great preparations which havo been made for tho JEllerslio sports] on this occasion, in placing tho gardens in their best trim, and providing an attractive programme, they at present pro mise to bo a poor success, if not a complete failure. Tho train which loft Auckland at 10.30 this morning for Ellerslio was literally crammed with passengers, but tho majority left at Bllorslie. Tho gardons are ill the best trim, and tho course has had special caro expended on it. The proprietor has also obtained tho tiger and Kussian bear which wore exhibitod iv town Borne months ago, as well as a number of monkeys which will prove attractive to a iew. iiut all this labour seems to have met with but little recompense in the shape of patronage. Tho show and review which aro held but a few yards away iire inducing imiuy to "leavo, for from Klrerslic they look very attractive. Tho weather which has been very un favourable during tho morning—rain constantly falling—has now improved, but very few additional visitors have put iv an appearance. 2.45.

PROGRAMME

The Lake beach, snugly sheltered from tho westerly breeze, presents a most ani mated appearance to-day, and reminds one of some fifteen years ago, when it was the principal resort for excursionists on this and other fete days during tho summer months. Iho bay is crowded with some twenty or thirty craft, including three stoamers, and already between 400 and 500 visitors have assembled; some to witness the races, which |are just about to commeucc, and others to do the truly rural under tho shades of tho pnhutakawa surrounding the Lake, and in the various pretty bays along the beach. The chief feature, as I have stated, is the races, which will commence about 2 o'clock. The Totalisator, Aunt Dally, aud the usual games were assembled on the beach, and are already doing a good business.

Another Island Massacre.

THE CUTTER ' IDAHO ' ATTACKED,

News vi<l Noumea states that the cutter ! Idaho was engaged recruiting labor at the Island of Saute, ou the eveniug of arrival a number of natives came off and promised to return on tho morning with recruits ; and two canoes with about a dozen men in each came aboard to barter bananas. They exhibited a friendly manner, and most of them spoke good broken English. On arrival, the ship's boat in charge of a native crow under the orders of a nativo named Sam, made a trip to the shore. So soon as she had gone, the canoemen left the cutter for their canoes to get tomahawks, and returned to the vessel armed They gradually surrounded Macmillan, who sat at the stern cleaning firearms, and suddenly split his head open with a tomahawk. There was no other white aboard but two or three natives and seven recruits. These were attacked, and two or three killed and a boy wounded and pitched into the hold where two natives sought refuge. Those two men seizing muskets menanced the natives, who at once cleared by plunging into the sea. Simultaneously the boat's crew were attacked and all killed save Sam and Santo Charlie. So soon as the attack began Sam plunged into the sea and made for a distant point of the land, where he concealed him self in sisht of the vessel until all was quiet. He than swam off and . heaved the anchor, ana sailed the vessel the best he could, aided by the two left of the crew and recruits for several days. They were ultimately sighted by the Lady Belmore 140 miles from the scene of the outrage.

School Teacher (to little boy whose father is a grocer): Now Johnny,if your father has a barrel of whisky containing torty gallons and one-fourth of it leaks out. how many gallons does he lose?" Johnny? "He don't lose none. He fills it up with water right off?" is how a musical critic at Ashburton describes one of the performers :—" He glided through the softer passages with the voice of a seraph, and declaimed the angry defiance of the Macgregors with the tones of an archangel."
