ARRIVAL OF TRR WELLINGTON

TEAM.

TiiK steamer containing the Wellington Football team arrived in the Manukau, at 9 o'clock, yesterday morning, and, early though the hour, tho Aucklaud players were not caught napping* A number of tho local men were in waiting, with a couplo of drags, for tho reception of the visitors, and ready to extend a hearty greeting. Very littlo delay was experienced, after the vessel camo alongside the wharf in start ing for Auckland, aud as the morning was beautifully fine, tho kickuta enjoyed to the Utmost the pleasant drive into town. They wero taken to tho Star Hotel, where provi sion had been made for their accommoda tion, In tho afternoon several members of the team visited the North Shore, while the others "did" the more contiguous "lions" of the place. They express themselves greatly pleased with the appearance of the city and suburbs, and seem determined to make the most of thoir holiday trip. Apart from that, there is a resolute determination amongst them to sustain the credit of the Empire city in the approaching conflict, and ifi pos sible to wrest from Auckland the prestige Which she now holds in the spirited gam*. About sunrise this morning the Wellington players might have been s_n wending their way to the practice ground, and the few '* early birds" who were abont had the opportunity of witnessing some capital play. The members of the team are :— Messrs Warbrick, A. Thomson, Davy, J. Borry, W. Berry, Fickson, Roberts, J. Thomson, A. W. Lockio, G. Campbell, and W. Wright (Wellington), Wylie, Ronald son, J. McMaster, and Cameron (Waira rapa), Mr Davidson, of the Star Hotel, was amply prepared for the due reception of the team, and for which tbe gentlemen havo ■expressed themselves in terms of tho utmost satisfaction. Mino Host will also provide the dinner on Saturday, after the match, and we havo no doubt equal satisfaction. PRACTICE. On Saturday afternoon fourteen of the Auckland representatives, with three emer gency men, played a match against twenty two all comers. Tho Representatives proved the victors by four points scoring 9 to 5 Each side obtained a goal, Carter managing one for the Representatives, and Ryan, by a brilliant " placo," getting one for the All comers. Tho scrimmages were by no means so good as wo bare seen in previous seasons, and there is far too much loose and irresolute play. It is to be hoped for the credit of the province that the Waikato men will como into town at once, and that the low days intervening between this and the afternoon of the match will be utilised to the utmost. Biurnal practices should bo resorted to at once, and if any example is required to stimulate to this course, they have it in tho Wellington men. If our laurels aro to be retained, we must fit our selves for the combat.

The play on Saturday does not call for special comment. Though Arneil's play as three-quarter back was really good. Of theso who have up to now been looked npon os the fifteen, Webster, W., will most de cidedly have to come out, aud ought to be placed by C. Burgess.

Boyle has the best of the bowling, with an average ot 5 j while Spofforth, who has bowled con siderably ovor 3,000 balls, is next, and has taken over 200 wickets, Palmer being closo up, and all the averages are very creditable to them, both in batting and bowling. It is thought possible that at the close of the tour McDonnell will still have the best batting average, as ho seems a very con eistcnt scorer.

Theatre Royal.

A LAUGHTER-MOVING "BABY,"

The comedy of " Betsy " fbt " Baby " as it has been called) was produced on Satur day evening before a largo and critical audience, and proved beyond question the greatest success as yet achioved by tho Lingards. The piece is translated from a very amusing, but rather naughty, French vaudeville called " Bcbo" .which was brought out at the Tbciltre dv Palais Royal in Paris somo years ago, nnd now forms ouo of tho stock pieces of that laughter-loving house. Several adapta tions (much modified of course) were made at tho timo by both English and American authors, but none ot them proved very successful, tho coiAplaiut of the critics usually being that in the emasculating process the fun oi tho comedy had boen dono a-Jvay with. An length Mr F. C. Burnand, tho present editor of "Puuch," took tho subject in hand, and without introducing nh objectionable situation or questionable joke wrote tho brilliant concise nnd neatly constructed play, which has taken the theatrical world of London by storm, and proved, with the exception of "Madame Favart," Les Cloches do Cornevillo," nnd "H.M.S. Pinafore," the greatest metro politan success slnco " Our Boys." "Betsy " was first played at the Criterion In August 1879, and will this evening reach its 379 th night. Accordiug to tho latest advices the houses are still first-class; in fact there seems to ho no reason to doubt that, the comedy will have nt least as long a rttu as "Pink Dominoes." Tho story of Betsy is very slight, moreover, it would spoil the fun of intending theatre-goers to tell it. Wo shall therefore contont our selvos with a few comments on the acting, which iv this instance is unusually good all round. The honours of the evening were divided betweeu Mrs Lingard and Mr Craig, as tho redoubtable Betsy, the former is seen to perfection. Though a tall regal woman, naturally she is got Up hero to look almost petile, and makes the most charming "abigails." Mr Craig as the "Baby," Willie St. Paul, achioved a pronounced success. Having seen Mr Lytton Sothern iv tho part, we can unhesitatingly aver that he is not so good as Mr Craig. Mr Sothern makes the best looking "baby" of tho two, but his representation lacks both the subtlety and the finish of Mr Craig's. There is a happy go-lucky boyishness about tho latter eminently natural. One can see that though the lad is a thorough " young rip " he is not a rake. The assumption*of in nocence, too, when Willie gets called to ac count by his mother is most diverting, and so is the face of mock anguish when the un fortunate youth finds himself handed over to the tender mercies of Bet«y. Wc must not forget to say a word of commendation re Mr Craig's get-up. Like his acting it is very superior. One very seldom sees a jeilne premier on tho coloninl stage who knows how to dress his parts with such good taste and propriety. The majority of stage coats and trousers appear to have been bought ready-made, and without much regard to fit. Mr Lingard can't help being fanny, but the part of tho tutor, Mr Dawkins' does not give him much scope. Mr Overton, Mrs Fitzwilliam, aud Miss Adelle, are all admirable, and Mr Campbell shows he possesses a capital voice which we shall doubtless hoar more of by and by. Mr Steele plays Captain McManus with con siderable spirit; in fact, the acting is so good all round, that there is very little call for criticism of any kind. One word more and we have done. References nro in the course of the piece made to the Mncdermott, Z»zel, the Electric Spark and other metropolitan celebrities, whoso names, though familiar enough to Londoners, are so much Greek to colonists. Would it not be better cither to substitute the names of artists who have been here, or to introduce half-a dozen words to explain matters ? Owing to the evident fogginess of these points, several points wero lost on Saturday.

A Guildfordian's view on New Zealand.

The following letter appears In the " West Surry Times " :— " Sir,—lf you think tlie following ex tracts from a letter received from a relativo in New Zealand worthy ot a place in your paper, I shall be pleased by your making use of them. Perhaps they will be the more interesting to some of your Guildford read ers as coming from a young colonist who was educated at the Guildford Castle School by Dr. Fernandez, and well-known by many of the young inhabitants of tho town. He says :— I shall endeavour to placo fthings beforo you as thoy really arc. You must not ex pect to find this " a land flowing with milk and ihoney." It is essentially a working man's country, and anyone coming here mast bo prepared to put his shoulder to the wheel. Most of tho conditions here are so different that any previous experience is; nearly, if not quite, use less. The real advantage here is that if you are industrious and capable it is quite possible, starting poor, to become wealthy; and it is far easier for a young fellow to start in business on bis own account than in the old country. Credit is eaiily obtain able. Farming is fairly protitaW-, but, as in tbe old country, it requires a go d bit ot capital. New Zealand does not offer cheap land as an inducement, at least, compared with several of the other colonies. Land of good quality, in a fairly accessible position, is worth in its rough state from £3 to £10per acre. Good bush land, however, can be got in any quantity at £1 per acre, and to any one who is prepared for tbe hard work and discomfort of a bush farm for a few years, it offers tho best inducements.

Wages are, as far as I can judge, just about double hero what they are with you. i Most of the actual necessities of life—such as flour, meat, potatoes, &c, &c.—• are cheaper, while of course all imported goods are much dearer. The climate is New Zealand's strong point, and is admitted to be nearly, if not quite, the finest in the world. We at present number some 430,000, and have only been in possession of tbe country a little over 30 years ; and I think we have every reason to bo proud of our material progress, our hundreds of miles of railways, and thousands of miles of roads; our docks, wharves, hospitals, and other public buildings, and the millions of acres that wc have brought under cultivation; also of the amount of our imports and exports, our possessions in stock of all descriptions, our complete and successful system of public education, and tho en lightened policy of our government. I am very proud of New Zealand and her doings, and have also great faith in her future. Nothing would tempt me to go back to England to live, I am bo satisfied with my prospects hero, and the advantages that a new country offers over an old one. You need not be afraid of not being able to make a living here. All can do tbat who are prepared to earn it. I employ a good bit of labour one way and another, but only for rough work, such as bacon curing, bullock driving, &c. We do not house our cattle in tbe winter, and so it docs not cost much to raise them. My working bullocks I never feed, oven in the middle of winter —just turn them out when their work is done. Farther south in New Zealand they have to make some preparations for the winter in the shape of a little bay or a few turnips. The price of wool hero is ruled by your prices at home, and it is well competed for, as our merchants prefer to send wool home, to paying cost of drafts for cash, and are quite content with a very small margin of profit. A good many of the wool growers send their clip direct home, setting advances on it from the bank; but for flocks under 1000 it pays best to sell here. The price realised for washed wool from tbis district has been for the past five years from lid In lls 3d per lb. Fat cattle sell on an average .from 20.i to 30s per ,1001b3..bqt occasionally.

owing to severe winter and other causes, it rises as high as 45s or 50s. Mine is a strange kind of life, ft most decided mixture-^a little of all sorts, book keeping of sefving one hour, killing pies, silting, and bullock driving the next. My trade is principally native—in fact 1 tun iii the part of NeW Zealand known as " The Kirtg country jl' quite a pioneer, there not being another white man to the south of me for eighty miles, it, tho land, being hold by the Hau-Huu or King natives, who arc my best customers. Thiugs hero are, just at present, not very brisk, owing to a compara tive stoppage of public works, but will I be lieve soon revive, as we havo just reaped a magnificent harvest, wheat, iv lots of in stances, turning out over 50 bushols. pel' hero, without manure; NeW Zealand, as you perhaps know, has for somo time pro duced tho largest averago of wheat per acre of the whole world ; and this year it is tho best harvest that we have over bad.— Yours, Ate, J. W. Ellis.

Four persons wero charged wiih drunken ness. Margaret Saiusbury was fined ss, aud Mary Davis, a young girl, was fined 10s and costs. THE HUSHING WATKECUESS MAN. Anthony Cowan pleaded Hot guilty to a charge oi drunkenness and disorderly con duct On Saturday last. Sorgeaut Martin deposod to seeing tho prisoner staggering and mntteriug along Queen-street, with a largo conger col in his hand, which ho was swinging about to the great annoyance of tho public. Ho was particularly troublesome to tho ladies, rush iug between thorn with considerable vio lence. Ho was followed by 50 or GO larrikins, who woro yelling and hooting, evidently enjoying tho fun. Pri«oncr : I bought the eel to Bell. lam known as a respectable Avatorcress vendor, and was not drunk. But, your Worship, I'm a kind of stock pot for the police, aud whenever thoy Want a victim thoy are down upou Anthony Cowau. Ho was not drunk. His Worship : You ought to know from experience. I find you have boon convicted 45 times of drunkenness Prisoner : I was not drunk. His Worship : Well, you acted as though you wero, and I must impose a lino of 5s and costs. Prisoner: Will you ordor mo a breakfast boforo I go to Mount Eden, ns I havo been starviug through tho night. Sub-lugpcctor Pardy said ho would havo tho regular rations. Prisoner: Yes, bread and water, splem did faro for a geutleman. CHAKCIK 01' UAMttlj-fa IN AN UOTKL. Henry ti. Hulme, holder of a publican's license, was charged with a broach ot tho Licensing Act, ot 1871, by Buffering card playing for money In the Provincial Hotel, Princes-street, ou the 28th of August Mr Tyler appeared for defendant and r-tatcd that his client did not suffer gamb ling iv bis houeo, as ho was not aware of it. There was card playing, but it was in a room which was in the hire of a lodger. Intimation of anything of tho kind going on in his house was made by a man named John Angels, who avowed that he had lost £4. lt was doubtful whether ho had pos sessed such an amount of money, as ho seemed to have gono Into tho houso with noarly an empty pocket. It could not bo expected that Mr Hulmo could enter apartinonts occupied by a lodger to sco if gambling was going on or not under his roof.

His Worship said a landlord might let his rooms to persons, and evado the licensing laws iv several ways; a landlord should have sufficient control over his houso to prevent a breach of tho law by gambling or otberwise.

Mr Tyler said tho landlord actually re fused the use of tho cards, and he could not be said to " Buffer " the gambling. Sub-Inspector Pardy said he thought that tho crideoco which he could bring forward would satisfy the Court that things wero not exactly of so innocent a nature as had been represented by tho learned counsel; ho thought it could bo shewn that tho supposed " lodger " was a part proprietor or, iv fact, the billiard marker of the house. He regretted to ioform tbe Court that since Mr Hulme had beeu proprietor o( the hotel it had been turned into a gambling saloon. Mr Tyler objected to Inspector Pnrdy's remarks.

John Angelo, fish-hawkor, deposed to going into tho hotel on Saturday night the 28th inst. Tho house was closed. Cannon was in the billiard-room. Thorc wero four young men there. Ho had £5 8s in his purse, it wns agreod to play " euchre "in a room by tho bar. Charles Brown borrowed £1 of witness. The landlord was passing in and out. Did not hear him say anything. Cannon took them upstairs into a room, and they began to play games at 6d each and upwards. There were four other young chaps playing-John Bloom, David Barclay, Thomas Culloton, and James Wilkie. Tbe landlord came into tho room and demanded a shilling all round. He then discovered that he had lost £4 out of his pocket.

To Mr Tyler : The cards were placed on the table either by the landlord or Cannon. The landlord snw them playing for drinks, but he Was not suro that ho was present when they wore playing for money. He owed £2 to the landlord. He told Culloton that he did not liko to go in as he owed this money. To Sub-Inspector Pardy .- Tbo demand of a shilling each, by Mr Hulme, was for allow ing them to play in bis house. He lost tbo money in the home.

Thomas Cullotin gave evidence. He was at the hotel on the night in question. Ho was present whon Angelo reported the matter to the police. Be was about to thrash Angelo for giving information. He should have done it too. Did not caro so much about the matter, but objected to be exposed. Did not care to let all the world know that he liked a game of curds. The lads wero disposed for play, and Cannon invited them into his room for a quiet game. Angelo lost 6> dd, and got maty over it, and swore he would tell the police.

Cross-examined by Mr Tyler: Angelo said, before going in, that he had only f 1 in his pocket. Angelo asked for the cards. Mr Hulme refused, saying he would have no gambling there. They playod first in a side room downstairs. They went upstairs, and Cannon brought up tho cards. The row began through Angelo, who wanted to borrow 6d. Angelo then went and fetched Sergeant Fleming. To Sub-Inspector Pardy : Ho considered tbo Is each was for gas. They found the cards in the room below on tho mantel piece. Charles Brown, of Hobson-street, was at the Provincial about half-pant eleven on the night of the 28th nit. Saw the men at play. He did not pay his Is. Heara Angelo making a noise about £4, which ho said he had lost. There was a search for it, but it was not found. He played till he lost all bis money—but that was a mere nothing. It was only £2. His Worship: Then you were done brown.

Witness: I was, your Worship. Quite cleared ont.

To Mr Tyler : Don't get drunk. Am a staunch Good Templar—a W.C. of the Lodge. (Laughter.) David Barclay, John Bloom, and Jamed Wilkie gave similar evidence.

Sergeant Fleming deposed to being called into the house by Angelo a few minutes after two o'clock on Sunday morning. He found four persons there, besides Mr Cannon and Mr Hulme. Ho spoke to Mr Hulme about tho gambling. He replied it was a bad job. Ho supposed he should have to pay £20. Mr Cannon assisted in the billiard-room.

Mr Tyler reviewed the cvidenco of the several witnesses, nnd considered [that it was not such a glaring case as it had been represented by the police, as he thought he should be ablo to show by defendant nnd Mr Cannon.

H. W. Cannon, formerly landlord of the Provincial Hotel and at present negotiating for the Wairoa Hotel, deposed that he was not employed as a billiard-marker, but, with bis wife, was occupying two rooms at the hotel. Heard Mr Hulme refuse to lend the cards, and -being friends of his, he invited them upstairs to his private room. He did not tell Mr Hulme that they were playing. Did not think Mr H ulme had any knowledge of It; but when Angelo said he had lost £4, he informed Mr Hulme, who vcaire upstairs about it. and the play was stopped. Angelo tod Hulme that if he did not give him the £4 he would iuform the polico. Mr Hulme said he knew nothing of the card-playing, and he must please him self about telling the police. He suggested that the men should pay something for the gas, and four of them paid a shilling. To Sub-Inspector Pardy : There was no billiard-marker employed. He had means to keep himself.

Henry N. Hulme, proprietor, said he let some of the men in. He was playing at billiards with Mr Russoll when they came. He refused the "cards to Angelo. He asked him for the £2 he owed, but he could not pay him as he o_y had 20s in his pocket. He did not believe that Angelo lost £4. His Worchip said he could not acquit ■Veud nit in t\\U c.ise. He was tho licensee uf the hotel, aud was responsible for the conduct. It had been shown that cards

Wete in the lower room lor th 6 use oi custo mers. He had also taken money for the use of the gas in the supposed lddger's room, and tho gambling was going on in illegal hours, when the house ought to havo been closed, Pined £10, costs £\ lis. This was all the busine--".

(To the Editor,)

Sin, —At tho speoiul general Uloctillg pf tbo abovo Society, As renortod iv Saturday's Stak, mention is mado of mo, in not very complimentary tcrmsl: —" Mr Mackuuo tho originator of the Society," Sec, nud again " Referred to tho management of Mr Mackune," &c. You will, I trust, Sir, por mit me tho right of replying. Tbo present yearly incomo is about £780, as stated by Major Greeu. By increasing tho present incomo by a double contribution lot six months, thin would aiiiouht to £300 ; this, added t'd £780, would bo £1,170, and this is what is required to meet the following " lia bilities of the Society," £167 9s 3d ; unpaid death claims, £57 lis; and Mr Leer's salary of £3 10s, or £182 per year. By adding these threo items wo have tlio total liabilities for ono year—£4o7 Os 3d—aud to meet this tbo Committoo requires tho small sum of £1,170, i.e.,- £762 19s 9d— balauce left after paying all their present liabilities, unpaid death claims, and; tho secretary's salary. And this is not making any allow ance for increasing the business to £20 per week, which they " would soon have" On the other hand, with their present incomo of £780 per year wo take or pay their total liabilities of £407 0s 3d. In this current year there would be a balanco of £372 19s 9d left, far moro than would be required to meet tho death claims of the year, without paying a single penny piece more than their tabular rates, "and if they went ou in the same ratio they would soon have £20 per woek,' or £1040 por year, without doubling tho present rate of premiums. I never was tho manager, cot:, soquently f could not mismanage. I was tho superintendent of agents, ond when I resigned that office tho Society was collect ing £10 per week. Thon why re-establish tho Society, and bo at tho expenso ot new books and forms, simply to oraso my namo from thorn. At the dato of my resignation I left literature sufficient to enrol 1,400 mombers. In compiling the tables I added over 25 per cent, on to the New Zealand Government Industrial brauchjtables: this would havo beensuffoient to have paid |for procuring tho buiitic*s, and the remainder, 75 per cent., wns greater than the rates paid by tho Gorern -1 ment Industrial branch when it was in operation. Then why pay more! Re ferring io the statements of my mis management Sec, I do hereby caution tho committee of management that should they cost any further aspersions on my character in future, I shall adopt other means than I have hitherto. If I have depanded tbe Society why does not the committee carry out tho resolution of Major Green, passed at tho first annual meeting of tho Society. "It was tho duty of the Society to find out and punish the delinquents." Policy-holders, has this been done. If not, why do you not see tbat the committee does it's duty, and if it will not, do lt yourselves 1 I am quite willing to appear before you if you require it. Mr Slytield, tho secretary, balanced tbe books and produced a balauce sheet fand if I am not very much mistaken, has kept a copy of tbe same). I was not th secretary, but E. Matthews and Mr John Slytield, who alone kept {the books. I was not the treasurer, but Mr J. H. Pox was ; nor was I ths able chairman first and manager afterwards, but F. Wright was. I was not the collector, only for one or two days, betweeu the times of discharging or the leaving of the collector, until tbo ap pointing of another. All tho above gentle men are in Auckland bnt tho first secre tary, Mr E. Matthews, and I haro every reason to believe that each and all of them would attend nny meeting of tho policy holders if requested.—l am, Sec , W. Mackune.

THE FOOTBALL TEAM.

(To the Editor.)

Sir,—Your morning contemporary seems to have very little circumspection in the selec tion of its correspondents, judging from the report which appears in this morning's edition under the non de plume of "Kickist," which now makes tho third effusion that has appeared from the same author, who is very well known to be a pro minent member of the North Shore Club, who sails under soubriquet of tbo " Bri gand," and who, after malingering all through the season began to practice whon he heard a Wellington team was coming up, and then finding lie bad no chanco of playing, sends a report to tho Wyndham-street weathercock that he retired in favour of his brother. There is no doubt that good fair criticism is whole some— given at the proper time from one who understands what he is writing about; but I think that you will agree with me, that even supposing "Kickist's" remarks wero given by such a person, that the only effect they can have now, is to show our opponents tho weak spots in our team, and .deliberately insult certain members of tho team to whom be has a well-known antipathy. I was under the impression that the team had been finally decided upon, and cannot see bis object in naming a team, unless it is to induce the change of one or two good men in order to give his personal chums a chance of playing ; and if falling about tho field is a qualification, they certainly should be picked, to play, as it affords some amuse ment to onlookers to note tbe agile (?) manner in which they recover themselves. In conclusion I would remind "Kickist" that it ill becomes a member of tho selec tion committee to turn reporter, in order to indulge his personal spite.—l am, &c, Football.

THE SERVANT GIRL'S HARMONIUM.

How will this do for Auckland servant galism? The young woman called this morning at a gentleman's house, in answer to an advertisement which appeared in the Star for a general servant.

The lady of the house had asked the usual preliminary question when the jiamsel commenced with her catechism.

Servant girl: " What time do you have tea ? "

Lady: "Ob, that depends on circum stances; but usually about six o'clock." " Why do you ask ? "

Servant girl: " Because I hintend to bring my 'armonium with mo—and I shall want to practice hevery night-and also must have two afternoons a week to take lessons, and Sundays to myself." Lady : " Oh, indeed; I perceive yoa have high aspirations I"

Servant Girl: " Yes;" I wjnt to fit myself for any station in life I may 'aye to

hobcupy; so I've bought an 'afmonium and am going to take lessons of Professor Swallcr l" Lady: "Well, I must really decline your services, as I have ahvays found a servant enoiigh trouble without the fld* ditlonal responsibility of _ Harmonium and Professor Swallow. Good morning, niy Itwduid be interesting to lettrn If that girl succeeded in finding ii _istres& who would receive the harmonium and allow the " domestic " six nights a week for prac tice, two afternoons for lessons, and Sun« days to herself. But it is to be fearod that instead of appreciating the aspirations of Jemima all mistresses would regard with iioiTor the advent of a servant with a musical encumbrance euttiiliilg such A eat*. rifice of time.

Poor jemima! If her fitness to " hoc cupy" some prospective station in life de pends upon learning to play "an anno nium" while in service that particular station is likely io mourn the absence of that particular qualification. But never mind, Jemima 1 When you get married you can do as you like—that is, if your lol'd and master will permit you,
