ALL SAINTS' CHURCH.

(To the Editor.) Sir, —A lamer performance than that of your morning contemporary on the All Saints' question, it has rarely been my lot to see. This morning, at the cud oi two letters which show that it has been feeding the public upon food made of adulterated materials, itquistly "de lines further cor respondence ova purely parochial affair." Has the "affair" become "purely paro chial" since Saturday ? If nut, for what imaginable reason did it insert the en venomed leader of that date ? I quite agree that " the affair was a purely parochial one," and, therefore, maintain that the " Herald " had no possible excuse for treat ins "the affair" in the way it did. The " Herald " may be intending to turn itself Into a religious newspaper, in which case, if its clientele be agreeable, I can see no possible reason why it should not deal with religious matters, providing it does so in a spirit of fairness; but if [it is to become a partisan, as its article of Saturday would lead one to suppose, the tooner it declares its proclivities the better, as tue public will then be able to attach to its utterances their precise worth. Your contemporary's leader of Saturday contained, whilst pro fessing to deal with "an afl'air" which it now wishes to drop as " purely parochial," a gratuitous aspersion upon a body of men not merited. The clergy of the Church of England yield to the ministry of no denomination in self devotion, -witness the testimony contained in the Weßlcyan Conference report of laat year; but perhaps your contemporary, mole-like, unable to see beyond its own burrow, will say " we only referred to those members of the body ministering in this little corner of the earth," to which we should at once reply "What other Ministry than that of the Church accept the res ponsibility of territorial charge ? What ether Ministry accept the burden of ministry to, and performing the offices for, any and all outside their own communion 1 Who, here, par excmple, reverently bury the stranger dead but the clergy of the Church of Eng land? Does this look like a want'oi self devotion ? Your contemporary's columns have lately been pretty well filled with letters from obscure—at all events anony mous—grumblers upon various secular matters pertaining to the members of various churches. Would it not be better for a newspaper, which, if it is to be cos mopolitan, ought to be purely _ neuter upon all such matters, to point out to all such would-be correspondents that its secular columns was not the place in which to air grievances with which the public at large have nothing to do, and for which they do not care a fig 1 but that the committee-meetings of the body in question are the proper tribunal to which to refer all such sectarian and denominational differ* ences.—Yours, &c, Anglican. - «►

THE PROPOSED COFFEE PALACE.

(To the Editor.) Sib,—As the directors of the Auckland Coffee Palace Company have intimated through your columns that, at the first meeting of shareholders, to be held on Thursday next, they intend to bring under the consideration of the shareholders the desirability of increasing the capital of the company, will you permit me, briefly, to criticise the proposal and the tenders, as reported in your issue of Thursday last? The amount of the lowest tender is reported as being over £20,000, or in other words above the present capital of the company. It would seem, from the advertisement, that the directors contemplate accepting a tender intact or slightly modified; now, what would this entail ? Either increasing the capital or borrowing. If this enterprise is to be a success it must be considered financially. A building costing £20,000 wonld require £4,000 to furnish and probably a further expenditure, including site and other con tingencies of other £6,000. £30,000 at 6 per. cent, would be £1,800 per annum, add to this sinking fund at 4 per cent, for 60 years, £126, and the total is £1,926. The directorate are, I believe, calculating on reducing this amount by about £700 from re atal of shops, after pay ing ground rent of £56S per annum. So that for this company to pay 6 per cent, it would be necessary to clear about £1,300 per annum above all expenses. The ex pense of managing such an immense con cern would be enormous. It seems to me that, admitting the most sanguine expecta tions of the directorate with regurd to rental from shops to be correct, admitting that the site is good, it must be conceded that such a concern would require from the very start an energetic and competent management to realise the small -pet centage I have named for shareholders. Are the company justified in running this risk? Would it |be sound business? It]is of little use calculating [our probable pro fits by wli.it similar companies have done in Melbourne and Sydney. The cases are not analogous. It must not be over looked either that it* would be almost imperative for the company to call up all its capital during the present year. Such a step would be very undesirable. It seems almost ridiculous to talk about increasing the capital of a com pany when its present capital is not nearly subscribed.'; whetherjthe capital is increased or borrowed matters very little, the results would be the same. What then remains? The directors have placed themselves in the hands of the shareholders; let the shareholders, both large and small, exercise their votes, in person or by proxy, at tha coming meeting in the direction of com mencing in a less pretentious and in a more economic manner. Is there a coffee palace in the colonies (leaving out the cost of a site) that has cost anything near the pro jected one ? I think not. At any rate we may safely say that taking into considera tion the population of other cities in which Coffee Palaces have been built there isjnot. It is fair to consider^tbis, because on popu lation depends the return, Let one be erected at an ;outsido price of £10,000 fur nished|comfortablybutjnotgrandly,inanaf;ed as shareholders have a right to expect it to be managed, and I have no foar of the result. If the site is too large for a less expensive building than the one projected, let it bo sub-leased,' These criticisms are not made in any hostile spirit, out solely with a view of awakening the interest of the shareholders that the matter may be prudently and thoroughly considered,—l am, &c, Shareholder, ■ »

NORTHERN WAIROA REGATTA.

To the Editor: Sir,-Britishers all over the werld are said to love fair play, but I regret to inform you that in con neotion with our North Wairoa Ke gatta a feeling ot a very different nature has characterised the pro ceedings, and reflects anything but credit on the coniinitteemcu.' Monday, the 2nd, was the day fixed for the open sidling boats race, and after starting time, the wind being very light.it was decided by the committee that it should be postponed until to-day, the 3rd, Now, tho only way wa could got from Aratapu to Mangawnare, where tho Regatta took place,'was accord" ing to appointment by steamer; and at a little after 9 o'clock we arrived on the scene to find the race started without my sailing master (Mr J. WaymouthJ, the committee having put in a scratch _ crew in my May Flower to sail against an Auckland crack yachtsman in Reynold's Demon. Now, sir, last year the committee kept the boats waiting fully an hour for a boat thaf. was behind her time, and we maintain that in country places when the time differs at almost every station it is not fair to injure tho chanco of a principal boat because the steamer was a few minutes late with'her sailiDg master. I entered a protest, point* ing out to the committee the unfairness of starting the boats with merely a scratch crew in my boat, and of course the Bkill of Warbrlck in the Demon was too much for any bolstered pitchforked crew, and the former won as he liked. It is unfair on the face of it, and has_ caused a trreat amount of dis satisfaction. We have had some excellent sports and regattas up here, but, sir, if this one.sided policy is pursued, all faith in tho Mangawhare sportiug fraternity will be IOBt and we shall seek honest, straightforward, manly aquatic sport somewhere else.— Yours, &c, Edward Downing, Oatlanda Park, Aratapu,
