CORRESPONDENCE.

THE KARANGAHAPE POLLING TO MORROW. (To the Editor.) Sib,- Referring to the meeting of ratepayers of Kirangahape held the other evening, an' attempt was made calculated to mislead the ratepayers, when quoting some of the figures of the city accounts. Ihe aame thing occurred at Ponsonby, but the largo majority whioh polled tor joining the city, clearly shows they were not to be deceived by wrong quotations of figures, and similar results, I feel confident, will attend our polling to-morrow, by our also having a large majority for joining tho city: I may here refer to the road work going on for improving Upper Quoen-street above the York Hotel. It 1b Intended to continue tho road to join the .Newton Road, but our Road Board, for want of funds, will not he able to complete tbis great improvement, and in the cutting down of a bonk opposite one of my houses will leave me Hf t.above the level of the new pathway. At flrat I considered lt no joke to be bo much elevated by our Road Board, but now find that by putting tbree or four rooms under the present ones will obviate the diffioulty, and thusenablo mo to give this Increased accommodation, and the great improvements conferred on the neigh bourhood will enhance very muoh the value of property, and the sooner will wo reap the ad vantages of having drainage works and a supply ot good water. &o. Should we go in for a borough "It may be for years and it may be for ever" before we can enjoy these privileges, and whioh, no doubt, at an early date we will do by joining the olty.—Yours faithfully.

THE REV. G. B. MUNRO'S CAUSES.

(To the Editor.) Sib—ln your report of Mr Munro's discourse on the smallness of church attendance, it is stated that the population of city and Buburba ib 37,000, nnd that on tho morning of Easter Sunday only 10 000 attended places of worship, being about .b' per cent, of the whole. In tho suburb of Remuera, with a population of 3,010, only 211 attended the morning services in the two places of worship there. The rev. gentleman does not state what this per centage is, but you will see, sir it is about 12, or less than half the per cent age of attend-nee over the wholo of the city and suburbs. Whatever, therefore, the causes are which induce this paucity of church attendance, this at least is evident, tbat in Remuera the power of theßO causes is as two to one in the other suburbs and the city. First of Mr Munro s causes .3 intemperance, " be_g drunk on Satur day night." Oh! Mr Munro, that will never fit your aristocratic suburb, whoso residents have always resisted having a hotel in their district. " Dancing up to 12 o'clock on Saturday night. If this is not a fancied cause, it must be purely a suburban Saturday night pastime for we do not know of it in tho city; though why tho affluent residents of Remuera should choose Saturday night for this amusement I cannot conceive. Perhaps someone will explain. Third cause, "growing indifference ana scepticism "reading" books by Colenso, Darwin or Tom Pome, and from such superficial study thoy determine to give up religion. There may be some truth in this, but I was not aware that heresy was so rampant in Remuera or anywhere else in our neighbourhood. A church man remarked to me on this very subject, that the reason why clergymen do not draw congi . gationa is because their discourses fail to in terest. This, I think, is the chief cbubb of the ehortooming in church attendance, and I have no doubt if several clergymen would give Sunday evening discourses on epochs in history, popular movemente, biography. &c. they would draw crowded houses. Or if those who have a controversial forte would take Colenso. "Pentateuch," or Paine's 'Age of Reason" into the pulpit, read from these works, and reply to them, they would Boon discover that the peoplo are capable of being interested and drawn to the church. Where Mr Munro applies the words, " super ficial study," in connection with the books of Colenso Darwin and Paine, he surely must mean thatthe works of these authors aresuper ficial. Anyone who haß read Co-'enso or Darwin must have found that they arc both profound and exhaustive writers. As for Paine, no one claims for him erudition or profundity. He had Bimply strong convic tions, which he expressed in plain language. Mr Munro has fallen, I hope inadvertently, into that habit of questionable taste of referring to Peine as "Tom Paine." This manner of re. ferring to a person naturally arises either from an intimacy with the person or from contempt

for tho person. I hopo in Mr Munro's case it arose from neithor, hut was purely an inadvert | once. . These familiarities of " Tom" and Bob and "Mike may bo endurable in a Society journal, but certainly not in a pulpit. lltoniasPaine waa no mean man. "Common Sense," the production of his pen, de cided tho doliveranco of the American colo nists from the tyranny of George 111., and forty millions of poople in that great Kepublic now enjoy tho liberty Paino bo successfully fought for. Wo hear much of Liberalism and liberal politicians. . What book is the Bibln of Liberalism. Paine's "Rights of Man." ABto his Age of Reason," there are several tilings in it which have not been satisfactorily answered yet. and I havo no doubt but if Mr Munro applies himself patiently and thoroughly to this work in his pulpit, he will materially Increase the attendance at his church.—Yours, &c.

LOCAL SELF-GOVERNMENT.

[By F. J. Moss, M.H.R.]

LOCAL Self-Government will probably, at no distant time, form the chief dividing Hue between parties. It underlies all other political questions, and no Ministry lias been able altogether to avoid it since tho destruction of tbe old provincial institu tions in which its ptinciples were embodied. The loan policy has enabled Ministries to dally with Local Government in the past. But that resort must cease when people have discovered that an unsystematic and reck less borrowing policy means permanent burdens for all, while the permanent gain is for comparatively few. Last session the sum appropriated from the Consolidated Hcvenue was three million three hundtod and twenty-eight thousand pounds. Of this vast sum, only forty-seven thousand pounds were available for even the pretence

CHORAL HALL.

"MAKITANA."

The second annual concert givon by Mr Gordon Gooch, the members of his advanced Hirj ,in_; class, and private pupils, took place on Monday night in the Choral Hall, when " Maritana " was presented in concert form before a very large and appreciative audience. Indeed, so great was the thiong which beset the doors that the building was crowded to excess before eight o'clock, and numbers had to return home disappointed. The ordinary means of check taking were found altogether inadequate, and, through the non-appearance of two of the engaged ushers, a good deal of crushing aud some confusion were rendered unavoidable, while it was found impossible to keep reserved seats very long for their tardy owners. In fact, the Choral Hall docs not admit of much system in tho arrangetuouts for the reception of a very large audience, and until hotter nicins of admission are devised, pro moters ef entertainments there will always be subjected to annoyance, and their patrons to discomfort. As a tentative effort the concert must be pronounced very suc cessful. It is the first thing of the kind publicly attempted in Auckland, and, considering tho limited material upon which Mr Gooch had to work, the result certainly reflects gicat credit upon his ski>l and patience as a teacher. Ot course there wero plenty of blemishes and many faults, but these sink iuto com parative iusignilicaucc when it is con sidered that the master, not having much choice of performers, took tho voices as ho found them, and trained tbem up to the execution of their operatic essay. Future petformanees may be expected to come nearer the standard of excellence, but, as tho initial experiment, tbis is confessedly very co-uucidable. ihe chorus was made up of 41 voices, viz., 14 sopranos, 6 contraltos, 8 tenors, and 13 basses. Mr Angelo Forrest and Mr Slater acted as accompanists on the piano and organ harmonium, interchangeably, and Mr Gooch wielded the conductor's baton. The concert com menced with the overture, very pleasingly played by Messrs Forrest and Slater, after which the first chorus, "Sing, Pietty Maiden," was given. It was fairly rendered, tho tenors, however, being rather weak, a failing which they corrected as the peiformance pro* ceeded. Miss Sykes took the pretty song, "lt was a Knight of Princely Mien," and sang it very satisfactorily. Her voice is not powerful, but it is flexible and of an agreeable timbre. The aria and chorus, " 'Tis the Harp In the Air " followed, Mrs Stevens being the soloist. She sang correctly enough, but a notice able liatlessness or langour of manner and voice tended to mar the effect of the piece. The chorus was rather unsteady, the time being imperfectly ob served at one or two stages. Thia deficiency was fully atoned for by the execution ef "The Angelus." It was capitally inter preted, the religious feeling which pervades the music being happily expressed, and the recurring swells from piano to forte and vice versa being well taken. The duet, " Of Fairy Wand," was contributed by Mies Sykes and Mr Kdniiston, and save some impetuousness towards the close, was suc cessfully done. Mr D. Russell, a young and promising tenor, gave " All the World Over," but hardly in a manner that did justice to himself, as his sub sequent vocal efforts proved. He was nervous and his voice had a muffled sound. Miss Sykes, and Messrs Russell, Sykes, Edmiston, and the choir performed the difficult scena, "Sec the Culprit," but in the choral passages the trebles were by no means equal to the task requited of them. The sustained singing in the upper re gister was evidently exhausting. The chorus, "Pro'tv Gitana," was given very effectively. Miss Sykes sang Maritana's part vory sweetly, and with much archness. The air "Farewell, My Gallant Captain" was omitted, but the ensuing scena was giveD, and it proved the most disappointing item on the pro gramme. Through a mistake on the part of tho pianist (Mr Forrest) in turning over tbe pages of his music-book he got far ahead of tho vocalists, and of course all came to grief. Then the selection was re peated, but the choir, disorganised and un settled by the failure, was only partially successful. The second part of the programme was opened with tho singing of "Alas! Those Chimo3" by Miss Carrie God frey, in her now well-known style. She was enthusiastically encored. Mr Austin sang "Let me Like a Soldier Fall" with a fair degree of success, and was heartily applauded. Mr Gooch followed with tho baritone song, "In Happy Moment.," which he gave with great taste and expression, and its effect was not at all lessened by the departures which the singer's fancy prompted him to make from the ecore. He was recalled with every sign of cor diality and satisfaction. In the recitative, " This Heart by Woe 0-.taken," and tbe cavatina, "l_ow! My Courage," he was equally good. The gentleman excels in the delivery of bravura passages. The amateur "hits" of the evening were unquestionably Miss Annie Hargrave's singing of "Scenes that aro Brightest," and Mr D. Russell's render ing of " There is a Flower that Bloometh." The young lady, we understand, is not more than 13 years of age, and yet she sang with a fulness ot voice, a correctness of tone and time, and a self-possession of t manner that would not have discredited a matured vocalist. She exhibits rare musical ability for one so young, ihe number was encored. Mr Russell sang his selection with proper feeling, and in it the quality of his sympathetic voice received good display, fie did not essay the B flat in the concluding verse, and perhaps the inversion was wisely made, Miss Sykes, Messrs Russell, Jidmiston, and tho choir creditably executed the trio and chorus, "What Mystery," the lady's singing being particularly good. The bass song, "Hear me, Gentle Maritana," and its sequel, " Tho Mariner in his Barque," wero entrusted to Mr Stuart, and be gave a careful rendition to both morceaux. He should amend, however, a too noticeable staccato manner of intonation that he has acquired. In this respect he was faulty. Miss Mendelssohn (a vigorous soprano) and Miss Tapper (contralto), dcs- Sito a little nervousness, sang the beautiful net, "Sainted Mother," pleasingly, and obtained the plaudits of the " house," while an excellent execution of the last solo and chorus, "With Hapture Glowing," brought the entertain ment very happily to a close. Miss Sykes was heaid to great advantage in the solo. This chorus and another, " Ob, Pleasure," were, along with "The Angelus," the best of the concerted selections. Considerable annoyance was caused during the perform ance of tho final selection by a number of people taking au unmannerly departure from the front seats. This sort ef behaviour constitutes a grow ing nuisance at local concerts, aud those who should set the example suggested by good breeding and ordinary courtesy are just the ones who most flagrantly violate their unwritten but well-understood jules. The concert is to be repe .tedin tb.§ Tb.e«.re Royal nex. week.

THE EIGHT HOURS DEMON STRATION.

Tub first public demonstration in connec tion with the movement which seeks te sccuro the limitation of the wdrking day to eight hours took place to-d»y, aud for an initial attempt proved highly successful, despite the deterrent jelled of the rather threatening weather. The affair is deserving of more attentive considera tion than most people might be apt to accord it, for it is fraught with con sequences of a most important character. Hitherto what is popularly known as "the eight hours movement" had hardly passed beyond the sentimental stage, and even then it sufficed to win its way, but now tbat it has come prominently before tbo people with defined principles and a declared purpose it may be expected to assume the aggressive and promulgate its platform. For the carrying out of all social reforms, agitation is the most potent instrument, and in order to work this instrument to the greatest effect, unity of action ia indispensable. The pro moters of the eight hours reform have begun well by resorting to organisation, and starting from this point, under happy auspices, they bid fair to achieve their object. It is one with which liberal aud enlightened men must heartily sympathise. If the working classes ure to be elevated, their tastes purified, their social and moral charac ter improved, and toil itself ennobled, tnen the workers must be given time for re laxation, opportunity for study and self improvement, leisure in which to fulfil their parental responsibilities, and means of invigorating their exhausted bodily frames. The deprivation of these things by the extension of the hours of labour from sunrise till sunset has tended in the pust to deteriorate the physical constitu tion of the race, to brutalise its instincts and to cramp its intellect, but with the progress ot thought a better state of things has been initiated, lt has advanced well on the way to ultimate success, but many a determined effort has yet to be mado beforo the goal is reached. All classes of workers, and not merely those whose labour is purely manual, have a right to participate in thedesired boon, and those who are in possession of it should esteem it a bounden duty on their part to help in obtaining it for their less fortunate neighbours. This class made their appeal to-day, through the Karly Closing Associa tion, by circulating bills containing inter alia the following request:—" Working men, we, the assistants of drapers, clotbiors, grocers, &c, ask you to aid us in securing the same privileges. Avoid late shopping. Avoid all tradesmen who keep lato hours; think of our homes, our wives, our children, and whilst free yourselves, don't bind the shackles of slavery on shopmen, and the more suffering female assistants." The appeal has been mado before and dis regarded, but now that the working men have organised they can scarce refuse com pliance any longer

The members of the various trades or guilds assembled at the foot of Grey-street between half-past eight and half-past nine o clock, and at the latter hour they were formed into marching order as follows -.— Cabinetmakers, stonemasons, moulders, plumbers, carpenters, painters, bricklayers, bricklayers' labourers, engineers, boiler makers, and plasterers. The men walked two deep, each craft boing preceded by a man carrying a pole bearing a bannerette of] white cloth containing tbe name of each printed in large black letters, Preceded by a marshal on horseback, and headed, too, by tbe Hobson Band playing enlivening airs, the procession moved off down Queen-street at half-past nine, followed by a throng of people on tho foot path, and beset, of course, by tho In evitable troops of gamins. The route taken t) the Domain was from Queen-street, up Customhouse-street to Albert-street, thence to Hobson-street and by way of Karangahape and Kyber Pass Roads. as the procession passed along Albert street it contained upwards ot three hun dred man, exclusive of tho band, arranged as follows :—Cabinetmakers, 18 ; stonemasons, 15; moulder, 1; plumbers, 56; carpenters, 42 ; painters, 36 ; brick layers, 32 ; bricklayers' labourers, 62 ; en gineers, 13; boilermakers, 10; plasterers, 30. Total, 315. Arrived at the Domain Cricket Ground, the sports were commenced as soon as possible, Messrs J. J, Holland, E. Gough, F. Foster, and W. Guird acting as judges, Messrs Forder and Ellis being the haodicappers, Mr Leydon tho starter, Mr A. N. ilallifiix tho director of games, etc, and Mr Hunter the secretary. The following are the results of tbe events tbat bad been contested up till two o'clock :—

To the Editor: Sir,—At a recent meeting re Richmond Hoad, the Newton ratepayers passed a resolution to Bend Ihe chairman of that Board to meet the Ponsonby Trustees. How was be treated 1 Kept waiting for three hours, before Field and company deigned to open up the subject with him. When they did, they offered the magnificent sum of £30, if they could spare it, and asked him to go to the adjourned meeting. When he went there was a ball at the Ponsonby Hall, which they wellknew was going to take place, and consequently they knew they could not bold a meeting, and he was made a fool of, and the inhabitants of Hichmond Koad also, for the ensuing winter, It is high time Ponsonby joined the city, as Norfolk street will show to any sensible man- £218 of the ratepayers' money worse than thrown away; and Lincoln-street is so blocked that it is utterly impassable to Rich mond Road for pedestrians, Ponsonby bas had quite enough of tho District Board. If any of the firm owned allotments in Richmond-road1, as they do in Sarslield, we should have both the road done, aud gas lamps to light our benighted footsteps home, instead of breaking our bones in the ruts of tbis Slough of Despond',—Ypurs, &c, Da Syntax.
