"OLD HONESTY."

There was a very fair attendance at tho Opera House last evening, on tlio occasion of the first appearance of tho Auckland Firo Brigade Dramatic Socioty. Tho perfor mance was under tho patronago of tho officers and men of tho Naval Artillery. The two-actcomedy,'' Old Honesty," formed tho first and best portion of tho evening's entertainment, afid, apart from tlio fact that the voice of the prompter was too frequently heard now and again, the performance for an amateur one must bo considered a suc cess. Mr R. Teague made a decided hit in the part of Michael Bradshaw, while Miss Ashton and Miss Lucy Charpentior were both good in their respective parts. Tho other characters were well sustained, tho caste comprising Mr C. Smith as Sir Perkins Besborough, Mr M. 11. Kecsing as Septimus Hock, anci Mr G. Mayes as Toby Porch. The performance concluded with tho farce of tho "Gay Deceivers," in which Messrs Solomon Murphy and Waito sustained tho various characters. Mr J. J. Welsh acted as stage manager.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.

Tho Trunk Railway Survoys.

An interview between the Chamber of Com merce and the Auckland representative in the House of Representatives on the one part, and the Hon. the Premier on the other. There was a large attendance of membora and Auckland M.H.R's. The Chaibman, in opening the proceed ings, informed Major Atkinson that a meet ing of the Committee of the Chamber had been held that morning, at which various resolutions were passed, embodying their views on subjects which it was considered highly desirable to lay before him. He then submitted the first resolution, which was as follows :— 1. " That the deputation of the Auckland Chamber of Commerce and the members of the House of Rspresentativea of the Auck land District have viewed with apprehension the delay which has taken place in the surveys of the North Island Main Trunk Line, and respeotfully urge upon the Go vernment the necessity for vigorous prose cution of these important surveys." Mr Peacock, M.H.R., in supporting the resolution, said that the matter was regarded with deep interest in Auckland, and that the reports of delay in proceeding with tho sur veys was the cause of muoh uneasiness and dissatisfaction. They would be glad there fore to receive an assuranc of the intention of the Government to push on these surveys ao that by the next session of parliament they might be furnished. Mr Aiokin pointed out that there was reason for expecting tho surveys to be pushed forward vigorously, seeing that it was now a year since the vote for them was passed. If it was necossary, extra sur veyors should be put on to expediate the work. The Premier said he had very great pleasure in meeting the gontlemon present that afternoon, and ho had still more pleasure in assuring them that no unneces sary delay had taken place in the matter. They might remember an old saw that said: "It is ofien wise to tarry a little in order to make an end the sooner," and this was perfectly truo of the matter under consideration. It was being pushed forward with all possible expedition, and he hoped that by next session it would be sufficiently far advanced, if not quite com pleted, to allow of tho route being deter mined and the work being definitely pro ceeded with. The Route of the Proposed Railway. The Chairman then introduced the second resolution, viz.:— 2. "That the Chamber of Commerce, as representing the commercial and agricul tural interests of Auckland, desire to express the decided wish of tho people of Auckland—that, if possible, railway com munication should be direct with New Plymouth by the West Coast route." He said that he was only expressing the general conviction of tho people of this great provlnco that any communication with the West Coast other than that which links TeAwamutu and Waitara would be subversive of the best interests of tho colony, Notonlywasthe Waitara connection very much shorter, but by all accounts of those best qualified to form an opinion of the agricultural, pastoral, and mineral value of the coast line of country, it was infinitely superior to the more central I route that had been suggested. We have reached that stage in our financial position as a colony that we take it we cannot afford to build any railway line that does not bid very fair, indeed, to bo in a short while a payable concern. That was one reason why we advocated the Waitara connection. But , the Government'should also remember the ; great desire of tho Taranaki and West Coast , j people to be linked more closely to this province, and wo reciprocated that wish most heartily. Mb Fisth, in a forcible speech, supported ; the motion. He said that the universal opinion in this part of the colony was that m the line should pursue from Auckland ns J% direct a route as engineering difficulties sk^j- would permit toTaranaki,and that the point .-, pf junction should bo Homo where near Strat-

ford, and further, that it should be effected with as little dulay as possible. Te Wetere, Chief of Mokau, said that lie knew tho country between Waitara and To Awamutu, having oxplored it with Mr Hursthouse, and ho could say, there fore, that there was nothing to prevent tho lino running through it. The district inhabited by the natives who op posed tho line was distinct altogether from the route that was being favoured at that meeting. It was in the Ngatimaniapoto country, and there was nothing there to obstruct tho construction of .the line. Hia desire in the matter was the same as that of tho peoplo of Auckland, and he knew that Wahanui also desired that tho railway lino should go by the route just indicated. If it were seriously proposed to be mado, a feasible route could easily be found. The I'rkmier said that he fully under stood that this second resolution in no way committed the Auckland members to a declaration of which line should be adopted, and rightly so far in their representative capacity the duty wa3 imposed upon them of weighing the respective merits of the various routes, and that could only bo done when the data now being procured was sub mitted to tho House next session. They not only represented their particular districts, but the colony at large was well. They should carefully consider tho facts and not be swayed by conjecture, upon which ho understood this seoond resolution was hrgoly basod. Ho might say at onco, as an old Taranaki settler,that the feeling thero was exceedingly strong—quite as strong as it was here—for communication with Auckland. The duty of the Government waa quito clear. Thoir intention was to have the country thoroughly explored and then to mako such recommendations to tho Houso as they considered would commend themselves to its judgment, bearing in mind tho genoral interests, the advantages which would be deiived from less expenditure, moro land, and communication between tho various centres of population. Mr CLARK mentioned that another point in connection with the lino favoured by tho Chamber, was that it would tend to opon up tho King Country.

Tho Premier replied that the alternative route would also havo this effect as it it was ma lo to cross tho Mokau in some part.

The Chairman then submitted tho third resolution, viz. :

3. " That it is desirable further facilities for traffic bo given on the railway lino be tween Auckland and Ponrose, the ono lino now in existence being insufficient for the requirements of the district."

Tho Prkmikr replied that directions had been given to make a survey of of tho pro posed alternative.

The other matters brought under his notice would bo carefully considered.

In answer to Mr Morrin, tho Premikr also said that tho railway station would be oiected as soon as the reclamation was finished.
