STANDARD INSURANCE COMPANY.

The report and balance-sheet to be sub mitted at the tenth annual meeting of shareholders in the Standard Insurance Company, to be held in the Chamber of Commerce, Exchange Buildings, Bond street, Dunedin, on Monday, March 3,1881, states :— "Tho total income for tho year, including c 1,030 15s Id brought forward from last year, has been £71,325 73 7d, and the expenditure £(i 7,592 13s Id, leaving a balance of £/,232 lls M, From this amount your directors paid an interim dividend in June last, absorbing £2,812 10s, leaving a balance of 41,120 Is3d, which they recommend .shall be appropriated as .ollows.

Your directors regret that the reJult of ths underwriting aoctJunt for tho period under reviow is not more favourable; however, our experience is npt singular, as the year has been an extremely unfortunato one to insurance companies almost ovorywhore.

CORRESPONDENCE.

Tho Bay of Islands Coal Company.

(To tho Editor).

Sm,—Permit me through your columns to say a few words to tho shareholders of tho Buy of Islands Coal Co. It is from no desiro on my part to reflect discredit on tho director* of the Company as to the position the (shareholders now find thomselTes in. About a year ago, when the annual state ment of tho affairs 'fit the Company was made public, I took the liberty of addressing the Chairman on the subject, pointing out gome facts that were apparent to the most casual observer, such as the expensive operation of boring with tho diamond drill —a tiling seldom or never done in the old coantry on account of the time and expense connected with it; the cost being at least doable. Then tho prospecting by mines where hitches are met with, if |not patent to the miner at first sight, entails otidless outlay, and becomes the fruitful source of depreciating tho reTenue of tho Company by adding to tho oncost and the necessity of lowering wages and raising tho price of the coal, which is now proposed to be done. To approach the Gorernment, therefore, after they hare completed tho railway, so urgently pressed on them by tho Company eomo time ago, and with an increasing obligation to them of deferred payment of royalty, Is most objectionable. Let the shareholders de mand a report by a competent mining en gineor botoro adding to their increasing obligations, with the prospective eventuality of certain failure and a winding up, so common in the colonies,—l am, &c., John Dbxxison, Mining Engineer.

Dock Engineer.

(To the Editor.)

Silt, —When you consider the vast interests at stako in connection with the new dock, involving the prosperity, to a largo extent, of this port in tho future, and affecting as it must its pro-oiuinenco amongßt the ports of the colonies, ovoryono must agr.ee with you that tho appointment of Engineer under present circumstances is a matter about which there should be no possible chance of the petty cor ruption and button-holing so common in connection with these appointments, finding any place in connection with this one. Unhappily, such does not appear to bo tho case. Tho Board meets, not to consider the fitness of the candidates ; not to carefully weigh the special qualifica tiona of tho certain admittedly qualified men; not oven to road as a matter of form tho testimonials : but f-imply to read out the applications, proceed to ballot on what was.clearly a foregone con clusion. I knov/iiothing of tho candidates —the fortunate appointoo may be tho best for aught I (mow —butthoro can be no quei tion that tho appointment has been made va not very decent hasto—ono may hopo.-£hat after repontance shall not over .fc\ke us. Mr Clark has dono well to take upon himself the not very grateful task of seeking to obtain a re-consideration of the matter, and he will no doubt be roady to bring forward good reasons lor what ho has undertaken. If, to anjono specially, it is owing to Mr Clark's persistence and energy that the now dock has been sot on foot at all, and it is therefore peculiarly appropriate that he should, at some personal unpleasantness, endeavour to prevent a serious blunder being made at tho present juncture,—l am, &c, Mbbuuakt.

Mr Edward Bailey, of Green Lane, sends us the following report of an outrage on Saturday night:—"Sir,—May I beg space in your papor to complain of a cowardly outrage commuted on two children on tho Romuera Road yesterday (Saturday) even ing ? My eon and daughter, aged 17 and 15 respectively, left home at 7 o'clock to go to Newmarket, returning from there about a quarter-past eight. When walking along tho Romuera Road, they noticed a man dodging them, Booming to have come from the direction of Market Road, Being very timid, they allowed him to go past them near Portland Road, walking on slowly bohind him. When near Mr A. Isaacs'a gate, the man camo suddenly upon them both, running at them and knocking them both down, and nearly stunning the boy by hitting him in the lower part of the cheat. The girl had a little purse in her hand, and a packet of butter-Scotch, which, in hor struggle to retain her purse, was scattered all about, and was picked up by a younger son this (Sunday) morning on the road where tho marks of the struggle were plainly seen. Her pursq was opened, but fortunately none of its content* were missed. The screams of the children were heard by us in Green Lane Road, but think ing they had met some cattle coming through Mr Buckland's paddock, were not particularly noticed. The boy and girl arrived home utterly exhausted and breath less by the brutal and cowardly attack. I may say on their screaming out the man made off swiftly, running in the direction of Newmarket. Tho fellow, as far as they could sco, was of short staturo, slouching look, small dark whißkors, round felt hat, and dark clothes."

CRICKET.

Tasmania v. Canterbury.

[by telegraph—press association,]

ChriSTOhukch, yesterday. The cricket match, Canterbury v. Tas» mania, ivas resumed at three yesterday afternoon. The weather waa beautiful, but tho ground from the recent rain was rather soft. Kirby and Burns, the two "notouts,'' wont in, with 64 to get to win. Wilding bowled a maiden to Burns. Dunlop with tho third ball dismissed Burns. 12—2—2. Karris at once commenced work, and six was added to the score; then Kirby played one of Wilding's on to his wickot. 18—3—1. Gatehouao filled the vacancy, and mado five when ho lost his partner, clean bowled by Wilding. 23— i —5. Sale, tho next man, after making a singlo re turned the ball to Dunlop. 24—5—1. Side bottom joined Gatohouso, but tho latter skied ono to Dudnoy, and tho Tasmanians manifestly lost heart at his departure. Side bottom scored rapidly to leg until he got in front of his wicket to Wilding, and when tho last man came in there were still 16 runs to get. Mansfield hit out pluckily, but the skipper this time was not equal to the occasion, and when ten of tho required number had been piled off lost his wicket to Dunlop. Canterbury thus won, after an exciting finish, by six runs. The following is tho score :— TASMANIA.-2ND INNINGS.

MR W. H. WEBB'S CONCERT.

At Mr W, E. "Webb's concert in the Choral Hall on Monday night the opening selection wag a duet for organ and pianoforte from Mozart's "Don Giovanni," which was effectively executed by Messrs W H. Webb and Ralph Hood. Mr Galnor then gave in fino style and with ad' nurable expression the aria " II Balen " from "II Trovatore." Mrs Revitt sang the pretty ballad "If" very tastefully, and Mr Ralph Hood performed with his accustomed brilliancy on agreeable pianoforte arrange ment of airs from •" Rigoletto." Mr Burn, ham gave the song "When Night fa Darkest," and Miss Stephenson rendered with nice feeling Cowan's emotional ballad 1' It was a Dream." Baorraann's '' Original Fantasia" was charmingly executed as a duet for elarionette and piano forte by Messrs S. Jackson and Ralph Hood, while Mr Gainor sang Wallace's descriptive song, "The Bell ringer," in such a manner as to fairly bring down the "house " and entail the penalty of an encore. In the second part of tho programme, Mr Angelo Forrest gave as an organ solo the overture to "Gulllauma Tell," Miss Keturah Campbell performed on the pianoforte, with great facility and skill, Ascher's florid arrangement of aha from Wallace's "Lurline," and Messrs W. 11. Webb, Angelo Forrest, Ralph Hood, and Miss Keturah Campbell executed as a piano forte Quartette, Liszt's "Rakoczi March." It was an able piece of instrumentation. The vocal items of the second part of tho concert were the duet "Of Fairy Wand ("Maritana"), by Miss Stevenson and Mr Gainor, and the songs "My Harp" and " Come Into the Garden, Maud,' by Mra Revitt and Mr T. Burnham. respectively. Him Tapper was absent through indisposi tion, and Mrs Rovitt's second song waa thoreforc a substitute piece It goes with-* out saying that she did it full justice. The concert was over by ten o'clock, and though short it was very enjoyable.

Last issue of the "Northern Luminary' has tho following notico : — " Captain Henry, J.P., passod away to his long horns early on the morning of tho 14th of Fobruary, 1884. Captain Henry arrived in Auckland some 19 years ago, having re tired from tho 17th Regiment a few inonthi previous. About two years after arriral in Auckland, ho took up land at Whangae, Bay of Islands, which was formed as a special settlement undor the 40 acre: system, and for years took an active part in tho progress of the district. Deceased was brother-in-law to tho Rev, R. A. Hall, who was until two years ago stationed at Howick (and now of Kervey' Parsonage, County Cavan, Ireland), to which place ha used to go on a visit. After the departure of tho Rev. and Mra Hall, he resided per manently with his nephews, Messrs J. At L. and R. A. Hall, at Kawakawa. He was - a native of County Down, Ireland, and at time of death 47 years of age. Deceased) had been ailing for the past 12 months. Ha. was greatly respected by all who knew him. The funeral took place on Friday, 15th inri., Quito 150 settlers followed the remaim to the graye." When Dr. H. and Lawyer A. were walkingl arm In arm, a wag said to a friend : " Thosa two are just equal to one highwayman.' "Why?" asked hit friend. "Becaose," rejoined the wag, "it is a lawyer and A doctor—your money or your life !" Gentlemen in search of pictaresqud wives should go to Loreto, Italy. Th<j women are dark and lovely. They wear & jaunty costume, consisting of sixteen petti} coats on week days, and eighteen on Sun* days and holidays.

To the Editor Auckland Evening Stab.

Dear Sir,—l desire to add my cheerful endorse ment of tho good effects I have at all timos re coivod from the use of St. Jacob's Oil when in activo training and racing. During my rooont 6 days' contost hold in the Molbourne Exhibi tion Building for £500 and tho championship of tho Australian and adjacent colonies, it was my boon companion. I continually used it beforo and after each day's porformanee, and tho re aulta Bimply astonished mo. After riding for 8 consecutive hours oaoh day, via., from half-past " until half-past 10, my limbs would become soro and stiff from ovor-excrtion, but after boino; woll-rubbed with tho oil all muscular pain immediately vanished and I felt as fresh as ever. As proof positive,a£tor the contest WBS over, I rodo 100 miles against time before a pub' lie audience and accomplished it in 6 hours U mimjtes ISJseconds. Another application of St. Jacob's Oil was made, and it removed all feel? ings of fatigue and I felt perfectly fit for another race, Am positivoit aided me to win tho match, and I shall never enter a similar contest without a bicyclo and St. Jacob's Oil. 1 strongly advise all "wheelmen" and other athletes to give it n trial, and feol fully con vinced thoir experiences will comparo favour» ably with my own. I remain, dear Sir, Yours truly, John Rolfe, cricket.
