CITY SOUTH LICENSING COM MITTEE.

—— —» Quarterly Meeting. The quarterly mooting of tho City SowthJ LicensingOjmmitteo was hold at tho 8.M..' Oonrt «t noon to-day. Present. I). Goldie j (Aairman), J. W. Carr, J. Caradns, and C. C, Bill. Thoro was a considerable attend ance of licensed victuallers. [ there was no business befew. tho meeting, in the ray of transfers. ' i The Cii/tiRMAN said thoy woro aware t_at 4 _ige»niountof Sunday tradinglv^s being ime, sod they wero dotormi-cd to hold (_ge meetings, oven although there was no taness, so that the outside public, if so disposed, mfeht lay cd-iplaints against those paUiOMS who wero continually breaking tin taw by Sunday trading. Ho stated tilt the Mcensed Victuallers at their fasti meetingfead admitted that thoy had been/ violating the law up to that time ; but thoy' thei reported to tho Bonch that at a meet iig held subsequently they had ps*<scu a wsoliition to the effect that they would, abandon Sunday trading. Shortly after, the Juiy session it was reported that tho i Licensed Victuallers hold a second meet ing, and after a deal of discussion, .-.ad de rided that each publican shou Id«._,. as he saw lit in the matter of Sunday trading. That they had again reversed to tho previous _ate of affairs was evident from the fact thatoneof the Members of the Committee hid seen 16 persona pass into an hotol in this district in 30 minutes, and that feist i Sandaytnanother district 400 had entered, an hotel in eight hours. If any further evi dence were wanted, it was shown in tho fid that numbers of drunken men were seen reeling about our streets. Not only was this so, but the law abiding publicans thcmsolvcs complained of the amount of trado being dono by others. Another proof was that during tho half-year .previous to theton o'clock licenses earning into [existence, and whon there wore coven hotels less in Auckland than there were to-day, some £2,000 less was received [by the Government as duty on spirits in the Province of Auckland thun in the first half-year undor tho no regime of 10 o'clock licenses. It was evident to tho CommUto that this kind of thing must be put down, both in tho interests of tho citizens at I_s« who had placed them there <on the understanding that they should have -strictS-idiy dosing, and in tho interests of thm p-Wcans who wero anxious to obey thehw, JTha would havo to bo dono by th i«j___ttfes, for it was evident that tho police were powerless to suppress the evil, ffith this object in view, tho temperance otganlsation cwtsido g! the committios arranged for vigilance committies, who had tan watching and would watch those houses that wero noted for that kind erf i tabs, Two such committies had watched tfoiousea in the district, and in cne caso 101 persons had passed into one of these _ hotels on _ Sunday. Tho Committee had intended to have dealt with fe_ particular case today, but the licensee had given place tea man who had pledged himself, if allowed to continue, to obey the at. In tioothor case, as there h_d Pern » previous complaints against tho indi vidual, the Committeo had given him another chance, on the understanding that towould cut'ofif two of the entrances to his hotel, entrances which were not required for public convenience, but had been evidently | constructed with the intention of evading the law. In concluding he expressed a hope that the publicans would pay attention to the TOM-gs given, as the Committee wero deter___ea this year to feavo the law obeyed. Mr Sept. Thompson said tho polico had vsiy little heart te .attempt to suppress the jvil because they had had several cases be lore the Bench Jately, tho evidence in which was very strong—in fact in two cases the poWca-S had pleaded guilty—but all the oases had been dismissed. Then Committee then rose. TMcapuna.

OPERA MOUSE-"THE LITTLE DUKE."

Familiar as the public nfas. now bo with

the ropresent-tion of cohiic opoia by children, it has by no means lost its attrac tions for them. The full horn* which last night signalised the ina'aguration of a season of opera bou^o by Pollard's Lillinu tion Troupe aTorded proof of tV r ao £ if such wero Heeded. Hearty wUs the wel come --tended by .h, 'iudience, and in dulgent their anfVubation of the various incidents, ta-sical and comic, of tho ope<-«. Throe years have elapsed ..inco th« Troupe last visited Auckland, and while many new faces now appear upon tho stn»co, tho general cll'ect of the _ligt_% pi '.'.'me is distinctly uwrke.. .y w» docrcas i"g juvenility 'of the porformors, Most of the yiittiji ladies aro in tho transrSicthal stago from girlhood to yo"_g womftnhtwJ, and therefore can _»"fity peso as children, or ho judged '._€•. '.f.ssionally by tho old standards, ... .oiiiain,. to bo scon how thoy will.rr .s iho test. As for " Tl»_ Little IJ<4o, it docs not afford the necwravy opportunity lor coining to a judgment. It. is more spectacular than musical. Although produced so iong ago as 1878, it has never before been performed in Auckland. In many respect. it L«s»rs a striking resemblance to " Ixi Fit-) tin Tam bour Major." Tho first scon, is laid at a ducal mansion, where, at midtright, the: wedding foaUvitres of the little Due do Parthonay aro taking .plit.o. The mar-i riago is n diplomatic ono, -lid in the midst of the rejoicings, _>c youthful Duchess in' carriod off to tho seminary of a o___onesa while tho l>ako is nominated c. a colonelcy and ordered oil'to his ro.feiont.lnthesecond act he vainly trie*, first by statngom and then by force. t_ carry off his brido from tho scholastic institution, In tho third act tho liuchw* makes lioi cscapo, and joina her husband at tho bivouac of his regiment upon the close of a battle in which ho had I covorod himself with glory. With hiSi blushing honours thick upon Mm, hp 'lehVes | tho army and entere upon _t3 lotig-defe.rod honeymoon. The plot is Simple -enough,) but it is »iwjoia*Cd with socio funnyi Situations, striking scenery, attractive' costuf-Cs, and pleasing music. Tho bulk of tho solo-slpging falls, to the lot1 of tho littlo Dnke, and it would bo; diflici^lt -itlcfeoot to find Oj clevoror childi than Miss Marion Norman for the fulfilment of such an arduous, role. Sho if --ques tionably tho best of the cXX- Vocalists who ha vo appeared upon t^o.ocal stage. Although not moro than it or 1- years of ago, she has tho pcoaiiso of a rich contralto voice, and .ho has also tho faculty of using hor voico with excellent effoct. Last night she was slightly hoarso at tho boginning, but this woro oil as tho opera procoedod, end B in every number sho brought dot.-n.thel house, whilo most woro t-ncored. Thel admirable training sho fca_ received wasi manifest.d by ,'h.cr 'ph.asing of the words of hor sOngj>, _y __■_ expressiveness and i powers of mimicry, and by hor easy md graceful cavriage and natural by-jMay. In every Vespect sho was a dtcidod success. With the exception of the young lady who sang tho interpolated song "On tho March," the ..hers follow musically at a great ict?.V-L Tho song in question was gi>-».n with much feeling and cloar enuncia tion, and in rosponso to tho call of th<. audience a portion of it had to b. repeated, i Miss Lucy Cobb played tf'o t'.u.t of tno1 Duchess very prettily _nd sang fairly. Hor voico is fiWe&t, 'but .athor shrill. In action and appearance Mis'a .Maud PolVard made a first-class Captain de M-ntaland, rfnd her drilling of her troops would not havo discredited any drill-instructor, while tho performance of the various ovolutions would have delighted the heart even of a martinet. Her powers as a vocalist, however, have been waning for sho was unequal to tho music allotted her, As the dunco and mischief-maker of the Canouess's school, Miss Lizzio Donnolly, in tho get-up of a vory fat girl, displayed low comedy talent of considerable effect. Sho kept the laughter going whilo sho was on tho stage, and Miss A. Brooks as Fri mousse.tho Duke'sugly tutor.also succoeded in stimulating tho risibilitiesof thoaudience, Tho choruses woro vory pleasingly rendered, two in particular, viz., the sparkling little chorus at the end of the second act, and that known as "Poor Little Man," making an unmistakably favourable improssion. Tho opera is richly mounted and tho parts aro prettily costumed, whilo tho childron havo been trained with that care and good judg ment for which tho Bollards have always beon noted. Thoro is also a very ctKcfont; orchestra under tho direction of Mr -''red Pollard. "Tho Littlo Dttlffl.*' will bo repeated to-night, and is worth seeing. * - j

THE HOSPITAL EMBROGLIO.

Dr. Bond and the Government.

At tho meeting of tho Hospital Committee yes terday aftornoon, a telegram was road from the Colonial Secretary, stating that with regard to Dr. Bond's application for a commission to in quire into the charges mado against him, tho Government, on reconsideration,had de cided not to interforo with tho internal economy of tho Hospital. With reference to the fore going. Dr. Bond, undor date Fobruary 27, wrote as follows:—" The Chairman of the Com mittoo. Dear Sir,—The Government having first granted the application for an inquiry by commission, on ro-considoration, deemed it un necessary tointorfero. I therefore respectfully re quest either a further consideration of the resolu tion arrived ot by the Committee on February 9th last, or a moro exhaustive inquiry. Now that I am aware ot the nature of tho complaint, viz., harsh and arbitrary treatment.made against me, I shall be able to direct my attention to those particular points, and I venturo to say that I can clearly exonerate myself from al! blame. Had I been informed of the grounds of com plaint during the inquiry, I should mOBt cer tainly have brought evidence to refute the charges. The unsolicited expression of opinion, both of tho medical stafFand patients,leads me to hope that the Committee willjfavourably con sider my request.—l have, &c, JohnH. H. Bond, H.S." Dr. Xtiohardßon also wrote asking for a '• thorough inquiry by the whole Committeo." Ho concluded his letter as follows:—"I havo felt that the inquiry lately held would lead to no permanent result, and I could not agree with tho waste of time whioh it seemed to mo would bo the certain result of inquiry hold in tho manner in which it was then propoßea it should be; but if tho Committee will refer to my former letters, they will sco that I have never refused to them all the information I could give them, only that I have objected to the method of the inquiry as being contrary to what is usual in such casofl, and not likely to produce any prac tical or satisfactory solution of the dtffloulty. With rcforence to this correspondence, the Chairman (Mr E. A. Mackechnie) moved, '• That in tho opinion of this Committee, Dr Bond is entitled to the inquiry he haa asked for, and that it is desirable that it should bo held, in his interest, and in tho interests of the public ; that tho duty of making such inquiry should not ho undertaken by the Committee. — Alter considerable discusßion tho motion was carriod.with an addendum that Government be asked to appoint a committee to carry out the inquiry. _ letter signed by 69 patients testify ing to Dr. Bond- efficient dischargo of his duties, and a letter from two out-patients to the same effect wore read, and ordered to bo sent to Government.
