ABBOTT'S OPERA HOUSE.

" Tho Woman in White."

On Monday ovoning next a dramatic version of Wilkio Collins's celebrated novel, " Tho AVoman in Whito," will bo presented at the Opora House, with Mr Wybert Reevoin his great role of Count Foeoo. As the etory may not be known to many of our readers, tho following synopsis of the plot will provo of intorcst to them : — In the prologuo. Sir Percival Clyde bribes Mrs Catherick to give him access to tho parish registers, that he may tear out and destroy- the proofs of his illegitimacy. The act is witnessed by tho woman's daughter, Anno Catherick, a girl of, rather weak intellect, who has found her way to the organ loft of tho church, and the disturbance caused by this discovery is partially overheard, though not seen, by Walter Hartright and hia friend Pescn, who are loitering and sketching in tho churchyard without. When tho drama proper commences, Walter is found in stalled as drawing master to Laura Fairlie, a young lady bearing a remarkable rosom blanco to Anno Catherick, nnd betrothed to Sir Percival, who, to prevent tho dis covery of his misdeeds, has succeeded in placing Anne in a lunatic asylum. Anno escapes from durance, and strives to convey a warning to Laura, who had been her friend and playmate in childhood. She is peon by Count Fosco, tho confidant of Sir Percival, and tho wily Italian readily perceives that at least ono of tho baronet's socrets has been withhold.* Tho warning reaches Laura, who, aided by tho counsol of her moro courageous relative Marion Halcombo, do nands an explanation from Sir Percival. In ;he angry .scene which ensues Mdme. Fosco bears a conspicuous part, but all difficulties aro smoothed ovor, and Sir Percival and Laura become husband and wife. Tho next act shows tho unhappy result of tho marriago, tho pecuniary difficulties of tho baronot, and tho absorbing in fluonco of tho astuto and watchful Fosco. At this point much of tho interest depends upon the extraordinary likenoss hetwoen Laura and Anne Catherick, for the latter is again at largo Sir Porcival accedes to Fosoo's barbarous proposal that advantage should be taken of tho likeness bo tween tho two girls, that Lady Glydo should be immured in the lunatic asylum, and that she should bo represented for a time by "Tho Woman in White," who it suffering from an nflection of tho heart which must rapidly provo fatal.. Tho plot is carried out by means of a falso telegram, and Anne Catherick actually dios, and is buried as though she.had been indeed Lady Glyde. Marion believes the death, but with Walter's assistance she eees tho sup posed Anno Catherick, discovers hor to be Laura, and removes her from tho asylum. This is done without legal form, and Count Fosno takes full ad vantage of the mistake. Walter demands and obtains from Count Fosco the proofs of Lady Clyde's identity. After Waltcr'sde parturo tho Count hastens his preparations for instant flicht, but liiß rotroat has been discovered by two members of a secret society whose confidence he has betrayed, and tho curtain falls upon tho lifeless body of tho intriguing Italian.

WAITEMATA COUNTY COUNCIL.

At tho meeting of the Waitomata County Council yesterday, a eottler named Jeft's, residing at Dairy Flat, brought undor the notice of the Council that the contractor for the Dairy Flat Bridge had "scamped" tho work. The approaches were liko a spring board, with the amount of titree buried. Mr Beetham, the County Engineer, in report ing on thiß matter, wrote : "It is easy.for a dishonest contractor to deceive the Engi neer in bridge work, especially when aided and abottedljy a disaffected neighbourhood. It was impossible," he added, "to exercise the supervision that is absolutely necessary if the Councilgavecontractsto inexperienced men, and who were already unfavourably known to members. In this case he was inclined to think that Jeft's was pleased to see a piece of roguery being enacted that he could at a future time quote against the Council and its works." Two applications for Blaughter-houseJicenseß were made at the meeting of the Waitemata County Council yesterday, by Messrs Good acre and Gee. Several of the residents strongly objected to the granting of Good acre's license, and it was decided to postpone consideration for a month. The Council accepted tho following tendors for works :—West Coast Road Contract: Long Bridge, Samuel Fulton, £197. The engineer's estimate was i'2l9 13a. Babylon Main Road No. 3, J. McNaughton £42 2s ; engineer's estimate, £59 6s. Kiverhead, Wado Eoad, J, Moffatt, £59 ]7s 6d; engineer's estimate, £51) 17s 6d. Raising North Wharf, Wade. J.

BOARD OF EDUCATION.

TriE weekly meeting of the abovo body was hold yesterday afternoon. The Chairman's report Btated inter alia : {1) That the follow ing changeß had been made:—Miss Bed lington, pupil teachsr, to Kaurihohore; Mr E. Hawkins, pupil teacher, to Makotu ; Mr A. M. Perry, probationer, to Mt, Hobson Boys' School temporarily ; Mr J. M. Pybus to Mangere temporarily; and Mr J. J. Caley to Nelson-street temporarily. . Grant for School Buildings.—On the subject of Board's want of funds for school buildings, the Under-Secretary for Educa tion wrote stating that owing to the serious foreign complications in which the Empire is at present involved, and tho difficulty that may be experienced by the New Zea land Government in raising a loan for public works out of which grants for school buildings must come, the Minister was made to pledge the Government to pay any amount that might be expended by the Board in anticipation of such grants being made for the current financial year. All he could do was that if there should be no war, and a loan could be raised, and if Parlia ment sanctioned tho vote he was prepared to recommend, he had no doubt that at .least the same amount that was granted to Auckland last year would be paid for .the current year 1885-6. The Scholarships Regulations. — Tho Committee submitted the regulations for the establishment of scholarships drawn up by them in terms of the resolution paesod by tho Board on tho 20th February and 17th of April last.
