CORRESPONDENCE.

Tho Look Hospital.

(To the Editor,)

Sib,—ln reply to Dr. Tennent's report on the Lock Hospital, will you kindly allow me to point out that it is most misleading •ll do not Bay intentionally so), inasmuch as it claims all sorts of good as wrought by the CD. Act, whereas the same benefits might have been better attained by other means. Tho police had full power to deal with prostitution without the help ot this most infamous measure. We are asked to believe that poor women are reformed by the instrumentality of the C. D. Act. Never! The surgical outrage to which they have to submit, and the other debasing provisions of the Act,only confirm them in wrong-doing, and hinder their reformation. I know of one poor motherless girl—and probably hers Is not an isolated case—who used to go out to honest service before the Act came into force; but, se duced by lewd men, and reported to the police, she at once became a showily dressed prostitute, and such, I fear, eho is likely to remain, poor girl. Dr. Torment states that the Lock Hospital has also ar rested the spread of infectious disease, Will the men who consort with these safe (?) women endorse that statement? I think not, As Dr. Bell Taylor, late. President of the Parisian Medical Society, said at the Inter national Medical Congreen, August, 1881— " The means adopted under these Acts not only fail signally to attain the end in view, but aggravate every evil both physical and moral." Why? " Because of two propa gators of disease you only attempt to treat one—the woman; while man, the most active propagator, is left untouched and free to spread disease." A case In point was brought under my notice only last week. A joung married woman baa come to town to consult a medical man and also a solicitor, with a view to obtain a divorce from her husband, who during a recent visit to Auckland went to the " White House" and contracted the disease from one of its inmates. The money of the ratepayers is worse than thrown away on a worthless. measure, the only effect of which is to publicly encourage vice by the quite imaginary security it gives to those who indulge in it. As for the statement that "prostitutes soliciting in the streets are now rarely if ever seen, that is fully explained by the increased attendance at the houses—l will not say homes—of the unfortunate girls ; but, in dependently of the CD. Act, the police have full power, under the Vagrant Act, to put that down, as also tho many houses of ill-fame which at present exist, and which exert such a baneful influence in the community. Our opposition to the Act is not " mere sentiment," but based not only on moral but social and sanitary grounds, in the firm conviction that such legislation is utterly and radically wrong, and, as Dr. Bell Taylor puts it, "that efforts at police control not only fail to stamp out disoase, but breed arils so monstrous and horrible that onr own Ills are not to be named with them. "—I am, etc., R. H. Hughes.

A Midnight Knock.

(To the Editor.)

Dear Sir,—About half-past I o'clock one morning this week our front door was visited by a man who kept knocking, off and on, in a very gentle manner indeed, until one of our household was forced to inquire from within as to who tho person was without.' No answer was forthcoming at first, and after an in terval of some five minutes, our friend politely inquired, "Does aMr Adams ive here?" Receiving an answer in the negative, it appoars he tried the next house, and a reply from within being at last granted, the midnight visitor again in quired, "Does a Mr Coutts live here?' Whether this man continued his nocturnal business to the end of the street, or whether he at last came upon the man he wanted, I do not know, but at all orenta the matter looks suspicous, bo Fonsonby residents can take it for what it is worth.—l am, &C, . LIKOOLN-STBEBT. May 8, 1885.

Band Contest.—" Harmony," writing with reference to the Colonial Band Con test to be held in connection with the New Zealand Industrial Exhibition, says :—" It would be simply disgraceful if the first city In the colony were not represented by one or more of its bands. On every occasion, when Auckland men have gone forth to uphold the credit of their home they have done it nobly and well; for instance, we bold the Rifle and Carbine Belts, in addition to the North and South Islands Challenge Cup and almost the whole of the trophies competed for at the last meeting of the New Zealand Rifle Association. Hulston, the champion sprinter, was defeated by Woods, wbo brought his honours to Auckland to lay them at the feet of a better man, Jack Pickering. The Wattemata Rowing Club taught Hearn, McGrath, and the best men the. South could produce that there were better men up here. Our Choral Society is admittedly the beet in New Zealand, and it is a subject matter of doubt whether they can be excelled in the Aus tralian colonies; and why should our splendid brass bands not have a show ? Lieut. Norrie, of the A Battery, who has jußt returned from a lengthened tour of the whole of the colonies, has given his opinion that the Garrison Band is superior to anything he heard in his travels. There are a number of others, each of whom I dare say has its ad mirers, who . would be enly too happy in assisting their favoarite in upholding the credit of our city. To attain this object the expense would necessarily be very heavy. I would therefore suggest that there should be a band contest held in Auckland, that an entrance fee of, say, £5 for each band competing, and an admission fee, be charged; that a committee, consisting of one or more delegates from each band, select the judges ; that his Worship and tho civic authorities be asked to lend their countenance to the matter ; and that the whole of the nett pro ceeds be handed over to the band to whom the judges award first place, on condition that they proceed to Wellington and en deavour to bring back the first prize to Auckland."

Tiie WiND-Mitti Bell Tower.—" John Taylor" writes :—" That is a magnificent Bcheme of Mr Hannaford's—the wind-mill bell tower—as described in your issue of the 4th inst. I am surprised at its not having' been an established fact on some one? or other of our rocks or reefs." Public Holidays.—" Citizen " criticises tho action of the Mayor in the recently pro claimed public holiday for a Volunteer review. He says: " Tho public upset, when duly reflected on, seems little else than a childish excitement and absurdity. Was it at all needful that the happy routine of some 10,000 individuals Bhouid be dis turbed in order to the special mustering of some 350 Volunteers for an extraordinary drill exercise? Hardly so, And among the ton thousand who caught the ' fever were included something like two thou sand school children. The Chairman of the City Schools Committee was not wholly responsible in this, but a share rather rests with the Mayor in not exercis ing his own judgment in thus being called upon to upset a largo community on behalf of 350 only."

The Late Station-master.—" Oliver" puts in a good word for Mr llnnsou, sta tion-master, who has been removed to Gore. He thinks it is to be regretted that so efficient and courteous an officer who knew his duty thoroughly should have been removed from our midst. Want of Employment. -" 8.W.J.G." says : "I arrived here from Melbourne five months ago through sickness, and I have only had six weeks' employment since I came, and have persevered and done all that lies in my power to pro cure a Rituation. Therefore I appeal to the good citizens of Auckland either to procure me a situation or help me to get the means to go back to Melbourne to provide for my wife add family, where I can al ways procure a situation.
