CORRESPONDENCE.

Fireproof Building.

(To the Editor.) . ~ Sir,—-I was pleased on reading | in last night's issue the article on " Auckland's Architecture," hoping that more articles will be written on the same subject. Had the cross walls of the Wellington Post-office been brick instead of-lath And plaster, it would have been standing now.—l am, &c.j :J. HuoKES.'Supt. A.F.B.

Free library Reading Room.

A correspondent, " Reason," in reply to ". Doncaster" in reference to the Free Library reading-room, «ays he does not Attempt to deny .The statements' ©f " Doucaster,' but objects to the carping spirit of fault-finding al, not obtaining in a youn* town like Auck' land.andina newly established reading-room, all th>. conveniences and comforts (so''much more cheaply obtainable) in an old English town like Doncastor, where tho rato, small as it is, no doubt moid than quadruples tha amount raised hero. Having regard to these facts, " Reason" thinks there is little real cause to bo growling, and ad vises " Doncastor " to visit other cities in the .colony, where ho will tind public reading) rooms and free libraries conspicuous by thoir absence.

He Compulsory Early Closing.

(To.tho Editor.) Sm, - As an opponent of bhe- principle of Sir J. Lubbock's Early Closing Bill, per haps you will' allow something to he said per contra. " Grocers' Gazette," February 2(5, says: "It is quite clear, however, that he ha« sot himself no easy task. Trades of every clans have banded to oppose a bill which as at present drawn is most despotic. So long as the movement wont only to regu late hours ol' labour of youths, say up to 18 years of ago, all right-minded men could approve, and so would I ; but when mjt neighbour thinks to compel me to give over doing business because he does not want to do any, the contention U< fair that personal liberty is interfered with; and this is one of the unfair parts in Sir James's bill. Of youths and boys, no one can 3ay .1 keep them long hours ; nor do I encourage pari eels delivering late on Saturdays. 1 do nob approve of it. 1 have too painful a recollec tion of my own early experience in that lino evor to sympathise with it. Ido not con sider 8 to «, with -lair time for meals, uu-i reasonable hours for assistants, with 1 two or three nights out of five off at 0 p.m. But I think the idea of allowing fruits ers and liquor sellers to trade until 10 p.m., when tho former aro mostly half-bred grocers, and the latter tobaooonists, and ! close grocers by force at eight—too weak and absurd to discuss. Mr H. G. Crows, of Manchester,; writing to the "Gazette," says, very pro perly •. " Any bill which, like the one under consideration, Introduces police supervision and control into the houses of tradesmen, and restricts the legitimate right-! of individuals, imparts a new and vicious principle into English law, and Is an unwarrantable attack on personal liberty." If it was the health of tho em ployees that was suffering that the pre amble of the bill alludes to, and thoy got their hours fixed at a reasonable limit, what more have they to do with it '! and if I chose to stop in my shop at nights and do busi ness to please myself, I am only doing what every other man does with his own time, viz., please himself. The editor writes at nights for money, the parson does the same, the lawyer the samo ; tho carpenter works S hours for pay and at homo ! at-nightsforhimself; thoshostrwikfcr thesame; I thnhirmer works as long as he can, to im- I prqve his position, and so do I. You have as much right to stop all these working I after , hours for their own good, as ! stop .me selling for myself rf I chose. 1 have as much to say.these men can not earn a fair day's pay if they work at home, etc. I denounce the preamble of the bill when compared with its contents as sheer impudence. Councillor Mark, of Manchester, and tho Grocers' Association there strongly disapprove this bill, and this extract from one meeting is too good to omit:—"His concession of March 7 is, in our opinion, the most monstrous of his* entire proceedings. Cowed by the coster mongers, he offers to let them sell what they like, when thoy liko.otc, but tho tax-paying shopkeeper is to bo restricted at tho whim of a man who understands nothing of their requirements, and whose knowledgo of tho habits of insects and roptiles appears to bo much greater than his acquaintance with the requirements of his fellow creatures, who do not happen to be so fortunately circumstanced as he is himself." ■ Why not fine him for keeping his own servants up such ungodly hours, while ho is squabbling in the House of Commons. My advice is, more honest toil and less bankruptcy ; few men will work too hard when they can do without U. '..;, F. WIIITEUUAD.

School of Applied Science.

(To tho Editor.) ■ , .Sik, —All.honoui' to Professor Brown for his memorandum concerning a School of Applied Science, 1 which wo think can be easily carried out by combining the machinery of tho Auckland College and Grammar .School with that of the University College. The former, as by law established, is bound to open evening classes, if re quired ; and, for the first and second year, the pupils of the School of Applied Science, if they took chemistry and geology at the classes of the University College, could get all the other branches at the evening classes of the Grammar School. In tho third year the advanced mathematics could be taken at the classes of tho University College, leaving the other branches for specialist*. There is a drawing master at the Auckland College and Grammar School, so that school work would be kept out ef the 'University, as ib ought to be.—l am, iScc., Alio.cis.

Church Music.

(To the Editor.): —----• Sib,—Mr E. Hesketh, organist at the< Church of St. Mark, Rettvaera; has lately arrived from England', 'Where he was able to hear the very best music. I think our. organists ought to. take advantage of any hints he can give them. I would suggest to Mr Rice to invite Mr Hesketh to play at St. Sepulchre's some Sunday, and show the organist and choir of thatchureh, and others who are interested, how they play and sing tho chants at Home. Hoping that Mr Rice will see his way to invite Mr Hesketh, and that Mr Hesketh will accept the invita tion and give us some good music—l am, etc., C. H. Lambert.

Long Hours.

"■ (To the Editor;) 5 j Sir,—For the cause that requires your as sistance. If eight hours is the : acknow ledged working day for labour in factories,! ■ laundries, and other places where girls and boys of tender years are employed, how is it, Mr Editor, that the Act is not carried out? They work us with impunity from 7.30 a.m. with a half-hour for dinner,, until u.3Q or (i p.m., and if you say anything about it, "Oh, you .can go. There are plenty to. fill your place." Sir, Ihope and trust, for us pooi girls' sake, you -will try and do something to remedy these eyjls. By. so, doiti" - you not only oblige the writer, but confer a lasting favour upon the community at large.--yours, etc., Constant Reader.

The Jubilee.

(To 'the Editor.) ~-,£ Sir,—Conning over Butler's works last night, I chanced to peruse the following eight lines, which I presume relate to some one of the Roman Pontiffs' Jubilee; to which ode I felt constrained to append the lines bearing my initials, trusting they may strike a note, in the jubilee strain next ensuing :— ■ ' ■ , - >■> One 'Outlook. A jubilee is but a spiritual fair, To expose to sale all sorts of ware, In which his Holiness buys nothing ii» To stock his magazines but deadly sin, And deals in extraordinary crimes, That aro not.rcndiblc at other times ; For, dealing both for Judas and th' High Priest, : He makes a plentifuller trade for Christ. i Anotubk Outlook. A Jubilee is but a national fair, Whereat each sycophant may range his ware, Making bold bid to catch th© Danae shower Of courtly baubles, rained from queenly dower, Swearing allegiance in , fine-phrased heroics : Such fealty ! ye whimpering Stoics That squander wealth on prince and palace,: Look round*ye. Oh 1 blindly callous ! Our poor they starve. Each festering den Is reeking with its wrecks of men ; Reverting savage to the brute, A poisonous, cancerous, spreading root, That 'saps- the nation's warm life-blood, And threatens in wild howling flood To rise and blast a country's lame. .•«* Then rouse ye,.in tho eacred name Of Him ye call your rock, succour, Throw 'way thetiufiel, save the Poor. W.R. Auckland, May 9th, 1887. (To the Editor.) Sir,- Would you kindly allow me a small space on this much - talked -of Queen's Jubilee. You have had sent, and there have been besides a number of suggestions on the best way to celebrate ths event. Of the many, l" think Mr A. Campbell's as good as any, Via.; Maternity Hospital ; but I do not agree with Dv. Ersow's plan for raising the funds for it. I should suggest that the Queen be asked to build and handsomely endow one. If anyone ought to be Jubilant, surely it is herflolf and family, for clii ring the Anne shu has filled her present,position, >ijio has beoa,able to amnstf an immense fortune put of tho money wo have given her, And rro'm all appearances, she loves to hoard it. Sho gives but a very smallamountaway,and whatsho ifl supposod to give i 8 really given by the nation, who have provided her with a private purse for that purpose. Therefore I tldnk tlie least she can do, now hist at a time when almost everybody-!* at their wits' end to know how to make both ends meet, is to spend some of it whllo she Uvea. No doubt if 9ho wad made aware of tho fact that ono' part of her vast dominions was without such a valuable institution she would carry out my suggestion, and com memorate her own Jiibilco in a way that would bo highly appreciated by many a poor mother in ages to come.—l am, etc., J. T. Julian, Auckland.

Trespassing Fowls.

(To the Editor.) Sir,—Your legal advice to "A Constant Reader " in the Star of the 10th inst. is apt to be misleading through not being sufficiently full. The Malicious Injury to Property Act makes it jwnal to destroy poultry, tho punishment for first • orFenco being in the option of tho magistrate imprisonment or a fine, in addition to the value of tho fowls ; for a second offence, after a first con viction, imprisonment euhj, with or with out hard labour. Tho impounding Act authorises the destruction of poultry on fenced land under cultivation, but the land must bo fenced within the meaning of the Fencing Act, and this information you did not give to your correspondent, there by misleading him. - Another Constant Reader. ... [Our correspondent is quite right with regard to the provision as to the land being fenced, and as tho matter appeal's to interest a great many people, wo quote the clause ,wi exitwo from the Impounding. Act, ---1884 : "Tho occupier ef any.fenced or. ii)i . fenced land trespassed on by pigs or goats may rocovor from the owner of such pigs or goats trespass rates at the rate specified in the First Schedule hereto ; and if any pigs or goats* tho property of the same owner shall trespass on such land within the space ef three months after the Bret trespats, such ocoupier may recover from the owner thereof, iii respect of every separate time they shall no trespass, trespass - rates at double the rate specified in the said First Schedule. The occupier of any fenced land in artificial grass or under cultivation may destroy any pig 1 *, goats, or poultry found trespassing upon such land: and tho occupier so de-' straying any «uich animal shall within twenty four hours send in writing a des cription of the animal or animals so destroyed, uncl.of the place woro destroyed, to the owner thereof, if he be known, and if unknown to the nearest police-station, .under a penalty not exceeding ten pounds. It shall not be necessary to send such des cription in the case at' wild pigs so de stroyed." Tho following are the principal definitions of what constitutes a legal fence, under tho Fen ci np Act: —'' 1. A post-and-rail fence, at least 4 feet in height, of substan tial material, firmly erected, with no greater distance between tho rails or between the rails and the ground than 9 inches, and the posts' riot more than $ feet asunder, 2. A substantial upright paling, at least 4 feet in height, with no greater distance between the palings 'than 4 inches. 3V Any paling fence, 4 leek 3 inches high, with posts and two rails, and .baying split or sawu timber placed perpendicularly, and well nailed to both rails, there being not .more .than 4; inches oi'opening between each perpendicu lar piece of timber, '] 4. A substantial wire fence, having not less than seven tightly stretched, or G wires with a top rail, with posts -of duiaible wood- or iron, well and substantially erected, the posts -.or: standards to be ■ not more than 9 feeti apart,, top wire not to be less than 4* •Jfcet | 'from the surface of the ground ; ,and the wires to be not lighter than No. 8 ■in iron or No. 12 in_Bteej. 'The space .be tween; each ef the three bottom wires, or the bottom wire and the ground, not to ex ceed B inches.- A bank!may be substituted 1 for tho lower wires, ( provided always that such bank be well formed, and made up. to within'three inches of the lower wire j pro-: viderl "also that a wooden rail may be sub stituted for the top wire. 5. A stonewall not less than 4 feet in height, exclusive of theeopinc, and not less than 2 feet 6 inches in width at base. - 6. A bank or wall of sub stantial materials, at.the least 4 feet 6 inches in height, ef which the slope.is not more than 1 foot from the perpendicular. 7. A close and sufficient live fence, at least 4 feet; in height; proof against cattle ; euch fences to be kept properly trimmed. 8. A com bination of the above kind; of- fences, at least i feet in hoigbt."] ■

Watcr*>iu*y Watches rf HE WONDERFUL WATERBURY CORRECT TIME FOR 1S«- 6v. BANKERS, MERCHANTS, LAWYERS. All to whom TIME IS OF IM POUT A NCR, READ THIS! Tho triumph of mechanical skill in the watchmaker's art has just received its premier exemplification in the new series of VVaterbuiy watones, which .arrived in this city by. .the." Wairaropa " a few duys since. During tho last decade, immense strides have been mado in the direction of cheapen ing the cost of horological instruments of all descriptions, although, in a great many cases, at the'sacriKce of their accuracy ; but tho idea of a really reliable ami durable watch for tho million, at a price within tho reach of al), originated with, and ''us boon perfected by the Wntorbury Watch Com pany, tho practical outcome of whoso re search is shown in the present improved "E" series of watches, tie fourth which Ihodevelopment of modern suieuce and their, indomitable enterprise has led them to issue within the past seven years. It is not many years since the dream of a handsome re liable watch which would record tho flight ot time with unerring accuracy, and whioh would at the pa me time be obtainable for the comparatively trifling «urn of THI KTK X N SHILLINOH AN I) SIX PENCE, would h^ve been laughed at_ as impracticable and Utopian ; but to-day it is no stretch of imagination, but a folia fact thnt the Water bury ha.t become ayno/iymous over (he wliolo vvorld with reliability, strength, and beauty, and n prime incentive to punr'i.iality in commercial, professional, scholastic, and Hocial life, In these hitjh preiisuro timen, when the attention of think ing man is dirocted toward shortenitip tho hours of labour, and when the keonnoss of home and foreign competition renders it of the utmost importance to secure the greatest output; of wol'k within the recognised hours of business, the po-aession of a really reli able timekeeper entirely oen^es to he a fad, a convenience, or a badge of respectability, but an absolute e&Bential to mrccess. Tho man who miwea his trains, tramp, or steam ers, who neglects his appointment?, or lose* tracko: hia minutes,whoregulateshiaactijnp by a faulty errtitia watch, soon finds himself loTt out«jf the tide of prosperity, and never comes within oooee 01 hie successful neiph ■ bour, the secret of wliolo 6ucco«b is that ho carries a Watorbury, and lives un time. In an action for necessaries in the Supremo Court of Grtat Britain it was long ago decided that a gold watch was not a necessity. A Waterbury, price Thirteen and Sixpence, alwayashows the correct time, which is after all tho great desideratum of a watch, and a hundred guinea jewelled movement cannot possibly do more, and will cost several times the value of a Water bury to repair every time it gets out of order. The clerk, the assistant, the artisan, or the labourer, who ie habitually late, soon gets into bad repute, loses employment, or at least d«Bsr'pvH his chnnco of promotion ; and the threadbare oxcuse, '! Didn't know the time,'1 or " Watch was wrong," is no longer tenable, soeine: that tho valiio of time lost in a single wee'e is frequently suflicient to buy a Waterbury. Every man, woman, or child, who desires to avoid or get rid of the annoyance, uncertainty,.and discomfort of carrying a watch they cannot entirely depend upon, should purchase .1 Waterbury, even if they have to discard their much more expensive but faithless appendages, as many of our bankers, mer chants, railway and Government official?, inspectors of police-, and railway contractors have already done. Remember that the Watorbury is a keyless stem winding watch, unequalled anywhere for accuracy and reliability, and for the strength and beauty of its finish. Price Thirteen and Sixpence; post free, Fourteen and Threepence. Theso watches can be obtained from E. PORTER & CO., QUKEN STREET, AUCKLAND. Educational M~R F. B.
