UNCLE TOM'S CABIN.

CciXEIDERAcr_E preparations are in progress for tho production on a grand scale of the moral and exciting, dramatic version ot Mrs Harriet Beecher Stowc's world-famed novel "Undo Tom's Cabin." The scen ery will be of a most picturesque and elaborate description, and from the brush of three most capable artists. The opening scene of tlio drama—Mr Shelby's plantation, with slaves carousing at sunset, after their day's toil ; the Ohio River, with floating block of cc, and surrounding snow clad country over which tho fugitive Eliza and her boy make their escape from the human bloodhounds. A special che/d'(etwrc t tho realisation of tho Home beyond the skies—a picture of peculiar excellence— will be tho work of Mr Kendal Clai'l.o, F.R.S.A., and lato of the Savoy and Criterion Theatres, London. St. Clare's Woodland Valley home, where tho little child Eva, and tho martyr poor old Tom—Uncle Tom—past some happy days, ia to bo tho work of that ablo and favourite artist, Mr F.

CONCERT AND BALL.

A fair audience gathered in tho Foresters' Hall, Karangahapo Road, on Monday night, to attend tho concer6 and danco which was held under the auspices of tho St. Benedict's Christian Doctrine Society. The concert was preceded by the comedietta "Potts' Perplexities," of which the follow ing wero tho dramatis personh. :— Mr Walsington Potts, Mr James Montague ; Mr Jobstiek, Mr Morrow ; Mr Tittlebntt, Mr Gold water ; Mrs Jobstiek, Miss Willis; Fanny, Miss O'Meara ; Lucy, Miss P.innic Danzie. The programme of the court was also ihteresting. Miss Pannie Danzie sang "Only to Sco Her Fa?e Again," Miss Jenkinson, "Nevermore." Tho voesl duet, " From Our Merry Swiss Home," was sung by Mrs McManus and Miss Willis. Songs were also rendered by Messrs O'Haro and Murphy. Tho Ameri can shoo dance, by Messrs Burke and Roberts, was well rendered, as was also tho American sand jig by the same performers. Mr C. Good sang by request "A Rolling Stons gathers no Moss," and Mr J. Ibbotsori "The Beautiful Girl of Kildare." A song was also nicely rendered by Mrs McManus. The First song and Jig by Mr C.

The Committee deserve great credit for the success of thecot-cert. They desire to thank the ladies and gentlemen who kindly gave their services. ■ '"

FIRE AT THE MUNICIPAL BUILDINGS.

The total damage at bhe Free Public Library building is estimated at about L 270. The building and its contents are covered by insurance to the extent of £30,000. Wo are glad to learn, that the insurance companies have asked for a coroner's enquiry, at which, it may be hoped, some evidence throwing more light upon the mysterious occurrence, will be elicited. Tho building is now under the constant protection qf a night watch man. An impression having gob abroad that there have been two fires in tho New Free Public Library, it is perhaps necessary to state that there has been no fire whatever in tho Auckland library since its removal to the new premises. The first report arose through a telegraphic report of a fire in -the Christchurch Library being erroneously published among local news; tho second fire, as most people known was not in the Library at all but in the Council Chamber, which is ab a considorablo disbance from the Library^ though under tho same roof.

..Tho dog.kennels, are now filled with un registered and ownorloss animals many of whom ...are useless curs of which the city would be well rid. There are, however, one or two nice dogs which it would be a pity to destroy. Any-person in want of "such a dawg" would do well to step round to the kennel. -

At the Choral Society's rehearsal last night Herr Schmitt made a graceful re ference to Mr Charles Hemus's long and valued services as leader of the orchestra and expressed tho hope that every member of the chorus would do hia or her best to pro mote the success of the approaching benefit concert to that gentleman. He said that during tho six years of his own residence in Auckland and probably for many years previously Mr Hemus had been most punctual in his attendance ab re hearsals and performances, and had always done his duty faithfully, artistically and well. Thoro will bo no rehearsal next week.

A meeting of persons desirous of seeing a Reading Room and Literary. lustitute opened in Devonport. and willing to assist in promoting this object takes place in the DevOnport Hall to-night. The meeting has been convened l_»y the) Mayor, and a largo at/tond-woe is desired.
