HOW SHALL THE QUEEN'S JUBILEE BE CELEBRATED?

Slie Auckland Committee's Becoiniucndations.

to the Mayor's advertisement convening a public meeting to receive the report of the Jubilee Celebration Committee appointed on the sth insbant, between thirty and forty persons assembled at the Art Gal lery last night, the inclemency of the weather amply accounting for the meagre attend ance Amongst those present) were the Beys. G. B. Monro, D. Bruce, P. Mason 5r Purchas, Messrs W. R. Waddel (Cliair jjjph of Harbour Board), A. Bell, and F; His Worship the Mayor took the chair ab !(j go p.m., and opened the proceedings by reading the resolutions passed ab the last meetingi .and recounting what the Com mittee had since done. Ho then read the Committee's report, which was as follows :— ('The Committee appointed by the public meeting Md. in the Now Zealand In surance Company's Buildings, Auck land °n Tueejlay, the sth day of April, 1887, 'having considered the resolutions then passed and the various •ingestions raade ab the meebing.and since, Wtotte best manner of celebrating the Jubilee Day in Auckland, and of establish ing somejO nnanonfc memorial in memory of & Q Been ' s Jub jj lee . beg to report as follows, vfe-: The Committee recommend tint Jabileo Day, the 21st June, 18S7, be observed in Auckland. 1. By request ino- ihe friendly societies and other societies in "Auckland and suburbs to form proces sionson the afternoon of that day. 2. That the Government he requested to run the trains int° Auckland on that day up to 12 tjdoni '"'" 3. Th'afc a united thanksgiving serrice should be held in some public place on the afternoon of that day. i- That the Government public bodies, corporations and citizens be invited to illuminate all buildings, offices, shops andresidonces under their control or in their occupation from 7-30 p.m.to 10 p.m.on that day: o- That a display of fireworks take place pn the summit of Mount Eden at 9p.m.on that day.at a cost of not exceeding , £30. 6. That subscriptions be collected to defray the expenses of and incidental to Jubilee Day. The Committee further re commend •:' (1) That a permanent local memorial of , the . Queen's Jubilee be established by purchasing a collection of pictures,, to be called the Jubilee Collection, for the Art Gallery, Freo Public Library Buildings, Auckland, and that the first picture purchased be a painting of Her Majesty the Queen ; (2) and that a popular eubeoription be initiated to purchase such Jubilee collection of pictures. The Com mittee suggest that the. various religious denominations hold a thanksgiving eervica in their respective places of wprsMp on the morning of the Sunday preceding the Jubilee Day." The Mayor said that the Committeo had been unanimous as to the suggestions for the day, and also as to the purchase of pic tures for the Art Gallery. There was, how ever, soniti difference of opinion upon the point of purchasing a painting of the Queen, eomeihinking. a statue should be pur chased instead. It remained frr.the meet ing to decide whether they should adjourn for a larger meeting or proceed at once. _ Mr George Staines remarked upon the ab sence of any representation of the working (fee 3, and for that reason, in view sof the #jrather, he advised an adjournment.

"■■■■lit P. Larkins oppos.-d the "Suggestion, 'Hpressing the opinion as he did so that there was a representation of the working cfam It .was very kind of Mr Staines.to "issi&f they, '.were all .wealthy menybut the? irere neyertheless, . The meet ing should go on, and, if necessary, a' -fete meeting could be summoned to con firm their resolutions. ■

The Chairman approved this view of the natter,-and then read a letter (published elsewhere) which he had received from Sir God. Grey, promising to present three valu able gil paintings to the Jubilee collection. He considered that the gifts of Sir George Grey and others would stimulate other con tributions of pictures, and money for the purchase of pictures, as well as loans of valuable paintings. He strongly commended the suggestion re a Jubilee collection of pictures.- A good many people had written to him; approving the idea, A different suggestion was contained in a letter (pubr lisned elsewhere) from Sir Frederick Whitaker, suggesting that the bulk of the money should be given to the Imperial Insti tute, whilst our own local celebration of the Jubilee should be as unpretentious ,as pos sible! As to the Imperial Institute, that was amatter for colonial concern, but we wanted some local permanent memorial of the Jubilee. In conclusion, he formally moved the adoption of the report. , Mr F. Larkins seconded.

Mr J. M. McLachlan wished to know how the necessary funds were to be col lected. A very large sum of money would be required. This matter should have been gone into more fully, and some organised plan, put before' the meeting. It struck him that Auckland was destitute of statues, and ™ preferred a handsome statue to a collec tion of pictures. Ho agreed, to a con stable' extent, also with Sir Frederick 'VWiaker's suggestion. At any rate, there was-need for a larger expression of public opinion. ' . . ii'c'ri Dr. Purchas thought the last speaker must have walked about with his eyes shut jfhen he said there were no statues in Auck ™d. He favoured the adoption of the report, but did not see the use of spending $Wey on- illuminations. A'Whitcombe also supported the report. .On the motion of the K'ev. G-. B. Monro "as resolved to put the various clauses of to the meeting seriatim. Mayor then moved the adoption of recommending the purchase of a wjlee collection of pictures. ■ -■ The Eev. 6. B. Monro seconded; ■*t McLachlan thought it somewhat of an to have in the same city two Art ™lleries. Opposition was no doubt the life "trade, and perhaps it was so in the pic line.•-■' He would suggest that a statue p J l6 . Queen bo erected outside the Art uaUery as a permanent memorial of Jubilee, %• He would not stipulate that the rtoe should be one of Her Majesty : let it jeeven Sir George Grey, or the man who fciped to build that Gallery •wMayor : f Who'sthat, sir? •■"■■ *lr McLachlan: Costley. , ■ ■, Ane Mayor: Oh, he did nothing towards rebuilding of the Gallery. Key.-D. Bruce was of opinion that they aad better confine their attention to . the Section. , A statue worthy of the occasion Wo «M cost too much. Mr Chamberlain said that at Windsor a of the Queen recently erected cost *j>2oo. H e deplored the meagre attend «?oe, and said that if the movement had to do honour to Her majesty's Uog or pony, it should have been m °re enthusiastically taken up. f . Wr W. R. VVaddel, as a member of a mendly society, did not think the times so SOouthat men would purchase outfits to ™archin procession. It would be iinpos «We to purchase a statue. As for the tire *°tks display, £30 was not-a sufficient sum '° expend in that direction ; for i-300 a would be secured. He thought employers should be''asked to place sub- PPtiou lists before their employes on pay ..clause was then carried.: .■- ■ '<■ -'• '. \i ,j Pur chaiHuggested that the recom jndation with reference to the purchase, ", a «oil painting of the Queen. shouULibe. r w ed to stand over.

MUNICIPAL ASSOCIATION.

In pursuance of the resolution adopted at tho meeting of tho City Council, tho Town Clerk, Mr P. A. Philips, has taken steps to forward the following circular to tho Mayors of the various Municipal Corpora tions of the colony :—" Sir,—l have the honour to forward you a copy of resolution unanimously passed by this Council, and to request your co-operation therewith, viz., ' That it is desirable a Municipal Association of the whole colony should be established in order to watch over and pro tect the interests, rights, and privileges of Municipal Corporations, to take action in relation to any subject affecting municipal legislation, and to promote the efficient carrying out of municipal government throughout tho colony ; that the various municipalities in the colony be invited to co-operate and appoint a delogato to the first meeting of the Association; to bo held in Wellington .during the ensuing session of Parliament, and thereafter at such times and in such places as the Conference may determine.' And to ask that if your Coun cil agree with the proposal they will at once nominate a delegate and kindly notify me to that effect. I have copies of the objects and, regularibions of kindred associa tions already established for many years in the Australian Colonies, which I shall be very glad to place at tho disposal of tho Association, — (Signed) P. A. Piulu'S."

TEMPERANCE LESSON BOOK FOR PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

At the meeting of tho Board of Education yesterday afternoon, Mr Theo. Cooler moved—" That the resolution of.the Board, dated 12th December, 1886, prescribing certain arrangements for tho teaching of temperance in the public schools be altered by the omission, of the words ",at the discretion of the-Committee.' , He said that from inquiries made by him he liad ascertained that, the reso ; lution passed at tho annual meeting of city householders objecting to the intro duction of the temperance lesson book did not represent the wishes of the householders of the district. The meeting at which it was passed was rowdy in the extreme. A greab number of persons, were there who it was impossible to say were householders or not. They were evidently there for a pur pose, and consequently the resolution re ferred to did. not-jrepresent the wishes of the district itself. He wiehed to know if the temperance lesson book were a reading book — whether it was necessary or merely optional for each child to have it. He would not like to inflict much cost upon tho parents, ana he would therefore like to ascertain the real cost of introducing the books, and to have some report upon Mr Upton's suggestion to procure, sots of Yaggi's Physiological Charts, which would answer the same purpose. The Chairman mentioned that 25 sets of Yaggi's charts would cost £210. .Mr Lennox, thought that instead of "floundering about" in uncertainty it would be better for Mr Cooper to first get such information as he wanted, and then bring forward his motion-. A calculation was then made as to the cost of introducing the temperance lesson books. The result was that ifc would cost £322 '103 .to introduce the larger lesson book to Standards IV., V., and VI., and £75 to introduce the smaller lesson book to Standard 111.

On Mr Cooper's application, tho motion was then deferred for a month, pending the arrival of Yaggi's chares.

THE YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN

The annual meeting of the V.M.C. Associa tion, as advertised in this issue, takes place on Friday evening next, and judging by the speakers and subjects, it should be worthy of the new building and well attended. The Committee are very anxious that a largo number of young men should attend this meeting, as information will be given by Messrs F. Bartley and J. Lamb (who will address the meeting) as to the winter work of the institution and all its advantages to the youth of oitr city. Addresses will also be given by O. C. Mc- Millan, on " Thrift;" Rev. James Chew, on " Associates ;" JRev. Thomas Splifgeon, on " Makeshifts ;" and the President, who will occupy the chair, has promised an ad dress on " Drift." Special hymns will be sung. Admission will be free, but a col lection will be taken up on behalf of the Building Fund. Wo feel sure that when the public and the young men hear what the Committee have arranged for their benefit during the winter way of classes,'such as book-lceeping, sing ing, shorthand, medibal talks, homely talks, Debating Society, Evidence Society, Chess and Swimming Clubs, &0., they will not long "allow the debt to remain on the building. .If everyone will do some thing, the debt will soon be a thing of the past. . • •■ ■■ • -■- ■.

Cure of the Tobacco Appetite.

Glenelg, S.A., June 20, 1886.-Having suffered from a severe pain in my back and neck for a long time, together with lan guid, tired feelings, loss of appetite and sleep, I tried Warner's safe cure. After taking one bottle I found great relief, and after taking three bottles the pain was com pletely gone. I can now eat, sleep, and go about my duties quite well. I would also state I was a heavy smoker for thirty-six years. After taking the first bottle the appetite left me, and now eight months have elapsed and I have had no liking for the pipe since.—ALEX.-KERB;

Bull waited 68 a deputation from the Minis ters' Association and Anglican Clerical meeting to urge the Board to establish a free night school tor neglected boys, as a means of combatting the evil of larrikinism. Archdeacon Dudley explained that the resolution was the outcome of a con ference of the above bodies upon the subject of our neglected youth.—The' JRew H. Bull said the evil wa3 being coped with advantageously by private effort, but the Board's assistance was also requisite. Mr Cooper pointed out that Section 8C of the Education Act barred them from taking the step suggested. Day schools were the only free schools contemplated by the Act. The Board might give tho use of a room, gas, and books.—Mr Goldio did not think the Act had the eflect Mr Cooper had staged. The only mistake the ministers had made was in calling tho school one for " neglected youth." llie lads they wanted to meet especially werefactorylads or youths of any kind.
