TABLE TALK.

_* , Mother, is the battle over ? Bet your boots it is ! " It was a noble victory." City West—David and Goliah. " Railway Reform " of no a-Vaile ! Ponsonby—The Wright man in the Wrong: place. | Parnell—Moss elected; no need to Sey-1 mour. J Newton — The Ministerial scapegoat.: " Alas, poor Yorick !" j Waitemata—The Monk beat the Reader; always said he Wood ! j Ejected from Eden—Oh, what a " Fall "j was there, my countrymen ! "j The gray mare was not the better horse", in that case. The voters were well " Shep-! herded." j " Pale death with equal foot," &c—When j Connell and Mitchelson met at Waikomiti I they stood on an equal footing; they polled ] 21 votes each. Marsden.—The sturdy country electors "took the bull by the horns." Sent him to Old Hornie, eh ? Manukau—Jolly Sir Maurice in again. Considering his liability to bronchitis, it would have been cruel to leave him " out in the cold." Rodney—The Palmer sent on his pilgrim age, Colbeck called back, Hudson a bad third. So Moat it be! j Bay of Islands.—Hans Breitmann "has strong hobbs dot Richard's himself again."! Lundon just missed it by an "ell." Lun-i don is undone ! j Max Rinkle will tell the audience how he; voted at the Agricultural Hall to-night. Keen contests in Franklin North andj South, but the Major has a clear " Major " ity In Waipa, while in Waikato Mr Whyte 1 makes his opponent rustle (Russell) around ! j At Thames the gallant Colonel comes vic torious out of the Fray-sir; but atCoro-j mandel Mr Cadman's antagonist has not; proved "the real Mackay." The Kelly Gang have " stuck up " Tauranga. Last night of the musical drama of " Guy i Mannering " at the Opera House. ' Rev. J. S. Hill gives his last cookery! lesson at the V.M.C.A. Rooms to-night, j prior to leaving for the South, An English gentleman not long ago ad-. vertised for a general servant " who must be a plain cook and an earnest deist." Mr; Hill probably wishes to qualify Auckland; girls for such a situation. j Another Maori perjury case before the^ Supreme Court. -As counsel-for the defence) have mercifully withdrawn, the jury will* not be punished very severely. i When it comes to trying to find a Scotch j Jew guilty of perjury the Court seems to! be powerless. Thanks to the learned Earl, " the Campbells are coming" off Scot! free ! , Caution to little boys who think it is a j smart thing to jump off or rm a, cart in j motion.—Two accidents from this cause are reported; a .boy named Davidson, of One- j hunga, and Henry Co wen, of ?i.\Tewmarket,' are injured more or less seriously. ! A recent writer states tha Jo "in the city ! of New York, there are 3.2,000 children; under twelve years of age v 7,000 of whom, have no shelter, not knowing at morning! where,they can sleep at night, and the restji having shelters revolting to behold." Yesterday Mr Dever.eaux, an old settler j at the Hutt, died suddenly after register-) ing his vote. Decerned had been ailing for' sometime, andw^s aged 65. Hhe voted <! .on the right sir„ e , his friends will say—; Ditlceet decdrur/i est pro patria mori. ! The Christchurch elections are said toj have passed off quietly, with the help of j "a li„fetle egg and flour-throwing." At! Napier, Mr Ormond was stoned by an ex- j ci-p;d mob. T_tev. R. Dale, the noted Congregational-; is.t, has arrived in Melbourne, and it is< 'understood that after a stay there and ab Sydney he will pay a visit to New Zealand. At Christchurch yesterday, nine cyclists competed in the 50-mile bicycle race. The .race was won by R. Bargrove, Pioneer Club, who started from scratch, and did the fifty miles in three hours and thirty-five minutes, lowering the record by eight minutes. Now that the Stout-Vogel Government is no. more, those " booming times " are in vited to come on. The following remarks by Sir F. Dillon Bell are commended to the attention of croakers:—"lf you are in clined to doubt the possibilities of the future, turn your thoughts back to the dawn of this century wheri the first census was taken, and bear in mind that there were fewer people then in the United King dom of Great Britain and Ireland than there are now in the colonies of the Empire. Yet at that time England owed a thousand millions of money, and had overcome a world in arms." ! " Mamma," said a little three-year-old, j " my mouth always feels hungry, as if ib] wanted something always in it." Thej punster mutters something about "all of a I twist," who was always wanting " more." j

Gentlemen,—Some months ago it was de. termined by ballot which of two Directors simultaneously elected should retire, arid the ballot having been determined in my favour, I considered the matter so far settled that in my circular letter I felt iustifled in stating that'*l am not now standing for re-election as a Director." But the parties to the ballot now assert tha* the manner of so determining which Director should retire and wbioh remain was not war ranted by the Articles of Association, and that it 'will be necessary for me to be re-elected in order to retain my seat on the Direc tory. I deem it, therefore, advisable to draw attention to the fact, in explanation of the delay which has occurred in my appeal to your selves, and to state that I intend to offer myself for re-election as a Director at the next Ordinary General Meeting of the Shareholders. I am, &c, HENRY CHAMBERLIN. THE Best Gift for Home friends is Brett's Auckland Almanac, containing a Pictorial Representation of Queen-street, De scription of the Provincial District, New Guide to Hot Lake, &c, &c

ADVICE TO LADIES. The Ladies of Auckland are now casting about i for their new SPRING AND SUMMER DRESSES. The two considerations that weigh of most importance may be said to be—Pick and Price. I A word of timely advice, therefore, may not be ■ out of place. Look around well before buying. Dozens of Ladies select at first sight only to disappoint themselves by seeing an article a few days after that would be much preferred and often at a lower figure. For instance, a lady remarked only a couple of days since, " Did you see that charming and* magnificent lot of prints, at Abbott's in Newton ? I feel quite vexed that I have bought." These were the actual words; uttered, and we fear will he the sentiments of not afew, as they review the stock now showing at-the above-named's establishment. In refer- ■ ence to which R. H. ABBOTT & CO. wish to say that they have searched the markets in every direction to enable them to place before their patrons a choice, profuse, and unwearying* variety of Prints, Hats, Bonnets, and, Summer Goods in general, all at as reasonable a figure as it is possible for them to be got for money. We have now over 1,000 designs in new Prints,' and our Stock will he replenished by Novelties] by each steamer. We further beg to inform^ our well-wishers that, notwithstanding theun denied badness of the times, our trade shows ani increase of from 50 to 70 per cent, month by! month upon last year's trade. This is a great] proof to us of public encouragement of our endeavours to place before the public an A "EXCELIENT VARIETY OF GOODS r at the Lowest Obtainable Figure for Cash, ani; encourages us to still further efforts on behalf ot our patrons. It has never been a part of our policy to deceive the public in the slightest degree by large advertisements announcing bogus reductions, etc. If we announce a CheaD Line, our customers can hear ua out that it lufi never been over-described. We hope tW_T season to open out from time to time Lines as Astonishing as Heretofore, of which announoa ment will be given. Besides offering Good Value and a Splendid Assortment of Beiges, Prints, Millinery, and Season Goods in general, we have Just Opened a Job Line of BoyaC Youths', and small Men's Flax Shirts of Good j , Quality, at Is. each. The regular value of these" is fully from Is. 9d. to 2s. 6d., at R. H.
