CORRESPONDENCE.

The Exeter Theatre.

(To the Editor.)

I SIR,— Be the Exeter calamity, Mr Lacblan j McGowan is evidently unaware that the I building just destroyed was quite new. It : was far from completion when I left Exeter j in- October last, and could barely have ! been ready for the Christmas pantomime i which Mrs Sidney Herbert Basing had in !';preparation. I may sixy that the Company i who built it were so anxious to provide a | really good theatre that they sought them j out a London architect who was supposed ! to be superior to a.l local men because he was t a specialist in theatrical architecture. Well j.do I remember the howls of indignation j-from the Exeter men and their friends be ' cause they were slighted. The building now . referred to was situated at the junction of ! Longbrook-street and the New North Road, | and consequently had two street frontages. | The old theatre, which Mr Lachlan Me . Gowan remembers, stood in Bedford Circus, • until destroyed by tire about two years ! since. This correction may be of interest !to your readers, and Devonshire people in I particular.—Yours, &c, Thos. White.

The Hospital Staff.

(To the Editor.) Biß,— Having studied the correspondence re Hospital management in your columns, permit me to trespass further on your space. It seems to me that the Hos pital and Charitable Aid Board manifest gross ignorance as to the management of the institution under discussion. . The Board has, in direct opposition to all sug gestions made by the most experienced medical men in the city, decided to appoint one man to undertake what to any sen sible person must seem an impossibility viz., to. incur all. tho responsibility, now resting on six of the most talented members of the profession. For my own part, I believe that it will be some time before tho Board finds a man who has perfected himself in medical science and has no more to learn.

Two of the allegations made against the Visiting Staff are to my own knowledge •utterly untrue, viz., That they neglect the Hospital patients for their private practice, and that they are irregular in attendance. As the term of office of the present v ßoard expires in so short a time, surely it would be better to wait until after the election before taking so important a step, and thus convince the public that due consideration has been taken for the poor and sick under their charge.—l am, sir, C. S. S. George. Grafton Road, 10th September, 1887.

TELEGRAMS.

Wellington, this day.

The inquest on Walker showed that death resulted from, cancer in the stomach. The pain, caused,,Kim to refuse, food, and -ledifjal evidence showed- that death must hav&reStrited in a short time in any case.

The '- patriots " who are promoting the petition to the British House of Commons praying for Imperial interference in our domestic affairs, are still angling for signa tures. They keep their own identity scrupulously in the background, but are paying a man to look after the petition, and yesterday he was having quite a field-day with the people from the country districts, many signing under the mistaken belief that they were simply recording thek protest against excessive taxation. In A-eply to a request as to the authors and promoters of this contemptible manoeuvre, the man in charge declined to disclose their names. It is said that about 1,000 signatures are now appended to this dis honouring petition,' and if it is pressed to the point of being forwarded to England, the New .Zealand Parliament should con sider seriously whether a special act ought not to be 'passed disfranchising those who openly avow their disbelief in the ability of the colonists to govern them selves. Whole constituencies have before now been disfranchised for less cogent reasons.

THE MAORI ELECTIONS.

(BY TELEGRAPH—PRESS ASSOCIATION.)

Wellington, this day. The final returns for the Eastern Maori district give Carroll 1,298 votes; Wipere, 1,112 ; Warbrick, 571; Taiwhanga, 424. In the Western district Taipua heads the list with 1,402 ; Te Wheoro, 1,029 ; Toke toio, 152 ; Onnsby, 134 ; Mete Kingi, 37.

There are several returns yet to come, which will affect only Taipua, Onnsby and Mete Kingi. The latest figures from Southern Maori electorate show : — Ellison, 88 ; Pratt, 83; Kahu, 79; Tikao, 71.. Five more returns are to come, which it is ex pected will' place Mr Pratt ahead. It is said more interest had been taken by tho natives in this election than in former ones, more votes having been polled, and moie candidates come forward.™
