TABLE TALK.

» Football match a draw. They call it a tie, but it looks like a selL One chance goal kicked for Canterbury. Three hard-won •'tries" got for Auck. land. Advice to Aucklanders—" Try, try, try again !" Clog dance competition at the Minstrels to-night. " Songs of All Nations " by Mr and Mrs Mcßurney at the Choral Hall. "Comb, sweet comb." Lecture on *.* Honey " to-night by Mr I. Hopkins, the well-known bee-keeper. Quite a little " buzz " of excitement over it; lots of folks asking—" To bee or not to bee." The counterfeit presentment of an 'ex- Mayor presented this afternoon to Mr W. R. Waddel. Sir George Grey is expected to go to Christehurch and Dunedin before delivering an address at Wellington. _ Pastor Spurgeon and Miss Newcombehavo visited Thames in connection with the Zenana mission work. Lieutenant Falconer, of the Torpedo Corps, has got orders to go from Auckland to Wellington. Oil dit that recent native disturbances a. Parihaka were gob up by the Government for electioneering purposes. That's all bosh. Doesn't it tell against) the Government to have their " one police man " policy condemned ? Oh, you don't see the dodge. The sole object was to get fifty votes of Government supporters added to the local roll. The A.C. men sent to Opunake are all " sound on the goose," Now I begin to see through the move. Wasn't it the very same little game that was tried in the North with the Hauhau fanatics ? How ? How ? Of course it was a dodge to exalt the Government in the eyes of the Bay of Island settlers, with a view to furthering Mr John Lundon's candida ture. That's a very knowing hobbservation, bub Richard's chances are in no sense "dicky." H.M.S. Opal left Wellingbon for Auck-. land yesberday. The Christehurch Tramway Company have declared a dividend of seven per cent, per annum for the last half year. Dr. Lemon will give every facility for carrying out the electric lighting experi ment in the streets of Auckland. John Rose and D. A. Maclead were each sentenced to bh>ee years' imprisonment at Nelson for forgery. England's puzzle and Pab's charade— -• You rouse my firsb by asking renb for my second, and my whole is my couiftry."— Ire-land. Beautiful spring weather in Auckland to day. Our Weather Prophet is all wrong this time. According to Capt. Edwin, we should now have been enjoying a tremendous north-easterly gale with heavy rainfall. Ah, the gallant captain is a Wellington patriot, and does his level best to send us on all the bad weather he can, but in spite of his forecasts it cf ten refuses to come. An old lady of my acquaintance who studies the meteorological reports looks upon Wellington as a place for the manu facture of bad weather, and Captain Edwin as the wholesale agent for its distribution over the colony. Auckland banks will not reduce the rate of inberesb on fixed deposit for some time yet. Major Mair is presiding over a sitting of the Native Land Court at Paeroa. It is said that out of 25.000 Jews in the city of Amsterdam 10,000 are occupied in the trade of diamond dealing. The fondness of the Jews for that trade is shown by the derivation of the word jeweller}'. Dunedin riflemen are not agreed on the subject of using the Lee-Remington rifle ab the next prize meeting. In a monbh or so Herr Tubschka will give a concert for the benefit of the Kindergarten school. A buggy accident at Parnell yesterday afternoon came near causing serious injury to Mr E. W. Morrison, candidate for Auck land West " How I steered bhe buggy " might form a companion picture toMrConnell's — " How I shipped my mare." On Bbh Sepbember nexb bhe following members of Auckland City Council retire by robabion :— Councillors Abkin (Norbh Ward), Cooper (Ponsonby Ward), Crowbher (East Ward), Davies (Karangahape Ward), Goldie (South Ward), and Parsons (Grafton Ward.) Mr Cobb has married Miss Webb. He knew that they were meant to be joined as soon as he spied her. A movement is on foot for an international exhibition in Shanghai, China, in 1888. The Wellington divorce action, Rush v. Rush—bhe wife's petition on bhe ground of cruelby—has been dismissed, the evidence showing that the petitioner had condoned the offence by cohabitation after the committal of the alleged cruelty. People will rush into the law courts, as into matrimonyviwithoutl-due consideration. See full report of case in another column. Mr Martin Kennedy, of Kennedy Bros., the- Brunner- Coal Goni'paiiy-, is' _fc "piSs's'e'ht, gebbing four iron sbeamers built ab Home. Two are to trade between Greymouth and Melbourne, and two are for the East Coast and Middle Island trade. A ten-roomed house at New Brighton, Canterbury, owned by John Dibbaway, and occupied by the Rev. Wm. Radcliffe, waa burned down yesterday. No one was in bhe house when the fire began. Ib is supposed to have been caused by embers falling from the grate. Insurances, LCU) in the Equi table and L 420 in the Sun Oflice. The law of libel is apparently frightening the newspaper people. A Wellington tele gram speaks of an "alleged charge" oi embezzling LIOO. We will next have the " alleged prisoner brought up by an " alleged" policeman and sentenced to " alleged " imprisonment!
