AUCKLAND, N.Z., TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1887.

PBICE-ONE PENNY

TABLE TALK.

*_ Election excitement increasing. Two Church soirees to-night. Auckland nominations all over. Honolulu elections took place ou Septem ber 12th. Always a trusty citizen.—The pawn broker. Captain Cotton has left for London. Cotton is a pedestrian : his other name 13 "Walker." Annexation craze spreading. England wants Peru and Venezuela. The Matamata Racing Club will hold their annual meeting on Saturday next. (iermany will be content with Holland. : Exit France from the New Hebrides. In return she gets her little linger into the Egyptian pie. The situation is one of " pi" (printers'). Good at a pinch—The crab. Hanson Turton,anold Wellington settler, died somewhat suddenly last Sunday night. Be checked for silence, but nevej.l taxed for speech. . Some folks in City West think that silence would have been golden yesterday. The Roman Catholics of Oamaru have subscribed £100 towards the fund for pre sentation to Bishop Moran. A fine art exhibition will be opened ab Wellington on 29th October. In New York they have got soda water down to 2 cents per glass, and the glasses are large at that. Yet the price of whiskey keeps steady, and there is no sign of enlarging the glass. Doesn't look like a temperance victory, after all. J Captain Jas. Davidson, who was the actual discoverer of the first relics of the Arctic expedition under Sir John Franklin, is now a resident of Kaikoura. A convict jusfc released from a ten-years' imprisonment in Pennsylvania killed one of the jurors who convicted him, " L'Electricite c'estlavie" to the tram way Companies. The introduction of elec tric motors to tramcars in Auckland is a possibility. The women of Nebraska have planted 50,000 trees during the last three years. Queen Margherita, of Italy, has estab lished an asylum for the blind in the Baths of Diocbtian at Rome. Sloan's theatre, afc Invercargill, was offered for sale by auction on Saturday, and was bought in for .£SO over the mortgage. A society for promoting social purity is being .started in Christchurch. At Timaru yesterday, an information against a publican for allowing gambling on his licensed premises was dismissed, as it was not shown that the licensee was aware that gambling was being carried on. A young man put his collarbone out at Makaraka, near Gisborne, the other day whilst playing leapfrog. As showing the interest taken in politics by the country people, it is noteworthy that/ Mr Campbell was.unable to get an audience together in the Hamilton Public Hall on Saturday night, only one elector toning up. A Miss Henn, who was engaged to a Mr Pecker, recently broke off the engagement, because she objected to the marriage notice appearing as "Henn-Pecker." > .. : ■ •■•.■■•. r

If we were to a3k each nerson who reads this advertisement what should be the essential qualities of a .good Ethiopian Comedian, wo would get varied answers. Exponents of this tine of comedy indulge in so many different ways of amusing their patrons that it would be narct to concentrate in any one persou all those qualities which might make him an ideal artist. But we may safely say that WAL. COTTIER AND CHAS. FANING have, combined, as great a store of fun and as great a source of pure, unalloyed wit as any two Comedians that have ever appeared in the southern Hemisphere. They rely upon no extraneous aid or butfooneiy, but utilise their amusing faculties in such a way as to cause as hearty a laugh as is ever heard in a theatre. TO-NIGHT! A GREAT PROGRAMME.
