TABLE TALK.

Nothixg in the Opera House. Dr. Lynn opens to-morrow (Tuesday) night. Lots of fun in the City Hall to-night. The clown and " Cheap John >: combina tion, eh ? Just so ; laughable competitions, baby show, and all that sort of thing. There's to be some fun to-night at the meeting of Tattersall's Club. Oh, those sporting gents must have their sport 1 suppose. What's the particular racket ? A regular naval engagement—Admiral Drake and an Auckland •' book " rustling around. Is it over the scratching of Drake's horse '{ You've just hit it. Allegations are made as to his motives for doing so, and they arts to have it out to-night. A " bookie " has been hard hit and wants to repudiate all bets, while I hear that a pugilist has been retained on the other side to compel payment, Talking of horse-racing, did you hear that lon mot over the running of Lazarus ab Takapuna Races on Saturday lost? No ; was it good '( Rather ! A well-known sport was yell ing out, "I'll back Lazarus for a place !" when a friend quietly said, "Don't bs foolish ! Have you not suilicient Scriptural knowledge to know that Lazarus came fourth ?" Not bad ; but you don't mean to insinuate that Lazarus was a "stiff un." Oh.no, poor beggar ! He simply could'nfc do any better, and was "nowhere" in the race. The man who backs Lazarus won't be a Dives in a harry. _ Sony to hear the Sheriff has been ill ever since he officiated ac the Great Barrier execution. Very serious throat affection, I believe ? Yes ; but Caflrey and Perm contracted a much more fatal " throat affection " that morning, didn't they ? Hush, you heartless joker ! You deserve a rope's-end yourself ! "What has come of the Volunteer troubles ? Our Auckland arrests and court martial will not come before the public again until the action for damages is heard, but I see the Wellington Volunteers got into trouble on their way home from the Taranaki canip. How so 1 Oh, at Palmerston North the noble citizen soldiers Avere not allowed to enter the pubs., so they turned their attention to horseflesh. Two Volunteers took possession of horses and'galloped madlyroundjthe town. The horse-owner attacked a man named Pike, who had taken one of the horses, and a number of Volunteers attacked the civilian. Seeing this, a number of civilians joined in the ani-ay, and a number of blows were ex changed, Pike deservedly getting a good share. Fortunately the train started off, and the redcoats thought discretion the better part of valour when their passage was iv question, and fled. There are grave complaints of the blackguardly behaviour of the Volunteers. They have some, ■wonderful folk 3 down Taranaki way—one man there is as good as a couple elsewhere. What do you mean ? Simply this. In a New Plymouth news paper I see the following advertisement : — " Wanted,.by an experienced man, a situa tion as a working manager, shepherd, or married couple, on farm or station." Ha, ha ! Must be an experienced man if he is able to act as " married couple !" Still these Taranakians are no fools. I see one of them is arranging for a cargo of fat cattle being sent to Sydney direct. A good idea ; for beef is fetching 27s pc 1001b in Sydney just now, and it will b worth 3s more in a few weeks. Mr Brame, the lecturer to the Industrial Association, commences a series of lectures in the country districts at Hamilton to night He will get a good reception there, and no doubt local committees will be organised to help in the work of the Association. The "spirits" have got into Court in Queensland. How so - somebody up for drunkenness ? Not exactly. A spiritualistic medium, known as Professor Pepper, summoned William Widdop for specific performance of contract for the transfer of certain land. Defendant leased the ground, with the option of purchase, provided gold could not be discovered on it, an alleged dis covery, based on the prophetic predictions of a spirit medium, having been reported. Defendant tested the ground, but declined to fulfil the agreement, Verdict for plain tifi'.
