THE TUTOR RAIL WAY.

PFBIIC MEETING AT

HAWERA

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

Haweua, this clay.

A well attended representative public meeting was held here last Thursday night convened by the Mayor and County Chair man to consider the advisableness of co operating with the Auckland Chamber of Commerce re the Stratford railway.

The following resolutions we're passed without opposition :—" That in viewof the alleged saving in the cost of construc tion and increased prospects of returns via West Coast line, Parliament be peti tioned to obtain further information and reconsider the relative merits of the North Island Central and West Coast Trunk lines."

"That this meeting desire actively to co-operate with the Auckland Chamber of Commerce, and it is prepared to assist in procuring fuller and more exact information as to the quality of land opened up by the Stratford route as compared with that opened by the central route."

An influential Committee including the Mayor, Chairman of the County, and chair men of other local bodies, and others, was appointed to draw up a petition to Parlia ment, and to work with Auckland in any way the latter might suggest. The speakers agreed in stating that they asked for a reconsideration of the question because new evidence since 1884 exposed the unreliability of much of the evidence given that year. They desired that the question should be decided strictly on its merits, but were satisfied that the Stratford route offered superior advantages to the colony.

LECTURE OF "FERNS" AT ONEHUNGA.

Mr C. K. Jeffs re-delivered his lecture on Ferns" in the Stone School-house on Thursday night to a crowded house. The lecture was hardly a recapitulation of the former one, several new subjects being in troduced, and specimens of ferns from the Southern Alps, obtained at an altitude of 7,600 feet above the level of tho sea Mr Jeffs pointed out the large amount of saccharine and mucilagin ous matter contained in some ferns thus adapting them to food purposes. Specimens were also shown which were found fringing the boiling springs of Roto mahana, and others that had grown on the thin crust of mud covering small springs in that district, the crust being so thin that the hands of the person gathering the specimens were unpleasantly hot whilst obtaining them. The lecture was, as on a previous occasion, illustrated, with some 400 specimens. Mr J. D. Jackson officiated as chairman.

PROFESSOR HERBERT AT ONEHUNGA.

On Thursday night, in the Onehunga Pub- He Hall, Prof. Herbert gave an exhibition of hi 3 unprecedented skill as a conjuror to a rather small but thoroughly appreciative audience. The neatness, quickness, dexter ity and cleverness with which each trick was executed elicited well-merited applause. Tho answers to questions from Shakspere's skull, the decapitation business, flower growing, umbrella and pocket-handkerchief tricks, etc., etc., were carried out with that ease and grace; that proclaims the clever prestidigitateur and necromancer. In Professor Herbert wo find one who far excels in his miraculous feats any hitherto seen in the province. We do not 'even draw the line at Buch men as Professor Anderson, Hazlemeyer, Heller, or The Fakir of Olu. Should Professor Herbert again appear; in Onehunga, it may be pre dicted (now that his fame is known) that he will have a bumper house.**

ORANGEISM.

On Wednesday last the Orangemen of Whangarei held a public concert and meet ing. Some capital singing was rendered by lady and gentleman friends of the Order. The Grand Master, the Rev. C. E. Ward, delivered an address on the principles o^ the Order, "the platform of which," he said, " afforded the greatest facilities for the maintenance of civil liberty throughout the Empire." The following resolutions, moved by the Rev. C. E. Ward and seconded by the Rev. J. Hawke, M.A., were carried : —1. " We, the Orangemen of Whangarei and district, tender our brethren in Ireland in this time of peril and anxiety, the assur ance of our hearty sympathy in their noble eflbits to maintain the supremacy of the. Im perial Parliament and the integrity of the united Kingdom." 2. "We hereby record our unchanging fidelity to the principles of the Orange Institution, and will defend to the utmost the union of Great Britain, Ireland, and tho colonies." The Orange men of Auckland will celebrate the landing of the Prince of Orange, William 111, in England by attending divine service on Sunday afternoon, Nov.- 6th, in the Franklin Road Church, when the Grand Master will deliver an appropriate sermon.

Pole Jump.—This was one of the excit ing contests of the day* Only three com petitors came forward (Messrs La Trobe, Dean, and T. Schnackenberg). The latter was tho first to fall out, and then ensued a keen contest between Dean and La Trobe. The latter had tho advantage from tho fact that in crossing the bar he turned, whereas Dean shot right over, and consquently whon he had reached seven feeb the heaviest portion of his body touched the cross bar, and compelled him to retire. La Trobe, knowing his own capabilities, continued raising the bar until it began to be a question to get men tall enough to raise it. At length, when the top peg had been cleared, the cross bar waß put on the top of tho posts, when Mr La Trobe re tired. His last jump was 7ft 8-^in.

ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE SHORTS.

A most successful entertainment in aid O£ the school sports was given at.St. John' s College last Thursday. The programme, which was of a varied character, was divided into three parts, and was capitally rendered by the pupils of the school and a con tingent of friends, under the able manage ment of the Misses M. and C. Taylor. The first item, a pianoforte duet, " Marche Militaire," was very tastefully played by the Misses M. and C. Taylor. The same young ladies then gave a very pleasing in terpretation of Glover's beautiful vocal duet * «The Wind and the Harp." This was fol lowed by a violin solo, "A Cavatma, from Donizetti's "L'Elisin d'Amore,' playod by little Master Harold King, accompanied by Martin H. Bury. A carefully renderad sone, "When tiie Tide Comes In," w« next given by Miss M. Taylor. A song, "The Chorister," by Master W. Heather, and a Latin ode sung by the. school choir, brought the first part of. the programme to an end The second part consisted of four admirably arranged tableaux vivants by the Misses Taylor ;and their.friends The subjects represented were, (1) "Queen Catherines Prow." (2) "a WM to*

" Patience," (3) " Cinderella and the Glass Slipper," (4) "A Gipsy Encampment." These tableaux were most artistically put on the stage, and reflected great credit upon all who took part in them. The other items of the second part were a recitation by Master Ivon Motion (vociferously encored), another recitation by Master C. Buckland, and an interesting duet, "Valse et Sohottische," for pianoforte and violin, played by the tvvo youngest boys in the school, Martin Claud Heather and Harold King. The third part of the programme was the well-known but always taking farce " Bumbastes Furioso," which was remark ably well acted by the pupils of the school under the able management of Mr H. H. Perring, one of the assistant mastei-s. Mr H. H. Perring appeared aB King of Utopia ; Mastov F. Brodie, Fubas Marks ; T. Seccombe, General Bumbastes ; and Master H.Bury, Dislaffina.

THE AUCKLAND ROWING CLUB.

The Auckland Rowing Club was formed in 1867, and up till a few years back held a leading place in rowing matters. There waa a largo number of members, a good stock of boats and a shed, but the reclamation works took away its shed, and it_ then ceased to exist as an aquatic institution. With the in creased interest taken in rowing, however, and the generally felt want experienced for another central club, an effort is being made to resuscitate the old club, and with that purpose a meeting was held on Thurs day night, in the Imperial Hotel, of those in terested in it. There was a large meeting, and Mr Thos. Henderson was called to the chair. Several matters of importance were discussed, and it was decided to revive the club, and a committee consisting of Messrs C. Dacro, James, Younghusband, Baker, Bcggs, and T. Henderson, were elected to canvass for members and make somearrange ments for the club before the next meeting, which is to be held next Tuesday evening,to elect officers, etc. A plan for a new shed. 60 x 30 was submitted to the meeting to be erected on the site recently granted by the Harbour Board, between Hobson-strcet and the Dock, and adjoining tho Waitemata Boating Club's shed. The shed will be replete witli every convenience, and it is intended to obtain a number of pleasure boats as well ajrboats for racing purposes.
