BANQUET TO EARL CARNARVON.

HIS OPINION ON, THE

COLONIES.

Melbourne, November 26th

Sir James Mcßain, President ot Legis lative Council, entertained Earl Car

narvon at a banquet in the Queen's HaJl last evening, at which the Governor and a large and distinguished company were present. SirH. Loch in proposing the health of the guest of the evening eulogised his services both as a statesman, and for the sympathy he had always manifested n the welfare of the colonies.

Replying to the toast, General Carnarvon declared that Australia was taking a place among , European nations. Ho congratu lated the country upon the settlement of .the New Hebrides difficulty, which had only, he said, been achieved afc the cost of Egypt: and the Suez Canal, and the latter was almost as important to Australia as to England. His Lordship concluded by congratu lating the colony upon the speedy progress which was made in the passage of the Naval Defence Forces Bill.

WESLEYAN DISTRICT MEETING.

YESTERDAY AFTERNOON SESSION.

The district meeting resumed its fittings yesterday at quarter past two with devo tional exercises, led by the Rev. J. Dukes.

The case of tliQ "jß. e v. Rameka Waikere puru occupied the attention of the meeting* and thq. rinding of the committee appointed to consider his case was unanimously endorsed, namely, "That Rev. Ra meka Waikerepuru is guilty of in subordination in refusing to supply the do tailed accounts of moneys supplied to him for travelling expenses, as requested by the Home Mission Committee ; also in refusing to return to his circuit, and in disobeying the summons of the ohairman to attend the district meeting." The meeting recom mended to Conference that he cease to be re cognised as a minister ot the" Wesleyan Church. ' Under the question, " What preachers on trial do we recommend to be admitted into full connection at the ensuing Conference ?" the meeting unanimously recommended that the Rev. Samuel Griffith, of Tauranga, be ordained and admitted into full connection ; also that the Rev. Hauraki Paul pass in his year. It was resolved, " That as Rev. Wi Warena Pewa was unable to attend the last Conference for ordination, tho Con ference of 1888 be requested to arrange for hie ordiuation at some convenient time."

A report of the trial sermon preached by tha "Rev. T. A. Joughin was read by Rev. H. H. Lawry, and his book list read by the secretary. After suitable counsel had been tendered Mr Joughin respecting his course of reading, ho was unanimonsly recom mended to the Conference to, pass in his year, subject to his written examination proving satisfactory. After hynm commencing, " Where shall true believers go ?" the obituaries of the late Rev. Hamiora Ngatopi and Martin L. Waiti, native ministers, were read. The Revs. Wallis, H. H. Lawry, Bavin, Gittos,Del low, Salter, andHaurakiPaultestified to the excellent Christian spirit found in the do parted, to their fidelity to truth and to the church of their choice, and to their ex tensive usefulness. It was unanimously de cided that the obituaries as read be for warded to Conference for insertion in the minutes.

The motion re the " In Memoriam " sheet to be printed in the annual minutes was carried unanimously. The meeting rose at half-past four p.m.

Saturday Morning.

The district meeting resumed its sittings at 10 a.m.' The Secretary read Revelation Ist chap., and prayer was offered by the Rev. J. S. Rishworth. Mr George Stephen son, Home Missionary, Raglan, took his seat in the meeting. The Secretary read the record of yesterday's proceedings, which was approved. The preaching appointments for Sunday were considered, and slightly revised. At the request of the Secretary, state ments of the state of the connexional trusts of the district were laid upon the table. The statement did not surprise nor alarm' the meeting, as the Church has been for some years receiving more candidates than can be well employed. It was the convic tion of the meeting that when men are urgently wanted they will be forthcoming to the work.

In the matter of circuit exchange the Rev. S. Lawry moved, " That .wo recom mend to the Conference that the quarterly exchange between Thames and Upper Thames circuits be omitted from the station-sheet as being both unnecessary and expensive." Carried unanimously. It was decided that the annual examina tion of tho Maori students at the Three Kings College take .place next Thursday. Aβ this is a very popular outing it is hoped that the day will be fine, and the examina tion patronised as largely as heretofore. 'Buses will leave the Pitt-street corner for the Three Kings at 9.30 a.m. •The beautiful Cantata, "Daughter of Moab," will be rendered by the Pitt-strOet choir, (assisted by.members of the Choral Society), in the church on Tuesday evening next in aid of the Church Extension Fund.

The Rev. Samuel La wry moved ■.." That this meeting, request that the Conference recommend to the General Conference that in the order of Conference business the question 'Are there any objections to any minister or preacher on trial?' be answered by reading the entry in the several district meeting minutes, the Con ference retaining the right to institute inquiry in any individual case where it may be deemed necessary." Carried. The Secretary called the attention of the meeting to the fact that throughout the whole of New Zealand there are no candi dates for the ministry this year. The Rev. T. G. Carr moved, "That it be a recommendation to the Conference to furnish superintendents with suitable bap tismal cards for presentation to parents on the occasion of thebaptism of their children." Carried unanimously.

The remainder of the morning session was: spent in prayer for a blessing of the Sabbath, and the meeting rose at 12.30.

Captain Edwin advises : N. to W. and S.W. gales, with rain, after 10 hoars from now. GflasS further fall, * Onehungai, tweed suits at 47s 6d, at Smith ana Caughey's.—(ADVT.) Keeping pace with the timea, viz., sup plying the public and placing within the reach of rich and poor that which delights the ladies and keeps the men in good humour, seems to be , the object of Mr R. Gray (now known as the Cheap Cash Draper), who has been the purchaser of Mr IJ; Gilmour'e (Karangahape Road) stock of general drapery attd'clothing at about half the usual :#holesale■cost. This renders hid quite to cope with the bad and pi ess ing times through which we are all park ing, and if Mr Gray only treats the public as well and generously as ;i lie"* did over SneddbnV people of Auckland, will appreciate and value his efforts.

The latter got the benefit of the start, and for the first time round left Wido awake by a length. On talcing the, jump near the start in the second time round Holly went down, inflicting a gash upon his off fore ley. Silvio's staying power told, and he won without being pressed. Sirloin a very bad third. The dividend was £2 13s Od.

The Northern Jockey Club (Whangarei) have decided to hold thoir Summer Meeting on December 26th and 27th. A capital pro gramme has been arranged.

Nominations for the Trial Stakes, Hurdle Race, Thames Plate, Stewards' Handicap, Goldtields Handicap, and Steeple chase, to bo run at tho Thames Jockey Club's Meeting, are due at eight o'clock to-night. The racing mare Friendship was sold yesterday for 112 guineas, Mr Alison, of the North Shore, being the purchaser.

ABBOTT'S OPERA HOUSE.

"CAMILLE."

The Majoronis had a most enthusi astic reception at Abbott's Opera Houho last evening, when Dumas's great masterpiece "Camille" was pro duced with a measure of perfection never boforo witnessed here. The lowo 1 part of tho House was crowded, and a large and fashionable audience tilled the dress circle. From the rit>e of the ourtain till its full the audienoe wore intensely in terested, and the feelings of many were perceptibly affected, oven to teara, by the many telling incidents in the history of the heroine, bo ably depicted by Siguora Majeroni. " Camille "is a queen of fashion in a gay world, and tshe ia introduced to the spec la tor as the companion of a very fast set, with a heavily kuen table and cham pagne corks popping gaily. She hus ad mirers many, but laughs at " love," and in the first act a most amusing interview takes place between her aud tho Count do Var ville, a most pronounced admirer. Camillo receives his declarations in a sportive mood, and ridicules his pretensions. Signora Majeroni's portraturo of the butterfly Camille up to this atago was admirable, and created much amusement, but the interest waxes atrongor when Ax-maud Duval (Signor Majeroni) appears on the scone. Then Camille realises that love is a possibility, and henceforth her life is changed. The interviews between Camille and Armaud wero presented with a skill and truthfulness the nature of which completely carried away tho audience, and bouquets and applause were bestowed upon these talented artistes in rich profusion in every act. Passion, grief, joy, indifference were depicted with power by both, and the scene in which Camille consents to deceive and renounce her lover to sustain the honour of his family was a most excel lent piece of acting. When attacked by an incurable malady and pining to death for her lover she is equally grand, and the final act, in which Armaud returns to her with the full con sent of his family, was worked up.to a most touching conclusion. To see him once more and die was her fate, and be fore the curtain was lowered there was many a tearful eye in the audi ence. Signor Majeroni's Armaud was a masterpiece, and was recognised as such by the spectators of the drama. It was one of his best characters, and those who missed seeing "Camille" undoubtedly missed a great literary treat. The subordinate characters were ably taken. Mr Jewitb did justice to the prominent parb of the Count de Varville, and Mrs George Gordon, as "Madame Prudence," proved most amusing. Lawrence, as Mo'hs Duval, played a fatherly part in a fatherly manner, and Miss Jewitt also deservea mention for the impersonation of " Nannie." For this evening and the last of the Majeroni season, "The Masked Ball " has been in rehearsal. This appears to bo one of the best of the Majeronis , reper toire. It will be interesting to see these clever artistes in this new phase, and this, combined with the high appreciation in which they are held, should insure.. a bumper farewell houso. It may be many years before the opportunity of seeing them again is offered, and it behoves all who have any appreciation of histrionic art to show it by being present at the Opera House to-night.
