WINTER TENNIS.

The Newmarket Bowling and Tennis Club have arranged to open their asphalt courts on Saturday next, 30th inst., and as this? will be a grepb event in the amuiis.of this most popular gnrao in 4«cklnnd, invita tions bavo been sent to all the Clubs in the city and suburbs, so that tennis playei-s will muster in groat force at Newmarket on Saturday, Mr E. P. Hudson, Hon. Secretary Tennis Associa tion, has undertaken 'Hid "duly.of selecting eight accomplished players to open the '.courts, which .the committee thought the best way of entertaining1 their visitors, and for the gjofy of the gome and the occasion. We' desire to place on record that the Newmarket Bowling and Tennis Club is the first and only club possessing asphalt courts in Auokland r and is certainly the only club in New Zealand having courts whera saw dust has taken the place of stone-a .secret composition having been used to toVghen and consolidate. The only asphalt court be fore those was one of Sir Frederick Whita ker'gjat his former residence in Emily Place. It shows great enterprise on the, part of the Newmarket Olub, .now only ini'tji.e firat year of its - existence,-, undertaking ;sufeh' a, work,- especially as it was somewhat of an experiment, and is a matter of great; satisfaction to. Mr Jesse ICing, the HonbviiryjSecrotary, that his scheme Is sijch a: pronounced success. There are some 1,100 square yards of asphalt laid— ample space for two courts. . Tho ■courts have been permanently marked out in paint. Three substantial and ornamental pillafa are erected, two being' 3ft. j the centre one' 3ftl Bin, high, Tb,ere,ftro movable props Bft. 6in., and in the centre of baoh court Is lot in the ground a block Iriwhioh is a screw holo into which screws an-iron rod 3 feet with a hook which xlraws the net down to thei required height. These were designed by the New Zealand Timber Company from hints given by.WriE. V. Hudson.! Wire netting: guards are;also-erected far keep the baJls in the ',eourta.; The Newmarket Bowling and Tennisv'Ciub is not only the first club to introduce i asphalt tennis courts hqre, but hiust be, recognised aa tho father of winter tennis in Auckland. Impressed by the rapid, strides the game had made in iMelhourne, finding that it was even more popular in wiiHer than irt summer, and that asphalt"courts'!woro fast displacing turf, for, they Sverei found truer and saved tho expense necessary for keeping turf in pertect order, arid havjjig learnt all about tliis n'crtr «net. inexpensive composition, Mr King was led to induce Ilia Club to undortake the work. There is little doubt but that now winter tennis in hbbufc .to starls many of the clubs will lay down those courts, which cost about half of the ordinary asphalt,'' and are much better for tennis. The, Committee of th« Club tender their thanks to Mr Elliot, of the Eailwsy work shops, for giving therequired sawdust/rOe of chorge. Tboy also desire ua to say that spfcial pruiee'.iß due to Messrs Knight and Fowler, city n?pb.a!ters, for the faithful 'manner in which they oxocuted tho work of mjakjn.gand layjngtho asphalt. Inconc|ußipjj, wo ninyiitld that di W^ understaiitl that tho Gaa Qompn,ny hav^ d Eupef&blihdanco of ;thrj fthd are JciQking.'ouji (qr. hijw uWes for it, they might gracefully, follow the examplo of Mr Elliott, aai, they will reap future benefit in niany ways^nd the jNewma'rket Club took'the risk 'of demon strating this new usa for tar. AVe.con gratulote, the Nowmarkbfe; Bowli»»g and Tennis Club for their pluck, and wish them tbo fuccesV they well morit.

ADDRESS BY MR CADMAN.

(D?-ffELEORAP«-O^N COBBESifONDENI1.)

Thames, Tuesday.' MR CABiJAh', M.H.R., for Cofomandel, ad dressed tho Thames portion of hiJ constit uents last night in the Kaftwaeranga Boys' School, there being* very l^rge attendance of-electors. Writ. T. Douglas prepided. Mr Cadman, who tras well recoived, de tailed at some length the provisions -of the Countie? Act and Minea Act, showing-how each affected this district. It was often made to appear that large rates went to tho SouUi Island for water races, and sludge chaunels ; but lie pointed out that these were owned by the Government, who main- Wn«dtUem and received profits, while the Thames x&ce h«d been banded to the Thanae*.County Council, v/hb made a profit of £1000 a year by it. Regarding the Re presentation Bill, he pai(J it would receive h{B suppcH-t, vrfall« tavrould, favor a fed uc tipni in the number of menibersof theHousev tbo AbolitioU of the Legislative Council, otid a ttimi Tax. At the conclusion pf the speech he was afjqorded a unariimourv'W of thanks and. confidence. . :

MELODY IN SPEECH.

Pleasant Sounds Mot i Everywhere If .' Only Lookod FoX iio o"fi-r; ,

•There Is ani infinite variety of interesting and pleasing sounds ih Nature's musio around us, that may bo iioted by $ri St\ tentivo • ear ; those -sounds' me mo=ily melodious nnd barmoniou?, or in some harmonious connection and form exact in tervals and chords. Tbo wind, in passingl over houses,' over trees, jn gardons,rielde,and forests, produces beautiful Bounds of every variety, swelling frora the softest to tho loudest in majestic grandeur. Thunder strikes us with awe by ite deep rolling sounds : a storm or galo on land or on tho ocean sends forth fierce and sublime Bounds, rushing from the lowest to tho highest pitch ; the stately flow of a great river sings an everlasting organ-pien, while tho lively brook sings melodiously, and modulates like human speech. Tho suspended wires of an.electric telegraph, when vibrated by a strong wind, produce touching and wailing sounds and chords over a whole country, like so many harps, of "sweet ana sad sounds that may, from solemn strains and most perfect ideal harmonies, rise in dn indescribable and inimitable crescendo, higher and ihigher, to moans and discords, and with the abating wind return to harmony.

All tho animals on land, quadrupeds and bipeds, have their characteristic voicos and calls in distinct intervals. Of our domestic animals, the cow gives a perfect fifth and octave tenth. The dog barks in a fifth or fourth. Tho donkey in coarse voico brays i:i a perfect obtave. The horse neighs in a descent on the chromatic scale. Tho cat whon excited at night on the roof at' in the garden may howl over an extended com pass, and at times give criea like those of an infant,

The hens, geese and ducks in a farm yard chatter in pleasing Chorus, and proud chantlbleer cocks, piercing solos be ween, aro in tho' diminished triad and seventh chord,

The birds in bushes and tt fe<^<, in gardens and ■woods, sing- most beautiful tones in exact intervals, even in melodious cliords and in measured tipie.. •' ' .Animals of the same speciosj^ary in their musical gift,, as. they ao,;in other pointf. Someanimals are.very jfond'of music and are greatly ifffijcted by iv,while others are insensible or i^uite averse to it; of tho for merthe horse has^ already in remote ariti qiuty'been meniibriod for'.-it3 joy at the spOndjqf t;lie.i-*FUHipot,;.ais-vHre ££$!■ in .the book pi Job (xxxix, 25). A- touching ' pr6of of this oldvjiruth was given in,.; the la^e Francq-Gi3rnian;:war,. vhen ' iri the eveh inff' i:after:J^ths^*at)iflo** >'of ■ Gravelofcte, ohthe trumpet signal for theroll-oall of tho Life Guards more than three hundred' rid'or less..Uorses,. some ot tljem wo,unded and hbbbling bo three,;logs, answered the well- Itnown ■ eoundij and imißtored with the remnant of their regiment. Of the night", ingale ib is said that in 'spring tho malos perch on a tree opposite the ,hens and sing their best one after another; whereupon tlie heris select their mates and ilyp/FwitJ). them. ..' .

The intervals .we observe most in the voices of animals are fifths, octaves,' and thirds, and also fourths and sixths. • The human voice in speaking uses also these intervals foremost, but' it moves also over most of tho .other intervals in'melo dious and- harmonious 'combinations. ' We speak in -melodies: and >harmoniesp impro vising tlierii by the impulse of our thoughts and feelings over an extent' or compass of one and a half or /two octaves ; as every plant grows with a certain colour, so evecy sentence is sjwken in some melody which rises iv synipathy with the sense and senti ment of the words, giving'1 Character to' the Ivhole sentence ', and from the quality-and accent of. this musical investment, tho truth and sincerity of the words mdy be felt, and the character of the speaker traced... ••. .-■ .. • ; .:■ :•■ .. ' !

In "inanimate' sounding bodies,' as in church bolls, in tho larger strings of tho piano,.in tho iEolian harp (or wind harp); tbe'nfbh and tenth {or third in the nexb higher octave), commonly called hannoriies,* are very distinctly heard toward the ond.of the principalsonnd. - "Longman's Journal.'!

The erroneous idea that , medical men are not bound to divulge undei! oath what they may learn in their.profossionial capa city received ft cheek at,Christehurch on WpHUSy during tfa■bearing of tHo cMj-go against Martha.Jano'BJyfch.iJr. .Bake-. woll,.who was called aa a witness, refused to ho sworn, alleging that he knew nothing of tho case £xc&jjfc what he hdjl henrd in confidence from1 th*S patient, and that: ho could not divulge, it. Inspector Pendcr said ho considered Dr. Bakeweil's cvi-: denee should be taken. He had a particular reason for "wishing it, as Dr.; BakeweH' hod previously written to hitn,i accusing medical men and tho polico of sending the accused to him in order toi entrap him into a committal of an offence. Dr. BakeweU said that the woman's con duct certainly made him: suspicious thnt' such" was the, case. He was. not sure that it was riot so. The polioo tried to entrap publicans into doing illccal things, and mighbtry to, entrop otho'r?, Ho did not see that his evidence, would?be of importance, as he was not sure that tho, 'accused; was the woman had come to him : at all events, ho could not say. unless she raised her veil. Accused lifted her veil; Dr. Bakewcll: said ,thnb he; could not swear to her identity. Inspector Pender said if Dr. Bakewell would swear that in the .witness-box it would bo sufficient. Dr. Bakewell said if •he wont into the box he would probably be apfced other questions. He riyas riot going to bo entrapped; into either breaking hia oath or giving'.faUe evidence. Mr Boa Hie, tlio presiding J. P.. said that ihe course for tho Bench was'dear. If Dr. BakcivoH objected to bo sworn they would adjourn tho ca*e for eiuh't day* and commit-him to prison. Dr. Bakewell finally consented to be sworn* and deposed that ho did not know the accused.
