HERR TUTSCHKA'S CHAMBER CONCERT

The first of the series of chamber concerts inaugurated by Herr Tutschka was held on Thursday night in the Choral HaU.Notwith standing the threatening aspect of the weather and the strong counter attractions at the Opera House, there was a fair attendance, many of .the leading musicians of the city being P*«BBn£ That the hall was not crowded is to be lamented, not only for the sake of the pi o moter of the concert, but also °n account o the loss sustained to those who did nob attend in missing such an excellent per 01 ---mance. The programme opened with Schubert's, "Trout Quintette,', lor piano and stringed instruments: piano. •**»« Carrie Wright; violin, Mr J. Chough; viola, Mr 'J. Kelly; 'ceUo, Herr L Tutschka; bass, Mr G. Clutaam. This was rendered with pleasing precision. Miss Alice Rimmer then sang Uorar beautiful solo, "The Blind Girl to Eel Harp." This lady possesses a good voice. The upper notes were very clearly rendered but in the lower register there was at times a harshness that somewhat .marred tic effect. A little careful training should remove this objectionable feature, and make this lady a favourite soloist. Ihe next item was Beethoven's grand Sonata in A major, ' < Kreutzer.» In the performance of this Herr Tutschka displayed dexteious manipulations of the'cello, and MrClut.an officiated at the piano with Ins accustomed skill. The audience attempted to obtain an encore, but the performers simply bowed their acknowledgments. Mrs \\. Jiady next sang "Rest" {h \- Roookel), tho 'cello obligate being effectively played bj Herr Tutschka. Perhaps the greatest in terest centred in the sisters trio, this being the first appearance in this city of the Misses Chew. The pieces selected^ were two movements of Haydn s tno in U Miss Chew presided at the piano, Miss Essie Chew performed on the cello, while Miss Otic Chew, aged 12, displayed wonderful powers in the management of the violin. This little lady appeared perfectly at home both with the instrument and upon the platform. Her manipulation of the bow excited admiration from instrumentalists present. Her notes were struck with a clearness and precision wonderful in so young a performer. The sisters were en thusiastically recalled by the audience but an encore was nob permitted. Mr b. Olut sam terminated the first portion' of the pro gramme with a piano solo " Valse Caprice (Rubenstein), which was brilliantly executed. After the interval the second portion of the proo-rammc opened with Beethoven s "Symphonia Pastorale" (No. VI.), as ar ranged by Herr Louis Tutschka for the pianoforte and stringed instruments. Miss Otic Chew and Mr dough acted as first violins, Miss Chew and Mr Reesing second violins, Messrs Kelly and Gentles violas, Herr Rudolf Patck cello, Mr Clutsam piano, and Herr Tutschka bass. It is needless to state that this item was well rendered and loudly applauded. Mr J7 R. Simpson sang two German volksleider in a very pleasing manner, although there were too many verses in the same simple strain to continue the interest of the audience. Herr Rudolf Patek, of Melbourne, next performed Roever's " Grand Concerto in C minor upon the violoncello, Mr Clutsam ■officiating at the piano. Herr Patek quickly revealed to the audience that he was a perfect master of his instrument. The selection was extremely difficult, but Herr Patek proved quite equal to its re quirements. He played with wonderful ease, and his fingering was well worth watching. This time the audience would not be denied an encore, and Herr Patek played a transcription of Schubert's "Listaire" in a masterly manner. Miss E. Goldsbro' followed with Pinsuti's song, " Sleep on, Dear Love," which she sang in a manner that pleased the audi ence. The violin solo, -"La Muette di Porticci" (Auber), by Miss Otic Chew, was undoubtedly the main feature of the evening. The tender years of the per former, her evident composure,. and real talent all tended to excite the interest of those present. Miss Elsie Hunter next played Spanish dances (Moskowski) upon the piano in a creditable manner. Herr Tutschka is to be complimented upon the excellency of the programme..

CROWN LANDS.-REPORT ON A YEAR'S WORK.

(by telegraph-special .reporter.)

•Wellington, this day. ! The annual report of the Crown Lands Dep artment was laid on the table of the House yesterday afternoon. Mr McKerrow re ports that the main effort of the Lands De partment in this, as in the last few years, has been directed, not to raising revenue by cash rate.? of Crown lands, hut to the promotion of the occupation of the country by a population holding the land on residential and improvement condi tions. This year is ;remar_able for the greater development of this feature. In re spect of the encouragement.offered to set tlers, and in the number of selectors, it is much greater than that of any former year and more than double the usual average. Thus, the number of selections for the 12 months is 2,402, absorbing 245,000 acres, as against an average of 878 selectors and 121,257 acres for each of. the previous eight years, beginning with 1879. .The incr3ase is mainly due to the Special Settle ment and Village Homestead systems, the latter more especially having originated in the endeavour to draft the unemployed from the large towns tb the country. The statement of the year's operations with land sold on immediate payment .shows that L 36,653 was realised j from land sold on deferred payments, L 67,290 ; from agri cultural leases on goldfields, L 1,934; from perpetual leases, L 6,001; from small grazing runs, T 3,805 ; from pastoral rent5,.L170.595; and from miscellaneous, LIB,BOO : making a total of L 305.208.

With regard to the homestead system, Mr McKerrow states that blocks have been opened for selection in /Auckland, West land, Otago and Southland districts, and that during the year 27 selections, covering 4,117 acres^ were made in. Auckland, and 22 in Otago, covering 2,860 acres. The rents from the Crown lands held on pastoral lease or "license have come in very well upon the whole for the year, but there is a Bum of nearly L 3,000 outstanding in Otago, which the lessees in default have not been able to pay as yet, on'account of the great expenseof therabbitpest, and thediminished carrying capacity of the country from the same cause. Part of this money will most likely never be recovered, as several of the back-lying runs have been abandoned, and it is on the mountainous runs that the rabbit difficulty is most felt, for the cost of clearing high-lying country of small carry ing capacity is often found to be more than the thing is worth. By giving long leases at nominal rents (and in other ways the Land Department gives every- encourage ment to the. lessees •to cope with) this great evil, which, although held in check over the old-infested districts, is unfortu nately reported to be extending its ravages by the back country from Otago into Canter bury. : ■ ■' "■ ■

The Season's Legacy.

Particulably at this season of the year when tho fains of autumn descend and chilly nights and mornings foretell the ad vent of whiter,is a common humanibysubjecb to the many ills which flesh is heir to. A severe cold is the legacy of one, congestion of the kidneys and liver of another, while rheumatics and gout rack the bodies—and souls, we might add—of thousands of other unfortunates'. As there is always a cause behind an effect, so is there a reason why, particularly at this .season of the year, there is so much sickness and suffering. _ It can all be summed up. in two words —" im pure blood." Until within the past few years it was nob admitted by the medical profession that rheumatism was a blood disease ; it is now, however, so admitted by the highest authorities, and the methods of treatment have radically changed. In place of oils and blisters and blood-letting — which, perchance, only alleviated for the time being—modern medical science has gone to the root of tho matter, and " purify the blood" has becorao the accepted theory. This is bub reason and common sense. With the blood loaded with uric and lichic acid, constantly depositing gritty crystals about the joints and fibrous tissues, which unite and 'harden under accumulation, causing loss of power, ib is utter folly to expect a euro by outward applications. It is to meet just blieso conditions that Werner's safe rheumatic cure lias been pre pared. Ib has been tried in thousands of cases in Europe and America, and proved to be all that.is claimed for ib. Ab the earnest solicitation of many who have been cured, Messrs H.H. Warner and Co. have re cently added it to their other Safe remedies for sale in the colonies. If your chemist does nob happen to have ib in stock, ask him to procure it for you of his whole saler. Do not accopt any substitute. You have been trying obsolete remedies for years; you have now an opportunity of being not only relieved from the pangs of rheumatism, gout, neuralgia and attendant ills, but absolutely aiid permanently cured by the use of Warner's sale rheumatic cure. Messrs Warner and Co. can furnish thous ands of testimonials, and by permission refer to one, an exceptional case—that of George Moon, Esq., of Williamstown, Victoria, a gentleman G5 years of age, and who for 3. r > years had suffered torture unspeakable. Ho was com pelled to go on crutches when able to move about, was almost blind, his joints were swollen to twice their natural size, and he was indeed in a deplorable condition. After spending almost a fortune seeking relief, Warner's safe rheumatic cure was brought under his notice. Ho began its use as a forlorn hope, with the result that to-day he is completely restored, having thrown away his ciutches, while his eyesight has returned and his joints resumed their normal size. He has been cured for more than nine months, so that! thero can be no mistake about its permanency. This sounds like a bis story, but we refer the sceptical reader to Mr Moon, either personally or through the post. With such a medicine at hand for the alleviation of rheumatism-which often suddenly goes to the heart and causes death is ; it not foolish, nay, criminal to longer suffer? The best effects aro ob tained by alternating "Warner's safe cure with Warner's safe rheumatic cure. Having pure blood, perfect health will necessarily follow, and with that you can defy the bugbear of diminishing health as the seasons change. . .

RAILWAY MANAGEMENT.

Statement by the Minister.

(BY TE-EGUAFII.— PARLIAMENTARY RE POUTER.)

Wellington, this day. The Minister for Works has made a state ment supplementary of Mr Maxwell's report on working railways. He says: "The adverse criticisms which have been made in the House, to the effect that tho statements made that the saving referred to by the Hon. Colonial Treasurer in his Financial Statement are owing to the lessening of traffic, are incorrect, for it will be seen that the total receipts for 1884-85 amounted to L 1,045,712 ; the total expendi ture to L 600.026 ; the tonnage carried to 1,749,856 tons, while the total receipts for the year 18S6-87 amount to L 995,768 ; the total expenditure to L 699,072; the total tonnage carried to 1,747,754 tons. The tonnage carried and the expenditure for tho two periods are practically the same, and the difference in receipts, say L 5,000, is mainly owing to reductions made in rates for local productions. The report further shows that during the same period, the expenditure has only iricfeased by L 9,064 on the past year, over that of 1884- LBS. We have opened, maintained, and worked the traffic on an additional 250 miles of railway, with fifty-three new stations. As regards the estimates for the current year, it has been stated that the expectations of the Government can riot be realised. lam glad to be able to state that so far as we have gone we have good reason to be satisfied. For tlie first four weeks the gross earnings were L 7,133 more than that of last year, which would for purposes of comparison be equal, to any improvement of nearly 1.10,000, while at the same time the expenses were only increased by LB6, again showing that the expenditure does not, as has been stated, increase with the increase of traffic, the fact being our present train services ./ill permit of a still larger increase of traffic without much increase of expenditure."
