AUCKLAND, N.Z., MONDAY, JULY 35.. 1887.

PRICE-ONE PENNY.

TABLE TALK.

The Prince of Wales is not dead.

Probably nei^r is Stanley. Three politick meetings to-night. Mr Mitchelson at Mount Eden Hall. Mr Tole and the electors of Newton ad St. Sepulchre's schoolroom. The old Colonial Hand will put the Young Colonials up to a wrinkle or two in the Choral Hall. The Crimes Act has been put promptly into operation. Nearly the whole of Ire land has been " proclaimed " under it. Hon. G. Waldegrave reached London on 14th June. The Wellington Building and Invest ment Society have declared a dividend of 8 per cent, per annum. j A large export trade in horses has set in I from New Zealand to Australia. Yes; it is a mistake to pronounce the \ name of the Island Continent "Horsetra-; lia;" they can't raise horses there at all equal to those of Maoriland. A meeting takes place to-night to arrange for the annual football match, Beef v. Beer. There are 3,000 natives at work on the gmnfields at Tairua. Bay of Plenty. The other day, about forty more from Te Puke ! left to try their luck there. .. | On dit that Mr Arkell's costs in his de-1 feated compensation claim against the City Council foot up to about LSOO. As usual, i the lawyers scoop the pool, the 12 special j jurors getting only 72 guineas for six days'! confinement. " ] Upon the form displayed in the North ' Shore v. Ponsonby football match of Satur- j day week, Patterson (the fast and active | Shore speeler), and G. Wynyard and G. •' Mills (very hard-working forwards of North ' Shore and Ponsonby respectively) have been ! wisely added to the 37 possibles for the inter-provincial matches. Auckland's greatest want is a good place kicker. When is he to be found ? Perhaps some of the country districts could supply one. • I A lad named Lowe had his shoulder dis-! located while playing football at Thames on Saturday. A trifle of that sort will not, however, deter our boys from engaging in the " brutai game." Scottish dancing competition comes oft next week ; articles signed and date fixed. . Mr Haszard, Government surveyor, is ab present cutting up land beyond Wairangi in 200-acre sections for perpetual leasing.. About 3,000 acres are to be cut up. A Civil Service Supply Association Aa i projected for New Zealand on the same' lines as the London Society of the same name. Gold and silver have been proved to exist in a large reef in Te Puke district) (Tauranga), and a test is being made as to whether the reef will prove payable. The German authorities are putting down sedition in Alsace with a firm hand. Eight Alsatian soldiers have been arrested at Mayence, a city in Hesse- Darmstadt, Germany, for conspiracy with the Patriotic League. A vessel described by telegraph as the Forth of Olna, bound to London, is believed to have been lost in a cyclone in January. The wife of a N. S. W. professional man is taking proceedings for divorce on the al leged ground that her husband—she speaks bluntly—" keeps a harem." The B. M. at Hamilton the other day sent a lad named Thomas ..Green to the training school, near Auckland, for five years. His father made the application, and said that the lad was beyond his management. Father McGlynn, of New York, appears to be a vigorously eccentric individual. At a meeting in New York he said : "I am nob here to defend killing the Czar, but I am herd to do full justice to the man who follows the dictates of his conscience and. thinks it necessary to kill the Czar/ Hard times at Christchureh. It is pro posed to pay the men employed on relief works at the rate of 2s 6d to 4s fid per day. The men who were drowned during the gale in Wellington harbour had a big funeral at the Hutt yesterday.

William Storey is in custody at Christ, church charged with passing aforged cheque. Of course he has a "story" to tell to ex plain the matter.

"Erected to the memory of -who was shot, as a mark of affection, by his brother !" That's a genuine epitaph from some where ; but New Zealand has not quite come up to it yet.

A Canterbury youth named Thomas Sherwood was.however, on Friday last shot by his brother in mistake for a rabbit. His epitaph will not be wanted for some time, as he is likely to recover.

The Melbourne Lord's Day Observance Society '' expressed regret that Lord Brassey should have chosen the Sabbath for the public exhibition of the Sunbeam, a desecration which was aggravated by a charge being made for admission." Mrs G. H. W. Hill, travelling correspon dent of the London " Morning Post," arrives in Auckland to-morrow, to "do" the Hot Lakes.

Eight men, one boy, and three women of the Melbourne Salvation Army have gone to India to minister to the heathen, taking with them L' 2,600 cash.

At Hydenham "Barracks" Christchureh the Salvationists h.acl..,a " state "wedding " on the occasion of the nuptials of " Cap tain " Lane and " Lieutenant " Trickle back. Which. was.th# bride ..and'.'which the bridegroom is not very clear. [■
