ART EXHIBITION.

THE OPENING TO-NIGHT.

This evening a joint exhibition of pictures by members of the Auckland Society of Arts and the Mahlstiok Club will bo opened at the Free Library building. The location of the Exhibition is the suite of rooms on the third floor near the tower. This morning Mr C. J). Whilcombe, Secretary to the Art Society and Messrs Atkinson, Holland and other artists were engaged in the onerous duty of hanging tho exhibits. Tlie Mahletick Club as our readers are doubtless aware is an association of artists who meet at regular intervals for conversation on Art topics and the criticism of each other's work. During the past six months the members had de voted their attention almost solely to the illustration of Dometts beautiful poem, "Eanolf and Amohia" and the pictures produced by them on pursuit of this object is one of the most pleasing features of the exhibition. Some of the oil sketches though hurriedly done are remarkably fine. Meflsrs Atkinson and Steele being , , as usual, prominent. A sketch by Mr Atkinson, 'entitled v " Age, ,; is a perfect getii, and will have many admirers. Mr Wright. has some clever sketches in watercolours. To artists, one of the most interesting features of the show will be a number ot Royal Academy studies from the life 'of Mr Bank art, a talented young student of the Royal Academy who has recently settled in Auckland. The same artist also shows an unfinished portrait of an Onehunga pensioner, which in treatment is much superior to most of the life studies shown on . the walls of local exhibitions. Two female , heads from life in oil by the same artist are also meritorious. The " black and white " are with scarcely an exception above the average. MrDrummond being perhaps/aciVe princeps in in this class of work. Some of hia seascapes in black lead are es pecially worthy of mention. Notice able also are several small pictures by Mrs J. M. Clark and Miss K. Ridings. The work of the first - named lady, a most painstaking artist, ever shows im provement, and there is nothing mediocre in any of her drawings. Miss K. Ridings would appear to have a facility for the representa tion of waterfalls. Altogether, there are 79 exhibitors, and they show about 250 pic tures. Eesid es the original production s there is on exhibition a valuable collection of old engravings lent by Mr Hesketh, Mr Albin Martin, and tfther gentlemen. They in clude several by Durer and Walker, the former dating back to the sixteenth century. The exhibition is a marked im provement on the last black and white exhibition held here, and shows a wonderful increase of skill on the part of our artists. The exhibition will be opened to the public this evening by Mr E. A. Mackechnie, and the proceed ings will be enlivened by a vocal ami instrumental concert. Authority has been applied for to the Colonial' Secre tary for permission to hold an Art Union for'the disposal of some of the paintings. Tlwpricb of tickets Avill.-be tixed at a low tjgiue, probably 2s 6(Teacti,

OUR GOLDFIELDS.

Thames, this day,

Trikcb Imperial.—The crushing of 33 loads of quartz and 301b of picked stone produced 54ozs of gold.

School of Mines for Waikato.

Hamilton*, this day.

It is the opinion of those interested in mining matters here that a School of Mines should be established in VVaikato, consider ing that the retiring Government, since they held oflice, have established 24 Schools of Mines in the colony, of which 19 are in the South Island. Upon these grounds tho people of Waikato think they are entitled to a School of Mines, especially as the whole of the Waikato has been proved auriferous.

THE KAPANGA MINE.

SATISFACTORY RETURN,

(FROM OUR OWN" COIIRESPONDENT.)

Couomakdkl, this day. Tiik result of the past month's opera tious at the Kapanga is most encouraging , the return of gold being 456 ounces, valued at £3 10s per ounce, or a total of £1,368. Ifc is believed that the present run of gold will improve as work progresses. Ifc is believed that the gold will con tinue right up to the surface, a distance of some 400 feet. This is quite a new run of gold, and should result in other rich dis coveries being made.

WAITOA TESTS.

Mr George Fkaser has been engaged to-day in treating parcels of stuff brought up by Mr Durward from Waitoa. The tests have not been quite completed yet, but so far they run about 14s worth of bullion to each assay, and in them all the gold resembling filings had been found and under the microscope were shewn to Mr. Durward.

A telegram received from Christchurch to-day states that Waitoa shares have suf fered in consequence of the contradictory reports recently published. They are sell ing to-day ab from 7s 6d to 10s premium.

POLITICAL GOSSIP.

PEACOCK'S IDEAS OF ELECTORAL

REFORM

ALLEGED NEPOTISM.

(BY TELEGRAPH. —SPECIAL REPORTER.)

Wellington, this day. Manufacture of Railway Material. Mil GoLMK, who is proving himself a most valuable member, has secured a boon fo r tho mechanics in several of the larger towns. The Minister of Public Works promised him yesterday Uiat for the future no rail way carriages required at the larger centres of population, such as .Dim edin, Auckland, or Wellington would be sent from Addington, but would be manufactured in the districts where they were required. Mr Goldie has been making inquiries on the subject,, and on Monday visited the railway workshops at Petone, where he found seventy.men employed, and as there' was plenty of work to be done, others were being taken on. The matter will be followed up by inquiries in the House respecting the quantity and value of rail way material sent from Addington to other parts of the colony. Mr. Fish, of Duncdin, and Dr. Newman, of .Wellington, have been acting in conjunction with Mr Goldie in this matter.

Banquet to Mr Fishor.

It has been decided that a public ban quet shall be given to the Hon. Mi , Fisher on Tuesday. It is intended to present' an illuminated address to him on the occasion. A number of M.H.R.'s are expected to be present, amongst whom will probably be Sir Geo. Grey. . Amalgamation of City Constituencies. Mr Peacock intends to make an effort this session to secure an amalgamation of the city and suburban constituencies on a modification of Hare's system of voting, but has not yet decided whether to move by resolution or; bring in a bill to secure his object. ' The effect of the measure would be that if seven seats were amalgamated, electors would have to vote for each of seven candidates. Under this system exceptionally good men would have a better chance of. election than at present, where, in the contest for a single electorate, one is.cerla"'n to be beaten, no matter how pood a representative he- may have made.

DEATH OF MRS McGOWAN.

With unaffected regret we announce the death of Mrs Lachlan McGowan, which took place last night at her late residence in Grey-street, Probably no members of the theatrical profession are so widely known and so highly respected throughout the whole length and breadth ot the Australian colonies as Mr and Mrs McGowan. h\ Auckland they have been deservedly held in the highest estimation both in their capacity as private citizens, and publicly as members of the dramatic profession. Mrs McGowan was a lady of great kindliness of heart and of un blemished character, and as an artiste she was possessed of great aptitude and talent. She was born at Bayswater, near Lonuon, in 1831, and was married to Mr Lachlan Mc- Gowan at Christ Church, Richmond, near Melbourne, in 1857. Excepting a trip Home in 1859, Mr and Mrs McGowan played constantly in tho colonies, and always in the same Company up till 1881, when they settled down in Auckland. Four years ago the deceased lady wasattacked by diabetes and despite all that medical skill and loving attention could do, the dread malady steadily asserted its strength. Mrs Me- Gowan passed tranquilly away at 11 o'clock la.sb nighb, having awaited her end with calm resignation.

A general meeting of the Frozen Meat Company was held at their offices this fore noon for the purpose of confirming the re solution passed at the meeting on 21st September last to reduce the capital of the Company by one - half, The formal confirmation of the resolution was agreed to, and the proceedings termi nated. The Company's capital now stands ab £100,000 in shares of £2 10s each.
