TABLE TALK.

' ' ~' ! God ble6S the Prince of Wales.. So say all the Holiday-makers. Two pantomime performance? to-night. Military display at the City Hall. Band of Hope champions at St. James's Hall. The Thames "Advertiser" has again changed hands. ■• There was heavy rain at Sydney yester. day. A cricket match with Shaw and Lilly, white's team takes place there to-day. At Melbourne Vernon's cricket team to* day play a Victorian eleven. The debate on the Financial Statement is proceeding at Wellington. Our legislators are true patriots; they declined to take a holiday to-day. The Canterbury members have not g'ona to the races, lest the Midland Railway interests should be neglected. .Commissioner Howard, of the Salvation Army, left Auckland for Wellington yester day. Herr Reischck, the naturalist, is expected back in Auckland early next year. It is said that Te Kooti has made up his mind to leave for Poverty Bay oh the Bth of December next. Boehm's statue of Her Majesty the Queen has been shipped to Sydney by the Oroya. I Captain Harrison, of Franklin Road, has just returned from a trip to England. He says the poor people at Home are patiently enduring such distress as he hopes never to see here. Beach and Hanlan are doing well in their? training for the forthcoming championship match. Gaudaur has injured his back, and will therefore be unable to row for two months. At Wellington to-day, a general holiday is being observed, but the weather is over cast and threatening. In order to make a family record of the** ] depression, an Onehunga woman has named. her recently-born son " Hard Times." Rev. H. Driver, of Wellington, does nofj approve of the step taken by Rev. C. H. Spurgeon in leaving the Baptist Union. He fears that it will stop the ra-pproche t ment of the General and Particular Baptists, and lead to the formation Of a new sect. Onehunga has now three tanneries, a woollen factory, an ironwork and a sawmill. Not bad for " sleepy hollow !" . I In a church at Henderson last Sunday, the close atmosphere sent one of the wor shippers to sleep, whereupon the parson stopped his discourse until the sleeper watf awakened. « Ellerslie people are said to be making inquiries as to when the Onehunga water works are likely to be completed, evidently with a, view of obtaining a water supply therefrom. At Wellington yesterday; the petitioners, in the Bryce-Hutchison election .petition were ordered to give particulars of the charges in , detail, specifying names and dates. One of the most mournful things in nature must always be the inevitable ten dency of the young man in love to imagino himself a poet. .'.,. -, ; ■'-..■ 3 Editor of " Titbits " (having glanced ab contributor's joke)— Where's the other ? Contributor — Other ? There isn't any other.. Editor — Urn! I thought Noah, took two of every kind into the ark..
