TABLE TALK

Splendid holiday weather. Been to the races to-day ? No ; went to the Volunteer Review. "Hazel Kirke" in the Opera House to night. Last week of the excellent Comedy Com pany. " \. Dr. Lynn, the magician, opens on Mon day next, .Oh yes; remember being mystified by him at the Egyptian Hall ever so long ago. Another Maori dead* from the effects of that beefsteak pie. Indeed I The innocent beefsteak pie is becoming an important civilising agency. The Maoris have agreed to a post mortem examination of the latest victim. No doubt they will " t.«,pu" the doctor who cuts up the departed brother, the house where it is done, and all the im plements need. More sensible if they would " tapu " beefsteak pie 1 Mr Deakin, of Victoria, has declined the offer of knlghthood,and Mr Wisdom of New South Wales, has not jet decided to accept •of it. Ah ! Modest men, I suppose. Not a bit of it. They want to be coaxed ■and brought into notice. Or to show their sturdy democratic inde pendence by declining the decorative bauble. That's it. Wisdom, is justified of her children. Wellington cricketers arrive to-morrow morning. Yes, and start play almost immediately. I see they gave the Hawke's Bay boys a good beating. An innings and,lo2 runs to the good. The Wellington fellows are crack players. Heenan seems to " take the belt. He made 146 runs not out. Any friend of the great " bruiser," I wonder? Another good player is called Gore. Our boys are no doubt thirsting for gore, but they may get too much of it I The captain of the barque Ada Melmore lias been fined £50 for not carrying lights at sea. Serve him jolly weU'right; Ijm only sorry somebody can't be got at criminally fo- 'i_L disaster. A Masonic lodge is to be opened at Te Awamutu on Monday next. So I observe. The dispensation under the English constitution has just arrived. Admiral Fairfax has arrived to take charge of the Australian fleet. He is staying with Sir Henry Loch at Melbourne in the meantime. The man who kicks a banana skin off the sidewalk does more good than the man who sends 10s to the heathen. That's a heathen maxim, I fear, but the man who leaves banana skins on the pave ment ehould be fined 10s. '-•'".■ I A serious fire broke cut in the Aldorshot camp the other day, and despite the strenuous exertions of the military fire brigades, the infantry quarters were com pletely destroyed. Wonder how the soldiers behaved " under firtf??/ Hokianga County Council are petitioning Government to open up other 10,000 acres of land as village settlement. That looks as though the settlements al ready planted there were turning out sue-' cessful Don't know, the County Council are interested parties and want to get in as many additional taxpayers as possible. Oh, you're too sceptical altogether, and always impute the worst motives. The Australian mail question is still un settled. It is believed that the steamship com- , panics have again modified their tenders, i : - It is announced that Chief Justice Barley, of New South Wales, has been knighted. Oh, that's nothing to the flood of knight hoods we shall have on the 24th of May. Economical Scots 1 The Dunedin Cor poration will spend about £30 on Jubilee rejoicings. Well, you don't measure loyalty by tbe amount of money r squandered, do you ? What are they going to do ? They have decided to draw up and tot- P. ward an address through the Governor, to illuminate the Town Hall on the 21st of June, and to expend £2710s for a pyrotech-' nic display, to be under the charge of the ' fire brigade., .'";'. ./ That's very good. It may not be grand, but as the Scottish bard says—" To make a, ■ happy fireside clime for bairns and wife, that's the true pathos and sublime of human life!" '. AA ,■ A :■,■:.: . i

THE DUNEDIN PRESS ON THE MINISTERIAL SPEECHES.

(BY TELEBRAPH'---bWS- COBEB3PONDiNT, j :'; C ; ; '_! Dunedin, this day. _.-■■' The " Star," criticising the Ministerial addresses, says: "On two points public opinion will hold Mr Ballance to have blundered. The proposal to con stitute ar'Judicial' committee of Parlia ment to sit in judgment oh the Supreme Court is such ■'- a transparent absurdity as to be beneath the dignity of serious com ment, but silly as this is, worse remains. Mr Ballance -spoke, it is- hoped, for - - himself, and not for the Ministry, . Since the delivery of Mr Ball&nce's speech ' ' a greater than he has Bpoken at Christ church. We seek in vain for any indication of policy, we rise from a perusal of the speech no wiser than before, but more firmly impressed with the conviction thab nothingness than the removal of Sir J. Vogel from the Councils of State will amend our condition at Home, or-improve -our'credit" f abroad." Discussing the Ministerial addresses, the Otago "Daily Times" says: "There is no reason to lose faith in the! colony be cause of i tbe levity of its leaders, but if we wish to restore confidence and ,; attract capital and population, we must insist upon having ballast in the Go vernment. We must, stop. their flights of fancy at a serious crisis,- and entrust the conduct of affairs to .serious men who will -. feel a weight of responsibility and make themselves respected . *'

SACRED CONCERT.

A successi-ol concert of escred music was given on Friday in the Opera House by Mr Popley's choir,'tho programme being obini * ~ posed of Jubilee hymns, from the Fisk--.- Srngers' repertoire and oratorial selection's! The choir consisted of fourteen boys and■-"'• five adults, via.rsoprano, contralto, male alte, tenor, and bass. Mr Poo ley acted as r * accompanyist. In the larger concerted pieces the youngsters manifested con- • siderable : proficiency, the result, ofn careful and judicious training. They were heard to greatest advantage in the Jubilee hymns, "Steal Away to^jesus." "This Old Time Religion; •*•'-;.« "The Work's Being Doae," and "I've Beeh\,Redeemed," and were'least effective in the\motett "Hear My Prayer," the , soprauo:. solo portions of which Mrs Pooley'' sang tastefully. The Jubilee hymns, although well enough done, fall ~; tame and fiat after the characteristic per formance of the professional dingers, The quartette, "God is a Spirit ". (by Madame Pooley, and Messrs Kenrick, Burn ham, and Bjsli), and the tenor solo, "pt, i With all Your Hearts," by Mr Tom Bum bom, were the best items of the firel half of : the programme, the quartette being very nicely rendered, and Mr Burroham singing the number from "Elijah■">ith marfcM^Seist. Mr Renrick (male alto) contrihiijti!d;tte solo "But the Lord is Mindful of flis'Pwni" In the Eecond part of thej>roff»nnße a couple of,quartettes were t»st2lsM <%£??> via-» " Come, Everyone ; TJ>*°.
