FIIICE-ONE PENNY

TABLE TALK.

Waitoa bubble burst.

" Rory O'More" at the Opera House. Mohawk Minstrels open to-mowow night. Gold " on tap " at the Thames foreshore. Two false alarms of fire rang out last? night).

Jα each case the conflagration was caused by afoul"lum." Mr Shakespear, of Lake Takapuna, is a Candidate for Waitemata County Council. An old man dropped dead while at work in a sawmill at Oamaru yesterday; heart disease the cause.

Mr Hursthouse, late M.H.R., was enter tained to dinner at Motueka on Wednesday nighfc. lie stated that he would offer himself for reelection, if a vacancy occurred and he was numerously requisitioned. Mr and Mrs S. Mcßurney are to give one oftheirpopular entertainments atCambridge on 2nd November next. r

The Derwent Valley Railway in Tasmania was opened on September Ist as far as New Norfolk. :

Seven Socialists are < condemned to ba handed at Chicago on llfch November-next. The death is announced of Fordham, the well-known jockey. ~" Three Little Maids from School," at the City Hall on Monday night next; In the Te Bore district the wheat crop i 3 looking exceedingly well. There is talk in Dublin of erecting , a statue of Gladstone in one of the public squares.

Round about Ohaupo the young lambs are remarkably strong. This season there have been very little losses. Mr L. Cussen and his party have com pleted the road survey at Maungakawa without any further interference from the natives.

"Before and After, Marriage,' , by Misa Ruby Greenwood, at the City Hall, on Monday evening next. Good advice to young people. _ Steps aro being taken in Waikato regard ing the culture of beetroot. Mr W. A. Graham,of Hamilton, has issued a pamphlet setting forth its merits as an industry. Messrs Moses Moss and Co., of Sydney, have spent over £50,000 in advertising Wolfe s schnapps. ■ Sir Charles Young, author of the play of Jim the Penman," died suddenly in London on September 11th. From 2nd to 29th August last the farm hands at Lockerbie Estate, Morrinsville, pub 1,060 acres under wheat and oats. The crops are now looking very well.

The second appearance of "Rory O'More" at the Opera House was poorly attended. Probably the inclemency of the weather militated to some extent against the finan cial success of the performance.

There is likely to be a large and fashion able assemblage at the formal opening of the Woollen Mills to-morrow afternoon! It) is a pleasant drive to the mills, and the machinery will be interesting to the fair sex as well as to the commercial public." Invitation tickets can. be. obtained at the Company's office. , The factory adjoins thY racecourse and public reserve. ' .

The 9th of November being a general* lipUday,-;:^'el.;Q6mmitti^' : bf' > Cricket Association have decided to play a grand match on that date, the proceeds to bedevtoted to the objects of the Associa- above-day only one available for the purpose, as all the Satur-, daycare taken tip for Cup ■• matches. Tlie' game to be played ia between the First Eleven and the next eighteen, selected from all the associated clubs of the Auck land Provincial District. This will give: our representative players a chance of play- ; ing together, which is so necessary if they ai'e to be successful in the series of inter proviiicial and other matches to be played this season. It will also give some of our rising cricketers a chance of showing their skill when pitted against an eleven who are good in all departments: of the game. The Selection Committee will no doubt bo able to find some new blood amongst them well worth a trial in a<representative team

Notwithstanding the inclement weather ast evening, there was a good attendance at the weekly meeting of the Burns Club. Mr Peace, senr., occupied the chair. The following programme was gone through :— Pianoforte selection, Mr M. McDermott; song, " Speed On," Mr Mason ; reading, " WattieandMay,"Mr J.

The Ladies of Auckland are now casting about for their new SPRING AND SUMMER DRESSES. The two considerations that weigh of '"most importance may be said to be—Pick and Pjrice. A word of timoly advice, therefore, may aot be out of place. Look around well before buying. Dozena of Ladies select at first sight only to disappoint themselves by seeing an article a few days after that would be much preferred and often- at a lower figure. For instance, a lady remarked only a couple of days since, " Did you see that charming and magnificent lot of prints at Abbott's in Newton 1 I feel quite vexed that I have bought" These were the actual words uttered, and we fear will be the sentiments of not afew, as they review the stock now showing at the abovc-named's establishment In refer ence to which R. H. ABBOTT & CO. wish to say that they have searched the markets m every direction to enable them to place before their patrons a choice, profuse, and unwearying variety of Prints. Hats, Bonnets, and Summer Goods in general, all at as reasonable a figure as it is possible'for them to be got for money. We have now over 1,000 designs in new Prints, and our Stock will be replenished by Novelties by each steamer. We further beg to inform our well-wishers that, notwithstanding theun denied badness of the times, our trade shows an increase of from 50 to 70 per cent month by month upon last year's trade. This is a great proof to us of public encouragement of our endeavours to place before the public an * EXCELLENT VARIETY OF GOODS at the Lowest Obtainable Figure for Cash, and encourages us to still , further efforts on behalf o( our patrons. It has never been a part of our policy to deceive the public in the slightest degree by large advertisements announcing bogus reductions, etc. If we announce a Cheap Line, our customers-can bear us outthatit lias never bfe£n* dver-describecU " We hope this season to open out from time totime Lines as Astonishing as Heretofore, of which announce ment will. be.
