According •' to the " San Francised Chronicle," she was under engagement to lecture at England, and also to correspond with the Melbourne " Herald," the Napie* "Evening News," and the Wellington ! "Evening Press." ™ j Annual football match, Beef v. Beer.took , place yesterday: Beer won by eight The knights of the cleaver are anxious to meat their opponents again. They never sausage a defeat as yesterday's before! Sir George Grey has a curious theory: as to the effects of oatmeal diet on Scotch men ; it makes them thriftless, ambitious* and fond of luxuries in their later years. He means that it makes people " stout ;**. look at the effects of Lamb's porridge meal! King Pomare V. of Tahiti has beeal divorced by his Queen; quite a comic opera' incident. i William Stanley, the man so well-known in connection with the Monnt Ronnie trials,' has been arrested in Sydney on a charge o£ forgery. ° j The telegraphic chess match, Dunedin v.- InvercargiD, ended in a draw—each side winning three games. :] A Thames paper says that the committecf of the forthcoming fancy dress ball in con-j nection with Princes-street socials have de-' cided to exclude barmaids.

At Dunedin, yesterday, the certificate of' the Royal Humane Society of Australasia' was publicly presented by the Mayor to D... G. Stephens, who was instrumental in re-i storing to animation after two hours' con tinuous work in the case of Agnes Fer guson, ten years of age. The girl's father and five other children were drowned on the occasion. A good kind of " retrenchment" is the curtailing of irregular expenditure, and the Controller-General is showing zeal in that) and other commendable directions. He has informed Lyttelton Harbour Board that he must disallow certain sums voted to the widow and seven children of the late Pilot Reid and to Captain McLellan, The Controller further stated that unless Parlia ment allowed the amounts he would next year surcharge them on the members when the payments were authorised. Another letter stated that the Board could not over draw at the bank, and if it did the members would be similarly surcharged.
