[by telegraph—own reporter.] Wellington, this day. Fire Proof Plaster. Mr J. B. Blaikie, who arrived from Auck land yesterday, interviewed the Minister of Public Works to-day in company with Mr T. Thompson in order to combat objections to his fire-roof plaster made by an Auckland contractor. He submitted testimonials, opinions of an expert, photographs and working model. Mr Mitchelson appeared to be quite satisfied. Defence of Auckland. I hear bhatMajor-General Sella w considers thjib one torpedo boat for Auckland and one for Wellington are totally inade quate, and will recommend that the. defences of these harbours be augmented by the employment of the launches at present ab Lyttelton and Porb Chalmers. He thinks that Port Chalmers could be safely blocked in an hour, and thab mines and batteries will bo ample for the defence of both ib and Lybtclton.

INCIPIENT FIRES.

About 10.45 p.m. yestorday Constable Dewes, while at tho Kyber Pass Firo Brigade station, observed a glare of fire in Mr Sandall's window opposite, and at tho samo time Mr Sandall burst open the window and cried out "Fire." The constable entered the premises and ran upstairs, where ho found Mr Sandall extinguishing a iiro in the curtains with a pillow and all danger was over in a moment. Mr Sandall stated that he was lying in bed reading with a light, and gradually dozed oil", when the paper fell out of his hands and caught tho flame of tho candle, thence communicating the fire to the blind and curtains.

Another incipient fire was discovered at about 1.15 p.m. on tho 16th in a shed occupied by Mr Fozer, wheelrighfc, in Kyber Pass Road. The iiro commenced in a bag of shavings, and tho only damage done was that tlie side of the shed was lightly charred.

POLITICAL FINANCIAL REFORM ASSOCIATION.

(To tho Editor.)

Sir, —I much regret feeling obliged to cor rect Mr J. M. Shcra's statement in your issue of Saturday. Mr Khcra is in error in saying, "No committee meeting was called to discuss tho matter about which tho telegram was sent." There was a meeting, regularly called, to deal with the business whicli might come before the committee, The matter alluded to was formally considered, and a conclusion deliberately arrived at by the meeting. Moreover there was a very considerable attendance of members of committee. If any reso lution was come to which was distaste ful to absent members every member of com mittee would, I am sure, regret it. Tho committee would only be too glad were Mr Shera present at all the meetings ; and had he kindly made a little more inquiry, I have no doubt would have seen that it was quite within the compass of the duties of that particular meeting to deal with the question alluded to in his letter.—l am, etc.,

"FUN ON THE BRISTOL"

The Agricultural Hall was crowded on Saturday evening by an enthusiastic audi ence, all eager to make the acquaintance of the widow O'Bree-on. The piece was staged in a highly creditable manner, the artistic scenery being the production of Mr Williams and his staff of assistants. " Fun on the Bristol ". has been so frequently performed in this city of late, that any description of the musical oddity would be unnecessary. Suffice it to say that Mr Johnnie Collins won golden opinions as the Widow O'Bree-on, and his ap pearance, on the stage was the sig nal for loud applause. Miss Bella Perman and Miss Laura Roberts also deserve men tion for the manner in which they performed their various parts. Tne songs and dances were well received and many of the items were encored by the audience who appeared to fully relish the many absurdities of this comical production. "Fun on the Bristol" will be repeated this evening until further notice. Those who are in want of a good laugh will do well to visit the Agricultural Hall while this piece is being performed.

The house of a Chinese gardener named Ah Ling, ab Parawai, was forcibly entered during Saturday, and £40 12s stolen. The police have nob obtained any clue as to tho perpetrators of the robbery.

An amusing race, which was nob set down in the list of evenbs, took place at Ellerslie on Saturday. It occurred between the bulkiest sergeant in the force and a square - built vendor of second hand goods. The course was across the held. The lesser man had a considerable start, but tho representa tive of law and order bore down upon him in good style. The race would have resulted in a win for "impu dence" as against "dignity" had not he come to grief against a constable, which ended in his being dragged back to the side of the field from which he started. Betting was about two to one against tho sergeant, who was scarcely con sidered to be in good form for running.
