TABLE TALK.

School Board,elections to-night;. ■ '-< « ' Animal educational meetings. Many interesting topics to discuss. Prof. Carrollo ab the Opera House to-; night. High jinks ab Onehunga yesterday morning. Mr John Lundon, the leader of three cheers to the departing members, . ' Said ie was the " last time they would be going down." Rather rough, wasn't it, on Sir" George: Grey, Sir G. M. O'Rorkc, and others ? Oh, the gentle John didn't mean them ; he only referred to his friend MrHob'bs. 1 see. He called for "one cheer more" for the Knight' of the Kawau, but only grinned when somebody suggested a cheer for poor Richard. Rowdy proceedings for a Sunday morn ing, don't you chink ? Where was tne new J.P. ? Oh, I suppose Captain Fairchild's autho rity, would not be exercised till they were at sea. ■-- ' ■ ' "'" " "'''■ "■ Do you really think many of our present members will go back to the House after next election ? Many of them won't. It's all settled that Dargaville is to oust Hobbs. Dr. Leger Erson means to contest a city constituency. The Earl and Countess of Aberdeen have grievously disappointed Auckl.-j-iders. The enthusiasm will keep' hot for a month, however, and the visitors may be expected then \Vithout fail. Big illuminations at North Shore. = You mean the fire last nigiit—rather a deplorable affair that. *. No ; I mean the display of electric lighb by the Permanent Defence Force at Forb Cautley. That was seen all the way from Otahuhu, and some old residents thought it was Rangitoto in eruption, or the final " bust up" of all things ! The "Mikado"' Opera Company open in Wellington to-night. .Several consignments of New Zealand butter have realised good prices in London. Two sudden deaths in Canterbury yesterday. A man, not yet identified, dropped dead on the road near Belfast; and James' Ken nedy, an old man living alone at Waikari, was found dead in his hut. The boys' who "burgled" the store-room at Kohimarama Industrial School were arrested at Mercer yesterday. Mr John Ilott, editor of the " Te Aroha and Ohinemuri News," has been appointed a Justice of the Peace. The Rev. B. Bull says one million sterling annually changes hands in New Zealand over horse-racing. The late John Richmonds estates is re turned at about £7,000. ■ • ' ' ' :? C. G. Laurie and Co., have removed their manufactory to Newmarket, where extensive premises have bean erected. The firm manufactured over 50 tons of candied peel, last year. Dunedin Jockey Club have appealed against Mr Carew's decision in the totaliza tor case. Don't they wish they may get that de- ! cision reversed ! Wyllie, the " Herd Laddie," left London for Melbourne on 3rd March last. ' : - ■ • j: - Auckland draiights players had better brush up their "moves,'! "tor he is coming here, and though 67 years of age will prove a match for our champions. Naval Battalion practising already for the feu dejoie on Queen's Birthday. Wise precaution against a fiasco. Let's hope the ammunition won't run short. Read the report of the case against Pat rick CaiT, of throwing Ann Vesey out of a window. It is funny reading. While giving his evidence therein Dr. Franklin said a case has come under his notice of a man having been killed through falling on the ground while attempting to sit on a chair which had been suddenly pulled from under him. Mr O'Meagher, the examining counsel, said' he knew of a similar case that1 had, occurred at Ballarat. \ ''" .• Dr. Bond is back in town. '/•' • ', Sergeant Gamble has returned on duty after his late severe illness. The wife of Thaka Hakuena, the-first victim of that Parnell pie, has died from the rupture of a blood vessel. She is another indirect victim of the1 sad affafr. for her death was brought about' 'by distress at her husband's sudden demise.' More likely by that fatalistic tendency among Maoris which leads them to "throw up the sponge " and die of no trouble what ever. Fire insurance managers have resolved to raise the premiums on lire risks 15' per cent : ■■.' " ■ ■,; ''» Mean thieves at the Free Public Library —stealing valuable books and niutilating magazines and newspapers by clipping from them. Worse than that; You can't take an um brella there on a rainy day, without the certainty of losing it. . ' And yet some people think that the world is ripe for Communism. Sanguine fools who don't know human nature, are the only advocates ef Commun ism or .Socialism either for "that 'matter.1-' ;; 1 A six-roomed house at, ,St; t Alban's, Canterbury, occupied by £{yo limy teachers, was burned down yesterday morning ' lii* cendiarism is suspected.

A highly satisfactory performance ■•■, of sacred music was given yesterday by Mr Pooley's choir, at his . chambei'S. The principal item' was the motett, " Hear My Prayer," by Mendelssohn, for soprano ,solo and chorus, a: , work which taxes the artistic, .knowledge and refinement of .a soloist: ,, to v.-the utmost. It is full Qf devotional;feeling and at times, in recitative'^ requires great; dramatic power, thesh concluding... solo, "Oh, For the Wings-; of ; ; a. Dove,";.being rich in religious fervour and trust. Madame Poolcy did complete, justice to i the solo, and the difficult choruses were given with taste and precision, special praise being due to the boys for their care and steadiness. A duet- for violin and organ, "Hymn to the Em peror," by Haydn, was : a very pleasing; feature of the .concert, whilst the singing of " Nazareth". by a Ifelsoa gentleman amateur was a pleasant change. The hymns were well given, and members of church choirs in the city would c^well to attend these concerts and take /a. few hints in hymn-singing.. ', . ; .-,.,■; .Two well-known citizens . visited : the Asylum on Friday,,,which under the old regime they were in. the habit of doingcon stantly. Knowing that matters ;>vere iiot in a settled state at present, Mr" Ewing ton, as a visiting justice, was applied to for _an. order, when ~ that, gentle man said .none was necessary. ,',,, What was the surprise of, the visitors on'apply ing for admission,to'find that the^doctpr's oraers were that no rorii3,ahould beallowed over the; Asylum. This is^quite a now rule, and one not likely to, add to the popu larity of the present control." *■' How to Get Well. -"Which is answered fei;^ 0 words-Tako American Co,'s Eon Bitters I Read. c
