TABLE TALK.

Football struggle. Palms to tho victors. Beautiful half-holiday weather! The Macgreeor is safe at Onebunga. Three loonies escaped from the Whau. Criminy! Hope they will be caught soon. Too bad of them to run away, after all the music and pictures provided for them. Otago footballers left for Nelson yester day afternoon. The first interprovincial match takes place on Friday afternoon. < The Political and Financial Reform Asso ciation of Auckland shows signs of speedy decline. . > Poor thing ! It had never a good " con stitution," and it is now decidedly sickly. The political " doctors " did not turn oub last night to amend its constitution, and1 people are now asking—" Who is to reform the reformer?" Scottish "chiels" are performing at I Hamilton to-night. The Dunedin Chess and Draughts Club have arranged to play a telegraphic chesa match with Invercargill on Saturday. Mr Supt. Thomson left for Welliu^ton yesterday. Mr Osborne, candidate for Manukau,' gives a political address at Newmarket to night. The Young New Zealand Political As sociation have a meeting this evening. i Our gallant Governor, being an Irishman, is in favour of women's rights. Sir Wm. Jervois, speaking at a concert in Wellington recently, said :—" He musb premise, as he saw so large a portion of the Wellington pnblic before him, that he had no intention of wooing their suffrages at tho coming elections if he did he "certainly would desire that women suffrage should be established, because he would claim the votes of all ladie3, as well as gentlemen." The talk of lighting Auckland by elec tricity is not all " gas." The City Council are still in communication with Messrs Ash croft and Co. with a view to instituting ex-' peiiments. The agent for the Opotiki town hall re ceived the following wire the other day : " ' Engage hell for me on Saturday night,' John Gill." The agent replied, "lain nob agent for hell, but shall be glad to engage the town hall for you on Saturday night. Bank rates of interest in New Zealand are shortly expected to be reduced to 4fc per cent on fixed deposits for a year,3 per cent, for the half year, and 2 per cent, for the quarter. W. A. Fleming and Wm. Allan, Otago medical students, have passed their final professional examinations at the Edinburgh University, and have each taken a degree. Wellington is wet as well as windy. Ithas been raining heavily all week there and about 700 tons of rock and clay have come down from the cliffs into Willis-street. Between fires, landslips, earthquakes, and wind, there will soon be very little of the seat of Government left. So much the better. If the Government had nowhere to sit down they might be more active in looking after the business of the country. On Monday last no fewer than 41,802 newspapers, 32,436 letters, and 6,259 book packets were received and despatched by. the officials in Auckland Post-ofhce. A Pennsylvania woman has named her twin daughters Gasolene and Kerosene. The father of the family is probably old Pete Roleum. ; During Mr Macdonald's administration, the cost of the Auckland railway's head office was a little over LI,OOO a year; now it it is L 2,420. Doesn't look like retrench ment. Marrinna, whom Tennyson describes as. "gazing athwart the gloomy flats," was probably engaged in house-hunting. Football is being tabooed in the United ; States. The following notice has been j posted up at Harvard College :—" The ' Committee on Athletics, having become convinced that the game of football as ab present played by college teams is brutal, i demoralising to players and to spectators, j and extremely dangerous, propose to re quest the faculty to prohibit the game after the close of the presentseason. ! Things are again looking warlike in' Europe. Bulgarian affairs are the exciting cause. Considerably more than 4,000,000 persons had been, at the end of last; year, insured against sickness under the German law of compulsory insurance. That's the so-called "fad" of Major Atkin son that was condemned in New Zealand without trial. It seems to work well in Europe. Still Waters ! At Wellington yesterday the Supreme Court was occupied in hearing the case of the City Advance Company v., J. Smith, a claim for L6O Bs, the amount of a promissory note. For the defence it was; contended that the amount had been paid: to W. R. Waters, formerly manager for the plaintiff company. The jury gave a verdict for the defendant.
