THE "SHOW" BUSINESS.

Interesting Bankruptcy €as.c

HOW THE MONEY GOES

(by telegraph.— own correspondent.)

WakOANOI, this day. At a meeting of tho creditors of 11. M. Brown, tobacconist, on Saturday, there were some disclosures with regard to the speculations that the bankrupt had gone in for. From the evidence it appeared that he was induced by Harry Alexander, who goes by the name of "the New Zea land showman," to enter into the .show business. Me advanced Alexander £215 in cash, and while the latter went to England to secure something novel, Brown had to pay his wife £2 per week. Alexander en gaged a mechanical automaton called "Ali," and spent the £215 mainly on passage money. The terms of agreement made by Alexander were that the designer of the figure was to have £5 a week, the engagement being for two years. The show opened in Dunedin, but it was found after a week's experience that the receipts would not pay expenses. As it was thought useless to go further in New Zealand tho show was removed to Mel bourne under engagement at £20 a week to a wax work show, but so far Brown lias received no profits, and according to a letter from Alexander tho latter is thinking of breaking his contract. Brown has expended £310 on tho concern, including tho £2 a week to Mrs Alexander, and has consequently gone bankrupt. At tho meeting of creditors representatives of 'Wellington and Auckland firms wore present. Dissatisfaction was ex pressed with the debtor's statement, and it iw probable that a public examination will be called for.

ATHLETIC NOTES.

In epito of tho bad weather on Saturday £5 was taken at the gates for tho benefit match, while tho Ferry Company sold a number of tickets, tho returns for which have not come in yofc. Tho expenses amount to £2 and the Union hope to make about £7 from tho match, and this-- they will try and make up to £20 by subscriptions and a bonus.

A meeting was held today when Messrs Cotton and Green way were appointed dolegates to the Association. Mr J. H. Chapman, hon. secretary of the Dunedin Rugby Union, was presented with a gold watch on Saturday in recognition of his services to football. It was stated that notwithstanding the tour made by the team the Union had a balance in hand, and j\lr Chapman, in replying, said they had clone what no one else had get done, and they sent a team all over the colony wjthout asking for or taking a single penny gate money. The boating season at Nelson was opened on Saturday last, when the Nelson and Wakatu Clubs sent out all their boats, who took part in the procession. A steamer with the Garrison Band on board ac comnaniod the boats, and tho scene was a brilliant one, the attendance being large and the weather glorious. At a meeting of tho delegates of Canter bury Boating Clubs last Saturday night it was decided to recommend these clubs to join th<? proposed New Zealand Amateur Rowing Association if the rules are amended so as to provide that the amateur definition take effect from the date of the adoption by the association, that the junior definition be restricted to youths under 21, that each club be represented by one delegate at the asso ciation meetings, that all association regatta races be restricted to boats carrying cox swains (single sculling races excepted), that Rule 10 be amended so as to give a majority of local delegates power to grant permission to the affiliated clubs to compete at regattas not under the auspices of the association.

HANLAN IN SYDNEY.

THE EX-CHAMPION'S HOPES AND

ANTICIPATIONS.

In a letter addressed to Mr Lucas, of the R.M.S. Zealandia, Mr Hanlon has disclosed his present doings and futuro intentions. He states that ho is now in strict training for the forthcoming watch with Beach—prac tising daily over the champion course on the Paramatta River. He is under the care of J. Brett and is rowing in Matter sou's boat, but ho intends to row the decisive match in his own new boat which he brought with him from America. lluului) declares that he will " try all he knows" to win the match with Beach, and as he has every thing to win and nothing to lose, it will not be his fault if ho not regain the champion ship. If he wins the race, Hanlan will, of course,ranain in Sydney for some time ; but in the event of his losing, he will come on to Auckland, where he will stay for some time, and will perhaps permanently settle hero. Ho expresses himself as highly pleased with his cordial reception by friends in Auckland when recently passing through, which was in marked contrast to the way in which he was wel comed in Sydney this time. He wishes particularly to thank Mr Crook, who took him to Onehunga, Sylvia Park, and other places. He considers Auckland one of tho prettiest places on this side of tho Pacific Ocean, and her harbour is specially woll suited for boat races. With tho facilities which Auckland enjoys and the good oarsmen whom she is training in her whaloboat and other races, he thinks she must yet become a famous place for scul ling. A match is being arranged between Hanlan and Giflford (a Sydney oarsman, and the ex-champion oxprcsses himself con fident of winning it easily. Tho stakes are £500, unci Mr Doeblo is arranging tho match.

AN ENGLISH EXPERT,

(BY TiXEGEAHI— PKESS ASSOCIATION*.)

Wellington, this day.

Mr Hksry Tapf, a mining expert, has arrived here by the direct steamer Rimutaki, and leaves for Auckland bythes.s. Wanaka to-morrow. He is com missioned by a syndicate at Home to in spect auriferous lend in the Coromandel and Thames districts. He also proposes to investigate the finds at Waitoa and Hikutaia. Besides this he is the repre sentative of the Thames Foreshore Gold Recovery Company.

The Wellington City Council have in timated they are desirious the Municipal Conference should meet during the present session. The Town Clerk is sending circulars to the various munici palities requesting that the representatives may at once proceed to Wellington. Mr D. Goldie will do asked to represent Auck land.

Tumbling into the water is getting quite common now. Another case happened this morning when a man named Hugh Sullivan was capsized out of a small punt at the end of the Ferry Company's Tee. Being a good swimmer he simply expressed his feelings in strong language, and swam to the wharf and he was soon alright.

Five young fellows, Messrs Lumsden, Cunningham, Baxter (2), and Griffiths were taking a strong test gig belonging to the West End Sowing Club over to Mr Logan's yard this morning, when nearing the shore the boat swamped, and they had to trust to swimming to get ashore. They returned to town by the next ferry-boat to Auckland, hampered with wet clothes, but were none the worse for their ducking.

The following is the report prepared by the Sanitary Inspector, Mr George Goldie, in reply to Dr. Girdler's statement re the number of water-closets in the city that were unattended too ; — (1) Number of dwelling houses, stores, warehouses, &c, within the City 7277 ; (2) num ber of uninhabited houses, 973 ; (3) estimated number of warehouses and shops without residences, 783; (4) estimated number of houses Avith large and email area of cultivated land where nightsoil is permitted to bo used, 190. (5) Number of water-closets used within the city 937. (6) Number of nightsoil boxes emptied by Mr Casey within tho city, 4382 ; total 7266; which, being deducted from the 7,277 dwelling houses, stores and whare houses, in the city leaves a difference of 120." Dr. Girdler's estimate made the dif ference about 2,000.

SHOCKING TRAGEDY.

WIFE-MURDER AND SUICIDE,

(by telegraph.— press association.)

Dunedin, Saturday. A shocking tragedy occurred in Leith Valley this afternoon. Edward Loft, pro prietor of a large bootshop, his wife, and niece wero visiting rome property near the waterworks, when Mrs Lofb made some re. mark to her husband about his drinking again. Loft, who seems to have been drink ing heavily of late, immediately pulled a six chambered revolver out of his pocket and fired at his wife. The first shot struck the steel in her stays and glanced off, but tho second went through her left lung and out at the back. In putting up her arms to defend herself Mrs Loft was struck by the bullets on the thumb and forefinger, which are shattered. The niece, Miss Bury, aged 17, interfered, and Loft seized her and tried tothrottleher, but both she and Mrs Loft got away, and took shelter in Reynolds's house. They sent for assistance, and Loft re mained outside, making no further attempt to do harm. On two constables arriving they went in search of Loft. When they got within fifty yards of him he put the pistol to his moufeb and fired. Death was almost instantaneous. Mrs Loft was re moved to her homo, but though she may live two or three days she is not expected to re cover. Tho niece, Miss Bury, is in no way injured. So far as is known, the parties were on good terms, and except the remark made about drinking there was no cause for the action of Loft, who is believed to have been suffering from delirium tremens.

Later Details. The Reynolds family on being apprised of what had happened hastened out, and saw Mrs Lofts staggering towards them. Sho finally fell and they carried her into their house after which the son went to tho police. Ho met Loft, who came up to him still holding the revolver, and asked whether Ills wife was dead. Young Reynolds replied that sho was not, but was in much the same state as when she loft her. Loft said "If she is dead I will blow my brains out " he paid it was drink caused it and ho seemed to some extent to have recovered from his paroxysm. Reynolds did not care to make any movement upon him and a few moments afterwards tho police hove in sight. They were 50 or 60 yards away on tho road and ft fence separated them from the paddock bar. Afc the first glimpo of them the miserable man put tho revolver in his mouth and fired. The ball penetrated almost to the skin at tho back of the nook and ho in SergenntJOneills words " a lump of lead without a struggle."

The lujurcd Woman.

Dr. Maunsell recommended Mrs Loft's removal to tho Hospital, but at her urgent request she was moved to her own house. Her recovery is virtually impossible. Sho was conscious throughout, but. very weak from excessive loss of blood, and almost speechless.

LATEST POLITICAL SEWS.

Wellington, this afternoon. The Governor's speech will be delivered at 3 p.m. on Wednesday.

Mr Stevens Accepts

The Hon. Mr Stevens had a consultation with Major Atkinson this morning, and expressed his willingness to accept the Co lonial Secretaryship, providing that his private aftairs permitted.

Gossip In the Lobbies,

Of course,' the new Ministry was the one topic of conversation in the lobbies on Sunday, and though the per sonnel came in for considerable criticism, the inpression, so far as I could gather, was that they would hold their own during the session, and would probably gain strength in the recess. The present opposition party (Vogel's supporters) predict that the Government will not last a fortnight, but the wish, of course, is father to the thought in this case. The appointments of Messrs Fergus, Richardson, and Mitchelson are de cidedly popular, but so far as the first-named is concerned he is certain to be rudely chaffed for accepting the portfolio of Mines after having emphatically declared in his recent electoral campaign that so costly and unnecessary a department should be abolished.

Mr Fisher's appointment has occasioned heart-burning among the Wellington men, and fears are also expressed by the Atkin son party as to the wisdom of including him in the team. Everybody admits Mr Fishers ability and his trenchant style of debate, but there is no questioning the'fact that Mr Beetham'e claims to a portfolio were para mount. In the case Of Mr Fisher, respon sibilities of ofiice will no doubt have the effect of moderating the bitterness of tone usually adopted by him when referring to his opponents. The Government will bo very strong in debating power. Considerable surprise has been occasioned by the non-inclusion of Captain Russell in the Cabinet, but his being a large land owner was considered a fatal objection by the democratic element in the House.

Mr Scobie MacKenzio, too, was regarded as an expectant Minister, but his views were not in accord with Major Atkinson's in many respects, and ho would pro bably have refused a portfolio had it been offered him. As tho choice of leader was narrowed down to Sir J. Vogel and Major Atkinson, he had determined to give the present Ministry a general support.

Order of Business. Tho probabilities are that Major Atkin son will on Tuesday report progress, and the House willadjourn till the following day, when the Governor's speech outlining policy will bo brought down, and then an adjournment for a fortnight will be asked to bring down a policy in detail. There will be no strong opposition to this course, as it is considered desirable, but members chafo at tho enforced idleness.
