Auckland Red Cross Work. At a meeting of the Red Crow organisa(inn hold in Auckland last week, the Mayor (Mr. .1. H. Gunson) said tr.nt in view of the large numliiT .of casualties reported, it was manifest that if we were to continue to meet our obligations in respect to Red Cross work there must be" no Blackening of effort. The Business Men's Committee which organised the recent appeal in the city was now con. stituted a Finance Committee, and subscriptions wero being received by it. The committee, however, from lime to lime, kept its payments to tho Joint Committee, op o date, and similarly all available credit balances wero remitted promptly to London, thus allowing no accumulation of funds in Auckland. It was therefore essential that the subscriptions should bo fully maintained. The city was fairly well organised, and all necessary steps would bo taken by the Finance Committee to keep tho claims of the important Bed Cross organisation before the citizens. Tho 1 honorary organiser, Mr. C. f. Bickford, was devoting most of his time to a country campaign, and recent reports from the East Coast and Goldfields district? indicated that the work was licing continued with enthusiasm, and that the country districts would maintain, if not increase, thsir Rod Cross contributions. Other parts of th»> jaro. vinco would shortly be visited by Mr. Bickford, and tho Joint Committee would appreciate the eo-oporation of all othei centres. The assembling of goods for Mesopotamia and Egypt, particularly Woollen goods, for which cabled requests had been received, and which'must be sont at an early date for the Mesopotamia winter, was proceeding at tho depot, and certain classes of foodstuffs, in accordance with tho requisition from the authorities, would again bo dispatched. In this respect, and also in regard to the raising of funds throughout the • province, the Auckland return's generally now compared favourably with those of other ■centres of tho Dominion, but there was urgent neod for the maintenance of tho work in both respects. Ellen Terry's Birthday. Miss Ellen Terry's seventieth birthday was celebrated on February 27 by a num. ber of presentations to her, at tho Coliseum in London.

What odds about age, She's the youngest girl on the stage, For tragedy, comedy, serious, or merry, Tho stage has no match for our matchless Noll Terry." -
