In the evening the subject of lecture is "Faith or Freethought—Professor Hilgard, Lotti Wil- v mott, Judge Manning. "X Major Atkinson's Financial Statement must have been a wonderful effort on his part. Some of the newspapers say it consisted of 5000 words, somo again say 7000, whilo the Gisborne Telephone says it consisted of 16,000 words.

At the R.M. Court this morning, before Mr Patten, J.P., John Thompson was brought up charged with forging a chequo on the Bank of New South Wales for £10 10s in the name of R. P. Williams. At the requost of tho police he was remanded for eight days.

The fire alarm that was sounded last night at 8 o'clock was taken up very smartly by whoever was in charge of the Enfield road station, and within five minutes some half-dozen men had mustered and got their reel out. Before to-day we have had to complain of the slowness of firemen in turning out, but on this occasion a word of praise is due to the men connected with the above station for their smartness. For the historical and musical entertainment at Trinity Church school-room on Tuesday evening next, among" other items in preparation are the instrumental overture "Estafctte" by Herzog, a solo by Miss Large, the trio " Like as a the quartette "Near my God to Thee,' ir * aud a tenor solo. As the conclusion of tho lecture deals with the great French Revolution, Mons. Bourgeois will sing tho Marseillaise. Tho fire-bell was rung last night at a little before 8 o'clock, and with a most commendable promptitude the brigade mustered at the engine station Volumes of smoke passing across Hastings-street by Messrs Ruddock and Fryer's corner pointed to the direction of the fire, and a strong smell of soot indicated the cause. It turned out to be notliing more alarming than a chimney on the premises of the Hawke's Bay Herald. Our morning contemporary as usual knew nothing about it. Admiral Richards, who has been appointed to the command of the Australian squadron, will be a great acquisition to these waters. He holds the appointment of Hydrographer to tho Royal Navy, and is a man of high scientific attainments. The re-survey of the coasts of Now Zealand would appear to be a necessity, judging from recent events, nor is this to be wondered at considering the numerous volcanic disturbances that have occurred since the last naval charts were compiled.

The first entertainment in the new Oddi fellows' Hall, Taradale, is announced ta take place on Thursday next. The principal lady and gentlemen amateurs of Napier have kindly given their services, and a very enjoyable entertainment may be expected. The proceeds arc for the Taradale district school, which stands in need of funds for desirable improvements. We hope to sea this performance well patronised, both on account of the excellent programme provided as well as on account of its laudable object.

Thursday's Telephone says:—" It will be seen, by a telegram from Wellington, forwarded by our special correspondent, that beside the £100 obtained by Mr Locke from the Government for the widow Downes, our representative has suceeded in obtaining sitting of the R.M. Court at Ormond, a polling place at Patutahi, and to having tho Motu block examined with a view to aa equitable settlement. Mr Locke has, in the short time he has been in Wellington, been of all the service to tho district that has lain in his power."

Seeing some disused old piling knocking about on the Spit, a "Globe-trotter" asked a merchant's clerk, who was smoking his after-sandwich pipe, whether the timber was intended for export. "Yes," said tho clerk, who did not know what else to say. " Where docs it go ?" again asked the new, chum. "Mostly to Scotland," answer„n the youth, " where it's made into snuffboxes, and such like, from the rafters of Burns' cottage, and the home of Sir Walter Scott." And the tourist said "Haw!" and made a note of it. To-day having been appointed for the official celebration of the Queen's Birthday the local volunteer companies paraded at 7 o'clock this morning under the command of Major Routledge. The F. Battery of Artillery was commanded by Captain Garner, and the Rifle Volunteer Company by Lieutenant King. The companies proceeded to Clive Square, accompanied by the Garrison Band. The two gun detachments fired the Royal salute, and the Rifles the feu dejoic, neither of which was done wtth the precision of former occasions.

To the Editor: Sir,—A great deal has I been said about our representatives having taken 200 guineas for three weeks' work in Parliament, and as I like to see both sides of the subject fairly put I am glad to have the best authority for stating that our worthy representative does not intend to personally benefit by his honorarium, but has decided to give one-half to the fund being raised by Captain Blythe for the improvement of Clive Square, and the other/ 100 guineas will be divided among our dify ferent charities, and further that this step has been taken, not as a mere electioneeringdodge to catch votes, but out of a spirit of true liberalism, In future his honorarium will always be disposed of in a similar manner.—l am, kc, True Liberalism.

A correspondent, under the signature of "Resident," draws our attention to "a nuisance in Cooto road in the shape of a burning limekiln, which emits such dense volumes of smoke as to render living in the neighborhood almost unbearable, withouttaking into consideration the disagreeable smell which arises therefrom." Our correspondent wants to know whether there is any remedy for this, and says, " I venture to think that such a nuisance would not for a moment be tolerated in the vicinity of Hastings-street, and fail to see why it should be permitted in one part of tho borough more than another." Wo think this is a question for the consideration of the Borough Council, and, if a nuisance exists, no doubt that body will take steps to abate it.
