The Auckland Yacht Club is becoming an established face. The rules for its proper working have been passed, and new members are rapidly joining. The New Zealand bar is constantly being recruited. The Southern Crass says : Four candidates presented themselves yesterday and the two preceding days for the iinal examinations requisite to qualify themselves for practising at the> New Zealand bar. Four candidates for legal honors also placed themselves for first examinations. Among the many schemes for promoting immigration to this Colony (says the Evening Post) is one which the Government have entirely overlooked. A panorama, well painted, representing the principal cities of the Colony, a few of the most fertile tracts of country, and some of the romantic or grand scenes to be foiiml in both islands, might, if exhibited in Great Britain, and explained by a good lecturer, do a great deal towards making those at home know something of the Colony, and think a little more of it than as a place where the white men live in constant feai of the tomahawk. An additional interest in the entertainment might be got up if one or two Maoris were engaged to travel with the panorama, and to exhibit themselves to the audiences. The affair would probably have the further advantage of being fecU-supporting.
