TO THE EDITOR. SIR. -It is not mare than two months ago since a correspon- | dent suggested per medium of | these columns the c.-tabl i.diment | in Huntly of a m >ck parliament, j Tho id ea was a happy one and as ! such found favour with certain ! members of the community wh > | energetically set about the task of cairying it out. Gratifying, indeed, must it be to them to b *- ; hold tlie success th tt has atI tended their efforts. The society i has now a me moors hip of over ’ eighty and each week (.rings a 1 considerable increase to it - memI bars. The sittings which are ! conducted in the school every Monday from 7.30 to 10 p.in, have created boundless amusement and I are looked forward to with the greatest enthusiasm by all who have been once present. Up to ■ the present the House lias been busy with tho Licensing Ac Amendment Act introduced by the member for Auckland E. (Mr E. Sheeran) ; but this, having passed successfully through itsecond reading, will ho laid aside for a’timo, whilst in the meantime the Government will I place on the table a bill for the j taxation of bachelors an 1 spin- ! stars. The amusejnent that j might be anticipated in the disi cussion of this measure will no | doubt assure for the coming sitting a record attendance. Yours etc., M EM BE R.
