The salary and allowances are on a liberal scale and applications should reach the secretary here by April 14. A Christchurch doctor who was before the Court the other day, smarting under the imputation that he was a quack, drew forth a pocket-book, and threw it across the Court to Mr Day, S.M., with the invitation to read his diploma. Ha was ignominiously bustled out of Court by the constables, and kept in durance for an hour.

The finiih of the Sydney Thousand race was most exciting. So close were the first six riders that the proverbial blanket would almost have covered them. The final sprint put in by Arnst (N Z.) was a well sustained and plucky effort. He finished so strong that he took all the sting out of the world famed sprinters opposed to bun. The great pacing effort of Butt (Germany) to catch the front rankers, however, told upon him 'when it came to the pinch. Ruth beat Payne by half a wheel for second place.

What may have b?en a s-’rions accident occurred last evening. A so 1 of Mrs Hussey, whilst ddivoring papers as usual was running fd-ug Main street as a horseman was coming out from Mr J, Symons’ riahtmf-way. The horse shied, and unseated its rider, whilst the boy was knocked down as a result <4 his contact with the equine. Fortunately none wore seriously hurt. Apart from tho boy receiving slight bruises under his arm, there was no serious damage. The little sufferer is progressing favourably. Speaking of Mr Fume's appomtment to Eltham, the “ Argus ” of that township says The Elthanl School Committee Ims selected Mr L. J. Furrie, assistant master at Foxton, to fill the vacancy created by Mr Edie's resignation. Mr Furrie is a young man with excellent credentials concerning Jus teaching abilities, and is also a good man in the Athletic field. The committee appears to have made a judicious selection.

An Archdeacon had engaged a new footman, highly recommended for his sobriety, but not so clever as he might have been. One of his duties was to accompany his master on a series of formal calls. “ Bring the cards, Thomas,” said the Archdeacon, ‘ and leave one at every house.” After two hours’ visiting the Archdeacon's list was at last exhaused. “ That is my last call, Thomas,” he said : ” leave two cards here.” “ Beg your pardon, sir, I cannot leave two curds, for I’ve only the ace of spades left! ”

From inquiries made it has been ascertained that nil the victims of the ptomaine poisoning cases on the Paeroa racecourse have recovered. The Thames sufferers, though some were badly attadked, are all well. The residents of Paeroa, Waihi, and Hamilton are reported as al 0 recovered. It is stated that the tongues were -boiled in a copper and allowed to s’and all night. It is believ' d that tho action of the soft on tho copper contaminated the tonvnes, though a strange circumstance is that persons who refrained from cat’ng tongues and only part >ok of tea wore similarly .attacked. Litigation is likely to ensue as the result of the occurrence.

The steamer Essex, which arrivd at Auckland from Liverpool on Wednesday brings a batch of sixtynine immigrants to the colony.

Tlohmn Hunt's great picture, “ Tho Light of the World.” which is to be exhibited in New Zealand afte-icted greU crowds in Adelaide, while in Melbourne vast crowds have viewed the masterpiece'. On Sunday a fortnight back at tho latter place there was a great crush. When the National Art Gallery was built the designer- never anticipated that 12,000 people would attempt to crowd into it in th° space of three hours (said Monday’s Melbourne Argus). Tho most noticeable features about the crowd, after its good humour, was tho great nreponderanco of woman. Of the 15,090 people who visited the gallery, it is quite safe to say that 10,000 were women, most of them young. Whether art or religion, or mere curiosity, drew the majority of them, it is hard to determine.
