It will be remembered that some short time ago two young men who had arranged to give an entertainment of the nature of a '' Can-Can" were ignominiously prevented from so doing by being handed over to the police and charged with robbing one tradesman and selling the goods to another in the same line of business. It has transpired that those two young men have made a confession in Mount Eden gaol to the effect that they stole a whole string of articles from the party spoken of besides those sheeted home to them, and they assert that the articles all became the property of the person complained of. We do not think the men were bribed to commit the theft, but it is a despicably mean and contemptible action for a tradesman to oif'er a ridiculously low price for goods purloined from the establishment of another in the same line of business, because it not only encourages the vendors to* thieve, but it is calculated to cause the same criminal action to be committed in other parts, and fosters a set of blackguardsj who find loafing more congenial to their tastes than honest work.

Accounts amounting to £67 were passed for payment, and the business of the meeting terminated" with the election of the visiting committee for the month.

In our telegrams we give the team of Auckland men who are to do battle tht, Australians, and who are chosen to uphold the honor of the former Empire City. We notice that the Auckland men have not picked a representative from the Thames, thinking, we presume, that we have no good handlers of the willow. What do you gay to that, cricketers ?
