I TO CORRESPONDENTS. * ■ PaSQUIN. — Answer correct. Crowded out of last issue P. M. (Helensville) .-You write awful doggerell. Why didn't you compete for the prize poem P There is a beautiful rhythm about your lines on the Bachelors' Ball'which reminds one of the music of a cross-cut saw. E. W. (Onehunga.)— Anticipated. Better luck next time An-Adniirer-of-Music-and-a-Constant-Reader-of -Observer (Onehuuga). — Yours is rather a longish name, anyhow. But you have omitted your Christian cognomen. Matter intended for publication must be signed with the full name of the sender. If you don't happen to have any foolscap wide enough we'll get a sheet specially manufactured for the purpose Eejected Addresses. — The public interest in these has died out Bunthorne. — Correct answers to your queries would not involve us in more than, say a dozen prosecutions for libel. The luxury is too expensive in these times, and we must, however reluctantly practice self-denial Euby Grey (Bay of Islands.) — Your solution of the riddle was correct, but too late. — Miss Irving (Waitan&L) — Ditto. You dear creatures, we wish we hatd the purse of a Portunatns so that we might present gloves to all of you. Mr John Foss, butcher, of Queen-street, has on Friday evening as fine r display of prime meat as will be seen in Auckland. What fair one, who indulges in the rink, would be without a pair of skates, when they are made by that enterprising firm, Messrs Branston and Forster, who are now prepared to make skates at prices that defy competition. Mr Joseph Caffery has become the proprietor of the well-known Auckland Hotel, and as Mr Caffery is a popular and well-known boniface there is every reason to believe he will meet with every support, and that the hotel will be conducted in a way to give satisfaction to everyone. The weather last Monday evening being so stormy, it was decided to postpone the first meeting of Mr Pooley's Musical Socioty until next Monday at 7.30. p.m., when, it is to be hoped, the elements will be more propitious and considerate towards the members. ,We anticipate good, practical results from Mr Pooley's Musical Society. On Wednesday, the 14th inst., Mr R. Arthur ■will sell at his Booms, Queen-street, that valuable property, situat«d at the oorner of Ponsonbv-road and Ticton-street, consisting of a leasehold having 20 years toruu, on which is erected a good 8-roomed dwelling house aud shop — a most desirable place for a first-class business stand, besides being a pleasant and healthy place of residenct.
