. Amy Sherwin, who recently had puch a brilliant theatrical. )our ; through;. New Zealand, has been compelled to file her schcdulo in tho Melbourne Bankruptcy Court; " Der Freischutz"' had boon-an-nounced for tho evening of that day, and a very large audience had assembled. The, .orchestra, howeyer, refused to proceed with the overture until their salaries were paid, and the final result of the trouble was that the audience had their money returned—a very miserable climax to tho enthusiasm evoked, by the piima doniia in Now Zealand.

The hen will lay nowhere else but in this particular; manger, and when " chuek'ie is taking to thp horse's too long a tinie to.deposit the coveted mora«l the horse opens liis soft lips, lifts tho hen by tho tail tu see 'if | the, jegg has been laid, and if it is, quietly appropriates the delicate becomes qiiite. leitless until the'little, delicacy* ho , has; been waited foij is "passedand he will have his ogg, and his fondness for the hen who thus supplies him, is unbounded. The story, appears incredible, but the horse's owner, is perfectly willing to convince anyone to tho contrary. : 'Ata meeting of'delegates of several racing clubs held at Waipawa, Hawkes Bay,on-Wednesday, the, following resolutions were unanimously agreed to " That in conHeqaunco '4 the arbitrary rules to be enforced by the Metropolitan Clubs, a racing association be formed lo bo called tho 'Hawkes Bay , Racing Association,' and thai; the Waipawa County liacing Club's ofljce be the, registration office of the Association and that delegates from the variwia Clubs rrtcing under the Association's rules meet' from' time to timo to decide any questions that may be brought before them."
