STREET COLLECTION.
— g RESPONSE NOT VERY GENF.ROUS. Helpers to the number of 1.10 arc participating to-day, in the fifteenth annual street collection for the Auckland Hospital Patients and Families' Fund. During the forenoon the response of the public to the appeal was not encouraging, and in some sections of Queen Street, notably above Victoria Street, was not as satisfactory as in previous years. On the other hand, boxe6 filled fairly rapidly in the suburbs. The jingle of coins will be heard this evening, when the collection will be continued, and the promoters of the appeal urge the public to contribute as generously as possible, since the money subscribed is put to a very useful purpose in helping poor people whose needs become acute through sickness or bodily hurt.
