WELLINGTON NOTES.
(By Telegeaph.) (fbom ottr corkespoitdkxt.} WELLINGTON, December 16. Dr. Lemon, Superintendent of Telegraphs, will retire next year on a pension after thirty years' service. It is not yet known who will succeed him, but Mr Bold is next in seniority in Dr. Lemon's special branch of the department, the electrical one. Notwithstanding all the favourable reports of the Premier's progress towards convalescence, I regret to learn that he is still too ill to see anyone excepting Mrs Ballance and his medical attendant. Even intimate personal friends are not allowed to see him, although promising not to touch on business matters or any subject which could prove exciting. The Orchestral Society at their concert to-night performed for the first time in £ew Zealand Schumann's Symphony in B flao (IS o. 1). It waa admirably given, under the conductorship of Alfred H&l. and produced a great impression. ■ *
