OVER £5000 COLLECTED.

children's hospital unique street entertainients. 'undaunted by-downpour, enthusiastic'scenes at opera house.

The movement to secure funds for the establishment of a Children's pit'al in Wellington arrived at a grand climax on Saturday, when Mr. Hugh J. Ward and his company' mado their ■great effort to swell, tho magnificent sum which bad been raised during tho previous week. What a day it was! Pew imagined ..when they saw. the leaden clouds, plashing rain and muddy streets that Mr. Ward would pursue his announced intention of giving entertainments in the street in aid of the fund. The Dominion representative told • off to watch the proceedings found to his great surprise that Mr. Ward had no intention of' abandoning ;tho project.; "Are wo going .-out? I should rather think'wo are," said Mr. Ward as he buttoned up his great-coat in the vestibule of tho Opera House. .."Seo, hero are the ladies all ready to face anything for -the children. . Look at them. Do they look like throwing'it up? Let iti rain; hail, or snow—this is our day!" •.- ' ' The .start. ■' Others, present wore a little dubious, . but'. they seemed to ' catch enthusiasm from tlio head of the company, and laughing as they rattled i few pence in their money-boxes, they bundled into a string of motor'cars which, headed by a motor-lorry, made for tho first pitch at Veitcli and Allan's. , corner. Hore they stepped out in tho rain and the. slush, and. made a vigorous onslaught on tlio crowd awaiting their arrival. Tho, start was inauspicious. It rained so miserably that people were to* be. excused.from shrinking into themselves a littlo. ' Then Miss Grace- Palotta mounted the motor-lorry, which was fitted with a. piano (and tho beginnings of a band, which did good work later) and Mr. Ward announced, that she would sing "The Soldiers in the Park," .Who could have thought of such a-sight?- Grace Palotta, tho idol, of tho London Gaiety only a few years ago, singing. "0, /Listen to tho Band,-" in poiiring rain the prosaic neighbourhood of : Cuba Street ':■ Somebody threw a penny intp the motor. The idea was electrical. ' In a. moment a -regular, shower of money rained into the.'wagon, splashing : against the singer and-her "confreres,'or hitting the sides of, the motor or falling into the mud. It was all ono. ■-.-;'

■'■ "Coino : along, wc want your money, and intend to get it," shouted Mr. Ward. "We'll.tako pennies.)' and won't argue if you throw.half-crown's—it's all for the children." And once more, tlio chink of falliug coin made merry music in tho motor.. Meanwhile several ladies of the company and a number of young ladies, bedecked with Ward colours (red and white)," got busy in the crowds, and in ten 'minutes returned to' the cars wel and dishevelled, but-'with' resoundingboxes and glowing faces. It Still Rained, But Nobody Cared. The nest point of attack was at ■"Winder's Corner." It-still rained, lmt nobody cared. ■ Tho perambulating' stago .became the centre of an animated scene. Once more the charm and vivacity' of' Miss Palotta conquered' tho crowd by chirruping her gay "Ta-ta-ta! Ta-ta-ta-!-Ta-ta-ta I" in maimer inimitable. Small coins, were thrown.from- all directions. Reckless people invaded the banks' for small change, whilst the collectors got at the pockets of the clerks. Having exhausted this stand, .the precession of cars pursued their triumphant, way ia the Bank of New Zealand corner, where a vast crowd which blocked the traffic had assembled. Here the party made a great hit, and money came in freely. -Miss'Palotta once more trilled of the joys of military music, and Mr. Ward followed- it up by, singing "Harrigatf," as he continued to catch tho coin in,his cap.. The rain beat down on his bare head and ruined tho hats of his lady assistants, but .they smiledj through it all, and went on magnetising any looso cash that was lying round.' Up the strect'a lady had rushed from a hotel with' a handful of silver and copper collected within.. • Incident In Plenty., On again along the Quay moved the cars slowly to the Dresden'corner, where there was incident in plenty. ,A popular , Roman' Catholic priest, who had been dropping shillings into every box, became so imbued with the spirit of the day that, ho requested the loan of a box, and personally canvassed a neighbouring hotel to some purpose. It was voted n great performance by the company. The singers wore here stiengthenetl by Miss Celia Ghiloni —fresh from the.dental chair. Nothing daunted, sho mounted the lorry, and gave the crowd a fine taste of her vocal capacity in the pretty song "Sunshine , Lane," which made the money move again. Ono coin struck Mr. Ward and cut his cheek just below tho eye, but ho'inerely wiped away the blood, and thanked the giver with the sweetest of smiles.

Alter u ten minutes' wait, 1 , tiff, trundled the procession to the Queen's Statue, in tho relentless rain. Here a large crowd of wharf labourers and others had assembled, and again the return was gratifying. _ Mr. Ward thanked tho crowd —said it was tho greatest morning he had ever put in, and that ho would not have missed it for worlds. An excited carter waved his whip, and called for cheers for Mr. Ward and his company, after which tho procession made up Willis Street for the Onora. House. Over £104 Collected. The whole husiness had only lasted an hour .and twenty minutes, yet in that brief space of lime no loss a sum 'than £104 7s. Id. was collected. It was a magnificent proof of what can bo iichiovcd by dash and courage whore a great charity is concerned. At the conclusion of' the fray, Mr. Ward invited the male members of his company to dine With him at tho Grand Hotel, whore lie was soon surrounded by people anxious to congratulate him on his morning's work. "I knew it would go," said Mr. Ward to a Dominion representative. "Anything like this with a good idea in favour of a charity appeals to everybody. It only needs sumeiine to give it it lead and stand to it, and the thing is done. I never had any doubt about tho success of it from the iratsot. Tho public mot us, in the finest spirit, and it, turned.out to be an exDcrimco I

would not have missed for anything. About my company, I can only say they are trumps. They stuck to me throughout, and did noblo work." AT THE MATINEE. A FINE PERFORMANCE. SPEECHES BY THE MAYOR AND ME. WARD. , It has already been announced that almost l every seat for tho matinee performance in* aid of the fund had been booked/ This ensured a packed liouso, which included Lady Ward, several members of the medical profession, and many lea-ding citizens. A bright- bovy of young ladies dressed in white nursing attiro had been organised by Mrs. Wilford and, Miss Joseph,' and armed with programmes, photographs, • and boxes of sweets, made it their business to allow no ono to pass without investing a shilling or two. There was a . great demand for tho sweets boxes autographed, by tho members, of' ■ tho Hugh Ward Company, and programmes were freely bought at Is. a copy. Photographs of Mr. Ward. and- Miss Ghiloni—-donated/by Miss May Moore— also realised good money. Tho performance was.one of the most entertaining imaginable. It opened with ithc. selection "Raymond" (Thomas) played vwy nicely by tlio Wellington Professional Orchestra under Mr. Herbert Bloy. "The Yeomanry Patrol" (Squire) was also played after which the orchestra adjourned to the dress circle vestibule of tho , Opera House, whero they played during the intervals. Mr. Robert Greig'sang "Every' Star" acceptably and was accorded .an encore. Miss Palotta revived old memories in a lively rendering of "Soldiers, in, the Park;" and was heartily encored. Miss Maud Chetwynd and Mr. H. H. Wallace collaborated in a clever song and dance turn, introducing various style's of dancing, including tho "Apache" dance. I Tho tirst part concluded with Mr. Ward's sketch "The Scarecrow.',', In tho sketch, charming in itself,. Mr. Ward introduces one of the cleverest bits of mummery ever seen in Wellington as the scarecrow. The scene is in a country'spot'which has been fixed on as a camping place for a travelling circus. Pretty Mary, of. tlio circus, has tired of the life and is' about to leave it, when her. uncle, the njanager, and her lover, tho strong man, determine to cajole her into staying on. As they, leave for' the adjacent village to buy iher a hew hat she,sinks to sleep and dreams that tho scarecrow', a thing of rags and straw, standing'-with-gro-tesque limpness 1 and profound inanition imminently' in tho background, comes to! life'. -After requesting' Mary, to remove' the golf ball from his ear, he is helped into life by the sympathetic girl, and after creating wonderment by his quaint antics and irresponsibility in' the matter of maintaining' his perpendicular, pleads with her not to leave ■ tho' circus. Then he returns to his original posture, Mary wakes, up, and the circus men return. She tolls them her strange dream. They are incredulous, but she induces the scarecrow to become animated once more, for the purpose of. a duet and dance, and in the end Mr.; S. Crow becomes attached to tho circus. Mr. Ward's make-up was a work,of high art. With his head resembling a stuffed whito stocking, crudely painted into a semblance of features, arid straw bursting out in bits from derelict clothes, he deceived 'everyone' for the first ten minutes oF the sketch. His acting, by-play and eccentric dancing wero exceedingly clever. Miss Palotta made a charming Mary, Mr. Rcsr. Wykeham was the circus manager, and Mr. Robert Greig played. the strong man.

The. second part of the programme consisted of. the third act of that amusing comedy, 'The.Man from Mexico," with nil the original songs and dances, and for tho third part ■ the company nreseutcd the third" net of "A Bache-lor's-'Honeymoon."' In tin's comedy Miss Palotta and Mr. Ward mado a hit as "The Boy who' Stuttered and the Girl who .Lisped." Miss Chetwynd was conspicuously good as the slavey, and sang '.'l'm Afraid to Go Home in tbs Dark" on farcical lines. Another hit was made by Miss Celia Ghiloni, who supplemented - the ordinary verses with the chorus — . , "Rut find the man; find the man, Who to build a Children's Hospice found a plan. ' If I'm right you must applaud, I think his name is And the audience shouted "Ward" so loud 'and persistently that.the singer's final line — "That's, the man!. That's the man!" was lost, and she had to look around to produce the actor, who was then and ' thero accorded an ovation. The ontcrtainment amidst great enthusiasm. Some Surprising Figures. At the conclusion of the entertainment, the Mayor and Mayoress appeared on the stage, and,Mr, T. M. Wilford, coming forward, said that he had been asked that afternoon during the performance to make a small presentation to. Miss Grace Palotta and Mr. Ward, (Applause.) The idea had only occurred during the entertainment. They had had to act quickly, so without delay they had sent out to the jewellers to secure-' something that would bo small tokens'of esteem (from their /well-wishers in the capital city. (Applause.) He had to report that the fund for erecting a Children's Hospital in Wellington, started by Mrs. Wilford, and so ably assisted by Mr. Ward and his company, had,' without Mr. Ward's contribution, reached a sum of £4010. (Applause.) But when it was remembered that it was Mr. Ward who headed the list with. £100, it would be recognised that the scene that'afternoon was a fitting finale to tho heartiest and most spontaneous cfi'orts Wellington had ever witnessed. Mr. Wilford then asked Miss Palotta to accept a silver jewel case, which ho hoped she would keep as a token of regard from her well-wishers in Wellington.' (Applause.) "Thank you so much," said Miss Palotta. "Wo. love to do this for the children."

Mr. Wilford then handed to Mr. Ward a gold cigarette case, as. a memento' of tlio esteem and regard in which they nil hold him. (Applause.) When the applause slackened,. Mr. F. W. Kaybittlo, from the dross circle, onllod for three cheers for Mr. Ward, which was followed by the great chorus, "For He's a Jolly Good Fellow," This

was followed by cheers for Miss Grace Palotta, ami again for Mr. and Mrs. Wilford. Mr.- Hugh Ward was accorded an ovation on coming forward. He said that the first duty that devolved upon him was to give- an account of the money they had received, which was represented by two cheques he would hand to the Mayoress. Tho contribution of himself and his company was as follows:— ■ ■ . • £ s. d. Money in house 249 8 6 Money collected in streets... 104 7 1 Sale of programmes and photographs 13 13 9 Advertisements oil programmes 45 0. fl Sale of sweets. 47 13 4 Cheque from Mr. Ward ... 100 0 0 Total £560 2 8 This announcement was received with a roar of applause. The sum mentioned does not stand alone —it meant, with- the Government subsidy of 245. in the £', no less a sum than £1230. Mr. Ward, aftor giving the Mayoress credit for the idea, said he had first to pay. a tribute to the orchestra, tho theatre staff, and all who had given their services free that afternoon. Ho wished also to thank Mr. Parrington for securing the advertisements for the programme, the "Post" for printing the programmes for nothing, and last, but. by no means least, his company—(applause)—the members of which ho held in the warmest regard.' "To see those faces shining up in' the rain—it was all very bo'autil'ul and good. ... I would rather not go into other questions. Out of respect to my profession and my company I declino to discuss thorn." (Prolonged applause!) Mr. Wilford came forward again to announce that, the financial result <Sf the matinee", £460, had brought tho total up to £4500 2s. Bd. They would remember that the Rev. Mr. Van Staveren had stated that ho' knew of one who would contribute £500 if tho sum of £4500 was raised. They now had 2s. Bd.' over that 'sum, and' tho £500 would bo forthcoming. That 'would mean that they would be. in a position to approach the Government for £6000 subsidy on tho amount which had been collected. Ho had just received a message from tho hoys at tho Petono Workshops to the effect that they had collected £21, and the 83 lists which were out were filling satisfactorily. This would mean that they -would' be ablo to provide the furnishings for the now hospital—the bost possible beds and tho best furnishings. They hoped before next Saturday to be in a position to hand over 6000 sovereigns to the Hospital Board. (Applause.) Oh the call of Mr. F. W. Haybittlo,. who stated that the Mayor and Mayoress were maintaining the high traditions of the offices they held,- cheers, wore given for Mr. and Mrs. Wilford.' . '

The following are the inscriptions to bs placed on the presentations to Miss Palotta'and Mr.'Hugh Ward:—. _ "Grace Palotta, from citizens of Wellington, N.Z., in grateful remembrance of assistance given to the Children's Hospital Fund. August 13, 1010'." ■ "Hugh J. Ward, from citizens of Wellington, N.Z., in recognition of his splendid practical sympathy, toward the Children's Hospital Fund. August 13, 1910." ■ •'■■ • atthe farewell performance •. Mr ward has something ■:>., ••. to say: At the conclusion of the final performance of ."The Foncing Master," witnessed by a largo audence at the Opera House on Saturday evening, Mr. Hugh Ward, in response to loud calls, came forward to thank the audience and the public of Wellington very sincerely for tho manner in which they had treated .him. "I would like to say something about the nonsensical things which had been said about .the-theatre)',' continued Mr. Ward. "Surely to-night you've heard nothing; but beautiful things— emotions so istroiig and beautiful that I find myself i struggling. to control my own 'emotions iii depicting those of tho character.. From reflecting humanity on tho stage wo met humanity to-day, and found nothing but kindness and generosity everywhere. Some, men gave ail they had. One.who had no change actually gave mo a five dollar gold piece . mounted as a pendant' to sell for the fund. I tun'giving a pound for it as a memento' of the spirit of tho day. Then I had another delightful experience. The Jewish Rabbi (the Rev. Van Staveren) rang.mo up to tell me that tho cheque for £500 was all right,' and that it was the donation of Mr. T. G. Macarfchy and his wife. (Applause.) The money was got so quickly to-day that I don't know how much there is altogether, something over £5000." (Applause.) Mr. Ward went on to say that it was surely unfair to condemn anything unheard, and those ' who went to. tho theatre caii safely say that they, go to .see the good things produced, for right down the line from Shakespeare the stage had. been made tho medium forthe expression of tho greatest emotions and the most beautiful'thoughts. On behalf of his company and himself Mr. Ward said ho thanked all'present from the bottom of his heart. (Applause.)

Cheers were then given for Mr. Ward and his company, and the entire audience joined in singing "Auld Lang Syne." THE TOTAL STILL RISING. Although the Children's Hospital Fund has already attained a total greatly in excess of -what Mrs. Wilford expected when she initiated its collection,, it has not yet reached. its terminal point. ■ There was ho lull yesterday as -might have been: anticipated- after tho strenuous activity of Saturday. All day long Mr. Wilford received news of fresh donations, including • several important amounts from churches and other public bodies. The names of Mr. and Mrs. T. G. Macarthy appear on today's list opposite a sum of- £500. This is the donation announced as impending by the Rev. H. Van Staveren at the meeting in the Town Halt on Thursday last. Mr'. Wilford stated last evening, that Mrs. Wilford and he had nothing to add to what they had already said. "Wo feel," he ■ said,, "that the' result speaks far more eloquently than wo can." AFTERNOON TEA. '■" Mrs. Lee, of the r 'Tiffin." Tea Rqdms. very kindly supplied the Hugh Ward Company with afternoon tea at the matinee on Saturday. Tables were set at the back'of the stage. Included in the, party were the Mayoress and tho young ladies who assisted by selling programmes and sweets. The littlo function was an'enjoyable feature in.a busy day. SUNDAY CONCERT. 'About two thousand people attended tho concert which was given by the Garrison Band at tho Town Hall last night, in aid of tho Children's Hospital Fund. The audience was a very appreciative one. Following was the programme:— Overture: "Past and Present" ;'quartet, "Norma"; toiior solo, "Angels Guard Thee," Mr. Fletcher (encored); selection, "Don Giovanni"; trombone solo, "Enchantment;" Mr. Glennie; tenor solo, "Sunset," Mr. Fletcher (encored); gavotte, "Sweet Spring,"; inarch, "Romano." Lieutenant Herd conducted the band, and Mr. D. Kenny accompanied on tho piano. Tho concert realised £2S 3s. lOd. THE POST OFFICE LISTS. The sum of £50 already acknowledged as from tho post office and the tolephono oxchangc included subscriptions from the various branches of the General Post Offico: tho chief post office, telegraph ollice, telegraph engineer's office, and tho telephone exchange. . Tho Post and Telegraph lists arc still circulating, and have reached £53, with a promiso of being still further increased. '

s CHURCH COLLECTIONS. The retiring collections taken at' the Kent Church yesterday in aid of the Children's Hospital Fund realised. £40 75., 2d.. At St. James's Presbyterian Church (South AVellington) the sum raised was £15 2s. Gd. Collections in aid of the fund are 'to, be taken up in the various Roman, j Catholic churches on Sunday next. SILVER MISSION BAND. As tho result of the special performance given in aid of the fund by tho' Silver Mission Hand, the Mini of £ .'5 was collected, and will lxs duly forwarded to the Mayor. KELBURNE TEA KIOSK. The whole of the. takings at the Kelburno Tea Kinsk yesterday are to bo handed over to tho fund. Jupp's Band played in the grounds. There was a very large concourse of people, and the total takings amounted to £23 os. Gd. It was hoped that the proceeds would have been still greater. Tho management made provision for catering for £10 worth of custom in addition to that actually received, and but for the fact that tho building was taxed to_ its utmost capacity ' this hope would have been realised. There is in consequonce a quantity of eatables left over, and this is offered for sale at bargain rates, the proceeds to bn added to the amount already collected for tho Children's Hospital Fund.
