The~ annual distribution of prizes at the Wellington College has been fixed for Saturday week, at 2 p.m., when his Excellency the Governor will preside. _- _ . . The Waxworks Exhibition in the Odd Fellows' Hall was very well attended yesterday, the show of figures apparently being especially - Attractive in the evening, when it was visited by a large number of persons; ~- - We are requested to direct special attention to the notification in another column that the weekly rehearsals of Handel's "Messiah" will begin punctually at half-past 7 each Thursday evening^ instead of 8 as formerly. The Star of Wellington Lodge will hold its usual weekly ssssion this evening at half-prst seven o'clock. The nightly lectures nt the Plirenologic.nl Institute continue to attract atteutiou, and frequently pretty numerous audiences: # On Tuesday jiiglit there was a special lecture to men on " Life Force, how wasted, and how conserved." Last night the subject was, •"' What is the use of Phrenology ? " There are several other interesting lectures for ensuing nights. Each evening's entertainment concludes with a public examination of some persons present, and the descriptions of character aud ability are remarkably connect. Referring to some recent vagaries and maunderings of " the Colonial Journal," the Wairarapa Standard explains " that several escaped lunatics are at present known to be at large, and that possibly one of them has found an asylum in the editorial office of our contemporary." That is very likely. We beg to call attention to the opening qf i the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church of New Zealand in St. John's Church, this evening, at 7.30 o'clock. The Rev. Mr. Paterson will preach the opening sermon ; the assembly will p'so be addressed by the new Moderator. At the Theatre Royal last evening, Signor and Signora Majeroni took their joint benefit, and made their final appearance to a very full house. The play selected for the occasion was "Jealousy," one of their happiest' efforts. It wns performed throughout in capital style, recalls and showers of bouquets being the order of the night. At the conclusion, Signora Majeroni came forward and delivered a graceful little address of farewell, finally retiring with her husband amid a storm of applause and bouquets. This evening Mr. Walton, the English comedian, who comes with a very high reputation, will make his first appearance in Wellington, taking the, part of Digby Grant in the new comedy, "The Two Roses," described as a most amusing play. He will have the able support of Mr. J. P. Hydes as " Mr. Jenkins," and the piece will be produced in the best possible style. His Excellency the Governor has accorded his patronage on the occpsion. There was again a very good attendance last evening at St. George's Hall, and the entertainment passed off with its usual success. To-night we notice that Lecocq's opera bouffe " Girofle Girofla" will be produced, with new scenery and appointments — a performance which should di'aw a crowded house, and especially seeing that the management has made, every preparation for its production as completely as jjossible. In the intervals between the acts Herr Schott will give his noted instrumental solos. The Secretary of the Star Cricket Club has received a letter from the Secretary of the Wairarapa Cricketers' Association, stating that they wish to play the annual combined match with the Star Club at Greytown on Friday and Saturday, 28th and 29th instant. The Masterton Local team also intend playing at Masterton on Boxing Day. It is also probable that the Greytown and Featherston Clubs will play a separate match on their respective grounds. The Star Club will thus nave a busy week in the Wairarapa. After we went to press yesterday Mr. Sidey disposed of the following shops in the Arcade privately, at a uniform rental of 20s. per week : — Mr. Isaacs, barber, Molesworth-street, one stall ; Mr. C. A. Collings, milk and butter dealer, of the Hutt, one stall ; Mr. Celowes, of Tory-street, one stall. Several applications have been made to-day, but, not finally accepted. The Arcade will be open for business on Saturday, the loth instant. What everybody says must be true. And what does everybody say? Why, that as a strcngthener of tlie weak, an invigorant of the organs of digestion and excretion, a solace for the aged and decrepit, as a season medicine, a remedy for uterine, kidney and bladder complaints, a protection against changes of air, water, and diet, and an antidote to the consequences of dissipation, late hours and overwork, that Udolpho Wolfe's Scheidam Aromatic Schnapps is absolutely matchless. — [Advt.]
