TEN PER CENT. WHAT DOES IT MEAN? It may mean anything: or nothing, but in this instance it means that the very best English bicycle may bo secured at the D.I.C. Cycle Agency Department at a genuine reduction of 10 per cent., or 2s in tho for spot cash. Determined to do everything in a thorough manner, and to fall in line with their great clearance .sale, tho D.I.C. havo arranged with tho Aiig-10-Now Zealand Cycle Agency, who hold the sol« aßcni-y for New Zealand for tho well-known Osmond, G'lobo, and other cycles, to mako tho above liberal spot cash discount, but llic concession will hold for 21 days only. It must bo remembered that tho guarantee is given that all bicycles offered by tho D.I.C. are new, up-to-date models, and must not bo confounded with the multitude ot poorly constructed and low grade machines with which our city has been inundated. —A»vt.

Mr. Scobie Mackenzie, M.11.R., goes South by the Rotomahana to-night, having been summoned home on account of tho death of his mother at the ripe age of 92. The first of the two concerts to be given this week by the Festival Choral Society will take place at the Opera House to-morrow evening, when Gade's picturesque cantata, " The Crusaders," will be performed. The work is one of the best examples of the great Danish composer's genius, and when produced in Wellington by the Harmonic Society some years ago it was enthusiastically received by music-lovers. At the second concert, to be held on Friday night, Handel's " Judas Maccabams" will be performed. St. Paul's Schoolroom, Sydney-street, was crpwded to the doors last evening when a number of past and present scholars of the Girls' High School performed Mr. George R. Sims' comedietta " A l)re*a Rehearsal." hi spite of some little deficiencies inevitable in productions of such a nature in such a place, and by amateurs, the young ladies managed to keep tho audience in a simmer of laughter for a couple of hours.
