Lord Charles Bores!ord collects ballprogrammes as a hobby, especially favoring those painted by lady artists. - The “Wanganui Herald” writes strongly on the booking of seats for the forthcoming opera'; the waiting- for which began shortly after dark on a recent Sunday evening. The whole night was spent in the open air watching, for 8 a.m. to arrive. Our contemporary says there wore many comments as to the propriety of such a proceeding on a Sunday evening. The Wanganui public generally are said to regard the practice as both idiotic and unnecessary, and express tho opinion that the Borough Council, which owns the Opera House, should devise some mo,re sensible and convenient method of booking.
