NAPIER NOTES.
[Fhom Ouk Own Correspondent.]
Napier, September 26
Ther was a very poor attendance at the Theatre Royal last night when the adjourned debate on Prohibition between Mr Sutton and Dr Hosking was continued. Both talked a ton of nonsense to a hundred weight of sense, and both left the lines set down and wandered at large and got lost in a maze of figures. There were occasional interruptions and outbursts of applause mostly ironical, and a vote of thanks to the chair concluded a most unsatisfactory and unsatisfying " debate." Perhaps the Hastings " season " will be livelier.
A very enjoyable concert was given in the Athenaeum last night by a number of local amateurs. The building was crowded, and encores were frequent. The programme was a good one, songs being given by Mrs Lusk, the Misses Guy, Tanner, and May Guy, and Messrs H, Fannin, -J. Maginnity, and Rupert Gibson. Mr J. G. Swan gave a reading, and Messrs Gibson, Jackson, Ludbrook, and H. Martin a quartette.
