Already a large number of tickets have been disposed of, and as a good programme of miscellaneous Items has been prepared, the attendance will probably ba satisfactory to the pro* moters. A Southland paper puts it thus:— lf Mr Ward has oommitfced a wrong, Sonthland is .an accessory. If the Colonial Bank's money was ill-gotten, Southland benefited. It Mr Ward is mined, South* land la made. Southland is the gainer, Mr Ward is the scapegoat, the Colonial Bank shareholders are the losers. The Philharmonic Sooiety'a ooncert takes place in the Athenoeatn buildings this evening. A most successful rehearsal was held last night the ohorus giving evidence of careful training by the conductor, Mr W. T. Sharp, while the soloists are established favorites.

A number of beautiful views will be exhibitod by means of the limelight, and an extremely pleasant evening may be anticipated.

At half-past 7 yesterday morning several enthusiastic citizens planted themselves in front of Messrs Howe Bros. 1 premises awaiting the opening of the booking-office of the Royal Comic Opera Company, and from the time the doors were open till mid-day a host of theatregoers streamed in to pick out their seats for the opening night or the season. Standing room Is likely to be at a premium in the Theatre Royal nest Tnesday night. There were several amusing incidents at the Sheffield Park match during the Australians' innings, says The People (London), The country people, who many of them had honored the occasion with the delicious fashions of 30 years ago, had all of them come for the day, and not necessarily for the crlokei, They strolled abont the field of play in the most casual fashion, and once the game was stopped while an elderly lady wearing a beaded bonnet strode determinedly across the ground carrying a baby. Some discussion took place at the meeting of the Education Board yesterday, when a circular was read notifying that) the Minister of Justice oould not allow any police officer to accept official appointment as truant officer from the secretary of a Hoard of Education, though the police had been interacted to '' oautiously ascertain if on their beats, patrols, or seotlona there were any children . ■ . nob attending sohosl in contravention of the law."
