Ebt Charles Clark. —The return to Christchurch of the most popular lecturer that ever came here will be a welcome event, not only to those who remember the brilliant orator, but to the new generation that have only heard of him. More than twelve . years have elapsed since thronged audiences assembled nightly in the Oddfellows’ Hall to hear him illustrate Dickens or Thackeray, or describe the Tower of London or Westminster Abbey; and although during the last ten years (several famous men have made lecturing tours in the Colonies, none ever achieved so great a success as Mr Clark. He has been lecturing continuously since he returned to the Colonies about nine months ggo, all accounts describe him as being a more brilliant lecturer than ever. During last week he drew large audiences to the Wellington Opera House, and his opening lecture in the Oddfellows’ Hall here has bepn fixed for next Monday. Thb Brantford Binder.— A trial of this machine took place in a field of oats HftHT the racecourse, Ashburton, on Saturday. Owing to a strong Nor’-wester blowing not a, great many farmers were ■present, thinking, no doubt, that no would risk its reputation by living a trial under such difficult circumstances. But the agent of the machine Irenfc on with the trial. The machine (hat was tried was a new seven-foot but that had never tied a sheaf before; but from the time that the horses were harnessed , on, it did its work splendidly, taot a single hitch taking place or a loose pheaf being thrown off during the whole that onr reporter was present. Although this machine has only been in the district two seasons, it has gained an ezOfcllent name for itself. In light, uneven CTOM it does excellent work, and to show bbac it can also manage heavy ones, a fa* mar present said that he had cut a isrenty bushel crop with one of these last season, opening up and all, lod it had done it well. The expert in bt&hdahce, Mr Sliger, gave .farmers all (necessary information, and altogether the trial was very satisfactory.

In the evening the members of the Club hold their first annual dinner at the A 1 Hotel, where they spent a pleasant flrroßirT-

They open at the New Princess’ Theatre, Hokitika, in The Shaughraun on Friday night. Railway Excursions.— ln consequence of the cheap holiday tickets, the issue of which commenced on Saturday, the express train to the South was much more crowded than usual, la addition to the ordinary passenger traffic to the nearer stations, about one hundred people availed themselves of the cheap fares to Timaru, Oamaru and Dunedin.

The Bands’ Art Union.—The result of the art union got up by the Christchurch bands to clear off the deficit on the band contest of November, 1889, has been most satisfactory. After paying off all liabilities there remains a credit; balance of £99 10s 9d. The Committee and their energetic Secretary are to be congratulated on the result, and the bandsmen of Christchurch have also reason to be specially grateful to the Honorary Treasurer, Mr J. A. M'Cullogh. The Governor. The Governor and party left Christchurch for Dunedin by the express train on Saturday. His Excellency took Lady Onslow on Friday to see the house which lately belonged to tho Hon W. Eobinson, and which Hia Excellency inspected in October last with a view to renting it.

He hopes to spend a few days in Christchurch before returning to Wellington to open Parliament. The Hospital Escapee.— James Davis, the man who escaped from the Hospital on Tuesday last with only his trousers, shirt and stockings on, was discovered on Friday night by Sergeant M'Grath, camped in some gorse bushes near the foot of the Port hills not far from the Convalescent Home. The man was undoubtedly insane, and was brought up at the Eesident Magistrate’s Court on Saturday and committed by Messrs E. Westenra and S. D. Barker to Sunnyside, on the advice of two medical men. “The Messiah.’’— The Hon Secretary of the Christchurch Motett Society writes: —“ Will you kindly contradict by a ‘ local ’ the report that ‘ The Messiah ’ concert on Friday was given by the Christchurch Motett Society. The concert was tendered by Madame Burton’s Company, assisted by the chorus and conductor of the Motett Society.” It may also be stated that the hall was crowded, many being unable to obtain admission, some of these remaining outside to enjoy the music. The Company proceeded on Saturday night to Wellington, where this evening they will give the first of two sacred concerts in the Opera House, in conjunction with the Harmonic Society, Kaiapoi Regatta. —A meeting of this Committee was held on Saturday night, at Burnip’a Hotel, Dr Crompton Parsons in the chair.

Considerable regret was expressed that the entries for the Senior Fours and Ladies’ Plate were not more numerous, and several members of Committee were in favour of extending the time for closing entries to Monday night. The meeting thou closed. Theatre Royal. —One of the chief attractions in town for Boxing Night—and one which will, no doubt, be exceedingly well attended—is,the opening performance of the London Bellringers and Musical Novelty Company fa the Theatre Eoyal. The Company have lately arrived from Australia, where they were spoken of in very high terms of praise by the Press, and these opinions have been very heartily endorsed by the Press of the North Island, where the Company have been doing remarkably good business. The musical entertainment is said to be an excellent one, and the very funny burlesque and pantomimic sketches introduced during the course of the. performance are said to be refined and without the least trace of vulgarity, or the “music hall” stamp. The company have their own brass band with them, and have besides one of the cleverest cornet soloists in these Colonies, Herr Von der Mehdeh. The entertainment by its excellence should command big houses during the Christmas week. The Cathedral. —The services at the Cathedral yesterday were of a special nature. There was an ordination service in the morning, and in the afternoon the rite of confirmation was administered. There was a fairly numerous congregation at each service. In the morning, Mr Cocks, son of the Eev H. B. Cocks, incumbent of Sydenham, was ordained a deacon by the Eight Eev tho Bishop of Christchurch. The exhortation before the ceremony was delivered by the Rev H. B. Cocks, who, taking for his test part of a vers© in the sixth chapter of the Acts of the Apostles, “And they laid hands upon them,” gave the history of the institution of the office of deacon—the first step in the career of a minister of the church—and spoke of the necessity which brought that office into being, and which stillexisted, and of the duties and responsibilities which appertained to it. The hymns were in keeping with the occasion, and the anthem “ how Lovely ” was sung. In the afternoon, a confirmation service was held, there being eleven candidates, members of the choir and the Cathedral school. Prior to the ceremony, the Bishop, in a very impressive address, pointed out to the candidates its significance, and, at its conclusion, he spokt to them in earnest terms of the responsibilities which they had assumed. Christchurch Swimming Club. Two hours’ amusement was afforded at the West Christchurch school balls on the occasion of the annual display given by the members of the Club. Among the spectators were a number of ladies. The arrangements were excellently carried out by the Committee under Captain A. Francis; The programme began with a display of springboard diving, in which the antics Of Mr G. Jackson caused mu eh merriment. The tub race in heats was won by H. Laurenson, most of the competitors coming to grief in their attempts to navigate their unwieldy craft. A aeries of fifty yards scratch races resulted in a vietory for J. Crummie, and tho Sub-Captnin W. E. Sneddon won the 25yds electric dash. D. H. Caahbolt won the 50yds steeplechase, Crummie and Jewiss won the p.ck-a-back race, and Merrie the 50yds back race. The leapfrog race, African surf-board race, rescue from drowning, all served to show the proficiency of the members. Sir W. E. Sneddon won considerable applaiae by plunging 49fb Sin. The match at water polo between teams from the rival Clubs, East and West Christchurch brongafc the programme to a close. This resulted in a win for the Christchurch Club by two goals to one.

The Premier’s Soliloquy. —According to “ Oivis,” in the Otago Daily Times, Sir Harry Atkinson is supposed to commune thus: — To bide or not to bide: that is the question; Whether ’tie better for us still to bear The slings and arrows of outrageous Ballauce Or to sink arms beneath a sea of troubles. And, by resigning, end them ? To go, resign; No more ; and by resigning say we end The heartache, and the thousand painful snubs The Cabinet’s heir to; ’tis a consummation Devoutly to be wished. To go, resign— Easign : perchance to starve : ay, there’s the rub. For in resigning, ugh! what straits may come. When we have shuffled off the benches here. Must give us pause: there’s the respect That makes s Ministry thus cling to life ; For who would bear the whips and scorns of Eeeves, Dick Seddon’a tongue and Cadman’s contumely. The fangs of Hutchison, the claws of Grey, The insolence of Fish, and all the spurns That patient Mitchelson and t’others took When we ourselves could our quietus make With a bare penstroke ? Who would fardels bear. To grunt and sweat under a weary life, But that the dread of losing place and pay. On Opposition benches from whose bourne We never may return, puzzles the will. And makes us rather bear the ills we have Than fly to others that we know of old P Thus office does make cowards of us all. And thus the native hue of resignation la sickbed o’er with the pale cast of fright. And independence, honour, duty, all. In this respect their currents turn away. And lose the name of action. How a Gladstone Speech was Exported. —The venerable statesman, says a Scottish contemporary, began hia speech at 4.6 p.m. and finished at 5.30; the last of the reporters’ “ copy ” was in the printers’ hands—at a distance of half a mde off—at 5.38; the formes of type were made up and sent to press at 5.50; twelve minutes were spent in the stereotyping room; tho machines were set rolling at 6.2; and boys with bundles of papers were selling in all directions a minute or two afterwards, the completed report being published half an hour before any other. Thera were in all over six colnmns of a report, of which almost five columns were devoted to Mr Gladstone's speech word for word. Nine of the reporters formed the note-taking corps proper; another took what is known as a “ check note,” a third acted as “ timekeeper.” No. 1 took a shorthand note for one minute. No. 3 followed; and soon. No. I, of course, had time to write up his notes before his turn came round after No. 0 had completed his note-taking. In the later stages the “ turns ” were reduced to half a minute each. One reporter had charge of the collection and arrangement of the “ copy,” and as each “ section ” was ready it was handed to a boy, whose duty it was to act as go between from the reporters to an outside messenger at the door. From this door at the Corn Exchange to the newspaper office there was a chain of boys, each with a beat of about 200 yards. Each boy on receiving copy ran forward to his nearest neighbour, returning afterwards to his former post, and in this way the various sections were delivered at the printing office in an incredibly short time—more quickly, indeed, than by cab or horse. At headquarters fifty-four compositors in their order each took up a sheet of the “ copy.” The operation of setting up each, sheet would only occupy three or four minutes. The report was out of hand within a minute or two of setting down, and all without a hitch;
