A meeting of the Auckland Gasworks Employees Union was held on Saturday evening in Sexton's Hall, Karangahape Road. The President, Mr. Charles Ruge, occupied the chair. The business, which was of an entirely routine character, was put through in a little over half-an-hour, when the president declared the meeting adjourned, and about forty members settled down to the enjoyment of a smoke concert. After the usual loyal and patriotic toasts had been duly honoured, the President proposed "Success to the Union, may it never die," and the Vice-President proposed " Prosperity to our Employers," both of which were responded to in a very hearty manner. The remainder of the evening was devoted to songs, recitations, and musical selections, prom inenta inongst the performers being Messrs. Turner, Green, Fotlieringham, Roper. Ruge, and Weih'im. •», The catering, which was entrusted to Messrs. .McCowatt and Gray, though homely, was plentiful, and gave genera! satisfaction. A ino.«t enjoyable evening was brought to a close on the stroke of twelve to the timehonoured strains of " Auld Lang Syne."

The children of St.. Sepulchre's and St. Barnabas' Sunday-schools enjoyed their annual treat on Saturday, file outing Inking the form of a picnic to Lake Takapnna. From '250 to 800 children, under Mr. Hammond, superintendent, and the school teacher*, left in the afternoon for the Lake by the ferry steamer Britannia, and owing to the threatening state of the weather a number of those who intended to join in the outing turned back. In spile of occasional showers the children enjoyed themselves thoroughly. Mr. C. S. Ouorge kindly threw open his grounds to the picnicers and contributed largely to their enjoyment in various ways, and rides on a donkey in his grounds proved a great, attraction to the young folks. Others enjoyed themselves with races and games on the beach, and, happy though tired, they re-embarked in the evening for Auckland, and were safely landed without hitch or accident.
