WANTON DESTRUCTION.
DRESSES CUT TO PIECES. AN INEXPLICABLE ACT. [B* TELEGRAPH. —OWN COBBESPONDENT.] WELLINGTON. Tuesday A a extraordinary act of vandalism was perpetrated here the other day. Under the. direction of Mr. Pat Wf.rd, youngest BonjOf Sir Joseph Ward, a very successful revue, in which well-known Wellington amateurs were engaged, was being played for a charity. Two dresses used by one of the girl members of the company, one of which was lent, and an antique xug lent by a. Wellington lady, were found to have been deliberately cut to pieces. The dresses had been left in the dressing room of the' concert chamber of the Town Hall and someone, out of petty spite, apparently, did the damage during the afternoon. No one among the performers has any idea why any one should have indulged in such a mad freak.
