WELLINGTON WING WHISPERS.

Bi Peteb Pan. February 22. Dear " Pasquin,—You know that old saw about "the best-laid plans," etc. Well, it was exemplified here on Tuesday morning. Miss Marjone Sims and Mr Richard White, of the Jack Waller "Look Who's Here" Company, had an engagement with a clergyman on Tuesday morning, when they intended to fix matters so that one signature on the salary sheet would do for both of them. But as Field Fisher says, "There was a little accident," and instead of the ceremony being witnessed by only the necessary witnesses, the whole of the members of the comnanv, who by some means had come to hear of the event (funny how these things do leak out I), and a number of local friends of the bride and bridegroom were interested spectators. The much-embarrassed couple were bombed unmercifully with confetti, and were carried off to the Rialto, where a true Bohemian wedding breakfast was held, speeches made, and songs sung. In the evening, at the Opera House, the happy couple received quite a number of presents, and were entertained at supper. Malini, the magician, concluded a most successful season at the Concert Chamber on Saturday evening. The little wizard left for Auckland on Tuesday. . After the season there he will tour the Dominion under the guidance of Scott Colville. The Tossing Testros are back in New Zealand again, and opened on the Fuller circuit at His Majesty's on Tuesday. Bonita and Lee, sharpshooters and stockwhip experts, are also on the bill. Among the other turns Denny and Dunigan, comedy artists, stand out). Business is good. It is now stated that our Easter attraction will be the Fuller Company, headed by Allan Wilkio in " Seven Days Leave."
