The performance was well received and warmly applauded, many items being enthusiastically fc encored. The valuation data of the Government » Insurance Department for the quinquennium ended 3lst December last, will be forwarded ■ to the eminent British aotuaries, Messrs " Bailey, Hardy, and King, by the Arawa, 5 whioh leaves Lyttelton to-day. It is anticipated that the investigation, the result of whioh will most probably be announced in >, about five months time, will Bhow a hand--3 same surplus for division amongst the policyl holders. The total business of the depart--3 ment in existence on the 31st December last , wsb 28 000 policies for £7,807,792, besides i 162 annuity policies for £5668 yearly.

The skipper replied, 3 ' Not since I brought down the last oargo of i pigs,' This completely upset the gravity of the > Honourable and genial Dick Seddon, and he i roared with laughter. i A cable message in a Melbourne evening l paper says :— lt is reported that H.R.H. the 3 Prince of Wales has bsen prevailed upon .by i Her Majesty the Queen, who is greatly dis- ) tressed by the card-sharping scandal which is L how a prominent topic of Conversation, in 1 which the Prince of Wales played the part of i a victim, to abjure gaming practices. Under t strong pressure it is alleged that the Prince i oi Wales has signed a document undertaking , to abstain from card playing for the rest of i his life. The . gambling' mania has much - increased of late, and it is asserted that the r pace has been very hot in most of the large ? West End Clubs. The fact that it was under 3 the patronage of the Prince of Wales and i other influential gentlemen has induced 5 many to play for sums beyond their means, 1 and there have been cases of great hardship r reported. 1 Gbbtahu/z the best medioine known is 3 Sander aud Sons Eucalypti Extract.
