THE COLONIST Published Daily-(Mornings) Nelson, Thursday, June 11, 1891.

FaoM time immemorial the dauca has played an important part in the history of nations. The pent op emotions have found vent in the triumphal dance of victory, and sadness and despair have for the time been relegated to the shades of forgetfulness and oblivion ; sweet strains of musio now lure as on to tread the mazy dance, and youth and beauty mingle amid its enchanting melody. The requisite and necessary oostame and other items of dress for suoh occasions are famished in the most satisfactory manner at the establishment of E. J Warner & Co., Hall of Commerce.

Lime Light Exhibition..— A large number of very interesting views will be shown at the Theatre Royal this evening by means of powerful lenses and the lime light. The pictures will in elude a series of some 90, descriptive of the lights and shades of London life, besides views on the overland route, humorous scenes, looal soenes, and effect scenes. This exhibition is one that should attract a very large audience. Rifle Shooting. — The third and final competition of the year for the Lioensed Victullars Belt and Munoaster Cup were fire! for on the Brightwater range, when Sergt Doidge made the highest average score, a feat which he has now sucoeeded in accomplishing two years in sucoeseion, and therefore the belt beoomes his own property. The following are the five highest aggregates : — Sergt Doidge, Stoke Rifles „ 194 P-tEwai., Ci.y Rifles.. .. 188 Lieut Ching, Stoke Rifles .. 187 Pvt Irvine, Waimea Rifles „ 186 Crpl Giblin, Stoke Rifles .. 180 Messbs Dee and Sons Establishment.—Tbis well known firm of tailors, hatters, mercers &c , are ju_t completing some alterations to their Trafalgar Btreet premises, whioh will have the effect of adding considerably to the convenience of their customers, and at the same time facilitate the business carried on by the firm. In the past the tailoring business was confined to tbe Bridge street premises, the Trafalgar Btreet shop beiDg solely devoted to the sale of mercery good, hats &q„ although the two shops were practically connected at the back. Now however, while the Bridge street place of business will be oarried on in the usual manner, customers calling at tbe Trafalgar street _hop can have aU their requirements attended to. At the end of this shop, which extends a considerable distanoe baok from the street, a large window has been placed, thus securing more light, and a glass partition bas been elected, providing a private apartment whera measurements may be taken and garments fitted. All the way down the right hand side of the mercery shop, as one enters from Trafalgar street, are shelves on whioh a great variety of tweeds &o are displayed, and as the tailors work rooms are at the rear of this shop, as well as at the back of the Bridge street premises, Messrs Dee and Sons customers will be equally well attended to whiohever of their establishments they may enter. Weather Repoet. — Captain Edwin reported yesterday that there was every indication ot unsettled weather with a falling barometer in all parts of the oountry between midnight last night and midnight on the 24th inst. Salvation Army Labor Bureau. — We have received circulars from Colonel R. Bailey, of the Salvation Army, relative to the Central Labor Bureau just opened in Christchurch. Offices have been opened in Manchester street, where files of newspapers are kept, and where writing materials, aro supplied to enable employers and workers to correspond Registers are kept at the office, in whioh are reoorded free of oharge the wants of both olasses, and thesa registers are open for inspection. The unemployed are permitted to scan the newspapers filed there, 'and search for advertisements bb to work offering, while practically every officer of the Salvation Army throughout tha Colony is to act as an agent with the object of finding work for tbe unem. ployed. These practical efforts on behalf of those requiring assistance to get work are worthy of all support. Oddfbllowship.— After the transaction of ordinary business at the meeting of tbe members of the Loyal Howard Lodge 1.0.0. F M.U., last evening, Bro Huff am gave a very interesting lecture on Astronomy. There was a good attendance present, and the lecture was listened to with evident pleasure', Mr Huffam receiving a vote of thanks. Prov G.M Bro Moyes oooupied the chair last evening, and acted as Lecture Master during an initiation. The Bishop op Nelson.— We are sorry to learn that the Bishop had another seizure on Tuesday morning, its nature being similar to the last attack, though lees severe. Hiß Lordship regained consciousness the same evening, and passed a good night. County Councils.— A Conference is about to be held in Wellington, whereat tbe Chairmen of County Councils affected by the abolition of the gold duty will be present. Mr P. Brennan, Chairman ef the Inangahua County Council, will leave Nelson for the seat of Government by to-day's steamer. We learn that the Reefton Council will lose very nearly £5000 a year owing to the abolition of the gold duty, and the question aa to how roads are to be kept open, and the fun Qtiona of the County Councils generally are to be performed in cases where the accustomed revenue is being so seriously diminished, is one of very grave importance. The - deliberations at this Conference and the conclusion arrived at will be looked forward to with interest. Church Itehb.— We hear that the Bey H; 1 Marshall, of Wakefield, has been presented with the living of Hessett, in Suffolk, of whioh pariah he is to become the Sector. It is stated that the Rev C. Jennings, now stationed ac Takaka, will be appointed to Wakefield. Correspondence. — We have received a lengthy letter signed « From your Own Correspondent," but as it is not from our Own Correspoudent the signature alone would compel a refusal oi the communication. The letter, however, is full of personal references, and bad it borne a more proper signature would still have been declined. Art Union op Oil Painting..— Some few months baok an art union was announced, the prizes to be drawn for being a number of admirable oil paintings by Miss K. White. We understand chat a number Of tickets have been applied for in Nelson, and that a considerable number have been taken up elsewhere, in consequence of whioh it is intended to arrange for the drawing to take place at an early date.
