" MY SWEETHEART." TO-MORROW AXD FRIDAY NIGHT AT THE OPERA HOUSE. The-muoli-discussed "My Sweetheart" will make her initial appearance to-mor-row evening at the Opera House, which we hope to see packed to the doors. The rehearsal last evening went capitally, principals, chorus, and orchestra are al* thoroughly well versed, and the show goes .with that smoothness which promises a successful'•; public -'appearance. ! The 'children- vai-e. p&nticularJy .good, eithe£;TivM}e romping : wiiyuTtf iiys. or dur.r. i.ngvtjheir $ns?n songs .aM-feilpgpS^or the eldefljr''Farmer * Hatzell to deplore-the fact "that " he vas not so young as he used to vas." Their " SeeSaw " solo and ohorns is siwe to be a popular turn. In fact all the songs and dances introduced are very appropriate, •and the manner in which they are sung leaves no cause for complaint. With this verdict we are sure the public who attend will readily agree. t The stage accessories are very complete, and tho:-e who wisli to spend a pleasant evening cannot <lo batter than patronise out hard-working amateurs.

An important point affecting public bodiei "and tendering cropped up at a mcetinf; of the Napier Hospital Board. Somo timo ago tho Board let a contract to r. Southern1 firm to instal a plant for r. steam laundry. Tenders were not called, and local firms were not given v, chance of competing. As a result, the Board was served with notice that unlesi tho contract was cancelled, and tenders publicly called, application would be made to tho Supreme Court fov an injunction. Tho Board's solicitor wrote that tho course followed was illegal, an:l the matter was deferred, but in faco of the law, the Board appear to have no alternative but to cancol tho contract. Tho honorary medical stafi of tho Hospital, in a detailed report to tho Board, recommend tho erection oi' an entirely new building, providing accommodation for 142 patients.
