Mr Verner established a good reputation with Ham'lt n theatre goers on the ccoasion of his lust visit 11 the town, »n I n • doubt there w 11 be a large at eud.inco t niijht to witness the ornpauy in light comedy. The p'eoe to by staged should be especial y suitable to the powers of the compauy, and in hilarious evening cin safely be promised to those who iutend witnessing the production. Ihe influenza epidemics seems to have gained an evea 81 ranger grip on the c immunity during the past few weeks (says the Wellington Pos ), and has interfered with ■nany a pn jected visit to the opening of the Exhibition. Numerous business places of both city and suburbs are suffering serious in onvenience owing to the enforced absence of members of the staff, on account of influenza. Government offices have suffered in common with others. A concert and dince was held at the Ngaruawania Town Hall last Wednesday evening in aid of the Presbytery of the Komau Catholic Church. There was a very large audience, who greatly enjiyed the itfins presented, particularly by two ycung ladies from Paeroa, in whioh they gave an Irish jig. Mr E. FuzPitrick was in the chair, and in a few words tfeiukei the audienca aud the performers for their attendance. Dancing was indulged in until a Lite hour, and all present,voted the evening a great success. A misunderstanding led to an amusing incident at the Christchurch Magistrate's Court the other day. A certain case was under consideration, and the Magistrate madu reference to an order for prohibition pending in the Supreme Court affecting the same case. While makiDg th : s observation his gazs rested upon the count nance of a pirtly und well-known citizen, who occupied i seat on one of the spectators' benches. This gentleman, confusing two ideas, and imagining a persjnal reference to himself, immediately jumped up and protested that uo prohibition order hid been issued against him. 11 j continued to protest until he was induced to leave the Court. According to the Government grader's report for the year, a peculiar phase of the poultry industry has mauifes.ed itself at Wellington. Du-ing the season under review thy volume ot business at the d»pot has been practi;ally nil. 'lliis is accounted for by tne fact that the local demand has increased to such an extent that there is no surplus for export, lu fact heal supples have been quite inalequate aud considerable numbers of both birds and i-ggs have hid to be obtained fr.iin Auckland, Cimstohuroh, and Dunedin in order to till local requirements. Oae large retailer states that during the past season he has purchaic-d no less than 30 tons of poultry at other centres, all of which were destined for Wellington consumption. 'lhe butter shipments from Auckland for the fortnight ended Saturday shew another great increase. The qmntity in cold sture for shipment for the fortnight was 10,521 boxes, or 263 tons. Of this lot the s.s. ionic is taking 10,192 boxes fit Loudon, the s.s. Waituate 11)7 boxes for London,aud 100 boxes are to go by the Federal hue to the West of England. For the corresponding period of l» s t year the shipment was 6284 boxes. For the present season to date the export has been 25,024 boxi.s, as oumpared with 13,795 boxes to tbe same date of last se.ison, an increase of 12,1i1U be xesor 303 tons. Tha grader has not, so far, made up the values represented by his butter, but he n ports that a good quabty is still be ng maintained by the maj lity of the factories, "Areycu going to the Inhibition?"— -eems to he the burning question, of the day. The question whioh really interests you Mr Clothes- wearer is—" Have you seen the exhibition of lovely suitings in V. Houghton's window ? " They are all at one pr'ce, ninety-five shillings. It will cost you nothing to look, and it will save your money to order i ne. If there is nothing in the window to suit your taste, just walk inside aud you will bo suited at V*.
