SYDNEY ARTISTS' BALL.
WHO'S TO BLAI7IE? A GAME OF "SEE-SAW." The happenings at the Artists' Ball have been made a subject for "seesaw" between the Chief Sect-ptary's Department and the City Council (says a Sydney paper). The Chief Secretary has cast the blame on the City Council, but the City Council Finance Committee put the bla-me on the Chief Secretary's Department. Aid. E. S. Marks asked what right had Mr Oakes to lay the blame at the City Council's door, when bis own department controlled public balls and places of amusement? The committee resolved to recommend to the Council that the Town Clerk, City Solicitor, and Alii. Walker (vice-chairman of the finance committee) be a sub-committee to draft regulations that will prevent a repetition of the scenes that occurred. It further resolved to recommend that the Town Hall be connected immediately with Hcadquarlers Fire Station by independent telephone, as recommended by Chief Officer Jackson in his report to ilio Chief Secretary. Aid. Caldwell said he res'ented the statement in the letter from the Un-der-Secretary of the Chief Secretary's Department, thai the Council had "allowed" these things to happen. That was, he said, a reflection upon the Council's officers, who did all they could, and could not have done any more.
