On Sunday evening the Theatre was again full to hear Bentley’s interesting lecture on ‘THE CHURCH AND STAGE.’ Your ‘Autocratic Idler’ has already given you an excellent sketch of this lecture/so I will only say that it was listened to with great pleasure by the large audience, who accorded Bentley a hearty vote of thanks at its conclusion. OUR PEOPLE. Mr Richmond, of Richmond Brook, is in Nelson, staying at the Cliffs ’ with his mother. Mrs Higgle, of Wanganui, is at present a guest of Miss Sealy. All her old schoolchums are very glad to see her once again. The Mayor. Mr Trask, returned from Wellington on Monday, where he had been to see if he could not get Nelson fairly treated with regard to the Midland Railway. Mr Pitt is in Wellington and interesting himself about the same matter. Mr and Mrs Cock left last week for England, where they have gone to see Mrs Cock’s mother. They intend being away about six months. Mr Young and Mr C. Hodson, of Blenheim, are the guests of Renwick at present, and seem to like our pretty town.
