DUNEDIN.

Dear Bee* October 24. During the last week no social items of any import* ance have taken place except Miss Gordon’s marriage on Wed* nesday. On Monday evening the Rev. Haskett Smith gave his FIRST LECTURE in the Garrison Hall, the subject being ‘ Constantinople.’ He also gave lectures on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday evenings in the City Hall, all being very much appreciated and largely patronised. The Chevalier De Kontski opened his season here on Tuesday evening in the Garrison Hall. All musical people went into ecstasies over his brilliant playing, and even those who are not at all musical were delighted with his wonderful execution. He was most liberal with encores, having given one every time he was recalled. Amongst the large audience I noticed Dr. and Mrs Hocken, Professor and Mrs Sale. Mrs Sise, Mrs Holmes. Miss Holmes, the Misses Mac Lean. Miss Marchant, the Misses Fitchett. Mr’ Wilson, Professor Ulrich, Mrs Turton, Mrs Kettle. Miss Cargill, Mrs Mills, Miss Dunlop, the Misses Landells, Mr and Misses Joachim, Mrs Abbotson, the Misses Neil, the Misses Murrison, Mr and Mrs E. C. Reynolds, Miss Shand, Mr and Mrs Fineker, Miss Gross (Melbourne), Mrs Batchelor, the Misses Moodie, Miss Kircaldy, Mrs Barley man, Miss B. Diuey, Madame Muller, Miss Freeman, Miss Fodor.
