ed an artistic talent rarely to be found in amateurs. In one or two instances however, more especially noticeable in Col. Lukyn and Captain Horace Vale the make up was insufficient, with the result that the faces, wote a rather more sombre expression than the characters demanded. It has to be borne in mind that for stage effect'a make up must be exaggerated and that fact some performers on with amateurs Saturday night (in common generally), overlooked,
The parts themselves give ample scope for a display of the power and talent of the actors for low comedy, and their rendering proved that no inconsiderable trouble had been taken to ensure a faithful portraiture of the characters represented. Mr. Grace as Mr. Pesket deserves special mention, his rendition of the Magistrate leaving little to be desired, and evidencing skill and talent of a high order..
Mr. E. F. Shewell, as a boy of fourteen apparently rapidly becoming independent of the Lonsorial artist, also deserves honourable mention.
Another performance will be given this evening and to any of our readers who desire or enjoy a hearty laugh we can give the assurance that they can obtain full gratification at the City Hall to-night.

Old-age Pensions, Cardinal Vaughan, on, 30th September received a deputation representing a national committee of organised labour" which advocates the granting of a free State pension of 58, a week to every person on reaching sixty-five years of age. After several members of the deputation had stated their views, Cardinal Vaughan, while recognising most strongly that adequate and proper provision must be made for the aged poor, and while not disposed to discriminate too closely between the deserving and the undeserving, objected to the idea that the State should provide a pension for those who did not require one.
