Avery pleasant esteriainment took place on Saturday evening in the hall of the Club when the members of the Catholic Union produced Offenbach's two act comic operetta The Magic Melody The various characters were very ably pourtrayed by the lady and gentlemen amateurs, and considering that many only made their first debut as actors and actresses, the highest credit reflects on Mr. Farmer, under whose able supervision the rehearsals The Athenic will be followed by the Corin-were conducted.

The Athenic has large cargo capacity, with ample appliances of the latest and most ap proved type, Refrigerating apparatus and chambers have been filted for carrying 100,000 carcases of sheep.

one papers, but I cannot refrain from quoting THEATRE ROYAL, a few more words respecting the remedies for present mistakes, which the experience of Lord Charles has suggested to him. Unlike too SATURDAY NIGHT, many of our present-day critics and reformers, the gallant Admiral who has done so much for the Service and the nation, does not stop at pointing out errors, and vaguely hinting how much better he could do than those in office, but clearly and definitely indicates the lines on which improvenient should move, quite irres- pective of who directs the helm. Here then are the more salient points of his scheme of reform. 1. The addition to the Board of Admimity of a Naval War Lord, on whom shail devolve all war preparations, and the responsibility of placing all necessary requirements before Parliament.

2. The purchase of coal-fields at home, and in the Colonics, by the Government, so that strikes shall not affect naval supplies.

3-The abolition of all, warships useless to fight, or valueless for lack of speed.

4-The establishment of a register of re- serves, skilled artisans and others able on em ergency to fill certain ratings on men-of-war.

5.-The introduction of a modified short ser

Admirals who have not, after passing three years in that rank, hoisted their flags.

With the exception of the fifth clause, I find that practically all senior Naval opinion is at one with Lord Charles Beresford, but whether that circumstance will influence events is quite another story. Apparently the chief hope of reform lies, at least in the Admiral's eyes, with the Press, for he concluded "A paragraph in a responsible paper obtains more attention than all the fervid oratory of irresponsible politicians."

The explanation which an in- terested public most generally offers is that Lord Wolseley being intimately acquainted with South Africa is choosing this moment for a "private" ylalt, at the secret instigation of the War Ofics, in order, elther, that his advice may be at the disposal of Lord Kitchener, or that the home authorities, may be pro- vided with an impartial expert opinion of the situation and the prospect of an early end of the war.
