twenty years ago. Nevertheless we are dis posed to give the lady a good deal of credit for the neatness and taste with which the trick is performed. The young lady is posed in the most graceful positions, and is made by the aid of appropriate costume to imper sonate various characters. Thus we see her as a flower girl, a sleeping beauty, a dancer, l( *» minstrel, an angel, etc., each poa r ture being well deserving of the applause it elicits. The picture she presented when arranged in the attitude of prayer w&s exceeding pretty. This illusion with the sleeping lady is in Madime Cora's hands rendered "very beautiful and attractive. Performers of this trick in former days were content to suspend their "subject" in mid air, and to make nothing more of it. Madame Cora is however wiser in her generation, and we have no hesitation in*saying that the style in which she presents her entertainment proves her a true artiste. Another feature is the prssenta tion of gifts on each occasion, and this can not fail to be a great attraction to the entertainments. Last evening numbers went away loaded with their presents, and wondering how the thing was done on the usual charge for admission. It, however, no doubt pays in the long run. One hundred prizes were given away amongst the audience lost night, and consisted of all mm

ner of things, of which the ornamental were

the most numerous. Next came the useful: of these -we may mention butter-dishes, pickles, plated cruets, brooms, lamps, tea in lib. packets, card-tables, vegetable dishes, &c.' One person in the stalls was the fortunate recipient of a sack of flour, which he shouldered at the conclusion of the per formance, and went on his way rejoicing. The leading gift of & handsome tea and coffee service fell to the lot of a gentleman in the dre^ss circle. The entertainment gave general satisfaction, and the impression was given that two hours may be very pleasantly, and perldaps profitably passed with Madame Cora de Lamond at the Prince of Wales Theatre,

COUNTRY NEWS.

TuAkAtr,—We learn from Tuakau that Mrs. Colcjoiignj, .welUknown as a writer by her twm-de-plume of Polly Plum, is not satisfied with her position in that district, and has been myited to make an application for|a echobl at Ngaruawahia, and from the state meat of a correspondent we think the lady is right in seeking " fresh fields and pastures new/? It appears that the roads are so bad in wet weather that it is next to an impossi bility for a woman to struggle through the mud to the work of educating the youth of the district. Mrs. Colclough would be more at home in a more populous settlement. Wairoa. —The new public hall of Wairoa was opened with great rejoicing on the 12th inst. The weather was extremely fine, and the visitors in attendance completely filled the hall. Nearly three hundred persons were present, including his Honor the Super intendent, and William Hay, Esq. The hall was decorated with native evergreens and flowers, and a ball was held. Refreshments were liberally provided by the ladies, and dancing was kept up with much spirit until the neighbour ing cocks crowed in. the break of day. Tatjranga.—A meeting was held by the members of the Tauranga Light Horse on Wednesday last in the large room of the Tauranga Hotel to consider the resignation of Lieut. Craig. The meeting, however, on the motion of Lieut Cornor, wps adjourned. The proceedings then took a festive turn, and tne evening was pass~d in conviviality, song,, and story. Five new members were added to the corps, and the Litfht Hoike was considered in a proaperous,condition. Pokeno.—At the Resident Magiatrate's Court, on Fiiday James Cavr was found guilty1 of stealing notes and cash, amounting to £8 4s, from the person of John Chute, of Mercer. The charge was clear against the prisoner who, not content with robbing Chute of his money, put the poor man's head in a wet hole, and then cut off all bis hair and beard. The prisoner said nothing in defence of his barbarous conduct, and was fully committed, for trial. ; Waiuku.—The Committee of the Waiuku Agricultural Association held a meeting last week to arrange preliminaries for the pro posed ploughing match. Mr Constable, a farmer'of the district, has kindly offered the use of two paddocks for the peaceful contest J and the match, it is expected, will come off on the third Tuesday in July. The Waiuku Institute is progressing favourably. A number of new volumes has been added to the library, and the Elocution Class is advancing. '
