MEETINGS AND AMUSEMENTS.

PRINCE OF "WaLES THKiTEE. The theat c was crowded last night 10 witness the opening performance of Miss Lydia Howarde and her company in the operetta " Chilpe.ig," which had BUCh a run in London a few years ayo. Great paiaS had been taken to produce the piece in a style worthy of its intrinsic merit, and after allowing for the incidental blemishes which are pirdontb.e on a first night, the result may be proLOuuced a succoss. Miss Lydia Howaido is an actress and vocalist of g. eat merit. She has * splendid figure, which showa to advantage in her clo ely-nttiog dre.s, a piincely CJrriage and a voice of wonderful range and flexibi lity. Her tacial e*pres 3 ion 1-st night was somewhat deficient, and her tones at time* scarcely so soft as ■we should have liked, bur. her manifold talents more than compensated for these faults which perhaps after all were the effect of a little excusable ill humour at one or two of the performers having neglected to perfect tuemselves in the woids. We are i"Clined to believe th-t Miss Howarde has reserved her smilesf r to-iight, when they will act as a coup de grace in captivating her audience. Tliia lady's taste *s exhibited in her mode of dresfciag the part of Chilperic was und-ni*b.y good. Hr.rye's sparkling niuuic just suited her brilliant vocalisa tion She received the honor of a call before the curtain on two oriluee occasions. Mdlle. Solartge Hovaroiea very wianiDg operatic actress. She evi dently enters heart and soul into her profession, and her voice is attractive and musical, without however possessing very gre»t power. She is so evidently determine! \o ple*se, th*t she cannot f.i.l to be a favouiite. Her acting and sinking as Landry were both excellent, and she too received the compliment of two encores Mis 3 Jennie Nye pt-rf t ed the role of Frodetronda, the ambitious rustic, with a piquancy and naivete ihat charmed the audience, wno loud.y redumai dtd more than one cf her songa. Mr Harry Power, as I* out the Chamberlain, showed us as good a bil of grotesque acting as we have seen for a long time Bis make-up was magnificent, and his ever> movement oausad loud shout ot laughter His song, " Not lor Joe," was verr rich and called down the house. Mr Collier's Druid, and Mr Komsden's Don b er»osa were capital samples of burlesque actirjg. Mr Ohas. Searle's Senna, the Court Physician, was a highly humorous conception and well sustained. His song, "My name is Doctor Qua k," was we.l received. Mr Curtis played Siegbert wall, but wiih a little too much demonstrativeness for a henpecked husband. Misa Lizzie Busche was zealous to please as Brua*chauf, and the rest of the company acted up to their several Iwhts.* The rich dialogue of the operetta was given with due precision, and the locil references, more espectilly the allusion to the fa t that " Dr Pollen was coming and there would be a row " and the broken Spanish of Don Nervoso and Dr 'Senna in waich such pbrasea occurred as " Mlnuiecas*y, Nonh-shoro ttaogiotio." t< ok im mensely. Ihe i c nnery was go"d and the orches ra well up to their wors. 'J he performance is of a kind not often Seen in Auckland nutl is sure to attract largely during its continuance. Chilperic will re appear to night.

THE BELL-lUNGERS, These popular hermonists with tluir hundred and fifty silver toned heilß were ag*in suue-ssful ia winning the ears of tha public. 'J he hall was crowded and »a expected, the Marquw and Marchioness of Normanby andsuiie, honored inebalniDgers with their presence, and evidently ia variuus ways testified the plraaure sffoided by ths Lynch farailf of minstrels. The programme was similar to that of Mond>y evening, and was opened by Mr Statham with a musical selec tion on the pianoforte Among the melodies on the bells, particularly distinguishable were tha " Coll*ge Hornpipe," "Lincoln's March," "Ring tho Bell, Watchman," The "Last Kose of Summer " and " Sweet Home," The comic Chinese song and dince In character by tha three brothers, and " My Grand father's Farmyard" by Messrs Eobert and William were loudly praised. Mr Iveeley was admirable in bis several comic souks, most of them new to Auckland, and many probably destined hereafter to be voiced and whistled p.bout the streets by the a' abs of the city. '' he evening closed with tbe " Haunted Chateau," which tickled the audience immensely, especially tho aweiasuiring scene of tie White Ghost th*t stole the sheet off hii m other's bed for the purp se <if repeating the ghostly tragedy of " M^ry the M*id of the Inn," instead of which he frightens the visitor to 'he Obittetu overheadandheels, tearug that he is to be jynched wirhoac saying his praye-a. Many will legret that t. nigtit win close ihe peifor manois of the tal hteo Lynch family, who will lejve this city for tbe '1 hames at the b*g.nnic g of next, week, prior to tbeir coward, musical march round the world The mid-d-ty performance was largely attended by juveniles this afternoon, and to night tha tL.nl AucsUnd programme will be present d with a variety of gooa things calculated to please every taata ana satisfy every heart.
