NAPIER.

(From our ow^ Correspondent.) This day. The Hawlres Bay Herald and the LSdia Howarde Troupe.

There is a great row on between the ILerald and the Lydia Howarde Troupe. The pro prietors of the herald refused suddenly yes terday to insert any more advertisements for Mr Shepperson, unless accompanied by cash. Mr Shepperson offered the money, but asked for discount as agreed on at first between the Serald proprietors and himself. They re fused to let him have any discount. He then withdrew all his advertisements, and in a letter to the Telegraph explains that the cause of quarrel was in consequence of his refusal to make the fferald-shoo his box office, and give that office all the printing. Ho was promised that if he would remove his box office from the other stationer's place, he would get most favorable notices in the columns of the Herald, The affair has caused much scandal. '

MEETINGS AND AMUSEMENTS.

THE PIIBERNICOtf.

Everett's great Hihernicon, or Mirror of Ireland, will be presented for the first time, this evening in the City Hall. The views will be of the choicest character and consist of forty, such as Dublin Bay, Lakes of Killarney, the " Meeting of the Waters," and &t. Patrick's Cathedral, especially interesting to persons who have read the "Letters of Stella," published by Dean Swift. Some special favorites will appear, such as Miss stoneham, Miss De Vere, as John P. O'Neill. Others also not so well known, will be watched with, intereit, viz., Mr Charles Holloway, Mr Wallace, «nd John Conghlan, the renowned Iri3h Piper, who will play several choice selections. This company brings high testimonials of talent and ability, and will no donbt sustain their well-earned reputation in this city.

THE THEATRE,

The very interesting and lively drama of the Streets of New York, a very remarkable drama in illustration of city life, and to which we have several times called special attention, will be produced this evening at the Prince of Wales Theatre, and in which will appear Mr and Mrs Bates, who have already by their talents made themselves extremely popular with the Auckland public. On Monday next a dramatic piece, entitled " Check and Counter Check " will be produced. We learn that thi3 is a very credit able production, and is from the pen of one who formerly acted a part in connection with the Press of Auckland ; a Mr J. TJtting, now of Dunedin.

TEA, TARTS, MIRTH, AND MlfSlO. About 250 persona aat down to a sumptuous tea la3t evening in Lome-street Hall, for the twofold purpose of giving a merry welcome back from England to Miss Marmion Edger, and for a social hour, and the meeting was most successful, for everybody-seemed •to enjoy themselves. The viands were good, the nmaic was excellent, and the company pleasant and ■decorous. Rev 8, Edger as chairman, made an introductory speech on the immediate objext of the gathering, and considered that Christian people were perfectly correct in trying to make the best of the life that now is, and of that which is to come He also suggested that these gatherings might be held quarterly with muoh innocent advantages. Mr Edger thought it very desirable that those who had musical or literary talents should have opportunities of cultivating them." The programme was then gone through with muoh satisfaction. The songs by Miss Edger weie greatly admired, and especially her musical performances, which shewed that she had made good use of her time during her two years sojourn in the land of Milton and Locke. " Within the Groves," and " Love the Pilgrim," were most effectively rendered by this lady. _ The choir of four teen voices sang several glees, including " Erin," " Oh hush thee my baby," " The Harp that once in Tara's Halls," and "As pants the heart for cooling streams," in a oheerful manner. Mr Frank Edger was a great acquisition, as well as Mr and Mrs Hemus. Mr Prank JBdger has a splendid voice, and Was in good tune. "Long Parted have we been" was admirably sung by Mr Henry Probert, and loudly praised. We had no idea that Mr Probert possessed sum high vocal powers. The readings were not so laudable. Mr Eraser's humorous recita tion from the works of the late Robert Leighton, of Liverpool, was excellent. Mr W. Cooper's account of " My Cousin " was a failure ; perhaps he will do better next time. How "JCousia " met Willie, and what she whispered under the trees when they visited Blondin, and how her mother scolded for certain little indiscretions were unheard at the other end of the hall, and consequently the reader was not satisfac torily received.' Mr Dennes gave a good reading by ' Charles Phillips on the character of the " First Napoleon," which in relation to Napoleon whs brimful of eulogy, and very deficient in truth We should recommend the listener to read Dr Channing's sketch of the Emperqr. which will give him a fair estimate of the Corsican's real character. The entertainment, however, was very praiseworthy throughout.

THE EASTER MONDAY RACES.

By Our Cockney Sportsman,

I bin axed by the Editor of the Star to give some of my valuable advise on the aubjek of the races on Monday nex, and being as how I've got a minit or two to spare, I jes sits down and goes at it, and altho I says it as shouldnt, there aint a man as knows morel about an ors than I do, every pint on him from his nose to his rump : and as for the Auckland racers, I knows em all, and how much they can carry and win with to a hounce. l's made it a study I has and as the books says " redooced it to a Biance," and not [for nothin as yer may possibly imagine. Now first there's a feachur in Monday's card as is too often conspikuess by its habsence here. That is, were goin ter have rare sport. All the hosses is of an 'cap as the sayin is : one aint 71bs better nor worse than another if they'd all do their durndest that's to say, but there's some on 'em as never tries a yard a' times. But there is the acception, and as mr the owners why there all as jellous a' one another as two puppies when all the others in the litter are drownded, and they'l go wto it in the reglar dv or di stile. Well ?£ w *°. diskus the program. Pirst there's 'tL*"*! Stakes. There's seven in it now, ?„"* th, ere'U only be one left about {J 0 o clock on Monday, that's one *L y°U f ay safe]y foller- Some of these V9a Befa extra weight 'cause they'o won

races, and others getß perquisites or 'low ances 'cause they 'aint; so you see very few on 'em carries his proper weight, which aint it rummy ? Now, if yer thinkg I'm a goin' to kalkerlate what these penalties and 'low ances comes to, yer much out in yer reckon ing, for I aint. I can see the winner with half a eye, without that. IE ib aint Isaac Walton it'll be Bedouin. Then comes the Tradesman's Plate. Now I'll tell how I knows these hosses so well. There's Polly Plum: Well, I aint seed her exactly, but I met a man as knows her owner, and he tells me that she's a plum, and no mistake. Then there's Deception : now if there s one thing I'm agin, its Deception. Now yer needn't go and be fools, and lay all yer money agin her, for if she won you wouldn't have any mouey to send me for puttin' you on the right scent; but I mentions the fack to explain why I aint so well up in this kan didate as in others. Then comes Bedouin : Now I do know all about him, for I saw him chnck a boy off bis back in Parnell once, and that ought to give him a chance, any how, for there aint many of 'em can do that. What will I say about" La Belle? Ob, you need'nt think I don't know him. Well, if it is a her, yer needn't pick a feller up so. She' been fed on lunch biskits and soda water, and trained round the big water wheel at Riverhead, and if its a hup 'ill finish she'll be there. What does Mr Walters mean by callin' a horse "My dear "; one'd think it was a nice girl, and itt only a quadroopig : if blarney could get an , 'orse to win "My dear " oughter, but blar ney don't always be successful. The last is Perfume, which means a sweet-smellin' savor, and has got Bst 121bs up which is a crusher, but a mile ain't no distance for a smart ani mal, and if the bay mpre goes she'll win and easy too. The Selling Race is called that because everyone gets sold over it. You want to know who'll win. Now 1 shan't tell yer so you're sold to begin with, but I'll tell yer what won't be last, and that's the Law yer, for yer can trust a lawyer to take his own part even when he's got Gladstone and Potentates and Deception to contend agin. The Hurdle Race I am partikler sweet on. It is my principle tip, and I hope them as uses it will have the honesty to pay over a per cent age Jo the undersiued. Here we has Glad stone again, and this time he's about right, for there ain't any Lawyer in the way. Only he'll have to look out he don't get shot by a Arrow in the way that's all : Jes pay attention to this little caution mind ye'r and don't forget it. Now I'll tell yer a little about the Eaater Handicap and because I want yer to remember every word of it I'll put it short and concise like. Yer may use all the Deception yer like ; yer May Moon-y about the course all night and day too ; and yer may go to bed and get up and Bedouin betimes in the morning ; and yer may puzzle yer brains till The Belle rings for startin', and yer won't find the animal what'll Eclipse all the rest like Isaac Walton the rummy old fish as calls himself the compleat angler price 2s Gd.
