MEETINGS AND AMUSEMENTS.

THE THEATRH!,

A vert foil house was attracted to the theatre last night by the ar nouncement of the new piece "Tho " Lottery of Life " We can't say that we know the author of the piece, but it bcis the impress of being an American " sensation of tho most singular description. Ihe scenes «re certainly startling, and tha plot works up to a very interesting denouement. There is an abduction, a lost heir, a fri. htful villain, a Whitechspel boxing master, a most pleasing sharper (whose odd notions of punctiliousness at the Idea of benefitting from a good action are evidently borrow*d fiom "' Sna'o '' in the "Hchool for Scandal)") a crabby rich suut, and sundry other characters well calculated to compose a sparkling dr»m» of the true thiilling tipe. Pistols and revolvers play their part, a music hall ii.tcrludu occurs, and the table uof tho ship on fire ought to— (if it doeßn't) —«end tho audier re away in splendid humour with themselves, the actors, and the author. Mr Wheatleiyh as the sharper and mock detective O'Halloran, acted, as we should imagine he always does, with excellent taste and vigour, but he is not suited in tie part anything like so well as in the "Shaughraun." Tho "Lottery of life" is repeated to-night, and if any of our readers aro fond of a curiosity let them go and see it. The comedietta of " The First Night, or the Debutante," was a splendid bonne bouche to finish up with, and m»inly owing !o Mr Whestleigh'a ine=istibly droll performance as Acbille Dufard, kept the audience in roars of laughter. Miss Jenny Nye also in this piece acted weU. The "J.lying Scud" is now in preparation. CITY HALL. The nicely varied City flail entertainment, under t':e superintendence of Mr it. D. Davioj, still main tains it_ enviable position among ihe sights of the city, and last night it was h.nori>d with a go dly assemblage of approving persons Mr Daviea, who ks a ventrih qui'st of the flrst order, did abundantly towards the success oi the evenir g. ills fun' y folks were chatty, witty, aud as touchy as ever, aud appaiently needed an rcc«sional cuff from the hand Of their tutor. Thn witticisms of Mr Davies, throu.h his mystlcil. soulless agencies, were exceedingly goiri, and frequently set the house "in a roar." The Brothers Dv Ville were graceful in their aerial evolu tions, aid won deserved applause. They are un questionably about the best and the most active gymnasts that have appeared in this city, and tho applause their pe-formance elici'ed was truly bestowed. Mr and Mrs rmpson were ai merry as ever, and varied the entertainment by some capital comic atd sentimental sonKS. Mr Weightman, the Man-fish, perfoimed several clever feats in the water, which were graceful aDd pleasing. Mutator alone is worth all the admission fee to Davis's excellent enter tainment. Before leaving Auckland Mr Davies has kindly promised to give the proceeds of Friday's en tertainment to St, Mary's Orphanage, under tho generous patronage of Sir George Grey, K.C.B. On Saturday afternoon Mr Davies will welc.mo the children at half-pric,, and distribute amongst them 1000 toys, every child receiving ono.

Blondin.

The performance of this remarkable rerialist was given-"last night under very unfavoiuable circum stances. A penetrating drizzle began about a quarter of an hour before the time set for tho commencement and continued the whole time of the exhibition. This of course tended to tbiu the number of ihose who paid at the gates, and the assemblage was select rather than numerous. The Ciiovalier, nothing daunted by the wind and rain, appeared first dressed in the Warlike habilaa, en ts of a knight ar-d marched in slow time across the rope. He next repeated the transit in quick time. Dolling his military attire, Blondin in his becoming acrobitlc cos tume, which so well displays the muscular proportions of his limbs and chest, again ven tured on his slender path acd went through some Of his startling variatio' s —such as standing on one leg, sitting down, lying down, raising himself on one leg, and finally standing on his head on the line. In all these performances he was I wily cheered. He then had his eyes bound round with a bandage, and a sack thr wn o?er his head. Thus blindroldel ho accomplished the passige just as easily as before, thougn his feints a. filling drew cries of alarm from the ladies ; he afterwards cooked an omelette on the rope, having previously carried his apparatus into the centre of thi rope on his tuck ; this was done in the most approved fashion, and wiih a skill that would not have disgnced a cook on terra fmna, ana the result was passed round to be testaa by the ladies and gentlemen pr-sent; the exhibition was concluded by the great funambulist carrying his agent over on his baok.

NIGHT EXHIBITIONS.

Is compliance with several letters complaining of the inconvenience of the day performances, the Chevalier h»s determined to alter the hour of exhibition from afternoon to evening, commencing to-morrow nieht. The performance at ni.ht is still more daring thin that by day, and its attritions »re increased by a brilliant pyrotechnic display. We re; riot the follow ing description from the Sydney Morning Herald :— The wonderful performances of Chevalier Blondin on the high ropo have furnished a fruitful topic of conversation during the pist fortnight, but although his afternoon exhibitions have been sufficiently thrilling to satisfy ihe most insatiable iover of the sensational, the spectacle presenttd last evening thoroughly eclipsed anything the " Hero of Niagara," has succeeded in accomplishing hitherto. The announcement of Blondin's first night ascension earned a good d' al of excitement, and before eight o'clock between SOOOatd 4000 people had assembled within the enclosure, to B»y nothing of the thousands Who loiter, d outßide in the hope of obtaining a gratuitous glimpse of what was going on inside. In order to render the performanc- visible in all parts of the enclosed area, the gas had been laid on, and lamps near each of the guy ropos also contributed to the general illumination. Immediately inside and over ihe main entrance and on the opposite side of the enclosure, there Were stars in gas jet., and at the base of each mast the gas was also laid on in tho form of a cross. Two lime lights were used for tbe purpose of render.ng Blondin conspicuous, and Worked successfully throughout, bringing the daring performer om in bold relief during his peri lous fonts on the rope. Precisely at halt-past eight o'clock a rocket nnd blue-light were fired, alid im mediate y afterwards the Chevalier ascended to the crow's nest in the costume of a knight. After traversing the long stretch of rope and returning to his original starting point, he retired to his dressing room on the platform, from whence he soon emerged in the g»rb of an acrobat, and went through the performance- previou-ly described, eliciting enthu siastic appiaus» from the audience below. He subsequently crossed the rope blindfolded and enve oped in a sack, and again put the nerves of the audience to a severe test by his alarming and seemingly accidental faux pas. Tne clever perform ances with the chair and the feat of carrying the secretary across were next successfully performed, and then came the sensation of the evening, which it is only fair to say exceeded the most sarguine expectations of those who tried to lorm some idea of What the exhibition was to be. After keeping the spectators in suspense only for a few minutes, Biondia made his appearance on the platform in a costume which gwe him the appearance of a mailed knight but Which in reality w.s simply r protection in the flaming ordeal through which he was to pass. To the darit g pc-former's body was attached a wheel barrow with what may be described as a trimming oi SS Bnt this was not all. The bala^cing-po c was covered with a net-work of the same i^mmable and explosive material, presenting somewhat the aD-earance of two arms of a windmill, and upon BlLdin'shead there was a pyrotechnic arrange ment In the form of a crown surmounted by a plume. Ilia £.istantß below, having received the signal, sent^up several brilliant rockets and stars. The band strutK u P ?andßlond°_ started on his journey, andl amidst the breathless suspense oi the fpectaiors reached the centre of the rope Hereaveiy extensive pyrotechnic _a_are consisting of gcldeu rain, stars, rockets, and Xr prep°rTtions ha! been fixed.which in a moment became a perfect »heet of fire. The jetof'ta Apparently shot out in every direction'.^f fnveloped the performer, so that nothing but his W»z»g P-ume could be seen The whe«lbarrow and the baiar.cmg pT also cast out jets of fire, and the occasiona discharge of bine and red stars, "d,£" h~s__,? rockets rendered the spectacle pe^eeUy da^hng. A. far as the audience could observe, the .Chevalier was quite unmoved, and as '*• _TS died out with a final blaze of light, lie was seen calmly standing on the rope, wheelbarrow in hand as before. He was of course enthusiastically cheered the demonstrations of applause being continuea until he had returned to the platform at tne mast ea^' ______—————

THE REGATTA CLUB.

Thb important ceremony of paying over the pr.zes to the successful competitors in the late Regatta, was gone through yesterday evening at the Ulub rooms, Thames Hotel. As might be expected very few of the parties interested failed to show up, and the conse quence was that the neighbourhood of the hotel between eight and ten o'clock pre sented a very bu*y scene, which was rendered more lively still later on when some of the money had, literally speaking, been liquidated. At the Committee meet ing, Mr G-. Yon der Heyde occupied the chair, and delivered the following decisions of the Umpire on the several protests which had been lodged. Ist. Race. —The protest of the Favourite against the Agnes Donald and Colonist for not rounding Shag Rock, was disallowed, the prescribed course being simply round Tiri Tiri. 7th. Race.—This was pronounced "no race," in accordance with a protest laid by the North Shore crew, that the mark boats were not in position. Bth Race—The yacht Contrabandiere was disqualified as not being entitled to post entry, being in port at the time of general entry. The Venture and Energy, which were also protested against by the owner of the Ino, were ordered to be measured this morn ing. These were the only formal protests, and, therefore, the only ones considered. In pronouncing sentence of disqualification against the Contrabandiere, the coaamittee, through the chairman, expressed their regret at not being able to [award Mr Carina the prize, as he had richly deserved it; the wording of rule 2G, however, could not be got over. Tbe paying of prizes was now proceeded with. The following is tha list of winners :—Schooner Race —let prize, £50, and a pair of binocular glasses presented by Messrs Russell and Devore, Jessie Hender son, Captain Robinson; 2nd prize, £10, Agnes Donald, Captain McCabe ; 3rd prize r (stake returned), The Colonist. Large Cutter Race- Ist prize, £30, Mercury, Captain Hopkins; 2nd prize, £10, Leo, Messrs. Oxley. Sailing Boats or Yachts under 6 tons—lst prize, £10, Bismarck, Mr Eekenberg ; 2nd piiza, i's, Dolphin, Mr Seager ; 3rd prize, £2, Mystery, Mr Martin. Smaller Cutter Race —Ist prizo, £20, including £5 presented by Captain Ralls and £5 preseuted by Mr R J. DeLias, with a pair of binoculars given by Messrs Russell and Devore, Avon, Captain Jawsen ; 2nd prize, £10, Victoria, Captain Diaz ; 3rd prize, £5, Tradewind, Captain Lloyd. Open sailing boats—lst prize, £8, The Brothers, Mr Hunt; 2nd prize, £3, Miunio, Mr Waymouth; 3rd prize, £1, Billiard, Mr Williams. Pair Oared Race (amateurs) — prize, £5, Alpha, Messrs Henderson and Dacre. Merchant hhip's Gigs—lst prize, £10, Rowena . 2ud prize, £3, Lizzie Fox. Four Oared Gigs (junior amateurs)—prizo, £10, Magenta, R.C. Thames. Dingies (prizes presented by J. N. Crotnbie, Esq.,)—lst prize, £4, Winona, Drummond. 2nd prize, £1, Spider, Warbrick; In presenting the prizes, the Chairman made a few well chosen remarks to each of the recipients. The Four Oared Outrigger Race was settled to come off to morrow (Wednes day) morning at 10 o'clock. The Thames crews Magenta and Brothers, expressed dis satisfaction, and withdrew their entrance money. The Young Colonials (Thames Wel lington crew), have made a post entry, and the race will therefore lie between them and the North Shore two boats. In the Yacht Race G to 10 tons inclusive, the prizes were held over till the re-measurement of the Knergy and Venture. After the business of the evening was over, a pleasant convivial hour was spent, one of the most pleasing features of which was the sportsman-like way in which the owner of the Contraband iere alluded to his difqualification. His example may well be imitated by other Auck land yacht-owners, who hold higher social positions.
