THEATRE ROYAL.

•On Saturday evening a composition entitled "The Now York NeAvsboy," Avas performed at the Theatre, and seemed to please the audience amazingly; as it has done on previous occasions in Auckland. It is not however, a very elevating produc tion, and a_ far as plot is concerned has neither commencement, middle, nor end. Miss Firmin made a very lively heroine indeed, and Mr Jack gave full prominence to the eccentricities of old Hurricane. —Mr Emmett as Wool* 1 a Negro servant, Avas. decidedly .amusing, and Mr Burford Avas excellently got up for the part of the smug gler Black Donald. (Why are smugglers always "Black" or "Red?" Mr Mus grave »vas out _f his element as Colonel LeNoir. The other characters were fairly represented.—To-night that favourite dram.

THE STREETS OF NEW YORK, will be given, with Mr Jack as Badger, and Miss Firmin as Lucy Fairweather.— The great fire scene is to be given with full effect.

EPSOM SUMMER MEETING

CENTENARY OF THE OAKS,

TIIE hundredth contest for the Oaks Stakes was brought to an issue over Epsom Downs on Friday last, the final afternoon of the Summer Meeting. It is a race for three year-old fillies only, and, of course, varies in value according to tho entries. In 1874 it was worth £4,375 ; in 1875 only £2,925 ; in 1876 £4,300; aud in 1877-8 £4,150. It was instituted as long ago as 1779, one year be iore the Derby, and the first race was won by Lord Derby's Bridget, ridden by R. Goodison, who beat eleven others. The largest field which ever started for the Oaks numbered twenty-six (that was in 1848, when Mr. Hill's Cymba triumphed). Of living jockeys, George Fordham has ridden most winners of this event. Iv 1859 he was on Lord Londesboro's Summerside ; in 1868, on Mr. Graham's Formosa ; in 1870, on the same gentleman's Gamos ; and lastly in 1872, on M. Lefevre's Reine. Only two Derby winners, Sir C. Bun bury's Eleanor (1801), and Mr. W. I'Anson's Blink Bonny (1857) have carried ofF the Oaks, although no less than 12 One Thousand winners have gained honours in the Laidies' Race at Epsom. Of late years Oaks heroines have been re: markably successful in the St. Leger. Queen of Trumps, in 1835; Formosa, in 1868 ; Hannah, in 1871; Marie Stuart, in 1873; and Apology, 1874—a1l ran home first both at Epsom aud Doncaster. Although great interest is taken in the issue of this event there is but little betting nowadays until the Derby has been decided. It is quite a favourite's race, as may be guessed from the fact that during the last ten years only two outsideis have won. Ladies in society, who seldom by an> chance go to the Derby, are often at Epsom on Oaks Day, and consequently the grand stand presents a very gay appearance. THE RESULT, The iooth Renewal op (thk Oaks Stakes of so soys, each, half forfeit, for three years old fillies,. -Bst. lolbs. each. Derby Course—j*. miles. 216 subscribers.

THE WINNER, Jannette, by Lord Clifden, out of Chevis annce, ran seven times as a two-year-old without suffering defeat. At Ascot she won the Triennial, at Goodwood the Richmond Stakes at Doncaster the Produce Stakes, and at Newmarket the Buckenham, Clear well, Bretby, and Criterion Stakes. This season she ran once, suffering defeat in the One Thousand Guineas from Pilgrimage. She is engaged in the Prince of Wales's Stakes at Ascot, and the Doncaster, St. Leger. To the doings of Pilgrimage as a two year-old we have before referred. This sea son she won the Two Thousand «nd One Thousand Guineas at Newmarket. The Ascot Gold Cup is her most important en gagement. Clementine ran no less than ten times as a two-year-old only scoring one win, j viz., in the Champ<igne Stakes at I'oncaster. This season she ran third to Pilgrimage for the One Thousand Guineas. She is not en gaged in the St. Leger. This is the third time Lord Falmouth has Avon the Oaks as he carried it off in 1864 with Queen Bertha, and in 1875, with Spinaway. Archer rode the latter so that this will be his second triumph in the Ladies' lace.
