EASTER MONDAY.

Easteb Monday will be observed as a holi day. What with the circus, the races, and the excursion people ought to find uo diffi culty in amusing themselves.

THE COMING RACES.

".Augur's" Notes,

THE acceptances for the Novel Handicap and Handicap Hurdle Race were made public on Thursday evening. For the first natued event, Golden Crown is the only malcontent, and Firetail and Fanny alone cry "off" in the latter. Nothing but bad weather can now prevent a most successful meeting. Speculation is brisk, and the market will repay watching. Racing commences at one o'clock on Monday with the Tradesmen's Handicap. For this event there should be about eight starters. I can make no sort ot guess at the winner, as I hear Maymoon is not well. The Tradesmen's, Handicap will be followed by the Hurdle Race, for which it seems likely all the acceptances will be coloured on the card. Gazelle and Whitefoot are the favourites, and one of the two will, I think, win. The great race of the day is of course the Easter Handicap, for which I give a list of Probable Stautehs and Jockeys. Mr Perkins'sJ Pungawerewere, 5 years, Bat 71b, (Rowlands) Mr Walter's Hippocampus, I years, Bst 61b, (French) Mr Leonard The "Worm, 7st 111b (Bremmer) Mr McGee's Elsa, Tat 101b (McGee, jun.) Mr Walter's Isaac Walton, 5 years, 7st 71b (Oantell) Mr Thorpe's Maßician,asea, 7st2lb (DugTaylor) Mr Edgar' 3 The Don, aged, 7st (Tom Taylor) To many the all-important question as regards this race is, which horse will Walters start ? From what I hear I may say that I think it probable that the two will run on their merits, and that Isaac will heat Hippo wherever they may finish. I have heard nothing to make me change the opinion I expressed on "Wednesday, i.e., that this race is likely to be won by eithsr Elsa or Pungawerewere, next to whom I shall expect to see The Don. There will be a good field for the Novel Handicap, as it is thought nearly all the acceptances will start. Indian Warrior is not badly in, and if ho would give up his tricks for once, might prove an unlooked for winner. I will not, however, commit myself either with regard to this race or to the Publican's Purse, which ends a very promising day's sport. AUGUB.

THE CIRCUS AND MENAGERIE.

We would remind our rea-lurs that Messrs Cooper and Bailey's circus and menagerie will opea at one o'clock nil Monday after noon. EXCURSIONS. Several excursions have been arranged for Monday. Thep.s. Oregon wiiltake a picnic party to Cornwallis, leaving the Onehunga wharf at 9 a.m. The s.s. Argyle will sail for Coromandel at 5 a.m., returns at 10 a.m. in time for the circus. The ferry steamers will run every half-hour between Auckland and North Shore, ahd hourly be tween Auckland and Stokes's Point. AMUSEMENTS. A concert and ball in connection with the Independent Order of Free Templars, will be held in the Lome-street Hall on Monday evening to inaugurate the library. The performance will commence at eight o'clock precisely.

THE NEW DRAMATIC SEASON.

THE arrangements for the now dramatic season are now finally completed, and we are enabled to give our readers full particulars thereof. The stars of the Company will, of course, be Mr Jno Jack and Miss Firmin, two versatile and famous artistes who arrived by the City of New York. They aro to be backed up by several well-known colonial actors and actresses, notably by Mrs Walter Hill, Mr Jno. B. Steele, Messrs Burford. Muagrave and O'Brien, and the Misse- Raymond, May, Robinson, Reed, Lewis, &c &c Plays by Shakespeare, Bouoicault, Wil'kie Collins, andH. J. Byron, will be produced. The repertoire as at present arranged is as follows:— Shakespeare's Henry IV., part first, will be the opening piece, and this is to be followed by several plays new to Auckland, such as "John Gaith, or All For Pride," a dramatisation of F. W. Robinson's novel "True to Herself." played by Mr Jack and Miss Firmin upwards of 500 times. '' Lemons," a new farcical comedy, and Mr Jack's special version of the " New Magdalen." in which Miss Firmin's acting is described as almost perfect. The season will commence on May Ith with "Henry IV." (first part*. Mr Jack takes the part of Fals'taff. We have previously referred to to the great success achieved by him in this character throughout America. Lord Dufferin, the Governor-General of Canada, expressed himself particularly delighted with his render ing of this part, and complimented the artist in the autograph letter which, it will be remembered, we published the other day. Miss Annie Firmin is 'o appear as the gay and reckless Prince Hal. According to American journals her lithe and graceful figure and wealth of golden hairpresents a mostattractivepicture. Henry the Fifth, as we all know, is described in history as tall and commanding, but with features almost effeminate. The character of the young prince is therefore particularly suitable for a lady to act. Miss Firmin, besides being an actress of wonderful versatility, possesses a soprano voice which many lyric artists might well envy. Her English ballad singing is a specialty, and will be a marked feature of her performances during the season. It is to be hoped that during this season the Theatre will be properly patronised. Con sidering the disheartening manner in which his previous enterprises have been treated, Mr DeLias deserves great credit for making another attempt, and we wish him very heartily every success.

CRICKET.

RESULT OF THE PIGEON MATCH AT POKENO.

The stakes were £50 aside. Twenty pigeons were allotted to each competitor. The rise was 27 yards, and the boundary 80 yards. Shooting commenced immediately on the arrival of the Waikato train, and resulted as follows :—Mr Henderson scored 13 out •of a possible 30, and Mr Bishop scored 26 out of a possible thiity.

The value ot coke as a fuel, and as a means of economy of coal, is not appreciated sufficiently. A mixed fuel of coal aud coke is invaluable for the ordinary purposes of heating, and still more for those of cooking and raising steam, as it absorbs the smoke or inflammable gases given off by coal during combustion, and renders the fire brighter, clearer, and hotter. Every house holder should buy coals and coke at the same time, and, if convenient, mix them ; smaller bills and satisfaction will be the result. The price of coke is advertised else where.—[ADVT. 1 Designers of fashion this season have Studied comfort and durability, as may be seen from the stock of Millinery, Dresses Mantles, &c, at T.
