FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER 30, 1881.

For the cause that lacks auiilance, For the wrong that needs resistanc For the future in the distance* And the good that we can do.

In our Tuesday's issue, when directing the attention of the Domain Board to a sum of money voted by Parliament for Public Domains, we promised to return to the subject for the purpose of considering whether means might not be found to place the Domain permanently upon a better footing. No one will be prepared to say that its condition now is other than dis graceful. Reflecting upon the successful efforts made in * other cities—notably in Sydney, Melbourne, and Adelaide— to reclaim barren wastes for the creation of great public parks and botanical gardens, we cannot but admit that the very existence of the Domain in its present state is a standing protest against the good taste and public spirit of I the Auckland people. Nature has made tor us a garden ot rare beauty and delightful situation, requiring little from art to develop it into the most lovely summer resort in the colonies; yet so far as art has interfered, it has been to spoil rather than improve. Bich , native vegetation was mown down to make room for forests of unsightly pines, poplars, and blue gums. It is a hopeful sign of better coun sels to see that many of these ugly intruders are being ruthlessly exterminated, and though years have been lost m the growth of native trees, which, if put in wben these gum trees were planted, would now form handsome specimens, yet better late than never.

But we cannot hope for any really good work in the Domain until a substantial and permanent income is at its disposal. The few men now employed, are some times actually delayed in their pay until the trifling rents enjoyed by the Board accrue. The maintenance of so large an estate in even decent order under such cir cumstances is impossible. Where, then, may we look for new revenue ? To ask the Government for further endowment wd'ald be to waste both time and labour. If our claim were better than it is, there would be no chance of its gaining attention.; but looking at the large area of landalready held

by the Board, we are not sure that wo have even a moderately good claim to further grants. In any cose that course is not worth discussing, because of its absolute impracti cability. We are forced, therefore.to make an inspection of the property already at tho disposal of the Board in order to discover whether that body has not within itself the means of improving its own condition. We think it has. Nothing can exceed our aversion to any limitation of existing recrea tion reserves, bat it is possible to become a victim to the exaggeration of a very excel lent theory, This is exactly what has happened with thoso persons who have beforo opposed tho utilising of a part ot tho waste lands of the upper Domain in ordor to create a revenue for the main tenance of the rest.

Tbe term " waste lands " is litoiallyjdes criptive of certain sections of the Domain paddocks. There are out-of-the-way por tions of the open lauds on which human j foot rarely sets. A careful estimate has boen made which shows that 3 200 feet of frontage to five roads, equal to sixty-four allotments of fifty feet, might bo obtained without injuring in the slightest degree! ground required for recreation purposes) or detracting from the natural beauty! of the roservn. Leased under improve mont conditions the allocation of this ground as a means of creating a rovenuo would tend, to increase rather than I diminish tho attractions of the placo. By making a new street at tho back of Mason's nursery, another twenty allotments might be obtained. If. these eighty-four allot ments were leased, (is demand arises, at a rental of not less than £10 a year each, a rovenuo of £300 would be obtainod, and the Board would then bo in a position to carry Out necessary works. With tho funds derived from th'oso en dowments, the Board should take up the work so wretchedly Mulled "by the Acclimatisation —the formation of a botanical garden, and tho acetimatiea] tion of plants of economic value. Here, might be tested the capability of our climate * for the profitable cul ture of vaiious iuticlci of commerce. Kxperience would be gathered of great benefit to settlers in all parts of the country, and a work of such practical utility would attract both friends and funds. People who will not p_ay money for tho introduction of groin-eating birds, .will gladly enough sub scribe to help on the work of _botamcul acclimatisation. The Domain Board should bo partly elected by such subscribers, and partly representative of tho city and sub urban governing bodies. Wo do hot hesi tate to pay tbnt if such changes were carried into execution, the Domain would, in a few years,be the glory of Auckland,and a chief and inexhaustible source of interest and pleasure to its citizens and visitors. No climate in the world can produce botanical results excelling those of our own climate. With proper cultivation, tho products of temperate and tropical zones might bo com* bincd within tho fcornpass of a few acres of land. In carrying oat tbe scheme, however, overy precaution would have to bo taken to prevent the leasing of any land really necessary to the upon recreation re servo at the top of tho Domain, and strict limitation by statute of tho area authorised to be alienated to private use. But there is amplo space, and no serious difficulty would bo likely to arise on that score.

At Mbssts Hunter and Nolan's horse sale to-day the racehorse Hurkaway was put ud, but passed in at £100.

The directors of the Pumpiug Association met at Mr Stodart's office this morning at H o'cloete There were present—Messrs Brodio, Wilkinson, Peacock, Stone, Alex ander, R. McDonald, and-Larking, No business was done, tho meeting being adjourned till Tuesday.

The following telegram was received by Mr D. G. McDonald to day :—" Union lodged 401bs. specimens in -Bank of New Zealand last night.—THOS. Carrol."

The Mr Ilall.solicitor's clerk,whoso name appeared in our report of the Resident Mag istrate's Court cases of Thursday, was not Mr Thomas Hall, clerk to Messrs Jackson and Russell.

■ The Northern SS. Company's steamer Rowona landed all her Opunako carso sately at that port this morning, and left again on her return trip.

The case of Thomas Whitty y. T. T. Ander son, claim £2 7s wages in lieu of notice, was heard yesterday afternoon in the Resident Magistrate's Court, Mr Dufaur for defen dant. The .plaintiff deposed that he was pianist and general man at the Metropolitan Hotel at 15s a-week and " drink in modera tion." Ho was suddenly, and without sufficient reason, discharged by Mr Ander son. The defence was that plaintiff's daily allowance was two drinks per diem ; bat he went far beyond the fixed limit, and made himself quite at home with defen dant's cigars. The acconnt for extra drinks and cigars amounted to £4 11s, and he had paid defendant £1 4s in cash, which plain tiff admitted- Bis Worship could not admit the drinks at a set-off, as they came within the Tippling Act. Judgment was given for plaintiff for 15s.

The English "Court Journal"issoraewhat severe on the great American revivalists. It says:—"lt is currently reported that Messrs Moody and Sankey have abandoned their intention of visiting this country in the Autumn. We are sure they are not wanted.

Although we have lecturers and essayists ready and willing to deal with tho writings and genius of Shakspere, it is quite evident from the thinness of audiences at discussion classes, whenever the poet's great name is introduced, that people generally evince but little sympathy with Shaksperian sub jects, and seem to know quite enough of "Wondrous William," tho bard of Avon. Two Shaksperian subjects were announced for discussion last evening, at St. Andrew's Mutual Improvement Class, one by Mr Alderman, on " Hamlet," and the other by Mr Anderson, on .the poet's " Fools," bnt owing-to the paucity of members, the suo jects were postponed until Thursday next.

To the Editor: Sir,—Timos without number I have had to listen to the doleful complainings of new arrivals in this city, who, according to their own showing have nothing but starvation before them. Let croakers of that stamp road this, and learn what "grit" a true colonist is mado of. In the early part of July last I was on a visit to niy valued friend, the late Mr Andrew Dil worth, at his house, Mound Springs, Wai takerei, and during the evening he com municated to me the following:—Shortly after bis accident, whilst lying dangerously ill at Remuera, Mrs 'Dilworth, who was nursing him night and day, found she wanted certain linen for her sick hus band. Now 90 in 100 would have bought or borrowed some—not she! Early in the morning she took the cars tor Henderson's Mill, waited there until the ballast waggona started for Waita kerei, walked from the station to her home along the Worst road I ever travelled, washed the garments, hung them out, and, whilst drying, straightened her house, ironed them, and again plodded the same vile road, mounted the ballast waggons, took train from Henderson's and 'bus from this city to Eemucra, at which latter place she arrived at S p.m. the same evening. Whilst my.poor friend wa3 telling me all this, there sat his admirable wife by his side, looking as unconcerned as if sho had merely performed this task of love in her brother-in-law's kitchen and yard, instead of having travelled nearly 40 miles (there and back) so that her husband should have' clean linen to wear. I fear I shall not be thanked for what may bo deemed a breach of confidence, but I trust I may be par doned,—Yours, respectfully, T. B, HANNA FOBD, • S

The Earl of Lonsdalo has, wo learn, lately purchased the British gunboat New port, which ho bos fitted up as a steam yacht, intending to send her to the Arctic regions in search for truces of the Jcannotte. The yacht has been re-named tho Pandora —the former name, it may be remembered, of the Jeannette.

A clergyman in the West of England was astonished by receiving notice from all bis female servants. On proceeding to investi gate the cause, of which he had no suspicion, he found that the pointed nature of his discourse on the previous Sunday evening had offended the cook, and with tbat charming esprit dc corps which dis tinguishes the class, her fellow-servants had all adopted her quarrel. Tho un happy man had passed through the garden on the occasion in ques tion while the cook and her "young man" were tenderly conversing undor tho lilac trees, and had cone straight into church and given as his text, "Come into the garden, my sister, my spouse," and, as tho cook observed, she was not going to atand being preached at before tho whole congregation I No compromise could be effected, and the indignant damsels one and all departed.

The Wcsloyans in England have lately been much exercised in mind over certain descriptive and critical articles whichhave ap peared in the Edinburgh " Review," '*The Times," and " The Saturday Review." The whole pyfltem of Methodism has been ex amined, its peculiarities pointed put, its ex cellencies praised, and its faults judiciously censured. The "Quarterly's" article is tho foundation on which tho others are based, and it baa all the appearance ot being written by a man behind the scenes; that is to say, by ono who has been, if he is not now, in the IVeskyan ministry. The effusion of the "Saturday Review" is characteristically sarcastic and smart; and it would seem that this has given most offence to the good followers of John Wesley. The " Times," if it is weighty in its remarks, is, us usual somewhat dull, and not altogether accurate' But there is much in the three articles in , question which might be studied and pon dered with considerable advantage by the Wesleyan body; for though John Wesley is generally by them considered as infallible as the Pope himself, his system is capable of improvement in many of its details. The copies of the publications. in which the articles aro published will be. found in tbo Public Library; they will well repay even tho general reader for perusal.

Tho " Visitors' Book for Ladies'' at the Free Public Library is an interesting volume, and will repay inspection. Un fortunately, however, for the lords of crea tion, the.c are only a privileged few of their number who are" permitted access to it. For the benefit of the proscribed ones, a little information may thorefore bo given touching the contents of the tabooed register, of feminine opinions and fancies. Separate columns arc set apart for. the inscription of the names of visitors, the dates of entry, profession or calling, and "Remarks." There is nothing very particular about the' caligraphy, and tho only thing that need be remarked about the column for the "Profession or Calling "is tbat it has been little used. One visitor had placed tho general term "lady"a[tor her name, but on second thoughts had evidently mado a very determined effort to erase it. The " Re marks," however, claim attention. There are about 100 of them, and of these 17 are the laconic "good" and "verygood," 10 "very nice," and 11 "excellent." Thesp flattering comments, we presume, apply to tbc whole institution, and not merely to the very small part of it assigned the ladies. Then there is one " delightful," one "sublime," ono "charming," a few who think it "interesting,'' and one gushing young maiden, who pronounces it "simply divine." Two of these amiable critics con cur in thinking the Library " a great boon to ladies," a third designates it "a good idea well carried out," and a fourth parodies the sentiment by declaring it " a bad idea well carried out." All of the expressions of opinion are not of a coulour de rose character, however. Ono bilious damsel writes the institution down as "not up to much"; another considers the ladic3' room " not half so good aa the gentlemen have"; a third laments tbat "the best books are at the gentlemen's end " ; and a fourth reluctantly admits that the Library is "good for some people." These are the leading expressions of opinion. They indicate that the softer sex at any rate are not oblivious to the advan tages of the establishment, modest though it is, and unpretentious their portion of it.

Oar London correspondent writing by the last mail about the Wimbledon riflo compe tition, aays :—" The riflemen have had a busy time on Wimbledon Common. To enumerate a titbe o£ the numerous competi tions wonld carrrymo beyond tho limits of a brief summary. I will, however, mention Bomcot the more important contests. On the 17th inst., the Lords and Commons match, which always attracts a goodly assembly of <$lite, was won by the represen tatives of the Upper House by 439 points against 393. Tho Queen's Prize—that desideratum of so many crack shots—was won on the 19th inst., by Private Beck, of the 3rd Devon, with a Bcoro of 86 points, being threo more than has been made by any previous winner of the gold medal. The victory of the west-countryman was hailed with the greatest satisfaction, The Klcho Shield, which since 1876 has migrated between Edinburgh and Dublin, was shot for on the 21st inst., and wou by tho English teams; the respective scores being (for tho three ranges): Jsngland,l,642; Ireland, 1,549 ; and Scotland, 1,501. A very successful and ctlicient Service of Song was given at the Wesleyan Church, Woodsidc, on the evening of the 29th mat. by the choir, under tho leadership of Mr Wetherald. The object oi the service was to raise funds to increase the Sunday-school library, which is as yet but small. The public were admitted by ticket, and the Jittle church was well filledl>y a very res- I pcctable audience from the surrounding dis tricts. The service was " The Desire of All Nations." The Key. Mr Bond road the selections, and Mrs Goodwin Smith pre sided at the harmonium, and both reading and music were listened to with marked attention throughout the service, and were commented on in terms of the greatest satisfaction after the close. Mr Wetherald is worthy of all praise for the patient, per severing, and successful manner in which he has instructed the choir. This is the second service since March last, and the singing on the Sabbath days now is a grand contrast to what it was before Mr Wether aid's advent to Woodside.— Cobrespon- DBKT.

The heat in England and the west of Europe generally last July was intense. On the 15th inst., ninety-live degrees in the shade wore registered in London by the Meteorological Department of the Board of Trade, although in some parts of the metropolis the extraordinary reading of 93 was recorded. On Tuesday, toe sth in stant, when the heat was broken up by a violent thunderstorm,the shade temperature was 92. Tnat had been exceeded only four times within 23 years. -On the 16th June, 1868, the record was 94; July 22,1868, 96; July 17,1876, 94; and August 14, 1576, 93. Assuming the above reading of 93 to be correct, it was the hottest day which has been experienced in London for nearly a quarter of a century.. From many parts of the kingdom intelligence of the prevalence of intense heat has been received. A field day of tho troops at Chatham was aban doned through this cause. In several parts of tho Black Country, work at the forges and blast furnaces bad to bo suspended. In some parts of tho United States, how ever, the temperature in the shade was reported to have exceeded 100, and it is officially stated that 500 deaths from the heat occurred in Cincinnati in the course of six days. Tho greatest mortality was among children ana old people.

In the House of Commons on the 25th of July, Sir Michael Hicks Beach moved his vote of censure on the Government for their action in connection with the Transvaal, which (to quote the words of the resolution) " so far as hus yet been explained to Parlia ment has resulted in the loss of valuable lives without vindicating the authority of the Crown, and is fraught with danger to the future tranquility and safety of Her Majesty's dominions in South Africa." The speaker, after severely criticising the manner in which the Government had car ried on and concluded, the war with the Boers, dwell at some length and with con siderable ability upon our obligations to wards the 660,000 natives who people the Transvaal, and more particularly to wards the loyal Boers and Eng lish settlers who had staked their property on the faith of the annexation being adhered to. An amendment by Mr Bathbone, expressing approval of the steps taken by the Government was supported, amongst others, by Mr Chamberlain (who disposed of one of the principal allega tions from the other side, by showing that negotiations were opened with the Boers before any check had been received by the British arms) and Mr Gladstone who, in a long and eloquent speech, pointed out that ■ the Government had done everything in their power except the shedding of more blood, to vindicate the Queen's authority, that it having been proved conclusively that the Transvaal had been annexed under a misrepresentation as to the wishes of the Boers, justice itself demanded that we should withdraw, and that the conditions of peace subscribed to by the Boers had been so far adhered to.

A mistaken idea has got abroad in certain quarters that.the new steamer Macgregor draws more water than was intended. We are informed on the best authority that this is not the case; she comes fully up to ex pectations in exory respect. Mer draught, with 20 tons of coal in bunkers and boilers full, is 6ft. 11 in., and with 100 tons of cargo in she would draw no more. Her average steaming capacity at the various trials was 9£ knots. The vessel also answers her helm splendidly, turning completely round within her own length.

The Hindoo thief's manner of scaling walls is very ingenious. It is by means of a huge lizard, which he carries with him in his nocturnal rambles. The process is as follows : The lizard, which is per haps a yard in length, with great claws and flattened feet, and suction powers like those of a fly, is made fast to the dacoit (the Hindostan name for a robber) by a tough cord tied to its tall. When the dacoit is pursued, and comes in his hasty flight to a wall, he quickly throws his lizard over it, holding fast to the other end of the cord. By means of its suction-powers the lizard fastens itself to the wall on the opposite side, and the thief draws himself to the top and jumps lightly down. By choking the lizard it is made to release its hold.

O'Donovan-Roasa, from whose journal the ("United irishman1') we have had occa sion to quote, writing in allusion to the in fernal machines discovered on a Liverpool steamer, says : "If those barrels were de signed to execute Mr Forstcr and Mr Glad stone for their murders in Ireland, we are sorry they did not reach them in proper fashion. It is our opinion that (the Irish in fighting England could burn down Lon don, Liverpool, Manchester, and other big Engliih cities, and could easily burn down England's shipping, particularly her mer chant ships; and we say tho Irish should do it, and hope in God they will do it, it England will not give up Ireland at a lesser sacrlhce." Tho American newspapers, to their credit be it said, have not been slow in denouncing these atrocities, and almost unanimously express a hope that the gov ernments pt the two countries will co operate with each other in preventing and punishing crimes of this nature.

Against everything which tends to place additional burdens upon the working man we shall at all times raise oar voice in protest, for we hold that those who perform the hardest part of Ufa's work ought certainly to have no unjust taxes Imposed upon their hard-earned wages.

Mr Hudson Williamson, Crown Proßeoutor, appeared with Mr Pardy (or the prosecution. Mr Lalshley said ha had to ask lor another re mand lor eight days,as he was not yet in a pos. tion to go on with the case. Tnore were.he said; several bondsmen for tho defendants living ia tho country, and in order to prevent inconven ience he would ask that their bond be taken to day lor the defendants to appear from time to time as tbe case Was adjourned. He suggested a form of. bond which ho had drawn up. Mr Laiahley alßo said that although he was waking the application for adjournment he believed the Crown Proseoutor was not prepared to go on with the case. It was a mutual arrangement. His Worship said he would like to know whon the case would come on, in order that he might be able to make his arrangements accordingly. Mr Laishley said it waa for the Urown wose outor to fix the date, as he would be engaged for come time at the supreme Court, and his convenience would necessarily be affected, Mr H. Williamson, Crown Proseoator, con sidered it would be desirable to have the caao heard through a full week, without a break on Sunday. This would happen if the case were commenced on a Friday. He would be engaged at the Criminal Sessions of the Supreme Court during tho continuance of tho sittingl. Mr Tyler, who appeared for the defence, also had several cues coining on at the Civil Sessions ot the Court, whioh take place subsequent to the hearing of the orimlnal cases. It would there fore probably bo some time before theßO con spiracy and perjury charges oould be heard. Tho only way out of the dimculy would be to adjourn for 8 days, and then apply for a lurthrr adjournment. - . Mr Laishley was agreeable to this course t>a- The oases were accordingly adjourned for 8 days: and it was understood that new bonds be prepared, to be approvod of by the Crown Prose outor and the Court.

AUCKLAND DRAMATIC SOCIETY.

It has been a nutter of comment through out tho colony, that the good people of Auckland are always ready to subscribe liberally to any charitable object, the question of nationality or religion of those in need, of relief, never being taken to gauge the extent of their benevolence. The ear nestness with which the movement in aid of the persecuted Jews in South Russia has been carried on, and the large amount to cheerfully subscribed, is a credit to the city. In order to increase the amount still more, the Auckland Dramatic Society gave a benefit performance at the Theatre Royal last evening. The audience was one of the largest that has ever assembled at a theatrical performance in Auckland, the dresa circle especially being crammed, many barely finding standing room. The lower put of the houae was also well patronised. The arrangements made by the committee for the comfort of those present were moat complete, and iv spite of the crush those who had taken the precaution of reserving their seats beforehand had the full benefit,«f their forethought. The menu comprised Buckstone's comedietta " Box and Cox " and "On Guard," a comedy by W. S. Gilbert, the author of "Pinatorc." la "Box and Cox" Mr C. D. Robertson, Mr E. Townsend and a lady amateur filled the parts .of Box, Cox, and Mrs Bouncer respectively. Mr Robertson especially distinguished him self, showing indubitably that he is thoroughly aware of the exigencies of a low comedy part. The first part went just a little slow, but before the end the absurdities of the little . plot had the audience in a perpetual roar. After a brief intermission, the curtain rose on "On Guard." It has, we understand, never before been played on Auckland boards. The plot is a clever one, and has the merit of possessing originality — a somewhat scanty virtue with modern playwrights. Alias Jessie Blake, an orphan, living under the guardianship of her uncle, makes the acquaintance of Mrs Fitzosborn, a fascinating widow and a complete woman of the world. Under Mrs Fitzosdorn's polished tuition, Jessie becomes initiated in the art of flirt ing, despite the fact that she is engaged to Guy Warrington (Mr F. Montgomery), a young officer under orders to proceed to Gibraltar. Sly; encourages the advauces of' Kavanagb, an adventurer (Mr M. Barnett), and " draws out" Denis Grant (Mr F. Damar), an African traveller and an old schoolfellow and staunch, friend of her 'intended husband's, who is, however, uu> awaro of her engagement to Guy, Denis makes an offer of his hand and heart to Jessie and is rejected, and Guy, on his de parture, confides bis lady-luve to the keeping of his schoolfellow, who determines to honestly fulfil the trust. Kavanagh, who has an eye to the main chance—Miss Blake's money—is, on the advice of Mrs Fitzosborn, invited to make one of a yachting patty to Cadiz in the Skylark. Baby Boodle (Mr F. Pearson), a .lisping swell blessed with a very small quantity of brains, and cuamoured of ttfe fascinating widow, is likewise one of the party. Grouse (Mr C. D. Robertson) is a pettifogging attorney, who attempts to blackmail Kavanagh by means of a story that Miss Blake is not the true heiress to her uncle's.property, but overreaches himself. The yacht is off Cadiz when the flirting of Jessie with Eavanagh calls for a reprimand from Denis, who, orcourse, ia attending to, his friend's interest;, and the adventurer appearing on deck at a critical moment, a "scene occurs. Jessie, with the caprice of woman, supports Kavanagh, and Denis is forced to apologise. Just at this j unctiire Groutetappeara unexpectedly, having busi ness of a private nature with Kavanagh res pecting Mrs Grant's money, and is a wit ness to what occurs. Denis leaves the yacht and goes to Gibraltar by another route, .and meeting Guy is misunderstood and insulted by his dearest friend. The denouement ia brought about by the arrival of all the persons con cerned, and vice seems about to triumph when Grouse makes a statement which puts matters on a proper footing, and curtain falls on perfect happiness being restored. As is usnal with Gilbert's dramatic com position, the dialogue bristles with repartee and witticisms, and its success depends more on the thorough acquaintance of every member of the the dramatis persona) • with his or her part,' than any superabundant excellence on the part of one or two of the principal character. All were thoroughly au fait with their several parts—not .a single hitch occurred. The palm must be awarded to Mr C. D. Robertaon. Bis acting would have been creditable on any stage, while his make-up was perfect. He repre sented the keen-witted though contemptible comedy attorney to perfection, and was particularly amusing iv the mal de mer scene, while the mixture of feeling when he discovers himself in the power of Eavanagh, was really a powerful piece of dramatic representation. Mr Frank'Pear son's Baby Boodle created much amusement, though- perhaps -just a little overdone. The lisp and well-bred stutter were oxcellently portrayed, though tne make up was scarcely that of the con ventional society blockhead. Mr Damar' had a comperatively easy task in the part of Denis Grant, and without overstraining himself—a frequent fault of ambitious amateurs, " pas;"- in somewhat matter-of fact characters—he quite successfully' per formed the exigencies of his "part. Mr M.' Barnett as Kavanagh, fell short of the re quirements of his part, inasmuch as his conception of the character did not portray the unscrupulous adventurer in his true light; in fact, he appeared to us to be merely an easy young gentleman of harmless proclivities, loving Jessie Grant a little and her money a little more. The Guy Warrington of Mr Montgomery was a good stnge portrait of the modern lover— notone of tho " wof ul ballad to his mistress's eyebrow-class " —and"he exhibited consider able dramatic power in tbe last act, when, In an agony of grief, he strikes his friend. The names of the ladies who took the part of Jessie and the widow did not appear on the programme. Mrs Fitzosborn was ex cellent, her insinuating mode of address being, the "dangerous widow in every respect." The young lady who accepted the r6le of Jessie Grant, scarcely threw sufficient animation into the part, but notwithstand ing, that defect was naive and pleasing. On the_ fall of the curtain the applause was deafening, and though the length of the performance was rather great, all appear to have enjoyed themselves heartily. The gross proceeds amaunted to £120.
