THE PONSONBY REGATTA.

Action's Tips,

At an early hour on Monday morning tlie steamer Wellington, which is to act as flagship at the Ponsonby Regatta, will bo anchored about. midway between Shelly Beach and Northcoto Wharf. Ticket holders will be conveyed on board both from Queen - streot Whnrf and Shelly Beach. At 9.30 tho first race will start, And should tho weather prove fine, a good day's sport may be expected. The largo number of iiqw boats entered in different events renders tho task of select ing the winners prophetically more than usually difficult. This is most apparent In the race for twenty-foot open sailing boats, where such firio craft as the Dream, Maacotte, and Ika ate entered. Thoro is little doubt that these will form tho first three, and, further, I fancy the Dream will bo found third; In placing tho other two I feel some hesitation, but give Wny mouth'a boat tho preference. She ia the favourite for anything like heavy weather, although Bailoy's uoat will bo vory heavily backed, and if favoured with moderate weather will possibly come up to tte expectations of her suppor ters. Presauro on spaco prevents lengthy reference to the other raccc ; but I may ro tuark that a few post entries are expected. The only one of these, howover, Which may disturb my Ups is tho Apt, which, if in har bour, will take part in tho first raco. Amongst the now boats in other races is a yacht under four tons, called tho Black Swan, owned by Mr Webb, and built by J. Clare ; and a thirteen-feet open boat called the Ivy, built by Perrot. The latter should sail very well in. any weather. Briefly I anticipate as follows :—

Twelvb-Feet Oten Boats.- Ely, 1; Vie, 2.

Yachts (from 4 tons to 7 tons).—Chris tina, 1; Tamure, 2.

Amatbur Scuu-eks.—E. Bailey. Whalbboat Race (seniors).—Waitomata, 1 ; Ponsonby, 2. Yachts (4 tons and under). —Belle, 1; Ethel, 2 ; Magic, 3. Twenty-feet Open Boats.—Mascotto, .1; Ika, 2; Dream, 3. SIXTBEN-FEET OI'KX BOATS. —Ely, 1 J Yip, 2; Tip or Spray, 3. Whaleboat Race (Juniors). —Waitemata, 1; Ponsonby, 2. TIIIRTKEN-FBUT OPEN BOATS.—Ivy, 1 J Secret, 2 ; Dot, 3. Dutches.—Sullivan, 1 ; Bailoy, 2. Only Ponsonby crews being entered for the gig races, it is scarcely worth while to spculato as to the probable winners. In addition to the events enumerated, there will be a race between two crows from the Kohimarama school, and another between two crows from the Japanese corvette Tsu kuba.

THE KENNEDY FAMILY.

An event of great interest to all natives of the Land o' Cakes, "frae Maidenkirk to John o' Groats," is announced, viz., the opening of the Kennedy Family for a short season in the Choral Hall on Monday even ing next. The proverb has it that " a Scotchman is never at home unless when he is abroad," and we opine there are not a few hundreds in and around Auckland who will gladly avail themselves of the oppor tunity now afforded of spending an ideal "twa hours at hame." The Lowland Scot ■will have his recollections of the place of his nativity revivified by such songs as "The Laird o' Cockpen," "Jock o' Hazel dean," "When the Kye Come Hame," " The Barrin' o' the Door," &c.; those of the North will revel in such fragments as "Gin I wero where Gadie Kins," and "The Auld Man's Mare's Deid;" while the Celtic section will be delighted by the rendering in their native tongue of " Mairi Laghach,' "Morungeal diloas," and other popular Gaelic songs. Nor is the interest of these concerts confined to natives of Scotland and their children. Tho instrumental selec tions will, of course, be appreciated by all, and there are vocal gems of English song interspersed, which give the programme an acttractiveness to all sections of the community. The repertoire of the Kennedy Family is a most ex tensive one, and each concert has- a distinct programme. The performers aro five in number and ombrace Mr Kennedy pere, Misses Helen, Maggie, and Mar jory Konncdy, and Mr Kobert Ken nedy ; and their programme is so ar ranged as to presant for each evening a varied round of attractions, vocal, instru mental, and anecdotal. Besides the illus trative remarks and anecdotes given by Mr Kennedy, sen., wo observe there are humorous reading 3 eet down, which can not fail to prove thoroughly enjoyable. Lovers of Scottish song, and musical .students gonerally, will have food for their minds. Tho Melbourne "Argus" says of tho liannonisod Gaolic trios sung by the Missos Kennedy :- ---" The Gaelic trios are sweetly sung by these young ladies, and to all who are properly curious in music their archaic harmonies have a most lively interest. To hear music built upon an old-world-oriental Pcalo re peated by sweet young girl singers, who ■were themselves first taught in modern scale and western civilisation, shows that tho singere have made research, and that, perhaps not quite consciously, they are greater illustrators of musical art than they at present give themselves credit for being. Irrespective of oriental and occidental scale in music, the trios by the Misses Kennedy wero so fresh in effect that they were enjoyed with positive liking by the •whole of the largo audience present." The present visit of the Kennedy Family is said to be their " final farewell," and we believe this is positively their last appear anco in New Zealand. From here tho family proceed to Sydney, and after a short interval go Home. Their present season in New Zoaland has been a great euccoss, and we confidently anticipate their clos ing days in the colony will have the same characteristic.
