The arrangements for the Boucicault season are announced. The opening night in Auckland will be Monday, 23rd inst., on which date and three following nights probably the most famous of all the great dramatist's plays, "Tho Shaiigbraun," will bo produced, with the author in tho role of Conn. It is difficult to Bay whether Mr Boucicault has won most futuo as the'author of this well-known play, or as the exponent of its principal character. "The Shaugraun " will be performed four nights in all, and will give place on Friday, the 27th, of "Arrah-na-Pogue," which in turn will be succeeded by " The Colleen Bawn." Very active work is going on at the theatre under Mr Leitch's diroction to ensuro a fitting pro duction of all these plays during what may safely bopredicted will bothegroatest drama tic event as yet achievod in tho colony. The question of prico of admission has received careful consideration, and Messrs Mac- Mahon and Leitch have abandoned their original intention of charging exceptionally high prices, and it is satisfactory to know that they have decided upon a very mode rate scale of charges, in order to bring tho opportunity of witnessing the great actor's performances within tho resources of all. Tho box plan for all theso performances will be opened to-morrow morning.
