ABBOTT'S OPERA HOUSE.

"Tho Busybody,

I HiaßMr-A-Usiso old English comedy, entitled "The Busybody," was produced for the first timo in Auckland at tho Opora Rouse last evening by Miss do Grey and Coipany. The play is interesting through- Jat beinp descriptive of society lifo in ' the old story of lovo versus ooney, with love eventually victori ous Incidentally many laughablo situa tion's ara introduced, and the dialogue jj generally clover and witty. Miss de Grey, as Mirai.da, had a oongonial part, md displayed the features of that jharacter with considerable vivacity and tmtbful-Bss, which called forth frequent jipressiona of admiration from the audi dnce. In acts requiring dissimulation, she prored unusually entcrtaiping, and gave a mwtapproved interpretation of the part. Jit A. T. Hilton played Sir Francis GripS] guardian of Miranda, in «cooiinencteble manner, and ably depicted tha DC- ftnd silly old man through ouf hi- dotage upon his ward, his fflSjjviction that she would marry him, and h_"tilti_iate discomfiture and collapse when is made the discovery that ho had been co farledaatray that just when he imagined his ideal was reached, Sir Georgo Aisley itepped in and claimed her as his promised wife. Tho latter character was delineated by Mr Morton Selton in a quiet gentlemanly manner, which lent much to the success of the whole. Mr J. P, West appeared as Sir Jealous Traffic, Jit M. Brodie as Charles, Miss Lowers M ißabinda, and Miss Carrie Stewart as Patch, and ably represented their re jpectiva parts, and introduced another oily old gentleman, another gay joung pur of lovers, and another series of itici (jenbt, in which the former is victimised, while the latter have their best wishes for a onion realised. Marplot, as played by Mr M. Kinghorne, was a very necessary dimeter, which went far towards* sus taining the humour of the play. Thia singular individual appears at meat inopportune intervals, and by a amalgamation of intense curiosity Bid unfailing misfortuno whenever he at taptato serve his friends, ho produces some roost ludicrous eituations. Mr King home, in this part, made an excollontßusy- WjMndprovokedgreatamusement. "Tho BujWij," on tho whole, was a success, • and m well received by a largo u&oct. It was followed by tho comic Scotch drama, " Cramond Brig," which iln proved of an interesting character. M_«vening the Company will appear in ifw favourite emotional drama, "East Ljrnne," with Misn de Grey in the dual diameters of Lady Isabel and Madam Vine.

Auckland Agricultural and Pastoral Association.

Th« annual meeting of the above Aesocia tiim was held this afternoon, Mr Thomas lloflrin presiding.

. Eepokt and Balance-sheet,—From the Mnnal report It appeared that there was evidence that a broader and more general interest was being taken in the work ot the association than in any previous period of its existence. There was every prospect that next show would bo the mesi mccfriafal Jret held. k lfore substantial prizes would be given for eligible exhibits, and there was reason.to believe that~tho adop tion of the sub committee's recommendation would make the exhibition more repre tentative. The balance sheet showed that tile receipts, with a surplus of £362 from fast year, had amounted to £628, while the expenditure was £512, 18s 4d, leaving a balance of £116 Oa sd.—The report and balance sheet were adopted on the motion of the Chairman.
