THEATRE ROYAL.-REMENYI THE VIOLINIST.

CniUßi °l tl,oir ntertainer, and gavo thomsolvpa ovor St «nd soul to the enthusiasm which his play'nK would enkindle even ta the most phlegmatic bosom. Remenyi lands by tho sido of Joachim and YS d- Mmi as one of tho leading violinists of the Ze yielding to them nothing in point of JS.Su.,but by his warm.poOii; tohipora- Lent and intenso pntnctisM occupying a totally distinct posfctitn. Ho is m genens. Tlko ffoacMm 'he graduated under tho iJitoiace <f J080l!h Boelllll. olth°r from whom or from his rival, Mayso j«r all tho most distinguished vio- Sini'ete of the last generation re waived thoir instruction. In tho first flush of youth, he warmly threw himsolf into tho struggle for Hungarian in dependence, and when the contest was ovor he cave himself up to tho art which be has since followed and adorned. Thirty years »_o ho produced a perfect Jurorc in tho talon* of *>ark ft,l(l tlno wncort -ootns of London, and skico then he has travelled widely, everywhere meeting with tho rccoptlon Which talents inph as his cannot fail to command. His appearance is rather peculiar. Tho droMwnlchhc Effects—n Ma\.k volvot coat buttoning «P to tho chin, ond falling straight down to to knees of his black trouiors—gives him a clerical nspcct.n'id his shaven face ami seemingly tonsured head ac centuate his likoncss to a violiniatie monk or boly friar. Once he has swept his bow across the strings of his eloquent in strument, he becomes apparently oblivious to his surroundings—thoroughly bound up with the music which ho is discoursing— snd man and violin seom to bo portions of tho same anatomy, In soft, pensive, and i engtohisdl movemonts ho appears rapt in ecstatic meditation, but witli tho first notos of the transition to a thorcc imbued with passion, and asconding to a pitch of fiory ! adonr.his figure becomes instinct with lite, and sways and brads in consonar<co with the cadences of tho musio, hi" face at the same too acting as a sure JindexJ to the emotions which ho fools and givos such powerfal utteramW to. It is easy to sco {Jit the mv* which ho interprets thrills tough every fibre of his being, and it is not difficult, either, to porcoivo the Roaring which is impartod to it ST his strongly - marked individuality ef treatment. No musician who has ovor mited these shores has moro quickly and directly placed himself thoroughly en rapport with his audience, and bound them more etectaally in responsive sympathy to evory phase of emotion which sobs or TOits out under tho conjuring tnliuonce of Ma masterful hand, Mia playing is a kind of musical tbaumaturgy such as legendary lore has ascribod to tho pied piper of Haraelin. it is certainly the acme of art. Difficulties of teeMAquc are oilysoraaay opportunities for display. Ho produces the most brilliant harmonics with tho greatest ease, ami his doublo-stopping and pkzicato-playilig nro a revelation to omatoars, the host of whom must bo con founded by the interval which lies be (irceß him and tho playor in point ot proficiency. Rem^nyi'ij engaged contribu tion to the concert programme last night wets three in number, but tho delighted Judionce, once assured of his quality, enforced their right of or.coro with such

eOectthat three more woro added. Tho lir^t piece waa a fantasia by tho violinist himself upon themes from "Les Huguonots," and it was eieented most delcetably. Somo Cloth was noisily withdrawing as tho player began, bat be immediately stopped his bow until the sounds had died away—a silent wprwf which tho audience at once emphasiiied by their ready applause. Tho aits fioia Meyerbeer's grand mastorpieco formed a fitting medium for tho odequato Ulustratioß of Remenyi's rich fancy and eijKßsivs stylo of execution. With the beautiful tenor air ho fairly (harmed Ms hearers, and with tho deep and impressive pathos of tho prayer ho Unehed their hearts most subtly. A( aro the fie tone of tho violin was j foattf did toorous, at tho next moment tie auditor migkt persuade hhttsolf tW ho, na listening to a passionate duet between two sweetly attuned voteos, and thon again there would follow a strain of subdued but qoiveringaiiguish. In complianco'with tho atitsiastio encore of tho audionce, Ko n<nw transported thorn with delight by Uiaeßcions rendering of a pretty sotting otEkhabert'swell-known "Serenade." Tho leritiolin number was tho musician's own insogement Of Hungarian melodies. At Hi bands their'nativo, beauty distinctive rtjthm.and cast of emotion woro brought ml into the fullest relief. His power of wrossion also wasattestodby the varied play ofleelinnwhiohhoovokedfromasinglostriug. Hi was, of coarse, recalled, and amid a JBlh of expectancy began tho familiar scotch air "Auld Robin Groy." It was wlaidwitha floridity of ombollisbmont wfch showed off to advantage tho violinist's fancy and ease, but it was when k abruptly glided into the whimisical hntssia upon " The Campbells are Comin'," associated with an imitation of Wagpipes.rising gradually to fortissimo, •jd then as gradually recoding to m vanishing point of tho faintest pmsaimo, that ho fully exhibited tho perfect knowledge and mastery ho has over wry reeoarce of his instrument. Tho last n ™er was a musical caprice by Taganini, waft waa played con amore. As before, '»aidiance clamoured for more, and MMnyi obligingly contributed a Mnpnan "Hymn of Liberty," composed jyhlmseU. Although few, if any, in tho ■wy of tho Theatre could have knownits Moo, noae could havo failed to recognise mlt was a patriocio air. It is highly «pressjve, and from its violinist composer «received an interpretation which was eioqueqt in a very eminent degree. To ™«»de, no one can fully appreciate how eaonnoualy the violin transcends all other «»» instruments in expression, and how "JWBiW and marvellous are its resources TOtont hearing this gifted violinist. a« is a magnificent performer.

SPORT IN MEW SOUTH WALES.

Bloycling.-A Famous Ride. This is tho ago of athlotics. Boating, running, walking, and bicycling play no insignificant part in tho programme of the various sports of this colony. And it is us it should bo, Nothing is inoro worthy of festering than that which ongendors healthy exorcise and physically benefits thoso who <ndulfro therein-. Prominent aMong the four principal atMotfp. pursuits referred to, bicycling may bo said at the presort! dujf to Atthkct tho greatest amount of admirers and attention, From early morn to d'owy ovo, turn in what direction you will, tho bicy-1 clist may bo soon pursuing tho evon and noisoloss tenor of liis way, not tho observed of ad obsorvore, but only as a unit in tho crowd, who see nothing uncommon or uncanny in his appearance Woe betide the unlucky wheelman who had attempted a similar moans of amusement in tho ourly part of tho prosont century, more ospecially oftor night had fallen in tho stroots. A small red light in tho distanco, then suddenly out of tho dis tance a figure shoots by, moving itn lower limbs incessantly, mul it is gone, only to give placo te another as, liko ghostly spectres, thrjy flit by in silent procession, weird but human. Ono sight of a bicycle undor thoso circumstancos would havo lasted our fore fathers to thoir dying day, and many would havo beon tho talos handed down to tho prosont generation of the night "tho doil was abroud." Nowadays, howover, tho bicycle becomes not only an urticlo of amuse ment, butnn article of sorvico, and in many cusosit has superseded tho horse, notably so in connection with the delivery of letters and telegrams. Ono of tho most astonishing feats of tho professional bicyclist recently oumo undor our notice, at the Exhibition Buildings, when Mr Kolfe, the champion of tho Australian colonies, rode 100 miles against time. In (.lire, limine. 45secs. ho accomplished tho distance, fulfilling, with a few seconds to spare, the conditions of the match. During tho performance it was noticeable that, after a few minutes' retire ment from tho track, tho champion appeared (although he had hurt his knoo) to resume his rido with undiminished vigour and in creased speed. Noto was mado of this by more than ono of tho spectators, and tho great bicyclist waa keonly watched evory timo ho mounted. Speculation was rife, and many wero tho surmises indulged iv as to what tho champion utilised as a restorer. Some suggested a bath, but thut was dismUsod on the grounds of timo, " What ever hotites,"saidonoexcitedspectator, "it's up to the handle ; takes no time, and turns him out as fresh as a two-year-old. I'll find out before I go homo if I got a chance at Kolfe." However, tho chanco did not como to hand, and tho wished-for information was not imparted on tho occasion. An interview with tho champion set tho mattor at rest, and, far from it being any secret private preparation tbat Mr Uolfe usos during his performances, it camo out that it was a woll-known Gorman remody within the reach of overyono. Speaking of the great contest between John Watson, of Australia, and himself for the championship of all tho colonies, Mr Eolfe said : —"I desire to add my cheorful endorsement of tho good effects I have at all times received from the use of St. Jacob's Oil when in active training and racing. During my recent six days' contest held in the Molbourno Exhibition Building for Jt'soo and tho championship of tho Australian und adjacent colonies, it was my boon com panion. I continually used it boforo and after each day's performance, and the results simply astonished me. After riding for 8 consccutivo hours each day—viz., from half past 2 until half-past 10, my limbs would becorao sore and stiff from ovor oxertion, but after boing well rubbed with the Oil, all muscular pain immediately vanished, and I felt as fresh as ever. As proof positive, after the contest was ovor, I rodo 100 miles against timo before a public audience, and I accomplished it in (i hours 11 minutes 45i seconds. Another application of St, Jncob'sOil was mado, and it removed all feolings of fatigue, and I folt porfoctly fit for anothor race. lam positive it aided mo to win tho match, and I shall novor enter a similar contest without a bicycle ond St. Jacob's Oil. I strongly advise all ' wheel men ' and othor athlotos to give it a trial, and fool fully convincod thoir oxporioncos will compare favourably with my own." Comment is almost unnecessary whon facts aro so significant as to spoak for themsolvos. Not only has Mr Ivolfo found tho bonefits of this, the greatest discovery of tho presont ago, but thorearo numbers—and their name is legion—who can unhesitatingly testify to its miraculous and wonderful curativo pro perties.

William Ewart Gladstone.

Disraeli-waa a more showy and rapid man. Bismarck has the reputation of being deeper and more far-seeing ; but Gladstone has the European reputation of being tho man who can hold himself uncommittad to anything until be is ready, and then come witb crushing force on his onponouta. His campaign in 1878 was characteristic of tho man. He " went for" tho hand quarters of the onortiy straightaway, and having routed them in Midlothian, returned south, carrying everything before him. He seems on a fair way to repeat tho perfor mance in the present campaign. He is a wonder of vitality. Fancy a man of 75 holding all the cares of a vast empire and discharging them with a vigour nover beaten by his best achievements of 30 years ago. The grand secret of so long a lifo of success is that he has ever taken caro of his hoalth. This should bo noted by pooplo who are now negloctingthosymptoms of what may load to permanent martyrdom, to neuralgia and rheumatism. St, Jacob's Oil costs little, and may be obtained every where. Why, then, run the risk of having thoso shooting pains become chronic when the application of so easily accessible a remedy is a provod preventative I

A Giant Ship.

The Cunard Co. has just launched a mon ster ship, the Umbria, of .8,000 tons, and with steam power up to 12,000 borte. Notwithstanding the croakers who pointed to the Great Eastern failure, and who said that eho would provo an equal failure, a trial trip has proved hor the grandest vossel tho world has ever seen, having steamed without difficulty or dangor up to 24 miles an hour. The Company and the engineers have oovered themsolves with glory, and their magnificent buccops will be followed up now by other compan ies, who will even excel tho Umbria. It is aa certain as that tho sun shines that within a few years the distance between Australia and England will be covered in 20 days at the outside. We can concoive of no moro magnificent sight than that of tho groat 10,000-ton monstsrs of tho future cleaving thoir way over the ocean undor sari and stoam at the rate of 30 miles an hour. This the Cunard Co. will certainly bring about within a few years. Speaking of that line, it may not bo gcnorally known that such a thing as a fatal accident has never been known aboard one of thoir ships. In case of sprains or bruises thero is always an amplo supply of St. dacob's Oil aboard, but beyond that the health and well-being of tho passengers is loft to tho care of tho officers and good diet.

New Guinea Exploration.

It is always a tempting thing to adventurous spirits to set out and exploro new lands. The vast island of New Guinea is the El Dorado ot our reatloas spirits; but hitherto all attempts to cross the ißland havo been f ruitlesa on aocount of the woaknesa and inexperlenco ot tho ex plorers, and tho hostility of tho natives. A Mr Kerry has recontly been gtvinc U3 some facts and foncioß of a tour, in which ho osaorta thoy found 12 great rivers, ranging from threo quartei'B to a mile wide, and also somo eplondid specimens of gold. He has shown some of tho gold, and that of Itself is sure to draw further investigation. But it appears tho party made very free with their guns. This is the fatal mis take of a small party. Thoy are afraid, and the natives know it. What ia required ia a party largo onough, and sufficiently equipped with pro visions, ammunition (and St. Jacob's Oil, in case of neuralgia or rheumatism caught from ex posure), and meanß of keeping up a clear track of communication from behind. Whothor Bueh a party can bo got together by private enter prise remains to be seen. One thing is certain, however: Whatever means aro adopted to cross the ißland, a decided stop should be taken to prevent this indiacriminate shooting down of men who have an undoubted right to their own land.

Ocean Races.

There Ib no grander spectacle in the world than that of a great ship cleaving her trackless way acrosß the tumbling waves. By tho appli cation of Bteam we have now been ablo to attain a rate of speed undreamt of in old times; and, juat as wo admire first the great racehorse for hiß speed, and then join in the maddening ex citement of a great race, so now the Bame spirit has been carried into ocean racing. Enormouß vessels, carrying hundreds of pas sengers and untold wtalth. go tearing acroßS brood oceans, striving to outstrip each other by a few hours in a race ot thouaauds of miles. The spectacle is certainly grand; but how about the safety of the people?. It's all very well for shipowners to pocket their proMa; button tit abit too much when the lives of hundreds depend noon the race! WhaUßrequiredisnotonlyapeed, but speed with safety, lt is quite ppßaiblo, for instance, in the case of a painful disorder, to obtain immediate relief by injections under the Akin, or by taking opium or some preparation of it But at what a cost. Better a thousand times to .follow the course of nature and use a remedy like St. Jacob's Oil, which not only relieves the pain, but goes straight to the cause pi the ailment, and effects a permanent oure.

Jci;rßc!o9 of management, and Jho in ability of not ateo<.imodatiijg all that came to the Hotel, have gone With it. But whatovcr MB boon, or what may be, lit !(a hope the year &.< will revoal and bo the forerunner of many years of success and prOsnerity for those who may try for it. The rotroapect of a man's life—his business, tho town in which bo lives, or even tfco world which holds them both—may or may not be plea sant to contemplate, yet its reminiscences can be uSt'd as guiding posts for all future actions. . The physical aspect of Auckland city and its surroundingshttofc+tliobetterchangedao rapidly 'to the astonishment of all, and unaccountably !so oven to its oldest inhabitants. Willi them in :tho perspective it is positive. Tho old suburba absorbed by Die city; new saburbs formed ; new stroota made ; buildings erected that would da crndit to tho older citiea of tho world—all of thi3 iio-ffly-er'eated power is but the result of Nature's ittWtttiful gifts: without it, man's utilit'ii-ian prOcl-Tjt.ieo'in many respects would be useless. True thonamongatthe many buildiiigimprove ments in tho City, hotol accamm^dttDion is tho most conspicuous, and without prs»«mption it may bo mentioned ORAM'S HOTEL etandJpre-om-lnently tho best in Auckland. According to' tho original dcalgn, the Hotel has udvanceS one stage further towards its final, completion. The new addition with its Hyi'Vaulio Passenger and Luggairo Lift is npurly completed, a cioecription of which, with tlio whole Block; will I* given in another Advertisement, At present *0 Proprietor would vtStsh to draw tho attention of the public to' tho almoat insur mountable obstaclC.l sn Hotel like ORAM'S (or iv proportion much lai^er houses) have to over come if lt is to be success!*-! in oyery respect and become established and g(on the confidence of its patrons. In the largo cities of the world howo?tnnd unforU.'Mitt' it iB we find Promotera erooaag colossal odlf scs with their gorgeous appoint ments and costly conveniences, surpassing iv magnificence fnr kingly palaces and i.rlsi'.'al oplbpdour,- iks wondor and talk of travellers,' tV.b' pride and pleasure of their cities, comrtoncirig. their career on a road of fame, win. : riKht prospocts for falnro suc cess, so soon to reofflo tho pdailion of an unpay able con corn. And'wV is .thi&!' Not became the management is not goof: In- Great Britain hotels have some of tho beft and smartest tradesmen in the communities W supertnso them. In America the general bMiCf is Borne of the best commercial men thoy have arethose whorun theirHotois. OatlieContinent of Europe Hotclkeepers aurpass oven these for - precise management, thoir unlimited attentive nea«; and tho happy knack of supplying every little wa"t to their visitors. Again, thoso largo Hotels in their different countries have, too, tho ad vantage:, of liberal'Llcensing Laws.Thoy have night licenses, to receive visitor*?. Visitors can receivo their f'riehdd" iii Public Apartments every day in the week, lilght Or day. without having the quibble (If v/aritbd)- of a Licensing Act thrown in their faces. The Hotois are not compelled to light the streets of the City by night; the respective Corporationsdothat for t'hclr citizens. The police do not patrol its halls and passages; tho State have faith in their good managomont. But, with all this in Their favour-theeo stupendous structures, rearing their heads aloft in all tho powerful grandeur of well-to-do trading concerns, are but sorry investments after all. Again, Why is this ? Because they have not what j ORAM'S HOTEL Haa ahvaW endeavoured to cultivate, a good LOCAL TRAD K. A Houso Hire ORAM'S is as much a necessity for OiWctasa of customers as tho othor. To the Local Public it is" a snarantoc the Wines, Spirits, Ales, &c, will bei.sound, good, amil cenuine, A proof of thia-Svo K-any oXra 1, supplied by PRAM for Brandies, Ac. as Medical Comfort", : Tho importance of ond plass of ORAM'S TRADE must mako tho good conduct of the dth'T part unquestionable. : Yet tfc* Proprietor is afraid this is but littlo considered b> s great many of the people. Lot it be assumed th'efi. If largo Family Hotels in tho older World, c.-:ist.'ng under such liberal licensing laws, having encouragements from , their respective GovornmenSi, do una them selves weighed down by their own enornioua i expenses .that they barely exist, whst a Btrugglo must it be then for hotels of tHe same claBS sa' horo in Auckland, with comparatively tho same o^ponses, governed by n.n arbitrary licensing law T72r.ch knows no distinction— lovellod up or down, whichever lt may bo cullod, to one class of Hotels, the proprietor of ORAM'S HOTEL cannot but think tho advantages nctasajn tho foregoing of these lines accorded to such. Ksmuy and Commercial Houbcs in the Old World shcrald bo given to the samo class ol Hotois In Now Zealand, especially when tho Management is willing to pay for thoßO advantages. | Tho anxloty.hard work.longhours.and heavy responslbity, bound up as thoyarfl in tho good management of such costly eßlublishmenta, have but little sympathy and no enoourageiiient shown then* within or outsido of their own sphere. Aa a rule, acting up to and abiding by the laws whicfi govern them, houses like Oram's Hotel has a strong fight to make, and but a poor show against tho tnekiry of a dobauohed trade. Regardless, too, of ths bonoflt they lire to the Towns (indeed, s much greater benefit to tho Towns tasn to tho Proprietors), and mindful of ihoir drgDfty, Hotels like Oram's must lay a niotionloßß maos at the feet of party Bpirit, and realiso party spirit to govern them. To this class of the trade, thon, such has been the retrospect of its existence. And in conclusion it ia tho earnest wish that tbo Proprietor of ORAM'S HOTEL shall sonic day realise tho fact this clasß of trade will live down the petty annoyuncos and all unchari tablenoss it is continunlly liable to. and will rise abovo tho obstacles which surround it. and tho arbitrary power which tends to debase it, and that this most dillieult trade shall at no distant timo bo pointed orit wllh respoct as one of tho principal amongst bo many qommoroial enterprises which prop tho financial ayßtems ot this world, and that tbo Proprietor of OKAM'S HOTEL, endeavouring to givo every satisfaction, which laya In Mb power, shall realise the continuod and ever increasing support in tho future which has so liberally beon accorded to him in tho past, is tho earnest wish of yours, Ladies and Gontlomen, obodient sorvant, TTUBERT ARAM, PROPRIETOR.
