ABBOTT'S OPERA HOUSE.

Opening of the Buffalo Mm

strels

It ia very seldom indeed that we have wit nessed within the four walls of Abbott's Opera House a larger assemblage than that which was present last evening to witness the opening performance of Hugo's Buffalo Minstrels. Every part of tho_ building was crowded, and even standing room was at a premium. The programme took exceedingly well, and tho minstrels made a very good impression, and at the same time struck the keynote of a successful season. In the first part of the entertain ment, the stage was fitted up to represent tho deck of the steamship Buffalo, the prin cipals of the company being seated on the deck. In the background was a properly fitted bridge, with several fair sailors at the wheel, while others were seated in the shrouds on either side of the vessel. The programme was a lengthy one, and every item was encored, while in some instances a second repetition of the song was not only de manded but complied with. The chair performance was tho most pleasing portion of the entertainment. Messrs.' Charles and Will Hugo were the corner men,. and Miss I'riscilla Verne occupied her old position of interlocutress. The programme opened with an introduc tory overture by the minstrels, and Miss Lillie Warren, who is the. possessor of a charming voice, followed ■ with the lullaby song " Papa's Baby Boy," which was very nicely sung. Mr Will, Hugo's comic re frain " Children, Gome Along," was well received, while Mr Alf Santloy gave .a capital rendition of the' ballad "The Old Rustic Bridge." Mr Paddy Maher appeared in a comic song and dance, and was more successful with his feeb than with his voice. Mr Walter Keen contributed a good nautical song, and Mr Charles Hugo made a decided hit with his comic song, " Rasp berry Tart," which was twice repeated.' Miss Jessie Cleveland, who has a pleasing and powerful voice, sang the waltz song "Come Buy My Flowers," very accept ably. The first part concluded with a laughable burlesque of a Salvationist pro cession. The second part comprised dances songs and* sketches, and the best items were Miss Verne's in her lightening change song 3; Charles' Hugo in his negro funnyisms, Miss Warren's character song, and her admirable duet with Miss Cleve land, " In the Dusk of Twilight," and Mi- Keen's local song in which reference is made to Sir Julius Vogel, Sir George Grey, and Aitken Connell. The performance concluded with the farce of the Midnight Intruder. New programmes are announced to follow, and with the prices at 2s and Is and 6d the management are likely to have good houses throughout the season.

AIR THOMSONS DEPARTURE.

Presentation to Him by the

Police Force

'The popularity of Mr Superintendent Thomson with his. subordinates,is pro bably the best evidence of that gentleman's qualities as an officer and a gentleman. Some week ago, when it became definitely known that Mr Thomson's removal had been decided, on, the members of the force took in' hand the getting up of a valedictory testimonial amongst them selves. As the rules, of the .service preclude such presentation, the men got over the difficulty; by deciding that Mrs Thomson should be the recipient of their gift. A large sum of money was collected in two or three days,, and a solid silver tea and cofi'ee service, valued at sixty guineas, has been purchased. The pre sentation is suitably inscribed, and .will form a pleasing memento to Mrs Thomson and her family of the'respect in which her worthy husband is held by the men he has had the honour for so. may years to com, mand. This feeling of esteem is heartily reciprocated by Mr Thomson, who has given expression to his feelings in the following official ■-'' District Order ■:—" The member^ of the force 'serving within the Auckland police district are hereby notified that on and after this date the command of above district will be transferred ;£6. Inspector Shearman (late of Wellington), between whom and Inspector Thomson an exchange of districts has been effected. Inspector Thomson takes this opportunity of wishing a cordial 'good-bye' to the members of the force hitherto serving under' his command (the majority of them for many years), but his sincere regret, at part ing.with them is much lessened,' by"the're flection that ,he is to be relieved of hik charge by an officer of the acknowledged experience and high character of Mr, Shear; man, who is succeeding" to the commaiid!of a body of men of whom any officer might feel proud, and who, by their efficiency and respectability, are a credit to themselves and to the Department: to-whiph^-they belong." ; i
