Last night all the sitting room in the downstairs portion of the House wa g occupied, while the dress circle waa also well patronised. A new programme con* taining several featurea waa presented' In the Grab parb the majority of the items were encored, those of Misses Amy Rowe, Nellie Marshall, the Mayfield sisters, and Messrs Bent, Delohery and Herberte being especially well received; The Australian team, Mesara Delohery, Craydon and Holland, introduced a new Irish net, entitled " McGinty's Troubles." This caused 'great amusement, the business introduced by the performers being clever. Mr T.
