AMUSEMENTS.

''TWO LITTLE VAGABONDS. -, The last night of '-'Two Little Vagabonds" is announced for this evening, and for the play will be substituted tomorrow one by W. P. Sheen and F. S. Jennings called "Why Woman Sins." In I this play Mr. Charles Holloway makes j his reappearance before Auckland play- ■ goers after an absence of eleven years. . The retiring play has had a very sue- , ces&ful run, the house being crowded i ■ nearly every night, and last night therti ] j was quite a full house, and the play is j withdrawn long before its popularity has i begun to wane. If the new play is as excellent as "The Two Little " Vaga- ! bonds." Mr. Holloway should be able to count upon another successful season; but it will be hard to beat thepopularity and the excellence of this charming j ■ play, -which is staged for the last time lat His Majestyjs to-night. !
