OUR NAVY. the n Navv r r y nfternoon the ladies of tiio Na\ y League were asked on board the training slup Amokura, to see for drink 'a, 3 °* du V. and to dunk a cup of tea with Captain Hooper and Mrs Hooper. It was a most interesting visit. The boys at vork and play were watched by the inspected" f , .quarters inspected. Ihe lade slung a hamwhich ated the easo with leen in i arg6 - n - Umber ° f bo y ß ™" d sleep in a minimum space. . Gunn ill,- too was gone through for the ladies edification, and finally much mirth was evoked by an obstacle race, >tii a I its varied ups and downs and fam lil C r These S » mo b °y ß «» familiar figures in our streets, always neat and trim, and well behaved.
T ■ CLAUDIAN. tin tno f 1 ' S /r Com P an y is on tip toe for flight, after a • phenomena] season. This past week two nights were taken up with Claudian. Now this play has been a failure in other places, and yet here it waß played to an overflowing audience, and punctuated With more applause than was given to "The Prisoner of Zenda." ihere was even insistent demand for an encore of the earthquake. It perhaps / appealed strongly to Wellington people. I hear this play is not to be staged again in New Zealand. Certainly Knight makes a most impressive Roman potentate, and is intensely picturesque in his magnificent robes, but the theme is I,o° morbid to suit most play-goers' tastes. Among the Company is Miss Martin, an Adelaide girl, who has only been about . four months acting. She is a wonderful pianiste, and has been thq chief feature of interest at several social functions. The next attraction r„t the Opera House is the Vaudeville Company, and we are promised such a combination as has never been seen here before.
