Poverty Bay is not at all satisfied with Mr McDonald as its representative. It is not well (says the Gisborne Herald) for a representative to eet himself in direct opposition to a Ministry unless he is strong in his own powers and has a certain following. What Mr Ormond and others of his political calibre might do Mr McDonald may not attempt; for we do not suppose this gentloman considers himself at present of sufficient weight or influence to lead an Opposition or even to be any material support to one beyond the solitary vote it would be in hia power to second.

At the Theatre Eoyal last night the production of " Kobirison Crusoe " was riot attended with milch suri'cess. The sittetidaiioe was smalt, and this appeared to affect the company, who were at fault at times, and did not carry the pieoe through in their usual efficient manner. The Crusoe of Miss Lvdia Howarde is well-known in Napier. Miss Howarde dresses to perfection, and acts the part with a " go" and success we have never seen surpassed. As the pirate, Miss Nye was of course admirable, both her acting and vocalisation being excellent. Mr Wisher ■, ac the reduced friend of Crusoe, displayed considerable humour, and sang several good comic songs with great effect. As the ihtelligferit nigger,, who "has a knowledge of th§se things)" Mr £cswer was inimitable, his genuine fun, especially in the trial scene, creating continued laughter. Mdlle. Glorian made a charming Lenora, and Miss Maude Vincent acted with care and vigor. A number of well-known and popular airs were rendered by the oompany in capital style, and received due applause. The performance concluded with " The Water* men." To-night " Robinson Crusoe " will be repeated, and the performance will conclude with a slight comedy.
