* Accounts of the football matches between Hawke's Bay and -Wellington, whioh was played on Saturday last and resulted in a " draw, and. between Hawke's Bay and Manawatu, which was played yesterday and resulted in an easy win for the Hawke's Bayites, will be found on the ? fourth page to-day. On Saturday night the Lynch Family of - Bellringers opened their farewell season in Napier to a moderate house, and last night f repeated the opening programme to a good downstairs audience. The performances on the bells can only be described as wonderful, and as the specialty of the companyhas everywhere throughout the world commanded the admiration of all who have heard the famous family. The variations on the bells are- very pleasing, comprising duets, quartettes, performances on the musical glasses and clock bells, item after item being warmly received. There is no ■ lack of variety in the entertainment stepdaneing, trios, sentimental and comic singing, and a farce making up a very diversified programme. Mr P. Brown has a clear and 3 powerful voice which is heard to great advantage,, while his enunciation is perfect, . and his chest notes are a treat to listen to. Mr Parlatto with his comicalities is an immense; favorite with the audience, and as a matter of course is encored whenever he appears. The farce, though of very slight ! materials, serves to produce much hearty laughter, and sends the audience home in capital spirits. To-night an entirely fresh programme will be produced, and if the weather should only be at all favorable, the company are.sure to have,good houses for the remainder of their short season, which is only what they deserve. Notwithstanding that local horses won all the races yesterday, and the three placed animals in the big event were locally owned, not a single local tipster selected either the winner of the Bracelet or Steeplechase, and outsiders wero equally far out, with the exception of the Napier correspondent of the Canterbury Times, who placed Greenbird first for the Bracelet, with Warama : second, the only two horses he named. . St. John's choir on Sunday evening mustered so few members that only' one side was occupied by them.
