"THE WANDERERS."

Monday evening will witness th^ opening performance in Blenheim ci "The Wanderers" Musical Coitfe-dy Costume Company, and as much interest is being «ivinced over the advent of this talented company a crowded house is assured. * Seats can bo reserved at Holoroft'si; music depot, where the plan is rapidly idling. The Dominion, in a notice at tho company, says:—"Every scat m the concert room of the Town Hall was filled last evening with patrons of 'The Wanderers,' a musical v co^ tume company, which opened here On Saturday evening. The large audience was highly appreciative throughout, demanding encores of almost ail the performers. There was a touch of unconventionality about the entertainment that soon brought artistsand audience into happy touch with one another. 'It 'is; a wholesome class of entertainment that grows on a public. Mr Leslie Holmes , submitted a quantity of "unmitigated nonsense," and the more he submitted the mo re, tho audience seemed to want. Mr Holmes might safely wager thnt in one or other of < bis numerous ways he could make any person in an audience laugh. Misa Madeline Forne, a mezzo-soprano, was in decidedly better voice than when first heard; and Miss Ruby j Guest played a delightful banjo ditty, 'Darkies' Jubilee, 3 that pleased j everybody, and induced them to die-1 mand more. A rather remarkable development of the falsetto voice is exhibited by Mr George Winstaley, whose turn in consequence has a decided drollnoss about ft. The entertainment is clever, wholesome, bright, and diversified, and calculated to please everyone. The evening train to Picton on Monday will be delayed till 10.45 p.m.
