ENTERTAINMENT AT THE MASONIC HALL.

The comedy of "Our Boys" was re peated last evening, and although the attendance was not so numerous as on its first presentation, the hall was well filled in every part, the front seats in particular being well patronised. As we gave a somewhat lengthy notice of the piece and its cast in our issue of yesterday, it is unnecessary for us to more than mention that, amongst last night's audience, we noticed many who hail been present on opening night, and, judging from the applause exhibited, the piece had lost none of its attractiveness by being witnessed a second time. One little incident occurred during the evening which caused no small amusement. In the scene where Talbot Champneys, in the exuberance of his desire to prove his devotion to his Lady love, makes ineffectual efforts to stand upon liis head, the struggles caused the disarrangement of his stage wig, and the adroitness with which Mrs. Lingard came to the rescue, and improvised a screen for its re-adjustment with her fan, was loudly applauded. This evening there will be an entire change of programme, the entertainment commencing with to be followed by " Lingard's Sketches," amongst which he will personate the Prince of Wales and Sir Julnis Vogel; the whole concluding with '' Peter hite, in "which Miss Colville and the Lingards will appear.
