Theatre, and, as Ihe .promoters have adopted the precaut on of disposiug of tickets beforehand, I have eveiy reason to believe the Concert will prore a financial success. On the same evening the general meeting of the shareholders in the Dairy Factory Co, takes place, in which considerable interest appears to be taken. The directors wi'l be in a position to lay a veiy satisfactory report before the meeting, as the buildiDg is just about completed. The rotary va% of 1200 galls, capacity, reached Auckland by the s.«. Australia last week, and mo*t of the interns! machinery can be placed in the factory within fourteen days { so the directors appear to have everything in good order. September 2nd, 18S5.
