i Mr Stewart (Dunedin) said he did | After Mr Alien Doone's farewell appearance in "Barry of Ballvmore" in Melbourne, a large crowd of admirers i waited outside the Princess 's Theatre in order to catch another glimpse of the ! actor. AVoinen formed the greater part [ of the crowd, but there was a number of : men as well. When Mr Doone appear- ! Ed he was greeted bv a rapturous cheer, i and was obliged to run the gauntlet of | many handshakes and slaps on his back, i When he eventually freed himself from | his admirers, he discovered that his ; gold watch, chain, and tie clasp, as well |as a gold badge which was presented to him by the Queen of Honolulu, and on which was emblazoned the Hawaiian coat of amis, had disappeared. The lot is valued at £9O. Mr Doone has come to the conclusion that such "semis off" are not altogether an unmixed blessing."
