PROFESSOR HASELMAYER. Professor Haselmayer performed at Waitara last night, to a largar audience than has on any previous occasion assembled there to see an entertainment. At Hawera and Patea the halls were crowded on each occasion that he performed ; and this evening, when he appears at the O-ld Fellows' Hall, we expect to see ft crammed house. The halls in the country districts not being large enough, the Professor was unable to exhibit «• Psycho," but he will produce this wonderful automaton tonight. As the hall is likely to be crowded, we would recommend ail who wish to obtain the best positions to reserve their seats beforehand.
