"The Druids' anniversary social and 'dance was held last evening in the Assembly Rooms, and passed- off .successfully. Fully 60 couples graced the floor, 'which was in excellent condition, for dancing. -The music was supplied by Mrs Lockett in" her usual artistic style. A number of songs and recitations were rendered by Bros:, Halligsn, Cuthbert*. son, A. McGonagle, and others. The refreshments were under the cartful supervision of Mr James Hodson. Bros. G. LawsOn and A. Walworth acted as Ms.C., and a thoroughly enjoyable evening resulted.

Thus the Auckland Observer: — 'Terry, the Human Frog," is pretty much the talk of the town. He was talked about before he came, and the result was a packed house at the City .Hall on Monday night to see him. He is one of the greatest wonders we have had here. The stage is transformed into a sort of leafy bower, with a stag-nant-looking pool at hand, and after the twittering of a bird in a tree cloße by is heard, Ferry, made up as a frojr and in orthodox attitude, bob* up with a croak. Then he hops about in a way that puts in the fsnado the teal frog, and goes through a "number of feats on sticks and things that are simply mar, vellous. He seems to be boneless, and more like a piece of mechanism than human muscle. The. ,Wanganui season commences at the Opera House on the I7tn.
