the evening, and the procession, after forming
in Hotel street, will probably march down Nun
anu street and along King street to the Palace
before making the usual tour of the city. The
line adopted for the procession will exclude some

in the programme, these being comparatively de-
serted after dark, and will be selected exclusively
from the livelier streets.
~ A theft was committed on the premises of
Mr.. Mark Robinson, on Thursday night. The
servant girl was awakened by a noise and dis
tinctly heard someone open the drawer of the
bureau in her room and remove something from
it. She was too frightened to cry ont at the
time, and before she could make up her mind to
give the alarm the thief WAS gone. Her watch
and chain had been stolen from the drawer in
question. TIL theft was evidently committed by
some one who was well acquainted with the
premises. 1t was too dark for the thief to be
identified.
sP A case of s~tabbing occurred in Smiths
Lane on Thursday night about ~half-past IL
o'clock. Several persons were in the house in
question at the time. One William Woolham
came and knocked at the door, and a man. whose
name is given as Jack Brown, went to the door
and appears to have Immediately assaulted
Woolham, first with his fists and then with a
knife. Whilst this fight was going Oh a native
named Jim Crow came up and took WOODLANDS
part, when Jack turned his attention to him and
stabbed him in the bowels. Whilst this work
was going on outside, those inside after looking
out of the window and seeing the row, got out
at a back window and ran away. The accounts
given of what happened are somewhat obscure,
but there can be little doubt that all three parties
to the row were very much intoxicated at the
time. The two wounded men went away to Jim
Crows room and lay down and went to sleep.
A police officer hearing some time after of the row
hunted them up, and seeing the state they were
in telephoned for DR.. Hutchinson, who dressed
the wounds, which were on the cheek and
fingers and had Grow taken to the Queens
Hospital. Crows wound in the abdomen is on
the right side, about an inch ana a half long and
rather deep, but it has not been ascertained
whether 1t has penetrated the en- trails or not. 1t
is situated from four to five inches above the
groin. The other wound is on the left side of
the face, extending from the chin about three
inches along the cheek and is only a superficial
wound. Up to 8 O'Clock this morning,

Portable, but it was then too early to form an
opinion as to whether the case will be n seri-
Gus one or not. The man Brown, who committed
this savage assault on men with whom he had
always been friendly before, is still at large.

their parts, and the gentlemen followed and SOD
the house was crowded. And everybody was-
more than satisfied. Our amateurs show a thor
ough professional ease and finish. Mr.. Godfrey
Browns "Toby Twinkle 4" cannot be surpassed,
as you do not recognize our worthy registrar, but
see before you a genuine impertinent waiter and
trickster. Our honOred Police Judge, Il. f.
Bickerton, as Jasper Plum, carried out in his
Interpretation the dignIfed pose, urbanity, and
clear delivery so well illustrated on the Bench.
Scarborough and Houldsworth, as the Plum
brothers, are both excellent. The young ladies
Misses Luce, Rhodes, and Parke, who, erewhile
in n popular Operetta contributed to the delight
of an audience, won additional laurels this
evening. The tasteful make up of Miss Parke
as Lady Valera, " was much admired Miss
Luce's Martha was a very correct impersOna-
ton under different situations. And Miss Rhodes
as Lady Leatherbridge - gave great evidence
of careful study of fine and correct taste, and
delighted all hearers with her pleasant toned
voice, and full and clear enunciation. The farce
of the Happy Man" followed, in which MIR.

Foxy Fun, the vizier; Mr.. Houldsworth, as Ski
Hi, an astrologer; Mr.. Swanzy, as Paddy Muir
ply; Miss Parke, as Ko-Ket; Miss Comfy and
Miss Purvis, as Sultanas, performed their parts
well, and thoroughly satisfied their audience.
Prof. Berger, aided by Mr.. Kessler, assisted adj
mirably with a piano accompaniment; and Mr..
Ed. Browne, the actor, rendered valuable service
in the get up and management of the perfor-
nance.
