Tho Second Night. » The second performance of "Tho Mothcrleys' Luck" took place in tho Opera House last evening, and, as is frequently the ease with the second night, went with far more swing and life in it than it did tho'previous evening. Amateurs as a rule never do themselves justice when they appear for the first timo before the public. There was a very good audience, and as on the previous evening the p;rforiuers met with much encouragement as they proceeded with the play. The dances weroi greatly admired, and this time a solo dance, performed by Miss Beryl Earle, who had been unable to appear the previous evening, brought the ballets of tho little wood sprites, the glow-worms, the moths, tho moonlight fairies, and tho stars to a climax. His Excellency the Governor, with Lady Islington, was present, her Excellency wearing a black velvet dress with diamond ornaments and a fillet of dark red roses on her hair. With them were Miss Stapleton-Cotton, in white satin and a white satin wrap, and Captain Shannon. EXPERIENCE V. DIPLOMAS.
