Miss Hayward (Hntt) intends leaving for Christchurch on Thursday. Miss Cameron (Kahvarra) leaves for the Watrarapa at tho end of the week. Mrs. Arthur Goro is expected to return to Hawke's Bay from England very lyOwing to the stormy weather on Saturday the'formal opening of the Forryside Croquet Club had to l>e abandoned. On Momlny, however, the greens were in very good order, and a number of members took advantage, of the opportunity to play. Croquet will now go on as usual, nnd as some trophies have nlreaily been presented to the club, a'very successful Beason is anticipated. In the course of an interview (already published in The Dcuinriox), before the departure of the company for Christchurch, Miss Brayton said that the music for "Anthony and Cleopatra" had but just arrived, and was, she thought, very pretty. It was by tho eaino composer as that of the "Kismet" music, and when one remembers how peculiarly haunting that was and how full of tho subtle suggestions of the East, something of an equally descriptive nature might reasonably be looked for in this, his later, composition. That we ■ have no possible chance of seeing "Anthony and Cleopatra" performed by this company in New Zealand is our most deplorable loss.

At the entertainment organised at Castlecliff last week by the Girl Peaco Scouts, the. names of Miss Elsie May, and Miss Alice Brown, who played the overture in tho first part of the programme, were omitted. In the second part of tho programme the overture was played by the Misses Phyllis and Myrtle Ellis. Master T.
