The box plan is at the Bristol and a crowded house is oxpectcd to greet the society when the curtain rises. . THE SCARLET TROUBADOURS. • Lovers of tho costume comedy form of entertainment will be pleased to hear that tho "Scarlet Troubadours" are to pay an other visit to Wellington after a lapse of several years. No better combination ever travelled under the banner of Mr. Edward Brauscombo, and though tho lapiro of time has of course brought changes in the company, it is said to still retain all tho old qualities which made it so popular. Tho "Scarlet Troubadours" will open a.season at the Town Hall Concert Chamber on Wednesday next, and expect to receive the same warm welcome as they were always given of yore. Further particulars will be notified later, and meanwhile it Bhonld bo noted, that the box plan will open at the Bristol on Monday morning. PIANO RECITAL. ' An opportunity will be afforded this evening of- hearing o, younj pianist, horn, reared, and trained in Wellington. Thoee mralinecl to judge who have li-ard Miss I'isher state that she is a Quite exceptionally gifted pianist, and some go so far as to say she is a genius, possessing, already to hand as it were, dualities that are found only in players who have become l'cnowuod, only after lone vears of study and hard work. Miss Fisher will play in the Concert Chamber, and her programme is an exceptionally heavy one, oven for soloists of ripe experience. \
