ADA DELROY COMPANY.

This company had another full house last night, and gave a fine entertainment, which was heartly applauded throughout. Miss Ada Delroy’s extraordinary portrayal of the mysterious and beautiful “She” as drawn by Eider Haggard in his story in South Africa, was in itself sufficient to attract and to satisfy. It was graceful to a degree, and on this occasion the effect enhanced by the every varying colored lights that were kept playing round the flowing robes of the talented exponent of graceful movement. The other portions of the entertainment were quite equal to those on the opening nights. The Mahatma was not so successful as some might desire, but the very fact of such failure at times is the best evidence that there is more in the phenomenon than some may suppose, If second sight thought reading has an existence—and many scientific men declare that it has—then its powers are as yet indifferently understood, and therefore at times go astray. If it was but a clever “fake” precautions could and would be taken to ensure absolute correctness on every occasion. To-night the company appear for the last time at Greymouth, when a change of programme will be made.

To-night will,be the first appearance of Och-a-Mah, the Ashanti dwarf. This little fellow stands only seven inches high, sings in two distinct voices at one time, plays the violin with his toes, and will dance an Ashanti war dance.
