BESSES 0’ TH’ BARN BAND.

Messrs J. and N. Tait, the well- ( known conceit entrepreneurs, have richly reaped the reward of their | plucky enterprise in bringing 30 mem- j hers of the Besses o' th Bam Band 1 on an extended tour of Aus- j tralasia, and this afternon and i to-night at His Majesty’s Theatre there is no doubt that an appreciative public will, as elsewhere, attend in record numbers to hear these skilled players in their grand inaugural pro- t gramme. The items for tonight’s programme are : —“Zen- j la ud i a March,” specially com-, posed by tlie conductor, Mr. Alex, j Owen, in honor of the Besses visit to ; New • Zealand ; “Poet and Pea-: said,” overture (Suppe) ; 'cornetLsolo, j “Cleopatra” (Lemarc), by Mr. T. G. j Moore ; “Tannhausor” selection (Wag- , ner); “Blue Danube Waltz” (Strauss) trombone solo, “The Death ol'Nelson” (Bralim), by Mr. Tom Bowling; “Pirates of Penzance” (Sullivan); and “Fantasia on English Airs.” The Besses will give as one of the encores the beautiful hymn, “Lead Kindly Light.” The booking has been heavy, but good seats are still available at Miller’s, where fresh rows of stalls may be reserved and 3s day sale tickets purchased. ! The doors will be oponed early to save any unnecessary crushing, which may be obviated by booking seats during the day. j
