THE SIKHS. The N.Z, Herald thus refers to the company who willappearin the Public Hall, Foxton, to-morrow evening:— The Sikhs Punjab Indian Troupe gave a novel and interesting entertainment in the Federal Hall. The Indian artists created no little enthusiasm by their agility and deftness in the performance of many and varied feats of arms, jugglery, and athletic exercises. Amougst these were given skilful and neat expositions of long pole spinning, stick combats, heavy and light sword exercises, Indian gun drills etc. Ah attractive item was the fire spinning act by Ganda Singh, this eliciting hearty applause. Laughter was created by the comic fight to a finish, which concluded the programme. The Indian artists in all their exhibitions proved themselves great adepts, and their performance was entirely successful. Interludes were provided by some European artists, and Miss Agnes Myllie presided at the plan.
