The Nelson Evening Mail. MONDAY, JANUARY 15, 1877.

Public attention ' is likely tq be be pretty evenly divided to^nighfc between Messrs'.!" Cuds and Sharp's meeting at the Provincial Hall, commencing at eight o'clock, the Calcutta Sweeps on, the forthcoming, boat races, which will be held at M'Gee/s Hotel, and' the performance of the Star Bijbu.Troupe at.the , - Masonic Hall. ' ' ' There, ia noti often such a n choice of entertainments in Nelson. „V' „. : . J '''There is a considerable aniouiit of talk' about the Calico Ball'to be given on night, when; such aTgathering is looked for a3 is^riot bf ten seen in Nelson.' 1 -^ „ . , We remind our: readers of, thg concert to \ jbe^ given at, the Provincial Hal L.to-morrow "night,; in aid of the funds of the 1 RowingClub.- A good deal ;of trouble has been takan in getting it up, and from whai wecanlearn "the promoters are likely to be rewarded for their pains by a bumper house." At thV'Resideht'-Maeistrate'£' Court this |morning the solitary case heard was that of Huuter v. Wolfe* tOTeeover £80;; being eight months renf it '£Ta~a"mouth;fortiSfe and be- : cupation of certain land at Manila. . r Mr Acton Adams appeared for. the plaintiff, 'and Mr Fell for the defended!;. After bearing th£ evidence, his Worship reserved judgment. We learn by, telegraph thafr, the 'following nominations have been received foe,: the ,Cup;r-Hercuies, Nero, Banjker^Lara, Strongbbw," Lady Mary,'Litlipee,,Tom Fiinn, Amanda, Doncaster, and JPlenheim/ ..•. Farmers, are now, busily engaged in harvesting operations,' and already rainy of the ' homesteads in the Waimeas ard adorned with stacksof.com, in some cases 'exceedingly well and trim,ly; built. The crops.are said to be on the whole above the average, especially in Waituea West, where on some of the farms • the- barley in particular promises a, yerv heavy yield. ' :• -• A-:. •.':'&' t Fuomju telegram which appears elsewhere. it would seem that the Alt England!- Eleven are not to visit Nelsoji. Under all the circumstances, perhaps it is just as well that it , . should be so. '- * •■■'-. ' , A new organ has been recently imported . into Wellington for St. Paul's Church, and a : short time ago we'/iverjetoid by.thie Post'hofi/ it was to be placed in position by a" professional builder, who was to go lip from Dunedin for the purpose, and not by amateurs, as , was the case in Nelson, where by accident the instrument was put together nearly right. The improved style in which these things are done in Wellington is now shown by the fact that the chamber specially erected for the organ has been made too small, and that part of the roof must be cut away be- . fore the instrument caii be fitted in. Why did they not send for some, amateurs from Nelson, so that everything might have been., done at least nearly right. ■ Madame Fritz Karl's Star Troupe are to give a . series of entertainments m Nelson commencing this evening ; 'at the Masonic Hall. The company comprises Miss Marion Lyston, who is said to be an excellent vocalist; singing both serious and comic' songs equally well, Mr Charles Keeley, a most amusing comic actor, Mr Shipp the well known champion clog and pedestal dancer, and Herr Schott, who plays several instruments with great ability. His solos on the oboe are said to be marvels of taste and artistic skill, and . we are told that he astonishes all who have heard his performances on the " Liguridzolosophone." If the sounds he extracts from this mysterious instrument are anything like those produced by an attempt to pronounce its name, it is not to be wondered at if people are astonished by the player's performances on it.; The entertainment concludes with' a laughable farce acted by Messrs Shipp and Keejey.
