Colored Opera Troupe.— We trust that this clever company, which has for so long delighted our citizens with an ever-changing and amusing series of comic entertainments, will obtain a bumper house at their final entertainment, in evidence of their appreciation bv our Auckland citizens. Individually the benefit of each member of the corps has been well supported. It is to be hoped that now the public will testify their approbation by a general muster at the farewell exhibition which takes place to-night.
