San Francisco . Minstrels.—This successful company returned to Nelson by tho Airedale, and gave an entertainment on Wednesday evening, at the Odd Fellows' Hall, which was well attended and generally appreciated. The blending of voices in the choruses was particularly noticeable, while the judicious change of the programme every evening gives a freshness that will not easily satiate an every evening attendant. They advertise for three successive nights'performances; we therefore recommend all those who would partake of one of the most genuine entertainments that has appeared in Nelson for a long time past to do so as early as possible.
Government Prizes.—The prizes offered by the General Government for rifle shooting have been awarded in the following manner: — Ist. £140.—Second-Lieut. William Brighton, Rutland Company, Auckland Rifle Volunteers, 22 points. 2nd, Private Joseph Kells, Wanganui Militia, 21 points. 3rd, £40.—Captain William Mason, Auckland Militia, 20 points. 4th, £30.—Private Joseph Summerville, No. 1 Company Wanganui Rifle Volunteers, 19 points. sth, £20.—Ensign Alexander M'Gregor, No. 4 Company Wanganui Rifles, 19 points. 6th, £6.—Sergeant John R.
