Its previous lour of about June last year was one long series of memorable triumphs, which have been repeated throughout the length and breadth of Australia. The return of this splendid organisation, inaugurated at luvercar ; gill on March 20tli last, with a new play and a specially-augmented company, has proved, if possible, more successful. Thus far Inven argill, Dunedin, Tiniaru, Christeliureh, Auckland, C'-.l'crne, etc., have been visited and reci 1 • !i-ive been broken all along the line.
