The programme presented was the same as the preceding evening, with tho exception that the Ray nor Brothers, who were, absent on Friday; made their re-appear-ance, and by way of demonstrating the high esteem in which these exceptionally clever and grotesque artides are held by the public, they were greeted with most enthusiastic applause, which lasted for several minutes. Every item on the programme was applauded, and demands for a repetition were frequent and undeniable. Before entering upon the exceedingly diverting dialogue entitled "I'm a Married Man Myself," to which some exception had been unaccountably taken hi a certain quarter, Mr Rickards camo before the audience and spoke as follows: " Ladies and Gentlemen,—l wish to call your attention to a, notice which appeared in the Evening Post respecting an entertainment played by 'Miss Leete and myself, entitled " I am a Married Man Myself," wherein the reporter states the piece to be low and vulgar,- and only .fit for a taproom. I have had the honor of playing the entertainment in London and all parts of England, as well as in Melbourne, Sydney, .Brisbane, Adelaide, Auckland, Thames, Gisborne, Napier, and Nelson, and the whole of the Press in each Wn have been unanimous in praising it. Tho Wellington Press and Times speak well of it, and I may tell you that I have been in the profession for 18 years, and during the whole of that time it has been my duty and pride while catering for tho public to keep my entertainments free from all vulgarity. Referring to the "taproom" portion of the notice, I may tell the reporter of the Post that neither Miss Leete nor myself have over entered a taproom, Of course I don't know anything about his "taproom"' experience, and if he has been brought up in one I feel very sorry for him. (Applause,) Now, ladies and gentlemon, I am about to play the .same sketch, in conjunction with Miss Leete, and I will give you my word I will play it exactly as I havo always played it, I want you to favor roe by listening to every word and watching my action, and judging for yourselves if there is anything low or vulgar in it, In conclusion, 1 think had there been anything low or vulgar, the audiences would have been the first to resent it, without waiting for this one individual of the Post to find it out." (Applause.) The piece was then played, and was very well recoived.. After its conclusion, Mr Rickards, on .coining before the curtain, was received with a hearty burst of applause, He .said, "Ladies and gentlemen,—l thank: you sincerely for the manner in/'(which you have received this piece,'' and by yoUf enthusiastic applause I conclude that you agree with-me that there is nothing' low or vulgar in it. 1 may say that while I have the honor of appearing before you I shall always give you entertainments clean and respectable." (Applause.) The. audience throughout were very enthusiastic. The season will be. brought to ,a close to night, when the -first programme, entitled " Bric-a-Brac," will be resuscitated, and is sure to attract a crowded house. The company may carry with them from Wellington the assurance that thoir entertainments have been immensely appreciated. by the amsuoment-loving community, and should they ever return, or any portion of them,; they may safely count upon a cordial Press. ....
