Much amusement was caused in the Opera House, Wellington, last night by the unconcerned and quite-at-home air of some domestic poultry which gravely disported itself in the farm yard scene of the first act of La Mascotte.

In La Mascotte, new being performed at the Opera House, Wellington, the Duke of Bombino, one of the characters pourtrayed, drops himself into a chair which, not being strong, suddenly collapses.

Whereupon Rocco, another actor in the opera, scathingly comments—"You ought both to be ashamed of yourselves !"
