THE PAYNE FAMILY.
Referring to tbe Payne Family, which appears in the Masterton Theatre Royal on Thursday evening nest, the Castlemaine Mail says : "We have sat out, in different colonial cities, whole seasons of Italian, English, and comic opera ; wo have listened to Mdme. De Murska, Amy Sherwin, and the Carandinas, Simonsens, and other popular songsters of the day ; we have sat below Remenyi, the famous violinist, listened to equally famous pianists, attended the principal organ recitals south of the line, and fairly revelled in the music of Cowan's Exhibition orchestra and chorus ; we have done all this, and more in the same line, but wo never remember ■pending a more pleasant musical evening than that passed with the Payne's. We never remember seeing an audience so reluctant to leave as was this one. When the last number had been sung, the occupants of the hall sat for a moment or so before making a more, in the hope that it was not really 1 all over.' "
