THE REEDS.

The Messrs Reed brothers started for Cambridge -yesterday and; will perform to morrow night and Saturday m that township en route for Te Awamutu and Alelandra, returning to and ag ai a playing at Hamiltom. We can heartly commend their entertainment to the Cambridge public, and most especially to those possessed of a cultivated taste for music. I n Hamilton, there have been so many each-penny, so called musical and histrionic performances, objectionable m more ways than one," and scarcely m ability up to the standard of our own amateurs, that people j

fight shy of attending a performance of any kind. Now, however, that the^mßrit of tho performance is il^HowirHhe Me3srs Reeds' should ■tajc&j* bumper house when they appear ajjfain m Hamilton, which^ we !l6&r.n they will do on their* *fkm fromH&e frontier.
