LEVY.

That the world-renowned cornet-player and his able company will receive to the full as enthusiastic a reception at Cambridge to-night as on two ocoasions they have met with in Hamilton, we have no dwbt, |or our Umtrid^e ffi^fc are

Mr Levy, we dee,'wilL give his magnificent piece of instrumentation, th& " Carnival de Venice," "perfo*-' ming on the comet what Paganin]. did on the vioUn to the wonder of his hearers ' of •ther days. Miss Pitts has a.jine aong in " Out on the ilock-j," which will BUit her powerful contralto voice. Mrs Levy's " Maid of Dundee," a touching and wellexecuted ballad, was a favorite when sang in Hamiltqn the first night of the company's appearance, and the response to the encore, which it is sure to command to-night will doubtless be a change to one of thoae charmingly-piquant aongs which Mrs Levy sings with ,sq much effect, such as "Bread, and Cheese, and Kisses," or " Five U 1 Clock in t£e Morning," Altogether* it is a very ait&,«tlve programme, and the Cambridge public will have an opportunity. v to-kight of hearing such music as haa*Jttever y,et fallen to Our lot ia Waikato $6 'listen^o before the arrival oi!

Twenty-Two of Auckland. — The forthcoming match— Ausira- ' lia v. Twenty-cwo of Auckland — is, we learn from the ' Herald,' attracting a good deal- of attention just now. The Australians are due here on, Tuesday to-day, and will be enabled to have a good day's rest before they ; oomme,nce the matoh on .Thursday, and thus will not be under the same disadvantage they were at Ohristchureh, at whioh place they had to start play immediately, or nearly so, after their arrival, and all of them wfce,, more or lees suffering f roin. the of their journey and recent matches.. The ToyttJßHip of Cambridge is as busy as ever. A large number of oar-" penters are working lung hours on the .various buildings in course of erection and so great is the demand for this kind, of labour that it is impossible to get any little extra job done either for love or money- . A shop is now being erected in Xhxke Street for Mr. E. Isaacs elegant clothing house, opposite the residence of Major Clare. The butcher's shop of Mr Araold has been raised and is now being enlarged. Several small co.tage'a are now going up in other parts of the . settlement, ana the completion of the i Presbyterian Church will be effected by the end of the week. This building ifl an elegant little structure, with ornamented spire. The workmanlike manner in which the contract has been carried out reflects grear credit on the conraotors Messrs Madigan and Miller. The same firm have nearly finished 'the new part of . the Masonic Hotel, which is a neat j building, helping to give a businesslike appearance to Duke Street. The Catholic . • Chapel is .rapidly. approaching completion ; «ndejr Br Mo4srs Simiifs anjt Co., who seem : to dosire'to give as great satisfaction, in j the erection A this building aa they did ' in that of the Public . Hall. Mr Jamea, who built the farmer's Club House, has nearly finished a commodious and elegant , house for Mr .Reynolds on his Pukekura . estate. How bu.sy the township is may j be gathered from the fact that every night all the sleeping accommodation of . the place (in spue of the four hotels, is ■ occupied, sofa and floor, " shakedowns " being constantly hx requisition.
