They are advertised to appear at Ngariiawaina, on Thursday, Bth ; Hamilton, Friday, 9th ; and Cambridge, Saturday, 10th, and from tho favourable impression they left on their last visit, we feel sure they will have bumper houses. One highiy commendable feature of their entertainments is their consistency, their merit being as great when' given in a small community as when presented to the largest of cit.y audiences. Some travelling companies are in the habit of relaxing their elforts in the smaller places they visit, but the Payne family are in this respect a most creditable exception.

Since they were here the family have added bollringing to their many other accomplishments, and it will sullice to say that they have brought it to the same degree of excellence as their other performances.
