The enhanced price of fuel with which we have had to contend since Sep- tember last, has of course considerably increased the cost of burning, and towards the end of the year we experienced great difficulties in finding sultable coal. These difficulties have since been overcome and we have been able to provide for the gre fer part of our requirements for the next rix months at a favourable price.

The Landon Lyric Company last night, gave their own particular version of Dion Bouclesall's beautiful Irish drama Arrah Na Pogne to whit, considering counter attractions, was a fairly large audience. This is always a popular play sed as it undoubtedly was last night, stil! its wonder-O fally rich dialogue so plainly camice the impress of genics through it, that its beauties cannot be altogether killed nor the original merits of the plece quite effaced. The staging was woefully wrong and the acting, with one or two exceptions, However, the majority of the audience had so wretchedly bad as not to meritseriouscriiiciam. fa apparently followed Lawrence Sterne's advice as to the wisdom of taking half of the fun, to all cirena performances, and being in the best of humour, were pleased to smile and applaud upon every possible occasion. Quite right too funerals may sometimes be decorously enlivened, Mr. J. H. Nann had an excellent chance last evening of displaying his desmeile power as Shoun-The-Port. He has just the countenance, brogue, bright and genera! appearance of the typical Irishman. His make-up, too, was perfect and was 'as neatly an example of the real Saw as it is possible to conceive.. Mr. Nann's rich baritone voice leat an added richosis to Boucicault's wonderfully pathetic and foot- mental lines in "The Prison Cell and Court Room scenes, and his acting was so akin to the text that many of his hearers were deeply affected. It is always difficult to gauge the correct vein in which to play the part of the manly, yet tender Irishman, soft of heart, yet courageous as a lion, and Mr. Nunn is to be congratulated upon bis successful performance Mia Marie Brian gave Arrah-Na-Poga pretty quaint and picturesque dress and expres
siveness, which appealed to the audience. She was best in the lighter and more playful scenes. Miss Brian is peculiarly fitted for ingenu parts and should be set for no’others. It would not be fair to the good old name of McCoul, to admit that J. Falton Millar was a fiulag repre- sentative of the family, in his conception of Beamish McCoul. He was cold, distant and wooden, where he should have been passionate, Irishman. In an Irish muscam he would be warm and tender. He was only an imitation regarded as a rare curiosity-dressed as 7he
