SOUTH AFRICAN FUND ENTER- TAINMENT.

On Saturday night an entertainment was given at the Theatre Royal in aid of that South African Fund. The Theatre was packed, every available seat heing filled, many of the later arrivals and those who had not taken the precaution to book a seat in advance being obliged to stand. There were present His Excellency the.

The Theatre had been decorated for the evasion, the British tag and the cusses of St. George, St. Andrew and St. Patrick being everywhere in evidence: wherever one looked there was something symbolical of Britain and even the weather made an attempt to give as a whiff of the British climate so that everything was as it should have been for a patriotic enter

THE LEVEE.
This afternoon His Excellency the Governor, Sir Henry Blake, G.C.M.G., held levre at Governmen: House. The Band of the Roval. Welsh Fusillers, together with the Colours, were in attendance, on the lawn. There was a very large attendance of Naval and Military Officers, who caine in full uniform, and Volua- teers in Kharki. Amongst those present were Bishop Houre of the Establisliest Church, Bishop Piazzoli of of the Roman Church, Si Thomas Jackson, and members of the Legisla tive Council, the hearts of departments and many civilians of note in the Colony. RUGBY FOOTBALI.
IN AID OF THE SUQTIE AFRICAN VUN
ENGLAND 2 THE WORLD. Last Saturday on the Club ground at the Happy Valley, the Rugby players of the Calmy gave their help in the South African Fund and we should think that the football players, both Association and Rugby, had greatly assisted to augment this patriotic subscription. The arrange- ments last Saturday were identical with those of the previous occasion, except that the charge to the grand stands had been reduced by one half the attendance, lawwever, was not quite so large, neither stand being so well occupied as at the Association game. Per- haps the weather bad something to do with it, as the wind, blowing from off the harbour, was biuerly cold; there was no anin, however, and those who had great coats with them could view the match with comparative.comfort. His Excellency the Governor, accompanied by Mr. Hatch M., viewed the match from the Club's Grand Stand.
The game was very well, contested the English, with their national trafacity, opposing the much stronger team. As Wales, Scotland, and Ireland have some exceptionally fire players, it is not strange that England alone, should suffer defeat from the combined "World," I must he acknowledged that the delcat was not a severe one, and theganie reflected ciedu on both victors and vanquished.
