The announcement tbat the talented Faust Family wero to re-appear ia Wanga nui had tbe effect of bringing together a large and most oathuoiftstio audience at the Drill Hall laat evening. A number of fresh itoms wore introduced in addition to the ontortniniuE programme submitted here on a previous occasion, tho mojt noteworthy of which was a wonderful exhibition of gun spinning and twirling by "Abojaleb,'' ft Turkish soldier, who handled riJlos aa though they wore mere walking stiokr, the cleror feato of tho fino-looking muscular Turk being enthusiastically rectirad. Somo very oicelloat " Wliila Marblo Sratuary" was eihibitsd by tho aid of Mr Battle's Hmo light, the graceful posing of the per formers also mooting wi;h frequent ap plause. The marvellous Eioley tumbling foot t» Tod, Eugenfe, Itubv, and Kroddy Faust WBB received with loud and prolonged anolamations, and justly to, as no inoh clever acrobatic performauces have ever been equalled, much leas surpassed, in Wanganui by any company under canvass or otherwise. Ihe escentrto song* and dancoj and comicalities fairly convuUdd tbe ' audience, and the marvellous dextority of Ted and Sugene on the violin was tho tuemo of general acJmirition, The tno latter alto fairly brought down the house m "Wagner out Wagnered," and tho large audiesoa went home in thorough good humor aftor witnessing tbo side-splitting fiwco " Nicholas Uieileby's Schooldays," ouo and all voting the performance " one of tbe best shows ever been here." To-night tbe performance will be re peated, irhon no doubt another large audience will greet the talented performers.
