THE WAXWORKS.
That Sir John Fuller knows how to cater successfully to the public taste in amusements is proved by the large crowd that filled the Agricultural Hall on Saturday night. Although this is the tenth week of the waxworks the attendance shows no sign of falling off. The programme opened with Professor Powell's Punch and Judy show, after which a capital vaudeville concert was gone through Mr Will Watkins having to appear again and again. The St. George combination appeared, Mr Horace St. George, Miss St. George, and Mr Wally Morton being highly successful in their dancing monologue, musical sketches, etc! They quite hit the popular taste. Messrs John Fuller, J. Flora, Howard Chambers, J. E. Petherick, Will Silvane. Miss Hettie Warden, and Miss May Fuller also appeared with great success. The majority of the company appeared in 'Irish Justice,' which with Mr Watkins as judge created no end of merriment. The waxworks will be opened daily at 2.30 and 7 till further notice. To-night there will be a mouth-organ competition, on Wednesday a waltzing competition and on Friday an elocutionary contest. Tlie crystal maze still draws crowds.
