MEETINGS, ENTERTAINMENTS, &c.

Mr Fuller's waxworks and variety enter* Uinment seems most thoroughly to have caught on here with the public Last night every part of the Oddfellows' Hall was thronged to excess. In the variety entertainment, Mr Will Watkins, the St. Georges, Mr Silvan and Miss Jeannie Johnston all received due appreciation from the audience. Some very funny incidents, occur during the evening at the waxworks. Just by the entrance is the figure of a lady apparently gazing with much interest at the Jubilee Plunger and Chang. On Monday evening a lady visitor ranged up alongside what she thought was another visitor and remarked upon the excellence of the figures. Receiving no answer she looked at thejady with some degree of hauteur and left the place utterly oblivious of the lact that she had been endeavouring to enter into conversation with a wax figure. Tlie exhibition will bo agtin open this evening. The repetition last night, at the Theatre Royal, by the members of the Sydenham Working Men's Club Amateur Operatic Society of " Lea Cloches de CorneviUe " drew a good house. The opera will be given to-night. .So complete has been tho success which has attended the re-opening of the Snraner Library that the building is now found much too email. The number of books has been largely added to, and the subscribers' list is in so healthy a condition that an enltrjtement of the building is* contemplated. A handsome offer has been receive d by the Committee from some professional musical talent to give a concert in aid of the enlargement fund, which hat been accepted with many thanks.
