ENTERTAINMENTS, ETC.

-» .. — _ THE JUBILEE SINGERS. ■'• M'Adoo's Jubilee Singers gave a change of programme lust night to a fair attendance of the public. The choruses of the ooinpany were given with, that attention to detail which assures success to part singing, and "My Lord Delivered Daniel," "Jingle Bells," etc., were excellent specimens. The singing of the "Old Log Cabin in the Dell" by Eugene M'Adoo was also a fine piece of work, and received the applause it deserved from the audience. The other items on the programme were, all heartily appreciated. To-morrow there will be a matinee for children and those unable to attend the evening performances. Tomorrow night will be the last opportunity of hearing the company. ST. THOMAS'S REDOUBT. The Skating Rink was again well patronised last ievening, and visitors found much to amuse and entertain them a^ St. Thomas's Church Bazaar. Good busi : ness was reported at the various stalls and side-shows, and ,tihe fair vendors of art union tickets were very prompt in button-holing visitors and inducing them to invest their spare shillings. The feature of last night's programme was the various military exhibitions, which were enhanced by the use of lime: light effects. Miss Thompson's party of young people once more tripped round the maypole and were heartily applauded. For to-night several tableaux have been arranged, and a gymnastic display is tob3 given by members of the Newtown Gymnasium. The Fuller Company's entertainments at the Choral Hall continue to be well patronised. The Flying Jordans appear again to-night. A change of programme is announced for to-morrow. The Exchange Hall was filled in every part last night when Davy's Royal' Marionettes were leachibited for the first time. The figures were skilfully manipulated, and their antics caused roars of laughter. Mr. Arthur Haha; the popular vocalist, will complete his Wellington season tomorrow evening. Miss Ivy Foster, a clever variety artist, is to make her first appearance to-night. There was- a moderate attendance at the Federal Theatre last night. The bill of fare presented by the Minstrel and Comedy Company seemed to give general satisfaction. To-night the programme, which has been performed throughout the week, will be repeated for the last time, and for to-morrow night an entirely new lirograinme is underlined. The Victoria Hall, Newfrown, was a scene of brightness and activity lost night, the sale of work in connection with St. James's Presbyterian Church attracting a large attendance, and good business was done at the Stalls, where articles of use and ornament were attractively displayed. Music was supplied' by St. James's Orchestra, conducted by Mr. King, interspersed with vocal items. The sale continues this afternoon and evening. The St. Augustine's bazaar at Petone was well patronised last evening. A glee was contributed by members of this church, and the remainder of the evening was taken up by nail driving, board sawing, quoits; and other competitions. A large audience attended the ambulance lecture" given by Mr. Moore-sat the Missions to Seamen last evening. The subjects were of a popular kind, and the competitions were of a very instructive nature.

This team will compete for the championship at Christchurch in January next. Three full rehearsals are being held at the gymnasium this week, and a bright and well-balanced display may be looked forward to. "Cut Off With a Shilling," which Mr. Clifford Walker produces this evening at the Sydney-street Schoolroom, is a oneact play, full of clever dialogue and mirthprovoking situations.
