ENTERTAINMENTS, ETC.

HIS MAJESTY'S. That the appetite of Wesllipgton audi-. enoes for vaudeville is insatiable has long since become obvious, but further proof was given at His Majesty's Theatre last night, when the Fuller Entertainers were again welcomed by an • overflowing audience. Signor Torzillo gained repeated recalls for his musical contributions, and all the other members of the company were well received. THEATRE ROYAL. "The Crimes of the Police," as staged by the Stanford-Howard Dramatic Company, are evoking far more public interest in Wellington than is the approaching sitting of the Police Commission. Last night the company 'had a good house to witness the play, in which humour, sorrow, sin, and sensation are respectively observable in allopathic quantities as the performance progresses.
