ENTERTAINMENTS.

s — ■* ROYAL PICTURES.

The Royal Pictures are still on view at His Majesty's Theatre, and publio patronage is maintained at v very satisfactory state for the proprietary. Tonight pictures of interest during the progress of the championship boat race at Wanganui will be shown. Another prize matinee will bo hold on Saturday afternoon. FULLERS ENTERTAINERS. Horizontal bar evolutions, clever juggling, eccentric dancing, humorous songs, biograph films, and ballads about home and mother combine to give excellent variety to 'the programme which the Fuller Entertainers are presenting at the Theatre Royal this week . MISS PULSFOED'S CONCERT. Miss Lenore Pulsford's farewell concert will take place in the Concert Chamber of the Town Hall this evening, and promises to be a success. Mr. Alfred Hill willintroduce his original composition, a* quartette for three flutes and piano, in which quaint Maori melodies have been introduced. The other artists taking part will include Miss Frances Morrison, Mr. Leslie Hill, Miss Phoebe Parsons, and Mr, Horace Hunt. Miss Pulsford will leave Wellington for London via Melbourne on Thursday next. CLARA BUTT. The programme to be presented at Madame Clara Butt's farewell concert on Tuesday evening next will be especially interesting by reason of the fact that the items have seldom been heard in Wellington before. The grand ana "Softly awakes my heart" from Samson I and Delilah, is a magnificent piece of composition and probably the bpst from the pen of the French composer. "England, Mother England" (E. C. Booth's patriotic ballad) should be heard with interest, and Francis Allitsen's duet, "Break, Diviner Light," for contralto and baritono, will also be included in the programme. Mr. Kennerley Rumford will sing "The Lament of Shah Tehan," a dramatic scene especially written for him by Lundon Ronald, also two songs by the late Sir Arthur Sullivan— "Tears, idle Tears" and "Swallow, Swallow."" Mr. Cecil Bane will play the Finale from Alendelssohn's Concerto in E minor, and Mr. Frank Herrick will contribute several piano solos. The piano and organ accompaniments will be played by Mr. Arthur Godfrey and Mr. Maughan Barnett respectively. The second and final concert takes place on Thursday evening. HARBOUR EXCURSION. The popular harbour excursion to Day's Bay was veil patronised last evening. The water was smooth, the air cool and bracing, and there was music in abundance. A string band played popular airs on the Duchess whilst at the bay. A successful concert was held in the pavilion.
