ENTERTAINMENTS.

"A TICKET IN TATTS." To-night will be the final opportunity afforded of witnessing the Australian racing drama, "A Ticket in Tatt's." The picture is an excellent one, and well worth seeing. THE SCARLET TROUBADOURS. The members of this talented combination arrive from Dunedin to-mor-row morning, and vrill commence their farewell season at the Opera House in the evening. The present tour of the Dominion has been a most successful one, easily eclipsing the former ones. Since the Troubadours were last in Wellington they have acquired a number of now musical novelties, which ftiey will introduce here. This will be the final appearance of the company in Wellington, as when the tour of the Dominion is concluded, the Troubadours return to England.
