AMUSEMENTS.

HIS MAJESTY'S. The refined entertainment provided by the Crimson Ramblers and the vaudeville items in 'die second part were again much appreciated by a large audience at His Majesty's Theatre last evening. The acrobatic feats of the Olraos and the singing of Miss Bessie Slaughter (contralto) were greatly enjoyed. The company, which is a talented one all round, will make their final appearance to-night. QUEENS THEATRE. The continuous pictures at the Queen's Theatre drew large audiences yesterday afternoon and evening. The present programme is a lengthy, varied, and most interesting one. The "special feature of the new programme to be presented on Monday morning will be a picture of 'Picturesque Dunedin.' The film is 1,122 ft long, and is tinted and toned almost throughout. The views will commence with Dunedin in 1862, taken from authentic pictures, and will include all the interesting parts of the city and the principal buildings of the present day, also a special turn-out of the fire brigade". The picture will later on be presented to the Expansion League. THE KING'S THEATRE.

The final screening of this capital programme will take place to-night. PRINCESS THEATRE. The current programme of pictures at the Princess Theatre will be shown for the last time to-night.
