AMUSEMENTS.

"UNCLE TOM'S CABIN."

To-night Miss Ella Carrington, Mr Charlie Taylor, and their company in support, will appear at the Town Hall in "Uncle Tom's Cabin." An exchange says:—"The Opera House was crowded to the doors last night to witness the Taylor-Carrington Dramatic Company's performance of * Uncle Tom's Cabin," and from the visa of the curtain until its final fall the audience was kept busy either applauding, laughing, or crying. Miss Carrington was responsible for the major portion of the laughter, and it is not too much to say of her performance of Topsy that it is unquestionably the best impersonation of 'the coloured imp' the Dominion has ever seen." The staging of the play is also highly spoken of.

CURLES' PICTURES. A unique programme will be presented to-night at the Skating Rink by the above company. Those who enjoyed that remarkable picture, "The Round-up on the Pendelton," will be pleased to welcome another production just as exciting in "With the Boys on No. 2," which was taken on the world's largest horse raising ranch. The dramatic subjects are all stars, and will appeal strongly to the audience, while the comedies and comics are of such a nature that they cannot help but evoke hearty laughter whenever seen. HAYWARD'S PICTURES. The new programme instituted at the Town Hall on Mondey last was shown before a good house, and proved as much to the taste of the audience as any previously presented by the enterprising management. Next Friday a complete change of programme will be submitted. The star film is a comedy entitled "Max Linder V. Nick Winter," and is said to be over 2000 feet in length. "A Cowboy Damon and Pythias" is a tale of two cowboys who were tried by the crucial test of willingness to die that the other might live. The both live to enjoy the friendship so firmly made in the Grand Canyonn of Colorado, where the incident occurred. "At the Point of the Sword" is a drama of romance and chivalry, depicting the adventures of an outlaw, who in gratitude aided a lady fair with her true love. "Violet Drew" is a cleverly worked out photo play, containing many exciting scenes and situations. The scenic and educational films are "Sculling Roboun's" and "Lobsters and Crabs" which will be found very interesting. "Adoption of Jim" and "Leah is Jealous," are of the comic element.

On Saturday evening the management begs to announce that they have secured at enormous expense a magnificent star film entitled "Camille" which includes the world's greatest living actresß Madame Sarah Bernhardt in the title role.
