AMUSEMENTS.

EMPRESS THEATRE. "The Stolen Favourite."—A gang of criminals secure Jim, who resembles Nik Winter and get him to steal the horse Whirlwind, in the baron's stables. Nick Winter gets on the train of his double. Whirlwind is recovered, but the thieves escape. The horse hag to ba removed back again, and it occurs to Nick that another attempt may be made. Accordingly he arranges to be concealed in Whirlwind's box. The bog is held up by the gang. Nick is consequently able to effect one of his smartest and cleverest captures. "THE DANDIES." In presenting "The Dandies" to local theatre-goers at the Town Hall Te Kuiti, on Wednesday next, Mr Edward Branseombe feels especially gratified and pleased in being the means of introducing so highly eulogised and talented a combination of artists, whose reputation throughout Australasia is beyond question and associated with one unbroken record of success. The entertainments they provide have been found to possess the rare merits of cleanliness and originality. and have also been acclaimed by press and public to meet all the re quirements of sn intelligent people. The attractions are bright, sparkling and fresh, and fall not at all within the category of the commonplace. "The Dandies" have made a welcome departure from the conven tional, and their reward is success, monetarily and artistically. The box plan for Te Kuiti ia at W. McColl's.

RAILWAY SOCIAL AND DANCE.

The Railway social announced some weeks ago for the 9th inst. duly came ,to pasß. Although the elements, both over and urder, were not entirely conducive to a bumper attendance, the gathering was such as to leave nothing but feelings of gratification in the minds of the most sanguine of committeemen. The evening was one long round of pleasure. Musical items of rare merit were given by Messrs Connell, Guy, Jepson, Cain and others. The edibles were most excellent, and nothing further need be said than that the supper was supervised by Mr F. Langstone and his good lady. The hall was nicely decorated with palms. The music was supplied by Misses McGrath and O'Brien in the early part and continued by Mr Christian, and was of the usual high order, enjoyed by the devotees of the Terpsiehorean art in Te Kuiti.
