LORNE-STREET HALL: THE ZULU WAR.
Last night there was a large number of visitors at this place of amusement, whicb was occupied by an exhibition of the principal scenes, comprising battlefields, marches, aud incidents of the rocnt Zulu war. These pictures are good photographic views, thrown on to a screen nearly twenty feet high, of the varioui-i placei in South Africa which have now become famous. The Zulu war has been prolific of individual acts of heroism, and the extraordinary combination of national resources which it developed, has already given it something of historic dignity. Tne views are evidently taken frum authentic sketches. The death and funeral of the Prince Imperial of Prance gave something of a romantic glamour to the enterprise.. This sad episode is well illustrated. The figures are all rather over than under life size. The a-tion of each scene is well expres ed. The exhibition is very effective, ihe whole is explained by Mr. J. B. Steele, the well-known popular actor.
