THE PHONOGRAPH.
The audience last night, at toe second exhibition of the phonograph at the Opera House, was even larger than on Monday evening, and the wonders of the marvellous invention were again received with delight and astonishment. Edison's discovery certainly opens up a field of resource, the extent of which can hardly be imagined at the present time.- It is not too much to say that such an invention, when its advantages are fully realised, will cause a complete revolution in business methods. Professor .Archibald's interesting lecture is keenly appreciated by those who attend the Opera House nightly, and assists them very much to understand the working of tho phonograph. All the items of last night's programme were warmly applauded. The after-exhibition, when < the listeners on the stage hear with the aid of ear-tubes, was also well attended. The third exhibition is to be given this evening, and 011 Saturday afternoon a matinee. Madame Burton, the gifted contralto singer, who is at present staying in Auckland, is to sing into the phonograph this morning. ,
