ENTERTAINMENTS.

"A BACHELOR'S HONEYMOON." Last evening His Majesty's Theatre was again filled to overflowing, when the Hugh J. Ward Company played "A Bachelor's Honeymoon" for the third time. The farcical situations were greeted with hearty laughter. In his interpretation of the unfortunate alleged bachelor Mr. Ward gave xirominenco to the humour of his part, and hisipfforts were most successful. Miss Grace Palotta. with Mr. Ward, was a great contributor to the mirth of the audience, who kept, up a ripplo of laughter from start to finish of the piece. Miss Rose Musgrove as Marianne, the lady with a " clue in 'or 'ead." caused much amusement, and played remarkably well. Miss Celia Ghiloni and Mr. Reginald Wykeham portrayed other prominent characters in this side-splitting farce.
