ENTERTAINMENTS.

OPERA HOUSE. The Allan Hamilton Dramatic Company has scored a palpable lilt with “A Message from Mars,” and another crowded boutse wsitched the play with the keenest interest last evening. Mr Robert Inman as Horace Parker, Mr Bryant as The Messenger, Miss Khadijah Cooper its Aunt Marth-a, and Mr Fitzgerald as TJio Tramp, we.ro all most successful, and were ably supported by tho rest of the company. ' “A Message from Stars” can only be played to-night and to-morrow night. On Friday evening "Little Lord Fauntleroy” will be staged for one night only, in order to give Wellington theatregoers an opportunity of seeing Baby Watson in her impersonation of Cedric. Wherever this dainty little six-year-old has appeared in this character she has captured the hearts of all present, and supported as she will be by the strong company that Mr Hamilton has got together, a most interesting performance may bo confidently looked for. The plan for Friday evening is now open at Holliday’s. THEATRE ROYAL. The programme which is being submitted this week at the Theatre Royal is attracting large crowds. Haronion and Wyatt, the Sandow Girls, Fred. Garnett, and- the other performers each came in for tho hearty planditt of patrons last evening. HIS MAJESTY’S THEATRE. The capable company with which Mr Howard Vernon has surrounded Idnißclf again produced the clover lyric comedy "A Trip to Chinatown” at Hie Majesty’s Theatre last evening. Tho play goes merrily throughout, and the ladies and gentlemen representing the various characters nightly receive from their audiences unmistakable indications of appreciation in regard to this work. WONDERLAND. The continuance of fine weather makes Wonderland a desirable point of assembly for a groat number of people. Tho sensation of last night was not on tho programme. Do Dio, tho gentleman who descends the watcr-chute on a flaming bicycle, had only descended halfway when a tyre of his bicycle became punctured. The rim of lire wheel affected evidently caught in tho decking, and tho rider suffered a heavy fall. It was found that he had received severe scratches and bruises, but he has , intimated his. intention of again essaying the feat (minus the fall) to-morrow evening, Tho other amusements continue to attract patrons, and tho attendances ore large.

A successful sale of work in aid of the Church funds of St. Mary’s parish was held in tho Parochial Hall, Kurori, last evening.
