AMUSEMENTS.

PRINCESS THEATRE. The second production of that remarkable, play, "The Yellow Peril," by MacMahon's powerful dramatic company attracted another large and enthusiastic audience at the Princess Theatre last- evening; and there could be no doubt from tho interest with which each stirring incident was followed that the proprietary has achieved a distinct success in its novel departure. Magnificently staged as it is, and with its long cast o[ characters so admirably portrayed by (he company, the play must ensure for itself a brilliant future; and it is to be sincerely regretted that the exigencies of the season to be played in Dunedin only allow of its last representation this evening. Tng Executioner's Daughter. To-morrow evening, when the company will close its present season, will be staged for the- first time one of tho latest London dramatic novelties,' "The Executioner's Daughter," by the present-day popular plavwright. E. Hill Mitchelson. This is the dramatisation of an historical and singularly interesting episode in the social life of Paris, which lends itself to intense dramatic treatment. During tho present tour the management has achieved distinct successes in ils reproduction. It will be staged with that elaboration of detail which always characterises its productions.

TAYLOR-CARPJNGTON COMPANY. Tho cver-poplar " Uncle Tom's Cabin " was repeated to a large audience at the Alhamhra, Th.ca.tio last night by the Taylor-Oarringtou Dramatic Company. The play was excellently staged, and the.work of the members of tho company deserved the frequent applause ith which the performance was punctuated. " Uncle Tom's Cabin" will bo staged agaiu this evening.

WEST'S PICTURES AND THE BRESCIAKS. Another bumper house patronised His Majesty's Theatre last night. The interesting pictures, which are so admirably shown by means of a magnificent lantern, were received with delight on all hands. The views of Canada give a capital idea of the immense area of that country and of its vast productions and cs.pabilities. The musical portion of the entertainment is always appreciated. The same programmo will he submitted tonight, and a matinee will be given to-morrow.
