The scenic and educational side is catered for in “Niagara in Winter.” "Cairo, the City of Mosques" and “A Day in a Pottery Work-'."

The Pantomime Company concluded its New Zealand tour, and a very successful Invercargill season, in the Municipal Theatre, on Saturday evening. The building was crowded both at the matinee in the afternoon and at the final production of the pantomime in the evening. Except for the slight indisposition of the giant in the evening everything passed off without a hitch, and the visit of the pantomime will remain as a pleasant memory. The members of the Company will leave by the outgoing Melbourne steamer to-day.
