The city was crowded with people v.ho had gathered to witness the celebration of Madoro's cr.tiy. ’! here were several seismic shocks. .Madera was visibly affected when proclaimed the now Liberator amid the flumes resulting from the earthquake. ■ His arrival stilled the panic that followed the first shocks. There was a disappointing audience at the Town Hall last night When an excellent programme was submitted by West’s .Pictures. The wool her hud, no doubt, a great deal to do with the poor attendance, which was not what it slimed have been at such a high-class show. Tinpictures 'were perfectly projei ted, and were of a nigh standard. MOTES AML) MEMORANDA.
