AMUSEMENTS.

WEST’S PICTURES

A first-class programme is promised at tiio Town Hall to-night. The chief picture is a very interesting one, namely, a romance of the French Revolution, entitled, “The Conspirators.” The Committee of Public Safety are informed that a certain nobleman and bis daughter are ploting against tho Republic, and circulating documents calculated to assist tho Monarchist party. A raid is planned on the count’s house, hut no incriminating papers are discovered. Taking advantage of the count’s absence, the officer in charge of the raiders insults the daughter, and is ignomiously ejected by the irate father. Then tho officer decides to have his revenge, and succeeds" only too well. The count and his daughter are thrown into prison, and, with tho connivance of the same policeman manage to escape, only to fall more completely into his power. After undergoing diverse humiliations, they are at last rescued by an officer in the Republican army, and have the satisfaction of seeing their former enemy being escorted to prison. This film is beautifully coloured and has won much appreciation wherever shown. Tho rest of the programme will be pleasantly diversified, and will include “Messalina,” a coloured dramatic film, “Industrial Borneo,” “The Spanish Army,” “Waterfalls of Sarpbory,” “Ramona,” an Indian story, “The Magic Fan,” a coloured Him, and a full supply of the comic element.

SKATING CARNIVAL

The arrangements for the grand fancy dress and poster skating carnival to be held in the Stratford Town Hall on October 26tli are well in hand. Every effort is being made to ensure success. The fancy dress and poster costume will excel anything yet seen at a similar function. Great interest is being taken in tho various events, especially the half mile championship tor which a gold brooch is to bo presented to tho lady and a gold medal to the gentleman. The Stratford Municipal Band will play several selections during the evening, which will considerably add to the attractions, and given a tine evening a bumper house is certain. Persons in fancy or poster costumes will oblige by leaving a card at tho ticket office with their name and tho character of the costume they represent.
