AMUSEMENTS.

FORESTERS’ SOCIAL. At the Town Hall last night the long looked for “wind-up” social under the auspices of the Foresters’ Lodge tons; place. Rain foil during the afternoon, and the prospects were bad for a fine evening, which no doubt prevented a large number of the country people putting in an appearance; iievertncVss, the social was a great success, which must have been very gratifying to the energetic committee of workrs. The floor was in tip-top order tor dancing, and was fully occupied, about one hundred couples of lovers of the light fantastic ibeing present, all J whom seemed to thoroughly enjoy themselves. The Ngaire Orchestra ■Mr S. Parker, cornet; Mr. Walsh, violin; and Mr. Walsh, piano) supplied "'co 1 lent music, and extras were kindly played by Misses M. Birkett and C. Copestake, and Messrs. A. Richaidson and R. Sanders. Messrs. H. and E. Hancock fulfilled the duties ot M.C.’s in a most creditable manner. A tasty supper was provided by Mrs. Brooking, and was appreciated. Ihe dance broke up in the early hours o. the morning, at a time, as it happened, when the rain was teeming down. HIS MAJESTY’S THEATRE. The now programme, which wascreened at Bernard’s last night oe fore a crowded house, is noticeable for its all-round excellence, and the great interest which the majority hi the films create. Inside views of a oreat English racing stable are seen m “The Sport of Kings,” the finest racing picture yet screened here. “Studies of Fish Life” is another film right out of jtlio ordinary line, and one which rivets attention on the sheet, vyjiile the marine Jdrama holds sway. The ; sinuous mov'ement and ghastly aspect of the octopus, the peculiarities of the sear u roll in, ray, sea worm and sea spider, were_ all well worth seeing. The only scenic; picture, street scenes, etc.,:, jn Salonica', is remarkable in that it comprises views of a people who are how engaged in preparation's for war. The “star” drama is a stock exchange story—“H s Wife’s Mother’.’| It tells of a young specuUatlir'i who insults his mother-in-law. gambles in May wheat, vfith his firm’s mohhy, and is saved from ruin by the woman he previously scorned. The I stomp it;healthV fine, with a moral. S aSid ibhlpicture/Us made really worth while by the magnificent acting of the principals. “The’Little Stowaway” rivl “A Physician’s Honour,” and “Fo; r His fPal's't f are? good dramas ; indeed, there'is not a weak spot in any of them. Seldom have three such fiatcomics as those shown last night, been screFd&Hhefe. To see “Irene’s Infatuation” is to laugh heartily, hut “Outvvattici^AFather”t?isc perfectly irresistible:

To-might this programme will be re peated, j
