AMUSEMENTS.

HIS MAJESTY’S. THEATRE

Something quito.out of the ordinary is promised to patrons of Bernard’s Pictures this evening, when the new assignment of films will bo screened. “Beautiful Yorkshire” is an example of the best in scenics. No scenery in the world is of such beauty as the country scenes of the famous English county, and the picture presents it faithfully and well. Of historical interest are the scenes of Lucknow, the famous Indian city which figured so prominently in the Indian Mutiny. Tlie dramas are- magnificent. Pride of place is given to a German “star” picture “Black Panther.” The story is intimately connected with court life in one of the European principalities, and the chief figure is a Chancellor, whose villainies are finally overcome by an American. It is a- fascinating picture. The plot is laid among famous scenery, and the actors are superb in their various roles. “The Black Panther” is undoubtedly a film that talks, and should not bo missed. A record comic is to be screened in ‘One Round O’Neill,’ the funniest of films.

BOXING TOURNAMENT. Show tiihe is to lie still further oil'd ivened by a visit from the E Itham Sports and Pastimes Club, who have feugaged the Town Hall for Thursday, November 28th, and intend putting on one of their popular tournaments. If the tournament held in Hawera by them last Wednesday night, and the others held in their own town during the past year, are any criterion, lovers of really clean sport (for sports’ sake) will have a treat they won’t forget in a hurry. The secretary (Mr. I. Crossley) states that the club have arranged'the host programme that they have had so far, which is saying a good deal. Were the club not run on the cleanest lines, there would " not be ainougst the officials, committee, and members, such citizens as the Anglican Vicar, the Mayor, Borough Counci,lors, the district M.P., and most of the leading townspeople. In fact, the club boasts that they have not run a tournament yet which could not be witnessed by any lady (however sensitive) if she had any sporting instinct at all, and ladies are specially invited free. Stratford will no doubt show its appreciation by giving the club such hearty support as to induce them to come and give another turn in the near future, or, still better, to induce the local people to start a club of their own. By doing so they will help to keep alive one of the healthiest, manliest sports under the sun ; a sport that brings every moral, mental, and physical muscle into play; teaches onr lads to bo plucky, self-reliant, self-restrain-ing, healthy and clean lived, and has absolutely not one had point when followed on strict amateur linesg
