HAYWARD'S PICTURES.

The change of programm<> filled the Theatre .11 oval last evening, and the various items were well l'tceived, in most instances the applause being very hearty. First we had an amusing "lesson in cleaning" by a too energetic road sweep.T, who made the pathways much cleaner than safe, the slipporiness occasioned by his polishing process occasioning many amusing mishaps, aiul, of course, much loss of temper. The "Ranchman's Feud" came next, this being an interesting and even, powerful drama. "The Old Story, with a New Setting" tickled the audience very much. It illustrated a practical joke played upon a susoeptblo and unsophisticated rustic, who vas led to believe that a charming voting lady was in love with him, the aiding being severe disappointment. )ne of the principal features in the programme is "The Building and 'aunching of the k.it. Olympic," said to 'jc the largest ship in the world. These ire remarkably fine pictures, exbibitng the. various stages of construction is well as the ceremony of launching ill/:' splendid vessel. "How Max tour■>cl round the World" is a farcical sketch illustrating the deception which :ome husbands practice upon their ivives. In this instance the husband monies 01T second best at the game. "P'athe's Gawtte" is always a wclcomp variety, and last night we had the King of Greece arriving at the Houses of the Legislature to open Parliament; royalty at play ; the King and Queen of Spain at the sea-side; General Badeu-Powe'l inspecting the Hoy Scouts, etc. "The Clown and the Weary Pasha" was a long series of pictures representing a more than usually comical comedy. "Real Brittany," a beautiful scenic study, and ' Peg "Woffington" an historical drama were the remaining and by no means the least interesting parts of a really ■•pry eiitertaing programme. A Nol'•■o!i quartette party sang "On the Sea," which was loudly and ■deservedly ,'iieored. Th>?y responded, and afterwards one of the party (Air. Donne) sang a comic song entitled "To bo rontiuued in our next," which greatly delighted a considerable section of the audience. The programme will be repeated tin's ovening.
