MONDAY NIGHT.

Mfi^ns H. A. Ncilson and Sni promise the public an excellent an 1 up-to-date biograph entertainment in the Theatre Rojalon Vonday night. In addition to a splendid sorics of living pictures of scenes from the P.tirs Exhibition and South African War the proprietors will exhibit for the first time in New Zealand \hf gn-at spectacle of the Queen's funerial. The films of this great funeral cortege only came to hand by this week's English mail, and the proprietors lost no time in arranging and having a test exhibition. On Friday night the members of the press wore invited to see the test, which proved in every respect successful. The time occupied for tho great procession to pass before the sight is considerable, and gives an idea of the colossal nature of Britain's last tribute to tho departed Queen. The enterprise of V essrs Neilson and Son should be rewarded with good support on Monday night.
