Day sales .tickets are go,ingv off a number of seats' are being reserved at the Bristol. Holders of tickets will again be admitted a quarter of an hour before the ticket boxes open, and it is hoped by better management, to Ret everyone seated before 7.40 p.m. There are still eleven holders of reserve tickets for last performance who have not yet applied to the Bristol to transfer their reserves. The best advertisement this notable performance can have are the praises of the hundreds of satisfied people who attended last I Friday night's performance. A few i minor alterations have been made and ! places where time can be saved attended to, and by these means and by refusing all encores the management hope to get the performance finished much earlier, and the company having got over the difficulties of a, first performance tho audience will prohaby see n better entertainment than on la«t Fridnv. Tickets may be nd from the members of ' the comnany or from returned soldiers, and intending patrons nrp advised to either mirchnse their tickets in advance to be able to use the early doors, or else to reserve at the Bristol.
