Wa have already heard numerous env ••'••jg quiries with reference to the above dis-,t.^«g play, and it is evidently going to ,be' a'-.: -y^ big success. The public like novelty,,'} ;■«'«;£ and Messrs Stokeeand Bickerton's enter-^ a*-.&a *-.& tainment is certainly a novel and fflcoMfejj^sj tionally pleasing one. The firm are ,ad-r e& vertising the display extensively in the--j^ country districts, and we may expect a MM f:?«js f :?«j$ big influx of country visitors. PyroteclivKftSj nical exhibitions in New Zealand are few ££$& and far between— if we except thejndpi-^iyg cnt cracked discharged by the übiquitous small boy onGuyFawkes Day — and there J"?|% must be a large number of people in and *£*$ aicund Wanganui who have never. ■witr.-\'£-5 nessed one. To them we are confident it'^xra will be a source of wonder and delight fe;^ that such beautiful and pleasing effeote^ 4^ can be produced, and those who" hava^:?* previously experienced the pleasure -will}" r~'<*| wo feel sure, be only too willing -to irawf'ssjj their acquaintance. The display includes' \s^ seven or eight of what are termed -Bet;~s-| pieces. The manufactured average .cosfe_-''g> closely approaching double figures THifl f.^s will serve to give thejjenferal publican.. I :.i, idea of the expense attached to thej,S^>' t<4' tertainmeht.
