The lecture will be explained by reference to a fine series of, diagrams, and as Mr Gilruth is an authority on this interesting subject, there should be a large attendance.

WEST'S PICTURES.

The Opera House was crowded to the doors again last evenig, when West's Pictures and the Brescians concluded a most successful season in Wanganui. The entertainment provided was a really good one, the pictures shown being excellent. Great interest was taken in the production of the picture of Victoria Avenue, which was taken on Friday, when the weather conditions were not favourable. However, the picture was a very good one, all things considered, and caused considerable amusement. During the evening Mr West took oc6asion to thank the people of Wanganui for the liberal patronage bestowed upon him, and announced, amidst applause, that he hoped to return here before long, bringing with him a new lot of pictures, which no doubt will be appreciated by the public. •
