BOWLING.

Perry's Biorama Company's performances on Saturday and yesterday were well patronised, the attendances being large at each of the three given in Cook's Gardens, on Saturday evening, in Queen's Park yesterday afternoon, and in the Opera House last evening. The pictures, in natural colours, are the very latest, having just arrived from Melbourne. An entirely new programme is promised tonight in the Opera House, when a grand finale entertainment will be given.

There was a fair attendance at the Opera House on Saturday night, when the Hayward management provided a splendid programme of moving pictures. The pictures shown met with the hearty approbation of the audience. The Opera House being otherwise engaged, Hayward's will not show again until Thursday, when a complete change of programme is promised.
