ENTERTAINMENTS.

"THE SQUATTER'S DAUGHTER." Another big audience witnessed tlia. "Buffalo Bill" pictures at the ; Opera House last evening. This evening /the' Messrs. MacMahon will present a very ' fine biograpli version of that well-known sensational Australian drama, . ''The Squatter's Daughter," which has had a very successful run in the northern cities. The Auckland ."Star" says of its production in that city: "It is not lohsr ago since a company toured New Zealand with this drama. Yet its presentation as a pictorialproduction drew probably a better house last night than the original- performance. The picture. sto:v of course, has the advantage of a moi? natural • setting. • 'The Squatter's Daughter,' as a pictorial gem, owes its success . largely to the introduction of a good deal of Australian bush scenery. The thrilling details of 'the drama , are well ; told in every respect. The story lends itself to pictorial production, wtih plenty of movement and of incident. The whole picturo was thoroughly described by ~ Mr. Roy Traftord, member of the original company."

The public will only have a fewmore" opportunities of witnessing these clever artists, for. theirs last nights are . announced. At / .the performance last evening Farrell and GafTney again: delighted the-audience with their original • songs, dialogue, and novelty dances.
