ENTERTAINMENTS
HUGARD, MAGICIAN. To-night at the Opera House the public of Wellington will have an opportunity of judging for themselves" the merits of Hugard and his company of entertainers. Speaking of his performance a contemporary says: — "It is not too much to say that the most sanguine expectations of patrons were fully realised before the entertainment Was half way through. Hugard is an artist, and the audience quickly realised tho fapt. Nowadays his feats appear just as incomprehensible as they would have done in ancient days of witchcraft, but instead of attributing his great gifts to the Powers of Darkness, thoso who had the good fortune to witness Hugard at his art could 6it and applaud his cleverness." A pleasing feature about Hugard's entertainment is said to be the absence of curtains and cabinets, the whole performance being given in full view of the audience. Popular prices are announced, and seats may be reserved at tho Dresden.
