The Kinematograph.

The Assembly Rooms were literally packed last niglit with a most attentive and appreciative audience to see the Kinecuatograph The representations which were the most striking and elicited the most applanse were the Hocky Cave on the coast of Cornwall, the charge of the Russian Cavalry, the Swimming Baths, aud tbe Battle of tbe Babies. When tbe Colonial troeps were seen passiug iv the Jubilee procession the cheering was loud and hearty, and as the Queen's carriage approached the applause was tremendous. Tbe whole of the audience stood up and sang the National Anthem with the warmest enthusiasm. Altogether the exhibition was a success, although some of the pictures were very shakey, and that spoiled tlie effect considerably.

The proceedings were opened by Mr St. L. Touer singing " Tbe Deathless Army "iv his urual faultless style. He also " Off to Philadelphia," which elicited well deserved applause.

The management made a great mess over thu reserved scats. Tbey allowed tlitiu to be rushed, and made not the Bli»htest effort to give these people the right they had acquired by bookiug in advauce. Such a bungle was simply unpardouable, aud was an exhibition of incapacity never before witnessed in Fcildinp in such connection.
