MARTYN HAGAN.

“HANDY ANDY.” To-night Martyn Hagan will produce this renowned Irish comedy. The great satisfaction expressed by everyone who attended previous performancesOf this clever comedian and his company will doubtless result in a bio- house to-night. The comedy abounds in mirth, and genuine Irish humor is always on top. In this particular class of work the members of the company are at their best. Mr Hagan himself is a typical Irishman, and his interpretation of such a character as Handy Andy is equal to the highest standard of merit.

, MOURNING AT MOUNT KEMBLA, FUNERALS OF VICTIMS. BURIAL OF THE TWO HEROES. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright (Received Aug. 4, 1.15 a.m.) Sydney, August 3. The South Coast colliery districts, the garden of Australia, glorious in all the brightness of its glory in an early spring, is to-day a veritable land of mourning. The bodies of the majority of the victims were committed to their last resting places. Along every road for miles round the scene of the disaster, and down every mountain track, wended the mournful processions, and around the graves in the cemeteries of the scattered townships and hamlets gathered the whole mining population and many visitors who came to pay their last tribute to the dead. There were many distressing scenes of sorrow. The officiating ministers delivered impressive addresses. Eighteen bodies were buriel in the cemetery under Mount Kembla, close to the scene of death. i
