AMUSEMENTS.

RAILWAY SOCIAL TO-NIGHT. To-night in the Town Hall, the second social under the auspices of the Railway Association, will take place. The arrangements made are for the enjoyment of patrons and no efforts are being spared by the committee to make the social a complete success. A large number of patrons are expected. EMPRESS PICTURES. "The Scoap."—A young society reporter of the Sun tries to have an interview with Cornelius J. Smith, the multi-millionaire. She climbs the ' wall of the fence and meets the millionaire's son, who will not allow her to go further until she promises to kiss him, which she does. He then tells her where she will meet his father, and much to her disgust she finds him swimming. Sitting on his clothes she demands an interview, wich he soon grants her. She then has to pay two kisses to Cornelius before she can set out of the garden. It ends in an engagement.

THE DANDIES. Mr Edward Branscomba can always be counted on to give us high class and refined attractions, no matter the nature thereof, and the company of vocalists and merrymakers, designated *'The Dandies." whirh is to appear at-the Town Hall on Wednesday, July 16th, i 3 said to be no exception to the rule.' It has been to few companies to play a continuous summer season of six months in the one town, but this has been most successfully accomplished by the Dandies, who were recently given a great reception by the public of Adelaide. The Dandies are indefatigably workers, their items range from grave to gay, and refinement is one of the brightest jewels in their crown. The one aim of the Dandies is to please, and that they do is abundantly manifest in their Wonderful successes, their blithesome songs and their sprightly and eccentric dances, their dainty concerted, dres3 and' business numbers and their mirth provoking quips and cranks, make up a most versatile entertainment that could not possibly fail to please the most severe critic. The box plan is at McColPs. Final arrangements have been mad 3 for what promises to be a very successful initial practice of "The Merry Men of Sherwood," choir and orchestra Over thirty voices will be helping together with fourteen instrumentalsits. All those assisting or desirous of doing so are asked to please note the importance of attending the first practice, which will be held this evening at 7.30 sharp, in Mr Langmuir'a hall, Taupiri street.
