Reynolds taKes his wife, Gertrude, down to the stables with him; Duval happens to be present and pays her marked attention. Shortly afterwards Reynolds agains finds the jockey ill-using Jervip, but on interfering the jockey answers backj "Look after your own wife instead of busying yourself with other peula's affairs." Reynolds fells him to the ground, and the jockey falls dead. Reynolds is sentenced to fifteen yearß' imprisonment.

THE KENNEDYS. Last evening' a Very pleasing entertainment as given by the Kennedys, in the Te Kuiti Town Hall. The programme, which was a lengthy one, proved to be entirely to the taste of the large audience present. Miss Dorothy Grace, soprano, and Miss Roae Fitzgerald, contralto, each delighted the audience with their sing ing. The 'celo playing of Mr Laurie Kennedy was indeed a treat, and was alone worth going a long way to hear. Violin solos were skilfully given by Mr Keith Kennedy and pleasing flute solos by Mr Lance Kennedy. Several concerted numbers were given by the company, and were well received. Madame Bertha Kennedy presided as the piano. The hearty appaluse given to nearly every item proved that the audience ware thoroughly appreciative and the fact that the company rasponded very generously to the repeated calls for encores Was favourably commmented upon. We feel sure that should the Kennedys again visit Te Kuiti a bumper house and a warm welcome will greet them. EMPRESS PICTURES. To-night "The Tell-tale Photograph" takes premier place in the change of programme. It is an appealing story and concerns a false friend and an unfaithful wife. The remainder of the programme consists of a fine serious of comedy, dramatic, scenic, and educational subjects in eluding a really good copy of the popular Topical Budget. On Tuesday next "The Black Triangle" will be screened. This photo-play is in four parts, and is described as a masterpieca of detective subtlety and skill.
