The Kumara Times. Published Every Evening. TUESDAY, APRIL 7, 1885.

This evening, at the Theatre Royal, a dramatic entertainment will bo given by the Dillman Town Dramatic Club, when the grand mythological comedy, “ Pyo'. malion and Galatea ” will be performed, and also the thrilling drama of “The Fatal Glass,” or “The Drunkard’s Dream.” The object is not stated in the bill, but we understand it is principally in

aid of the wardrobe of the Amateur Club. In providing so many entertainments, as the amateurs do, for public and charitable institutions, it must be obvious that there is much expense incurred for the dresses and costume required for the production of the various characters, and which has mainly been supplied by the amateurs themselves. It is but reasonable that some assistance should be given for this purpose, and we hope the public will tonight show their appreciation of the amateurs’ services by according them a bumper house. As Professor Black, while he is in the neighbourhood, will give a lecture at Brunnerton on Wednesday, his lecture at the Theatre Royal, Kumara, is postponed till Thursday. He will also give lectures here on Friday and Saturday. It appears from a cablegram which we publish to-day that the reply of the Russian Minister for Foreign Affairs (Nicholas Carlovitch de Giers) to Earl Granville’s memorandum of the 16th March relative to the Russo-Afghan frontier is not of the satisfactory nature reported last week, and further negotiations will be necessary before the question can be settled. The claim at Larrikins known as Alex. M‘Leod and party’s was put up to auction to-day, and was bought by Mr Peter Grant, one of the shareholders, for £l2O. Mr Hayter, the Victorian statist, estimates Victoria will have a million inhabitants by May next year, and that New South Wales will have a similar population about two months’ later. It is stated that General Gordon was a Freemason. Special Telegram prom Soudan.— Vance Klaus Hassalaer wishes to state that his father —Mr Von Bon Fidegro Hassalaer—has arrived with a large stock of boots, which he is now offering for sale, and will sell to-night and the following days during Easter.—Vance Klaus Hassalaer has determined to clear all his remaining stock of groceries, drapery, &c., at a great sacrifice. —[Advt.] “ You Don’t Know Their Value.” “They cured me of biliousness, and kidney complaint, as recommended. I had a half-bottle left, which I used for ray two little girls, who the doctors and neighbors said could not be cured. I am confident I should have lost both of them one night if I had not the American Co.’s Hop Bitters in my house to use. This is why I say you do not know half the value of American Hop Bitters, and do not recommend them highly enough.” See
