ENTERTAINMENTS.

D'ALMAINE COMPANY. A moderate house was attracted by the D'Almaine Mystery Company on Friday night. In the first part D'Almaine performed a number of conjuring tricks, which, if old, were cleverly done, and a ventriloquial act. The second half was devoted to hypnotism, and D'Almaine proved himself to be a clevtr hypnotist. Members of the audience were hypnotised and obeyed, to the ami.sement of the oniookers, the "suggestions" of the operator. Placed n a cataleptic Condition one subject, whilst balanced between two chairs on his neck and ankles, carried four men standing on his body. ALL STAR PICTURES. There was a large house at the All Star Pictures on Monday night, when an excellent piogramme was submitted. To-morrow night a particularly inteesting story of the New rork Stock: Exchange, "The Romance of Wall Street/' will be the principal picture. "Ihe Telephone Girl" is a great sensational thriller, ' whilst "Glimpses of the Caspian Sea" provides a tine scenic film, there are numerous comics and comedies.

Tomatoes in Fukekohe have gone down to fourpence per pound, and from njw onwards this very fine fruit (is it fruit or vegetable'') is likely to bj much more plentiful. Local crops are rapidly ripening, and nearly everybody grows a few tomato plants. Amongst the crops that are grown commercially, a good season, free from blight, has been enjoyed, and generally the fruiting has been prolific.
