AMUSEMENTS.

o THE ELWOOD TRIO. The management of the famous Elwood Trio have decided to give another concert in Stratford on Thursday, January 22nd. Since visiting Stratford last, the Elwoods have given nearly a hundred concerts and have received nothing but praise from press and public alike. Owing to an extensive tour already booked positively one concert only will be given. On this occasion the Elwoods will be assisted by Mr Arthur Macdonald, the wellknown Scotch baritone. \o doubt many people will remember the excitement Mr Macdonald caused in AVellington by,, carrying off the championship gold medal at the New Zealand competitions. The Dominion says:— "A brilliant performance." The Evening Post: "The Elwoods deserve a 'bumper' house."
