AMUSEMENTS.

BERNARD'S PICTURES. In the programme presented last night at Bernard's Theatre, the star drama entitled "The Chinese Death Thorn," proved to be a sensational Kalem drama of life in Chinatown, Frisco. The programme teems with the latest current topics, and should not he missed. On Monday evening the Kalem Co. will be to the fore in the Western American Indian warfare drama, "The Big Horn Massacre." Fleetfoot and ITawkeye, rivals for the band of Willowbud. fight a terrific knife duel on horseback. Fleetfoote is, killed. Willowbud hates Hawkeye and runs from the camp. The red men discover an emigrant train in Big Horn Valley, and an attack is made. Only two whites escape death. Lee, who goes for assistance, and his*.sweetheart Vera, who becomes Hawkeye's captive. Leo informs the commandant of the fort of the massacre. Willowbud steals from the post and hastens to warn her people that the soldiers have been sent in pursuit. Blake and his men find the emigrant camp in ashes. Filled with desire to avenge the death of the women and children in the party, the soldiers proceed to the Indian camp. The Indians, despite desperate resistance, are almost wiped out. The boy later discovers that Vera has been found in Hawkeye's tent by Blake. The lovers rush to each other's arms.

"THE HAYMAKERS." Tlie Methodist choir held a very enthusiastic practice last evening for th<> production of "The Haymakers" cantata. The solo work is in capable hands, and the choruses are now being rendered with splendid effect. Everything indicates that the performance of this cantata, at Regan Street Hall, on Thursday next, Arill be a good one.
