ENTERTAINMENTS.

AN OPINION OF TINY TOWN. The Sydney Newsletter expressed itself in the following terms regarding Tiny Town, the inhabitants of which will appear at New Plymouth to-mor-row night:—"No doubt Tiny Town at the Exhibition Building is about the most remarkable show ever seen in Australia; and just as it is the most remarkable, it is the most pleasant and most picturesque. People who imagine this lilliputian show must be repellent and unpleasant will find it the prettiest and most interesting sight that can be imagined, and that was the experience of the record crowd of fashionable people who with their children attended the matinee last Saturday. Taken altogether, the gay and vast throng and the j inhabitants of Tiny Town were a sight ! worth seeing. Never was there such a j matinee at the Exhibition Building or any place else in Sydney. And what j sort of ail interest was taken of the j whole business! The show proved one I of great human interest to all men, women and children competing for the sights of the arena and of Tiny Town. What heightened the interest was tke revelation of perfect models of dear little ladies—each with a kind and beautiful face, each with a perfect artistic physique absolutely fascinating; and to this may be added a gesture and stage deportment that nothing but a higheluss education eould have produced. And here on this point of education the lilliputians, both ladies and gentlemen, •oarerse in several languages, one lady speaking eight —all in sweet and perfect, though child-like tones, Without knowing it, Tiny Town gives young and old Australia very good lessons in courtesy and deportment." The afternoon performance at the Theatre Royal, will commence at 3 p.m., and the evening one at eight. The village will be opened an hour earlier in each case. Seats may be reserved at Collier's Music Warehouse, and children may be booked at half rates.
