AMUSEMENTS.
BENGOUGH. U Bengough, the Canadian entertainer, will appear in the Town Hall to-night. A contemporary says:Bengough tells stories graphically and humourously, recites dramatic ally his own verses, gives musical burlesques, and is in addition the only cartoonist who makes a specialty of embellishing his programme with sketches of local notabilities and cartoons on topics of the moment. This unique feature he manages with such tacts and good taste that it is everywhere enormously popular, and by note more heartily enjoyed than by the "subjects" selected for this distinction. Seeing that Mr Bengough only reached Dunedin at 4 p.m. yesterday, met his subjects for the first time in the interval between then and his entertainment, and was able to go on the stage and reproduce them from memory to the unmistakable and instant recognition of everyone, it is nothing short of marvellous Bengough's company comprises Borneo Gardiner, the boy whistler, Claude Allan, baritone, and Dora Carroll, pianiste. The box plan is at McLeod and Young's.
