AMUSEMENTS

j "K.lVi.a. PINAFORE." TO-NIGHT. ;; It is sincerely necessary to re,mind theatregoers of the performance to h;i given in the Town Hall this evening by the Masterton Amateur Operatic Society. That the public is looking forward With great expectancy to the production of this popular opera is evidenced by the exceptionally heavy booking for both to-night &nd,to-mor-row, and it is safe to predict a most successful season from every point of view. Throughout all the rehearsals the performers have entered into tne spirit of the piece with a zest and enthusiasm that must be very encouraging to the conductor, Mr R. J. Young. At the final dress rehearsal in tiic Town Hall last evening everything went with a swing from start to finish. The dancing introduced is now to perfection and tho catchy choruses "in which tho piece abounds cannot fail to be appreciated. The solas-by the prin-\ cipals was a special feature of lastnight's rehearsal all the 1 <?; ihg rendered • with the greatest ease and perfection. Tho orchestra is also- : in splendid form; and all their naVvi' 1 ; last evening were carried through without a hitch. The scenery is quite unique and is quite in keeping with the rest of the production. THOMPSON-PAYNE PICTURE- ] "THE WORLD AGAINST HER." The Foresters' Hall entertainment loses none of its popularity. Last* night the hall was well filled with a, delighted {radiance, The pictures well merited "the praise best-owed upon them. It was a particularly good programme. "The World Against Her" is the star drama, and this attraction has drawn crowded houses each night. It is a magnificent picture, which should not be missed. The film is of considerable length (3000 ft), and consequently takes some time to travel across the screen. Tim acting is go'.Kl' and the whole thing done in Nordisk's" finished manner, making tho film a certain winner from the start. Always popular, the present Lieut. Rose series, "The Hidden Treasure " has proved no exception to tlie rule. Tiio final screening is iinnouneed of this exciting star, and no doubt patrons who have been unable so far to see this series will make an effort to witness it to-night. The film is full of sensational incidents. Many other high-grade items are included in the programme, which cannot fail to j please both young and old. Dramas. ' comedies, topical, scenic, industrial, scientific, and comic studies are so well arranged, that tho night's entertainment passes all too quickly. The programme will be screened for tho last time to-night.

drainage from the paddocks should be collected together to one spot, and then piped across tho raco to the low lying paddocks on tho other side. Mr Dorsett should also bo served with a requisition to abate the nuisance caused on the bank at the side of tlio water race by his. houso drainage discharge, and that some other method be adopted for the disposal of his house slops. "I am further of opinion that an effort should be made to completely fence the race in its whole course, but this, however, is a matter which possibly could not bo undertaken straight away, but it should be done by degrees taking tho worst points first. "Tho and occupiers of tho premises on tho upper reaches of the dam, which I understand is known a'; Peterson'.", property, should be required to take measures to prevent the drainage from this property, and from tho pigsties from passing into tho dam and it would also bo necessary to prevent and drainage from the road getting in.—l have the honour to be, sir, "vour obedient serv-ai? +
