THE BIOSCOPE AT THE MASONIC HALL

Every seat at the Masonic Hall was occupied on Saturday night on the occasion of the second exhibition of the Bioseope, and judging by the applause throughout the evening the entertainment was eminontly to the satisfaction of those present. The animated photographs shown were of a very varied description, but it is certain that those bearing on the war in South Africa most strongly appeal to the on-lookers, whilst the ceremonies of State connected with King Edward in London find great favour, The ceremonies of the funeral procession of the lute Queen Vicioria was exceedingly interesting, and though they did not excite such loud demonstrations of approval as thexe above referred to on account of the solemn ature of the subject treated, they were no doubt highly Appreciated by all present. The exhibition isa very attractive one, and will no doubt draw a full house again this evening and on further representations, as it" well deserves.

The representation of a view from a travelling express train was an excellent one, and the clever introduction of a comic episode when passirly through a tunnel added much to its general effective. ness
