Montgomery's Kinematograh.

There was a Urge attendance of the pubic «|i the Oddfellows' Hall last evening i 0 witness another example of EdUon's <x portion by photographic films of the rein c ■ of kinematics. Montgomery a txh,bw:o i. not confined wholly to animated pie uree extensive u»e being made, between tho prnduotifin of (heap, of myrioramio views, to give better effect to wlut is shown by the kiaematograpu, and also to ilium rate bmiu eto. The exhibition w»a a pioncanotd suooess, and the whole was unanimously voted one of the beat) entertainments of the kind that Aahburton has been favored with Naturally, the first interest centred it. such plotuies as had reference to. or wrr© in any way connected with, tho war. These were mostly myriotamiu, butt ley wero good of their kind, and the photographs of Bovrs under arms, e«peoially one of a typical Boor commando, called forth much interes'. Amongst the animated pictures wu one •ntitled the "gmhering of the clans" showing a maruh of Highland voluu teer*, headed by a strong pipe band, before Her MajMty. The pictjre showed the flno physique of the men forming the local army in the Highlands of Bootlant?. Another was an exhibition of cavalrymen praotisina hurdle-jumpiug and saddle vault ing, showing the kind of h< raemanahip that dragoons are expected to be capable of. A , marvellous illusion, "The man with four head*" thowed us a liviug man taking off his head, »nd laying it on a table, repeating < the tllucion till he had thee living heads gibbering at him «nd dancing on the table, while the fourth was on his shoulders. It Wat a weird and creepy picture, and the illusion was cleverly managed. It would take too long to enumerate ail the pictures ■hown in an exceedingly full and varied pro gramme, so that it must suifija to say they were all excellent, and drew forth loud and prolonged applause, and not a tew had to be repeated. The aeries of views depicting & Spanish bail fight were loudly applauded, being realistic in the extreme. Mr Mont gomery sings a really good tong, and his •iagiog—to music of his own—of '• The absent-minded beggar' was a palpable hit, while from a vocalist's point of view his *• Cuckoo song " was very commendable. Mr Harry Hull is undoubtedly funny, and ib recalled for every item. So funny is he, that in the laughter he provokes the fact that he is not every time just altogether of one mind with the piano is forgiven, The kinematograph, will be shown again tonight, when a change of programme will be intro- i duoed.

CORRESPONDENCE

THE RANGITATA WORKS.

TO THE EDITOR, Fib,—Regarding the unusual request, as published in your report of the County Council meeting io your issue of January 13, let me aay that in a high handed aud cob? tradiotory manner the Council refuse » re quetfc from a party who have to pay the whole of the cost—not, Sir, a work that would be paid for out) of Council funda—so that they may know who to blams for the evident faulty construction of the rac». Ihe ratepayers interested &ek for a copy of the specification so that they may see for them etlves if their money is being fairly spent. If the Council have no need to fear their < action in the matter being looked into, why withhold the requester! information ? Surely they should be satisfied, when the rate payers have to pay the piper, to let them ohoose the tune. When work is done it is usual to pay for it, but I would ask our worthy members on the County Council if it is usual to pay without satisfying your self that it is done, or do the Council work do Another lay ?—I am, feo., JKdwabd Tayiob.
