DUNKBIK, 3W0.& 23 Alfred Bruton, aged 14 years, while driv ing a cart near Sfc Kilda Hotel on Saturday, struck the horse, which became restim The boy lumped off, the wheel of the cart passing over Ms head.

Paul Cinquevalli Season.

In view of the approaching visit of Mr Barry Kioteds' Vaudeville Company, our waders will be interested m a criticism of fch© Companies copied from tho Auckland "Star." After describing some of the amassing feats of Cinquevalli our contem porary goes on to say;— Last night was one which most people would prefer to spend indoors, the weather being bitterly cold, with heavy driving rain. However, Paul Cinquevalli proved too strong an attraction, and a very large audience assembled at the Opera Hours to witness the first performance of Mr Hftwy Eiokards 1 No. 1 vaudeville Company, of which the great juggler is the "star." By eight o'clock the house was crowded m ©very part. Paul CinquevalM, Tincomparable" and " the prince of jugglers," as he is styled m the play-bills, showed the audience last evening that he ia all that has been said of Mm, and a good deal more. When one goes to see " the prince of jugglers!" one naturally expects something out of the ordinary, and the audience last evening ■were certainly shown something very much out of the ordinary indeed. To say that a juggler is marvellous is to bratow one of the strongest laudatory epithets m the language, yet one feels that m Cinquevalli's case it is hardly expressive enough.. With in the limits of newspaper criticism it is impossible to detail all the extraordinary feats with which this extraordinary man entertained the audience; he must be j seen to be fully appreciated To say ! that the audience woro astounded: would be to put it mildly, and the applause which was showered on the performer was almost terrific—the cheering being loud find Jong. No performer ever got a finer ovation m the Opera House, It is safe to pay no performer deserved it more. Though of oourse Cinquevalli is the " star" of the Company, there are other attractions of a high order of merit. To Madame Lydia Teamans-Titas mast be accorded very great praise indeed for her exceeding ly clever mimicry. Possessing an unfliraal 1$ good sopi»tto voice* and a perfect

talent for miiniery, Madame Yeamans- Titus provided an entertaiumeut of the most novel and amusing kind. Her imitations of a celebrated singer, of an Italian opera singer, and of a housemaid singing " Dolly Gray " were most admirable, and provoked the heartiest of laughter ; but it was her imitation of a little child singing a song for the first time that simply carried the audience away. This item was simply inimitable, and it is no exaggeration to say that the audience laughed as much as any audience ever laughed. The laughter was bo boisterous that at times it quite drowned the lady's voice. Thunders of applause fol lowed this item, and the lady was several times recalled. Mr Frederick J, Titus accompanied Madame Yeanians-Titus on a Brinsinead piano, kindly lent by Messrs Hoffman and Sons. Next m order of merit was an excellent ventriloquial act by Mr Chas Colby, who manipulated two dolls m a most amusing way. Mr Colby was assisted by Miss Alice Way, whose performance as a dancing doll was distinctly good. Pro fessor Charles Wrigley exhibited an un usual amount of skill and feeling m his playing on the saxophone, clarionet, and bass cornet and fully deserved the hearty applaxise he received. The remainder of the programme was supplied by Mias Nita Leete (contralto), the Diamond Duo dan cers, vocalists, and ban joists, Miss Ida May and Mr Chaa Walker (cake walkers and specialty artists), and Mr James Opie baritone. All these artists were well received.
