ENTERTAINMENTS.

PATHE PICTURES. To-night, at His Majesty's Theatre, the Pat he Pictures will repeat, tor the last time, the programme that was shown on Saturday, and was so well received.

CARTER THE GREAT.

Carter the magician, who begins a brief season in Gisborne at His Majesty's Theatre to-morrow (Wednesday) night, has presented his entertainment in almost ever country on the globe. Carter creates much merriment and amusement when not engaged in - his work professionally. For '"instance, on a trip from Wellington down tlie West Coast, when at Nelson, it is said. Carter astonished the natives, as well as many others who had gathered, by producing sovereigns from oranges, which H he found at the vendor's stand. Carter pocketed the sovereign, and then bought another orange, and attracting the attention of the vendor, once more cut the orange and again brought to the view of the astonished native another -gold piece between the halves of the fruit. Carter thereupon bought two more oraiiges. and after opening these, and finding two more sovereigns, one in each, which the magician took pains to reveal to the now mystified man, asked the vendor to sell him a cozen of the fruit, which the vendor promptly refused to do. Carter and his friends smilingly took their departure, and irom a slight distance stopped and watched the vendor eauti- ' on sly take up and halve one after the • other five or six oranges, hoping to find gold m fruit, and thus he able to work no more.
