The show at St. Mary,s Hall last eva- ning was a very fine one, both the drama and the cne-reel conie being highly en- tertaining screen material. The attend- ance was meagre however, and it was made known taht on aceount the iack of patronage this place of amusoment wil not be econtinued after July 3lst. It is probably only up to the publie to make it worth the while of the management to remain in the business. The fact is that ithis town is equal to supporting diver- sion of this sort only to a limited extent, and where competition is set up prices must either b 2 made low enough to draw large audiences or it becomes simply a test of the fittest. The pictures shown at St. Mary’s Hall have been amorg the best shown here, but it is not the piciure that counis SO muen &as gaining puabiic interest in other respecis and of holding that interest when gained, [t is hoped that it will be found unnecessary to carry out the intention of closing. A refreshing shower of rain fell here at 7.30 this morning. TELEGRAMS. ST. CROIIX STATION. Lordon, July 16:h. —The touring Wast Indian XI started their match against Warwickshire on Saturday.
