Young Hillgrove is fu love with Lily Armidale, and Blackmore, having designs in the same direction, is all the more eager for the removal of bis rival.
The hero, of course, eventually Ands himself in a very tight corner, but here the Illusionist comes upon the scene, and not only enables Jack on several occasions to accomplish the, disappearing trick when hard pressed, but afterwards so plays upon the superstitious fears of one Barcoo-another creature of Blackmore -that he gives Solly Steel away as the murder of Kosciusko Joe. On this incident bangs one of the most sensational scenes of the drama. Barcoo, fearing reprisals from the mate whom he has betrayed, starts in a wintry storm acrosa Mount Kosciusko, and 1e lost amid the snowclad rocks. Here Solly Steel, who has gone in pursuit, overtakes him, and is about to annex his horse and leave his quondam associate to his fate when Lily cppears. She has dared the cold solitude cf Kosciusko peaks in order to evade the petsistent attentions of Blackmore, and fads herself at the mercy of his desperate accomplice.
Jack, however, reaches the scene at this eritical juncture, saves his fancee, and ultimately all brings the Solly wrongdoing and the within principal the Arm Instigator grip of the law. Mr. Bert Bailey as Spinitex bears the burden of the work, and the smart epigrammatic remarks of the Illusionist gave the audience plenty of entertainment. It is a dimcult role to play, but Mr. Bailey never faltered for a moment in quick repartee and alertness of movement.
Miss Ada Oakley, too, played capably as the heruine, Lily Armidale, and Miss Lilias Adeson acted admirably the unscrupulous Alma Blackmore, bate who a "woman pursues and heroine with the of scorned." Miss Laura Roberta furnished piquant study of Ciaste Hillgrove, and Miss Alfred Bevan, the aged spinster, Evangeline Wilberforce Cruickshank, who boasts of her pedigree and her hatred of mere mAn, also did excellent work.

The play was produced under the supervision of Mr. Bailey, with Mr. Harlord as stage manager. HARMONIC CHORAL SOCIETY. choral concert riven by the Sydney Harmonic Choral Society St.
James's Hall on Saturday ing. The efforts of the choir, which was conducted by Mr. W. Bourne, met with hearty response throughout the evening. The programme contained two interesting items by Elgar--the Aret, "My Love Dwelt in a Northern Land," part-song, charmingly rich in melody, sensuous and pleasing to the ear.
The second was the grandly patriotic chorus, "It Comes from the Misty Ages" (Banner of St. George), in which the great chords of the piano accompaniment were eloquently rung out under the playing of Mrs. W. Bourne. In both items the singers were at their best, and, generally speaking, these were the Inost pleasing on the programme.
The ladies' section the chorus was heard effectively in Edward German's the "Orpheus Summer with his Lute" in and West's beautiful "Stars of Night," which the subdued voices perfectly conveyed restful and erotic atmosphere of the summer night, The rest of the programme contained some from oratorio, including "Be not and the great Chorus" from "The Messiah."

It was, when interviewed by the press band your remarks up In writing, and keep a copy. Last evening was rooted out of my family circle to answer a telephone call elsewhere. I found it was the "Herald" seeking information. In reply to his queries I said that, it permitted, intend to reach Melbourne. The omission of the two words "If permitted" Implies that am going to get to Melbourne under all eirc*mstances, whereas I AID endeavouring to proceed constitutionally.
I said little, as I did not seek publicity, preferring to discover my rights in my own way. Again, your Melbourne paragraph alleging that I bad tried to induce the Speaker to Influence the GovernorGeneral to obtain me exemption. Such is not correct. I wrote the Speaker to ascortain his view on the privileges and immunities of members of Parliament, Indicating that I thought tom, precedent, and law favoured Immunity in cases such as mine. He replied, and I submitted further reasons, to which I have not yet received a reply.
Subsequently I appealed to Mr. Groom, Minister in charge, seeking exemption, as provided for in the Quarantine Act, sub-sectiou (d) of 14, which, in my view, was intended to meet such cases. I also applied to Dr. Cumpston for copy of regulations and clause of the Act under which they were acting. have since seen Dr.
Reid, and was permitted to see regulation governing exemptions, penalties, etc. Finding such enabled the Director of Quarantine to grant exemptions in case of serious illness, sudden death of relatives, and to those proceeding on urgent public business under specided conditions, I am inclined to think come under the latter, and having so stated my opinion to Dr. Reid be undertook to forward wire to director, applying for such exemption, and stating result of bis examination of previous vaccination marks. Thus it will be seen that I have openly endeavoured to use every constitutional and legal means of securing the right to pursue my Important public duty. I am not going to Ay over; shall proceed quite openly, and am hopeful that on further reflection such right will be granted.
Kindly permit me to add that I am a pronounced opponent of vaccination except as a last resort. I consider the risk is too great for the immunity assured, and such should pot be imposed other than to actual contacts. It would be a bard task for the authorities to convince many who are mournwug the lass of relatives that such was not due to recent vaccination, and hundreds who have survived after keen suffering would not risk a repetition. 1 had a very close call on the last occasion, and one of my sisters showed the result of it until she passed away. Hence I feel that I cannot take the risk unless I become a close contact; then only as the lesser of two evils.

All was galety and grace at Her Mejesty's Theatre on Saturday night, when Adeline Gence introduced an enchanting entertainment of the lightest character, but eminently imbued with poetry and refinement.
Playgoers who had not seen quite the same kind of programme on the local stage before were impressed by the fact that everything was tonishingly well done. An excellent orchestra, under the baton of Mr. C. J. M.
Gluser, played the most fascinating music, the new WolfeFerrari operetta had been admirably chosen for an old-fashioned tuneful charm, which harmonised with the general scheme of the evening, the scene- painting transported the audience to worlds of ideal beauty, and the dancing in every scene was superb. Giving delicacy of tone and radiance of colour to the recollection of the whole was the art of Genee, whose distinctive possession is a verve expressed through an exquisite finish. The praise which Voltaire bestowed upon principal in the ballet, "Les Danaides," just a century id a balf ago, might be repeated by everyone who saw the world-famous Danish dancer on Saturday: "I have special reason to admire you, for I And that all you do is full of I poetry." This suggestion of ethereal lightness and grace springs, not only from ber art. but from her physique, which is frail, fragile, and talry-like. The star dancer represents a pale northern type with flaxen-bair and blue eyes which dart forth girlish glances of innocently mischievous espieglerie.
This expression. and a wide- amazement are most frequently employed in exchange for the smiling charm which every brilliant dancer can exert. The assisting ballerinas are headed by M. Alexander Volinin, an accomplished artist who joins the star tactfully in ber pas de deux, and Mile. Halene Schmolz, whose style is more dramatic than the others, nor must the alluring manner of Mile.
Vlasta Novotna be overlooked. The ballet d'action, "Coppella," bas been arranged by Newetter and Saint Leon from the drat act of "Tales of to music by Leo. Delibes, and the curtain rises upon picturesque village street, with the house and garden of the heroine, Swanilda, on one side, and that of Dr. Coppelius on the other. Frans, betrothed to Swanlida bag fallen in love with life-size doll seated in the Arst door bow -window of the old magician's dwelling.
Hence, after Swanilda has glanced roguishly out upon the scene, she leaves her house to gaze up at the lovely doll, and to dance her "Jealousy Valse" to the rhythmical "swing" of one of Deliber' most famous inspirations. Mile. Genee makes a marvellous entrance on the points of the toes. moving forward quite yard on one foot, and then exhibits all the fascination of her art in the valse. There a masourka by the ballet, the meD in crimBOD velvet Hungarian Hussar uniform, the girls in grey peasant dress, and all alike wearing leather knee-boots, which they stamp In tune to the music.
This forms an animated scene, with Mile. Nevotna and Jan Kawecki, of the Imperial Russian ballet, as principal dancers, In sapphire velvet. Mile. Genee and M. Volinin join in "the adagio, in which the star pirouttes within the embrace of her partner's arms, yet so exactly on tho one spot that he never really touches her.
This formed another technical example of an exquisite Anish. The impetus for the dizzy spin is acquired by a violent but imperceptible movement of the head and shoulders united with sudden swiftness of tempo exerted by the volition of the dancer. little late the music quickened and Mile. Genee then advanced, crossing one toot over the otber, faster than the eye could follow- dimcult manoeuvre, termed by the French ballet the "pas de poure" (with an accent over the Anal During the adagio, Swanlida indicated some rustic custom of bestowing stalk of corn upon her lover, whilst the Australian corps de ballet, grouped to suggest sheaves, resembled (as much as possible) deld of wind -kissed, swaying wheat." The second act shows the workshop of Dr. Coppellus, with life-sized of the doll.
Mephisto, Japanese, and an armoured warrior, amongst which Swanlida and her girlfriends wander curiously, with many comedy expressions of nervous alarm. The orchestra plays a curious kind of staccato, "mechanical" music, to which all the girls dance "In character." and some of the strange figures begin to move.
