Amusement Notes.
Manager Harris has added quite an inn
provement to his theatre, the Biiou in
the shape of large sliding roof, which
thoroughly ventilates the auditorium
and keeps it comfortably cool. This ad-
dition, in conjunction with an excellent
list of attractions, should certainly war
rant liberal patronage.
Some very fine wrestling matches have
been given at Kernan's during the past
week. Last night Evan Lewis, the cham
pion catch-as-catch.ca wrestler tried to
throw Jack Karkeek who has had several
bouts with Muldoon. The bout lasted
nineteen minutes and half when Lewis
obtained fall. Muldoon and Lewis had
15minute bout on Thursday night
without fall being obtained. Tonight
they try 1t again.
