Holiday-making was in the air yester-' day, and all.the city seemed to be seized with the desire to -make merry in .some form ■ or. another. The day was : absolutely perfect,., tho sun shining. . brightly,/. - the. harbour'.' dimpling and glinting ; in" its "rays, and the trees and the. grass everyr where inviting one to a closer,companionship ; with them. It would .. -have •_: m eant either. a great depres'sion of - spirit or else an. alarmingly weighty mind. '. that could.-.not'--respond to , their ; influence. Picnic parties were plentifully: in: evidence, ' and: full of. enjoyinent at the very idea of getting: away, from town. In tho morning quito an inspiriting ■ little scene took place at all the schools, where, upon the moment of the unfurling: of the flag, the children saluted it arid then sang "God Save the King." " Things like-that must surely, help to keep alive the. spirit .of patriotism in these days when :.the pessimist declares that the call; of country and kin'shiplis .lacking.'in responso. In tho aiternoon trams arrived , at the Neirtown . Park simply laden with people. How tho latter- manago to present such, an unrumpled appearance' after all' thoclose; packing they; endured is'.'a' riddle; but., still they do. The .arrival of the Pipe Band proved 'to. be <a ; ; source of supreme joy:- and rapture.!to; numbers of small boys, who followed it up in slavish a;dmiration, iinable ■! to ' tear "themselves away till ;it becomes lost to them upon tho parade ground. ' ' . : ' ;NewtoTO 'Park, is: a "most .'delightful ■ place upon a fine day for such an event as the demonstration of the cadets, .' the. hillsides being a' most satisfactory, . place from-' which to view what 'is/taking place down below, .while the. trees form a - delightful shade under ' which to sit; when tho "sun is too strong. Yesterday, thiese hiUsides" and| ; banks . were' simply covered . with. people,yandvalive -;wi.th movement, as is tho case when, a multitude comes'' together, and everyone being keenly, ifc ; terested in 1 the movements of. the cadets Ijelow. In places: one might, almost have, imagined the banks to be a human poppy ,bed,'. :sp' bright were the colours of the dresses wo'rn/and'so .vividly did -they show up against the green background. ■ "Children and /babies '. were there in hundreds—, biie might say' thousands—and, every now and. again "all," the babies about would 'take,it into" their heads; to■ cry, one after the.other, usually ending up with a grand chorus. ■ -'/■: - : r • -It was quite:amusing the com-_ ments of some of the, schoolchildren." Some . of i the- little: girls wero filled with : il)ride,;4t ;the -;way, :iri which,,,the,;.,cadets, .belonging: to their school went through their Evolutions, and perhaps it was just as well for-their modesty that the boys did not :hear itheir praise. /, h ■ ' r /His Excellency, ■' Lord - Islihgton,'. accom-' panied by Lady, Islihgtoh,'was'present at the demonstration. .. The Prime. Minister. (Sir; Joseph Ward) and lady. Ward; with several '•' members', of-:: the' • Ministry .and their wives, also attended it.. L .-. A Young Auckland Soprano, ' ; -The' j Auckland • "Herald" -says:—Those interested in, the": musical future of Miss Kitty Campion, the young Auckland: so.whose; voice : has been;--laudably spoken{ of recently by. Madame Calve, mustered largely at the Choral Hall on Saturday evening. ; The occasion was -the special;- concert, organised -by . Messrs. .J. and .'N. 'Tdit prior to'Miss'Campibn's departure : to" Paris to pursue her vocal - studies under; the highest miidcal authbr- '.: ,musical;' enthusiasts; havehad: few , opportunities :of hearing. Misis Campion, . therefore -Madame ' Calve's,: r<H ' 'cent; pfonquncemeht;- upon tho superior quality-of .tho young. singer's voice came somewhat as a bolt; from- the blue upon the majority. Her' voice : as displayed at Saturday's concert / is. ofunusual range,. ; and generally .of "unerring accuracy.. As .regards-intonation, it'is of light calibre, and /the' future ,will/show .whether; Miss ;Campion, will bo better suited in' arduous .operatic: roles than in concert work. .The' organ, is' flexible and well' under control while tar altissimo,. notes' as .displayed in ;the exacting ./operaticexcerpt "Caro Nomo," from: Verdi's "Rigoletto," are voiced; with' surprising skill; considering her necessarily limited experience. . In this number, sung in the original Italian, the detached quavers -were clearly given, while, the transitory shakes arid multitude of braces of semiquavers,-embodying; awkward phrasings, as .well as the" florid runs and : cadenza running down from A high B; 'arid afterwards soaring to.'the C-sharp.-in alt.,: displayed vocal agility of a high order. Another;brilliant operatic number -was, the recitative "Ah Tardai .Trop-: po, ■' and the ensuing.; Cavatina, "0. Luce di Quest Anima," .Vi.from r Donizetti's' "Linda di' Cliamonrix." The recitative displayed breadtlr-of treatment .and intelligent . phrasing, -while, the , aria' follow'ing.. with- its' staccato syllables and plenfi- • tude: of high'notesi the wlilole culininat-' ing- in upward semiquaver rushes to the C. in ' alt.,; prior to. the" closing bars, surprised many "present by tho uniform excellence of ~its: vocalisation. A smooth, and'.expressive . rendering of . Godard's ."Angels ; Guard Thee"" and ' the Bach 'Gounod- "Ave-Maria" ;.were Miss Campion's'': other, programme , numbers.. Hor receptions were: of the heartiest. She was warmly encored, after cach appearance, and. also,; received' several. beautiful floral offerings. ... • A very delightful evening was given the other evening 'by Mr. and Mrs. Queree in' Boiilcott Chambers, to celebrate the twentieth birthday of Miss Renee Queree.
