Blanche Carelli, lyric soprano, Scot Gibson, Scotch comedian, 1 and Jack Knowles, coon singer, were well recoived. To-night a complete change of the programme is announced, when the company, will put on an entirely new "Picnic first, part. : '

WANGANUI, GARKISON BAND. Bandsmen and musical people i will be sure to take a great interest in the concert to be given at tho Town Hall by the Wanganui Garrison Band on Thursday evening. This band is on its way to the big brass band contest to ,'be held at Ballarat, and from the record to its credit ! is thoroughly capable of upholding the honour of the Dominion in Australia. At Thursday's concert;the programme will include that most; difficult

"Valkyrie" selection; which; was played hero by the BessesV th' Barn Band, but which has, never yet been. attempted by an amateur band in New Zealand.- It is the band's own test selection, so that an' estimate of the calibre of the visiting band can easily be formed.' All will be glad, too, to hear v Lieutenant J Buckley's cornet playing once'more.'". j :
