Amongst the audience was tho lato Sir John Hull's 6on. Kaiapoi was tho next triumph, for, on nr. rival there by coach, with a nico lady companion, members of tho Society saw a fine" band in front of tho hall, which latter was packed. Before tho itom of Wellington's leading Contralto came on his fair Coach Companion sang a nico Contralto song. Following her beautiful voice, ho overheard on his way to the stage a follow Malo Alto from York Cathodral say: "Lot them have it." Tho unacuompanled song met with spontaneous success with shouting, and aftir a timo, hearing voices from Ills follow-aiemberß to "'go back" (his Conductor dragging him), he returned and gave tho r.ncoro number. At tho supper, ho was introduced to the Honourable Mr. Buddo nnd his daughters, and tho party, through Mr. Buddo, -wished him to sing the unaccompanied number again; Spaco will not permit of Riccarton succosscs, but in Australia, with tho consent of his Cathodral Choirmaster (with ability), -who coached him, he cnterod aminst all comers for tho Contralto and McjzoSoprano items in ong of the great, State Musical Competitions Tho Organlßt, fanoying him for the Contralto.item, and ho himself preferring the Mezzo Soprano, they, between thom (beinir oloin friends), had ft little on.
