A report of the recent New Plymouth convention — the largest ever held in New Zealand — was given by one of the delegates, Mrs. Houlder, and a hearty vote of thanks for it was passed. It Li to be discussed at next meeting. ]Mr. Ernest Parkes ought to be delighted with the enthusiasm displayed at the concert last night. He showed his appreciation by the feeling evinced I in nis littl© speech that followed the ! singing of "For -He's a Jolly Good Fellow ' in cordial response to the Mayor's suggestion. It was such an excellent programme that it is difficult to single I out any item, but the trio by Miss \ Richmond, Miss Donaldson, and Mr. Johostomv— although it was a class of music noil so widely popular as the coon sont; or the opera melody — certainly met with huge approval. The choruses, too, were listened to with delight, arid Miss May Newman's sweet singing was rew irded by two ' lovely baskets of flowers. She wore a pretty white frock, with fringe and "gold embroideries, Mrs. Suti'liffe an effective red ninon gown, and MissEichmond's dainty dress was- of dee]) cream striped net over silk. Miss Donaldson, wore a white silk, "with a tunic of spangled chiffon, and Miss Gladys Watkins's frock was of green &ilk, with an ovei dress of silver-spangled net. Mrs. Moi'tague wore black brocade. Mrs. WiFord was in cream silk, with a lovely silver-embroidered wrap, Mrs. Coul'l wore black satin and a pretty rosecoloured coat, Mrs. Fraser black satin, and Miss Maltby a 'green silk, with black lace and oriental embroideries. The committee who arranged the concert deserve the heartiest congratulations on the success they achieved, and ths audience certainly was rewarded with a concert far above the average j merit. Mr. Parkes himself sang magnificently. ! M\ and Mrs. J. G. Marshall, of 46 Adelaide-road, gave a kitchen supper in honour ot Miss Alice Anderson, of Abel Smith-street, who is to bo married on 26th April to Mr. Walter Douglas. The numerous guests entered ' heartily into the spirit of the function, and the collection of kitchen utensils, etc., will pwide the prospective bride with practically all she needs in that respect. Mrs. Neall. of Brighton, daughter and heiress of the* late Mr. G. K. Bering, the hermit squire of Welwyn, Herts, made recently (states the London, Daily Mail) a first inspection of Loekley Hall, the fine house in which her father lived as a recluse and a bachelor for many years. Mr. Dering, who left property worth over £250,U00, was married &t Brighton in another name. He had houses there, in one of which his wife lived, and where foe paid periodical visits i until her death in 1894. His daughter Was born there, and never entered Loekley Hall until after her father's '.death a. few weeks ago. Mr. Deriag had a wonderful collection of pictures and other valuable objects at WeWyn, and the preliminary survey of these is now completed. Many vi tlie pictures which have been renting had been lying for -many years on the floors. There is it Holbein landscape, a beautiful Virgin and Child of Bartholomeo, two Velazquez, a very beautiful Venus and Adonis of Titian, a fine Heinbva-ndfc head, a peasant girl by Hoppner (which is perhaps the gem of the collection), a number of fine Dutch masters — two of i?ir Peter Lely*s, a^id a reputed Raphael. Some of these are now hung In the Art Room, where it> also Lome statuary, most of which was bought at the Paris Exhibition of 1862. The chief of these is a figure of a woman in white marble by Monti, entitled "The 6lee-p of sorrow and the dream of joy.' One of the nlodt interesting of the curios is- the original box and figure with which Maskelyne and Cook performed their vanishing lady trick by means of magnifying glass and reflectors. To antiquarians by far the most valuable things in the house are the- itncieilt remains dug up during the making of the new road which Mr. Dering built. These have been examinsd by well-known archaelogists such as P.'ofessor Boyd Dawkins, Mr. Arthur Evans, and Mr. A. H. Smith, of the British Museum, and appear conclusively to be Celtic reriiaims. They consist of five fine earthenware amphora?, some silver cup&. iron implements, and a piece of a jawbone. A GENUINE HAIR GROWER.
