Lynch Family of Bellringers.

The Assembly Rooms were crowded lust night on tlie appearance of the above family of musicians, and the audience must have gone home thoroughly delighted with the capital entertainment which had been provided for them. This family have lost none of their entertaining powers since their last appearance, and they know exactly whit kind of an entertainment is required to amuse an audience. The hearty applause which was given last night at the conclusion of the various items proved that the efforts of the different members of tbe company were much appreciated. One cannot say too much of the delightful music which is produced from the bells, these instruments being manipulated in a wonderfully clever manner. However there are many who preferred the beautifully soft and delicious music which was produced from the glassophones, and it is marvellous that such a volume of sound with such clear and distinct notes can be obtained from such a simple source. The Lynch Family is considerably strengthened by the addition of the " English Specialty rfumonists." The singing of Mr A. W. Hulme, who possesses a line baritone voice, was much admired, and he was vociferously encored forhis rendering of "Plymouth Sound," and " Queen of the Earth." In Irish character impersonations Mr J. E. Collins is inimitable, and he kept the house in roars of laughter. Mr Ford was also heartily applauded for his comic singing, while he displayed an amount of dramatic ability in his recitation " Kissing Cup." Messrs R. R. and W. Lynch were very amusing in their comic duet "Facts, 'and their re-appearance wu insisted on. The entertainment was concluded by a most laughable farce entitled " Five shillings a Week."
