Concert at Colyton.

A concert was hold in the Colyton j Hall last evening in aid of the Church of England building fund, but owing to the rough weather the attendance was not so large as the quality of the entertainment deserved. The following programme was gone through : — Pianoforte duet, Misses Lewis and Garlick ; song, ''Jack's Yarn," Rev Innes Jones; song. "Douglas Gordon," Miss Fry, who gave " When Tenderly and Loving " in response to an encore ; glee, " Sweet and Low,,' Misses Diamond and Lewis, Messrs Jones, Matheson, and Johnston ; an amusing recitation, " Betsy and I are out," Mr Johnston ; " Star of Bethelhem" was really well sung by Mrs West, who responded to an encore with " Daddy " ; Misses Diamond and Lewis sang "Oh tell her I love her co " as v duet ; and Mr Matheson sang " King David." In the second part Miss Lewis played a pianoforte overture; Miss Diamond sang Gounod's Serenade, with violin oblignto by Mr S. Moore, nnd had to repe t tlie 1.i.-t verse in response to an encore; Misses Lewis nnd Diamond, Mcs-rs Jones, Mntlieson, and Johnston sang the glee " Oh, who will o'er the downs so free,'" ; Miss Fry sang " I've something sweet to tell you " ; Mrs West was encored for her splendid rendition of " Listening," and repeated a verse ; Mr Johnstone recited ''The Vagabond "; Mrs Bryant was encored for the song " Asthore," and repeated a verse ; Miss Diamond sang "Marguerite." The ac companiments were played by Miss Lewis and Mr Moore. Had the weather been fin 9no doubt a laige audience would have rewarded Miss Lewis and her assistants for the energetic way in which they worked to provide a pleasant evening's mmi-ement, and if they get np another concert at a fivure date we would strongly recommend our Colytoa readers who are fond of good music to attend and they will not be disappointed.
