THE CLARK-CHRISTIAN ENTERTAINMENTS.
The second of these entertainments took place last night, and attracted a good audience to the Oddfellows Hall. Mr Clark’s recitations included selections trom both Tennyson and Longfellow, as well as some scenes from the works of his favourite Dickens. Miss Christian’s songs included “The lime trees by the river,’ and in response to a persistently demanded encore she gave “ Strangers yet.” Miss Christian also, was good natured enough to responded the appeals of the audience after singing Lome back to Erin,” and sung “Oh, take me to thy heart again,” thus giving five songs in the room of the three for which she was set down in the programme. Though this no doubt was a source of enjoyment to her hearers, yet it is rather hard that such demands should be made upon the lady, and though, as far as we are we should be glad to hear Miss Christian in as many songs as she could sing during the evening, yet no one could blame her if she refused to accede to encores that, to say the least of them, are unreasonable. This evening Mr Clark will repeat his lecture on Ihe Tower of London,” and Miss Christian during the evening will sing * ‘ Oh, rest in the Lord,” from the oratorio of “Elijah, and the ballad “ Auld Robin Gray.”
