The following paragraph was accidentally left out of our last Tuesday’s issue the dissolving views entertainment and concert in aid of the funds of the Gisborne Library came off on Saturday last, but owing no doubt to the surfeit of entertainments we have had lately, was not very well attended. A capital selection of views were shown both of London and the continental cities, 'and a series of 16 pictures told the story of Gabriel Grubb. A number of mechanical devices were introduced, the Invisible Drawing Master being especially attractive. Songs by Miss Shelton, Madame Stewart, and Mr Shelton were also successfully given, and the exhibition of the Local Portrait Gallery evoked much applause. The candidates for the House and the late member for the district were naturally the pictures which aroused the most interest. Miss Porter played the accompaniments and some of the incidental music. Mr Crawford assisted Mr Hansard in working the lantern, and Mr Wilson acted as lecturer. A vote of thanks was accorded to Mr Hansard at the close of the entertainment for hie kindness in giving hie services.
