MAOai. BAND AND GLEE PARTY

On Monday evening next the Maori Agricultural College band of musicians will give a concert in the Te Kuiti Picture Palace. In several towns in the Wellington province the combination has given many successful entertainments, and the following is an extract from the Wanganui Chronicle commenting on the band's concert in that town:—The members of the band are all young men under the leadership of Mr Walter Smith,himself a native recently returned from America. The programme consisted of college songs, glees, choruses, bana selections, mandolin and guitar performance?. The band items, although very good for a college performance, showed evidence of the very short period which haa elapsid Bince the band was taken in hand, but tha choruses and mandolin items were very good indeed. Mr Walter Smith, the conductor, ia an artist on his own instrument, and his mandolin solos were very fine indeed. Taken altogether performance was a very creditable one, ind a feature of the concert was the refined nature of the contributions. We predict a full houre for the combination this evening, when thsy will give their second entertainment.
