" The last muster " and in response to the encore phe simply bowed her thanks ; the vocal duet " The happy hunter " by the Misses Sullivan and Gallagher had to be repeated ; •• The Lady, of the Lea " was next given by Misa M. Wallace and the last verse was repeated; Miss Gallagher then played brilliantly the " March des Militaire " and received hearty ap plause ; •• The promise of life " was next sung by Misa Sullivan; and then a. piano duet •• The Spanish Dance " was played by the Misses Sullivan ; Mr then gave one of his patter sketches which pleasantly concluded the evening. It is well to remember that our visitors who from the programme will be seen took the heavy burden of the work, had previously bern singing at concerts the two nights previously and • thus it was almost too much for the audience to ask for so many repetitions, end in cases where their request was not complied with, it must be seb down to the work the singers had done and not from any desire not to please. It is evident that the ladies have secured for themselves a most favourable reception and we shall all be looking forward to another chance of enjoy ing their musical talents, and we hope their stay will be lengthened so that an opportunity will be given to show them a little hospitality in exchange. The accompaniments during the evening were played by the Misses Sullivan and Gallagher and Mrs F. B. Young. A word of praise is due to those who had charge of the stage arrangements for tho homely comfortable look they im parted to it. Mr Alf. Fraser made an excellent stage manager, and Mr McDermott as doorkeeper and Mr P. Hennetsy in charge of the hall were men in their right places.
