SHANNON NOTES.

(Own Correspondent.) The annual school concert was held in the Druids’ Hall, Shannon, on Friday evening. The Hall was packed to the doors, and many were also looking through the wiudbws from the outside. All the items by the school children were well received, and among those which perhaps call for special comment was the physical drill by the upper standard boys, who did credit to themselves and their instructor, Mr J. J, Trainer. The liitle girls iu “Rhymes” did famously, Louie Dauials, who recited “The Goblins,” promises to be a competition performer of no mean order. An Irish gig, danced by four little girls iu costume, pleased everybody—including: several Scotsmen. A number of little boys and girls, representing different trades, overshadowed everything yet seen on. the stage in Shannon. Mr Jamieson was heard to advantage in his humorous song, “Piccadilly” ; Queeuie Merwood sung “Grow, Little Mushroom, Grow” ; the popular Mr Bovis deserved, and received, an encore for his humorous sang, “Turn Over” ; Miss Laurvig sung pleasingly “The Toilers’’ ; “Killarney,” by six little girls, was a real good item ; a duet by G, and R. Merwood was the best item of the kind during the evening ; Mr Thompson sang, “Out Where the Breakers Roar” ; a piano solo by Miss Coll, and a step dance by Mr Curren brought a most enjoyable entertainment to a close. Mr Richardson thanked the audience for their presence, and the hall was then cleared for dancing.
