The alround excellence and versatility of the concert programme to be submitted to the pubj|c in the Town Hall to-night should a large audience. The promoters have spared neither expense or trouble in securing the best talent available. In this connection the services of Mr F. G.

Miss Hanlon, of Palmerston N., who has previously appeared before a Foxton audience, is a popular singer, also Miss Kearns, of Palmerston N. Lance-Corporal W. B. Kcaney will supply the comic element.
