FAMOUS LADIES’ PIPE BAND.

TOWN HALL TO-NIGHT A,T 8 p.m. The skirl of the pipes and the twirl of the kilts has ever been a call to run and take notice, but when the pipers and the wearers of the kilts are ladies, then it may be accepted that speed records will be broken.

The Austraian Ladies’ Pipe Band, which will appear in the Town Hall to-night (Thursday), for one night only. They are engaged to tour the world, and the reception given them throughout all the States in Australia and New Zealand warrants the anticipation of triumphant march to the tune of their own pipes. Not only are they gifted pipers, but in song, story, and in the dance they are pre-eminent. The band is led by Drum-Major William Darwin, F.R.G.S., magnificent in the tartan of the Royal Macduff. lie is the only man.
