[ We learn that Mr John R.

Dancing will commence at eight'o'clock.! , ~'" t The Champion four oared outrigger race' Will start, at twelve sharp to-morrow.' | A capital concert in aid of- the-funds/of : the Rowing Club'was givenat the Provincial Hall last night, and considering the'various attractions in other places, was very well attended, all the front seats being well filled. [ The' ladies ahd gentlemen who had , kindly; given their services for the occasion showed; that: they, must have practised .-hard at the Concerted pieces, and the audience were ap-. parently delighted with the result. Several a^los and duetts .were sung and encored with ir-an! ear richness that would tike np refusal, a conferred on a juvenile violinist", who, A^cbmpahied by his ' sister ou the piano, played a roost difficult niece with exquisite taste and skill.
