TE HORO.

SCHOOL CONCERT. The concert held at the Te Horo Public Hall on Friday last in connection with the Te Horo school was generally recognised as one of the best and most enjoyable held in that township. Despite the number of counter-attrac-tions in the district, there was a very largo audience, and all present spent a very happy time. The first portion of the programme comprised items by the adults, the following contributing:— Overture, Miss Alberta Muir; song. Mr G. W. Kirk; duct. Miss Evan and Master N. Wind ley (encored); song, Miss Addio Fielding; song, Mr Cooper (encored); musical monologue, Miss May Windley (encored); song. Miss Diaper (encored). The items were all excellent and much appreciated. The second half of the programme was taken up by a children’s play, entitled “Red Cap in Fairyland,” by tho school children. This occupied about an hour, and was really one ef the finest efforts ever made by children in this district. The singing was splendid, the children keeping very good timo, and their harmony being excellent. The costuming and general arrangements were also admirable and well thought out, the whole effect being most pleasing. Mr Kirk (headmaster), who trained the children at short notice, and Misses Ivy Windley and Hagan, who lent valuable assistance with the costumes and staging, fully deserved the hearty congratulations they received, and have every reason to be proud of the result of their efforts. The play was a great success in every way, and the largo audience was delighted with it Miss Phyllis {Maddams supplied the accompaniments for the play, and MBs A. Muir for the adults’ item.?. Afterwards a splendid lot of prizes were distributed by Mr H. Catley (chairman of the School Committee). Supper was then served and dancing indulged in, the music being supplied by Mr H. L. Beauchamp.
