Patea Mail, 29 September 1882, Page 3

Kakaramea entertainment last night was numerously attended, the Patea brass band and other visitors helping to vary the programme, and enliven the dancing which followed. The band played the overture to the “ Pirates of Penzance,” and did good service in playing dance music later on. Among the noticeable features in the programme, Miss Gowland and Mrs Finch sang the duet “ Juaneta,” their voices blending nicely. Mrs Finch also sang “ Better bide a-wee.” Miss North’s singing was pleasing, and another Patea lady sang two pieces, one from Tennyson. Little Miss Jacomb’s playing on the piano was considered remarkable for one so young. Mr F. Gray sang “Wrecked and Saved,” and the “ Slave Ship.” Mr Herbert’s “ Cuckoo Notes ” went well; and Mr Kendall’s two tenor songs were successful. Comic recitations and other pices added to the variety. Dancing followed, about 30 couples keeping it up with spirit. We understand that, in consequence of the auditor’s report upon the accounts as kept by the County Clerk, a special meeting of the Council is called for Saturday. The contractor for Bedford street formation and other borough works will commence operations on Monday. He is in want of workmen.
