THE CITY BAND AT THE BLUFF.

On Wcclnesdaylasfc this popular band gave one of those concerts which! are now so looked forward to at the Bluff. Being a promenade concert, the major portion of-’the programme consisted of operatic and other selections by the band. Miss Geddes sang several songs in he customary good style —one of which (“Mona”) so charmed her audience that they insisted on an encore, the lady gracefully complying by singing ‘’Jessie, theFlower o’ Dumblane.” The chief feature of the evening was undoubtedly Mr P. H. Mohr’s cornet solo, the “ Caimival de Yenise.” _ This gentleman has already created for himself a name as a soloist in this colony and in Australia, so that it is scarcely necessary to state thot his rendition of the well-known carnival, as usual, fairly brought down, the house. His encore piece, “ The Keel Row,” still further delighted-his hearers. The evenng wound up with a most delightful'dance," the music for which being supplied by Miss Geddes and Mr McGregor leaves it unnecessary to say that everybody thoroughly enjoyed themselves. The band put up at the Bay Yicw Hotel, returning to town by the 8 a.m. train on Thursday, all feeling highly pleased >vith the kindness and attention of Host Metzger.
