SUN DAY-SCHOOL CONCERT.

IN CONNECTION WITH HOLY TRINITY CHURCH.

A most enjoyable evening was spent \ by the parents and otfiers^Hvho : attended the concert given by the Simday School children of Holy Trinity Church last eveningJf.k<As a rulerjuili entertainments of this kind, friends of the children come jilst to show their interest and see what the little ones can do but in this case if any had come with such an intention it was speedily forgotten in the pleasure which was derived by all from the excellent programme and the finished manner in which the items were performed. Certainly those responsible for the preparation of the numerous pieces have every reason to be proud of the result of their work. Commencing with a violin solo by Master A. Hudson, there followed an illustrated isong entitled "Love at Home," which was very sweetly rendered and prettily staged. A surprise'awaited the audience in the duet sung by the Misses Hazel and Winnie Wolfe. It is unusual to find two children of their age possessing voices which blend so well, and who sing in so pleasing a manner. This item received a well-deserved encore. A good deal of amusement was derived from the song i"0 boys, carry me' along," by two coloured personages,. Miss Black Juliet and Mr Part White, the hitter's somewhat eccentric movements causing considerable amusement to the younger members of the audience. Miss Liddington gave a humorous recitation which was followed by a lullaby by a number of the children. One of the most pleasing items was the song "Good-night Number One," in which six of the very little ones showed in a pretty way how to retire for the night when told. In the second part of the programme after a march song and a violin solo, a mushroom song by Miss Gladys Black with a chorus was rendered. .Master C. Fookes made an excellent frog under the shadow of a famour mushroom and showed no mean ability in the matter of froggy modes of progression. He certainly looked and acted his part well. Then came a number of fairies who danced very gracefully. and after them the audience were treated to a view of a gipsy encampment with an appropriate song. At the close of a short rending by tec Vicar, it was announced that the latest consignment of Parisian hats had arrived, and would be displayed 'ln the Darkies who were to perform in a song and Cakewalk. This the lasl item, caused roars of laughter, and closed a programme of more than ordinary merit.

At the special request of a mini hoi' of the audience it is hoped to reproduce the programme with some now items on Thursday, 9th May.
