CONNEIL CONCERT COMPANY.

Uaiibly are we afforded an opportunity of hearing a New Ze ibnd singer who is, so to spsiik, out of the ruck, but on We"in'.sday evening next'we are promised a visit from a young lady who can fairly lay eluira to be something quite above the ordinary, and whose beautifully trained voice has won for her the enconiums of press and public. M. ; ss Kate CVmel], it will be known to our readers is a Taranaki native, who, pos-es-.ed a voice of rare qualify, has had is trained until now she is ad-1 rnitted to be one of the best singers on the colonial concert stage; one who has, bar accidents, rv.iry chance of attaining a place in the front rank ef singers. This is a big order, but ex-1 ports are our authority for the statement.' Referring to the young lady,; the Free Lance (Wellington) says:— " Miss Connell's voice is a rich soprano of rpmarkable power and flasibility, and when she is in England, where she is going almost immediately for completing her studies, the people of New land will have th« same interest in her progress as the Victorians have shown in their Madame Melba and Amy Cashes, or the Tasmanians in their Amy Sherwln and Ada Crossley. The Ohava'ier de Konski having heard her sing in Hawera soino years ago, wrote her thn following letter:—" Dear Miss Kato Coniiell, I heard you with great pleasure. Your voice is very clear and and I am sure you will become a noted singer." Miss Connoll won the gold medal of tho Rojml Academy, for Aus'ralasia, she having the highest number of points yet obtained.
