A holiday auuienco greeted C»*v wall's Banjo, Mandolin and Gulim: Club at the Theatre lloyal on Monday night. The club has always bueii popular with the .New .Plymouth public, and it is doubtful whether they ever received better return for tfleir patronage than on Monday night, the concert provided was in u\ery way excellent. -Nothing could be better in the way of music from stringed instrument than the various selections by tile band, and the banjo items were ulso much appreciated. Hearty applause greeted Hie opening selections, ami as each one was ren'lered the audience grew more and mora demonstrative in their approbation, and people, and players were on tile best of terms right through liie evening. Thy full band selections which seminal to earn the warmest appluusw were •'The Darkies' lireuni," "1101110 Love," "Popular Melodies," and "The Grenadiers' Uarch Past." In every one the musicians played in splendid time and lime, a result which must have been pleasing indeed to the promoters of the band in the first instance. The banjo quintette, played by Messrs l'\ Cornwall, Medley, ISayley, ltoss and Ulwlcombe, evidenced much skill and teclmicpie. Those who flock to hoar I ravelling musicians, and, neglect our own local talent, missed some pianoforte ami violin solos that were well wonJi especial remark. The piano-fm-h- solo by Mr 11. .1.
