ANDREW BLACK.

THE FAMOUS BARITONE. Messrs. J. and N. Tait, the wellknown concert managers, who lately gave us the opportunity of seeing the famous " Living London" pictures, announce that thev have completed arrangements for Mr Andrew Black, the celebrated baritone, who is at present touring New Zealand, to give one of his concerts at New Plymou.h on the sth June. Mr Black's reputation as a singer has reached us from all over tho colony, and in each of the places that he has yisitcd nothing but tho most enthusiastic reports have reached us. Mr Black's last concert in the Wellington Town Hall was the scene of tremendous enthusiasm, and the hall was overcrow led in all parts. It was the intention of the management to only visit the large centres with Mr Black, ns he must be back in London for the Handel Festival, but the Messrs. Tiit were so satisfied with the patronage accorded their " Living London" entertainment that they decided to give ug the deservo 1 opportunity of hearing one of the greatest singers of the present day. Mr Black's singing of the ever popular song '* Nazareth," created a furore at tho Wellington concert, and was repeated by request with organ accompaniment. With such a complete artist is this, and singing such a song with organ accompaniment, one can imagine tho tremendous effect that must have b;cn caused by it. There can bo little doubt that Mr Black is a singer of the first rank, and he is looked upon in England and Australia as being the legitimate succesor of Charles Santley. Wiih Mr Black, is Miss Ethel Sinclair, a splendid young violiniste, and Hcrr Adolphe Borschke, solo pianist, who is desoribed as being quite the best pianist to have visited the colonios since the famous Padorewski. Full particulars will be advertised shortly
