TJie.iWanganui Herald says that "Lis line flaying roused the audience to a high pitch of enthusiasm, and more than once he bad to return and play again," and tile difficulties of the works are no inn re, to him "than playing marbles would be to the ordinary boy." liis achievements since the age of six are believed to be witljout a parallel in the world's history, of child violin celebrities.

It is urged that by their patronage the people of New Zealand will not only encourage a most laudable aim, but in the delightful entertain- | incut ull'ered by this marvellous child will receive more than value for the money spent.
