AMY CASTLES' FAREWELL CONCERT. There can be 110 two opinions as to the unique position held by Miss Amy Castles in the musical world of Australia. That Miss Castles has fulfilled the predilections set forth for her in the early days has been amply evidenced by her recent glorious triumphs in Australasia in Signora Adora and grand opera. For one so young Miss Castles' achievement is nothing short of marvellous, and the wonderful impression created in New Zealand by her magnificent singing with the recent grand opera company leaves people wondering as to what great heights of fame this young and gifted artist may eventually'attain. The Theatre Royal will lie-the scene of her only concert here on Monday, '.March 20. Ilerr Alexander Camphausen, the famous bass baritone, from Leipsic, will be heard to advantage in a number of popular items. It is some years since Herr Louis Ilattenbacli has delighted Australian audiences by his magnificent "performance on the 'cello, but then no one has come forward tonisurp the proud position he undoubt- ■ ed.ly holds' amongst musicians in Australasia.
