Speaking of the Welilngtoir Season 'the of April 22nd, says: "As was the case with the original Ksk Jubilee Singers the new. combination, which opened a season most auspiciously at the Town. Hall Concert Chamber on •Saturday night, make a decided, feature ,of concerted numbte. Thja J&bilee iehoruses, especially, are marvels of well lattuned harmony and gradations of Itonal power, ranging from St real pianlissimo to fortissimo. The former we 'rarely get in Wellington, and to all J choirs these Jubilee Singers provide a jmost admirable example to be earnestly studied.

The Company will appear at the Empire theatre on Wednesday and Thursday, August 7th and Bth.. The box plan opens at. Collier's on Saturday (morning:.
