The young Scotch comedian, Master Winstone McCarthy, of Wellington, in "Roamin' in the Gloamin,'" gave a splendid imita.tion of Harry Lauder. Recalled, he showed his versatility by singing "Michael Cassidy, V.C.," and was aa successful in his characterisation of an Irishman as that of a Scotsman Again he was recalled, and even then the audience were reluctant to let him go. The pageant of the Allies was well staged, reflecting credit on Mrs. and Miss Edwards, of Hawera, who were in charge. The nations were impersonated as follows, the dancers being given in parentheses: England, Misses M. Hewes and M. Jans (Misses K. Taylor a»d E. Tong); Ireland, Misses B. Sheehan and V.
