CHRISTMAS CONCERT.
A PLEASANT ENTERTAINMENT. Twinkling electric lights and multicolored flare-lights together with its own natural charm and beauty, combined to give Pukekura Park a fairyland appearance on Christmas night, when a concert was given under the auspices of the New Plymouth Sports Ground Committee. Following a day full of sunshine came a delightfully fine moonlight night which enticed many townspeople and visitors out-of-doors to the beautiful environment of the park, and the gate returns yielded £7O, which represents an attendance of about 1500.
The New Plymouth Caledonian Pipe Band marched from town to the grounds, and under the charge of Drummajor Williamson gave several spirited tunes on the pipes. The vocalists of the evening sang from an illuminated platform on the Poet’s Bridge. A cornet solo by Mr. Taylor opened the concert programme and like all who followed, he earned a recall; Mrs. Ferry and Mr. F. P. Frederic, vocal duet; Mr. Baden Bellringer (baritone); Miss Annie White (soprano); Mr. R. L. Lowe, enphonium solo; Mrs. Ferry, song. Proceedings closed with the singing of the National Anthem.
