Mr Vowlos sang, " Beloved star" and " Little Jessie." but did not seem up to bia usual standard. Firemnn Wright contributed "LaniupjanVßalJT' and " Bahy mine.?' This gentleman possesses a good style and stago appearance, butTsadly lacks the greatest necessity for a singer— a good voice. However, his jig put a rood finish to an indifferent song. Mr C. McLiver in " Friar of Orders Grey" did not shine na great a« at a previous ' concert. Miss Brown sang, "The female auctioneer," "Miss Brady's piano-for-tay," and "Riding on a load of hay," ali in a pleasing and taKinj* manner. Prom Mr Wiseman we had three locals, " The pig bye-law," "Amalgamation," and "The Fireman " (with tableau). Miss C'onroy sang "Jessie's Dream" and was loudly applauded. Mr Jim McLiver's " Comicalities " and. "Specialities" almost drove the audience frantic with mirth. Mr Catran sang " The Flying Dutchman "in splendid style, and deserved the applause he received.
