Mr Alfred Hill, conduotor of the Exhibition Orchestra, who haß just returned from Australia, stated in an interview, yesterday (says a Christchurch telegram) that the orchestra was to consist of fifty-six members. Thirty players had been engaged, including New Zealand players, and arrangements were made for twehty-six more. The leader of the orchestra was to be Mr George Weston, who had led the Comen Orchestra at the Melbourne Exhibition, and the Victorian Orchestra, which suooeeded that. Mr Cyril Monk, who was just fresh from his Buocessful career in London, was to be deputy-leader. Other performers ncluded such well-known players as Kuhr (horn) Birese (bass) and Olive (clarionette). Daughter: "Is this not a nice picture that Cousin Clara has sent me; where shall I get it framed ?" Mother (with experience): " Take to that shop in Gillespie'? Buildings, where Robt. J. Lyttle will do it promptly and well." Daughter: "Oh yes, mother! I heard it was a good place to get mirrors,too."
