ANDREW BLACK CONCERTS. The visits of distinguished artists to Masterton aie comparatively rare, and correspondini ly valuable. They give pleasure to the cultured musicians amongst us, and are undoubtedly likely to improve the immature student, thus arousing emulaton which should be of much value, and benefit to the community It is therefore profitable to encourage regular visits from the great people of the musical world, and when the Andrew Black concert takes place on Saturday night next, it is to be hoped that performers will be greeted with a more than usually good house. Amongst the singers of England today Andrew Bla:k ranks high as an oratoria and operatic exponent, and his rendering of English,, Irish and Scotch ballads*, has always won a warm welcome from the hearts of the people Mr Black's concert party.also include" He*r Anton Tschaikov, the young Russian violinist, Miss Lilian i Delany, pianiste and ;accompaniste, I and Mias Iley Cross, contralto.
