AMUSEMENTS.

FISK JUBILEE SINGERS. I This delightful combination afforded lovers of music another treat last night. There was a good house and the reception if anything was more appreciative than on the previous evening. The audience was so demonstratively enthusiastic that every item was encored. Amongst the choruses were the old favourites, "The Great Camp Meeting," "Who built the Ark," "Peter Gu Ring Dem Bells," "Brother Michael," "Listen to the Chimes," and "Roll Jordan Roll," while by very special request "Hear Dem Bells" was added. Mr Sidney Haynes contributed a tenor solo "Roses," and Miss Belle Gibbons a powerful and artistic rendsring of "Mid the Blue Grass of Kentucky," had to ba followed with "Home Sweet Home," which was sung with characteristic fervour and pathos. Miss Bertha Haynes Miller also distinguished herself in her singing of "The Swannee River," one of the finest old melodies ever writtei. As a repeat number she gave "Maggie" again, Mr H. H. Collin was vociferously encored for his singing of "Sally,' atd responded to a double recall. Miss Florence Dixie's banjo and Mr Martin's guitar solos were as usual pleasant features of the entertainment, and were warmly received. As on the previous evening Professor White's accompaniments and contribution of his full share of the part singing in the choruses were quite a feature ot the entertainment.
