EKETAHUNA SCHOOL CONCERT.

The concert in connection with the Eketahuna School, held in the Town Hall on Tuesday evemrg, was in every respect a, success. The hall vas crowded, and the receipts will probably, clear, off the school debt. The chair was taken by Mr T. Bayliss, who, after a few remarks, was followed by the introductory speech of A. Anderson. A piano solo by Master J. Mead was very well performed. The song by the school choir would have been better appreciated it there had been fewer voices. The dialogue by seven boys was cleverly given. Mr J*'. Polling received an encore for his song, whilst " Barney 0 Shea," by Mrs Rowse, delighted the audience so much that they demanded from her a second song. The feature of the evening, however, was the Indian club exercises by tbe school girls. A recitation, "Faithless Sally Brown," by Mr Smith, amused the audience. Mr T. Rowse rendered in capital style and with splendid effect the song, " Jack Comes Home To day." In response to an encore he gave that very pretty song, "Harbor Lights." Miss Morris' song was not heard to advantage, through the larrikinism which was preyailing. The song by Martin Clayson received an encore. The dialogue by five girls was well given. A word of praise must be given to Mesdames Yon Reden and Rowse, and the Misses Clayson and Mead for their excellent accompaniment on the piano. -
