WAIKATO ROWING CLUB'S PROMENADE CONCERT.

Tiik promenade concert and dance in aid of the funds of the Waikato Rowiug Club came off at the Public Hall, Hamilton, on Tuesday night, and, considering all things, was very successful. The. entertainment was novel to Hamilton, and on this account it was libeially patronised. The imisiual items and the dances were alternated, while those rf the audience interested in such matters were treated, on the payment of Gd a-head, to an exhibition of chemical, clectiical and odic expeiiments, which filled them with astonishment. Mr Holloway's string band cou ti United an oveituie, and Mr Warner generously played all the pianofoite accompaniments to the songs, and provided the imi^ic for the dancing, Mr Holloway assisting in the latter with his cornet. The vocalists weie Messrs Buriiand,'Grieen, N.ipper, Holloway, Pi octor, T. G. Sandes, H. Steele, and Jones. Of this number Messrs Green, Hollo way, and Jones sang character songs, and the last named gentleman's "til asU my Mother" was undoubtedly the gem of the evening, though Mr Green's "Irish Jaunting Car" was a great favourite also. Refreshments were supplied by Mr Foulsham, who gave every satisfaction in his department. The entertainment, which was a very enjoyable one, concluded about midnight.
