CAMBRIDGE CRICKET CLUB CONCERT.

Tub above concert was held in the Public Hall on Friday evening last, and both in respect of attendance and quality of performance was one of tho most successful that Cnmbndpe has experienced for some timo. Considering the shortness of the notice, and tho many disadvantages with which tho committee had to contend, tho success achioved must have been beyond all anticipation. Every availablo seat was occupied, many persons having to stand, and tho audience was thoroughly appreciative, and happily unmixed with that noisy whistling element whose demonstrativeness usually tends to disturb tho harmony of such gatherings. A departure wan made from tho ordinary observance in respect of dross, the members of tho club who took part in tho entertainment appoaring in cricketing costume, which of itself had ft somewhat striking effect. In tho absence of the president, the rice president, Mr R. W. Dyer occupied tho chair. Unlike the usual run of Waikato concerts, ono of the mos f . noticeable features of Friday evening Wjis the unuMiaJ collection of new talent. The feature of the entertainment was the recitations of Miss Parsons, who completely took tho audience with her elocutionary powers. The performance of this lady was decidedly novel to a Cambridge audience, And after each picco she had to bow her acknowledgements amidst a shower of bouquets. Tho vocal honours of the evening woro cairiad off by Aim Culpan, of Auckland, who wan twice yopjferously encored. Her excollent randoring of " A Vision " met with unusual appreciation, and indoed tho samo may be said of her other songs. Mr Mooro was in his usual good \oice, and his Hongs met with thoir usual favour. In respect of instrumental music, Dr. Murch's performance on the violin with pianoforte accompaniment by Mrs Ohitty, wn« nnp of tho most popular items of tno progfamme, and the musical circle of the district may be congratulated on this the latest addition to their number. Another specialty were the instrumental duets of Misses Main »nd Culpan. The two songs, "Romany Lass" and "My Hweetheait When a Boy," are also deserv- | ing of kpocial mention.

It is said that invalids arc now fed op baked milk. We imagine that nice baked milk, stuffed with sa^o and onions, and browned to a turn, might be good eating even for well peisona.
