Chambers; Wales, Miss E. Walker; India, Miss M. Young; Australia, Mr J. Taylor; New Zealand, Mr Paltridge. The whole of the songs were well rendered, but as was expected the character ones pleased tile audience best. The whole of the scones were good, but to our thinking, the LondonStreet scene given with the “Vagabond” was far the best, The hall was crowded, and no doubt the small charge of Is drew many that would have stayed at homo if it had been more. Great praise is due to Mr Shirley for the trouble he took to make the concert a success, and also to those who so kindly assisted. The proceeds were about £l7.
