j A vkky successful soiree and concert wai held in the Public Hall, Cambridge, on Thursday oveuimr. A. veehorehe ten, was provided at (i.30 p.m., by the ladies of the congregation to which full justice was done, and the hall was then cleared for the conceit. Thosnireo was held for the purpose of welcoming the Kev. C. H. Garland, and the whole of the protestant Churches were represented upon the platform, for in addition to the. Rev. Mr Carr, Hamilton, who occupied the chair, there was the ven Archdeacon Willis and Revs. Evans and Griffiths. Short addresses were gircn during the evening by the whole of the clergy present; all of Ilium heartily welcoming the new comer. The following programme was very successfully gone through :—Piano solo, Fantasia on " Sing mo an English Song," Miss Florence Clark; duet, "I heard a voice," Mr and Mrs (.). Garland (encored) ; song, I'd he no submissive wife," Mrs Stacpole ; quartette, "The Nightingale," Misses Chapell and Salmon, and Messrs Meachem and Rev. Can-; song, "The Lover and the Bird," Mrs Maxwell, encored, and "No Sir" substituted. Interval of ten minutes, Piano duet, " Qui Vive," Messrs Mackay and Ga.no; song, "The fairy Jane," Mr Meaehcm ; sunt.', " Remember Now Thy Creator," Miss Caley; song. " The "Dashing Wnite Sergeant," Mrs Stacpole, song, •■ White Wings," Miss Chappell. We have not room to notice the performance, but we cannot refrain from giving a word of praise to little Miss Hurst, of Te Aroha, for tho manner in which she rendered her song. Her articulation was good, and she was perfectly in tune, which is not often the case with very many juvenile performers. The audience was a very large one, and the financial result must have been satisfactory
