St. Patrick's Convent, Auckland

An enjoyable entertainment was given in the Federal Hall by the pupils and ex-pupils of St. Patrick's Convent Schools. There was a good attendance. An action song, " Scarf Drill," by the young pupils, was nicely represented, and the youthful performers were warmly applauded. The tableau "The Anunciation," in which Miss V. Speight represented the Virgin Mary and Miss M. Metcalfe the Angel Gabriel, and the accom- ' panying chorus, "The Angelus," by ex-pupils, merited the warm approval they received. Miss K. Rogers was applauded for her singing of " Gondola Dreams," and the duet " Nocturne," by this young lady and Miss N. Bist, also proved a very acceptable number. A number of pupils and ex-pupils were very successful in the chorus and dance, "Raise the Tambourine," as were also the pupils of St. Joseph's School in the chorus and skirt drill, " lvillarney." Miss O'Connor gave a recitation, "The Exile's Return," and Miss Folley posed in a tableau as "Erin." Pianoforte duets and trios' (two pianos) were played by Misses Silva, Keenan (2), Robinson. O'Connor (2), Molloy, K. Little, A. M'Donald, Rogers, and Clayton. The accompaniments were played by Misses J. Rist and Folley.
