ST. MARY'S CONVENT SELECT SCHOOL, WANGANUI

The Opera House, Wanganui, was crowded with an appreciative audience on the occasion of the annual breaking-up-entertainment by the pupils of St. Mary's Convent Select School. The first part of the programme was made up of choruses, piano and vocal solos, which were capitally rendered. ' Queen Maifo and the Fairies' was very pretty indeed, and deserved the hearty encore it received. 'The Last Rose of Summer,' with humming accompaniment, was also very nice. It would be hardly fair to" pick out any individual young lady; suffice it to say that "every one did splendidly, and the unstinted applause from the large audience was well deserved.' During the evening the orchestra,' under Mr J. L. Beck, gave some fine selections,, as well as accompanying several of the various items. The second part of the programme consisted of a play entitled 'Lady Emmeline Hargrave; or, The Witch of Bramble Hollow.' The: various young people who took part deserve great praise for thefine delivery of their lines. At the conclusion of the entertainment the Very Rev. Dean Grogan thanked all present on behalf of the Sisters, _also the young people who had given such a. pleasant evening, and asked Mrs Mackay (Mayoress) to present* the prizes.
