Sacred Heart Select School, Wanganui

For many years past the Convent' concert (says the Wanganui Chronicle of December 18) has been regarded as one of the principal entertainment events of the Christmas season. This reputation has been well-earned, for the entertainments given by the Convent pupils have invariably been of a most artistic and enjoyable nature: that given on Friday evening was no exception to the rule. As in previous years, the Opera House was packed to overflowing, many having to be content with standing room. The programme was a particularly fine one, the only fault being that too many good things were given to the audience, thus prolonging the concert till about 11 o'clock. The Sisters of the Convent must, have been proud of the manner in which their pupils acquitted themselves ? especially in the intricate and charming dance evolutions, the delightful operetta and the cantata. We would like to refer in detail to each item ,but space will not permit. At the conclusion of the programme, Father Holley, in a brief but happy 'speech, thanked the audience for their attendance. He then introduced, the Mayoress, who distributed the chief prizes, according to the list published below. Owing to the lateness of the hour, it was decided to present the remaining prizes at the respective schools. We have to congratulate the Sisters upon the excellent result of their year's work, and hope that, in their new home, they will have even more success. The following was the programme:—Part I—Overture ; pianoforte solo, 'Polonaise in A. (Chopin), Miss M.
