Petone
(From our own correspondent.) , .. ’ August 16. The Catholic schoolroom was packed last Wednesday night, when a minstrel entertainment was given in aid of the bazaar to be held in November. The first part was taken up with the usual minstrel business. Mr. Anderson was interlocutor, and the corner men were Messrs. Casey, Twohill, Walsh, and Delahunty. Many excellent songs and choruses were rendered, the latter being finely harmonised. The witticisms of the end men caused much amusement. The second part was made up of a farce, ‘ Dr. Doolittle’s patients,’ which was most amusing. The characters were sustained by. Messrs Delahunty, Anderson, Fitzgerald, Casey, Cates, Walsh, McNeill, and Twohill. Rev. Father McMenamin officiated at the piano,- and it must have been very encouraging to him to see such a large audience. The takings amounted to £ll. It is intended to repeat the entertainment with a new programme in a few weeks’ time.
