Lovers of Irish music in Dunedin will be delighted to know that the anniversary of Thomas Moore, the bard of ire. and, is to bs celebrated here this year, and that it is intended, if possible, to make the celebration an annual event. It is due to the energetic conductor <>f St. Joseph's Glee Club (Mr. T. J. Anthony), and to tlie enthusiasm of the members, that the event is to be inaugurated in this city, and it may be taken for granted judging by the spirit of nationality possessed )y Dili people, and so well shown when occasion offers—that the celebration will be strongly supported. It is the intention of tire Glee Club (a musical combination now well established among our Catholic organisations) to present an extensive programme of Moore’s choicest selections at a concert to be given in St. Joseph's Hall on Wednesday evening, May 28 (the anniversary day itself). Frequent rehearsals have been the order for some time past, and those who have heard the Glee Club at practice have no misgivings as to the success of the celebration. .
