MISS JESSIE MACLACHLAN.
Of Miss Jessie Maclachlan, who will appear this evening at the Oddfellows' Hall, Ashburton, a British critic says: "Her interpretations of 'Comin' Thro' the Rye' and 'Whistle and I'll Come fcae ye, -my Lad,' are so charmingly arch and piquant that it would seem as though she could not-do anything better, but'-when she sings the 'Bonnie. Blue Bonnets,' 'Angus Macdonald,' and similarly dramatic compositions, she becomes: a Scottish Brunhilde, whose heroic declamation stirs the pulse in a strange way and thrills the heart. As an entertainment, Miss Maclachlan's performance -is a welcome variation on the stereotyped vocal efforts heard nowadays in the concert room, as well as a valuable educational factor in increasing one's knowledge of national song, which has been too much neglected."
