TESTIMONIAL CONCERT TO PROFESSOR CAILLIAU.

The testimonial and farewell concert to' j Professor Cailliau will be given this even- - ing in the Cboral Hall, under the direction of Herr Carl Schmitt, and it bids fair to bo , one of tho features of the season. The members of the Orchestral and Philharmonic Societies both take a prominent . part, and the programme contains a choice. selection of the richest musical gems, while the names' of tho perfdrmere afford areliable guarantee of successful execution. The Orchestral Society will contribute" Overtures by Beisseeer and Bellini, and tho Cornelius March by Mendelssohn, Mrs Chadwick and the Philarmonio Society will render a solo and chorus front Van Brco's " St. Cecilia's Day," and Messrs' C andJ. Eemus, Edger, and Clough will per-, form one of Haydn's delightful string guar- ; tottes. In addition, solo selections will be . sung by Madame Pooley, Miss Staunton, | Miss Annie Unvgravo, Mr G. E. Boyle,"; i Mr Frank Slteats, Mr J. Edwards, Mr 1 Joseph Hanna, and Mr E. W. Sceats ; V vocal duets will be executed by \L Messrs, J. Edwards and R. W. Sceats, - Miss Tapper and Mr J. Hanna, and Mies 1 Staunton and Mr Boyle ; while pianoforte | duots aro promised by Miss Keturah Camp-11 bell and Mr Kalph Hood, and Miss Donovan and Mr Angolo Forrest. Such a highly I tempting coneort programme is rarely pre- | sented, and its attractions, coupled wita tho deserts of the bencficiaire, should ensure a crowded house. Messrs H. F, Edger and R. W. Sceats (tho joint Secretaries) -.■■ doservo great credit for the manner in which, with Herr Schmitt'a willing assistance, they have arranged the affair. It now romains for the public to crown their efforts with success, and to pay a just tribute of regard to a gentleman who , | has done tho cause of music in Auckland very considerable Borvice.
