A large audience assembled at the City Hall last night when the Gaiety Minstrel and Specialty Company presented a. change of programme. In the-minstrel portion Mr Walter Rivers sang "The Mighty Deep," and he was loudly recalled. '"Didn't Get a Look at 'Em,' a coon song, was so well rendered by Mr Tom Edwards that averse had to be repeated. Miss Georgie Devoe was seen to advantage in a song and dance, her/business" being capital. The Howard Sisters were favoured with a recall for their songand dance, "Wb.a.t Could the Poor Girl Da," while Mr 'Chas. Faning who sang "Jubilee" had to respond to half-a-dozen encored before the audience were.. 'Satisfied. An acceptable item was the neat song "Pretty Katie " and accompanying- sand jig by Messrs Carleton and Button. The performers were honoivred with a re-call. Mr .1. P. Robertson was twice encored fot the singing of a tenor solo "One Heart Divine." Ke responded with- a yodelling refrain. The treble song- and dance, "Ninety-nine of Us," by Miss Georgie Devoe and the Howard Sisters caused great laughter. In the second part-Mr C. E.
