Daring tho interval at Miss Tlielma Petersen's concert Inst evening Sir Joseph Ward spoke of the beneficiare's talent and her desire to go to the artistic centres of the Old World to receive' further vocal tuition, and finally invited all interested to support tho movement. "They didn't support Andrew Black when ho was hero!" said a stentorian voice from the middle of the hall, to everyone's surprise. "Well, you know all about that," said Sir Joseph Ward, "I don't." The • remark, though abrupt and unexpected, was not altogether inappropriate, for groat artists visit New Zealand, and sometimes tho public will not trouble themselves to hear them. Andrew Black was certainly a caso in point, e-o was Carrmio, Alicia lonian, and others that could be mentioned. Marie Narelle, who is now receiving .£IOO a week in America, sang in Wellington to bare benches, and Miss Jessie M'Lachlan, tho famous singer of Scotch songs, had a similar experience. Tilt public is distinctly "moody" where singers aro concerned. j An exceedingly attractive sale of farm stock and implements will tak'o place 011 Mr. Frank Bould's farm, Oliariu Valley, Johnsonville, on Friday next.
