The musical world of Melbourne, or at least the feminine portion of it, appeared in such nuinher.s on the. afternoon of August it) t:> welcome .Madame Kirkby Lnun, the famous contralto, in whose honour a reception was given by the Lord Mayor of Melbourne (Councillor •(. T. l)avey), that the supper room of the Town Hall was uncomlort.iblj' tilled, and all the majority saw of the prima donna was a cluster of graceful ostrich plumes, or now mid again a section of smiling faep. After the l.ndy Mayoress, Mrs. Davoy, had presented the guest with a bouquet, the Lord Mayor, in' a short speech of welcome, said Melbourne was satisfied only witii the ve.rv best, and ill that Madame Limn would assuredly fulfil their expectations. But he took exception to one report that said that, "although English born, she was a great artist." He kr.eiv no reason why an Englishwoman should not bo as great as any in tho world. Victoria itself, small as it was, had produced some of tho greatest artists.' He was suro that as soon as Madame Kirkby Lunn smelled an English winter again, she would want to conic back to Australia. .During aitc-rnoon tea many of those occupying advantageous positions availed themselves of the opportunity of a few minutes' conversation with tile great singer, who was accompanied by Mr. Andrew Shanks, Mons.
