AT OTAHUHU.

aucoessfnl ooncerta that have Hall for a long time was evening, the object being of the school under the Sisters of Meroy here, from the numbers preof the affair must have pleased with the result of their The only thing that marred the was the whistling and feet at tho end of nearly every however gratifying to those - exceedingly annoying to othersT^We observed the Rev. Father Fynes, of JlowiekT and the Rev. Father Joseph, tie minister of the district, amongst the company. Quoting from the programme, the first piece given was an overture, "Linda de Chamouni," duet, piano and violin, by the Misses Lynch and Professor H. Homeyer ; but it was a class of music not sufficiently appreciated by the audience, although ifc was beautifully executed. The glee, " Hark ! the Curfew's Solemn Sound," was nicely rendered by the company. ' ' Janet's Bridal, " sung by Miss Simes, who accompanied herself on the piano was deservedly encored, as well as " Barney O'Hea," which she sang later in the evening. Mrs. Sephton and Viiss Murray sang "The Murmuring Sea," with good effect ; after which Miss Murray gave "The Rich. Man's Bride," with, good taste. After a solo on the piano by Miss Lynch, which was beautifully executed, Mr. Little sang "Gone are the Days," but proved pcarcely equal to the task. "When the Swallow Homeward Plies" was- very well suog by Miaa M. Milgrew and Mr. Homeyer. Mr. Watson's comic song, " An 'Orrible Tale," was rapturously encored again and again : indeed, Mr. Watson always meets with a very warm reception whenever he appears on , the stage. After an interval of 10 minutes "Meyerbeer's "Grand March," from "La Prophete," was beautifully executed by the Miases Lynch on the pianoforte, and Mr. Homeyer on the violin. Miss Gallagher then sang "Sweet Home" nicely, but rather tremulously. "Let me Kiss Him for his Mother" was sung with good feeling by Miss A. Little. Miss Stapleton sang "Scenes of Home," accompanied by Miss Lynch on the piano, very feelingly, An instrumental pieoe was given by the Misses Lundon on the piano, and accompanied by Mr. EEomeyer on the violin ; and. Considering it was their first appearance in p iblic, they" deserve all praise. The song, ♦•Erin's Isle," was sung by Miss OBrien, who evidently is under good teachers. " God save the Queen " was then sung by the company, and this brought the musical part of the programme to an end. The laughable farce of " Box and Cox" was next introduced ; Mr. Pookes, V.S., takingthe part of Box, and Mr. Calvert, V.S., taking that of Cox ; , Miss L. Milgrew as Mrs. Bouncer. Great praise is due to the lady and gentlemen for the very efficient way in which they had got 1 up their parts, for,, although amateurs, they would do credit to the profession. Before the company joined in the dancing, which was kept up to a very early hour, tea and coffee and all the delicacies of the season were handed round, but the arrangements for doing so were not so , complete as might have been wished. We must not omit to give great credit to Mr. Homeyer, who had the entire control of the j musical part, for the very efficient manner in which lie performed his duties.
