Complimentary references to hor liberal -spirit wero made at a supper given to tho players by Mrs. Prouse in Auckland at the conclusion of the final concert.

Some seventeen members of the disbanded orchestra have returned to Australia, others arc sottling in various parts of the colony, several intending to reside in Christchurch.
