NATIVES' ASSOCIATION BAND.

The concert given last evening in His Majesty's Theatre, under the auspices of the Natives' Association Band, attracted a large and enthusiastic audience. The band, under its capable conductor, Lieut. T. Herd, was in splendid form and played ■with good decision, tone, and blend, and with fine expression. The principal selection was a pretty arrangement from the opera " Satanella " (Balfe), which included the charmingly weird "invisible chorus," with its wonderful "drone bass" and the melodious comet s6lo, " The Power of Love," which was admirably 1 played. The solos for euphonium and trombone were also well played. The fa-ntasia, "Souvenir de Russie," and the military march, "Off to Camp" (Beyer) were given spiritedly. Miss Elsie Kel'l sang pleasingly "Ah! Tempt Me Not" and "The Call of May Time," for each of which she was recalled. By special request, Mr. R. Allwright (baritone) sang "Farewell in the Desert," and also contributed " The Old Black Mare." Mr. L. Spiro (violinist) was most successful in " Der Sohndehaido " and a bright recall number. Miss Pauline Ajiketell and Mi 1. G. S. Holloway gave full satisfaction as accompanists.; ' i
