LADIES' PIPE BAND.
Members of the Australian Ladies' Pipe Band arrived by train from Masterton this morning, and were welcomed by the locfal chieftain of the Caledonian Society and other Scots. Owing to the wet weather it was not possible to play through the streets on their-way to their hotel. The band consists of eighteen performers, all of whom are expert on the pipes. Never before in the history of the world has such a tour' as opens thia evening at the Town Hall been undertaken, and the fact that Wellington is included in the itinerary of the Australian Scottish Lady Pipers' Band should make all glad. The programme to be given provides for all tastes, with a natural leaning to the land of the heather. Among its membere are champions and winners of prizes in dancing and elocution at the leading competitions of Australia. The band is on a tour round the world, and before they return to Australia will have travelled over 50,000 miles. Patrons are requested to be in their seats early. The Ladies' Band and the local Pipe Band will parade from the Midland Hotel to the Town Hall if the weather proves suitable.
