Miss Bessie Doyle's concert In the Garrison Hall last night was a great success. The programme, an admirably-prepared one, wont off capitally, and there was a very large attendance to hear its items, every one of which was given in a way that drew forth the heartieafc plaudits from all parts of the hall. Of course, the chief attraction was Miss Doyle's playing, and the lifest of her contributions was Paganinl ss ConcertoKo. I,' which hasneverbefore been played in Dunedin. Many who patronised the concert went, no doubt, to listen to that one item alone, and they—indeed, all ia the building—i>mst have been pleased and delighted with her interpretation of it—masterly and clever all through its long length. On finishing her task «he wa» accorded rapturous plaudits, which were renewed with enthusiasm when the lady reappeared to bow her acknowledgment*.
