The object of the entertainment was to raise funds with which to assist the Mornington, High Street, and Albany Street Schools’ Bands, and the effort put forward bv the promoters was amply rewarded. A programme of a very superior order was submitted, consisting of musical items, singing, dancing, and recitations, and patrons _ were afforded a very enter taming evening, A large number of the items were of really high-class merit.
