SECOND CONCERT TO-NIGHT. The unqualified success of Mr Charles Hackott and his brilliant associate artists M. Bratza and Mr Clarence Raybould’ at His Majesty’s Theatre • at the first concert has created a remarkable impression among music-lovers, and the distinguished tenor morn than realised the remarkable things that had been said of him before his advent here. Mr Hackett is being heard in Dunedin at the early stage ol what promises to bo one of the most brilliant careers the musical world J, a s known, and New -Zealand is fortunate in haying the opportunity of hearing a celebrity whose services are in such great demand in older countries.
