Since the commencement of the depot early in July one hundred and fifty families have received benefit through this channel of relief. ENTERTAINMENTS On Sunday evening last the Coronation Hall at St. Kilda was packed to its utmost capacity, and a great number were unable to gain admission when the band and entertainers from H.M.S. Dunedin presented a programme that was both delightful and varied. Every item met with great approval from the large audience, and encores were the order of the evening. The proceeds were in aid of the funds of the St. Kilda Unemployed Association. The band, under Bandmaster Horrocks, played several well chosen items, and, although it has only been together a short time, its playing was of a high standard. The following members of the party contributed to the programme:—Banjo recital, Messrs Murphy and Mosheim; vocal items— Messrs Skinner, Walker, and Greaves; a violin solo was delightfully rendered by Mr Horrocks, and sword drill by Mr Collins. Mr Sharman greatly pleased the audience with his monologues, which were very well rendered. Mr Martin was a very efficient accompanist. It was only a small portion of the entertainers that came to St. Kilda, and those that were unfortunate enough not to have gained admission will still have the opportunity of hearing the entire party at the Town Hall Concert Chamber on Thursday, November 17, the proceeds to go to the mayor’s fund. On Saturday night the St. Kilda Unemployed Association held its popular weekly dance, which was well attended. The final of the Monte Carlo waltz competition resulted in Miss Russell and Mr Bonfell being the winners. The run-ners-up were Miss Prattly and Mr Strong. The floor and music both give the public among the best in town, while the supper still attains the high standard that has existed in the past. The lucky spot was won by Miss M’Farlane and Mr Robertson. On Friday night the association will again give the public good faro for the usual Saturday prices, when the grand gala

night is to be held from 8 to 2 a.m. There will bo plenty of novelties, and the mysterious “Mr X.” will be present. The committee has been fortunate in securing the dance band of H.M.S. Dunedin through the courtesy of Captain Do Meric, and altogether the public is assured of a very enjoyable night’s entertainment. It has been found impossible to put on, the special No. 4 district concert advertised for Wednesday of this week at the South Dunedin Town Hall, and the committee hopes that no one will be inconvenienced by its inability to provide it. There will be the usual concert and dance on Saturday evening.
