Master Trevor Hutton, the eleven-ye.ar-old boy flautist. is a delight to listen to. The soloist members nf the band will be Mr Cyril Muschamp (saxophone), Mr Albert Hutton (piccolo), and Mr Frank Geoghegan (xylophonist). The band and party numbers 80 persons, and will arrive by the express on the 19th and march to the Town Hall. The concert at night commences at 8 o’clock. The box plan is now open at Kilgour’s.
