THE COMPETITIONS.

(To the Editor.) Sir,- I would be sorry to step off on the wrong foot, but I want to suggest to the Executive of the present Festival that the long wait of 20 minutes this evening after the programme had concluded and the audience was waning for the judges to make their announcements, rather spoilt what otherwise was a splendid evening’s entertainment. Why keep the audience sitting in a cold hall for so tong without any annarent reason? The Elocution judge went up to the stage before the two final classes were ml, and should have been readj' as soon as the last competitor had left the stage to give his Results, and the others should have followed at once with their’s. As the stage manager asked patrons to help by coming and bringing their friends, (o assist the revenue of the Society, I think it would b? all to the good if “the ball were kept rolling,” and patrons could get home as early as possible after the programme had finished.—Yours, etc., “GOOD FAITH.”
