The Hawern Mail Voire Choir will again this year organise a musical and eloenil.i'onaryi festival. Messrs. F, W. Horner, H. B; Cfessev, and J. W. Velvin have been appointed a sub-committee to go into the qnestion of arrangements. Probably- the eomipeljition.s will ’be held about August. A large party of the Druids who assembled at ~Te Kuiti for the Grand Lodge conference were taken through the Waitomo Caves. In the Glowworm. Cave the guide invited them to sing and, it .is said, the effect was truly wonderful. The choir, ably fed by some of Auckland’s leading male voices burst into song. The guide, hardened as he is to shocks of all kinds, stood spellbound, and the glow-worms ceased to shine. It is safe to say that such concerted music has never been heard in the caves before, and it is doubtful if it ever will be again. It has now been suggested that a gramophone and some Caruso records should be obtained, so that the guides in their spare time may cultivate in the glow-worms a. taste for good music, and so render them immune from shocks such as that of the 'Druidical visit.
