MARIST BROTHERS ' CONCERT.

The concert held in the Manst Brothers' schoolroom last) evening, nader the auspices of Sr. John's Branch H. A.C.8.5., pissed off very successfully. The schoolroom was crowded, and the audience most enthusiastic, Mr J, Madigan sang " For Ever" very well. Miss Violet Taylor recited "The Tenement) House" marvellously well for so young a reciter, and in reply to a most pronounced encore gave "Papa's Letter." In the second part Miss Taylor recited "Guilty or Not Guilty," and another encore followed, when the juvenile elecut'onist gave " Billy's Rose " with splendid eftect. Mr Simpson sang " Eileen Allflni\b," and was recalled, when he contiibuted "Adrift." Mr Halpin saug, "There Never wrs a Coward where the Shamrock Grows " excellently, and later on saDg "Come Back to Erin " with tiue artistic expression. Mr A. Boden was encored for his sinking of "Sho Wore a Wreath oi Ro9t-V and in tho sreond parti danced a clog-dance in splendid stv)e Mr D. Rowe Beeared an encore tor " Eileen O'Connor," and repeated tbe last verse. " The Maid of the Mi 1 !" was splendidly sung by Miss M'Shane. Mr G. Edwards scored an instant success with bis song "The Land of the West." A clamorous encore was accorded the vocalist, who responded by singlDg "The Sieg3 of Badajos " with truly martial vigor of expression, Miss M'Gnire gave a capital rendering of that beautiful song " KUlarney," and was enthusiastically encored in her second Item, "The Wishing Cup," being equally well sung. Mr Frod Thomhlll, a comic singer whose style betokened a rather intimate acqmiotanco with the footlights sang a patter sonp "How KoflVrty won the mile" in a manner ihit elicited a storm of applause. The audience were not satisfied until they hid obtained three sodrs each, one fanuierthin the one which preceded it. Master Herbert Tnbßchks, a pupil cf Herr Tursohka, played a vloltD solo with wonderful execution and expression for so young a performer. Mrs Yates was in good voice and sane " Erlu My Coußtry " very nicely. Mr Froser gave the comic song " The Prtrsou and the Clerk " with unctuous humor and wrs recalled, giving a laughable parody of a sermon on the text of the old nareer? rhyme of Mother Hubbard. A duet, " The Mudc of the Birds," was well snug by Misses Connor and M'Shane. Madame Tutechka was loudly applnnded for her song " It Was a Dream." Mr Fred ThornhiU sang another comic song, "Nose?." Mr P. Cleaikin and Master Mv Honey danced a double Irish jig. Misses Cole, Madigan, and St. Clair played the accompaniments.
