HURLEYVILLE.

(FROM A CORRKSPONDENT.)

The long-looked for concert in aid of the Public Hall Piano Fund came off very successfully last uighfc, to a full house. Mr Morrison, as Chairman, called out tbe following first-class programme :— Overture, Miss Espagne ; song, " Nigger Babby," Miss Hurley (Whemiakura) ; recitation, '• Guilty or Not Guilty," Mr Besky; violin solo, " The Last Rose of Summer," Mrs Rutherford, encored ; song, "Kathleen Mavoureen," Miss Easy, and to an undeniable demand for an encore sang " Chime Again, Beautiful Bells " ; song, " Juanita," Mr T. Scown ; recitation, " McDougall's Score," Mr Fitzgerald, and as an encore gave " The Alarm " ; pianoforte duet, Misses Kemp and Fake (Hawera) ; song, "Eileen Alannah," Miss Corrcen ; recitation, " Stars and Stripes," Miss Cameron ; song, " Dublin Bay," Miss Maggie Hurley ; recitation, " Nancy Bell," Mr Rigg, and for encore " How Johnny Won the Prize " ; piano duet, " Waves of The Ocean," Misses Fake (Hawera) ; piano solo, " Scotch Airs," Miss Kemp (Hawera) ; recitation, " The Amateur Rider," Mr Fitzgerald, and for an encore " Michael O'Flyn." Miss Espagne played most of the accompaniments of the evening in her well-known style. A first-class supper was then handed round, and after justice was done to the good things provided by the ladies of Hurleyville, the hall was quickly changed by willing harids into a suitable place for dancing. The floor was tip-top, the mußic, by Miss Espagne, was excellent, tho Ma.C, Messrs Rutherford and Scown, were courteous and prompt, and dancers had a real good time till well on towards break of dawn. Misses Fake and Kemp played a few extras, which were much appro* ciated.
