THE CATHEDRAL CHORISTERS.

Tlie Cathedral Choristers and the excellent company supporting them give their entertainment at the Opera House to-morrow (Thursday) evening, and should be highly successful. The reputation of these singers has preceded them, and much interest? has been manifested in the approaching season. The Chorister Parly numbers four boys, whose very unique performan'.-e consists of glees, madrigals, catches, and solos aelectfid from the old British masters, and which are rarely hoard nowadays. The boys have beautiful voices, and liave received the most careful training. Their part songs are pronounced perfect. The solo of the Irish home song. "Terry," rendered by Master Harry Heaney, is charmingly voiced, and the refrain by the four boys is pleasingly accurate. Miss Alice Layton possesses a charming soprano voice, and sings many of the favorite ballads, including Tostis "Good-bye" and Lardo's "Good-night." Kelleman the Magician is a real mystifier. and has the reputation of being one of the cleverest prestidigitateurs in Australia. His work with billiard balls is exceptionally clever, and his illusions leave his audience nonplussed. Mr Geo. Warsaw (operatic basso) is the possessor of a fine cultured voice, and the songs rendered by this singer soon place him* in the good graces of his audience. Mr Leslie Warton (coon melodist) is responsible for a large amount of the humorous element, which has made him a great favorite in every town visited. The box plan is now open at Messrs Cole and Donnelly**.
