THE CATHEDRAL CHORISTE.'S AND PARTY.

The attendance at the Opera House on Thursday night, when the Lathed ral c.v. isters and Concert Party appeared, .. not so numerous as the perforn.. .■.«. merited. The company sent dut on --.^ occasion by Mr Dix is quite up to :us usually high standard, if not supei or. The programme arranged was, entirety vi the concert order, and opened with an ! overture, "Fight for Honor," which was played with admirable taste by Mr Ed^ar i Collins. Mr George Warsaw, who is wie possessor of a very flexible and poweitul bass voice, next sang "The Mighty Deep," and was followed by Miss Alice Layum, & finished soprano, who gave "To-night." Both Artists, gave encore y numbers, but they labored under the disadvantage of preceding the Choristers, for whompatious appeared to be impatiently waiting.- Kellman the magician, wnose legerdemain is unusually clever, succeeded in thoroughly entertaining the audience with his mystic art, and fully justified the reputn^on that had preceded him. The Cathedral boys were greeted with applause upon their appearance. They first sang "Hark to the Mandolin," a piece which at once established them in favor, 'lhe melody of the music was rendered intelligible by the crispness of articulation. The blending of the voices was admirable, and unrestrained applause followed the concluding notes. The stars of the evening were vary sparing in their favors, and merely bowed their acknowledgments, but the continued applause brought them w the footlights again. During the. evening they sang others numbers, but still kit. the public unsat'sfied. "Terry," a beautifully pathetic piece, served to show the capabilities of Master Harry Heaney as » soloist. His vocalisation was remarkably good, and th© tone rich and full. "Awake" was another quartette, and^the concluding number was "Good-night," in which Miss Layton was associated wit> the Choristers. A rather amusing incident occurred in one of the encore pieces. The principal refrain was "I hope it wasn't my cat," and while the number was in progress a cat gravely walked upon the platform. Possibly the cat was a stage "accessory," but the boys' set off giggling, in which the audience joined, ana the piece was perilously near disaster, until' an angry hand reached across the stage and dragged the feline off. However, the youthful choristers were forgiven, and the applause was heartier than ever. Mr Leslie Warfcon, a coon melodist with a more melodious voice than most. comics, supplied the fun. and the audience made repeated demands upon frs good nature. Mr Carden Wilsons imitafc'ons of footlight favorites and scenes from popular plays stamped "him as an artist of the front rank. His voice p'.ctures were as nearly perfect as it is possible to imagine. The programme throughout was of a first-class character, and th© concert should add to Mr Dixs already high reputation as an up-to-date manager. <

Mr F. J. Wrigley announces that he has just landed a large assortment of spraying pumps. Jtantham Bros, and Co. announce a supplementary horse fair to take place at the end of October. All is not gold that glitters may be said about many brilliant prospectuses that are frequently issued to financiers; they often herald the formation of companies which go up like the proverbial rocket and come down like a stick. Holloway's Pills and Ointment, unlike such shaky ventures, are the soundest investments in which people suffering from disease can entrust their money. They have the reputation of over half a century, and every day they return substantial dividends in the form of good health. No disease has yet disputed their influence when a fair trial has been given. They cure dysentry, diarrhoea, weakness, and liver and kidney diseases, whilst for skin diseases fhey have no equal.
