Jubilee Singeks. — This evening Mr McAdoo will introduce for the first time to a New Zealand audienca Miss Rnola Saunder3, who will favor. us with a recitation entitled "Asleep on the Switch." ftiiss Gibbons will make her last appearance on the stage, after five years travelling with tha Jubilee Minstrels, and m addition to her share of the choruses will sing, "The Song that reached my Heart," and we are Bure that this favorite singer will do the song, which is full of pathos, full justice. Miss Gibbons, we understand, leaves shortly for her home m Virginia, and we understand is likely to follow the example oic her old colleague Miss Mattie Lawrence, who wa3 one of the most talented members of the Fisk Jubilee Singers, and who is now living near London, and enter into the same kind cf bond that she and Mr McAdoo have done since last m the colony. Oue of the principal features of to-night's performance will be an imitation of the Garrison Band, and a number of the most popular and newest of their choruses will be rendered by the company.
