The Blind Musicians.

TO-NIGHT. To-night the Blind Musicians git 4 a coocerc at the Publio Hall. ' In o«r last is me we gave a description of the performers, and the length 6f. time they had been deprived of Even if their efforts were nit so good as they are the public should support them, as they are making a spirited effort to help iharuaelves. On Sunday evening hey ga*e a sacred concert in the Opara House and the Pest says there was a very large audience. The company consists of a number of talented people from the Victorian Institute for the Blind, and the en- , fcertainment which they gave last night was of a very meritorious character. It is their intention to give a aerioa3 of secular concerts in Wellington at an early date. On Monday night the Blind Musicians gave a concert at Otaki and the Mail says the concert was a most enjoyable one in every respect, every item being loudly applauded, and many of the pieces -being «k demanded. Miss Drummonds's beautiful soprano voioe was heard to, much advantage, her items being rendered with much feeling, while Miss Andrew's sweet and" cultured singing was a great treat. The various instrumental solos, quartettes etc., were of a high -order, and the part singing particularly good. Mr Solomon's comic songs kept the audience in roars of laughter, while bis laughable absurdities took immensely. MoKee and Gamble, Photo-Engravers, and Lithographers, Wellington. Send for quotation.
