"It w,.is represented to me," sa ; d Mr Tait, "that Miss Kitty Campion's voice was a_commonly good, so I consented to her, and if I thought fit to do so, wo.ild bring her under Madame Calves notice. I heard her, and was really surprised. Apart from her voice, whi-h is very good, she seems to have the natural gift of song—the sort of thing that cannot be acquired—it must be there naturally. Miss Campion saag before Madame Calve, who without hesitation said it was the best voice she had heard in Australasia, and became quite enthusiastic aoout her, which is not exactly a habit of Madamft's. Miss Campion had « long ta'.k with Madame Calve, who ga\e her lots of good advice regarding vocal methods and the teachers she go 1o if she got the chance. The concert to be given In Auckland m Saturday next is to help to give her that chance I am going up personally to superintend the arrangemtnts. I hope it will he successful for Miss Campion's sake "
