On Friday evening, Richmond was visited by a rrusical party from Nelson, who gave a concert in aid of the fund to procure a ammaphone for the Children's Home. The attendance was *iot good, as heavy rain fell between 7 and 8 o'clock, and' this (though welcome in many respects) unfortunately prevented a large number from attending. Those who did venture out were amply rewarded, as an excellent programme was performed, al lthe items being of a hign order of merit. At the conclusion the Rev. Eaton, on behalf of Dr and Mrs Howard, of the Home, thanked the party for their kindness in corring to Richmond, and assured them that the. visit was much appreciated. The programme -was as follows: —Two selections by the Orchestra, the members of which were. Misses Fairhall, Moore, Ward (2), Messrs Allen, Brundell, Clausen, Glover, Price, Rout, Thompson, and Ward (conductor); flute solo, Mr Clansen; songs bv Miss Zilla Kerr, Miss Mary Ward, and Mr A. G. Thompson; piano solo, Miss Mina Ward ; vocal duet, Miss Ward and Mr Thompson; humorous item, Mr Allen; and musical monologues by Mr G. Bush. Miss Mina Ward acted as acorrpaniste. WAIMEA CRICKET ASSOCIATION. A cup match between the Wai-iti and Brightwater A teams was played at Brightwater on Saturdal last,: and was won by the Brightwater team by an innings and 259 runs. The great feature of the match was the fine score put up by Reggie Eden,, of 204 not out, and it •was an exhibition of real good cricket all round, and there was not the semblance of a chance. He went in first and remained at the wickets for three hours. T. Knap also played a very attractive innings of 75 run out. Haycock put up 26 in his usual solid form. In the Wai-iti first innings Wal. Batt was the only man to reach double figures ,and he .put up 20 in the second innings. O. Price 16 and B. Griffiths 13 also showed good form. The fielding of both sides was very good for the first of the season, very few catches being missed. The scores are : t . WAI-ITI; Ist innings. B. Griffiths, b Haycock 1 O.

I TAHUNA. ENJOYABLE CONCERT. . - (From Our Own Correspondent.) A concert was given at Tahuna on October 30th by the Tahuna Gle© Club. The chair was taken by the Rev. AJ. Carr. Counter attractions ano> showery weather prevented a large attendance ; but those who came were ■well satisfied with the programme presented. The first item, a pianoforte solo by Miss Duncan, was well played, and although a difficult composition, was played from memory-. This was followed by "Sleep, Gentle Lady," and "A Soldier's Life," by the Tahuna Glee Club. Although not without fault, these were well rendered', and considering the society is a new one, reflected great credit on the conductor, Mr E. Edridge. The Rev. A. J. Carr then sang "The Admiral's Broom" in fine style. A pianoforte duet by the Misses Duncan was excellently played, and an encore was demanded. A vocal duet by Mrs Toms and Mr T. Taylor brought well-deserved applause. Mr KingsTand sang "Go to Sea, my Boys," and was recalled, and sang "Tne Rose." This was followed by a song by Miss Viola Duncan, which was encored. Mr E. Ed- ; ridge gave a reading entitled "Tommy and Mary's Wedding," which kept the audience laughing from start to finish, and they were not satisfied until he gave another just as amusing. The Misses Duncan gave a vocal duet in perfect harmony, and well balanced; they too received an encore. Mr T. Scott gave "A Song of the Sea," which was well sung. A duet on the pianoforte by Mr and Mrs Scott received a well-deserved encore. Miss Duncan sang a song to her own accompaniment, and was in good form. Mrs Toms sang "Ave Maria" splendidly, and for an encore gave "i-jing Me to Sleep." Several mere items by tho Tahuna Gleo Club concluded an excellent programme. The proceeds go towards purchasing a piano for the Hall. Miss Hall, of Waimea West, acted as accompanist to the Glee Club.
