THE LYNCH FAMILY OF BELLRINGERS.

Tho Lynch Family of Bollringers, instrumentalists, and vocalists, gave the first of three performances in tho Volunteer Hall last night. They have visited Oamaru before, and being known, it is unnecessary to say thoy had a crowdod audience, and anyone who has had tho pleasure of attending one of their performances will not require to bo told that everybody was gratified. Indeed tho audience were quite unrestrained in thoir approbation. The bollringers' performances are extraordinary for tho exact time kept, the clover manipulation, and the music of the bells. Iho " Druids' March from Norma " in the first part, and tho " Home, sweet Homo " in tho second parf last night elicited encores that wero well deserved. Mr 11. Santloy, a fine baritone singer, made a sensation with his songs " Rocked in tho cradlo of tho doop," and " Tho sea is England's glory." Tho cotnio duetts by tho Lynch Brothers wero highly amusing, the " Quack Doctors" and "My grandfather's farmyard" being pieces of exquisite fooling. Tho Chinese song and dance and tho Sailor's Hornpipe in character wero worthy of tho highest praise. Mr Charles Lyndhurst's vontriloquial performance was admirable. Ho possesses tho peculiar power of throwing his voice in all directions and altering it at will to porfoction, and his " Morry Folks " was highly onteataining. Tho wholo concluded with the laughable farce of " Mr Johnson in want of a coachman," in which Messrs Lynch and Lyndhurst exercised thoir comio powers to tho utmost. To-night there will bo an entire change of programme, concluding with tho farce of "Dr Brown's Dispensary."
