The concerts are to bo held in the entertainment hall of the Exhibition on the evenings of December Ist, 2nd, 3rd and jstb. It had been arranged to hold the third concert on the 4th, but this has been transferred to Thursday, 3rd, on account of the elections falling on the Friday. The soloists will include Madame Eveleen Carlton, Miss Parsons, Mr John Hill. j. Mr John Prouse, and in “ Comala ” Mrs Sbortridge and Mr F. S. Pope. Miss Constance Hathorlyhas been en-gp-yodfor the harp parts. Altogether, a most enjoyable week’s festival is in store, and as the bos plans for the four concerts are now open at the Dresden Rooms, all who are not subscriber? and who intend to bo present at one or all of the concerts should at once mark off thoir seats, as there is little doubt but that the whole hall will be fully reserved. Elsewhere will bo found the programme to be presented at each • particular concert, and other particulars of detail. '
