POPULAR CONCERT.

There was a good attend inee at the City Hall ou Wednesday, wheaan entertainment was given by Messrs Collins, Browne, and Stapleton's combination. The programme was an excellent one, comprising vocal solos (humorous and otherwise), sketches, and a farce. The songs were so much- appreciated that iv nearly every instance encores were demanded. The performer* are all well known iv Dunedin, and are deservedly popular with- the patrons of the City Hail. Mi>s Millicent Mowbray, who sang "Flags of all nations" and "Jack's the lad," met wifch a very favourable reception, as did Miss Malvino, who contributed " Twiggy Voo" and " Gam away," while Miss Hettie Howarde created a good deal of amusement in her humorous sketches. Mr Chas. Brookes xvns heard to advantage in his descriptive song*. Messrs Craydon and Wocd were entertaining in their "original act," and Mr Frank May sapg with effect; " The ship that I love " and " The boy from Mullinear." Messrs J. R., Stapleton, Collins, and Browne provided the comic element, and thafc their efforts were successful was plainly evident from the frequent outbursts of Unghtf-r while they occupied the stage. The Irish sketch " The Arrival of Mr Warde" and the farce "Do you Know my Motber" were also very amusing. Another concert wili be given on Saturday evening.
