OAMARU CHORAL SOCIETY. The Oama.ru Choral last night SSrt vLy ° r nnd Te hi’mony was perfect, while the solos Kmui" an excellent manner. Miss E d q c " lant, the contralto, created a very deep impression in her various numbers hoi rendering of “He was Despised being faulted Mrs Cara Tait of Tirnaru was in fine voice, and her clear sopiano was heard to the best effect in I Know that My Redeemer Livcth.”Mr A. Walmsley was most successful in his tenor JYuneißu Unfortuntely, Mr L. A. North,of DuneiLu, was prevented by indisposition from boing present. The bass solos were, therefore, taken by Mr Charles L. James, of Oamaru, who did them the fullest justice. the orchestral work was well up to the Oamaru standard, and added greatly to the success of the production. The orchestra was under the leadership of Mr R. J. Meldrum. with Mr C. W. Naylor at the organ The whole production was under the baton ol Mr C. G, Wilkinspn, conductor of the society, and proved one of the finest musical efforts ever made in this part of tne Dominion LAKE OHAU TROUT.

This year anglers have visited the lake, and have secured splendid baskets. Mr Ronald Borrie, of Papakaio, recently visited Ohau, and killed about a dozen rainbow, ranging in weight from 41b to 61b. There is a good road to the lake and anglers cannot fail to secure fish should the weather prove at all favourable. The day is considered to be not far distant when Lake Ohau will bo one of the most popular fishing grounds in tho South Island. CRICKET.
