COLUMBA COLLEGE.

CONCERT BY PUPILS. There was a very large audience at Constance Hall, Golumba College, last night, when an excellent concert was presented by the pupils and music students of the College. The programme was composed for the most part of piano solos, and vocal music, and the proceeds were in aid of the musical equipment fund. There were 26 items on the programme, presented more or less In order of the age of the performers, the youngest coming first. The concert was opened with the college hymn, “ (Jo Columba,” sung by a choir of about 120 voices. This was followed by a unison song which proved to be an Easter carol, the same choir singing this very acceptably. A very tiny tot headed the list of solo performers. This was Jocelyn Cook, who played a little piano solo very prettily. Of the junior girls, Jean Campbell's item is specially worthy of mention. She played a piano piece, “ A Drowsy Noon,” very nicely, showing that she is a really promising pianistc.
