Conceit
On Friday evening a large audience assembled in the Town Hall to hear Mr William Mackenzie’s rendition of Scottish and other national songs. On Mr Mackenzie making his appearance before the footlights, he was greeted with enthusiastic applause, which, on the completion of every item given by him during the evening, was repeated. Ho opened the programme by singing in first-class style “ The Bugler,” and an imperative encore was demanded. During the evening he contributed “ The Cameron Men,” “ The Laird o’ Oockpen,” “ Onr Guid Man Came Home at E’en,” and “ Father O’Flyn,” besides taking part iu several concerted pieces. He proved himself peerless in his rendition of Scottish songs, and in the other items proved himself to be the versatile vocalist for which he has such a world-wide reputation. He also contributed several amusing Scottish and Irish anecdotes, which created roars of laughter. He was ably assisted by the other members of the Company. There was another performance on Saturday evening, but it was not so well attended as the merits of the performance deserved.
