NGAIRE NOTES.

(From Our Own Correspondent.) On Thursday night the Ngaore Hall was the scene of the school concert, when, despite the very rough weather, there was a very good atendance of parents and friends of the little performers. The programme was long and varied. Most of the items were rendered by the children, and being thoroughly carried out, were fully appreciated. Great credit is; due to tho teachers for the excellent performances, as there was a very short time for preparation. The various kinds of drill—physical, wand and rifle—were very prettily executed. Tho solo (Miss Muffet ) was very sweetly sung by Miss Y. O’Neill. After the interval the audience received a treat by Miss Sanders singing ‘‘Alone, on the Haft,” which was so well appreciated that she received an encore, and then kindly sang “Invitation”’ The Committee was very fortunate in obtaining the services of Mr Murfitt, a professional conjurer and ventriloquist, who very kindly, gave an exhibition of his skill, and judging by the applause he received, Mr Murfitt thoroughly pleased his audience. The chairman (Mr T. E. Coleman) in a few well chosen words thanks the performers, especially those who came a distance, also tho ladies who supplied the bountiful supper which was ■enjoyed by young and old.'(After Slipper the floor I was cleared for dancing, and a very enjoyable time ensued. Mr N. Coleman was indefatigable in performing his duties as M.C. The dance music was kindly supplied by Miss Keppell and Messrs Parker and Coleman. Owing to the inclement weather a number of people were unable to attend the concert, so it is intended to gave it again in about two weeks’ time, when we hope-that the weather will be more settled.
