CONCERT.

ST. PETER'S SUNDAY SCHOOL. The annual concert in connection with St.' Peter's Sunday School was held in the Parish Hall, Temuka; last evening, the hall being crowded to the doors with an appreciative audience. The Vicar presided, and . before the commencement of - the programme made a few explanatory remarks. The programme was a very enjoyable one;. The first part was by the children, who had been carefully trained by Mrs Routledge, abLy assisted by Mrs Salmon and 'Miss Phillins, and the way the young performers gave their items reflected much credit on themselves and their teachers. Every item was applauded and in several Instances the performers were encored. The following is the programme:—Overture, Miss Purdbm; dialogue, "The Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe;", Chil- , dren; recitation, Lorna Shiels; song, Small boys; recitation, Wanaka Kelland; song, "Pack Up Your Troubles," Boys; recitation, Dorothy Keys; song, Maurice Brickell; ribbon dance, Girls (encored); song, Rona Manning; recitation, Flo. Solitt; .song, "Old Man Care," Boys; song, Ngaire Keys; a skipping song, Girls; song, "Jenny Wren," Girls; Spanish dance, Roma Manning, who danced very gracefully and was vociferously encored; song, Rua Wells (encored); song, "Good Night," Girls; song, Nancy Hutchison; dialogue, "The Photographer" (encored). The second part of the pro?raui7ne was given by ladies and gentlemen, as follows:—Song, Mrs Talbot, "Little Boy Blue"; song, Mr Salmon I who, in response to an encore, sang "When I W T as a Boy at School'-; song, Mrs Stanley, "Come Away With Me," and in response to. an encore "My Rosary"; song, Miss Roma Manning, and in response to encores "Mickey," and "Honey Boy"; song, Mr Burrows, "Just In the Usual Way." Loud applause followed each item, the audience showing in an unmistakeable way that they were well pleased. The Rev. Norris proposed a hearty vote of thanks to the performers, and to Mrs Routledge, who assisted by Mrs Salmon and Miss Phillips, had trained the children. No doubt the children had enjoyed their part, but an enormous amount of work had devolved on their teachers, Mrs Routledge, Mrs Salmon and Miss Phillips. The vote w-as carried by acclamation, and a verse of the National Anthem brought another enjoyable and highly successful concert to a close. The accompaniments were played by Mrs Salmon, and contributed in no small measure lo the enjoyment of the evening.
