MANGAMAHOE.

(Prom Our Own Correspondent.) MANGAMAHOE, Monday, A very successful school concert, in aid of the School Librarj funds, was held here on Friday night, in our new Public Hall. The items were ail thoroughly appreciated by a very large audience. At the conclusion of the concert a very hearty vote of thanks to the teacher, Miss K. Campbell, on behalf of the parents, was proposed by the Chairman, Mr H. Larssen,and was carried unanimously. The children were ' also heartily cheered. The items were all very good. The dumb-bell and club exercises, and the dialogues by the infant class were perhaps most appreciated. In the latter a comic dialogue between Eileen and Harold Nation, •entitled "Susie's Lesson," excited a great deal of laughter and was warmly applauded. A very pretty song, "Rosy Posy," by two small girls—'Eileen Nation and Ada Whiting—with their dollies, was also a good item. "A Family of Seven" was without doubt the best acted of the junior dialogues, the children going through their parts in a very natural manner —even the baby boy, Rex Larsen, with his insistent "And Me." Among the other items, the pianoforte duet by Master Samuel and Miss Mary Dawson, was very well played, and the singing of a song, "The Tale of a Cat," in one of the dialogues, by Masters Leslie Wink and Vic. Larssen was well received, both boys possessing voices of good quality and tone.
