CONCERT AT CAMBRIDGE.

A concert was held in the Oddfellows' Hull, Cambridge, on Wednesday evening, in aid of the O'Neil and Steuart hiruls. The attendance was somewhat meagre, and we doubt if there will be much to hand over to the trustees, The programme was as follows :—Piano solo, " Golden Bells," Miss Broom ; then came songs, " The Last Milestone," Miss F. Maxwell; "I fear no Foe," Mr Langmuir, " The Sweetest Story Ever Told," Miss Sharp; " The Wolf," Mr Huxtable ; '* Killamey," Miss Fariell ; "Three Jolly Sailor Btys," Mr W. Wallace ; " The Miner's Dream of Home," Miss Roberts ; comic song, " Mrs 'Enry 'Awkins," Mr Smailes. Interval. Clarionet solo, "Oberon," Mr C. Stewart; songs, " Rocked in the Cradle of the Deep," Mr Huxtable; *• The Toilers," Miss Farrell; " The Sleeping Camp," Mr Langmuir ; "Best of All," Miss P. Maxwell ; " Ben Bolt," Miss Sharp ; "No Sir," Mi3s Roberts; comic song, "Buggios," Mr Smailes. Miss Maxwell M-as encored and in compliance gave " Bid Me to Love," for which she was also loudly applauded. Miss Farrell in response to an encore Bttog"The Two Nightingales," a lovely melody, which was ably rendered, and was the most pleasing item of the evening. Miss Sharp was encored and repeated portions of her tongs, us did also Miss Koberts. Mr Huxtable gave as an encore " The Village Blacksmith," and .we need hardly say Mr Smailes efforts were rewarded with encores, to which he responded with " Are You Going to the Ball," and the recitation '• The Twins." The instrumental solos were excellently given, and were loudly applauded. _^__^__^___
