THE BLACK FAMILY.

The Black Family, if not yet quite a household word in New Zealand, are at anyrate well and favourably known from Auckland to the Bluff. Everyone knows of them, and most people have heard and admired them. It is very doubtful whether there is another family in the Empire which is so talented and genuinely musical, without a trace of amateurishness. Miss Nellie Black need have no hesitation to sing, or play the violin before any judges, not to mention her many other accomplishments, and every member of the family excels in his or her particular line, which is the secret of the splendid programmes they invariably put on. What has helped immensely to increase the popularity of the Blaox Family is the fact that they take the same pains and trouble to please, whether in Bis Majesty’s Theatre or a backblocks hall. Their last tour was literally a triumphal progress up and down the country; settlements which, one might think, would find it hard to scrape up an audience, attended the concerts almost to a man, woman and child, so that, actually, in spite of the reasonable charges, every place visited, without a single exception, was a financial success. The company will appear in the Alexandra Ball, Cambridge, on Monday next, 2nd October, and at the Town Hall, Hamilton, on the following night. They played at the i’bojuix Ball, Morrinsville, on Tuesday evening, when they' had a most enthusiastic reception.
