The violin was played by Miss Olive, a little girl of 13 years, and she played her part well, considering that she bad learned her piece dutiog the past week. It is a pity that the violin was not ■crewed up to accord with the instrument while on the stage, as it puts the little musician to a disadvantage ; she, however, used her fingers most creditably, and the piece was encored, though not responded to. 14. Comic song by Mr Connell “ The Oeitcher Flower Girl,” well sung, and loudly applauded; in response to the encore he sang •• Boor Kraut.” During the evening Mr Nation publicly thanked those la lies and gentlemen who had come from Waihakeke to help, and also the Stonestead ladies, aud expressed a hope that when the Waihakeke people wanted similar assistance they would count upon Greytown returning the kindness.
