WANGANUI ORCHESTRAL CONCERT

The fine programme to be played by tht Wanganui Orchestral Society has taken a great deal of preparation, and in. attempt ing such a heavy evening's programme, the Society have clearly shown that they take a d«ep interest in their work. From a musical point of view, it is doubtful ii any similar society offers a more attractive programme. Beethoven's Symphony, No. 1, in C major, will be played, and UiL in itself is something quite unusual. 11 is a very fine composition, entailing harcl work all round by ©very member of the band. The rehearsals, although very nu merous, have been well attended, and tlu public should reward the members with l bumper house- on Friday next. Seats ar<. procurable at Messrs H. I. Jor.es anc! Son's.

Shareholders of the People's Building Society are reminded of the annual meeting to be held on Monday evening next.

At the No-license mass meeting in tluDrill Hall to-morrow the medical profes sion will be represented by Dr Innes, avlh will preside at the nigrht meeting : tin educational profession will bo represente!* by Miss Fraser, ALA. (principal of tlu Girls' College) and by TUr Wm. Gray M.A. (Inspector of Schools), and the clerical profession by local ministers. To morrow's meetings .ire "the last public

meetings in the No-license interest. In the afternon, besides the addresses, Miss Dexter will give an appropriate recitation. Popular hymns will be sung at both gatherings, hymn sheets being provided. We are a3iccd to state that the afternoon gathering is not confined to young people, and there will be room for friends of the cause who wish to attend. Special attention is called to the collections at each meeting in aid of the fund for providing food for the needy up-river Maoris.
