AMUSEMENTS & MEETINGS.

HARRY DEARTH. COMING TO WANGANUI. “Wellington is waking up to the knowledge that in Mr Harry Dearth is a peerless singer of ballads. On Friday evening the Concert Chamber was filled by an audience which readily succumbed to the spell of the art of the Loudon baritone, and it was not until he had sung three times as many songs as he was programmed for that there was evinced any kind of satisfaction. Mr Dearth is one of those rare singers who is capable of investing each song with an atmosphere and individuality of its own, and whether the mood be tragic, ■ dramatic, romantic, comic, or pathetic, it is painted iu its truest colours, slammed home by the magnetism and searching temperament of the man behind it,” so said the Dominion of the concert given by the great London baritone at" Wellington on Thursday evening. Wanganui music-lovers will be delighted to hear that Air Dearth will give concerts here on November Ist and 3rd. He is supported by Madame Marie Power, Miss Garden Jura and Mr Harold Beck. These concerts will undoubtedly be among the greatest treats yet given to M’anganui people, HALLOWE’EN CONCERT AT GONVILLE. Residents of Gonyille will be interested to learn that a grand Hallowe’en concert is to be held in the Town Hall, Gonville, on Friday, October 21, when a programme of Scottish songs, stories, recitations, dancing, and piping will be submitted. The proceeds are for the Knox Presbyterian Church funds. A further advertisement calls attention to the grand everybody’s springtime bazaar which is to take place in the schoolroom of the Methodist Church, Dublin Street, on Wednesday and Thursday of next week. A full list of attractions has been drawn up, and the many Stalls will be supplied with" every class of goods. The evenings will be varied with music, competitions, etc.
