KIHIKIHI CAT HOLIC CONCERT.

Os reading the account, of the-, concert, held on St!" Patiick's '])ay. it struck me very forcibly that it had been wiitten by the authority of one of-6ur visitors, as the Kihikihi talent was lett completely out in- • the; coltl. No , idoubtfthe visitors were. good, ( but be it remembered that there were other singeis that weic equally as good that were never mentioned. '""Nancy' Lee" was well rendered, nndjnovcd Mr Neal £o te an artist ,of more' ttian average^ talent; and public opinion, if we go by tlie applause, put him in the position of the, best man. The songs of Mrs Nicholson audi Miss JMj6"VV"ard/« ere rendered with,exquisite taste, but were not appreciated as they should have been, through a superabundance of muscle on the part of the pial'uiot', <"' wW "completely ,dro_wnedj the sweetest parts of their voices. Jolly' Johnson was not; up to the usual mark, I still (he ( s ; well,' , receivpd Messrs Hurlily and Hall; from Alexandra, in their comicalities, treated the audience with what, they went there for — "amusement." If' such men as these wtjre more appreciated and soughtjaf ter for eirbdrtainments,^' they ?
