This is the greatest compliment that could have been tendered to the performers, who have paid a previous visit to Paterangi, and whose ahilitv is well known and whose efforts on behalf of charitable causes are greatly'appreciated. That the large audience was not disappointed was evidenced by the vociferous and pro 7 longed applause that followed every item each performer being brought back for an encore. The programme was long and of exceptional merit. At the conclusion of the concert a sumptuous supper (provided by the Paterangi Tennis Club) was greatly appreciated by the visitors.
