DUNEDIN.
Dear Bee, February 8. A lull has followed the whirl of a fortnight ago, to be followed by a revival of excitement at race time. I noticed in the account telegraphed to you of Lord Glasgow’s visit that ‘ TOLCAIRN,’ t ic residence of the Hon. Mr and Mrs Oliver, had got twisted into a very funny name indeed, The Steen-Smith Company have opened their season in Dunedin, and are causing the same sensation that they have caused elsewhere. The Jubilee Singers on their return gave two nights which were anything but well atttended, although Miss Wormlie’s recitations ar ® in themselves alone worth a visit. The Saturday night popular concerts are increasing every night in popularity, the modest Choral Hall having been abandoned for the largest hall we have—the Garrison. The price, sixpence, brings them within the reach of family parties, and the concerts themselves are of excellent sort, good music (not heavy) and good recitations catching the public taste. i J.* 118 ,.concludes my scanty news for this week. In my next letter I shall have more.
Maude.
