NELSON.

Dear Bee, December 6. Owing to there being no steamer from Nelson this week on Thursday. I must post, this letter a day earlier, and shall therefore not be able to Rive you a description of the sale of work (which is to be held today! until next week. We have been having most unsettled weather lately, and yesterday a perfect storm broke over Nelson, the rain coming down in torrents. The same thing happened last Thursday, and thus prevented many from going to the concert given by the members of the Harmonic Society. However, they have kindly consented to repeat what all who were present say was a most enjoyable concert. It is to be next week or the week after, and on this occasion we must hope for one of Nelson’s warm, balmy evenings, and not a repetition of last week’s storm. I noticed among the singers AT THE CONCERT Mrs Houlker. Mrs Walker. Mrs Fell. Mrs J. Sharp. Mrs R. Kingdon. Mrs Hnult. Miss Mackay. Miss Fell. Miss B. Mnore. Miss Sealy. Miss Gibson, Miss Gibbs. Misses .Jones (two), Miss Kempthorne. Mrs Carrigan. Mrs Wright. Miss Wright, etc. Among the audience were Mrs and Miss Renwick. Miss Boor. Mrs Sealy. Mr and Miss Pitt. Mrs Mackay. Mrs Bunny. Mrs and Miss Bell. Miss Cuthbertson. Miss Curtis. Miss Tendall, Miss Higgins. Miss A. Bell. Miss Browning. At Mr and Mrs Langley Adams’ last Friday were Mrs Mackay. Mrs Howie, Mi«s Woods (Christchurch). Mr and Mrs R. Kingdon. Mr Howie, Miss Mackay. Mr and Mrs J. Sharp. Mr and Miss Jones. OUR PEOPLE. Among the arrivals to Nelson during the last week have been Lady and Miss Gorst. who have just come from England, and are to pay Lady Gorst’s parents (the Rev. Mr and Mrs Moore) a long visit. How delighted they must be to meet again after an absence of nearly thirty years. Mrs Fenwick, of Dunedin, is staying with her father. Judge Robinson. Miss Broad has returned from Wellington, and is looking well after her trip. Mr and Mrs Eliot-Eliot, who have been residing in Nelson all the winter, left yesterday for their home in Dunedin. Miss J. Pitt, also left Nelson yesterday for a few weeks in Wellington. We all hone the change will prove enjoyable to her. Mr and Mrs Harold Glasgow returned home last Thursday. All her friends were so glad to see her once more looking so bright and well.
