Somewhat Mixed.

Tlie information contained in the following paragraph from “M.A.P.” is mixed to say the least. We would like to hear some of those threepenny concerts, and would be glad to Know when and where the next will be held:- — “It is most interesting to hear from Watkin Mills of the great demand he has met with in Australia for the compositions of Mme. Liza/'Lehmann. - Her

“Daisy Chain” and her “Persian Garden” were clamoured for in some of the most out-of-the-way places in New Zealand—which goes to show that the municipal concerts of the country, where the people can enjoy the best music on payment of threepence for admission. have done much in the way of cultivation. The Sydney Town Hall accommodates four thousand persons, and at some of the municipal concerts held here every seat is occunied. This, of course, in the general way. makes it a little difficult for English concert parties to gain financial profit in addition to artistic appreciation; but for Melba, for Miss Ada Crossley, and for Watkin Mills the patronage l> as been readv and numerous enough.”
