PALMERSTON NORTH.

Dear Bee, — August 17, 1906. There was a very large audience present at the Opera House on Tuesday, the 7th inst..on the occasion of THE PALMERSTON ORCHESTRAL SECOND CONCERT. of its eleventh season. The orchestra never before appeared to better advantage. and Mr Gunter, the acting conductor, who has taken charge during the absence of Mr M. Cohen, must have been gratified at the appreciation displayed by the splendid audience present. The soloists were most successful with their several numbers. Miss Perrin, a local vocalist. delighted everyone with her beautiful rendering of Gounod’s "Message of Love.’ and in response to an imperative encore sang the "Yanka’s Song." The Rev. S- J. Handover, of Wellington, and formerly of Palmerston, received a most flattering reception, and had to respond to hearty encores. His first number, Blumenthal’s ‘My Queen." suited his sweet, pure tenor voice to perfection, and on being recalled he gave T-ambert’s "A Lament.’ He was equally successful with Willeby’s "Crossing the Bar.” and two songlets by Noel -Johnston. ‘‘The Rose" and "The River by the Sea.” Mr H, Mosehini. of Wellington, played a clarionette solo ‘’Concertino.’ and as an encore Goddard’s "Berceuse de Jocelyn.’ Mr Gunter and Miss Ganstad played the accompaniments. Miss Ganstad wore a dainty eream silk and lace frock, cluster of crimson roses on corsage, black velvet bow in hair: Miss Perrin was becomingly dressed in cream. AMONG THE AUDENCE I noticed Mrs F. S.
