THE TRIUS FURNISHING CO.

A FLOURISHING INDUSTRY. The Trius Furnishing Co., Mt. Eden Road, situated at the corner of Craddock Street, have built up a splendid reputation for high-class furniture owing to the superior workmanship invariably associated wtih their furniture and other household articles, and the public have been quick to perceive that a first-class bargain is offered by this progressive firm at a reasonable rate. A visit paid to the

Trius Furnishing Co. is a pleasing experience for those who contemplate matrimony or desire to add to the furnishings of their homes. The windows of the up-to-date premises are tastefully dressed with all classes of furnishings—rimu, oak, plain and fumed sideboards, couches, dressingchests, settees, in artistic and unique designs, these being made to order on the premises. Customers dealing with the firm can have their furniture constructed to any particular design they may desire. Mr. G. J. Adams, the proprietor, in the course of conversat'on with a representative of the “Review,” emphasised the fact that nothing but the very best seasoned timber was used, and this was fully borne out on examination of many articles manufactured by this firm. Owing to a low rental, the Trius Furnishing Co. are able to retail their goods at lowest wholesale rates, and our readers should certainly not fail to pay a visit to this firm when 'requiring .furnishings of any description. Mr. Adams will be pleased to supply estimates and submit designs on application. We draw attention to their advertisement, which appears on our front cover.

What is probably the first purely Australian song cycle was performed for the first time at Mrs. Leedham Crowe’s “At Home” at the Bond Street Galleries on Monday evening (says the “British Australasian” of July 12). It is called “The Birth of the Anzac,” the words and music being by Mrs. Richmond Nitschke, a well-known musical South Australian. The cycle is written for three voices —bass, soprano and contralto —and a reciter, who delivers what may be called the descriptive part to musical accompaniment. The composition is an interesting one, with music of considerable beauty and occasional .dramatic power. The words are equally good, and finish in a triumphal note: “The Anzac name, and the Anzac fame, undimmed by blame, or stain or loss,

Will last as long as the stars shall shine, the blazing stars of the Southern Cross.”

The new cycle had an excellent re' ception from the audience.
