CONCERT.

An uppretending, but pleasant and successful concert was given on Thursday evening, the 16th inst., in St Joseph's school-room, in aid of the Cathedral Building Fund, by the members of the Society of the Children of Mary. The programme was an attractive one, and the manner in which it was performed was most creditable to those who took part in it. Pianoforte duets — Diabelh's in D and Blake's "The Shepherd's Evening Song" — were very tastefully played by Misses H. Harris and W. Connor, and Woods and Conway respectively. "See our Oars," '• The H irp that One-," and " Home, Sweet Home " «ere sung as cboru«es by all the young ladies pr-sent on the platform with very good eff-'cr. Piauotorte solos — "Jessie's Dream, " " Glittering Bpray,'' " Tiibh Airs " and " Argentine " were performed wiih much brilliancy by the Misses Conway, H. Harris, O'Driscoll, and Harming. The vocal solos were " Stnsr Sweet Bird," given very pleadingly by Mus Woods, and Moore's " The Shamrock," charmingly rendered by Miss Conway, who also sang with equal effect, Cowen's " 'Twas a Dre-im." Vocal du^ts were sung very sweetly by the Misses O'Driscoll and Harris, Tobin and Murphy, and O'Driscoll and Conway. They were as follows -.—The •• Echo Duet," "Friendship" and "Come o'er the Moonlit Sea." Miss Murphy gave with humour and excellent emphasis as a recitation, " The Doctors Apprentice. — There was a full audience, who appeared well pleased with the entertainment, which, indeed, was found so good that it was repeated under the patronage of his Lordship the Bishop on Tuesday evening and with even better effect, if possible.
